The Overnight Chosen Wife: darling, kiss me deeper
"Little troubleshooter, we meet again. If you are still thinking of trying to get away, you better give up that silly idea." Ji Xiehan said, pinning her against the wall. Li Lanni pushed her fists against his chest. "Is this how you say ‘Hi’ to all your interviewers, Mr. Ji?" "There is no interviewer and certainly no interviewee." The man grinned devilishly. "There is only a husband and a wife. My darling, how are you going to compensate for all the emotional damage you caused me by slipping away?" "What?" Heavens... just what had she gotten herself into? ….. Her life almost came to an end because of a tragic accident but instead, she lost her memory. Who would have thought that just when she was starting to get used to her new life, she would get trapped in a whirlwind engagement? Out of all kinds of injustice fate could do to her, why did her fiancé have to be that white-haired pervert?! "You better not fall in love with me!" she snarled at the man grinning before her. Ji Xiehan's smile deepened. "Are you... kidding me? Why would I fall in love with you?" Li Lanni: "You better mark your words." The man grinned and helplessly shook his head, how could he fall in love with the woman he was already in love with? Taking up the challenge to crawl into her heart, Ji Xiehan promised himself to always treat her well and love her. (Warning: This book features mature content) ...

An unfamiliar world (3)
She got tired just looking at them so she shrugged and gave up. She lay on her bed with a sigh. Without knowing it, she fell asleep.
...
The next day.
Li Lanni went for a stroll around the backyard with her mother.
With the calm and warmth livening up the atmosphere, she finally curiously asked, "Don't I go to school or work?"
Her mother replied, "You go to school. You are currently in the same University as Feifei."
"Mmh." So she was a student. She shouldn't be that old.
Li Lanni scolded herself at that thought. Her mother was right here. She could just simply ask, couldn't she? She was about to ask more details like her age, what she was studying and which year she was in when a soft voice resounded from behind them. "Lanni, Aunty!"
It was Ji Feifei. She strutted over to them and waved a plastic bag slightly. "Lanni, I came to see you. Look, I bought you some of the cookies from Royaume, it's a fairly new pastry shop. You will love them!"
"Oh." Li Lanni said but did not reach for the cookies. Even then, she smiled a little to acknowledge her presence.
Ji Feifei did not notice Li Lanni's coldness and smiled at Li Yuming radiantly. "Aunty, didn't you have to meet someone today? You don't have to worry too much about Lanni. I will take care of her."
Li Yuming liked this young woman very much. She and Li Lanni had known each other for many years and had grown even closer in recent years. Being with a close friend of the same age might be just what Li Lanni needed to lighten up her dull mood.
She smiled back at the girl. "I'll go tomorrow. You girls must have a lot to catch up on. Don't let Lanni walk too much." she urged and went back to the house.
The two girls did not talk much, majorly because Li Lanni just didn't feel like talking. They went back to the house after a short stroll. Li Lanni noticed what looked like a note on her pillow when they entered her room.
Ji Feifei teased her immediately. "Someone has an admirer, eh?"
"Don't tease me. It's just a piece of paper. It can be anything."
But when she opened it, the content was surprising.
[Lanni, if you are reading this, you must be back home.
I just wanted to warn you. Vile creatures disguise themselves as good people and cling onto you. I'm sorry that I cannot reveal my identity for now but I hope you trust me. Since you lost your memory, I'm indebted to tell you this. The person you think is your friend, is a backstabber.]
