The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

Li Lanni didn't know what to say to her mom, so she fled to her room. 

Once she left, Li Yuming shot Ji Xiehan a look of disapproval. "I know how you feel towards my Lanni, but it doesn't mean you can take advantage of her. I don't want any shady business." 

Ji Xiehan felt awkward. Without a doubt, the 'shady business' Li Yuming was talking about was obviously premarital s.e.x and having children before they got married.  Having such a discussion with his mother in law was really... "Auntie, I understand. I will only be with Lanni when she's my wife." 

Li Yuming was pleased with his confident and genuine answer, and she even invited him in for a drink. Of course, she would. She liked Ji Xiehan as she would like her own son. She was even happier that he was going out of his way to ensure Lanni's safety. So she didn't have anything against him getting close to Lanni as long as he didn't do anything to hurt her. 

Ji Xiehan didn't stand on ceremony. Well, that was one of the perks of having a future mother-in-law who liked you. 

Li Yuming personally brewed coffee for him and they had a long, pleasant chat.

Ji Xiehan looked at Li Yuming secretly, trying to assess whether he could ask her about Li Lanni's twin. 

Since she was their mother, she would surely know better than anyone. 

That idiot Jiang Xingyu had spent all morning trying to get Ji Xiehan into helping him investigate Xia. 

Well, he could retrieve the information that the girl had deleted, but he didn't want to go deeper into the matter. Because she was Li Lanni's sister, he respected her privacy, and retrieving her information might just violate that. 

All he wanted to know was where she was and what her name was. 

But looking at the calm Li Yuming, he decided against it. The fact that Li Lanni's twin didn't stay with her mother and sister was enough to state that they didn't have a good relationship. Besides, that girl went by the surname Xia. It was likely that Li Yuming had not seen her since she had a divorce, and it was likely that deep within her heart, she missed her daughter.

He had already poked a huge wound in Li Yuming's heart the last time. He didn't wish to poke another. 

If both he and Jiang Xingyu really reached a dead end, he would ask her. But he had to try his best first. 

Of course, he was only doing this because if he didn't, that unreliable friend of his might think he was lying about Li Lanni having a twin and start wooing his little beauty again. 

What a headache. 

The future mother-in-law and son-in-law duo talked about a few things, and in passing, he even mentioned Star Art International's banquet.  

While they were at it, Li Yuming asked about Ji Feifei once again. "How is Feifei? Lanni always avoids the topic whenever I ask her. Is Feifei back in school?" 

Ji Xiehan couldn't remain silent about it anymore. Li Yuming genuinely cared about Ji Feifei, but that brat obviously hated her daughter. She didn't deserve it. So he took a deep breath and said it. "Actuallly, all those things she was accused of were true." 

Li Yuming put her coffee cup on the table; it had almost slipped off her hand in her shock. "How can that be? Feifei is not that kind of person!" 

Ji Xiehan shrugged. "Well, you don't know her that well." 

"But she is Lanni's friend." Li Yuming mumbled. 

Ji Xiehan sighed. Li Yuming probably didn't know that it was in fact Li Lanni who had brought the truth to light. 

She was the only one in the dark. But he understood her point of view. Ji Feifei had managed to fool even their parents. It wasn't a surprise that she had deceived Li Yuming too. 

But for Li Lanni's sake, this couldn't drag anymore. "Well, I don't know about that, but she's good at putting on an act." 

Li Yuming trusted Ji Xiehan's judgment, but she still wondered, "But she's your sister. How can your sister be such a person?" It wasn't possible for people who grew up in the same household to have different characters, right? 

Ji Xiehan reminded her of one colossal point. "Our parents didn't really spend much time with me when I was young. If that's how they brought her up too, I'm not shocked that she turned up like that." 

Li Yuming couldn't refute this. Indeed, how could parents understand their children if they didn't spend time with them? Now that she thought about it, Ji Xiehan had always been left in the care of nannies and tutors when he was little. He was even scared of his parents as a child. Eventually, his aunt couldn't watch anymore and took him with her to Australia. 

Seriously, what kind of child upbringing was that? Then wouldn't her grandchildren be in trouble?

"But I'm different because I was taught by you, aunty." He quickly defended himself when he saw that she was on the verge of reconsidering letting Li Lanni befriend a man from the Ji family.

Li Yuming looked relieved when Ji Xiehan said that. "When you have children in future, you must pay attention to them and make sure they grow up the right way."

At the same time, Li Lanni was just descending the stairs to grab a glass of water when she overheard this statement. 

She almost tripped on the stairs. What kind of topic was that?! 

If it wasn't for the resemblance between her and her mother, she would start doubting who, between her and Ji Xiehan, was Li Yuming's real child.

And the pervert replied in all seriousness. "I will definitely bring them up in a proper way."  

Not wanting to be part of that awkward conversation, Li Lanni sneakily went to the kitchen making her presence as scarce as possible and when she was done, returned to her room in a similar way.
