The Overnight Chosen Wife: darling, kiss me deeper

At the hospital, Ji Xiehan was beside himself. He paced back and forth on the corridor as though his wife was in labor. It made one wonder what he would look like in the future when his future actually went into labor.

As soon as the door to Li Lanni’s room opened, he rushed towards the doctor and asked, "How is she?"

"Are you Li Lanni’s family?" The doctor asked him patiently.

"Yes. How is Lanni?" Ji Xiehan anxiously asked again.

"She is out of danger. She fainted because of shock. For the next few days, try not to exhaust her emotions."

"Can I see her now?"

"She is asleep, but certainly you can. But make sure that you don’t disturb her sleep...."

Before the doctor could finish speaking, Ji Xiehan rushed into the room.

While the doctor who was left behind sighed. These people, how could he just ignore his instructions and rush off? Forget it; the patient’s condition was not that serious anyway.

Inside the ward, Li Lanni was sleeping peacefully between the white sheets.

Ji Xiehan approached her slowly and gently caressed her face.

"You scared me." He mumbled in a whisper.

He was initially shocked that Li Lanni didn’t react much when she was almost knocked dead, then just as he was about to ask, she simply fainted. She must have had a slow reaction.

"Lanni..." at this moment, Li Yuming rushed in.

Ji Xiehan clenched his fist. He had not informed Li Yuming. Well, he just didn’t want Li Yuming to be worried and was determined to take care of her on his own.

"Aunty, how did you..." he couldn’t bring himself to ask.

"It’s all over the news." Li Yuming said, rushing over to hold her daughter’s hand. "How is she? Is she hurt? What did the doctor say?"

Ji Xiehan’s heart ached when he saw how worried Li Yuming was. "She is out of danger."

Then he recalled what she had just said and frowned. "Aunty, you said it’s in the news?"

Li Yuming took out her phone and showed him the headlines.

A string of glaring titles read: [Prince charming to the rescue]

[Hero saving his belle]

[Ji Xiehan saved his damsel like a knight in shining armor]

Ji Xiehan’s first reaction was what the heck?

Were these reporters crazy?!

Life was almost lost, and they were focusing on the romantic side of it? Shouldn’t they be focusing on important facts? For example, they should have used that time and effort to track down the driver of that truck and punish him for driving carelessly. He had scared Lanni to the point she...

Seriously, no one ever took accidents seriously unless it happened to them.

He didn’t know that he was focusing on the wrong point too, and that it was going to drive a wedge between him and Li Lanni in the near future.

...

It was night already, and Li Lanni was yet to wake up. Because Ji Xiehan was sticking onto Li Lanni’s side, Li Yuming went to buy food for him. If not, the poor man might starve to death.

Li Yuming couldn’t help but feel touched. She had thought that she was the only person who loved Li Lanni. It turned out; there was someone who loved her even more than she did.

She knew Ji Xiehan’s favorite foods, so it was easy for her to decide what to buy. She also bought congee since she knew that Li Lanni would wake up soon.

At the same time, in the hospital, Ji Xiehan’s phone rang.

As he didn’t want to disturb Li Lanni’s rest, he went out to receive it.

"Hello?"

No one answered.

"Is this a prank of sorts?" He was going to hang up when he heard Li Lanni’s voice. "Ji Xiehan?"

His first reaction was to turn sharply and look in the direction of Li Lanni’s ward. Had she woken up?

Wait. The cell phone number was not hers.

Before he asked, the girl spoke again. "Brother-in-law, how is my sister?"

Ji Xiehan then realized that he must be speaking to Li Lanni’s twin. There was such an insane level of similarity? Even their voices were the same?! Then wasn’t he and Jiang Xingyu in trouble?

He was about to hang up on her, but thanks to what she had called him, he unconsciously spoke to her gently. "She is out of danger."

"Brother-in-law, I need to tell you something. Could you meet me behind the hospital building?" Xia Luna pleaded.

Ji Xiehan glanced at Li Lanni’s ward. If he left, who would take care of her?

The girl had already hung up.

Ji Xiehan gripped his phone tightly as he contemplated. She must have something important to say if she was even willing to meet him in person.

He couldn’t forget what a headache that girl had given him. She was so good at programming that even he, as a man, had to give it to her.

When he was studying abroad, he had dabbled with computer science and programming in his free time and was well versed in it. Even then, the girl was an expert at it.

It hurt his pride as a man. He only had the advantage of speed against her.

Aside from this, he was wary against this girl for some reason. Yet now she was asking to meet him...

But then again, this was a golden opportunity.

Thinking about it, he signaled for a nurse and had her take care of Li Lanni. Then he went to the back of the hospital building - after sending an SOS to Jiang Xingyu, of course.

Once there, he looked around but didn’t see any girl. He frowned but was patient. Maybe she was not here yet. He would give her fifteen minutes at most.

At this time, in Li Lanni’s ward.

The nurse brought one of her medical books to read while watching over Li Lanni.

Then the door opened. She looked up and was shocked out of her wits. "Aren’t you...!"

She freaked out and looked at the hospital bed, then saw Li Lianni.

She was even more confused. There were two of the patient?

"Hush." Xia Luna said. "I’m her sister. But you cannot tell anyone I was here. Do you understand?"

The nurse subconsciously nodded under her piercing gaze. For Li Lanni’s safety, she didn’t dare to leave the two of them alone. Xia Luna knew this and was displeased, but she kept quiet. Whatever.

She went over to Li Lanni’s side and took her hand. "Lanni, thank goodness you are alright. I was so worried." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"I thought, I thought I would lose you again..." she was almost on the verge of tears.

"Luna..." at that moment, Li Lanni’s eyelids fluttered, and she opened her eyes.

"Lanni..." Xia Luna was excited when she saw her wake up and hugged her tightly.

Li Lanni was dazed for a moment and then revealed a smile when the hug broke. "I’m alright, Luna. Don’t worry; I was just shocked."

"You bad sister. Don’t you scare me like this again." Xia Luna reprimanded her emotionally.

"Yes, yes. I won’t." Li Lanni quickly consoled her.

When the nurse saw that Li Lanni had woken up and seemed to have a close relationship with Xia Luna, she was relieved. To give them some space, she left the room and waited outside the room, in case of emergency.

When his fifteen minutes were over, Ji Xiehan called.

Xia Luna answered with a trembling voice. "Brother-in-law, please wait a moment. I’m almost there." Then she hung up without giving him time to reply.

Li Lanni had an interesting expression. What was that all about?

Now she had a clear view of Xia Luna. "You came out without a disguise?"

"I was in female clothes when I saw the news, so I just rushed out."

"Oh... and what’s the deal with Ji Xiehan?" She laughed.

"I had to trick him. I don’t want him to know I’m here."

Li Lanni burst into laughter. Her sister was too naughty.

They chatted for a while, exchanging recent information, then Xia Luna stood up to leave.

"Lanni, I have to go now. I cannot stay..." for too long.

Before she could finish her statement, the door was opened.

Xia Luna was shocked to see Ji Xiehan standing at the doorway. But she was even more shocked when she saw Jiang Xingyu and Li Yuming standing behind him.
