The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Lanni gave Xiehan a call as she exited the Jiang Mansion. 

"Where are you? Are you busy?" She asked when the call connected. 

"I just left my office and I'm heading home now. Shall I pick you up?" He asked.

"No, I drove out. Did you work overtime today?" It was way past working hours, he must have had a lot of work to do. 

"I was waiting for something. Do you want to talk about it tonight or tomorrow?" He asked mysteriously. 

From his tone, she could guess what he was talking about. He must have received the DNA results. She was caught off guard, not having expected it to be so fast. Even so, it was better that they would not need to waste too much time on this matter. 

"I'll go over right now." She said decisively. She would not be able to keep her curiosity in for a whole night. Most importantly, she missed her man too much even though they had only seen each other the day before. 

She arrived at his mansion just as he arrived, and as soon as he got out of the car, she jumped right into his arms. "Did you miss me?" 

He looked down at the girl clinging onto him and looking up cutely, his lips curling into a loving smile. "I miss you as soon as you get out of my sight." He was not exaggerating. 

Contrary to Lin Jian's belief about a couple's love fading after being together for a while, what he felt was the opposite. He and Lanni had been together for almost a year and their feelings only grew deeper each day. 

He carried her by the waist and walked towards the bedroom, as the butler brought in his things. He placed her on the bed and kissed her lips as he shrugged his coat off. 

She helped him take it off and asked curiously, "Did you get the DNA results?" 

"Mmh." He trailed his lips down her neck. 

"Did you check the content?" She asked, out of breath. 

"No." 

"Do you want to…" 

"Later." He interrupted with one word before pinning her hands above her head. He then proceeded to use his teeth to slide off the straps of her dress from her shoulders. His moves were torturously slow… 

Lanni couldn't believe that after all the plans she made for an entire evening to seduce him, paired with all the preparations she had made including buying a set of lingerie, she was the one who had been seduced out of her senses.

After intense lovemaking, they took a shower and changed into pajamas. Xiehan's was royal blue with a white button strip, while Lanni's was a pink nightgown with a hem identical to Xiehan's button strip and an overcoat of a soft lace material of the same color as Xiehan's pajamas. 

She looked at them with a smile. "Couples pajamas?" 

"Do you like it?" He couldn't help admiring how cute she looked in the pink and blue combination. 

She snuggled into his arms. "They're adorable." 

After embracing for a while, he finally brought out the briefcase with the DNA report. 

He took out the doc.u.ment and his hands trembled slightly. After a few seconds, he passed the doc.u.ment to her instead. 

"Love, are you nervous?" She wanted to tease him but this was not the right time, so she opened the folder carefully and read through the doc.u.ment. 

When she reached the conclusion, her lips twitched as she glanced at Xiehan. 

Based on her reaction, he could pretty much guess the result. He still took it to confirm and his eyes narrowed at the 0% compatibility. "She is not my sister." 

She was about something when she realized how odd his tone sounded. "You…hoped for her to be your sister?" Otherwise, why would he sound disappointed? 

He shook his head. "Not particularly. Still, I had almost believed that she is my sister based on her similarities with my family members. She looks so much like my aunt, Xiaoshi, and my paternal grandmother. There are some aspects of her I think resemble my mother's too." 

She could comprehend his confusion. Even if one were to find an impostor and send them to the Ji family, it was almost impossible to find one that resembled both parents. 

"Let's confront her tomorrow. There may be another side to this."

The next day, Lanni invited Ruby for dinner at her place. 

The latter was pleasantly surprised by the invite, but she found it strange that it was just the two of them. 

She took a sip of the juice that Lanni had served her and looked around. "It's just us?"

She had just finished her question when the front door opened and Xiehan walked in.

She smiled happily. So it was a dinner with all the friends together. Did this mean they were starting to accept her into their circle? 

Lanni leaned back in her chair as Xiehan sat beside her. "Ruby, I guess you must have figured out why you are here." 

Ruby was confused. "What do you mean?" 

"Why would you lie to us? You told such an outrageous lie!" Lanni didn't beat around the bush and slapped the doc.u.ment onto the table. 

Ruby picked it up hesitantly, more or less guessing what it was. Sure enough, it was a DNA test report… and the result was that she and Xiehan were not biologically related! 

Her eyes widened and she almost didn't know how to speak up. "This… this can't be! We really are siblings!" 

Xiehan finally spoke up coldly. "Then, explain why the compatibility is 0%." 

Ruby was confused too. "This, I don't know. But I'm telling you the truth. After my dad told me about my past, I didn't truly believe it so I got close to Ji Feifei and stole your parents' DNA samples when I went to your house. I did the test and had 99.99% compatibility with both of them."

Xiehan studied her expression and she really was surprised. The shock was not fake. Then, what was up with the different results? Could they have been faked? 

Apparently, Ruby was thinking about this too. "The chances of anyone faking the results is too low. The only people I told were the two of you, after all." 

"What are you implying?" Lanni questioned. 

"It could be a mistake made by the hospital. Perhaps they accidentally messed up the samples?" She suggested, then sighed at the only other possibility. "If someone else found out and deliberately switched the results, it could be fatal. It would only mean that the masterminds know that I told you the truth, and it might put everyone in danger." 

Xiehan looked at her seriously. "Are you telling the truth?" 

"Yes." She didn't flinch. 

He scanned her and dropped a serious question. "Then do you dare to take the test again?" 

Ruby nodded in affirmation but said, "But what if it is switched again?" 

"I will take it to a more reputable hospital." He declared. 

Initially, he didn't want to bother his doctor friends but now it seemed like he didn't have much choice. Even if there was bribery or threats involved, he knew that his friends would never fake the results. 

" Actually, Xichen minored in genetics." He recalled. 

"Xichen?" Lanni found this name familiar. 

"Han Xichen. That busybody doctor who hypnotised you before." He explained. 

"Oh, I remember him now and yes, he can be trusted." She suddenly lowered her voice. "I know a way to determine whether the results were switched on purpose." 

"What way?" Xiehan asked. Ruby remained silent since she knew that the suspicion around her was yet to be cleared. 

Lanni whispered something into Xiehan's ear, and his gaze darkened. 

"Who is going to do that? Don't even think about going to such a place on your own." He warned strictly. 

"I can go with Ruby and Cheng Yu. Luna is pregnant so we can't bring her along." she looked forward to it. 

"Go where?" Ruby asked when she was mentioned. 

"To the prison." Lanni's eyes lit up excitedly. 

Ruby frowned. "Are you planning to conduct another test between Ji Feifei and the Ji family? But she can simply have whoever is supporting her fake the results, right?" 

Lanni shrugged. "What can a criminal do while behind bars? I don't believe there is anyone supporting her or they would have helped her escape from prison ages ago. They may have given up on her when she messed herself up."

"You have a point…"Ruby thought about it. "When do you want to go?" 

"Tomorrow!" Lanni almost couldn't keep still. 

Xiehan massaged his temples. "There are other ways but you just had to choose this. Are you sure you're not just seeking an excuse to poke fun at Ji Feifei?" 

"Of course not." She laughed guiltily. 

"It's not that you can't, but you have to be careful." He compromised, knowing that the little thing would bug him to death if he didn't let her go. 

Ruby smiled confidently. She would strip that woman of the identity she stole from her. She was rejuvenated thinking of the fact that she had gained half of their trust. "Let's go tomorrow then. We can get our samples taken in the morning then head over to the prison later."
