The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper
Chapter 395 - Cupid
When Ji Feifei was called out to meet her visitor by the prison warden, she didn't look in the slightest bit surprised. When she saw that it was Lanni, a glint flickered in her eyes but she didn't look surprised by this either.
Without waiting for her to speak, Lanni stood up and hugged the other party emotionally. "Feifei, I missed you!"
Ji Feifei was startled, then she tried to pull away from Lanni's arms. The latter quickly used this chance to tangle her bracelet in Ji Feifei's hair. Thanks to the struggle, Ji Feifei managed to pull away after a short while, leaving behind a few strands of her hair in the process.
Lanni was relieved when she saw the few black strands. She had been afraid that the bracelet was too smooth and would simply slide through.
She sat down like nothing had happened, after secretly securing Ji Feifei's hair. "How have you been?"
"You bitch!" Ji Feifei was so angry that she cursed on the spot. She almost went mad with rage from this woman's theatrics.
Lanni smiled indifferently. "Sorry I asked. You're definitely not doing well." After all, her hair was so weak that it could be plucked with a slight tug.
"You must be happy to see me here, aren't you?" Ji Feifei snarled.
Lanni scoffed and shook her head. "Don't tell me it's worth noting that I managed to swat a fly?" She then took a glance at the time on her watch. "Ah look at the time. I have things to do so…"
Standing up, she took out wet tissue from her small purse and wiped her hands, then dumped it in the trash can with a disgusted expression. "Enjoy your time, Miss Ji."
The last two words were said with so much sarcasm that Ji Feifei gritted her teeth. Li Lanni, how dare you!
Once she left this place, she would skin that woman alive.
…
"That was cool." Ruby commented when Lanni returned. "Ji Feifei views herself as a goddess that should practically be worshipped. By wiping your hands after hugging her, you humiliated her so much that she will remember you for the rest of her life.
Lanni was calm contrary to Ruby's look of admiration. "Let's go."
"Are you going to let Doctor Han test her sample as well?" Ruby did not understand. Wasn't it the same whether she or Ji Feifei took the test? Since Wen Lin only had one daughter, if one was real then the other was evidently fake.
Lanni had something else in mind. "I will take it to the same hospital where the first test was done."
"Okay…" Ruby could not fathom her thoughts.
Lanni smiled as she started the car. "This is the only way to find out whether what happened last time was a mistake, or whether the test results were deliberately tampered with."
"What would you do…if they were deliberately tampered with?" She asked curiously.
Lanni's expression did not change but her eyes held a venomous glint. "If someone tried to deceive my man… Of Course, they have to pay for it."
Ruby smiled gently. She really cared for Xiehan…

At the same time, Moonlight Studios.
Cheng Yu was sitting on needles all morning as she waited for Natalie Han's arrival.
At the conference room, she ordered for drinks to be prepared beforehand and looked through the employment contract.
She then looked at Luna beside her, who was calm as though the guest they were waiting for was a close friend.
"You are so calm!" Cheng Yu exclaimed.
Luna shot her a funny look. "Why wouldn't I be? We have already made perfect arrangements."
Cheng Yu looked through the list of things she had taken care of and frowned. "Is this enough? Are you sure we shouldn't do more…like throw a party for her arrival or something?"
Luna laughed at her friend's anxiety. "Relax. We have done many things to make her stay comfortable. Not only have we prepared an assistant, we are also giving her one of the best offices in the building and it has been decorated specifically for her. If she still doesn't like this and thinks it is too lowly, we can find someone else to fill in the role. Otherwise, if we try too hard to please one person, our company might be taken too lightly."
Cheng Yu couldn't deny this. "I'm impressed that you can even think of this. Is this really your first time managing a business?"
Luna laughed. "Technically, yes. But I used to help my dad once in a while."
Cheng Yu understood. No wonder she had such a great understanding of everything despite not having graduated.
A knock resounded at the door and as expected, Cedric walked in, leading in an elegant woman.
Cheng Yu was the first to react. She jovially greeted the woman and showed her to her seat. "It's nice to finally meet you, Miss Han."
Natalie sat down and extended a hand to greet Luna, then Cheng Yu. "It's nice to meet you too. You must be my new superiors, Miss Cheng and Miss Xia. Cedric told me many things about you."
"Good things, I hope?" Luna chuckled, infected by the woman's smile.
Natalie wore a simple, black skirt suit and had her hair in a Bob-cut. She looked elegant but not arrogant. For a woman of her abilities, she really was down-to-earth and her smile was infectious.
Both Cheng Yu had a good first impression of her, and the opinion was two-way. She felt these two young women were easy to get along with. Besides, she had a great level of admiration for them, based on Cedric's description. He had stated that these two had started the company from scratch and managed to get an investment from Jiang Corporation. Even though Luna was the fiancé of Jiang Corporation's CEO, one could tell that she was capable of handling her own matters without having to rely on her fiancé.
After a short chat, Cheng Yu finally presented the employment contract. She was hesitant. Should there really be a contract when the woman had decided not to receive any income?
Natalie seemed to detect her hesitation, so she took the contract and directly signed it without reading through it.
"Uh… You're not afraid we might sell you off?"
She smiled nonchalantly and leaned in her chair. "While my brother is quite willful at times, his judgement of people isn't bad."
What she meant was, since Cedric trusted them so much that he freely introduced her to them, she was sure that no problems would arise from this agreement.
Cheng Yu and Luna were satisfied. They didn't expect it to be this easy.
Cheng Yu stood up. "Luna can't walk around too much so I'll show you around the building."
Before Natalie could respond, the neglected Cedric finally had something to say. "Me too! I want to be shown around the office building. Why does Natalie get this special treatment when I don't?"
Cheng Yu shot him a fierce glare. "Will you die if you shut up?"
"You only know to shout at me." He grumbled, watching with intense jealousy as his sister effortlessly got what he had to work so hard for. He had to come up with so many schemes just to get to be at her side for two extra minutes, while Natalie merely had to appear and she willingly showed her around? How biased!
"You better not cause trouble." Cheng Yu warned him, then led Natalie away.
"Pfft… How cute." The woman suddenly laughed, then coughed.
"Uhm… What's cute?" Cheng Yu looked at the woman beside her curiously.
Natalie smiled and glanced in the direction of the conference room, where Cedric was standing and watching her enviously. "My little brother had never been an attention-seeker, much less such a jealous one." She smiled dotingly. It appeared that the relationship between her and Cedric was much better than that between Cedric and Han Xiaoli.
In regards to her words, Cheng Yu was rendered speechless. Not an attention-seeker? Not jealous? Was Natalie really talking about Cedric? Heaven knew how much torture she had been through because of that man's pettiness!
Natalie seemed to understand this, and she smiled. "It was only until he met you that he started displaying such characteristics. Not only does he get mad when anyone else gets near you, he wants to cling to your side all day as well. I can tell from one look that you are also the reason why he agreed to come to this company."
" Really? He caused so much trouble with his employment contract that we almost gave up on him." Cheng Yu wanted to roll her eyes.
What Natalie said next baffled her even more. "Of course he would be willful and cause trouble! His aim of coming here was to get your attention but you were not giving him any. He really likes you."
Cheng Yu was speechless.
Did Cedric really recommend his sister to be the marketing director?
Because, she really felt that N atalie was more of a cupid than any department's director.
Without waiting for her to speak, Lanni stood up and hugged the other party emotionally. "Feifei, I missed you!"
Ji Feifei was startled, then she tried to pull away from Lanni's arms. The latter quickly used this chance to tangle her bracelet in Ji Feifei's hair. Thanks to the struggle, Ji Feifei managed to pull away after a short while, leaving behind a few strands of her hair in the process.
