The Overnight Chosen Wife: darling, kiss me deeper

Li Lanni took in a deep breath. Of course, she was nervous! She had realized that the more she lived, the more she felt she didn’t know herself well enough, and no one actually knew her.

There were too many things that contradicted what her mother said about her past... And her mother wouldn’t lie to her. Right?

To put it bluntly, every new fragment of memory proved that she had lied to her mother or hidden things from her, or both. And some of those things... might be more serious than they appeared.

Why would she do such a thing, when her mother loved her so much...

She wondered just what shocking memory she was going to recover this time.

Before this, she would never have thought that one day she would start developing fear towards herself. Was this even normal?

If she had a choice, she would select to remember only the sweet and honest memories and forget all about the lies.

But soon, she realized that she had nothing to worry about. At least not for now.

Because hypnosis failed.

That was right. Although she was already calm and didn’t have a tough psychological barrier, hypnosis still failed.

Doctor Zhao was stunned. As one of the most proficient doctors in this field, this kind of failure was a first. He looked at the little girl before him. "What have you been doing since the last hypnosis session?"

Li Lanni thought for a moment and then replied, "Does going to school count?"

The middle-aged doctor nodded slowly. There was nothing wrong with going to school. A person’s daily activities shouldn’t actually have any effect on their chances of being hypnotized. It still didn’t make any sense. Unless... the girl herself didn’t really want to recover her memory.

"For now, continue taking your medication on time and take care of yourself. Don’t overexert your brain."

Li Lanni nodded and left the office in a daze, leaving Doctor Zhao and her mother in the room to discuss about her condition.

"What do you mean hypnosis failed? Is my Lanni going to have amnesia forever?" Li Yuming was worried about her daughter.

"At the moment, nothing is predictable. If she continues...."

The voices slowly faded away as Li Lanni’s attention was piqued by something else in the distance.

At the end of the corridor, a thin man was facing her direction. He had a cap on his head and a scarf bundling him up tightly to purposefully cover his face.

Li Lanni frowned as she looked at him. Did he transmigrate from winter? Seriously, such clothes in summer should be inexplicable torture.

Then there was that strange feeling... the paranoid alertness she always had when that stalker made his weird moves. Wait! This man was clearly not here to seek medical treatment. And he was looking at her absentmindedly. Was he the stalker?

When he realized that she was looking at him, he was startled and ran away, practically disappearing in two seconds.

Li Lanni’s first reaction was to run after him. Alas, she couldn’t even find which direction he ran off to. But she wasn’t disappointed as she saw that the man had dropped his watch in a hurry.

Li Lanni took out a handkerchief as a natural reaction and picked it up.

Her eyebrows scrunched up. She had seen this watch before.

Not once but many times. Who did it belong to...

Never mind. It wouldn’t hurt to get someone to check the fingerprints.

"Lanni, what are you doing? Why did you simply run off?"

Li Lanni heard her mother’s footsteps, so she quickly wrapped the watch in her handkerchief and kept it away in her purse and looked at her mother pitifully, "Nothing, mom. Are you done? Let’s go home. I’m famished... I want to eat your yummy delicacies."

Li Yuming smiled at her daughter’s spoiled tone. Fine, she had spoiled her rotten. "Okay, mommy will cook something delicious for you. Let’s go."

After distracting her mother’s attention successfully, she followed after her mother calmly.

Never in a million years would Li Yuming know that her spoiled little daughter was only trying to shift her attention.

...

In the end, Li Lanni didn’t need to get a fingerprint check. She remembered the owner of this watch on her own.

She had seen it several times on someone’s wrist, and that person was Ah Chen!

She had a deep impression of it because it was a limited edition custom made watch, the one and only of its kind. She had even heard Cheng Yu rumble on about how Ah Chen’s brother owned a jewelry and ornament brand, and that he had especially made that watch for Ah Chen.

Simply put, there was no way anyone else would have an identical watch. It had to be Ah Chen’s.

Anger flickered in her eyes. That damned fellow!

...

Lianni sauntered to Art Classroom 1 in annoyance first thing on Monday morning.

Ah Chen was surprised to see her; it was not every day that Li Lanni would come to meet her on her initiative. He stood excitedly and greeted her, "Goddess, do you need something?"

Pa!

A slap echoed in the air.

Ah Chen was struck dumb by that slap. Half of his face was numb by the slap.

"Was it fun?!"

Ah Chen rubbed his cheek. It hurt so much that he almost got angry. "Was what fun? Goddess, I don’t understand."

Li Lanni threw the watch at him.

Ah Chen looked surprised, then he smiled. "My watch! How did you find it?" Wait, what did this have to do with the slap?

He was yet to register this thought when another slap came assaulting the other side of his handsome face. He had been backhanded mercilessly.

"Come on! Why did you hit me?"

His feigned ignorance only riled up Li Lanni. "Acting innocent? You perverted stalker! You have the guts to stalk people but you don’t have the balls to admit it? You dare to act innocent?

Was it fun messing with me? Do you know that because of you, I spent several nights in fear? Do you know how threatened I felt? Do you?"
