The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Xiaomu clung onto Xiehan and hugged his neck, her eyes begging for kisses. He chuckled and pressed his lips against her soft face, which made her giggle happily and clumsily smack her lips against his face.

"So your uncle is more popular now." Lanni pretended to be jealous as she looked at them while driving.

"Don't be jealous. It's inevitable that the little angel would like me more. I'm very handsome, after all." Xiehan grinned happily.

Xiaomu didn't know a thing of what was going on around her, nor why the duo was laughing. When she set her eyes on Lanni, she excitedly held her small arms for a hug. "Momma!"

Xiehan facepalmed. "This is why I thought she was our daughter." If his ears hadn't failed him, he had heard the little girl mumble to Lanni while calling her her mother.

"She will notice the difference when she is older." Lanni smiled and turned to ask, "Are you disappointed?"

"Disappointed?" He did not understand.

She nodded. "That she is not our daughter."

Xiehan laughed. "What's there to be disappointed about? We can just steal her away. I can't swear that I didn't have such a thought." How was it fair for Xingyu to have a child this adorable?

Lanni laughed too, she loved Xiaomu and Linhou very much.

"Where are we going?" He asked out of the blue.

"Where do you want to go?" She threw a question back at him, as a way of evading the question since she did not want to ruin the surprise.

"I don't know. Anywhere you want to take me." He stated.

She peeked at him teasingly. "Then sit back and wait for me to take you wherever I want."

He was speechless, but she had a point. It didn't matter whether she answered him or not, since he wouldn't have anything against it anyway.

"Welcome back!" They all cheered as soon as they saw him walking in through the door with Lanni and Xiaomu.

"Xiehan!" Wen Lin was so emotional that she was about to burst into tears as she finally hugged her son again.

"I'm back, mother." He patted her back before hugging his father.

"I heard all about your hard work at the Island. You have been helping to keep the company on track too, despite being so busy. I'm proud of you, son." Ji Huifen proudly patted his son's shoulder.

"It's because you, mother, Uncle and Aunt taught me well." He did not take all the praise to himself. Besides, it was true that he had recieved a lot of guidance from them.

"That's a sweet tongue. And you have become more handsome. No wonder Lanni is so smitten." Xinghe stepped forward to embrace him.

"I'm not smitten." Lanni denied, but it only gave the others something to laugh at. They could clearly see it from her eyes just how happy she was to have him back. Her eyes could barely move away from him for a second.

"Welcome back." Luna gave him a friendly hug with Linhou in her arms.

Xiehan thanked her and picked Linhou up. "You have grown up. I almost missed your childhood."

"You are not too late." Xingyu patted his back. The kids were only toddlers and were in their most active phase, which was the most thrilling.

Xiehan kissed Linhou's cheek, earning a scream from Xiaomu when she saw her favorite uncle kissing another baby. The a.d.u.l.ts burst into laughter while Xiehan carried Xiaomu. "I'll kiss you too." He pressed his lips against her forehead.

Placated, she pushed her brother away from Xiehan.

"What a jealous child." Li Yuming chuckled at her cute granddaughter, and hugged her grandson so he wouldn't be sad about his sister's character.

"Where is Xiaoshi?" Xiehan asked when he noticed his cousin's absence. Han Xichen wasn't present, and it made him question whether they had gotten married and gone on honeymoon together.

He wouldn't be surprised, since Xiaoshi was pregnant when he left.

"She's inside." Ruby led him in, where Xiaoshi was placating her baby who was about to go to sleep.

"Shishi?" He was pleasantly surprised.

Han Xichen greeted him while Xiaoshi turned with a smile. "Meet your niece, cousin. Her name is Yue." She was proud to say her daughter's name. She and Han Xichen had registered their marriage before their daughter was born, and it was the happiest year of her life. Even though her father was still in jail and her mother was often in Australia and only came to visit her once in a while, she had found a family in the Han family.

"Are you happy?" Xiehan asked her, not because he suspected that his cousin was unhappy, but he simply wanted to make sure.

"I couldn't be happier." She smiled and gently handed the baby to her cousin.

Xiehan didn't want to interrupt the girl's sleep so he gently rocked her with a happy smile. The evening was already emotional even though it had only just begun.

After partying all evening, Xiehan went back to his mansion with Lanni accompanying him.

As soon as they entered the house, she wrapped her arms around him. "I couldn't wait to be alone with you."

He kissed her lips deeply. "What would you like us to do now that we are on our own?"

"Everything." She whispered and pressed a kiss against his neck.

She felt herself float as he carried her in his arms. "Aren't you tired?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Not too tired for a 'welcome party'." He laughed.

Who wants to see Xiehan's and Lanni's 'welcome party'? They may just make their own baby XD
