The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

After giving the details of the kind of bracelet she wanted, Lanni sent a picture and asked for the strange sign to be embedded onto it. After that, she smiled. "Now, all I have to do is wear the bracelet often. If anyone has seen the sign before, they will definitely ask about it." 

Xiehan thought about her method speechlesly. Although it was slow, it was much better than randomly asking everyone if they had seen it before. The latter method would only work if they were willing to explain everything, which was not the best thing to do at the moment. 

"Meanwhile, I will help Ji Feifei get out of prison." He declared out of the blue. 

She looked up at him in shock. "Since when did you become such a loving brother? Unless you…"

"It's hard to investigate her when she is not in my line of sight. The only way to keep watch is to keep her within my radius. Don't worry, I will not let her do anything out of line." The latter statement was a reassurance to her. They both knew the kind of feelings Ji Feifei harbored for him. 

Lanni withdrew her gaze. "I know. I'm not worried about that." 

He closed in on her and raised her chin. "Really? But you are giving me that look." 

She closed her eyes for a second. "I'm just… nervous." 

She was afraid of what might happen if they failed to find out the truth and retaliate in time. Would Xiehan be in danger? 

Understanding what she was worried about, he pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back soothingly. "It's okay. I will not be in danger." 

Reassured, she nodded and leaned against his chest. 

"Let's get out of here." Now that they knew that Ji Huifen could access the library, it meant that their presence could be discovered. She nodded and took a picture of a painting on their way out. 

After leaving the library, he wiped out all traces of their presence before they went to sleep. 

In the next few days, no one noticed a thing about Lanni's bracelet. It was just as expected. She simply hoped that there was someone who would recognize it, but she was not entirely sure about it. Although she was not too hopeful, she was still disappointed. 

However, something else happened and caused a stir online. 

It was not sure who started it, but a bunch of youngsters started cursing Luna online. 

[So what if she is a genius? She is merely a school dropout.] 

[She has the audacity to say it in an interview. She even sounded like she was proud of it. Urgh… I'm so disgusted.] 

There were even a few 'mothers' who spoke up. 

[A business interview is supposed to be inspirational and encouraging. By publicising a school dropout with poor moral values, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to tell youngsters that they should follow her bad example?] 

[She is pregnant at such a tender age. Girls her age should be focusing on their education! How immoral!] 

[I heard young master Jiang was initially engaged to another girl but she seduced him and blackmailed him with a baby, so he had to break up and get engaged to her instead. So vicious at a young age!] 

[Who knows if the baby is really Jiang Xingyu's? Such shameless women can do anything to marry into wealthy families. The Xia family isn't doing that well anymore, anyway.] 

Lanni was infuriated when she read these comments. Someone was tired of living. From the focus of these comments, it was obvious that someone had started the thread with a malicious intent, and that person was also controlling the comments. There was no single person who had stood up for Luna. Or perhaps, there may be a few, but their comments must have been deleted. 

What was more puzzling was that Luna had not deleted the post. She could do that in seconds. However, it was a good thing that she hadn't. It would be better to find out who the thread starter was. 

While Lanni looked through the information, the site suddenly closed down. She was about to conclude that Xiehan or Luna was at work when she realized that it was not hacked. It was just a new comment and it had shot to popularity so fast that the website almost couldn't stand the influx of new replies and likes. 

She checked it curiously and found that it was a new comment by a user called [Twilight05.] 

[One look and it's clear that this thread is full of brainless fools.

So what if a girl did not complete her college studies? Does that make her less respectable? Did you try to find out why she could not go on? Let's not mention the unfortunate circumstances that can force a student out of school. Of course, a genius of her level does not need school. It's degrading to her IQ to be in the same class as ordinary people. 

Immoral? Seduced an engaged man? Get your brain checked. The whole world knows that she is his first girlfriend. don't yap nonsense or we will start to think that she ruined your daughters' chances of being with such an outstanding man. Also, she is an adult. It's up to her when she wants to have kids. What does it have to do with you, is she carrying your baby? 

Latched onto a powerful man? Please. Does Li Yuming's daughter need to marry into wealth?

I hope your daughters are trolled and harassed. See if you still dare to point fingers at an innocent young woman.] 

Lanni was stunned when she read the post. She read it several times over, and repeated the third phrase about ten times. Does Li Yuming's daughter need to marry into wealth? Li Yuming's daughter? 

She was not surprised that someone would term Luna as Li Yuming's daughter, since many people now knew that they were sisters. What shocked her was that… Twilight05 was Li Yuming's pen name! 

She would have thought that it was probably a fan of Li Yuming's who had used the same nickname to match their idol, but when she saw the explosive reaction from Li Yuming's fans, she knew that this was really her mother's account. 

Why would she speak up for Luna? She even acknowledged their mother-daughter relationship! 

She smiled and directly called Li Yuming to ask about it. 

In the end, the latter's response made her regret asking. 

"Everyone knows that she is your sister. If her reputation is tarnished, you will be dragged in the mud along with her. The rumors might affect me too, I'm only doing it for us." 

Lanni sighed and hung up. She had long accepted that it was a lost cause. 

On the bright side, the tide had changed following Li Yuming's comment. There were new comments expressing their support. 

[School dropout or not, I love Little Moon! Ps: I'm still waiting for "Demons Vs Gods".] 

[What insane nonsense! All you haters are just jealous of Luna. Don't make me start listing all the geniuses and tycoons who did not graduate from high school.] 

[Twilight is right. The thread starter must be bitter because their daughter was rejected by Xingyu.] 

In the end, the thread was reported by many users so it was deleted. However, it proved a point. Someone was trying to target Luna. 

Could it be a competitor who wanted to strike her down before Moonlight Studios got too famous? Was it someone who was seeking revenge for a personal grudge? 

Just as she thought about it, a new piece of news popped up from Moonlight Studios' official website. "Demons Vs Gods" had been released! 

Excited, she finished her work at lightning speed and prepared to install it. There was a mobile version as well as a computer version, so she installed it both on her phone and her laptop. It was lunch hour so no one would mind her playing in her office. 

She was stunned when she looked the game up. Tens of thousands of downloads in just a few hours? Just how many people were waiting for this game? It seemed like they would save up a lot on marketing. 

Thinking about this, she installed the game and created an account. 

The game was romance-action themed and suited both men and women. There were two modes; story mode and battle mode. The story mode was no different from a simulation, where one would create their own character and 'live' the tale of the game. 

In battle mode, one would choose their type of character which could be a demon, a human or a god. They could be a solo fighter or form teams, but one could only team up with their own kind. Every few hours, an anonymous treasure chest would be released. The players had to fight their way to the source and find it, then safely return to their own camp. Points were awarded for every hit and kill, and the treasure would usually contain experience points, diamonds or weapons which would be shared among the members of the team who got it.. Of course, a team was allowed to 'steal' the trea sure chest from another team before it was opened.
