The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"I had a meeting with people from Star Art International." She answered vaguely, mainly because she didn't want to talk about Jiang Xingyu. She didn't want to remember him. 

Cheng Yu was even more convinced by her previous hypothesis. "Lanni, although I really want to go to Star Art International, I want to use my own abilities. You didn't need to bother your mom about this." 

Li Lanni tittered. So the girl thought that she had used her mother's name to secure the contract for her? 

One had to know that as long as it was anything related to painting, Li Yuming's name was akin to having a cheating machine. There was no request Star Art International wouldn't fulfill. They would totally overlook everything else.

But Li Lanni didn't want to use this approach because she knew what her friend was thinking. Seeing that she was right, a smile escaped her lips as she hugged the helpless girl. "Don't worry! I didn't ask my mom for help. In truth, I only presented your drafts to someone in Star Art International, and they liked it, so they sent this contract to me. This should be considered using your own abilities, right?" 

"Really?" Cheng Yu felt flattered that people from Star Art took an interest in her work. No wonder Li Lanni had taken many of her drafts the day before. She had thought that Li Lanni only wanted to admire them. 

"Thanks, Lanni. I can't express my gratitude in words." Cheng Yu felt indebted to her. 

"Xiao Yu, we are friends." 

Cheng Yu was stunned. Li Lanni had not addressed her so intimately in a long time. 

But this name did remind her of something that had almost slipped her mind. 

"Lanni, about..." 

Just as she was about to speak, Li Lanni's phone rang.

Li Lanni excused herself before cautiously answering. It was an unknown contact number, but she had an inkling of who it might be. 

"Lanni, have you already left home?"

When she heard that voice, she knew that she had been right. It was the pervert. 

"Uhm. I'm in school." 

Ji Xiehan sounded slightly dissatisfied. "The contract should be sent to you soon. Since you want to be in the same class as your friend, it might be too late if you only get it this evening. I'll ask them to send it to your school instead." 

When she heard that he was concerned about making her and her friend happy, Li Lanni couldn't resist the smile that surfaced on her lips. So that pervert wasn't entirely useless. "Thank you for your concern, but I received the contract already." 

Hearing this, Ji Xiehan was relieved. "That's good then." 

"Thank you." 

"Huh?" Ji Xiehan was shocked by the sudden expression of gratitude by Li Lanni.

Li Lanni unknowingly gripped her phone. "I forgot to thank you yesterday." 

A light smile appeared on Ji Xiehan's face. He wouldn't feel this happy even if he signed a contract worth hundreds of billions. But how could he let go of such a golden opportunity? He sounded like he had been dealt an enormous deal of injustice. "Lanni, is that all you have to say? A verbal thank you? Where is your sincerity?" 

And so, Li Lanni was guilt-tripped yet again. She didn't like owing people.

When he didn't hear her say a word, Ji Xiehan was happy that he had achieved his goal, so he said, "Have a meal with me this evening." 

Li Lanni coughed. Just how much did guys like having meals with girls? First, it was Ah Chen and now Ji Xiehan? 

But unfortunately, "I have an appointment this evening. Maybe we can reschedule it?" 

The previous evening, she was mentally exhausted after leaving Feng Ji International, so she had asked Ah Chen to reschedule their dinner to today. 

What kind of appointment would be scheduled in the evening? Ji Xiehan wondered. 

It must be a dinner, and from his manly instincts, it had to be one of the same purposes as his. Someone must be trying to pursue his Lanni. 

Gritting his teeth, he agreed to go on the next day before hanging up. 

What the heck! 

Why were there so many men going after his little beauty? Now, even his best friend had joined the queue. How troublesome. It seemed... he would have to step up his approach.

The call on Li Lanni's phone was like a wake-up for Cheng Yu. She had become too sentimental earlier when Li Lanni suddenly called her Xiao Yu. She was about to come clean and tell Lanni everything.

But now that she thought about it, that might have hurt Lanni's feelings. She wouldn't be able to beat it if Li Lanni got angry and stopped speaking to her. She was her best friend ever. Moreover, it wasn't an appropriate time to confess.

When Cheng Yu saw that Lanni was done with the call, she quickly adjusted her mood and hopped over to her and drowned with her so many why's, what's and how's regarding the upcoming training classes.

But while doing so, she secretly wondered if the person Li Lanni was speaking to just now was Ah Chen. 

If it was Ah Chen, that would be good. Not many people knew it, but Cheng Yu was aware of Ji Xiehan's intentions towards Li Lanni. 

Although he was respectable and all that, he was Ji Feifei's brother. Just for this reason, Cheng Yu didn't trust him either. 

A snake could only come from a family of snakes. Since such a vile creature as Ji Feifei came from the Ji family, it said a lot about their child-upbringing skills. 

...

That evening, Li Lanni had a meal with Ah Chen. 

Contrary to her expectation, the guy was rather calm. He didn't bring up any unpleasant conversations, and they simply had their meal like normal friends would. 

Li Lanni didn't know that while she was having a meal with a senior schoolmate, a certain someone was having a meal with her mother. 

Who else could it be?
