The Overnight Chosen Wife: darling, kiss me deeper

Xia Luna glanced at him like he was a fool. Ignoring his words, she swatted his hand away and made to leave. He grabbed her hand again before she could make the second step. "You said we would be together! Is this what you meant?" He complained, looking at her like she was a jerk. "I said we would be together once all this is settled—and it’s far from that." Xia Luna countered coldly. "Don’t be so hard on me." He daringly wrapped his arms around her to coax. "I miss spending time with you, just like in the past. Do you remember how happy we were when we first met in Summer village?" Xia Luna pushed his hands off and rolled her eyes. "That was the second time, you dunce. The first time we met was in Scarlet Bar. You were so annoying that I could never forget it in a million years." Jiang Xingyu smiled, proud of himself. "You actually remember our first meeting. Was it significant to you too?" "Of course. How can my worst day not be significant?" She huffed, and Jiang Xingyu grinned. Was it so difficult to admit that she liked the time they spent together in the past? "You love me, don’t you?" He taunted, mischievously circling her. "You’re just like your sister—denying the feelings you know you feel deep down in your heart." The second part was meant to be his own thoughts but he said it out aloud and as expected, she glared daggers at him. "I’m not my sister, Jiang Xingyu!" "Sorry, I..." he realized that she didn’t even seem to be listening to him. Intending to poke fun, he pulled off the baseball cap and scarf that were covering her head and face. "You!" Before she could explode, he leaned over and pressed a kiss on her cheek. When she tilted her head in shock, he took the opportunity to press another kiss but this time on her lips. Xia Luna was inatriculate. It took her a while to take in the fact that he had just kissed her. "What are you..." He was about to grab her and hug her while she was still confused when a sudden force pulled him away, then a punch landed on his face before he could realize what was happening. "What the...!" A series of punches intending to kill assaulted his face and chest before he could make head or tail of the situation. Caught offguard, Jiang Xingyu was only able to fight back several punches later. He tacked the incomer to the ground and only then was he able to see their face. "You?" "Jiang Xingyu! How dare you!" "What’s going on?" Xia Luna was startled witless too, not expecting to suddenly become a witness to such a vicious fight. The men kept pushing each other to the ground and fighting like the world was coming to an end. "Somebody stop them!" Xia Luna shouted, unable to separate them on her own. "What’s going on here? What’s wrong woth the both of you?" Madam Jiang rushed out after hearing the vicious punches fill the air and Xia Luna’s shout. "Stop! Both of you!" As though a switch had been pressed on them, Jiang Xingyu and Lin Jian stopped fighting and pulled away from each other but still glared at each other angrily. "Is this how you came to say hello? Wow, hello to you too!" Jiang Xingyu huffed in anger, straightening up his clothes and wiping the drops of blood at the corner of his mouth. "Because you are a freaking traitor, you shameless man!" Lin Jiang cursed, resisting the urge to run over and punch his guts out. "Calm down, both of you." Madam Jiang held Lin Jian’s hand. These two were friends since their childhood. Why the hell were they suddenly fighting? She turned to Lin Jian to ask, "What did Xingyu do?" Lin Jian had calmed down a little but he was still angry, glaring at Jiang Xingyu as he explained. "Aunty, I only came over to say hello to you, then I was greeted with such a shameless and disgusting scene." "What disgustung? You are the one who is disgusting!" "You shut up!" Madam Jiang glared at Jiang Xingyu before turning back to Lin Jian. "What disgusting scene did you see?" Xia Luna felt something bad coming... "What the hell is he doing with Xiehan’s girlfriend? I saw him even... urgh! It’s too awful to be talked about." Xia Luna clenched her fists while Lin Jian pointed at Jiang Xingyu with a shaky finger. "Xiehan takes you as his best friend. Is this what friends do to each other? He even saved your life. Is this how you repay the man who treats you better than a biological brother would?" Seeing Madam Jiang’s and Jiang Xingyu’s pale expressions, he thought the former was shocked while the latter was guilty so he continued. "Aunty, I’m not lying to you. She is Xiehan’s woman. If you ever read online gossip you would know." He then pointed at the equally pale Xia Luna. "And you! I don’t even know what to say to you. Xiehan loves you so much. How dare you betray him? Would you be so happy to come in between two friends?" It was only when he was done rambling that he realized something wasn’t right. A cheating couple might be too embarassed to say a word when they were caught in the act but why was Madam Jiang not saying anything? Instead of shock, she looked anxious instead. "What’s wrong, aunty?" "Well..." Madam Jiang snuck a glance at Xia Luna then smiled back at Lin Jian. "I’m sure that’s not what it is. Xingyu would never betray Xiehan. Come in, let’s get you some ice for your face." "No way! Why are you defending him? He was kissing her!" Lin Jian blurted out. "That..." Madam Jiang didn’t know what to say anymore. "There’s nothing wrong with that." Xia Luna spoke up at the side, stunning everyone. "He can kiss me if he likes. After all, we have dated before. We wouldn’t be betraying anyone." "What nonsense are you spouting?" Lin Jian exploded. "I’m not Li Lanni. I’m her sister. Now, if you would apologize to my man." Madam Jiang’s eyes went wide at the same time as Jiang Xingyu’s. What did Xia Luna just call him? Lin Jian was shocked too, but with a different reason. This was not Li Lanni, but her sister instead? How was that even possible? There was such a thing as twins in this but how come he had never heard of Li Lanni’s twin? And the main point was, "Is she the girl you said you were dating a year ago—the one that disappeared mysteriously?" He asked Jiang Xingyu in shock. Realizing that Xia Luna was glaring at him, he coughed and flashed her a smile. "Sorry I beat up your man. I seriously thought you were Lanni and Seriously, how can there be two of you? Shouldn’t there be three—one for Xingyu, one for Xiehan and one for me?" "And the blabbermouth Lin Jian is back." Jiang Xingyu sighed in defeat. "Wait. I’ll just confirm something." Lin Jian grabbed his phone and dialled Ji Xiehan’s number. "Why is his phone off? Is it beacuse he is so upset with the two of you that he switched his phone off so he can sulk on his own?" "Can you get him to shut up?" Xia Luna massaged her temples. She was sleepy and Lin Jian’s endless chatter was driving her nuts. "Can you please shut your trap! My woman wants you to be quiet." Jiang Xingyu gladly took up his role as the protective boyfriend. When Xia Luna glared at him, he shrugged like he had done nothing wrong. "You just called me your man. Doesn’t that make you my woman?" "Whatever Jiang Xingyu. I’m too..." before she could finish her statement, she fainted. "Luna!" "Luna!" Jiang Xingyu held her before she could hit the ground as Madam Jiang sprinted over in alarm. "What did you do to her?" "I didn’t do anything." Jiang Xingyu protested and carried her into the house. He gently lay her on the couch in the living room. "Call the family doctor." "Don’t!" Xia Luna suddenly woke up with a start. "Luna, you’re awake! I was so worried." Madam Jiang touched Xia Luna’s forehead worriedly. "I’m just exhausted, I guess." Xia Luna tried to sit up. Her head hurt. "Does your head hurt? Are you sure we shouldn’t call a doctor?" Madam Jiang rattled off and grabbed her phone. "I’m really okay aunty." Xia Luna insisted. "Besides, it’s already enough that one more person now knows about me." "Him?" Jiang Xingyu glanced at Lin Jian who had followed them in. "Don’t worry about him. He may be a blabbernouth but he knows that if he rattles about that, I will kick his guts." "I hope you are right."
