The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Check this out, Lanni. I think it would look good on you." Cheng Yu exclaimed as though she had just won the jackpot.

Lanni excitedly looked over at her. "Let me see." In the next second, she frowned. Cheng Yu was holding a little princess dress whose tag was labelled 2-2 and a half years. She shook her head. "You naughty thing."

"You totally fell for it." Cheng Yu threw her head back, laughing so hard that Lanni wanted to punch her in the face. How could she have fallen for such a lousy trick? When Cheng Yu mentioned a dress that would look good on her, she had totally forgotten that they were in the children's store.

"I will take revenge for that. Just you wait." She threatened Cheng Yu.

"I'll be waiting, your majesty." Cheng Yu teased and was about to return the dress to its rack when a tiny hand tugged at it. "Do you like it, Mumu?" She looked in Xiaomu's direction only to find that she was not the one holding it, but Linhou.

"Luna, your son wants to wear a dress." She laughed teasingly.

Luna chuckled as she watched Linhou grab the dress as though he liked it. In the next second, he looked towards Xiaomu and c.u.msily passed the dress to her.

"How smart. He knows that Mumu wears dresses so he thinks all dresses belong to his sister and is returning it to her." Lanni observed with a smile.

"How cute. He is looking out for his sister. I want a twin brother too." Cheng Yu's eyes were filled with adoration.

Luna smiled dotingly at her children and focused her gaze on Xiaomu. "Mumu, if someone gives you a gift, you thank them by saying 'thank you'. Go on, thank your brother."

She tried to, but the words were difficult to pronounce so she simply flashed Linhou a smile that could melt hearts.

"I swear, I'm going to ask my boyfriend to do me without protection next time. I hope I will have a child that cute." They overheard a young woman expressing her awe in the most unfiltered way.

"Do you think they will be that cute? Those are Jiang Xingyu's children." Another young woman gossiped while trying to lower her voice, clearly doing a horrible job at it. "Besides, look how beautiful their mother is. I would kill to have such a cute pair of twins but I simply can't hold a candle to them! Why is life so unfair?"

Several gasps of admiration followed them no matter which alley they took, and Luna caught a few teenagers trying to snap pictures of Linhou in the name of admiring the little Xingyu. It was hard enough just convincing them that they should delete the photos because Linhou was too young to be exposed to the media, without sounding rude. In the end, she decided to send the twins to the play area.

There were many little kids in the play area and no one had the time to comb through the adorable mess of pink and blue just to look for Jiang Xingyu's kids. They sat on the first floor, where they could see the play zone through the mezzanine. They were tired and needed refreshments.

"The kids look happy." Cheng Yu observed as she sipped her juice. She couldn't get her eyes off Xiaomu who was bouncing happily on what looked like a small deflatable castle. She even held hands with a little girl who was probably her new friend.

"I've never seen my Mumu smile so happily." Luna felt her heart melt. Xiaomu had always been active, walking l.a.p.s throughout the compound in search for heaven knows what. Yet, this was the first time that her adorable laugh was filled with so much joy. "Turns out it's because she doesn't have friends. I overlooked this."

"But she has a brother at least." Lanni commented.

Luna chuckled at the thought of it. "Brother, yes. They are like boiling oil and water. Whenever they are in the same frame, screams happen and the house falls into chaos."

"Uh… is that how twins usually are?" Cheng Yu didn't want to imagine it.

"It's funny if you ask me. I had to ask their pediatrician if it's alright. He said it was because they had some sense of competition against each other, probably regarding the people around them."

It was almost unbelievable, especially since they were both so adorable. Everyone's first reaction upon seeing them was usually to hold them on one arm each, or hug them one after the other. It was hard to not love either twin.

"Xingyu and I strive to treat them fairly all the time. To be honest, I don't have a preference between them either. I just love them both with all my heart. But in their little minds, they want to know who our favorite is." She ffound them amusing.

"What if your favorite were Linhou and Xingyu's favorite were Xiaomu?" Cheng Yu asked.

"They would want to oust each other and want just one of them to be both parents' favorite."

"Uh… that sounds complex for their age."

"I know. But on the contrary, it is because they are little that they can think that way. When they are older, doc says that they will probably be so dependent on each other that Xingyu and I will feel like backdrops. Honestly, I wouldn't mind. As long as they stop fighting."

"Look, isn't that Linhou? He is befriending a little girl." Lanni was awed. With their rivalry, she had almost thought that Linhou ignored Xiaomu sometimes because he had realized that they were different and he disliked little girls.

"I didn't know kids that young could be let into the play zone." Cheng Yu noticed that the little girl eating Linhou's snack couldn't be two years old yet. But it was not surprising. There were professionals looking after the kids so their age didn't actually matter.

"The point is, Linhou has a little girlfriend. " Cheng Yu cheered, earning a smack from Luna.

"You are dirty minded! My son is just a toddler."

"So protective, are we? He will have a girlfriend sooner or later." She teased.

"Just shut up." Luna frowned. Although she knew that kids that age probably didn't know the difference in gender, she looked over at her son who was laughing so hard that he fell onto the carpet along with the little girl. "Wait. Isn't that girl Yue?"
