Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 646 - 644: Confession

Lu Shouyue fetched the slippers and walked casually in front of Lin Wanwan, squatting down as if to help her put them on.

Lin Wanwan awkwardly drew her foot back: "No need, no need, I can do it myself."

Lu Shouyue gently placed the slippers at her feet, stood up, and gazed at Lin Wanwan.

After putting on the slippers, Lin Wanwan felt Lu Shouyue’s gaze and looked up, asking, "What’s wrong? Is there something off?"

Lu Shouyue’s handsome face was tightly held, his eyelashes trembling slightly, ears flushed red, and he spoke with a somewhat dry tone: "Wanwan, do you still feel the same way about me as you did on my birthday? My feelings for you haven’t changed, no, they’ve grown deeper.

But if you tell me you still can’t accept me... I promise I’ll just be your friend in the future, and I’ll never mention love again."

Standing at the bathroom door, Lin Wanwan felt awkward and at a loss, silent for a long time, thinking about all of Lu Shouyue’s tenderness, the starry sky painting in the music room, his mother’s kindness towards her...

Various images came to mind, leaving her unable to say any heartless words.

Finally, she softly said that perhaps they could try being together.

Lu Shouyue’s face instantly lit up, an uncontainable joy spreading from deep within him.

He suddenly pulled Lin Wanwan into his arms, allowing her to clearly feel his intense heartbeat.

Wanwan, you don’t know how happy I am right now!

So many feelings surged to my heart wanting to confess, yet they were stuck in my throat, unable to be expressed.

"Really... is it okay?"

Lin Wanwan paused for a moment and nodded in his embrace.

Lu Shouyue hugged her tighter. At that moment, a strong urge to kiss her surged up.

His lips tentatively moved closer to Lin Wanwan, but she turned her head away, leaning on his shoulder and murmured, "It’s late, I need to go to sleep."

Lu Shouyue was momentarily stunned, but the next moment he bent down, threading his arms under her legs, and scooped her up in a princess carry, saying in a low voice, "Alright, I’ll carry you over."

Finishing his words and not giving Lin Wanwan a chance to protest, he carried her with big strides to the tatami room.

True to his words, after placing her in the room, he quickly retreated with a flushed face.

That night, her dreams were intensely chaotic.

The next morning, before the sun rose or the alarm clock sounded, Lin Wanwan awoke on her own.

The matter of stabbing someone to death didn’t stir any waves in her heart. When she made her move, she hadn’t thought to give the other side any room; having fought once at the Hai City Pier, Lin Wanwan had become quite strong-hearted in this regard.

The only thing that could wake her from sleep automatically was entangled, unresolved emotions.

Last night, in just one night, she decided on two such significant matters, and now it still felt a bit like a dream to her.

Time was still early, yet Lin Wanwan didn’t get up, merely lay in bed, staring blankly at the gray ceiling.

It was unknown how much time had passed when sunlight slipped through the curtains.

A knock sounded on the door: "Wanwan, are you awake?"

"Hmm, yes, I’m awake."

"Alright, then I’ll order breakfast." Footsteps outside the door faded away, and Lin Wanwan checked the time; it was already six in the morning, about seven or eight in Ancient City time.

She had always enjoyed sleeping in, skipping breakfast, waking up later; the maids were probably used to it. Calculating this, time was still ample, as long as she got back to Great Tang before nine to freshen up and dress, she wouldn’t be found out.

Though sleeping in on a day of Buddhist services was a bit out of line, the meditation room where she stayed was filled with her own confidants, so no one would question her, much less forcibly enter her room.

Luckily, she usually crafted an image of liking to sleep in with the maids, and today she should be able to pull it off.

Lin Wanwan got up, put on her suit jacket, opened the door, and headed to the shared bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Besides the shower not having water, the smart toilet and the sink faucet were working perfectly.

When she finished her morning routine and came out, a chef and two chef assistants were already standing in the dining area.

Lu Shouyue, dressed simply in a white T-shirt and jeans, stood by the dining table setting out bowls and chopsticks.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, warming the room, filled with a sense of everyday life.

Upon hearing Lin Wanwan’s footsteps, Lu Shouyue turned and flashed her a bright smile: "Wanwan, breakfast is ready, come sit, let’s just have a little something, then we’ll head to the airport to catch the flight."

Lin Wanwan smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Lu."

Lu Shouyue didn’t say anything further. When Lin Wanwan had sat down at the table, he leaned closer and said softly in her ear: "Wanwan, from now on, don’t call me Mr. Lu, call me Shouyue."

Lin Wanwan’s ears warmed, her face a bit red, and she subtly shifted her body, awkwardly saying: "Haha, let’s eat, let’s eat!"

Not long after, the guards from the next door came over too, and Lu Shouyue invited them to join in eating.

Today, Lu Shouyue had quite a spirited and vigorous demeanor, with the faint sorrow that he usually carried nowhere to be seen.

The two guards exchanged glances, and then silently laughed as they glanced at Lu Shouyue and Lin Wanwan.

The boss must have gotten what he wished for now, his mouth wouldn’t drop from its smile. Usually, when handling matters, he was imperturbable, but now he seemed like a naive young man just entering the world.

Lin Wanwan also noticed that before their relationship was certain, Lu Shouyue had been gentle and considerate, but there was always a restrained quality to his attentiveness, making Lin Wanwan feel very relaxed.

This morning, that restraint suddenly vanished. Faced with his effusive enthusiasm, Lin Wanwan even found it a bit overwhelming.

She silently buried her face in her bowl of porridge, deep down feeling that maybe it had been more comfortable before the relationship was defined.

Ah! How could I be such a bad girl!

No, no!

How could I think that way! If I said I’d give it a try, I need to wholeheartedly try to accept it!

The modern age... is much more relaxed than ancient times anyway.

After finishing her meal, Lin Wanwan stood up to clean up the dishes, but the chef’s assistant hurried forward, indicating they would handle it.

"So, shall we head out now?" Lu Shouyue happily grabbed Lin Wanwan’s hand, his dark eyes filled with gentle affection.

"Alright." Lin Wanwan felt uneasy for a moment but quickly came to peace.

She had to accept this change.

Stepping outside, Lin Wanwan asked, "Mr. Lu—"

"Hmm?" Lu Shouyue raised an eyebrow slightly.

Lin Wanwan gave up insisting, but somehow couldn’t bring herself to say "Shouyue," always feeling it too intimate.

Lu Shouyue chuckled in resignation: "Forget it, forget it, call me whatever you like, however you’re happy."

Lin Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, looked up, and asked with a smile: "Does the police station matter need handling?"

Lu Shouyue leisurely replied: "Already communicated early in the morning, you can let go of that matter. Oh, I’ve got good news for you, the other thug we caught yesterday, he’s involved in a huge case."

At that, Lu Shouyue suddenly lowered his voice, speaking in Lin Wanwan’s ear: "He’s an outside hitman nurtured by a drug trafficking team in the Ancient City, with the blood of many on his hands. Last night, under overnight interrogation, he gave up quite a few people. We expect to gain quite a number of rewards."

Lin Wanwan joyfully responded: "That’s just wonderful!"

It seems this case won’t belong to her county police station anymore and will surely be transferred out. With such a big case, the police manpower might not suffice, and naturally, they won’t bother her on this side anymore.
