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) ...

He shifted his glare between the two of them. "Do the two of you think I was born last night?"
"Xiehan…" Wen Lin pleaded, reaching out to hold his arm. He flung her hand away, settling his glower on Ji Huifen. As expected, the man was alright and breathing on his own. It was a facade all along.
He had suspected that he was faking it when he studied the monitor. His heartbeat pulse seemed to be too steady and perfect for a man who was knocking on death's door minutes ago. Then there was the fact that he was talking a bit too much.
Although he did a good performance pretending to be weak as he spoke, the bombshells Xiehan dropped on him should have made his pulse speed up or dramatically slow down. Again, nothing seemed to change.
Perhaps they were betting on the fact that he would be too emotional to spare the monitors a thought but they were wrong. He already suspected something strange was going on when he heard Ruby's anxious voice earlier.
