The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

The following day. 

After settling her work, Lanni finally had time to watch the planned movie with the girls. Since her office building wasn't that far from her apartment, she took a quick shower and changed into casual clothes before going over. 

The girls had already arrived and were waiting for her outside. Cheng Yu hugged a bunch of snacks alongside a bucket of popcorn and cola, making one wonder whether she was going to watch or eat. 

As Lanni approached, she waved her over excitedly. "Lanni!" 

Lanni sauntered over and was about to hug them when Xiaoshi dragged her to the side. "You didn't tell me Luna was coming." 

Lanni felt awkward. "If you are uncomfortable, you can sit beside me. We will be watching the whole time anyway."

In the end, Xiaoshi decided to ignore her awkwardness. She had been unable to face Luna ever since she realized that the man she liked was her fiancé. However, how long could she continue to hide? Luna was her superior now, and bumping into each other was inevitable. Not to mention, her cousin-in-law was Luna's sister. Even if she hid now, she could not hide forever. 

She confidently clung her arm around Lanni's and led the way. Ruby, Cheng Yu and Luna followed suit. They had managed to contact the management so their seats were placed on the same row. Because Cheng Yu was right behind Luna, they sat next to each other. Xiaoshi naturally sat next to Lanni who she was closest to. Unknowingly, Ruby had thought of the same thing so Lanni was sandwiched between them… and Xiaoshi realized that the person next to her on her left was Luna. 

She gave a gentle smile. "Boss." 

Luna laughed at her antics. "I already told you, you don't need to be so formal. Just call me Luna when we're not at work." 

The movie was yet to start and she didn't want the atmosphere to be eerily silent, so she casually asked, "How are you?" 

While she asked, her gaze was directed at Luna's slightly bulging belly. 

Luna rubbed her stomach with a gentle smile. "We are fine. The little thing gets a little naughty sometimes but it's still alright." 

Oddly, she realized that unlike just a few days ago, she didn't feel hurt when Luna talked about the baby. She genuinely felt happy for her. Not that she had ever harbored any ill intentions towards Luna, but the realization that she wasn't jealous was baffling. It seemed like… that psychologost's method had really worked. Just a few days and there was such significant progress? 

"How have you been? Are you getting along with your colleagues?" Luna's question pulled her out of her thoughts. 

She nodded. "Work is perfect and my workmates are friendly. I get a lot of inspiration from them." 

Luna was relieved. This was Xiehan's cousin after all, so she hoped for the best for her. "What about… Outside work?" 

"My parents are coming to visit. And I got a boyfriend." She blurted out before she could stop herself. Crap. That was a lie. 

"You did?" Luna was surprised, and so were the three secret eavesdroppers at the side. 

She could only nod and hope they didn't ask for too many details. Luckily, the lights dimmed and the movie started screening. By the time the movie ended, she would have thought of a perfect lie in case they asked again.

… 

When the movie ended, Xiaoshi received a phone call so everyone forgot to ask about her new boyfriend. 

Cheng Yu was just about to sigh in relief about evading questions when Lanni placed a hand on her shoulder and teased. "How is Cedric?" 

"Same as usual. So stubborn I want to lock him up." She answered half-heartedly. 

Luna chuckled and winked suggestively. "It's a good idea, actually. Lock him up in bed and do all sorts of things to him!" 

"What? You…" Cheng Yu's face flushed crimson. 

"You can buy s.e.xy lingerie and perform a strip tease." Lanni added, lowering her voice. 

Ruby lowered her voice a little and added, "I know a newly opened lingerie store. Although it is not a renown brand, their products are amazing!" 

"How would you know? I thought you don't have a boyfriend, why do you need lingerie?" Cheng Yu tried to change the topic by questioning Ruby. 

The latter shrugged. "Can't I buy them for practise? And don't try to change the topic." 

"Let's discuss this at a more suitable place." Luna suggested seriously. 

In the end, all five of them went to Lanni's apartment which was the closest. 

After ensuring that they had the desired privacy, they earnestly started teaching Cheng Yu how to seduce Cedric. 

"Are you girls being serious? Cedric and I…" 

"Obviously like each other. And that's enough to get things rolling." Lanni interrupted her friend and whipped out her phone. "If you are too shy, you can just buy them online. They have all sizes." 

"With your skin tone, red would look perfect on you." Ruby observed seriously, her chin rested in her hand. 

"What? Red is a little…" She blushed just thinking of it. 

"Pink can do too." Lanni tried to imagine her friend in pink.

"Mmh.." Luna observed Cheng Yu seriously as well. "I think a deeper shade of pink will do. Like hot pink. You don't need to go for complicated-looking lingerie since it's the first time." 

Ruby found a pink piece on her phone and handed it over excitedly. "Got it! This would look gorgeous. With your b.o.o.b.s…" 

"You perverts!" Cheng Yu was sure that her face resembled a tomato right now. 

At the side, Xiaoshi coughed at these girls' earnest effort to get their friend laid. She knew almost nothing regarding men and s.e.x, so she quietly listened. 

"We can get your hair done tomorrow. Lanni will help you with makeup, then you can call Cedric out for a dinner date." Luna said, more excited than when she was planning her own date. 

"Actually, cooking is better. Just drag the guy to your house and cook. When both of you are done eating, life him into your bedroom and lock him up. I'm sure he will be thrilled to have you tie him onto the bed." Lanni said exaggeratively.

Xiaoshi was holding her stomach from laughing too much. "If you are afraid about him mistaking your relationship, you can confess to him first and become his girlfriend, then tease him later." 

"Actually, that makes more sense." Lanni nodded in agreement, and so did Luna and Ruby. 

In the end, they bought several sets of lingerie for Cheng Yu, as well as a new fiery red dress and diamond heels. They then helped her plan her dinner date scheduled for two nights later. 

After hearing all the encouragement from her friends, Cheng Yu was excited. She was no longer afraid of Cedric's family opposing their relationship. He had told her about his past and from that, she concluded that they wouldn't have the time to meddle in their son's private life. 

Hence, she happily placed the order for the items they had selected. 

"I suddenly have the urge to tease Xingyu." Luna chuckled mischievously. 

"Did you peek into my mind and learn that I'm thinking of teasing Xiehan tonight?" 

"You don't say! I will select my lingerie then." Luna unhappily shoved her phone aside. "They cannot deliver them today. Who wants to go shopping?" 

"Count me in." Ruby was the most excited, despite her single status. She coughed when she realized that she didn't have any use for it. In the next moment, she shrugged. She could wear it the next time she met Lin Jian. That playboy would definitely want to take things further soon. 

Xiashi grabbed her purse. "I'm going too. I can learn a thing or two." 

"We better accompany Mrs. Jiang and take good care of her." Cheng Yu stated as an excuse and stood up, but soon realized what her words had indirectly implied. 

She wanted to bite her tongue off when she noticed Xiaoshi's frozen smile. She didn't mean it that way! Not explaining would make the atmosphere tense and explaining would only confirm what Xiaoshi had thought she meant. Gosh! 

Lanni cleared her throat. "With four bodyguards/fairy godfriends, Luna will definitely charm the socks off Mr. Jiang tonight." 

The atmosphere was a little less awkward so they made their way to the store. 

The most active duo was undoubtedly Lanni and Luna. 

"That's my design!" 

"I chose it first." 

"No, I chose it first." 

"Fine, let's take one each but in different colors." 

"Okay!" 

… 

"Didn't we agree on different colors?! You copied me!" Came the battle again. 

"No, you copied me. I chose red first." 

At the side, Xiaoshi raised her eyebrows at the battling sisters and glanced at Cheng Yu beside her. "Why are they fighting?" 

Cheng Yu facepalmed and shook her head. Could those two be any less childish? "It's not like their boyfriends will know it if they are wearing the same lingerie."
