The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

She couldn't help recalling what had happened at Luna's engagement banquet. She had thought that Li Yuming was so heartless as to want to embarrass her own daughter on such an important day but now that she thought it through carefully, what if the situation wasn't as it appeared?

What if the real culprit had been Xia Hanchen, and he maliciously framed Li Yuming to further alienate her from Luna, and make Lanni disappointed in her at the same time?

She was going crazy just thinking about it. To what lengths had this man gone? What an idiot had she been to never have realized a thing?

She snapped out of her thoughts to realize that he looked distressed. If this was in the past, she would have been worried about him. Although she didn't want to know what was going on in his mind, it would be suspicious if she didn't show her concern so she gently asked, "are you alright?"

The man smiled and tried to hide his feelings—or pretended to try and hide hid feelings. "It's alright. Just a little stressed."

She went along with the act. "What happened?"

"I heard Ji Feifei is out of prison." He sighed like he was at a loss.

"Yeah." She responded, inwardly mocking him. He talked to her recently and was now pretending that he didn't know and merely heard a rumor?

She observed him carefully as he swallowed a gulp and looked like he was even more disheartened after hearing the news. In the end, he spoke up again.

"Could you have Xiehan take her back? I'm sure he can do that."

Her eyebrows raised. What a schemer. He had been using Ji Feifei and since the latter was getting out of control, he was trying to use his own daughter to help him get rid of her?

She shook her head. "She is Xiehan's sister and he helped her out. There is no way he would send her back in prison just because of a word I say."

"Lanni, she hurt you before. I'm afraid she would want to do it again." He frowned in pretend worry.

"Under whose orders was she working?" She asked casually, but he didn't get her underlying meaning.

"Li Xiyan's." He gritted his teeth in anger. "That bitch. I treated her so well but she went behind my back to hurt my daughters. If I see her again, I will strangle her to death with my bare hands.

Talk to Xiehan, okay? If that guy loves you half as much as he claims, he would not compromise your safety for the sake of a criminal."

Lanni was speechless at someone's talented way of twisting the facts in his favor. Now she had seen it all.

Since she had known this man's true colors, she didn't dare to spend the night at his house and made an excuse to leave. She had just arrived at her apartment and was about to call Luna to ask how she was doing when Xiehan called.

"Honey, I may have to be away for longer than I thought." He sounded exhausted.

"It's alright. Do you need help?" She offered.

"Mmh. Take care of yourself. That's the greatest kind of help you can give."

She chuckled, knowing that he understood her but still decided to play with words. "Xiehan, I have good news. We found out the identity of Ji Feifei's supporter."

"The boss of Galaxis?" The man was expectedly shocked.

"Yes."

"It's someone you didn't expect?" He could tell from her tone that she was pained and disappointed.

"Let's talk about it when you come back, okay? Luna and I are going to interrogate him soon."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;t-know_52321026486368763">#&apos;t-know_52321026486368763</a> for visiting.

"You need to be careful, okay? He has the whole of Galaxis behind him. We need to plan this out." He reminded.

She slumped into the couch. "Don't worry. We will be careful."

She hung up and realized that it was a little late, so she sent a message to Luna. She trusted Li Yuming and knew that Luna would be in safe hands.

The next morning, the girls met up with Flynn, who was already in B City since he knew that they would want to talk to him. They met up at a private room of a beverage shop and he threw some metallic cubes at the corners. Seeing their raised eyebrows he explained, "They will make the room temporarily soundproof."

It was a reasonable caution measure so they nodded.

Gaining a half brother out of the blue was so shocking that Lanni and Luna didn't know how to react. They now understood why the man seemed to like minding their business so much.

Ignoring the strange emotions, Luna was the first to speak.

"How did you find out about him?"

It was an expected question. The man reclined in his leather chair as he explained, "I told you he manipulated me before, right? He seduced my mother and used me to pin her down. When I grew up, he acknowledged me and I thought he cared for me, only to realize that I was being used as well."

He took a sip of his hot tea. "Galaxis is not just a news agency. It's a den of criminals in disguise. The worst part is that for every crime you commit, he will secretly record it. I once witnessed a man go against him and try to leave. As a result, the old man sent him to the police under the guise of uncovering a criminal. Worse than that, he has made countless people go through fate worse than death."

Although they had expected it, the news was still earth-shattering.

Flynn focused his gaze on Lanni. "When you came to Galaxis, I so badly wanted to tell you to leave. I wanted to tell you the truth but I couldn't. I could only use indirect means to make you give up."

Lanni finally understood it. "No wonder you hated me. You didn't hate me. You were protecting me."

When the man nodded, she felt as though she could digest it forever so she asked, "Do you know anything regarding him and the Ji family?"

"Only that Ji Feifei is not your boyfriend's sister." He dropped yet another bomb, but they already knew this so they were not shocked.

Lanni and Luna saw the understanding in each other's eyes. He had mentioned it while talking about Xia Hanchen, which meant that he was certain about the man being behind the switching twenty years ago. That confirmed their theory too.

"What is she planning to do?" Luna tried to push their luck since they had found out that Xia Hanchen had given Ji Feifei a task.

The man frowned. "I don't know. Just make sure your parents are safe. I have to go or someone will get suspicious."

His words made sense. He had never gotten along with the sisters as they usually avoided him. It would be odd if he was found having tea with both of them and conversing freely.

Two days later.

" How dare you!" Ji Feifei's shrill scream resounded throughout the Ji Mansion and woke up those who were still asleep.

"What happened?" Madam Ji dashed downstairs when she heard the commotion, only to find Ji Feifei slapping and hitting a maid. She almost lost her cool. "Feifei, what are you doing?!"

The Ji family treated the servants almost like their family, and they wouldn't hit or scold them for no good reason.

"She was planning to poison us!" Ji Feifei pushed the little maid onto the floor.

Wen Lin frowned when she heard her words. "How is that possible? Manman has been working for this family since she was a teenager and has never done anything wrong. Did you misunderstand something?"

"Madam, I didn't do it." The maid shook her head with tears in her eyes.

"You keep denying it, then what was this doing in your pockets?" Ji Feifei crossed her arms and glared at her, then launched another slap that sent her to the floor.

Wen Lin grabbed the bottle and smelled its content. It was indeed poison. She didn't defend the maid this time. "Speak. Why do you have this bottle?"

"I don't know how it got into my pockets." She sobbed.

Ji Feifei sneered and was about to say more when Ji Huifen appeared at the doorway, having heard the fiasco.

"I remember your son is in hospital." He said unhurriedly.

When the maid heard the threat, she panicked. "I wasn't me. It was that girl with red hair. She gave it to me!"

Wen Lin was even more confused. There was only one girl with red hair living in the Ji Mansion recently. "Are you talking about Ruby?"

"Yes. It was her." The maid affirmed and looked at Wen Lin desperately. "She gave it to me. Madam, I wasn't planning to do anything. I was going to report it to you."

"It was me? How come I didn't know this?" A gentle voice resounded from the hallway.
