The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Their conversation was interruptted by a call from Luna. She picked it up and glared at him to behave himself and not say anything he shoudn't "Hey sis."

"Are you alright, Lanni?" Luna detected from her sister's tone that something must be wrong.

"Yes, I'm okay." It was not a lie, since she was not going to let her sour conversation with Wen Lin ruin the rest of her night.

Luna was not having it. "You don't sound alright. You went to visit your in-laws. Did something bad happen over there?" She asked directly. From her tone, she was ready to drive over and battle it out with the Ji family if they did anything to hurt her.

Lanni chuckled at her sister's protectiveness, touched that she would not be on her own if things really went south. Of course, she knew that Xiehan would always be there for her too. "It's really nothing, Luna. I'm just tired." She didn't want to kick a fuss over something negligible.

"If you say so." Luna didn't sound convinced but had to take her sister's word for it since the latter would not spill her guts anyway.

"Did you have something to tell me?" Lanni asked. It was not usual for Luna to give her a call in the evenings, especially now that everyone assumed that she and Xiehan were in their honeymoon phase and wanted nothing but to cuddle each other with no distraction.

"Well, are you busy tomorrow?" She asked, then expressed her uncertainty immediately as it had just dawned on her. "It's not something important, actually."

"Not exactly busy." Lanni responded. "My boss gave me time off for my marriage but Xiehan has to go to work. I'll be on my own the whole day."

Luna was relieved. "Can you accompany me to shop for the kids? I'm sure they would love their aunt to tag along."

"I would love to!" There was no question about that. Hearing the cutte giggles in the background, she knew that the kids couldn't wait to go with her either. "At what time will you go?"

"About 10am. Is that okay with you?" She confirmed.

"Yes. See you there." Lanni excitedly hung up, looking forward to the next day.

He gave her a sidelong glance. "You have plans for tomorrow?" he had been worried that she would be bored once he had to leave for work.

"A date with my nephew and niece. Of course I'm excited." She almost hugged her phone as though the hug could be sent over to her nephew and niece.

Her joy was contagious, Xiehan smiled. "Have fun."

"You too." She teased even while knowing that work was probably anything but fun.

"There's not a minute of fun without you by my side." His brows knitted.

"But you need to work." She reminded him before he could think of cancelling.

"Mmh. Such a bummer." He g.r.o.a.n.e.d.

She thought about it and leaned over to kiss him. "On the bright side, I will be waiting for you in bed when you come back. Our bed."

Her emphasis on the last two words made his manhood harden in his pants in excitement. He frowened slightly. 'Relax, will you? She is already ours.' His heart raced from her kisses. "Can you not mention bed when you kiss me?" He complained.

"Okay. I'll mention it as I touch you." And she went on full husband-teasing mode.

"You look bright. You have become more beautiful in just a couple of days." Luna commented when Lanni joined her and Cheng Yu at the children's clothes and toys store.

"That's what marriage does to you." Lanni's cheeks flushed as she sneakily jabbed at Cheng Yu who had decided to join them at the last minute.

"I absolutely agree." Luna went along.

As expected, Cheng Yu complained. "Are the two of you trying to show off to me?"

"Sorry." Lanni chuckled.

"You're not sorry. Hmph. I'll play with my godson instead. He is more fun than the two of you." Cheng Yu ignored them and picked up Linhou who was trying to leave the cart.

"Don't be mad, CEO Cheng." Luna laughed teasingly. "How are things going at work?"

"Busier." Cheng Yu sighed. It was difficult to take a day off but she totally needed it. "But I will never let you down, Luna."

"I never doubted that." Luna smiled gratefully. She knew that Moonlight Studios was not just her hard work but Cheng Yu's too. The last thing Cheng Yu would do was let it go down the drain.

"She is the CEO now?" Lanni blinked at the news.

"It's still unofficial but yeah." Luna answered.

"Luna is giving up the position to me so she can save time for her softwares." Cheng Yu added.

Lanni thought about it and nodded. "I don't think it's a bad choice. Actually I think you are much better off behind the computers than a large desk labelled CEO."

Luna chuckled. "Yes. Except, I'm moving to a large desk labelled COO." It didn't sound like there was much difference but Luna and Cheng Yu just how much busier the CEO was. Afer discussing it with Xingyu, they decided that Luna would continue working from home whenever she could but when she had to attend meetings, she would go to the office.

On the other hand, Li Yuming helped them contact her old friend. The woman had been Lanni's nanny throughout her childhood and had only left because Lanni was a grown up and no longer needed a nanny. If the woman had been trusted with Lanni for all those years, then it must mean that she was worth a try. Otherwise, she would have been fired long ago.

After speaking to Xinghe about the matter, the latter had also sent over two of the servants who had worked for the Jiang family for the longest time and were the most trustworthy.

The new nanny would arrive the following day and after that, Luna would no longer have too much work in her hands.

When Lanni heard about the new arrangements, she was genuinely elated. "I'm happy for you, sis. And you too, Xiao Yu, you both deserve it."
