The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Li Lanni laughed. Fine, she needed to stop reading such novels already. 

Maybe she should focus her energy on the task at hand. 

...

After class, Cheng Yu went to Xia Luna's, and Ji Xiehan took Li Lanni to best restaurant, and she didn't protest.

For a reason she didn't understand, however, she was nervous. 

Ji Xiehan noticed her nervousness and started chatting with her to lighten up the mood. 

He cleverly didn't mention her twin. Although he was sure that Li Lanni knew about her, he thought it better not to ask her about it. Especially not at such a time. She might just think the only reason he took her out for lunch was to get information from her. 

"Lanni, do you think you could ever date?" As they were chatting, he suddenly asked out of nowhere.

"Huh?" Where was this coming from?

Ji Xiehan laughed lightly at her shocked expression. "I'm just asking. You don't need to answer if you don't want to." 

"Oh..." Li Lanni was relieved for some reason.

Ji Xiehan was wondering when it would be time to confess to her. He was initially planning to wait for her to regain her memory, but now, he was under some crazy ultimatum. If he didn't manage to get her to be engaged with him within one month, he would have to marry either of those girls. 

Damn! The old man must have done it on purpose! 

Seriously, the girl wasn't even particularly friendly with him. How could he get her to agree to marry him within one month? 

That was impossible even if he had the magic of a love potion. 

But thinking about it, his parents must have loose screws in their heads. What were they implying by suggesting marriage with Gu Tianxi? 

Even if all the women in the world died, he would rather die lonely than marry that woman. 

Putting her pride and arrogance aside, she was obviously an ambitious woman with one goal in mind: using the Ji family for her selfish benefits. 

The Gu family wasn't doing well in business in recent years. It wasn't that he had a problem against the company, but the family wanted to use the Ji family to revive their own company. 

The betrothal gifts they were going to ask for were obviously going to be astronomical. It would be shocking if they didn't ask for half of the Ji family's shares in Feng Ji International. Not to mention the woman was a spoilt brat.

Li Lanni might have been spoiled by her mother too, but unlike Li Lanni who was kind and sweet, that woman looked like she could do anything to get what she wanted. Most importantly, anyone who got along with Ji Feifei must be just as evil. 

As for Feng Ci, seriously, his parents were even more blind. 

Many years ago, the Feng family was in an economic crisis. To save their family, they sold off all their shares in Feng Ji International to the Ji family. 

While it looked like a win-win situation, the Feng family couldn't possibly be happy about it. 

What decades worth of friendship?

They were obviously finding ways to recover the company, and from the moves they were making, they were not just trying to take back their shares. They were planning to swallow the whole company. 

How could his parents want him to marry such a woman? If they didn't use their daughter to make Ji Xiehan give them back the company, they wouldn't be the Feng family. Seriously his parents must have become muddle-headed with old age.

Li Lanni realized that at some point, Ji Xiehan's mind had drifted and he was thinking about something. What was he thinking about so seriously?! He looked quite handsome though...

"You didn't have a good night of sleep? You have dark circles under your eyes." Unconsciously, her voice became gentle with slight concern in her voice.

Her sweet voice jolted him back. 

When he heard what she had just asked, his ears flushed with a pale scarlet color and joy flashed in his eyes, "Are you worried about me?" 

"What? No..." It was Li Lanni's turn to blush. Indeed, her question sounded like she cared about him. 

His dark circles were so slight that one needed to pay attention to notice them. But even then, she somehow found them an eyesore on his handsome face. 

She quickly defended herself. "I'm just worried... that my mom would be worried about you." 

She scolded herself once she said that. 

Now it sounded like she was bringing him home. 

Ji Xiehan didn't mind her words. They were a good sign. Perhaps in her heart, she was starting to care about him even just a tiny bit. 

His lips curled upwards to reveal a sliver of his snow-white teeth. 

Li Lanni looked aside with a cough. Her heartbeat had accelerated slightly.  Someone tell this man that what he's doing is illegal! 

Ji Xiehan looked at her blushing face and couldn't resist the urge to tease her a little more. 

In all the twenty-seven years of his life, he never would have thought that his heart would be stolen by a little girl seven years younger than him. And she was so innocent that it felt like puppy love. 

Neither of them knew that at this time, trouble was brewing in the Ji family mansion. 

Madam Ji had finally figured out. 

"That girl called Lanni. I think I remember her now. But isn't that the name of the girl who bullied you in school? Xiehan couldn't have fallen for that girl, right?" She asked Ji Feifei worriedly. 

Ji Feifei shrugged, putting on a wronged expression. "I don't know. I don't know if brother would like such a girl..." 

Madam Ji frowned. She had a bad feeling, especially about the surname Li. What if that girl was the person she was thinking about? It wouldn't be fun if his son fell for such a girl. 

"Feifei, do you have that girl's picture?"
