The Overnight Chosen Wife: darling, kiss me deeper

After saying a few more words to the reporters and angering Li Lanni almost to death, Ji Xiehan finally thought he had had enough fun and led Li Lanni inside for shopping.

At that time, Li Lanni, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly dragged him to a corner, between the cloth lines and pinched him hard.

"Darling, don’t pinch too hard. People might think you are trying to murder your man." Ji Xiehan squeezed out the words. He was trying his best to maintain his calm while Li Lanni’s stinging pinch pierced through the skin of his arm.

Li Lanni twisted the tiny skin she was pinching. "What did you call me?"

Ji Xiehan hissed slightly. "Darling, why are you so vicious?... ouch... okay, I’ll call you Lanni."

Li Lanni still didn’t let go of him. She admonished in a whisper. "What was that weird love story you were telling?"

Ji Xiehan felt wronged. What was wrong with what he had said? Hadn’t they met at The Emerald Grand Hotel for the first time?

He only added some truth to her script to make it more believable. "Wouldn’t it be more believable if we added some realistic truth to the script?"

"Realistic script? Are you saying the script I gave you wasn’t realistic, huh?"

"Lanni, my hand’s going to start bleeding. Could you let me off this time? I promise I will follow the script henceforth."

Li Lanni studied his expression. Only after believing that he meant it did she let him off. He had to rub his arm when she finally let him off. What a vicious girl! That stung... he could swear that part of his skin was red and swollen. Luckily it was covered up by his sleeves.

Li Lanni shot him a final. warning look She thought she saw a salesgirl approach them but disappear when she saw the situation. In embarrassment, she dragged Ji Xiehan to the women’s clothing section. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Although she had come here because of Ji Xiehan’s insistence, she did need new clothes for fall.

Just in case she needed help, the sales girls were close by. But they kept a reasonable distance so they wouldn’t make their customers uncomfortable.

Li Lanni preferred to select her own clothes, so she didn’t ask for their help.

She was just looking at a leather mini skirt when the pervert beside her spoke. "That is so beautiful. It would look amazing on you! Darling, go try it out."

Li Lanni rolled her eyes at him. "I didn’t ask for your opinion."

Even then, she was happy that she was not making the wrong choice. If someone else thought it would look on her, it had to be true. She went to try on the skirt together with the top that came with it.

She was out a few minutes later, and Ji Xiehan, who was dazed by her experience, had to cough, or he would have embarrassed himself. Even the sales girls couldn’t contain their awe when they saw her.

"She’s so beautiful!" One of the sales girls whispered to another.

"That skirt accentuates her curves perfectly! I couldn’t tell before but she really is perfectly proportioned in all the right places." The other said, too excited to whisper.

"Her fiancé is the luckiest man on earth."

Seeing their reaction and hearing their whispers, Li Lanni knew she looked good in the skirt. She smiled in satisfaction, and changed back to her clothes then proceeded to continue looking for more clothes.

"Darling, why don’t you try out this dress? Black looks beautiful on you." Ji Xiehan held out a little cotton black dress.

Li Lanni frowned and ignored him.

"Darling," he held out yet another black dress. But this time, it was less plain. It had a red rose embroidered to its chest. "This one is beautiful too. Try it out for me?"

Once again, he was ignored.

Why didn’t she like them? He wondered. The first time they met, she was wearing a black dress that hugged her body perfectly. He was awed by her beauty.

But after that, he never saw her wearing any black clothes; so he wanted to see her in a black dress again

Thinking again, he grabbed a different type of dress. This time, it was a vibrant cream A-line dress with peacock feathers printed onto it. They were too life-like.

Li Lanni took a look and raised an eyebrow. This was definitely one of the most colorful dresses around here. While it looked pretty, she didn’t like its brightness. But.... she knew someone who would totally love it.

So she grabbed it from him and entered the changing room.

Once she was done changing, she looked at herself in the mirror and felt a little uncomfortable. She looked beautiful, but she didn’t like this style.

She liked plain clothes. No matter what color it was, she would prefer it if it was as plain as possible. She preferred using jewelry to break the colors.

Speaking of jewelry, she needed to buy some too.

She changed back to her own clothes before leaving the changing room.

But, she was infuriated to see Ji Xiehan almost drowned in a pile of dresses and accessories.

"May I ask what in the world is going on here?" She crossed her arms.

The man smiled at her. "I picked these dresses and accessories. Darling, please try them out."

She was about to scold him when she saw that people were watching. Obviously, a woman would try on clothes for her man when shopping. It wouldn’t make sense if she rejected him. She could only grit her teeth and try them out. Though, she had to admit that Ji Xiehan’s taste was impeccable.

Aside from that colorful dress, everything else he picked matched her taste.

She decided to buy all those that she had tried out.

When he saw that she had accepted all his choices of clothes, he got even more out of control. He knew she wouldn’t do anything because they were being watched, so he took full advantage of that.

"Darling, this skirt is pretty."

"Darling, this top is gorgeous. One look and I know you would look fabulous in it. Want to prove me right?"

"Darling, you would look sexy wearing these shorts. Maybe you can wear them for me someday, mmh?"

"Darling, try out this dress. Come on."

"Darling..."

Not only did he drown her with clothes, but he also teased her and kissed her cheek a few times too. Then he would apologize like an idiot. "Sorry, darling, you were looking too beautiful. I couldn’t help but kiss you."

Even though he apologized, Li Lanni knew that he was only saying it; he was not in the least bit sorry!

Li Lanni was holding in all her anger. ’Wait till we get out of here. I’ll skin you alive, pervert.’

Even though that was what she thought, she kept a smiling front and tagged along with him.

They went to the jewelry section. Li Lanni picked a few necklaces and bracelets for herself and one for that colorful dress she had picked earlier.

While she looked, she spotted a men’s watch.

Her heart suddenly raced as she stole a peek at a certain someone.

This would certainly look gorgeous on his wrist. It was pretty costly, but it was worth it. Well...

Just as she was thinking of what to do, Ji Xiehan slid next to her and said, "Darling, I saw a beautiful ring. Well, although you wanted our relationship to be private, everyone knows about it now. I should buy you an engagement ring, don’t you think?"

"Ji Xiehan!" She hissed. "Are you out of your mind?! Are you addicted to role-playing? Do you know how annoying you are? I can give up, you know."

Ji Xiehan was terrified, not expecting her to suddenly lose her cool. Luckily, no one was close enough to overhear their conversation.

"You know what? Never mind. I’m giving up on this. You can..."

"Please don’t." He grabbed her arm and pitifully pleaded. "Please. I’m sorry... I will behave myself from now on."

Li Lanni was furious. This man really was ace in acting pitiful. Even she was moved by his pitiful demeanor. She couldn’t stand seeing him look like an abandoned pet.

"Fine. This is the last warning." She said and proceeded to pick the jewelry she had chosen. She then picked out bags and shoes to go with the clothes she had chosen.

True to his word, Ji Xiehan stuck to his place and followed after her silently. He stopped teasing and kissing like he had been doing before

He also stopped pointing out what he thought was pretty and asking her to try them on.

Though she could see that he really wanted to. He had almost slipped up a few times and stopped himself from speaking just in time.

Li Lanni giggled slightly. Why did it feel like the pervert was too cute when acting like a bullied husband?

Wait, husband?!
