The Overnight Chosen Wife: darling, kiss me deeper

"Honey, would you like to register our marriage?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What do you think of the idea?" She pushed the question back at him.

"I’ve been ready since I met you." He kissed her lips. He had pursued her to be his girlfriend while knowing that she was the only one he wanted to take as his wife, it was only a matter of doing it sooner or later.

"Then I’m ready." Her heart fluttered at the thought of it. Was she really going to become Mrs. Ji?

"Then let’s go." He took her hand and led her through the door.

She pulled back with a laugh. "Why are we rushing? Aren’t you going to let me have a bachelorette party at least?"

His gaze narrowed. "And let your crazy friends invite strippers to perform a dance for you?" He was not going to let anyone seduce his wife-to-be. "Of course, if you really want a party, we can have one tonight. I will be your stripper and dance all night if you want me to."

She tried not to imagine him performing a strip dance. "I’ll take that as a promise. Don’t go back on your word later."

She sounded like she was having too much fun with this. Did he dig himself a pit? He smiled at her dotingly. As long as she was happy.

Just like that, he drove to the civil affairs bureau. The process was much shorter than she expected, and she blinked.

"So, I’m your wife now?" She held two small booklets and raised her eyebrow at them.

In response, he grabbed her waist and kissed her deeply. "And I’m your husband. It’s too late to sneak away from me—just in case you were planning to do such a thing."

"Luckily, I wasn’t planning that." She kissed him back and securely kept the red booklets. "You cannot sneak away either."

The civil affairs building was full of kissing couples who had just gotten married. Xiehan held his wife’s hand and led her towards the car.

"This isn’t your car." She was shocked when the white sports car was suddenly replaced by a ferrari.

He reached into the car and took out a bouquet to give to her. "This is my present to you, Mrs. Ji."

"Thank you, my love." She didn’t expect him to prepare it so soon. "You are already the biggest gift."

"Is that how you thank your husband? Verbally?" He looked deflated.

She shook her head helplessly. "You are still a swindler who takes advantage."

"So, are you going to let me take advantage?" He gazed down at her.

"You can take advantage as much as you want." She tiptoed and locked their lips. This was not their first kiss but she felt her body melt from the kiss. It was much sweeter and she couldn’t help craving for more. Was it because he was her husband now and she was certain that he was truly hers?

"Damned that Luna." She harrumphed when she pulled away.

"Why is it suddenly about Luna?" He did not understand.

"She is so evil! If she told me that marriage felt this nice, we would have gotten married two years ago." She childishly complained.

Xiehan chuckled at her twisted way of thinking. "It doesn’t matter. Aren’t we married now, wife?"

She threw herself into his arms. "Can you call me that again?"

"Wife." he whispered in her ears. "Wife, would you like to have dinner with your in-laws tomorrow? Mother will be overjoyed to see you."

She nodded with a smile, before he drove back to Li Yuming’s villa.

"Where did the two of you run off to?" Li Yuming asked when they returned.

Lanni excitedly threw herself into her arms. "Mom, I’m so happy!"

"Mother, we are back." Xiehan smiled happily.

Li Yuming’s eyes widened when she finally caught their hint. "You got married!"

"Congratulations!" Xingyu stood to pat his friend’s shoulder. "We have to drink some wine to celebrate."

"Let’s drink till we drop!" Luna announced and hugged her sister to congratulate her.

"You kids have fun. I will take care of my grandchildren." Li Yuming promised as she pulled Linhou and Xiaomu to her.

"Sounds like a blast!" Luna winked and kissed her children’s foreheads. "My darlings, mommy and daddy are going to have fun. Stay with grandma, okay?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Let’s call the others too." Lanni took her phone to invite her friends.

Within an hour, they all gathered at Neon Bar. They had booked a private VIP room so no one would interrupt their fun.

"You traitor. How could you get married in secret?" Cheng Yu jokingly reprimanded her when she arrived with Cedric.

"Right? Now we can no longer steal their limelight by registering our marriage before them." Cedric complained.

"You wanted to do that?" Lanni was amused, and Cheng Yu facepalmed.

"Forget him. He is always thinking nonsense." She giggled and sat on the fluffy couch. "Congratulations. I had prepared this for your wedding." Cheng Yu handed over a gift box.

"I prepared something for you too." Xiaoshi took out a small box just as she arrived, hand in hand with Han Xichen.

"Thank you so much, Shishi." Lanni hugged her tightly and received the gift.

"Congratulations on finally becoming Mrs. Ji. I’m sure Xiehan is on the verge of exploding in joy." Han Xichen gave Lanni a small box and teased Xiehan while at it. "If you want, I can secretly give you his silly childhood pictures."

"I’m still your cousin-in-law." Xiehan threatened jokingly.

"Lanni will still love my cousin after seeing them." Xiaoshi laughed.

Lanni chuckled. She actually wanted to see the pictures. However, she would tease him later so she was looking forward to that instead.

"Ruby and Lin Jian aren’t here yet." Xingyu observed.

"And that’s supposed to be a new thing?" Luna rubbed her forehead.

"Let’s wait for them. I will open my gifts while at it." Lanni reached for the boxes.

"Uh... wait..." Cheng Yu tried to stop her, but it was too late.

Lanni had already unwrapped the box and it burst open, pouring all its contents... innumerable small boxes of durex as well as a bottle of lubricant.

"Xiao Yu’s gift...of course it would be this kind of thing." Her face reddened as she tried to force them back into their original box as everyone burst into laughter at her clumsiness.

Lanni pulled Xiehan’s jacket off him, sending the others reeling in laughter.

" Are you going to do it now? Then I should cover my boyfriend’s eyes." Cheng Yu teased and placed her hand over Cedric’s eyes.

"Shut up." Lanni glared at her and took Xiehan’s jacket with the intention to shove all the condoms into the pockets. When she was finally done, she was suddenly skeptical about opening the other presents.

"Open mine. I promise it is not that kind of thing." Xiaoshi muttered.

"I don’t trust you." Lanni harrumphed.

"But I’m so cute. I don’t make fun of people that way." Xiaoshi pretended to be sad about her distrust.

"If it is..." Her words drowned when she opened Xiaoshi’s present. It was actually... a red thong and a matching bra. She hid them away in disbelief. "Can I kill you?"

"Why are you shy? It’s not like you don’t use that kind of thing." Xiaoshi burst into laughter after successfully pranking her.

"You guys are lively." Lin Jian arrived with Ruby in tow, wearing a couples outfit and carrying identical gift boxes. "Are we late?"

"Not at all. The fun has just begun." Luna tried to steady herself as she wiped her eyes which had welled up from laughing too hard.

"We randomly grabbed this. Congratulations, brother and sister-in-law." Ruby presented hers and Lin Jian’s gifts to Lanni.

Traumatized, Lanni accepted the gifts but quickly hid them away to open later. She didn’t dare to look at Xiehan after all the pranks.

"Let’s play a game." Lin Jian suggested.

"No! I don’t trust you." Lanni dreaded. Lin Jian was too naughty and the so-called game might just be his way to endlessly prank and tease her and Xiehan.

"I will suggest a game then." Luna grabbed the chance. "How well do you know each other? We are all paired up tonight which is perfect. I will write a random set of questions then we will spin a bottle. Whoever the bottle faces has to answer a question about their partner. If they cannot answer it, they will do a dare or drink. "
