The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

He did not want to jump into conclusions regarding her involvement, but if she did really did have a role to play in Li Lanni's accident, then she would have crossed his bottom line. Until now, the only reason he had been  sparing her was that she was his sister. But if he had any evidence regarding her involvement,  he wouldn't care about this anymore.

If Ji Xiehan knew just how important that 'savior' was, he would not have tossed him aside so casually. 

...

After he went home, he called Jiang Xingyu to his place to have a chat.

"Did you ask your Aunt Li about it?" As soon as Jiang Xingyu arrived, he threw a question at him, his tone laced with envy. Ji Xiehan had managed to get on Li Yuming's good side before he did. When he was obviously Lanni's first love...

He knew that being Li Lanni's love had nothing to do with anything. Li Yuming only favored Ji Xiehan because their families had been a bit close, and she had taken care of him a few times when he was a kid. This must be the only reason why they were close. But still, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in envy. If only he had been close to Li Yuming as a child too... 

Ji Xiehan was unaware of his friend's jealousy, so he invited him to have a chat over a glass of wine and explained what he had heard from Li Yuming. He tactfully left out the overly sensitive details like how the accident seemed to be premeditated since Jiang Xingyu didn't need such details anyway. 

When he was done, he asked, "Her name is Li Lanni. Why do you call her Xia?" 

Jiang Xingyu seemed to recall something. "That's her surname. She said to call her Miss Xia and not ask about her first name. I didn't investigate her either because I respected her privacy." 

Ji Xiehan nodded. It was indeed as he had thought. "What of her family?" He asked to confirm if his part was in line with what Li Yuming had said.

"When I asked to meet her parents, she became defensive, so I assumed she wasn't ready and stopped asking." 

As though recalling something, Jiang Xingyu fidgeted in his seat. It was somehow unrelated to what they were talking about but at this point, even the slightest piece of information might be useful. "I always felt she had something on her mind. She was a bit... complicated. She had a bunch of taboo topics and would flip up if I tried to know her better. She rarely talked about anything personal, but a few weeks before she disappeared, she asked about you." 

"Me?" Ji Xiehan was shocked. 

Jiang Xingyu nodded. "Not you specifically, but your family in general. Apparently, your family had some past with her mother, and she thought you could help her answer some questions. I recommended that she ask your sister since they were of the same age, but she said..." 

"You can just say it." Ji Xiehan knew it was not pleasant. 

"She said Feifei was a pretentious b*tch, a backstabber and that she was the reason why her family could not reunite as well as the Ji family's future downfall." He could remember it word by word because it was the only time his little Xia revealed her thoughts in front of him.

"Heh. Is that so?" Ji Xiehan laughed. 

When Jiang Xingyu heard his friend's laugh, for some reason, he felt chills down his spine. Was he being overly sensitive?

Ji Xiehan twirled his wine glass. So his Lanni wasn't that clueless. He had been worried that she would blame him if he did anything to Ji Feifei, considering their 'friendship' .

Then he figured out a problem. 

That was in the past. Since she had lost her memory, what if she thought that Ji Feifei was her friend? He might need to warn her.

Obviously, he didn't know that even in the present, Li Lanni had long figured out Ji Feifei's motives and was currently weaving a trap full of vengeance. 

After exchanging a few more pieces of information, Ji Xiehan looked at his friend. "It doesn't matter what happened between you and Lanni in the past. Since she has chosen to forget you, that's up to you. I'm still going to pursue her. Don't you force her to do anything."

Jiang Xingyu had expected this already. From what he had heard from Ji Xiehan before, he knew that his friend had fallen deeply in love with Lanni. It was the first time Ji Xiehan was showing interest in a woman. How could he let go so easily? 

But the problem was, he loved her too, alright? 

"But if she recovers her memory, remembers me and chooses to rekindle our relationship, you cannot force her into anything either." He finally said. 

Ji Xiehan raised an eyebrow. Indeed, that statement troubled him. Li Lanni hadn't even shown interest in him yet. What if in her subconscience, she still loved Jiang Xingyu and wouldn't fall for another man? For some reason, he selfishly hoped she wouldn't recover her memory. 

But he brushed that thought aside when he thought of their relationship and mocked his friend. "Even if she does remember you, you would be only an ex-boyfriend. Either that or she would remember you as a guy who she dated only on spur because she was emotionally low. After all, she didn't really tell you anything about herself. She even gave you a fake name. That goes to show how 'sincere' she was towards you." 

Jiang Xingyu remained silent, but in his mind, he mocked, 'she hasn't told you about herself either. You had to ask her mother. Not just that, in her mind, you are  even lower than an ex-boyfriend. You're a pervert.' 

Of course, he loved his life very much, so he didn't dare to say this out aloud.
