The Overnight Chosen Wife: darling, kiss me deeper-Chapter 607: Breaking in

Twenty years later.

Linhou glanced at the text message on his phone and huffed. "It will have to wait." He turned his phone off in case it gave him away later and took out Xiaomu’s face powder which he had stolen from her room and rubbed it on his palms, then he stuffed it back in his bag and got ready to climb.

He was about to scale the wall to Han Xichen’s house. He definitely had a death wish. Han Xichen was protective of his beloved daughter Yue and wouldn’t let guys get near her unless he approved of them—and he definitely didn’t approve of the boy who tried to kiss Yue when she was only fourteen. He was only fifteen himself and was acting under the influence of raging teenage hormones but he knew that he would never live it down in the eyes of Han Xichen.

Although Han Xichen was his father’s close friend and he had been to this house more times than he could count, he didn’t have the courage to show his face at 10pm and ask Yue out for a movie.

He got on the other side safely. Having done this a gazillion times before, he easily snuck into Yue’s room, nearly scaring the living daylights out of her when her curtain suddenly moved.

"Jiang Linhou!" She raged when he finally showed his face. No matter how many times she told him to stop sneaking in through her window, he would come back.

He pressed his palm against her mouth to cover it. "Hush. Do you want your parents to know I’m here?"

"Not that I care! Do you want me to call my father to have a word with you?" She threatened. Luckily, he had come when she was done changing into her night gown or he would have caught her in her birthday suit. "What are you doing here?"

Although she claimed not to care, she hurriedly locked her door as soon as she heard her mother’s voice outside and looked out through her window to make sure no one was nearby before quickly closing it. She then lowered her voice.

"Talk. They might come to check on me." She rushed him, knowing Xiaoshi often brought her a glass of milk to help her sleep.

"I came to..." He stopped speaking when he caught sight of a red bra on the bed. His face reddened and he wanted to ignore it but was caught by her.

"Did you come here to snoop at my underwear? You pervert!" She grabbed a pillow on the bed and smashed his face with it.

"Ow! How is it my fault that you left it out in the open?" He complained.

"Don’t pretend you have never seen women’s bras as a twenty-three year old man with two sisters and more girlfriends than you can count. Besides, this is my room." She grabbed the bra and threw it in the laundry basket near her closet, then she realized that her panties were on top. Her face flushed as she went over and covered her underwear with a pillow case. Then she straightened up and cleared her throat.

Luckily, Linhou had never actually seen her as a woman. They had known each other since they were in their diapers and grew up to consider each other as siblings.

But the expression on his face as he eyed her waist...

Her eyes widened. "Jiang Linhou, what the hell did you have for dinner? Did Mumu throw viagra pills into your soup as revenge?" She felt his forehead for a fever.

He swatted her hand away in annoyance. "I was lost in thought and just happened to glance in your direction. Don’t worry. Even if Mumu were to drug me with ten aphrodisiac pills, I wouldn’t look at you." He retorted.

She rolled her eyes. "You are one to talk. What do you want?"

She didn’t believe for a second that he had snuck into a young woman’s room at 10pm just to tell her that he wouldn’t have eyes for her.

"Shuihan and I are going for a movie. His girlfriend is coming with us. Would you like to join us?"

"No." She rejected him, although he was certain for a second that she was going to say yes. Was the excited look in her eyes a moment ago just an illusion?

"Why?" He demanded.

"Because I have to. Who are you that I have to answer to you, Linhou?" She dismissed him, but he didn’t stop.

They had been friends for long enough for him to know what was happening instantly. "Do you have a curfew?" frёeωebɳovel.com

She let out a breath and ignored him. "Not like it’s any of your business but I was going to study for my exam. Are you leaving any time soon?"

He didn’t buy her crap. "The exam is not until two months later and you only ever pick up a book in the final month. Are you really under a curfew?"

She fiddled with the pen on her study desk, pursing her lips as she gave up trying to brush him off. "I lied to my dad about where I was three nights ago."

He wanted to laugh at her but he cringed at the explanation. "How old does he think you are, twelve? You are a woman, Yue. You have every right to be where you want to be."

Yue chewed her lip. She knew that, but she also knew that her father didn’t actually want to stop her from going wherever she wanted to go. He just needed her to be honest with him for the sake of her safety, and he wouldn’t kick up a fuss if she had not put herself in a situation that could jeopardise her safety.

"Where did you really go anyway?" He asked. That night, she had told him she was going out with her friends but now he didn’t think it was the truth either.

"I met Jake." She answered.

He wanted to kill her. "Are you listening to yourself? How could you?!"

Jake was the man she had been talking to, who she knew online and had never met in real life.

"Yue, you have heard all the stories of girls who go missing after meeting their online dates. It is one thing to meet him but at night?"

She rolled her eyes and brushed past him to get in bed. "Have you ever heard of girls who actually find love online?"

He sighed in exasperation. He knew she was only arguing so she wouldn’t lose to him but she was aware of all the dangers she had nearly put herself into. She knew some self defense moves but that was not enough.

"Don’t ignore me. I’m speaking to you, Han Yue." He hissed.

"Fine, daddy." She groaned, then burst into laughter when she saw his expression.

"What? Do you hate being called that?" Having found something that infuriated him, she rolled out of bed to tease him. "Daddy!"

"Stop that." He warned.

"What? Don’t you want to give me a lecture about my safety anymore, Daddy?" She burst into laughter.

"Han Yue!" He roared.

Before he realized what he was doing, he had her pressed against her wall while grabbing her arm in a deathly grip.

Her jaw dropped and so did his own. He let go of her nervously.

"I..."

"I’m sorry. I’ll get going." He backed away to leave. "If you change your mind and want to come with us, let me know and I’ll help you leave." He promised.

She bit her lip as he left. Although he had just yelled at her, it took a moment for her to calm her racing heart. When he grabbed her the way he just did, he was suddenly... sexy.

She shook her head. What was she thinking? Linhou was like a brother to her and he didn’t even think of her like that.

I know most of you don’t mind explicit scenes in the main story but for side stories aside from Lanni X Xiehan, Cheng Yu X Cedric and Lin Jian X Ruby, it almost feels like I’m writing scenes of my own kids so I wanted to know what you guys think. Do you need me to censor or give warnings?

Comment below if you think I should warn of mature content, censor explicit scenes or just write them as usual. I’ll go with majority.
