The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Jiang Mansion.

"Xingyu is finally here." Madam Jiang sighed, sitting on the couch in the living room. She had heard the sound of a car engine and knew instantly that her son was back. 

Jiang Xingren, who was from the kitchen, gave her a cup of hot chocolate. When she took it, he sat beside her. "Why do you look so sad if our son is back?" 

She glared at him for his slow wit. "Don't you get it? Our son went on an extremely delicate and important mission. I'm worried, okay?" 

"Uh… what mission?" He looked confused, earning a scornful look from his wife. 

"Xingyu went to chase our daughter-in-law. How can you sit around and not encourage him?" 

He shrugged in his defense. "What's there to be worried about? Xingyu takes after me. He will definitely bring our daughter-in-law back home." At first, he had not trusted Luna especially since the latter was a wanted criminal in the past. However, after interacting with her a few times and seeing just how much his son loved her, even he could agree that there was no better match for XIngyu than her. 

While they were bickering, two pairs of footsteps resounded. 

Madam Jiang looked over and jumped in excitement when she saw the two of them. "Luna!" She ran over like an excited child and pulled the girl into a hug. 

"Aunty, you…" Luna didn't know what to say. After everything that had happened, she had thought that Madam Jiang would disapprove of her. Who would have thought that she would still be enthusiastic to see her? 

She returned the hug warmly and sighed. "Aunty, I'm sorry. Because I was willful and didn't see things clearly, I made you and Uncle worry." 

"Luna, what are you saying? It wasn't your fault. It's this useless Xingyu who was careless and caused you trouble." Madam Jiang broke the hug and cupped her face. "Look at you, have you been distressed? You have dark circles and your eyes are swollen too.��� 

She turned to glare at her son fiercely. "Did this punk make you cry? I will teach him a good lesson!" 

Before anyone could respond, she attacked Xingyu and grabbed his ear. 

"Ouch! Mother… I didn't do anything." He tried to defend himself. 

Madam Jiang huffed, pulling his ear fiercely. "You are still denying it, huh. Then how do you explain this?" 

"I really didn't do anything!" Xingyu complained pitifully. Was he really her son? He had gone through heaven and hell to bring back her daughter-in-law, and instead of getting praised, he was getting punished? 

Luna was caught between laughter and tears. How she had missed witnessing these fights. 

"That's enough, honey. You will really pull his ear off at this rate." Jiang Xingren came to his son's rescue. Xingyu immediately rushed to Luna's side for protection. 

She laughed at his theatrics. "Aunty, Xingyu didn't bully me." 

"See? Even Luna thinks I was good to her, but you pinched me!" He pouted, grabbing Luna's arm. 

"That's enough." Madam Jiang was annoyed. "What are you wailing for? Aren't you embarrassed? Since Luna is willing to let it go, I will forgive you this once." 

She then took Luna's hand. "Luna, I prepared delicious food for you. Come on, try it out." 

She gladly followed her to the dining room. Of course, the men were completely ignored and had to invite themselves to join them. She had expected that the atmosphere would be awkward. Seeing that nothing seemed to have changed between her and Madam Jiang, no words could express her joy. 

After the meal, Madam Jiang brought her for a walk around the garden. 

She had innumerable questions to ask but was scared to make Luna uncomfortable so she didn't know how to bring them up. 

"Aunty, is anything the matter?" Luna sharply noticed the older woman's unease. 

In response, Madam Jiang shook her head. "Not at all, Luna. I'm just happy that you came back to us." 

Luna smiled gently. "I'm even happier that I came back, happy that I didn't go through with the mistake I was going to make." Madam Jiang had been right. If she really went through with the operation, she would later miss her baby. This much was evident because right now, she looked forward to meeting her baby more than anything else. 

Madam Jiang was relieved. So she really was together with Xingyu permanently. "So, what are the two of you planning?" 

"What do you mean?" Luna asked, then understood it immediately. 

She had not thought about it but it was inevitable. If it was just the two of them, they would be in a dating relationship. But since they were going to be parents soon, would that really be appropriate? 

Seeing that they were finally on the same wavelength, Madam Jiang suggested, "If the two of you decide to get married soon, you can ask for my help no matter how soon it is. I will make sure you have the kind of wedding you have always wished for." 

"Thank you, aunty." Luna couldn't help feeling touched. She must have saved a galaxy in her previous life to deserve such a caring mother-in-law." 

___

Lanni's apartment. 

"How did it go?" Lanni asked Xingyu on the phone while she set aside the Ipad she was using to read comics. 

When the man explained how smoothly they had reunited and how excited his mother was to see Luna, Lanni was relieved. She hung up the call with a smile. "Finally, she found her happiness." Luna truly deserved it after all she had been through. 

Checking the time, she filled an online application then baked a small cake, and left for Xia Hanchen's villa. 

…

"You are here. What a pleasant surprise." Xia Hanchen was overjoyed to see his daughter. 

Lanni held out a see-through basket with a box inside it. "I promised to bake you a cake, so I brought it today." 

"You didn't have to go through the trouble. Since you have already baked it, I will reluctantly accept it." Even though he claimed to be reluctant, he quickly grabbed the basket and invited her in. 

She smiled at his theatrics and sat on a couch. Seeing a stack of doc.u.ments on the table, she felt troubled. "Are you very busy… should I come back later?" 

"Of course not. You are welcome at any time. I need a break anyway." He smiled. 

She frowned when she thought about how much work he had to do although he was working from home. Did it make any difference? "Is it very busy at the company? I can help you out since I don't have much to do lately." 

He shook his head immediately. "Don't worry. Daddy can handle this little work. How's it going?" He asked as he opened the box and then almost drooled at the chocolate cake that came into view. 

"I'm fine dad. I…" She stopped when she spotted a pink, silk scarf on the farthest couch. It was obviously a woman's. She was sure that it was not hers and it was not the type that Luna would wear either. Her cheeks flushed at a possibility. Was her dad seeing someone? Pfft... how cute.
