The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

On the bed, Cedric was watching her with an amused expression. Was she that scared of sharing a bed with him? Then, if she knew that it would not be the first time that they slept on the same bed, wouldn't she beat him to death? Since he still wanted to stay alive, he didn't mention it. 

"Aren't you going to sleep yet? it's not good for a girl to stay up too late." He asked with concern. 

"I will soon. Go to sleep first." She yawned. 

Understanding that she was still uncomfortable around him, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes. Even then, he was worried that she would force herself to stay up all night and didn't drift into sleep. If she still didn't go to sleep after a few minutes, he would use the excuse of being sleepless and wanting to watch a movie to go to the living room. 

In the end, he was too worried for nothing. Soon after he closed his eyes, he heard the soft patter of her footsteps against the fluffy carpet. She closed in on him and he felt her gaze on his face. Then, she poked him carefully. He didn't know what she was up to but he didn't react and continued feigning sleep. 

After poking him a few times for confirmation, she carefully circled to the other side and climbed onto the bed. Since she was already so sleepy that she could barely keep her head steady, she fell into a deep slumber as soon as her head hit the pillow. 

… 

The following day. 

In the afternoon, Xiehan was informed that it was safe to travel back to B City. 

"Aw what a bummer. I wanted to continue enjoying the inevitable vacation." Lanni was the first to complain. 

Xiehan chuckled at his girlfriend's antics and rubbed her head. "That's okay. We can go on many vacations when we are not busy." 

"Mmh." She nodded. In reality, she wanted to go back to B City as soon as possible so her work would not delay anymore. Her career was still in the rising phase after all. It was just inevitable that she would feel lazy once in a while. 

Luna was relieved when she heard the news and went to pack hers and Xingyu's luggage." 

"What are you doing? Aren't you going to pack?" Cedric leaned over Cheng Yu's shoulder in interest. He was especially jovial today, which was perfectly normal considering the fact that they had spent the night peacefully last night. When he woke up, he had found her leg sprawled carelessly across his lower body while her hand lay on his chest. 

Even though he knew that it was just her poor sleeping habits and had nothing to do with her personal interest, he was still so tensed up that he blushed fiercely just thinking about it. 

She was not fazed by his presence behind her and casually said, "I'm booking my flight ticket." 

He frowned in displeasure. "You don't have to…" 

She turned and shot him a look. "I don't want to fight with you about this." 

He nodded in agreement. "I don't want to fight about it either. Why don't we save ourselves and each other the trouble? Let's skip the part where I chew your plane ticket or 'accidentally' spill water on it and fast-forward to when we go to B City together." 

Cheng Yu was speechless. 

"I won't bother you. I promise to be good. Pretty please…" He looked at her pleadiingly with those beautiful, bright eyes, making her heart melt into a puddle. 

"You have to stop doing that!" She berated as her cheeks flushed. She already couldn't stand it when he acted flirtatious. When he acted cute, it was a whole other level. She could end up saying yes to his every request without thinking through it. 

Which made her wonder, since when did she like guys who could be considered as cute? She thought she liked the mature type. Perhaps it was because he could be mature when he needed to be and irresistibly cute the next moment? Her poor heart! 

Seeing her fan girl expression, Cedric smiled happily. "I'll take that as a yes." 

At the side, Lin Jian had a pensive expression. "Are we seriously going to the same city on four different planes?" 

When no one paid him any attention, he clammed his mouth shut and went to pack his luggage as well. 

When he was done, he returned to the living room to find that everyone else was ready to leave. Ruby was tapping something on her phone furiously. He went over to take a look. "Is something wrong?" 

She looked frustrated. "Lu Meili's latest movie is screening tonight. I can't get a ticket from the official site and it will be too late if I wait to get to B City first." 

Lin Jian was taken aback. "You like Lu Meili too?" 

Ruby nodded before realising that they had something in common. "Wait. You like Lu Meili?" 

"Of course!" was excited. "She is too beautiful for anyone to not know her. Not to mention, she has been an actress since she was a child. We were probably still playing with mud when she received her first award as the best child female lead. Back then, Xiehan, Xingyu and I would sneak out to watch her shows. She was our goddess!" When he finished blabbering about Lu Meili's beauty and talent, he realized that the room was engulfed in an unnatural hush. 

Lanni glared at Xiehan beside her. 

He quickly defended himself. "You are my only goddess, my love." 

Almost at the same instant, Xingyu waved his hands at Luna who was glaring at him, defending himself vehemently. "Honey, you know that I idolize no woman but you! Lin Jian is lying. He is the only one who was smitten by that actress. He even followed her to the US and proposed to her on her eighteenth birthday!" 

Luna burst out laughing. "Of course, I know you only love me." 

At the side, Cedric and Cheng Yu laughed at how strong these two men's desire to survive was. It was only then that Lin Jian realized the grave he had dug for himself. 

Not only did he know Lu Meili's birthday, he had even proposed to her after following her all the way to the US! Could he still redeem himself? 

Damn you Jiang Xingyu! Are we still friends? 

He had totally pushed him under the bus! 

Seeing Ruby's raised eyebrow as she looked at him like he had yet again proven himself as a jerk, he looked towards Xiehan urgently. 

Xiehan was too busy laughing at him but when he received his gaze, he didn't heartlessly push him under the bus. "At the time, we made a bet and decided that the loser would propose to the most popular female star. Jian lost and had to propose to Lu Meili since she was the most popular female star at the time." 

Ruby seemed convinced by this answer and Lin Jian sighed in relief. 

However, Cheng Yu just had to mess with him. "What did Lu Meili say?" 

Lin Jian really wanted to die. "Don't ask me anymore, okay? I was just a silly young man myself at the time." 

Sigh, this was too scary! Being a playboy did have its payback. 

After making enough fun of Lin Jian, Lanni pulled Ruby aside to speak to her. "I was anticipating Lu Meili's movie too. Coincidentally, I have three tickets for tomorrow." 

"You do?" Ruby was surprised for a moment, then filled in the gaps. If she had three tickets, wasn't that enough for her to go and watch the movie with Luna and Cheng Yu? 

Lanni could pretty much guess what she was thinking and laughed. "I was planning to watch it with Xiaoshi and Luna so I bought three. However, Luna had already bought two so she could watch it with Xiao Yu, so we ended up with five." 

Ruby was excited but still asked carefully, "You don't mind if I join you?" 

"Of course not! Then it's decided. Tomorrow night, be there or be square." Lanni chirped. 

The latter smiled and thanked her. She knew that it was not completely impossible to get tickets no matter how popular the movie was, but she thought it was better to go with Lanni's group than watch it on her own. 

However, as she turned, she caught sight of Luna briefly giving a thumbs up to Lanni. 

She suddenly understood the situation. So the sisters were planning to use this chance to observe her. Her hands slowly balled into fists. Just when she thought that they were starting to trust her…
