The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Today?" The thought of it being so soon made her have butterflies in her tummy. "What should I prepare? What kind of gifts should I bring, and what should I wear?"

"Don't worry. You don't need to prepare anything, just be yourself and they will appreciate you this way." He urged. He knew that whether or not his relatives liked Xiaoshi, they knew that they had no right to give opinions about her and would keep their sentiments to themselves. It was only out of respect that he wanted them to know who he would be married to in a few months.

Hearing his assurance, she rushed to her closet and picked out what to wear. She tried on several outfits, making him want to burst into laughter.

"Don't fuss too much. Just dress the way you want to." He assured her. "If you like, you can as well wear the emperor's new robe. Though I would not like you to wear that in public because only I can enjoy the beautiful view."

She paused in her tracks and looked at him with her mouth gaped. "When did the topic take such a dirty turn?"

"What dirty turn? I only spoke the truth." He laughed, and she ignored him.

She didn't want to listen to his excuse that might just be something naughty, so she selected a simple and modest blue dress to change into.

The A-line dress reached just on her knee, and she tried not to add too many accessories. Carrying a simple handbag and letting her hair down, she applied a tiny bit of lip gloss and went back to him.

"You look beautiful. Let's go before I change my mind and pull you into bed instead." He warned.

She knew he might just do that, so she quickly took a pair of shoes to wear and rushed out, as he chuckled behind her.

He drove to a grand estate with a few villas, which she guessed must all belong to members of the Han family. How luxurious.

"You are finally back! We almost thought you were going through the formalities of disowning us." A beautiful woman hugged Han Xichen as soon as they left the car. Based on the similarities on their faces, she guessed that they had to be cousins.

"Why would you think that?" Han Xichen asked her through a laugh with his arm hooked around Xiaoshi's waist.

"It's been so long. Is this your wife? I can't believe you got married without informing us." The woman scrutinized Xiaoshi. "Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Qianqian."

"Hello." Xiaoshi wasn't sure whether or not the woman was fond of her so she chose a meek greeting.

"We are engaged." Han Xichen stated.

"That's great. She's so beautiful, and she's pregnant. We must throw a party to celebrate. "

Xiaoshi widened her eyes at Han Xichen, who shrugged to imply that he hadn't said anything to anyone. Xiaoshi blushed when she remembered that this was a family full of paramedics, they could probably guess such things in a flash.

"Don't make a fuss. Shishi likes everything simple." He said to stop his cousin from throwing a party to invite the entire country.

"That's okay." Qianqian walked beside Xiaoshi as she showed them in.

"Xiaoshi, could you do me a favor? This imp often forgets that he has a family. When it slips his mind, could you kick his b.u.t.t and send him home to us?"

Han Xichen slapped his forehead. "Don't embarrass me." How could she say such things for Xiaoshi to hear?

His cousin harrumphed at his self-defense. "Then don't disappear for ages and not care about us."

"When did I ever neglect you?" Han Xichen retorted, and the topic shifted back to how he had disappeared for ages without saying a word.

Xiaoshi burst into laughter. They were so much like she and Xiehan. They would often bicker endlessly about things that didn't even matter, but they rarely ever talked about serious matters.

Speaking of Xiehan, she had missed him so much. Even though they didn't always stay together, it was always because they didn't want to. They could visit each other whenever they wanted, but this time it was different. They wouldn't see each other even if they wanted to.

On the bright side, her cousin would gain all the experience he needed so she was no longer sad about it.

Han Xichen's family was more friendly than she would ever expect. They chatted with her and congratulated her for her pregnancy, which she still didn't know how they found out. Perhaps in the midst of experienced medics, there really was no secret related to one's body. However, she felt as though she had known them for years thanks to their friendliness, so she didn't mind them knowing about it.

…

Meanwhile, in Xingyu's new villa.

"Luna?" Xingyu called out for his wife when he had just woken up from an afternoon nap. He checked the kitchen and music room, then the gym and didn't find her. He scolded himself. Of course, there was only one place where she spent most of her time lately.

"I knew I would find you here." He spoke with a smile when he opened the door to the nursery, to find her sitting beside the cribs and playing with the twins.

She looked up with a smile, her hand still in Xiaomu's crib. "They are so lovely, Xingyu. I still can't believe I'm a mother. It feels like a dream."

He walked over and hugged her in his arms. "I still can't believe I'm a husband and a father at that."

They were the two best things that had happened in his life, and he couldn't help checking out the ring in his finger for the umpteenth time.
