The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

She tried to smile it off and not eavesdrop on their conversation but Jiang Xingyu's tone didn't do anything to make that easy. He sounded so gentle that it was almost unbelievable. Although he had always spoken to her in a tone that made her feel—think—she was special to him, this time it was on a whole other level. 

"Who said so?... No, of course not! How could that be… Okay, okay… I love you more than my whole life. Happy now? Sure, I'll buy it for you and send it to your home." 

Each of his statements sliced through her heart like a dagger. What bothered her the most was, why the hell would he say such words to another woman in her presence? Was it so she would know that he had a girlfriend? 

With a sigh, she returned the massage oil onto the vanity and turned to leave. 

Just as she reached the front door, Jiang Xingyu was behind her. "Luna, where are you going?" 

His confused expression irritated her. "I'll be on my way now. Goodnight." 

He grabbed her hand before she could move a step. "What happened?" 

She cringed at his question. Was he seriously trying to feign oblivion? "You are asking me what happened when you had the audacity to flirt with two women at the same time? 

Look, I don't care how your brain functions, but I'm leaving so you will have more time to chat with your Chloe. You're welcome." 

The man was stumped. In the next second, he understood what was going on and slapped his forehead. "Oh my god! Hahahahaha… Is she the reason why you're leaving?" 

She raised an eyebrow. 

"Are you jealous?" He asked through a laugh. 

Of course! Who wouldn't be jealous if the man they were about to confess to suddenly started flirting with someone else? But how could she admit that? She crossed her arms with a scoff. "Jealous? What makes you think I would get jealous because of someone like you?" 

"The look in your eyes." He broke into another bout of laughter. Although he was enjoying her jealous antics, he didn't dare let it go on for too long, knowing that she would never speak to him if she left in her angry state. Hence, he held her hand and dragged her to the couch, sitting beside her. 

"Listen, uhm… Chloe is…" 

"I don't want to hear it." She made to block her ears. 

Taking her hands off the sides of her head, he laughed at how cute she was when being jealous. He couldn't help thinking too much about it. Why was she jealous in the first place? Had she started liking him? 

Feeling like he was on top of a cloud, he resumed explaining, "She isn't someone you should be jealous of, really. She's just a baby." 

"How is that my business?" She harrumphed, then widened her eyes. "Wait. A baby?!" 

"Don't give me that expression!" He waved his hands in the air. "No, she's not my daughter." 

"Oh." She sighed in relief. It wasn't that she had any problem with dating a man who was already a father. However, as a woman who had grown under the toxic care of a stepmother, she was scared of being one herself. What if she had learnt all the bad things from Li Xiyan? She wouldn't want someone else's child to go through that kind of torture. 

But the point right now was, "If she is not your daughter, who is she?" 

"My cousin's daughter." He explained. "You see, my cousin and his wife are always very busy and rarely have time for their baby. Hence, when she first met me and I gave her the attention she needed, she started sticking onto me. They don't live in B City so I can't go to see her every day, which is why she will often give me a call and we will talk for hours sometimes." 

Luna felt silly for having been jealous over a little girl. "How old is she anyway?" 

His answer made her feel even more stupid. The girl was only five! 

Now that she recalled it, the whole time, Jiang Xingyu had sounded like he was coaxing a little girl. So he really was coaxing a little girl. 

"She is so adorable. If you like kids, I can introduce you." He suggested. 

"I'm not too sure about that." She dismissed. 

He laughed and pulled her onto his lap. "Now, let's talk about why you were jealous." 

"I wasn't!" She protested and pulled off him, heading to the master bedroom in embarrassment. 

He ran after her, laughing at her blushing face. "Just admit it. You thought I was seeing another woman, didn't you? But the question is, why did it rile you up so much?" 

"Shut up." She didn't need a mirror to know that her cheeks were pink at the moment. She dashed into the bedroom and wanted to dive into bed to hide. 

But just as she neared the bed, she shut her eyes with a hand against her temples. 

"Luna?" He dashed over to support her before she could fall. He helped her onto the bed and looked at her worriedly. "What happened? Are you dizzy? Does your head hurt?" 

She nodded and then shook her head almost immediately. "I felt dizzy for a second. I'm alright now." 

He scanned her worriedly and dashed to pour her a glass of water from the small dispenser in the room. "Have some water." 

She took the glass from his hand and merely took a sip before she felt it was enough. She turned to scan his worried face. "Relax, okay? I'm really alright. I must be tired, that's all." 

"I'll take you to hospital." He suggested. 

"Come on, don't make a fuss for such a tiny matter." She laughed, though she was touched by how much he cared about her. "I will take a warm shower and rest. I promise, I will be alright after a shower." 

Since she sounded so sure, he nodded. She stood up but as soon as she did, she fell back onto the bed, blacking out. 

"Luna!"

An hour later, at the hospital. 

Jiang Xingyu dashed to the doctor as soon as the door to the emergency ward opened. 

The doctor pulled off his mask. "Are you the patient's immediate family?" 

Before he answered, hurried footsteps filled the hallway before Lanni and Xiehan rushed over, panting from having rushed all the way here. He had given Lanni a call as soon as he brought Luna to hospital. 

"What happened to my sister?" Lanni asked anxiously, turning to the doctor. "Doctor, how is she? Is she alright?" 

"Miss, calm down." The doctor swept a glance at the three of them. "It's actually good news." 

Lanni glared at him. "Good news?! My sister fainted and you call it good news?" 

Jiang Xingyu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Wait, what? 

"The patient, Xia Luna, is one month pregnant. Congratulations! Both the mother and child are in perfect condition." 

Lanni's eyes went wide. P-pregnant?

Xiehan cast a glance at his friend. "Congratulations…?" 

Jiang Xingyu was speechless.
