The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

A loud clutter interrupted her. When Li Yuming heard that name, she unknowingly dropped her fork, making the rice on her plate scatter.

Li Lanni was stunned by the sudden loud clutter. She stopped and looked at her mother.

"Lanni, what did you say just now?" Li Yuming looked evidently pale. The two words, 'Xia Luna', were like a hex to her. 

Li Lanni didn't understand what had happened, so she hesitatingly continued. "Uhm...she claimed to be my twin. I thought that if it's true, you would definitely know, so..." 

"Don't meet her again." Li Yuming interrupted her and coldly said. 

"Huh? But... why not?". Li Lanni was shocked by the sudden change in Li Yuming's mood.

Li Lanni was initially going to ask if Xia Luna was her twin, but from her mother's reaction, it couldn't be any more obvious. 

"Whether you are twins or not, the Xia family has nothing to do with us, and that girl has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?" 

Li Lanni couldn't understand her mother's reaction. Usually, shouldn't a mother be thrilled when she hears news of her daughter? Why was her mother shocked instead? 

But the main point was, "Mom, why didn't you tell me I have a twin?" 

Li Yuming had a turmoil of emotions in her head. She looked right at Li Lanni and enunciated every word clearly, "As I said, she has nothing to do with you." 

"How can she have nothing to do with me? We are sisters, aren't we? Mom, I don't  know what reasons you have for not liking her. But I am old enough to know such important things.  I am not a kid anymore. Please, can you not put me in the dark and tell me?"  Her tone was neither timid nor overbearing as she patiently asked.

She could see turmoil in her mother's eyes. But she didn't understand why. Why did she have such a huge repulsed reaction?

Li Yuming had a bitter smile. If she didn't handle this matter properly, it might lead to an argument, and that was one thing she didn't want. She didn't want to lose her daughter again.

Li Yuming sighed and looked into her daughter's eyes and asked her,

"Why did she say she was here?" 

Li Lanni remembered her sister's words clearly. "Because she misses me....and wants to reunite."

"If she really misses you, why didn't she come here to our home? Why would she choose to meet you in secret?" 

This, Li Lanni didn't know either. She could only use logic to speculate," Because she didn't know how to face you after being away for so many years?" After all, siblings could easily break the awkwardness brought by decades of separation. It was harder for parents. 

She thought she made sense but Li Yuming facepalmed. "Your naivety is off the charts. Do you really believe her? Do you really think she misses you? The Xia family is a cl.u.s.ter of sly foxes. All of them are treacherous, including your biological father. 

That girl might be of the same age as you, but she is more cunning than a thirty-year-old. 

You're only a trophy for her to inherit the Xia family's business and that's just one of her minor aims." 

"What do you mean?" Li Lanni was puzzled. What did the Xia family business have to do with her?

Li Yuming was frustrated. She took a deep breath and said, "Why don't you ask your 'dear beloved' twin? You seem to trust her already anyway. Why ask me?" 

Li Lanni was speechless. Why did her mother sound like she was losing a treasure? Moreover, she realized that not only did her mother hate her father and sister, but she also seemed to hate the entire Xia family to the core.

And what did she mean 'you seem to trust her already'? 

Though, thinking about it, she had to admit that although they had only met once, she did feel safe around Xia Luna. A large part of her believed that Xia Luna wouldn't hurt her. She wondered if it was because of what people called the bond between twins.  

But no matter what, her mother loved her very much. She knew that no matter what feud there was between her mother and the Xia family, all her mother wanted was the best for her.

She wouldn't want their relationship to go sour just because of some faraway twin who had suddenly appeared. Besides, she was yet to know whether that twin of hers was a good person or a snake pretending to be good. She couldn't only use her instincts as a deciding factor.

So she hugged Li Yuming and cozied up to her. "Mom, what are you saying? I will only trust you."

Hearing this, Li Yuming's expression softened. 

"Mom, I haven't seen you try out the braised beef yet. It is so yummy; the chef must be in a good mood today!" She used Li Yuming's fork to pick up a piece of braised beef and put it close to Li Yuming's mouth. 

Li Yuming ate it, her heart flooding with warmth and love. "You little brat. You should save such s.u.c.k.i.n.g up skills for your future husband."

Xia Luna only went back to her apartment much later. She was surprised to see the uninvited guest in her living room. "Xiao Yu?" 

Cheng Yu looked over at her. "There you are. Can I spend the night here tonight... wait. You went out without your disguise?" 

"It would be hard to explain if Lanni thought her twin was a man." Xia Luna dismissed. 

"I know, but... shouldn't you have changed back after meeting her? Someone could see you!" Chen Yu was vexed.

"I was careful." 

Of course, she didn't know that she had been seen by not one person but two people.
