The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

The following day, Moonlight Studios. 

Xioshi was on her way to the CEO's office when she ran into Cheng Yu. 

"Are you going to Luna's office too?" Cheng Yu asked her. 

"Yes." Grabbing this heavenly sent chance, she stuffed a flash drive into Cheng Yu's hands. "The prototype is complete. Please help me give it to her, thank you!" 

Before Cheng Yu could say a word, the latter had fled back into the elevator. She laughed at the girl's theatrics, though she couldn't blame her. Although they had not deliberately done anything to hurt each other, it was almost impossible for love rivals to get along. In fact, Xiaoshi's relationship with Luna was the most difficult to deal with, since they would cross paths whether they liked it or not. Knowing that a war might break out between them at any second, Cheng Yu felt as though this was a ticking time bomb. 

She was just about to take a detour to Luna's office when someone came running after her. It was Cedric, and he myst have rushed over since he was out of breath. 

"Yu, there is a glitch in the system." He reported anxiously. 

"What?" Cheng Yu had thought that Cedric was seeking her for a personal matter so she was stunned for a second matter. 

"I suddenly cannot access any page on the app. It's all blank." He showed his phone to Cheng Yu. 

She took it and compared it to her own app, then frowned. "Did you report it to the technical department?" 

The young man nodded. "I did, but no one responded. I thought I should tell you because it would be tragic if too many users experienced this, especially new users." 

Cheng Yu had to admit that he made a lot of sense. The application was still fairly new. If it stared breaking down so soon, it might affect the ratings. Hence, the sooner it was dealt with, the less damage there would be. "I'll tell Luna." 

As soon as she spoke, she rushed to Luna's office. The latter was stretching her long fingers and when Cheng Yu walked in, she looked over with a raised eyebrow. 

"There is a…" Cheng Yu was in the middle of explaining when she suddenly paused, shocked at the twist. The application was working as usual. 

Guessing the reason for her anxiety, Luna explained, "I just dealt with it." 

"Oh." How fast. As expected of Luna. 

She gave her the USB flash drive she had been given by Xiaoshi as she asked, "Did Lanni send the venue for tonight's interview?" 

"TY Center, the interview starts at 8pm. Are you coming?" 

As a Co-founder of Moonlight studios, it was only natural for Cheng Yu to receive an invite to the interview too. However, she was not sure whether she wanted to go. 

After thinking about it, she shrugged. "Why not? I was afraid that my parents would bother me if they know about my involment with you and Xingyu. But now that I think about it, why should I care? I will shoo them off if they attempt anything they shouldn't. I cannot hide my potential forever just because of them." 

"That's a strong girl." Luna was happy that Cheng Yu was slowly peeling herself out of the cocoon in which she had been fearfully hiding. "Xingyu will pick us up in the evening." After discussing the details and a few other things, Cheng Yu left the CEO's office, only to find that Cedric was waiting for her outside. 

"Is something wrong?" She asked. 

Cedric didn't know how to describe his sentiments. Although he was a bit older than his girlfriend, she was so serious when she switched into 'boss' mode that he almost felt inferior to her. 

"Can we have dinner together this evening?" He went straight to the point, knowing that she wanted to return to work. 

"I have an interview at 8pm." She responded apologetically. 

"Oh… Then can I drop you off at the venue?" 

She couldn't possibly say no this. Unlike other girlfriends, she spent so much time working that she almost didn't have time for her boyfriend. Since this was the only way they could spend a few extra minutes together, she nodded. "Pick me up at 7pm." 

… 

In the end, they arrived at TY Center in pairs. They were shown to the waiting lounge, where Cedric would sit and wait for her interview to complete. Although he could not be beside her during the interview, there was a large, high density screen on the wall in front of him, so he would be able to watch a life broadcast of the interview. 

They had arrived just a few minutes before the interview was set to begin so they were immediately shown to the studio. 

The host, a man who looked to be in his mid thirties, handed a sheet of paper to them. "The interview will border around these topics. If there is any of them you are uncomfortable with, let me know so I can eliminate it." 

They skimmed through them then Xingyu said, "They are alright." They were all business-related topics so there was nothing wrong with them. 

However, none of them knew that the host had no intention to use any of those topics. 

He was merely asking as a formality. He showed them to their seats and prepared to start. 

Helping Luna onto the red, velvet couch, Xingyu took a second glance at the host. He had a bad feeling about the man's attitude. 

However, knowing that there wasn't anything a host could do in front of the live cameras, he withdrew his gaze and sat down. 

Soon, the live interview started. 

The first few questions were meant to warm up the atmosphere so the host kept it light. 

He looked at Cheng Yu and Luna who were sitting opposite each other and asked gushingly, "I heard the two of you are still very young. How old are you?" 

"I'll be 21 in two months, Luna is 20." Cheng Yu responded. 

"You are very talented despite your young age. Girls like you should be the pride of society! When I was your age, I was still playing around and wasting my days away." The host laughed, then questioned, "I wonder if the two of you are still students? Which university are you studying at?" 

Luna nodded at Cheng Yu to go first, so she answered, "I just finished my comic arts course at Star Art International." 

Luna added humorously, "I dropped out of college." There was no point hiding it since it could be dug out anyway. 

Although it was true, her tone made it sound like she was telling a joke. Not only the host, even Cheng Yu, Xingyu and the live audience found her response comical. 

The host stopped laughing and focused his gaze on Luna. "Despite being a college drop-out, you managed to create a company from scratch? You must be a genius." 

Luna had a bad feeling about his answer. Why did it sound like he was being sacrastic? 

She was yet to conclude her thought when the man suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, why did a start-up company get an investment from Jiang Corporation? Mr. Jiang, could you tell us why?" 

Everyone was curious about it, so Xingyu answered, "I went through the company details and found that it was worthy of an investment. No businessman would let go of an opportunity to earn profit in future, after all. Of course, the main point is to support my fiancée." 

When he heard Xingyu's main point, the host was no longer able to pin 'relying on a rich man' on Luna. Hence, he changed his tactics. "As a good fiancé, that's a sane thing to do. Though everyone is curious. Why would you help Miss Cheng get into Star Art International? Also, why did you make her your partner in this startup as well? Is it because she is Miss Xia's friend, or are there other reasons?" 

Xingyu frowned at the dumb question. While he sounded curious, he was indirectly asking whether Xingyu had an intimate relationship with Cheng Yu! 

He tried not to lose his temper and laughed it off. "Miss Cheng is an excellent artist. She doesn't need any help getting into whichever art institution she wants. For the second question, haven't you already given an answer to that?" 

The man could not refute his words. If he pressed too much, it would sound like a direct accusation so he laughed in good humor. "It turns out, Miss Cheng and Miss Xia are close friends." 

The trio was yet to relax when yet another bomb was dropped in form of a question. "Have you ever worried about the consequences of collaborating with these two young ladies?" 

Xingyu had a bad feeling, so he shut the other with a single word, "No." 

However, the man did not give up. "You are so loving, Mr. Jiang. You are willing to support your fiancée despite her past. Speaking of which, Miss Xia, people have been asking about how you managed to get out of jail despite the irrefutable evidence of your crime. Did the Jiang family help you out? 

Luna patted Xingyu to stop him from flying into a rage. If he fought, the host would only term it as a guilt conscience.

"Did you invite us to this interview to ask us about our company or to indirectly hurl false accusations at us?"
