Seeing Lin Wanwan suddenly dazed, Lu Shouyue suddenly stood up, leaned across the table, and kissed her, then sat back leisurely, curling his lips: "Wanwan, I’m very happy."

Lin Wanwan’s cheeks flushed slightly, thinking fortunately the bodyguards tried their best to stay out of sight, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing with random kisses like that.

"The person yesterday was a college classmate of mine, the youngest daughter of the CEO of SV, whom I hadn’t seen in years, so we talked a bit."

Lu Shouyue slowly explained, with a half-smile: "Wanwan, last night you asked me thirty-two times about my relationship with her, and I answered you thirty-two times. I’ll answer you once more now, I have no romantic involvement with her, and we don’t contact each other regularly."

Lin Wanwan buried her face in the porridge bowl, refuting without much confidence: "I didn’t ask that many times."

Lu Shouyue just smiled silently, as drunk Lin Wanwan was much more honest than sober her.

"How did I come back yesterday?" Lin Wanwan suddenly remembered her car.

Lu Shouyue replied matter-of-factly: "In my car."

"Then my car is still in the basement of the show venue?"

"Mm, if it wasn’t stolen, then yes." Lu Shouyue finished his porridge and said, "Give me the car key, I’ll have the bodyguard bring it here. When we return to Yongcheng, I’ll have them drive it, and you can ride with me."

Lin Wanwan didn’t oppose, and said: "The car key is in my little bag. Did you grab my bag yesterday?"

"I did." Lu Shouyue put down his bowl and chopsticks, got up to the sofa, and retrieved the mini bag from the round table, handing it to Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan finished the last spoonful of porridge, set down the spoon, and took the mini bag, pulling out the key, just about to hand it over, then suddenly asked: "Lu Shouyue, when are you going back to Yongcheng? If it’s not today, I can’t ride with you, I’m heading back today."

Lu Shouyue leisurely took the car key from her hand and said unhurriedly: "Don’t worry, I’ll take you back."

With Lu Shouyue’s assurance, Lin Wanwan handed over the car key with ease.

Lin Wanwan never liked driving, and even less so on the highway.

Although now, having had her driver’s license for a year, she could drive on her own, she found driving alone on the highway so tiring and boring.

So she’s already decided, next time she’s going on the highway, she’ll still hire that single mom to drive for her.

While Lu Shouyue went to the nanny suite to deliver the car key, Lin Wanwan started to tidy up the dining table.

Since breakfast was personally prepared by Lu Shouyue today, it was only right for Lin Wanwan to take over the dishwashing task.

Actually, there’s no need for actual handwashing, just need to tidy up and load into the dishwasher.

After setting the dishes, Lin Wanwan looked around the living room again.

The setup and layout were basically unchanged from the last time she was here, the only difference was a new painting on the wall.

Lin Wanwan walked up to closely observe the abstract painting, guessing which Master’s work it might be.

If it could be hung in Lu Shouyue’s living room, it shouldn’t be the work of an average artist.

"Wanwan, do you like this painting?" Lu Shouyue walked up behind her, gently embracing her and asked.

Lin Wanwan relaxed, leaning against his chest, raised her hand pointing at the painting: "Can’t say I like it or not, I don’t have much appreciation for oil paintings. Whose painting is this?"

Lu Shouyue replied: "An early piece by Van Gogh, not from his peak period so it’s not very well-known, but I quite like it."

Lin Wanwan guessed it might be Van Gogh earlier because it was very abstract, but wasn’t sure.

After all, such a painting must be incredibly valuable, how could it be hung directly on the wall without any protection, not fearing the ravages of time.

Lu Shouyue seemed to have guessed Lin Wanwan’s thoughts, casually explained: "Van Gogh painted several identical pieces at the time. This one’s for self-enjoyment on display, and I keep another well-protected in my museum."

"Oh." Lin Wanwan responded, thinking is this the difference between herself and a true tycoon?

She also had many famous paintings and writings, all collected from the Great Tang. Yet she couldn’t bring herself to hang a single one fearing air exposure causing oxidation and fading.

She’s possessive of treasures that are priceless but is unwilling to sell or display them, resembling the miser Grangai.

After a few idle chatters, Lu Shouyue suddenly asked her: "Wanwan, do you know why this house has a double master bedroom design?"

Lin Wanwan cooperatively raised her head to ask: "I don’t know, why?"

Lu Shouyue’s tone was subtle: "To allow the male and female owners to have independent space, so when the two have mismatched work and rest timings, occasionally sleeping in separate rooms can prevent disturbing each other. When they want to be intimate, just slide open the doors to enter each other’s rooms."

Lin Wanwan paused upon hearing this, thinking, was this specifically said for her? Hinting even if married and living together, the double master bedroom design ensures personal space?

This way she can still carry on her travels.

He truly knows everything.

Her heart suddenly felt like it was struck by electricity, she looked up at Lu Shouyue. In the bright morning light, his gaze was still so deep and inscrutable.

Some bored people have done experiments showing that mutual eye contact beyond ten seconds between the opposite sex results in a desire to kiss; beyond thirty seconds, one feels like crying; beyond a minute, it’s as if their "souls have merged," viewing each other as the one they’ve been seeking.

But now, Lin Wanwan felt as though they had been staring at each other for a century, her heart thudding like a pounding drum exaggeratedly. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

In reality, they had only been looking at each other for less than five seconds.

The next second, Lu Shouyue wrapped an arm around Lin Wanwan’s waist, pulling her tightly against him.

His kiss was overwhelmingly possessive, not at all like his usual gentle and refined self, as if he wanted to snatch away all of Lin Wanwan’s breaths and sanity.

Lin Wanwan’s face was red with suppressed breath, unable to resist, she raised a small fist to hit him, but it was soft and strengthless, serving only to increase his interest and serving no other purpose.

After a long time, Lu Shouyue finally eased the distance a bit, his husky voice exposing deep-seated desires.

Lin Wanwan caught her breath for quite a while to calm down, before being embraced tightly by Lu Shouyue, who sighed at her ear: "I really want to devour you."

Lin Wanwan’s ears turned visibly red, she didn’t speak, pretending she didn’t hear.

She had prepared herself mentally after confessing to Lu Shouyue that she wasn’t ready for marriage yet.

But as time dragged on, she retreated again.

"Wanwan, do you know how happy I was when you were confined at my home that time?" Lu Shouyue couldn’t resist kissing her blushing earlobe, confessing in a low voice, "At that time I was rehearsing in my mind every day how to devour you."

"You pervert!" Lin Wanwan buried herself in his arms, "So you had devious intentions for me so early on."

Lu Shouyue shamelessly admitted immediately: "Mm, from the moment you took off your mask at Buzhou Studio, I fell in love with you."

Actually, back then it was simply feeling as though this woman before him came right from his heart, although it was love at first sight, it was also attraction based on appearance.

Truly falling in love with her was a matter of a few months later, but now they’re speaking love words, there’s no need to be so exact.
