The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Lanni sunk into thought. Should she ask about Flynn's father? However, it may arouse too much suspicion and she was not ready to explain yet, so she decided to let it be. She would investigate it later. 

"I think it's my turn to ask questions now." Xia Hanchen smiled and left the kitchen. 

Exchanging glances with Xiehan who had been secretly listening, she followed him out. He turned as though to confirm whether she was following him and asked, "Why are you so curious about my watch? Also, why did you make a similar bracelet?" 

"Uh… I just liked it." It wouldn't turn out to have some strange meaning, right? She felt that her father's gaze was weird. What if it turned out to be the sign of some forbidden organization, and she had claimed herself as part of it by wearing this bracelet? Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-mine_51819725671427320">#&apos;s-mine_51819725671427320</a> for visiting.

She laughed at her own exaggerated thoughts. If it was related to some organization, her father would have definitely known about it, and he would warn her. 

When he heard his response, he nodded and said nothing more about it. Even so, he tapped her shoulder slightly. "Even though Flynn is your friend and his father was a good friend of mine, the agency he is affaliated with is not one you can fool around with. Don't go poking your nose where it does not belong." 

"I will not ask him anything." She was embarassed that her intention had been discovered so easily. It was only natural that Xia Hanchen was against her having anything to do with Galaxis, considering what they had done to them before. 

Hearing her response, he patted her head in satisfaction. As they talked, they arrived in the living room where Luna was going through a beauty magazine leisurely. 

The guys soon finished cooking and set the dining table with a lavish spread of dishes. The aroma of the attractive-looking dishes was so alluring that their stomachs grumbled. 

Xia Hanchen nodded in satisfaction when he tasted the dishes. Of course, aristocratic families usually had servants and chefs. However, he knew that most women would be pleased if their men personally cooked for them. When he saw each of them fondly serving dishes for the girls, He was pleased knowing that his daughters would be in the hands of men who genuinely cared for them.

He watched the peaceful atmosphere and asked, "Lanni, have you ever thought of changing your surname?" 

Lanni paused in her movements. "Huh?" 

Not just Lanni, the other three at the table were shocked too. They instantly understood what Xia Hanchen meant, but they were so taken aback that it felt as though they could not comprehend a word. 

"Your surname was originally Xia. You are a daughter of the Xia family. Would you like to change your surname back to what it should be?" He asked again, explaining it more clearly this time. 

"Well…" Lanni was so stunned that she couldn't say a word. While she did know that her surname was originally Xia, she had never thought too much about it. She was perplexed now that he mentioned it. 

"I will let you think about it." Xia Hanchen eased into a smile. 

"No, dad. I…" Lanni knew that it would only be more difficult if she let it drag on, so she immediately shook her head. "I can't. I'm sorry." 

Although she liked the fact that she had reunited with her dad, she didn't want to completely ruin her relationship with her mother and changing her surname might do just that. Her mother had doted on her for so long after all. Even though there were things they did not agree on lately, it would be unfair to do something that might hurt her feelings even further. 

"I understand." Xia Hanchen was visibly disappointed but he did not push it in fear of making his princess unhappy.

A long pause of silence followed. Luna spoke up to ease the atmosphere, "Lanni, do you mind accompanying me to the gynecologist tomorrow?" 

Xingyu was baffled. "But we were…" 

"I remember, your assistant mentioned something about you having to attend an emergency meeting in City H tomorrow?" Luna interrupted with a glare. 

"Yes." Xingyu swallowed his grief and watched from the sidelines as his sister-in-law snatched what was initially his role. 

"I'll take the day off tomorrow." Lanni took out her phone to send an email to her boss. Since she had never taken a day off work before, and since she had always been efficient, she would be granted one easily. 

"At what time is your appointment? We can go to shop for some toys after leaving the hospital." Lanni suggested. She had a feeling that Luna wanted to talk about something else as well.

However, Luna shook her head. "I cannot take the whole day off. Moonlight Studios is still in its…" 

Before she could complete her statement, Xingyu gave her a stern look. "Are you trying to overwork yourself again? Have you forgotten your main role?" 

She was startled by his tone, then her eyes drooped. "I won't do it again…" 

Seeing her pitiful demeanor, he was unable to continue scolding her so he rubbed her head. "Just take tomorrow off, okay? I will help you handle matters at the company. Over the weekend, I will take you somewhere fun." 

"Really?" She brightened up and leaned against his arm. 

It was no longer surprising that Xingyu treated Luna like a little girl, even using such things as a trip to coax her. What was still shocking was that around Xingyu, Luna acted like any other girl who was deeply in love with her man. After watching this forceful display of affection, Xia Hanchen ft stuffed. After dinner, he insisted on having both of his daughters stay over for the night and shooed the sons-in-law off before they had a chance to retaliate. 

… 

After watching a movie together, Xia Hanchen led his daughters to their room on the second floor. He pushed open a door leading to one of the three humongous rooms in the villa. It was styled simply with light yet refreshing tones and had two large, regal beds that were only a few feet apart. 

"I thought you would want to sleep in the same room. If not, one of you can go to the next room, they are identical." He explained as they walked in. 

"A sleepover doesn't sound like a bad idea." Lanni bounced onto the bed on the left while Luna carefully sat beside her. 

"I don't hate the idea too much either. I'll just have to put up with her for the night." Luna looked like she was at a loss. 

"Hey! I'm the one putting up with you!" Lanni complained, though she knew that her sister was joking. 

"If so, then go to the other room." 

"Nope. I like this one better." 

"Then go to the other bed." 

"Nope. I like this one better. And I sat here first, so it's mine."

"I'm the elder sister, so it's mine." 

At the door, Xia Hanchen burst into laughter, his lips curling in pride. This kind of scene should have happened years ago when the twins were still kids. However, they didn't have time to grow up together, much less bicker over such petty things. 

He didn't expect much but he had long prepared a room for them and had been waiting for the opportunity to let them stay together. Seeing them come to an agreement and decide to sleep on the same bed, he let out the breath he had been holding. It seemed like they really were in good terms. They were not acting it out for the sake of not worrying him.

As soon as Xia Hanchen left, Luna glared daggers at her sister. "What have you been hiding from me?" 

Lanni froze. She knew that she couldn't hide it forever. However, she really couldn't talk about it. She was at a loss. "There's nothing. I just…"

"I see. I'll go to sleep first then." Luna shrugged and turned off the bedside lamp, lying in bed. 

Lanni peeked at her using the faint, blue light from the colored floor lamp at a corner. "Are you mad at me?" 

Luna turned to her side and nodded in displeasure. "I know it when you are anxious, nervous, distressed and scared. I can feel it, you know. Yet, you won't tell me what's troubling you. You won't let me help you. If I can't help you, then what's my use as a sister? 

Lanni was rendered speechless. She took a deep breath to still the rush of emotions. "Luna, it's not that I don't want to tell you about it. I just can't…yet." 

Before the latter could retaliate, she added, "You have so many things to take care of now, and you are pregnant. I don't want to selfishly put your life and that of the baby in danger. Besides, this matter is n ot directly related to me. I'm just helping out."
