The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Although she was Li Lanni's mother, she liked Cheng Yu's sketch more. This young girl was so passionate that her sketches looked like they would come to life. It was hard to imagine just how wonderful they would look once she completed them.

Li Lanni, on the other hand, seemed to do it just because she didn't want to let her down. 

While both of them were excellent, Cheng Yu's passion was more encouraging. 

Since she didn't want to distract them, she let them do their thing as she sat aside. 

The more she looked at Cheng Yu's painting, the more she felt that Cheng Yu was born to paint. When she saw that she was almost done with her painting, she slowly asked her, "Little girl, you are so talented. Which family are you from?" 

Cheng Yu paused and nervously replied, "Aunty, I'm from the Cheng family." 

Li Yuming was familiar with this name. "Then you must be Cheng Yu. I've heard Lanni mention you before." 

Cheng Yu was once again flattered. She had thought that  like the Ji family and Ruby's family,  Li Yuming would look down on her after learning her identity. But, as expected of her most admired artist! 

She broke into a smile. 

"Little girl, do you love art very much?" Li Yuming asked, trying to make her voice as friendly as possible. 

"Yes, aunty." Cheng Yu stuttered.

"Then, do you want to be my apprentice?" 

"Eh?" 

Cheng Yu's first reaction was to be shocked. She felt that just she heard something incredible.

What did Li Yuming just say? 

Li Yuming smiled gently. "I'll let you think about it." 

Cheng Yu was dizzy with sudden excitement. Master, I don't need to think!  I'm ready! 

Li Lanni, who had been ignored at the side, could only smile helplessly. 

Cheng Yu had managed to steal her mother's heart so easily. 

One had to know that Li Yuming's love for art was only second to her love for her daughter. 

Now that she had found someone who loved art as much as she did, how could she let her go? 

She even looked like she almost wanted to adopt Cheng Yu.

However, Li Lanni was not jealous. On the contrary, she was relieved. 

If she were to be honest, it was not that she disliked art but she somehow felt it was a responsibility for her. Not a passion. She had always been afraid of letting her mother down. As the daughter of a famed prodigy, who didn't expect her to be a prodigy? 

Now that her mother had found a disciple, she wouldn't be under so much pressure anymore. 

Cheng Yu was overjoyed as she officially became the first apprentice of the great Li Yuming. This was the happiest day of her life! She couldn't wait to tell Luna the good news. 

Li Yuming gave the two of them several points to take not of. Filled with new knowledge and happiness, they slept in Li Lanni's room that night. The next day, both of them left together to the institute. Cheng Yu was walking on clouds all day.

As soon as she was back at Xia Luna's apartment, she jumped onto Xia Luna's back and exclaimed. "Guess what?! I have become an apprentice!" 

Xia Luna looked at her over her shoulder with a smile. "As expected of my Xiao Yu." 

"Guess who my master is?" 

"My mother?" Xia Luna guessed effortlessly. 

"How did you know?" Cheng Yu looked awed. "Did Lanni tell you?" 

Xia Luna laughed. "Of course not. It's not hard to guess. Not many people can make you so happy." 

Cheng Yu sat down and smiled. "You're so lucky... to have her for a mother." 

Xia Luna smiled and kept quiet. Yeah, lucky.

"What is it?" Xia Luna asked when Cheng Yu suddenly looked down.

"I..." 

Cheng Yu thought about it, then just sighed. She didn't want to spoil the mood, "It's nothing. I just recalled something unpleasant." 

Xia Luna knew she had changed the topic, but she nodded silently. And since they were on the topic of parents, she could pretty much guess what Cheng Yu was thinking about. 

So she suggested it instead. "On a side note, Xiao Yu, can you move in with me?" 

"Huh?" Cheng Yu was taken aback. 

Xia Luna languidly sat on the sofa and said to her, "It's quite boring to be on my own."

"But...." could she really just move in? 

That was not the most important part because the most important part was the cost. 

This was a luxurious apartment. Even if she worked her head off, she couldn't afford half of one month's rent. So she really couldn't share the cost. 

A while ago, she was only thinking of asking Xia Luna to let her stay for a few more days as she looked for a new job. And now Xia Luna was asking to live together?! 

Looking at her crestfallen expression, Xia Luna knew she had misunderstood. "I don't need you to pay for anything." 

"How can that be? This is your house." Cheng Yu protested. She hated freeloading on others. 

"You're doing me a favor by keeping me company." 

After saying this, Xia Luna realized she didn't make any sense, and Cheng Yu was feeling more and more awkward, so she just became straightforward. "Fine. Once you get a well-paying job, I'll let you help me. For now, you just have to concentrate on your classes." 

Cheng Yu was embarrassed. Xia Luna was obviously trying to help her out yet she was the one persuading her.

Two days ago, she had had yet another fight with her parents for the same reason as always: they wanted her to quit the art classes. 

But how could she quit? That was her dream! So she outrightly refused to listen to them.

Since she refused to yield, they had threatened to kick her out. She couldn't take their daily yelling anymore. So she packed her essentials and left home on the very same day.

Luckily, she had friends like Lanni and Luna. 

She didn't know how to express her gratitude. She knew they didn't need it, but once she became self-sufficient and wealthy, she would thank them properly.
