The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Lanni's apartment, at noon. 

Lanni paced around the walk-in closet, trying to find what to wear. Xiehan's flight would arrive in one hour and a half and she couldn't contain her excitement. After trying on dress after dress, she finally settled for a blue skirt and white sleeveless top. Sliding her high heels on, she put on a dab of lipstick and, spraying a tiny bit of perfume onto her neck, she grabbed her car keys and left the apartment.

B City Airport. 

She had left the house at the most convenient time, so neither she nor Xiehan had to wait for the other for too long. It wasn't long before she saw him exit his terminal. 

Just as she was about to rush up to him, she noticed a young lady a step behind him. She ignored her, assuming that the girl was going her own way, but just as Xiehan reached her, the girl clung onto his sleeve. 

Lanni almost gasped in disbelief. Not jumping into conclusions, she looked up at him with a smile. "I missed you." 

Before he could say a word, the girl beside him spoke up cheerfully. "Hello, I'm Xiehan's fiancée. You are?" 

Lanni almost dropped her car keys in disbelief. Fiancée? What was this girl saying? How could one gain a fiancée just by going on a two-day business trip?

The girl was giving her a provocative look that reminded her of Ruby. Now that she thought about it, they were quite similar. Paired with their slightly similar facial appearances, they had many similarities in their gaze, aura, not to mention that this girl also had long, fiery red hair. It made her wonder whether Xiehan preferred red-haired girls. 

Even so, she didn't want to lose her mind before confirming the girl's words so she looked up at Xiehan for confirmation. 

Xiehan saw her stumped expression and massaged his temples. 

"Xiaoshi, don't mess around." He warned the girl beside him sternly, then looked at the confused Lanni. "Yun Xiaoshi is my cousin—Aunt Meiling's daughter. I didn't have the chance to introduce you before she started spouting nonsense. She is too playful." 

The girl looked mortified and patted her chest, pretending to be heartbroken. "What are you saying? Are you denying me now?" 

"If you continue spewing crap and upset your cousin-in-law, I will shove you into the first flight to Australia." He threatened. 

The girl looked embarrassed. "Cousin, please don't be mad." 

Lanni was even more confused. She was no longer a fiancée and was a cousin now? 

Seeing Lanni's expression, Yun Xiaoshi looked at her pitifully. "Cousin-in-law, I was fooling around just now. Please don't be mad at cousin, okay?" 

Having finally comprehended this bizarre situation, Lanni was helpless against the girl's pitiful face. "Alright, I won't be angry." As long as no one joked about being Xiehan's fiancée again. She was still feeling the chills from how the shock Xiaoshi had given her. 

Xiehan held Lanni's waist, ignoring his naughty cousin. "Let's go, my love. We can ditch her—she knows her way back to the Ji Mansion after all." 

Lanni chuckled at how sad the girl looked when Xiehan mentioned ditching her. "You guys must be tired from the flight. How about having lunch at my place? We can drop her off at the Jiang Mansion later." 

Before Xiehan could respond, the girl jubilantly hopped to Lanni's side. "Cousin-in-law is the best! Unlike a certain boring man." 

"Hey! Since when was I boring?" Xiehan glared at her. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-fianc%C3%A9e_50095972507777782">#&apos;s-fianc%C3%A9e_50095972507777782</a> for visiting.

… 

On that weird note, the three made their way to Lanni's car. 

As she drove off, she couldn't help sneaking a glance at the girl in the backseat. They were about the same age, and she looked cheerful and easy to please. Besides, the more she looked at her, the more Lanni thought the girl looked a lot like Ruby. 

From their banters, Lanni could tell that they were much closer to each other than most siblings. They must have grown up together since she was his aunt's daughter… which made Lanni's eyebrows raise at a certain thought. 

What if this was the reason why Xiehan had seemed to care for Ruby? Could it be because she looked so much like his cousin that he also thought of her as a relative? 

Now that she thought about it, those few times that Xiehan interacted with Ruby, he had never gazed at her like a man would look at a woman he was attracted to. Even so, she still wouldn't be comfortable if her man got too close to a woman who was not related to him. Luckily Xiehan understood this and kept his distance from Ruby.

When they finally arrived at Lanni's apartment, Xiehan and Xiaoshi made themselves comfortable and Lanni served them drinks. 

After chatting randomly for a bit, Lanni finally voiced her curiosity. "I thought Aunt Meiling didn't have kids?" Wasn't it one of the reasons why she took in Xiehan in the first place? 

"She does. Xiaoshi is always travelling around the world so aunt rarely talks about her." Xiehan explained. "This time, we happened to bump into each other in the UK and that gave her the perfect idea of where next to travel for fun." 

Lanni chuckled at the young lady's preference. Luckily, she seemed to be quite honest and kind—they would get along well. Compared to the scheming Ji Feifei, Xiaoshi was a much better sister for Xiehan and, who knows, perhaps they could be friends as well. 

Xiaoshi's phone rang as they spoke. 

"I need to take this, please excuse me." She said and picked up the call. 

"What do you mean it's booked out? What a bummer… then help me check out The Emerald Grand Hotel." She responded to whatever the other party had said. 

When she hung up, Lanni looked at her curiously. "Pardon my curiosity. Are you trying to book a hotel room?" 

"Yes." Xiaoshi kept back her phone with a sigh. "I didn't make adequate preparations before deciding to come." 

"Why do you need to book a hotel room?" Xiehan asked. 

"Yeah, you don't need to. There are extra rooms here, you can stay over." Lanni seconded cheerfully. 

"Really? I can?" Xiaoshi was surprised, while Xiehan's expression darkened. 

That wasn't what he meant, okay? He meant she could go over to the Ji Mansion!
