The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

After the interview, the outcome was better than they had anticipated. In the next few days, Moonlight Studios exploded in popularity and potential investors flooded in. At the same time, there were countless new applicants for various departments in the company. 

Luna checked through their information and rejected those that did not qualify, then asked the others to attend an interview. Even though they were still short of employees, she was not going to blindly hire people who might disappoint her later. 

Aside from the countless emails threatening to break down her computer, their social media accounts were on the verge of breaking down as well. 

In just a few days, there were innumerable new followers and thousands of requests for the game to be released sooner. The comments were hilarious. 

[Little moon, don't be such a bully. Release the game and we will love you forever!] The 'little moon' in the comment was obviously Luna. After this user started it, all the other commentators started fondly addressing her using this new nickname. 

[Little moon, if you do not release the game sooner, we will haunt you in your dreams.] 

[Shoo! Don't scare our little moon. Ps-I have already found a suitable nickname to use in the game. Grandmaster of leaderboard legends.] 

[How arrogant!] 

[I found one too! Damon's little fox.] 

Damon was one of the male characters in the comic, and Luna had confirmed that he would be a character in the game as well. The news had sent young women shrieking in excitement. As soon as one user declared that she would use a nickname with Damon's name in it, several teenage girls and young women followed suit. 

Until a teenage boy commented, [Mine is "The moon's little star"] 

The comments paused for a moment, then erupted in a flash. The moon's little star? Was he asking for a beating from Xingyu? 

Luna laughed when she saw their comments. How lively. 

The situation was no different on Cheng Yu's side. She had gained thousands of new followers in the last few days. She rarely posted pictures of herself and instead posted her paintings or snippets and fan arts of her comics. However, when she started dating Cedric, she had posted a picture of their intertwined hands and added the caption "I didn't think I would ever fall in love until I met you." 

The post had not garnered much attention before but was suddenly flooded with comments full of tears and heartbreak emojis from the guys. There were even some who jokingly asked when the two of them would break up and whether they would have a chance. 

Cedric was infuriated. What did they mean 'break up'? feeling aggrieved, he rushed to Cheng Yu at lunch break and complained about it sadly. "Yu, you are not allowed to fall in love with other guys." 

Cheng Yu laughed at his childish demeanor. Even so, she caressed his face lovingly. "Of course not. I only like you."

Luna was suddenly stuffed with this display of affection. She couldn't believe that rumor portrayed Cedric as a tyrannical young master. Indeed, one should never trust rumors. She stood up and reminded Cheng Yu, "We need to create official social media accounts for the company. Let the authors create their own accounts too." After this influx in popularity, there would be more new users on the comic app, and the authors would gain new fans. 

Cheng Yu nodded. "I'll do that right away. About the requests to release the game sooner…" 

Luna smiled wickedly. "Delay it by two weeks." 

Cheng Yu did not immediately comprehend what she was trying to do but Cedric was awed. "You don't want them to get what they want too easily?" 

Luna nodded. "If it seems too easy, there is nothing special about it. They will forget all about the game after just a day or two of playing." 

There were new games on the market every other day, so she did not hope that Demons Vs Gods would be so addictive that the users would play it forever. However, she hoped that they would not get bored of it too soon. 

Cheng Yu thought about it and felt nervous too. But then again, there would be new users so it wouldn't be the end of it if the old ones got bored. 

Luna let the love birds spend some time together and went to give Lanni a call. She invited her out for dinner to thank her. 

Meanwhile, Lanni was summoned by the CEO soon after the call ended. 

The man didn't look pleased. "By switching the host in the middle of an interview, do you realize the effect that had on TY Media?" 

Lanni sighed softly. "I'm sorry. However, the effect would have been much worse if the guests really walked out." 

CEO Qian looked up at the young girl in contemplation. "The point is, by doing that, you basically admitted that we are the only ones at fault." 

Lanni was not intimidated by his gaze. "But that's the case. He was slandering the guests and if they really walked out, who knows what nonsense he would have spread." She was at fault for not switching out the host as soon as she sensed something wrong with him, and the host was at fault for trying to pick on a guest. 

The CEO could not refute her words. Even so, his eyes were still full of questions. "I still think you made such a decision and fired him mainly because of your sister." 

Lanni's eyes flickered. Although she was not being reprimanded for it, she had to admit that if the host was picking on someone else, she would not be as angry as she was. She took a deep breath and admitted it. "CEO, I'm sorry if my decision had a negative impact on the company. However, I really couldn't watch my sister, brother-in-law and best friend get bullied and do nothing about it. If I cannot even protect the people I care about, then what's my use in this world?" Her words were unhurried, firm yet not rude. 

"I do not wish to choose between the company's reputation and my family's reputation. But if I really have to choose, then I would choose my family." 

The man said nothing but his eyes dimmed slightly. 

If I really have to choose, I would choose my family. 

This little girl probably knew nothing about the impact of her words. 

He pushed his thoughts to the back of his mind and probed, "What if I ask you to issue a public apology for your actions?" 

Lanni frowned slightly. "That would equate to me insinuating that Luna was not being slandered, that she was putting on airs and that there was nothing wrong with what Wang asked." Wang was the name of the male host who had been kicked out. 

The CEO looked at her with a slightly raised eyebrow, making his point clear. His implication was clear. He was putting her at a tight spot.

Although no one was talking about it, TY Media had lost its trust in the eyes of the public since Wang was their employee after all. The effect was only alleviated by the fact that Ava was such a darling that the public liked her. Even so, their official website had received comments of disapproval. 

thinking about it briefly, she decided to be honest. "I would rather quit." 

She would rather quit… CEO Qian studied the girl for a while. 

Could it be that women were more inclined towards caring for their loved ones? She was so determined that she didn't seem to care that the company might drag her name in the mud if she did not yield. 

Of course, he was neither planning to fire her nor soil her reputation. The question was merely meant for testing her. He simply wanted to know whether she was the type of person who would give up her career for love. 

Lanni waited anxiously and started wondering whether she had said anything wrong. The man finally asked, "You have a boyfriend, right?" 

"Yes." She looked at him curiously. What was with this unrelated question? 

He paused for a moment then asked, "What would you do if he gave you up for his career?

If… he had a one in a lifetime opportunity but he could not pursue it because of your relationship, what would you want him to do?" 

Lanni found the question strange but she shook her head. "I don't know. Realistically, I don't think he would ever leave me even at gunpoint. But hypothetically speaking, I would be sad if he left… But I would not stand in the way of his decisions." 

"I might really be a jerk."

Silence engulfed the room for an unknown amount of time. Just as Lanni wondered whether she should leave, the man suddenly changed the topic. "I'll send you some study cases and tests. You can do them during your free time and let me assess your capabilities." 

He had offered to train Lanni before so this was a normal task. She nodded. "Okay." She wanted to say something but in the end, she decided to mind her own business.
