The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

The meal went on with immense awkwardness. However, it was neither Xiaoshi nor Luna who was awkward. Instead, it was Ji Feifei who would never have expected that the show she was awaiting did not arrive. It was her who was in the limelight like a clown. As if that was not horrible enough, her parents must have started to doubt her identity. 

She could not let them find out the truth! If they found out, she would be dead. 

They soon finished dining, and the Jiangs were the first to leave. Ji Meiling was afraid that her daughter was secretly sad, so she led her away too. Lin Jian wanted to have a word with Xiehan so his parents left first. 

When it was just the few of them left, Xiehan spoke up. "Did Ruby find a place to stay yet?" 

Lin Jian was baffled. Since when did Ruby not have a place to stay? Before he could point this out, the girl pinched him and he understood. He didn't fully comprehend the situation but judging by the secret reactions of Ruby, Xiehan and Lanni, he played along. "Not yet."

It was meant to be a casual conversation but Wen Lin heard it since she was still close by. She asked curiously, "Why wouldn't she have a place to stay?" Wasn't she Neil Chan's precious daughter? 

Lin Jian looked awkward so Lanni spoke up, "She had a fight with her dad because she is dating Lin Jian. However, it would be inappropriate for her to temporarily live with him since their relationship is still in its developing phase." 

When she saw Wen Lin thinking about it, she pretended to snap out of it. "Wait. She can stay at my place. Ruby, you won't mind, right?" 

Ruby knew what the ultimate plan was so she pretended to be at a loss. "But you and Xiehan…" 

She did not complete her statement but her implication was obvious. She did not want to distract the couple's bonding time. Ji Feifei, who was gloating at the side, frowned. Why the hell was Xiehan keeping close to Lanni? 

Ruby shook her head timidly. "Thanks, Lanni. I'll just stay at the hotel." 

As soon as her words were out, Lanni suggested that Ruby stay at Li Yuming's villa. However, it would be awkward since the two were not close to each other, and Lanni would not be present. 

Xiehan grabbed this chance to strike the ultimate blow. "It's not safe for a girl to stay at a hotel on her own. Why don't you stay here?" 

"Huh?" She pretended to be shocked, but Ji Feifei did not need to fake it. Her eyes were on the verge of rolling out of their sockets. 

"Aren't you best friends with Feifei? You can use this time to catch up. Besides, there are many guest rooms here." He then turned to Ji Feifei and acted like the reasonable elder brother. "Feifei, you regained your freedom all thanks to her. I'm sure you would be excited to stay with her, right?" 

"Y-yes. Brother knows me best." Despite her shock, she had to pretend to be happy about it. 

Ruby glared at her venomously. Who the hell is your brother? Don't go claiming other people's brothers as your own. 

… 

Just like that, Ji Feifei was stuck having to live under the same roof with Ruby for heaven knows how long. Not only that, but she would also have to pretend to be best friends with her. Ji Huifen and his wife didn't mind this arrangement, so she didn't have any excuse to send her off and could only grit her teeth. 

At the side, Xiehan let out a tiny smile. He would torment that woman to her death one step at a time. 

… 

Since she knew that she was in danger of being found out, JI Feifei decided to secure her position before it was too late. She had to please Wen Lin and make sure that even if her parents found out the truth, they would be unwilling to part with her. 

Hence, as soon as she woke up the following day, she went to the kitchen and made herself busy making breakfast. She used a cooking guide she found online and ended up scalding herself a few times by the time she had finally managed to whip up breakfast. 

Although it displeased her immensely, the result was better than expected. Wen Lin took her hand worriedly. "Feifei, what happened to your hand? Did you scald yourself? Why did you go to cook?" 

Grabbing this chance, she immediately looked wronged. She looked down and smiled as she explained, "I was away for so long that I missed you. I just wanted to do something to make you happy." 

Xiehan was not going to give her the chance to evoke his parents' pity. His lips twitched. "If you wanted to do something to make everyone happy, it would have been better to let the chef cook. What the heck is this?" 

"Bacon…" Ji Feifei responded timidly, looking like she was on the verge of tears. 

However, Xiehan didn't back down. He flipped the so-called bacon using a fork and glanced at her. "Oh? I thought it was a flattened piece of coal. Does it actually look like bacon—or anything edible—to you? My appetite is ruined." 

"Xiehan!" Wen Lin exploded. "Your sister tried her best. Is this how you treat her?" 

Lanni, who had been keeping silent, looked troubled. "Aunty, Xiehan is not wrong. It does look like coal." 

Wen Lin glared at them but before she could say a word, Ji Feifei ran out with tears in her eyes. 

Ruby raised an eyebrow and waited for For Ji Feifei to try to get revenge later. It would be fun.

Ji Feifei, I will be waiting. 

… 

When Xiehan and Lanni got into his car so he would drop her off, she couldn't help glancing at him curiously. "What are you doing? By directly going against her, aren't you sowing discord between you and your parents?" 

He cupped her face with a grin. "Babe, are you doubting your man's tactics?"
