The Overnight Chosen Wife: darling, kiss me deeper

Cheng Yu wanted to say something but her lips moved, nothing leaving her mouth in the end.

At last, she flashed a brilliant smile. "Madam Jiang is awesome! If only every mother was like her... oh, part of the reason why she dotes on you so much is because of Jiang Xingyu. Though I’m certain that she would still like you if you didn’t marry him."

She seemed to recall something. "Speaking of Jiang Xingyu, what’s going on with you and him? Last I checked, you were suspecting your feelings for him."

Luna knew she was trying to change the topic but she did not push it—Cheng Yu would embrace her own feelings when the time is right.

"Xingyu and I... well, things happened faster than they should have." Luna sighed.

"And that’s supposed to mean...?" She may have asked the first question to change the topic, but now she was truly curious.

"Well, we progressed too fast so we talked about it and agreed to let nature take its course." She paused when she noticed Cheng Yu giving her an odd look. "Why are you looking at me like that?

"Did you do it with him?" she questioned.

"Yeah..." Luna did not deny it. "Why are you looking at me like I’m a jerk?"

Cheng Yu leaned against the back of her hand. "Aren’t you one though? You just did a hit-and-run."

Luna rolled her eyes. "Just whose friend are you?"

The next day.

After thinking through all the companies they could collaborate with, Luna and Cheng Yu made a decision. Of course, everyone would want to aim for the best, hence they decided to start with Star Art International.

They both woke up earlier than usual and Luna made the final touches while Cheng Yu prepared breakfast.

When they were both done and finished eating, they got ready to leave for Star Art International.

"Whoa, Luna! I didn’t know you would look this dashing in suits!" Cheng Yu gushed." The girl was wearing a red skirt-suit that ended a little above her knee. Her hair was styled in soft waves and she had a little makeup on her face, making her look youthful and elegant. "You look like one one of those overbearing female CEOs!"

"You’re exaggerating." Luna laughed.

"Not at all! I swear, you look like a goddess." Cheng Yu was not exaggerating. In fact, she felt that whatever word she used to compliment her friend would be an understatement.

Luna scanned her friend. "You look beautiful yourself." She was not just saying it to make the latter happier. Although Cheng Yu was wearing an aged, black pants suit, she had kept it in good condition and still looked beautiful and professional in it.

Let’s get going or we will be late." Luna raised her fair wrist to check the time, even her demeanor was like that of a boss.

Star Art international.

Luna and Cheng Yu had managed to book an appointment with Si Yulin—who was now the CEO of Star Art International—so they were not worried about having trouble getting in.

As they entered the elevator, they just happened to come face to face with Cedric.

"Xiao Yu?!" The man was evidently perplexed when he saw her. She looked beautiful!

"Why are you so early? Isn’t the class supposed to start later?" Cheng Yu looked at him quizzically.

"I wanted to meet that Jiang bastard. I heard he would be here for inspection." As soon his words were out, he felt a chill down his spine. only then did he notice Luna who was glaring at him murderously.

Cheng Yu saw the situation and quickly intervened. "Right. Have you met Luna yet?"

"I couldn’t tell. If I met her outside, I would think she is Lanni." He laughed, wondering why the girl seemed to have a grudge against him.

He extended a hand to greet her, which Luna ignored with a smirk.

He leaned to ask Cheng Yu with a whisper, "Why does she seem to hate me?"

Cheng Yu laughed awkwardly. Of course she would hate you. You just called her man a bastard!

Luckily, they soon heard the ping of the elevator as it arrived on the thirteenth floor.

Cedric got off and it was just the two girls left.

"Jiang Xingyu is coming for inspection?" Luna asked.

"Yes. I forgot to tell you about it but he comes for inspection every month. He just happens to be coming today."

"I see." Luna didn’t know whether or not she hoped to meet him. Should she be happy that they may bump into each other?

However, it was nearly impossible. He would be too busy going through all the departments to have any chance to bump into her.

Hence, they quietly made their way to the CEO’s office.

"Hello, you must be Miss Xia and Miss Cheng." The secretary greeted them sweetly. "CEO Si said to go in immediately."

"Thank you." Luna was pleased about not having to wait. After all, she needed to go back home and do her work while Cheng Yu had to go to class. It would be better if the negotiation went as fast as possible. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The secretary opened the door for them and they walked in, then Luna froze in the next second. Sitting on a leather chair not far from Si Yulin’s was none other than the man she was wondering whether she would bump into, Jiang XIngyu.

He looked pleasantly surprised to see her, and she sharply caught him staring at the sliver of her thighs, left out by the suit she was wearing.

She glared at him then flashed a smile at Si Yulin. "Good Morning, CEO Si."

"Hello. The two of you look beautiful." The beautiful woman behind the desk switched to a casual tone. She was already familiar with Cheng Yu since the latter was one of the top students. On the other hand, Luna was Lanni’s sister, and rumor had it that Jiang Xingyu was into her, so she didn’t think she had to be formal with the two of them.

After offering them seats, she deliberately snuc a glance at the man beside her and said, "President Jiang is here too."
