The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Let's take a seat and talk about it." Luna suggested. 

Xiaoshi nodded, so they went over to the resting area. There weren't many people in the children's section of the mall so they were the only ones in the resting area, providing privacy if they needed to talk. 

As soon as Luna sat down, Xiaoshi bit the bullet. "I'm sorry. I…" 

"I'm sorry, I didn't ask for your permission before looking you up…" Luna started at the same time and was surprised by Xiaoshi's words. She raised an eyebrow to probe. When the other shook her head with a relieved look, she found it weird but brushed it off and continued to explain. "I saw that you were coding an application and knew that you are a programmer. When I looked you up, I found that you don't work for any company and merely sell your apps when they are completed." 

"Yes… I only do it for fun and I'm not that good at it." Xiaoshi was surprised that someone even noticed it. 

"What are you saying? You are so talented!" Luna gushed. "Would you be interested in joining my company?" She finally got to the point. Although she guessed that Xiaoshi must have decided to work the way she did because she did not want to be under any company's contract, she didn't want to give up without trying. 

"You see, although my company is a start up, you can be rest assured that I will not let you be at a disadvantage. If you are willing, we can discuss the terms. Uh… why are you looking at me like that?" She noticed that the girl was staring at her. 

"You own Moonlight Studios… you are also the one who created the comic application you recommended to me?" Xiaoshi asked. When Luna nodded, she almost screamed in excitement. "You are so awesome! You made me feel like a clueless rookie… can I get an autograph?" She couldn't believe that while she kept wondering which heavenly programmer had managed to create such an excellent app, the heavenly programmer was right beside her! 

"You exaggerate." Luna chuckled, then looked at her probingly to ask what her decision was. 

Xiaoshi excitedly opened her purse and fished out a pen. "Of course I would be overjoyed to work for my idol! Do you have the contract here with you?" 

Luna was surprised. She had managed to recruit her that easily? She had prepared almost a thousand words for negotiation. Since it made things easier for both of them, she was happy as well. "I will get someone to send the employment contract over." 

She then contacted Cheng Yu and shared their location. 

It was only when they were done talking that Xiaoshi realized that she had been worried over nothing. So Luna had intended to talk about recruiting her all along… it had nothing to do with Xingyu after all. 

In relief, she dragged Luna to shop for baby clothes. This time, she was super excited and helped Luna select cute toys. 

"If you don't know the baby's gender yet, you can buy both… or you can buy unis.e.x clothes." She suggested. 

"Why didn't I think of that? I must be turning into an idiot." Luna slapped her forehead. They both laughed and went ahead to select adorable unis.e.x clothes. 

Within half an hour, Cheng Yu came over. 

"Over here." Luna waved her over, and the latter walked over. 

Handing the contract over to Luna, she smiled and lowered her tone to tease. "It's only been a few days since I last saw you and you are already glowing. Is boss Jiang so aggressive?" 

"Get lost." Luna glared at the pervert then introduced the two of them. 

Xiaoshi quickly signed the contract. "Aren't I the luckiest person on earth? I get to work for a pair of beautiful bosses, and they are both friendly." 

Cheng Yu smiled and shook her hand. "Welcome to Moonlight Studios. We are lucky to have you." 

Luna read through the signed contract and recalled a detail. "I forgot to add a term. Whenever you want to go to Australia to pay a visit to your parents, you can apply for some time off." 

"You are so kind." She had even thought about the fact that her home was so far away. "If you pamper me too much, I might become willful and make you go bankrupt." 

Luna and Cheng Yu laughed. 

"I'll just give my mum a call. Please excuse me." Xiaoshi stood to go make the call. 

As soon as she was out of sight, Cheng Yu's expression turned serious. "What do you think you are doing?" 

"Did I do anything wrong?" Luna shrugged innocently. 

Cheng Yu frowned. "Isn't she that girl you suspected to be in love with Xingyu?" 

Luna nodded. 

Cheng Yu slapped her forehead. "Since that's the case, then why are you getting so close to her? Not only are you letting her accompany you to shop for your and Xingyu's baby, you are also giving her a job? What if she stabs you in the back?" 

"I thought it through." Luna smiled. Although she suspected that Xiaoshi had feelings for Xingyu when she noticed her dejected expression in the Ji Mansion, she couldn't be too sure. Perhaps she was overthinking things. Besides, whether Xiaoshi liked Xingyu or not, she was not doing anything to try and break them apart. 

Not to mention, "I'm not going to miss out on a capable employee simply because I think she likes my fiancé. How many female employees in the company are obsessed with Xingyu?" 

Cheng Yu felt it made sense. There were countless girls who kept swooning over Xingyu every time he visited and even confessing their love to him. Some of them were even so crazy as to threaten to end their lives if he didn't pay them attention, and hated Luna for being rumored to be in a relationship with him. There wasn't much difference if they employed one more fan of Xingyu as long as she stayed in her lane. 

"But what if she causes you trouble?" she asked when she thought about it. 

"Come here." Luna beckoned with her finger. When Cheng Yu leaned over the table, she whispered, "Don't tell anyone, but I don't really trust people from the Ji family." 

Cheng Yu finally understood her ultimate goal and laughed. "You are evil… a good kind of evil." 

Luna didn't trust Xiaoshi too much, especially after witnessing Ji Feifei's and Wen Lin's hatred¹, it was not surprising that she had doubts about Xiaoshi. The latter was friends with Lanni as well. Hence, by bringing Xiaoshi to her side, Luna would be able to uncover any evil intentions if Xiaoshi started scheming—killing two birds with one stone. 

While planning this out, Luna didn't know that one day, Xiaoshi would save her life and she would regret suspecting her. But that's a story for another day. 

___

Tian Yu Media. 

Lanni left her office when Xiehan called to tell her that he had arrived. When she exited the building, the man was leaning against his silver car. In his sapphire blue suit and dark sunglasses, he looked like he had just stepped out of a men's fashion magazine. Several employees snuck peeks at him, some even dashing over to shyly give him their cell phone numbers. 

Lanni chuckled and walked over. "I only took a few minutes but you're about to turn me into every woman's romantic rival?" 

Xiehan grinned. 

When she walked over to him, the ladies around thought that just like them, she had taken a fancy to the handsome man and was going over to strike a conversation. 

They deliberately waited to see the outcome. 

"Isn't that the new chief editor? Do you think he would spare her a glance?" One secretary who had just gotten rejected asked another. 

The other glanced at Lanni. "I don't know… but the new Chief Editor is so beautiful. Surely he will be moved by her." 

As the two girls conversed, Han Lili snorted after appearing out of nowhere. "What makes you think that beauty can guarantee being liked by a man? Besides, what's so beautiful about her face?" She then sauntered away. 

"What's wrong with her?" The short-haired secretary asked her friend. 

"She got ignored so she's taking it out on others. She's crazy." The other laughed, then they both gasped in surprise when Xiehan pulled Lanni into his arms and kissed her. 

"Do you now realize just how attractive your man is? You should spoil me a little more." He teased. 

"How about I beat your face sore? that way, you will no longer be so handsome and they won't want you." She looked like she was serious about it. He laughed and opened the car door for her. 

By this time, all the female employees had their jaws on the floor. It turned out that the handsome man was the Chief Editor's man! 

…

"Can you accompany me somewhere?" Xiehan asked after driving for a while. 

"Where?" She looked at him in surprise. 

"Here." He pulled over, and Lanni was surprised. 

A jewelry store?
