The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Feifei!" Wen Lin glared at Ji Feifei as she held Ruby gently and helped her up.

By the time Ji Feifei realized what Ruby had been planning all along, it was too late. She could only grit her teeth. "Mum, she is faking it. I didn't push her!"

"Aunty, she pushed me." Ruby sobbed, knowing the effect of her tears on Wen Lin.

As expected, Wen Lin felt her heart ache even more. She hugged Ruby fondly. "Come with me. Aunty will bring you to eat some snacks."

Ji Feifei glared at their backs. "Who is your daughter between me and her?! Why would you trust the words of an outsider?"

Before Wen Lin could say a word, Ruby crossed her arms and glanced at her. "Outsider? Ji Feifei, are you trying to make me laugh?"

Once again, Ji Feifei shuddered. What did her words mean? Did she know the truth? When she thought back to how Xiehan had been driendly to her, she panicked.

"I…"

"Feifei, I thought we were friends. How could you call me an outsider? Is that how you really consider me?"

Ji Feifei secretly sighed in relief. Before she could make an excuse, Ruby pulled away from Wen Lin.

She then turned to the latter and smiled, as if trying to hide her grievances. "Aunty, I will move out. I wouldn't want to make Feifei uncomfortable."

"Where will you go?" Wen Lin was worried.

"Anywhere. As long as Feifei is comfortable." She looked aside and wiped a drop of tears, successfully shattering what was left of Wen Lin's heart.

"The audacity!" A deep voice resounded from the staircase as soon as Ruby spoke.

Wen Lin looked up and saw her son walking downstairs, looking like he was about to declare war against the whole world.

"Xiehan…" She was about to speak when her eyes widened in the next second. Xiehan brushed past Ji Feifei and pulled Ruby to his side.

"You…" She was shocked. Hadn't they agreed not to reveal the truth yet?

Xiehan glanced at her wordlessly. Although that was what they had agreed, he knew that Ruby might really move out just to make Wen Lin mad at Ji Feifei. While it would work, he couldn't stand the thought of his parents being under the same roof as an impostor while their real daughter missed them helplessly.

"Ji Feifei, what the hell is wrong with you?" He stared down at her ferociously.

Wen Lin's eyes widened in shock. "Xiehan, you…"

"Ruby will stay in this house for as long as I want. Does anyone have a problem with that?"

Without waiting for them to respond, he added, "Also, she will stay in whatever room she wants. Ruby, go and check out where you want to stay. It doesn't matter if the room is occupied, I will get someone to clean it up and redesign it according to your tastes."

His indirect message was not entirely secret. He meant that even if the room she wanted was Ji Feifei's. He would kick Ji Feifei out of the room and clean it up for her.

He turned on his heel and went back upstairs, but his actions and words had struck a chord in Wen Lin's heart.

As his mother, she was certain that Xiehan was in love with Lanni. It would make no sense for her to think that he liked Ruby. Besides, she could tell that his relationship with Ruby was different from that of lovers. Why then was he so hell set on protecting her?

…

Ji Feifei was still in disbelief when she went back to her room.

She paced around in panic and stalked downstairs, intending to grab something to eat when she saw Ruby on the staircase. She was not on her own. Xiehan was with her too.

She rushed back a few steps to eavesdrop and clearly saw them hugging each other. She was just about to point out their inappropriate behaviour when she overheard their conversation.

"Mother will be suspicious."

He rubbed her head like she was a little girl. "That's the point. We cannot keep it a secret for too long. Otherwise, the impostor will find a way to kick you out of the mansion."

Although that would not change many things and they could still turn the tables, he didn't want his parents tp feel guilty for kicking out their biological daughter. It was already hurtful enough that they had been living with a counterfeit and didn't know about it.

"You are right, brother. What should I do now?" She asked.

Hiding behind the corner, Ji Feifei was stumped. She almost fainted in shock when she clearly heard what Ruby had just called Xiehan. Brother? !

They knew that they were siblings! They also knew that she and Ruby had been switched at birth! What was worse, they had been finding ways to get her kicked out!

No wonder Xiehan came up with a charade to squeeze Ruby into the Ji Mansion. No wonder he was so protective of Ruby, no wonder he hated her more than he did in the past.

No! She could not let it happen!

She rushed back into her room with a racing heart.

"Is she gone?" Ruby asked when she could no longer hear footsteps.

"Mmh. She must be going to call for help." He speculated. A while ago, he had decided to meet up with Ruby so they would discuss what to do next. Just when they were about to start talking about it, they realized that Ji Feifei was eavesdropping on them.

"Was it okay to do that?" She asked, referring to how they had deliberately let it slip that they knew their true identities.

"She is going to do something that will be most beneficial to us." He laughed, knowing how stupid Ji Feifei was.

…

Ji Feifei's room.

In a fit of panic, the girl grabbed a secret phone that no one knew about and made a call.

"What should I do? they know the truth! It's for sure this time. I heard Xiehan talking about it with that b*tch!"

"Is there anything you can ever do right?" A curse resounded from the other side, then the man uttered insults at her. When he had finally calmed down, he asked, "Who knows? Do your parents know already?"

Ji Feifei shook her head when she thought about it. "I don't think so. I merely heard them say things like it would be hard to tell their parents the truth and that they needed the old trash and bitch duo to be doubtful and investigate it themselves. Either way, Xiehan deliberately did things that made his mother suspicious. It will not be long until she pins the pieces together too."

the man was fuming in rage. After a few seconds, he said, "Now you can only pull the big guns."

"Pull… What guns?" She trembled when she heard his tone. The last time she had committed crimes for the boss, he jilted her when she was in jail. In fact, he had still used her even while she was still behind bars. Now that she was free, he was not going to ask her to do something that would send her back to prison, was he?

Just as she prepared herself to find excuses to reject the mission, his voice came through. "Kick that girl out. I will give you the cards but it's all ip to you how you play it."

"Sir, this…"

"Didn't you say that you wanted to marry Xiehan at all costs? This is your chance." The man laughed heartily.

…

Xiehan's study.

Ruby and Xiehan listened closely as the man spoke. However, the instructions they were waiting for did not happen. Instead, he hung up the call and sent Ji Feifei a text message.

Xiehan was unable to read the content, but he frowned. It was that bizzare language again. He should have expected it. How could the boss of Galaxis leave his tracks behind so carelessly?

In actual fact, it was not easy to hack into Ji Feifei's secret phone as it had been protected by a series of viruses. He had used a lot of effort and had managed to overhear something important. Even so, they had still hit a dead end.

The only way they could translate the message was if Lanni could remember that language, and the probability of that happening was too slim to be reliable.

the most troublesome fact was that Ji Feifei must be preparing to scheme against Ruby. But what could the scheme be?

"The only way to make mother and father hate me is by framing me for a crime that would never be tolerated. What do you think that is? Will she make it seem like I tried to hurt mother and father...or her?"

Xiehan speculated in disgust. "Our parents would hate you much more if you tried to hurt me. However, she wants things to go in her favor so she will probably self-harm to frame you.. Our parents will kick you out, and she will probably threaten to file a lawsuit against you if I do not agree to take her as my wife."
