The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Luna felt guilt wash over her entire being. "Aunty, I don't have any other reason." 

Madam Jiang scanned her seriously. "Since that's the case, then listen to me. 

I know I may sound selfish for saying this, but I'm not going to pretend that I don't care about that baby. Aside from being yours and Xingyu's, he is my grandchild as well." 

Luna couldn't blame her. At least she was being honest. But, "I'm sorry, I…" 

"I'm still speaking." She interrupted her, maintaining her serious look. "There are uncountable methods of contraception. I'm sure you don't need me to name and explain them?" 

Luna blushed and shook her head. 

"I thought so." Madam Jiang crossed her arms. "Since you knew that they existed, but you and Xingyu still chose to observe none of them, what were you expecting aside from getting pregnant? It's one thing if they failed but if you didn't even think of protecting yourselves, where do you get the audacity to claim that you were not ready to be parents?" 

"Aunty…" Luna was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. Madam Jiang had never been so serious with her, much less to talk about such a topic. 

The older woman sat down. "That said, let's talk about your decision to get rid of it. If you are sure that you will neither regret it nor miss that baby, I have nothing against your decision. But think about what might happen to your body afterwards. Think about…" She paused midway. She didn't need to tell her any of that either. She must have already learnt all about it. 

She stood to leave, pausing briefly. "If knowing this helps; I wasn't ready for Xingyu either. Xingren and I were in love but we had to rush into marriage because Xingyu happened… but don't I love him more than my life now? 

Luna, you must be overwhelmed at the moment but… don't be rash, okay?

I'll see myself out." 

Luna blanked out as Madam Jiang left. She was just like her in the past? That was unexpected. 

Of course, she knew that Madam Jiang couldn't possibly make up such a thing just to convince her to keep her baby. 

But, what she had said made sense. What if, after having an abortion, she regretted it and wanted the baby back?

Lanni's apartment. 

Xiehan pulled the pacing Lanni into his arms. "Hey, calm down, okay?" 

"I can't calm down, okay? I want to, but I can't." She felt like pulling her hair. 

Xiehan pulled her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her. "Tell me, what's happening? You are getting more distressed by the second." 

"I have no idea." She shrugged. She didn't know why she was so restless and that made her even more restless. 

She sighed. "I wonder how Luna is doing. She must be so depressed."

"That's it." He chuckled. "You are restless because you think Luna is restless. Maybe that's a twins thing as well. Why don't you check on her?" 

"Last I checked, she didn't answer my call." She sighed. 

Xiehan ran a hand through her hair. "Why don't I help you relax?" 

When she nodded, he held her hand and led her towards the master bedroom. 

…

Thirty minutes later. 

"Xiehan, it feels so good…" Lanni breathed a gasp as her heart raced. 

"Are you feeling better now?" 

"Not just better. I feel ecstatic!" She let out a breath as he gently flipped her onto her back. 

He stretched her arms out above her head and held them in place, then lifted her leg by the knee pit . He let it down after a few seconds. "Sit up." 

She did, then rested her head on his chest. "I didn't know your way of helping me relax was by stretching my muscles." She laughed.

He tapped her forehead. "Were you thinking of something else? If you want me to do that too, I will gladly do it." 

"Pervert." She jabbed him, her cheeks flushing. "Anyway, I didn't know there was a gym in my apartment until today." 

"That's because you have not had a thorough tour of your apartment yet." He laughed. There were rooms she had never been curious enough to check out, and one of them just happened to be the gym. It had all the modern equipment and she could hire a trainer if she needed to. 

Thinking about it, she sighed. "It's boring to work out alone, don't you think?" 

"You can call me over to work out with you when you want to." He wiggled his brows. "We could do all sorts of work out. In the gym, in the bathroom, on the sofa, in the kitchen, in bed…" 

"Hey! I wasn't talking about that kind of work out." Her cheeks flushed. Her boyfriend was so perverted! 

Before he could say anything else, she stood up. "I'll go take a shower." 

"Mmh." He nodded then immediately added, "Can I join you?" 

She was speechless. Before she could say no, her brain started straying and forming images of him in the shower, with water all over him. 

She gulped and nodded before she could stop herself, then she disappeared into the bathroom. 

He chuckled and followed her in. When she covered her bare b.o.o.b.s with her hands, he withheld a laugh. "Why are you shy? It's not like we have not had a shower together before." 

"Shut up and come here." She pulled him under the shower with his clothes still on. They soaked and immediately clung onto his skin, outlining the alluring body underneath them. Her heart raced as she unbuttoned his shirt and took it off him. 

He held the back of her head and kissed her passionately. Grabbing her hand, he led it to his crotch. Her eyes widened when she felt how hard he already was. 

"Honey, I want you." He whispered. 

She took his hand and pressed it onto her b.r.e.a.s.t. "I want you just as much." Then she pressed her lips against his. 

His hand slid around her back and pulled her against his body. She fumbled with his pants and pulled them off him, letting them drop onto the wet floor.
