The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"Who is that girl?" Madam Ji asked curiously. Who was that girl that could make her son fall in love and declare loyalty?

"The name is Lanni. Anyway, we will get married when the time is right." 

Old Master Ji harrumphed. "I bet that girl doesn't even exist, or I would have seen her." 

Madam Ji frowned as she held her chin between her thumb and index finger in thought. "I think I've heard this name before. I wonder why I can't recall it." 

"There's no such girl. Don't let this punk fool you!" He said to his wife before glaring at his son. "Xiehan, you must get engaged. I'm giving you one month. If you do not bring that girl you speak of and introduce her to us, or if she is not good enough to hold up the name of our Ji family, you will have to marry Gu Tianxi or Feng Ci." 

"What?" Ji Xiehan was stunned. Old man, we have been friends for years. How could you just throw an ultimatum at me? What the heck is this? 

When Ji Feifei saw the drama unfold in front of her, she secretly sneered.

Oh, I thought it wouldn't happen.

She knew better than anyone that Madam Ji would never let Li Lanni into the Ji family. 

For starters, she had already created a bad impression of Li Lanni in Madam Ji's mind. Aside from saying that Li Lanni had bullied her many times, she had also 'accidentally' let it slip that Li Lanni had a messy private life. 

The most important fact was that Li Lanni was from a broken family. Would the Ji family really accept a woman with no proper upbringing?

Obviously, once Li Lanni got rejected, Ji Xiehan would be heartbroken. Then she would step up as an excellent younger sister and comfort him. It was common knowledge that men would easily fall in love with the women close to them. 

Besides, who could reject a beauty like her?

Tsk tsk. Just the thought of it made her anticipate. She couldn't wait so long. Old Master Ji should have given him one week! 

No one knew what was happening in Ji Feifei's delusional mind, but Ji Xiehan had a bad feeling about her gaze. What was this brat up to?

...

Meanwhile, in Li Yuming's  villa,

On reaching home, Li Lanni brought Cheng Yu to her studio. Li Yuming liked to have her personal space when painting. So, for her comfort and convenience, Li Yuming had two studios in the villa. The smaller one she had given to Li Lanni since she didn't use it too often.

Cheng Yu couldn't hold back her awe as she looked at the neatly arranged easels, paint, brushes, and palettes. Everything in this studio, even a single graphite pencil, must be expensive and of the best quality. Li Yuming really loved her daughter.

Even though her family was also a wealthy one, they wouldn't ever do such a thing for her. It would be good enough if they didn't throw away the equipment she had bought from her odd jobs' salary.

Li Lanni noticed how awestruck Cheng Yu was and smiled slightly. 

She had never seen anyone so obsessed with art. Thanks to her amnesia, she was like a blank sheet of paper, with no dreams. Sometimes she felt empty inside. She didn't have particular interest in anything and only did things because she should. She didn't understand the feeling of being so obsessed with a dream and pursuing it at all odds. But she did like the brightness in  Cheng Yu's eyes when she painted. So she would do anything to support Cheng Yu's dream.

Wordlessly, she set up everything they needed for practice. When she was done, she turned to look at Cheng Yu, who was still busy exploring her studio. She calmly went to look for her mother in her room.

Luckily, Li Yuming wasn't doing much. She was only folding her laundry. 

She looked up when she heard a knock on the door, "Come in." 

Li Lanni walked in and sat next to her on the bed. "Mom, can I ask for a favor?" 

Li Yuming paused what she was doing and looked at her daughter with a gentle smile. "Go ahead." 

"I brought my friend with me so we can practice painting together. Could you help us out?" 

Li Yuming had a smile blooming on her face. She loved art. But she knew that her daughter didn't like it as much. So when she actively suggested such a thing, Li Yuming couldn't possibly say no to her. Most importantly, she couldn't say no to her daughter even she asked her to pluck the stars from the sky, let alone such a simple favor. "You guys wait for me. I'll be there in a short while." 

"Thank you, mom."Li Lanni nodded happily and left her mother's bedroom. 

On the way back to the studio, she passed by the kitchen and brought some snacks for her friend. 

"My mom will be here in a short while. Why don't we have snacks first?" Li Lanni saw Cheng Yu arranging her precious art tools and said to her.

Cheng Yu's joy was beyond words. She was really going to be taught by Li Yuming!! 

...

By the time Li Yuming arrived, the girls had eaten their snacks and had started sketching. 

She quietly crept up behind them and studied their sketches.

"Loosen your hand a little." 

"Huh?" Cheng Yu was startled by the sudden gentle voice before her ears flushed. Was Li Yuming speaking to her right now? 

"The way you hold your pencil is too tight. It will be easier to sketch is your fingers are as free as possible." 

Cheng Yu adjusted her hand immediately. Li Yuming smiled in approval. The girl probably knew what to do already. Perhaps she had a lot on her mind. 

Li Yuming looked at Li Lanni's sketch and then looked at Cheng Yu's.
