The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Monday, 19th February. 

Cheng Yu had finished getting ready for work and was about to have breakfast when she realized that Luna had not left her room yet. The latter had gotten used to sleeping early and waking up early so she would usually be the first to get ready. 

Cheng Yu wondered whether she was awake. When she waited for a few more minutes and still saw no sign of her, she went to check on her. The door had not been locked from the inside so she knocked and entered, only to find the latter still snuggling her pillow comfortably. 

She shook her head and went over to wake her gently. "Luna, wake up. You have a meeting soon." 

"Mmh?" Luna rubbed her eyes then rolled onto her side to continue sleeping. "But I don't want to go. It's so comfortable here." 

Seeing how tired she looked, Cheng Yu sighed. There was indeed a meeting in about one hour and a half and it would be better if she got up as soon as possible. However, Luna had been working so hard for the past few weeks that her body must be exhausted now. Besides, she was pregnant now and needed to take more rest. 

Thinking about it, she suggested, "How about this? I'll bring your breakfast then you can continue resting after eating. As for the meeting, I can postpone it." 

When she nodded, Cheng Yu brought over a tray with the dishes she had prepared for Luna—delicious but carefully selected to nourish her body. Of course, Luna had long decided to have an abortion and did not necessarily need supplements. Even so, Cheng Yu still encouraged her to stick to the required diet. 

Cheng Yu finished her own breakfast as well. She was preparing to call the restaurant downstairs and have them deliver food to Luna at lunch time when she realized that the latter had left her room. "You are…" 

"The company just gained more fame. This isn't the time to slack off." Luna smiled, suddenly rejuvenated after eating. "Wait for me, okay? We can go together." 

If Cheng Yu was not used to Luna's frequent change in mood lately, she would have been shocked. But since this wasn't the first time it was happening, she nodded. "Okay. I will help you prepare your things." 

Luna smiled. "What would I do without you?"

"You would take care of everything on your own, klutz." She joked and urged the other to get ready. 

Luna smiled and went to take a bath. It was not an exaggeration. She was indeed getting clumsier by the day. If she didn't have Cheng Yu by her side, she would have already made a huge mess of the company. 

…

Moonlight Studios. 

As soon as her meeting ended, Luna returned to her office, only to find a new mountain of work on her desk. 

She sat on the leather seat and groaned in exhaustion. The day had just begun, but she was already tired. 

Compared to its first month, Moonlight Studios was now several times busier, with more employees and more launched applications. Although everyone had worked very hard, she needed to thank Xingyu all over again. The company wouldn't have thrived without his support. 

Speaking of Xingyu, she wondered whether he would come today. He had been so busy in Jiang Corporation lately that he rarely made an appearance here, and his visits were too brief as well. 

She leaned over her desk. Why would she even expect him to come? He would find all sorts of excuses to come in the past but now, their situation was too different. 

"Are you okay, Luna? Do you need some fruit?" Cheng Yu asked when she entered the office and found her friend in such a sorry state. 

Luna straightened up with a smile. "No, I'm fine. These doc.u.ments are just so many…" 

Cheng Yu sighed when she saw the small mountain of files. "If it helps, I have completed the design you asked for." 

Luna took the blueprint from Cheng Yu and her mood brightened. "You're a genius!" 

"You exaggerate." Cheng Yu scanned the doc.u.ments beside her friend. "I can help you check through the contracts since I've finished most of my work." 

With Cheng Yu's help, she was more motivated, but with every passing hour, she checked the time and her heart sank. 

Before they realized it, it was already time to knock off. 

Taking some of the files to read through at home, Luna arranged her things in preparation to leave. She was just about to stand when a knock resounded on her door. 

"Come in." She said, assuming it was her assistant. "You can go home once you're done." 

When she didn't hear a response, she raised her head curiously, only to meet with Jiang Xingyu's gaze. Her heart skipped a beat. "You?" 

"Good evening, boss." He smiled modestly. 

"You don't have to call me that." she maintained her calm, not sure how to react to his presence. This was the first time she was seeing him so up close in weeks. Every other time he came to check on anything, he would speak to her assistant and leave without saying a word to her. 

"You mentioned that you needed another assistant since the current one intends to quit her job soon?" He cut the chase. 

Unsure of how to face him, she nodded and kept the professional attitude. "Yeah." 

He handed over a folder. "If you don't mind, I can recommend one. She just graduated from Z University but her grades are stellar and she is hardworking. If you consider her fitting, you can call her for an interview." 

She read through the file quickly and looked up at him. "Thank you." 

"It's nothing much." He smiled slightly, then turned to leave. 

'Wait…' She said in her mind, but her tongue was too stuck to let the word out. She watched his retreating back and tightened her hold of her bag unconsciously.

She had not seen him for so long, and heaven knew how much she missed him. 

She so badly wanted to run after him and hug him… but what right did she have to do that now?
