The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Some things are just destined to happen." Luna coaxed, sad about the ending as well. 

"I know… which is why I'm so scared." Xiaoshi looked away sadly. 

"Why are you scared?" Lanni had a feeling that it was not related to the movie, and Luna listened in curiously as well. 

Xiaoshi didn't want to talk about it in the theater full of people, so she waited until most of the people had exited. She then poured her heart out. "Actually, I came back this time because of a man. Don't tell my cousin." She whispered out the last part. 

"Of course we will not." Lanni chuckled. 

"Where is my microphone?" Luna joked, earning glares from both girls. 

When she stopped fooling around and became more serious, Xiaoshi continued, "I have been in love with someone since I was a teenager but when I confessed to him, he said that we were both too young to think about love. Besides, he thought it was a mere puppy love crush that would fade once we grew up. 

Hence, I decided to stay away from him for all these years and now that I'm a grown up woman, he should take me more seriously." She sighed, evidently nervous. "I heard he is in B City so I insisted on coming back with my cousin. Luckily, he doesn't have a girlfriend… I hope he will not reject me again." 

Lanni and Luna were both surprised that she was still in love with her teenage crush. 

"You are so cute, Xiaoshi. No man can reject you." Lanni encouraged her genuinely. 

Luna nodded to second that. "I only knew you three hours ago but I already know that you are a kind and genuine girl. You are so easy to like that no one would be so blind as to not fall in love with you." 

"Really? Thank you so much." Xiaoshi hugged the sisters, seeing as they were encouraging her from the bottom of their hearts and not just saying random things that they didn't mean in order to please her. 

Feeling more confident, she let out a sigh. "You are so kind. My cousin has such a good taste." 

"What's this got to do with XIehan?" Lanni laughed. 

"That's because you are so much better than those fake girls that aunty used to introduce to him. You are friendly and kind and so is your sister. He has gotten himself a perfect girlfriend and family-in-law." 

Luna chuckled. This young woman's focus was quite out of the ordinary. 

Lanni's heart melted from the praise. "You are so kind yourself. In fact, you are a much better sister than Luna." 

"Hey! You mean she is a much better sister than Ji Feifei, right?" Luna asked sternly. 

"Nope, she is better than you. I would swap sisters if it was possible." Lanni harrumphed. 

Luna widened her eyes. "How can you say that? I am the best sister anyone could ever ask for! Not to mention, we are even twins and have the best telepathy." 

Lanni crossed her arms with a strict look. "Then I would rather not have a twin than have to rely on telepathy to find out about my sister's engagement." She glared at Luna's ring finger. 

Luna followed her gaze and smiled in embarrassment. "That… I was going to tell you about it later." 

"Uh huh." Lanni obviously didn't believe her. 

"Come on, don't be mad. Elder sister loves you the most." Luna hugged her arm. 

"I'm your elder sister." Lanni narrowed her eyes.

Luna laughed. "Fine, fine. No one was born earlier so we have to rely on other ways to determine who the elder sister is." 

"In that case, I got a boyfriend first." Lanni bragged. 

In response, Luna crossed her arms. "That doesn't mean you fell in love first. I met the love of my life when you were still bragging about coming of age." 

"Hey!" Lanni complained. 

"I also got engaged first, and I will be a mother first. Do you still want to contest?" Luna challenged. 

"Fine, you win." Lanni grudgingly admitted defeat. Even if Xiehan proposed right now, she would still lose to Luna. 

Luna patted her head playfully. "I love my little sister so much." 

Xiaoshi was still laughing her butt off at the twins' bicker when she heard the part about Luna being engaged and being a mother. She looked at the latter in awe. "You are…" 

"Yes, I'm pregnant." Luna laughed joyfully when the girl couldn't complete her statement. 

"Double Congratulations!" Xiaoshi wished her in excitement. She loved babies and was secretly hoping that Luna would let her hold the baby when it was born. 

"Can I treat you to a meal to congratulate you? I didn't bring any gift with me." 

"Of course. It's the thought that counts." Luna was starting to get hungry since she was avoiding eating junk food, so there was no way she would reject free food. Hence, the girls made their way to a restaurant that Xiaoshi chose after researching on the internet.

Compared to the emotional atmosphere that the girls had, the men were drowning in drinks at the cellar in Xingyu's villa. 

Just when Xiehan and Lin Jian were starting to wonder what was going on with their friend, the latter finally spoke up. "Sigh, I really don't know what to do." 

"What happened?" Lin Jian asked with concern. "Did you do something wrong and upset your little beauty again?" 

When Xingyu shook his head, Xiehan finished his umpteenth drink. "Then why do you look deflated?" 

Xingyu played with his glass, lying his chest on the table like he was at a loss. "Well, here's the thing. I proposed to Luna and she said yes, and now I don't know what to do next. Should I tell our relatives about it, or should I host an engagement party and invite the entire city? I mean, I don't know what kind of engagement party she would like or when she would like us to start planning our wedding… and the fact that we are also soon-to-be parents plays a huge role too…" 

"Geez!" Lin Jian almost chocked on his drink. 

What roundabout way of bragging was this?! "Spare us single souls already!"
