The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

He initially didn't intend to do this, but Li Lanni was just too interesting.

There were too many things to be curious about regarding that girl. He knew that it was wrong to secretly investigate someone, but if that person was your future wife, it was slightly justified, wasn't it?

"Boss, I think miss Lanni will be displeased if she finds out that you have investigated her." Qiao Luna's palms sweat as she tried to talk him out of it. She was a woman, of course she would understand women's emotions the most.

However, her boss was adamant. "Out of sight, out of mind."

Qiao Luna was helpless. Fine, go ahead. Offend the woman you love in a snap. Don't come back crying and asking for ways to pacify her.

Ji Xiehan opened the first page of his thick file. It was a medical record.

"Brain injury.... vegetative state... temporary amnesia..."

He loosened his tie, smirking. "Heh... interesting."

Qiao Luna widened her eyes. He found a woman's accident interesting?

"So she has amnesia. No wonder she doesn't remember that we have met before. She even calls me a pervert."

But wait... something didn't feel right.

Was her condition recurring?

The date on the report of her amnesia was dated almost three months ago. How could it be that she forgot something that happened between then and now?

Also, some of the content didn't add up.

She had gone to the same hospital again. He knew it because he had seen her in her mother's company.

Why was this not recorded here?

Unless on that day, they were going to visit someone?

That wouldn't make sense. Li Yuming had always lived her life like a living island. She had very few friends and none of them lived nearby.

In fact, she almost didn't interact with anyone. From what he knew, the Ji family should be one of the few families she was close to.

Speaking of which, why was it that he had never met Li Lanni in the past?

She was Ji Feifei's friend as well as Li Yuming's daughter.

There should have been very many opportunities for them to meet.

Was it because he was too busy to pay attention to the people around him in the past?

If only he had met his little beauty before....

Wait! No distractions. He had something more important to think about.

The missing medical record may seem unimportant, but it may also hold very important information. He should find it.

He stood up, grabbing his coat from the back of his seat. "Qiao Luna, I'm leaving. Cancel all my appointments for the next three hours. If there is anything that needs my urgent attention, give me a call."

...

Li Lanni went to school right after she had spoken to Jin Shanshan. Luckily, she didn't have any class to attend in the afternoon or she would be late.

Neither did Cheng Yu, who was waiting for her anxiously.

She smiled as soon as she saw Li Lanni and rushed towards her. "Lanni, you're back."

"Yeah, and I have good news."

"Really, really? Please tell me you gave up on these absurd missions?"

Li Lanni rolled her eyes. "How is that good news? Forget about it. I brought you lunch."

She took out a food flask from the bag she had brought with her from the restaurant opposite B City University.

In these few days, she had realized that Cheng Yu didn't really like eating lunch. She would skip it unless someone invited her to eat together. Of course, it was not because she wanted to freeload on other people. She simply hated eating on her own.

She was pleasantly stunned when she saw the food box. "This is for me?"

"Uh huh. You should eat it before it gets cold. It will not be as tasty."

Cheng Yu's eyes were literally filled with stars. I knew it! Lanni cares about me the most.

She gobbled up the food like a glutton, making Li Lanni hold her tummy and laugh. "Eat slowly. Don't choke; no one's snatching it away from you."

Cheng Yu slowed down. No one is snatching it away, you say? Then why do I feel as though someone is watching me and glaring at me with burning eyes of jealousy because you brought me lunch?

Of course, she didn't voice this opinion because her mouth was busy.

"Ah. That was the best lunch I've eaten all year. So what's the good news?"

"Pfft. How cute." Li Lanni tittered.

"I spoke to Jin Shanshan, and she agreed to help."

Because they were in the school park, she didn't explain the situation in complete sentences. Walls had ears and so did hedges.

Cheng Yu understood the situation without needing a vivid explanation. It seemed like Jin Shanshan had agreed to testify against Professor Marcus.

Although she didn't truly think what Li Lanni was doing was rational, she supported it. If that lecher was fired or even arrested, it would be for the good of everyone.

If they had witnesses, it would be much easier to deal with him since this was a school.

....

Everything was going on well until the evening of the following day.
