Chapter 852: Chapter 845: All You See Is Real

"What surprise, it’s actually fright, isn’t it!" Lin Wanwan buried her face in his chest, her ears filled with the "thump thump" of a heartbeat, not knowing whether it was his or her own.

"Really?" Lu Shouyue chuckled softly.

"Hmph, you silently appeared in the room, are you planning to scare me?"

Clearly her heart was brimming with joy, but her mouth refused to admit it. She had to change the subject.

Lu Shouyue’s laughter made his chest tremble; suddenly he scooped Lin Wanwan up, placing her on the edge of the writing desk, his lowered eyes intently locked onto her, with a hint of a smile on his lips: "Wanwan, I really missed you."

To return to see you sooner, I specifically compressed my schedule, working so busily that I was dizzy, just to come back to the country three days early.

Unspoken words that Lin Wanwan deciphered from his eyes.

Lu Shouyue leaned closer, and Lin Wanwan’s face slowly reddened like a misty rose, her red lips parted slightly: "Mr. Lu."

"Change it." Lu Shouyue’s nose almost touched hers, softly suggesting she call him something else.

"No way." Lin Wanwan’s heart felt like millions of swings rebelling, as she clutched the edge of the desk tightly, facing the near pitch-black eyes, she couldn’t help but close her eyes. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Despite saying no, her body leaned closer to him.

A warm sensation covered her lips; as Lu Shouyue drew near her, the unique fragrance of her filled him with heat.

A black and a white down jacket fell to the ground; with many winter clothes on and no air conditioning in the villa, his slender hands, like those in a comic, could do nothing but clutch tightly at her back, seemingly exerting all his strength.

Lin Wanwan was kissed to the point of breathlessness, her nostrils filled with his aggressive scent.

Separated for so long, Lin Wanwan’s initially fading feelings were instantly ignited, passionately making her dizzy.

Between men and women, aside from the fusion of minds, there’s a primal, more direct attraction.

Lu Shouyue kissed from the corner of her lips to her earlobe, gasping lightly: "Wanwan, you smell so good."

Lin Wanwan felt ticklish from being kissed, wanting to dodge but not quite wanting to.

"Answer me, did you miss me?" Lu Shouyue’s lips lingered on her neck, with one hand boldly feeling her heartbeat under her woolen sweater, "Don’t say one thing and mean another."

Lin Wanwan’s breath instantly became rapid, grabbing his mischievous hand and murmuring: "...I did."

Lu Shouyue chuckled, cooperatively retracting his hand, whispering by her ear: "So, can we, tonight?"

Lin Wanwan immediately understood, her face blushing furiously, her lashes quivering: "I... my family is here."

Lu Shouyue paused, suspiciously looking at Lin Wanwan: "Wanwan, you little liar, trying to fool me, aren’t you? Twelve days ago, when I left, she had just arrived."

Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes in embarrassment, pouting and muttering: "Twelve days in modern times is a month in ancient times; the flow of time differs."

Indeed, she was at the end of her monthly cycle.

Lu Shouyue was momentarily stunned, his initial confidence disappearing, replaced by a helpless smile.

A moment later, his hands gripped her back fiercely, like iron clamps holding her tightly: "You naughty girl! You were so happy playing in ancient times when I wasn’t here. No matter what, I must hold you while sleeping tonight."

Lin Wanwan hooked her arms around his neck, resting her chin on his shoulder, smiling without saying a word.

The two continued their affectionate kissing and hugging for a while, without going further, eventually calming down to start assembling the bookshelf together.

This bookshelf didn’t require complete assembly; the basic structure was there, just divided into parts for easier passage through the Space-Time Gate. The two collaborated and quickly installed it.

Lu Shouyue gazed at the sturdy bookshelf made of Yellow Flower Pear Wood that covered a whole wall, smiling: "Wanwan, you’re like a machine cat."

Lin Wanwan felt proud of her masterpiece; she had carefully collected it from the dock since Mao County itself didn’t produce Yellow Flower Pear Wood.

"Hey, since you’re here, I’ll go bring the sofa, you help me with it."

"Can I go with you?" Lu Shouyue asked, puzzled.

"No, but you can assist from here."

"Alright."

The whole set of carved golden silk wood couch, chair, and coffee table were not currently made by Lin Wanwan but purchased a while ago at the Treasure Pavilion.

It was custom-made by Treasure Pavilion after obtaining golden silk wood for Lin Wanwan, as everyone knew the Yu Family in Le’an had a penchant for Hu-style furniture.

The Tang-style couch and chair were antique, intricately carved, only glimpsed in modern times through murals.

Lin Wanwan’s wealth was well-known, and previously her people had gone to Yu Yao County to wage a dumping war with the Yu Family, leaving them defeated and apologizing.

Thus, in Wanghai and the major Treasure Pavilions and shops in Creek Town, whenever they had good items, they first reported to Lin Wanwan, letting her select first.

The two held hands and took the elevator to the ground floor, arriving at the sunken living room, Lin Wanwan took a glance and instructed Lu Shouyue to turn off the CCTV.

Lu Shouyue went to the monitoring room nearby and switched off all ground-floor cameras.

"Turned off?"

"Done."

Lin Wanwan then, right in front of Lu Shouyue, opened the Space-Time Gate back to the Great Tang.

Though spending a day in modern times, in Great Tang only an hour had passed.

Lin Wanwan fetched a robe from the closet, casually put it on, and stealthily opened the door.

Outside was Hong Yan, the maid on night duty, who was deeply asleep, especially during the New Year, such slight noise wouldn’t wake her.

But Xiaoyan on night watch on the second-floor hallway couldn’t be deceived.

Seeing Lin Wanwan quietly slip out from her bedroom suite, Xiaoyan approached with a puzzled expression.

It was nearly midnight, why had the lady suddenly gotten up?

Lin Wanwan placed her finger against her lips, silently shushing Xiaoyan, who nodded blankly and instinctively pursed her lips.

"Don’t follow me."

Lin Wanwan turned back and whispered a command to her, halting Xiaoyan’s steps.

Walking smoothly to the warehouse, Lin Wanwan took out a key to unlock it and quickly closed the door, lighting the palace lamp in the warehouse; she then activated the Space-Time Gate, pushing the long golden silk wood couch (in Great Tang, the couch was not a bed but had functions similar to modern sofas) into the Space-Time Gate.

In Great Tang, golden silk wood wasn’t something the ordinary middle class could utilize; only emperors, ministers, and noble families had the means to enjoy it, while common officials could not afford such luxury.

Lu Shouyue stood in the living room, watching as the green glowing Light Gate appeared out of thin air, gradually pushed open, a golden silk wood sofa slowly emerging.

The middle section caught at the door, he leisurely stepped forward and helped move it.

Moving the couch alone was tough, but Lin Wanwan managed the coffee table and chairs solo.

Lu Shouyue watched Lin Wanwan effortlessly lift the coffee table, almost doubting his eyes.

Unable to resist, he stepped forth to test the weight of the golden silk wood coffee table, needing considerable effort to lift it, yet his girl managed it with ease?

Lu Shouyue: "..."

Now he truly felt Lin Wanwan deeply loved him, otherwise in bed she likely wouldn’t always let him lead.
