The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Where is she?" He once again asked, unwilling to let the matter go. How could he simply forget about a woman who tried to steal his son away?

Luna patted his arm to calm him down. "It doesn't matter anymore. I told her agency about her obsession so they would help her seek treatment."

He frowned at her. How could she be so lenient?

Knowing what he was thinking, she sighed. "We can't blame her, Xingyu. It was wrong of her to want to steal a child but the cause of it was not her fault. She lost her child. Anyone would go crazy if that happened to them. Anyway, she will not do it anymore so let's not waste our time on her, okay?"

He could only nod and let the matter be. After all, nothing good could come out of him finding the woman anyway.

She was relieved, but he cupped her face in his hands and looked into her eyes." I would prefer it if you told me something immediately. I'm pretty certain that mother would never deliberately hire a psycho for her grandchildren, which is why you should have told me. I wouldn't pick a fight with her."

"I'm sorry for not telling you sooner." She admitted that she was in the wrong. If he had guessed that something was bothering her long ago, then it meant that he had been worried for her all along. It was definitely not fair.

Seeing her cling onto his arm and admit her mistake, he couldn't bear to say anything mean. His heart softened as he rubbed her head. "What will I do with you?"

Late in the afternoon, Xiehan beckoned Lanni over to the couch where he was sitting.

"Come here, my love." He said. She slid off the bed and walked over, taking her place on his l.a.p.

"Are you bored?" She asked. It would not be a surprise, considering they had been lying around in bed all day. She had thought that they would go out for fun but they were too tired so they spent the whole day in the room, ordering food when they were hungry and watching movies when they wanted to.

"We still have something exciting to talk about." He held her back.

"What's that?" She looked up curiously. Hadn't they already talked about pretty much everything that needed to be mentioned?

"Kids." He grinned.

"What?" She was taken aback by the sudden topic.

He smiled and nuzzled his head in the crook of her neck. "I mean, we are married now… I was wondering if you would ever be interested in having babies." He paused, questioning himself when she remained silent for longer than it could possibly take to think about it.

He had seen her interaction with kids in the past, and her overflowing love for Linhou, Xiaomu and Yue. He had thought that it was because she loved kids. Could he have misunderstood the situation? Was it only because they were the children of the people she cared about?

Unaware of what her husband was thinking about, Lanni finally processed his words and was excited. "Yes! Is there anyone who doesn't want little cuties? Uhm… there are people who don't want kids but anyway, I would love them. Of course, it depends on your opinion too."

He was relieved as he kissed her. "I wouldn't say no to an adorable little angel with our combined genes. It would be the epitome of beauty and cuteness."

"Aren't you narcissistic?" She playfully jabbed him. In response, he stuck his nose in the air.

"Of course, I'm very awesome. If not, I would never be able to settle down with a woman this perfect."

She smiled. She would never get enough of his flattery. "You flatter me too much."

"You better get used to it because I'm amazed every time I see you." He kissed her yet again, then asked the other question in his mind. "How many kids would you want?"

"Just one or two. The more kids we have, the harder it would be to give them equal attention." She explained, and he agreed with her.

"What about pets?" She asked when he nodded.

He thought about it. "I don't dislike animals. If you love them, we can adopt some. Speaking of which, do you want to move in with me right away or after the wedding?"

"Uhm…" She pondered with her finger on her chin and looked up at his side profile. "Is it shameless to move in right away?"

he chuckled, once again delighting in the fact that they were thinking of the same thing. "Not in the slightest. You are my wife."

She looked relieved. "Then I'll need some time to cancel the lease on my apartment and get my things ready."

He pinched her ears. Was she forgetting that she now had a husband and no longer needed to do everything on her own? "I had a word with your landlord. We will drop by to gather your belongings and we can go after paying my parents a visit."

She chuckled at how fast he had handled it. It turned out, he had been certain from the word go that she would agree to move in with him soon. But when she heard the last part of his statement, she was surprised.

"We are going to visit your parents right now?"

"We should, because we got married before the wedding. It would make them overjoyed to find out that you became their daughter-in-law sooner that it was initially planned." He explained and pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "But we can do that tomorrow. I'm busy right now."

"Busy with what?" She looked up at him curiously. Hadn't he taken time off work?

In response, he pushed her to lie on the couch and kissed her tummy. "Busy m.a.k.i.n.g. .l.o.v.e to my wife."
