Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 692 - 688: Mutual Hurt

After a bout of fooling around, Lin Wanwan grabbed her clothes and jumped into the bathroom. By the time she changed and came out, Lu Shouyue had just taken off his robe to change clothes.

Lin Wanwan thought he did it on purpose, trying to seduce her with his looks.

But he changed so quickly; she only had to shyly look away for a moment, and when she secretly turned her gaze back, he had already put on his pants, and the white shirt was on him, leaving only the last few buttons.

She didn’t even get a clear look at his abs, let alone anything else.

Thinking of that chaotic fooling around just now, Lin Wanwan suddenly got angry, feeling she was at a disadvantage! She was being taken advantage of, yet he remained perfectly presentable!

As Lu Shouyue was buttoning his shirt, he suddenly felt the air pressure around him drop.

He frowned slightly, puzzled, wondering if things went too far just now. But... previously, Wanwan seemed more shy than annoyed.

His gaze landed on Lin Wanwan’s slightly emotional face, just as he was about to speak, she "hmphed" and ran off like a little deer, not waiting for him to put on his shoes.

Lu Shouyue quickly put on his shoes and chased outside, finding Lin Wanwan at the front desk ordering a midnight snack.

It was already close to one o’clock in the morning, and normally, a homestay wouldn’t provide snacks this late. But with Wang Bocheng booking the place earlier and a film crew visiting now, demand for late-night snacks increased, so they temporarily extended night service.

Lin Wanwan didn’t ask for much, just ordered a bowl of plain noodles.

Having just experienced ancient executions and seen blood today, she couldn’t eat meat or it would make her nauseous.

Waking up in the middle of the night, Lu Shouyue was also hungry, but he was a gourmet, quite picky about food, and didn’t like plain noodles, so he just ordered some wine and sipped it beside Lin Wanwan.

He couldn’t understand why Lin Wanwan was suddenly unhappy. She ate her noodles in silence, ignored him, and didn’t let him put his arm around her, even though they were so close just now.

Ah, a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, hard to predict.

Lin Mengyun couldn’t sleep after recording the show’s sleeping scene, so she went out to get some air and saw a beautiful scene under the lights of the small restaurant.

Lin Wanwan was eating noodles, while Lu Shouyue sat next to her, his gaze deep and focused on her, occasionally sipping his drink, never taking his eyes off her, as if they were attached, so quiet, so infatuated.

Handsome man and beautiful woman, poetic and picturesque.

For a moment, a surge of envy and jealousy coursed through Lin Mengyun’s heart.

Why could Lin Wanwan inherit the grandparents’ house and effortlessly have such a good man?

The world is so unfair; clearly, she’s just a girl like me, so why can she inherit property?

Lin Mengyun wasn’t aware that the grandparents’ house had been sold to Lin Wanwan by her parents.

She only thought her grandparents were well-off, gave money to her father, and the house to her cousin. As their granddaughter, she got nothing, so she felt jealous.

Knowing she was being stared at, Lu Shouyue sensed something and sharply gazed over, his eyes icy with a hint of warning.

Those were eyes that could command strategies, just one glance could make one’s body tremble.

Lin Mengyun quickly looked away, pressed herself against the cold wall, and held her wildly beating heart, not daring to move. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

This noble gentleman’s tenderness was indeed different for each person, so gentle with Lin Wanwan, yet his eyes showed coldness to others.

She couldn’t afford to mess with him; she knew this well.

Although she didn’t know Lu Shouyue’s true background, if even someone as high-profile as Wang Bocheng respected him, he must be extremely wealthy and prestigious.

In a far more relaxed modern setting compared to ancient times, Lin Wanwan naturally didn’t notice anything strange from start to finish.

She had gradually gotten used to the feeling of Lu Shouyue protecting her by her side, so when he was there, she would inadvertently let her guard down, not being alert at all.

Even now, with her little mood, it didn’t affect her trust in him.

Besides, modern security is safe, making her relax. If she were on the crisis-laden steppe of the Great Tang, she would have sensed such jealous stares long ago.

After finishing the midnight snack, Lu Shouyue grabbed Lin Wanwan’s hand and forcibly led her sulking self to an open-air balcony.

Though it was a summer night, the steppe evening still carried a hint of coolness.

Lu Shouyue held the sulky Lin Wanwan in his arms, the two of them snuggling together, looking up at the brilliant starry sky on the steppe.

The atmosphere should have been beautiful, but not knowing why Lin Wanwan was angry, Lu Shouyue felt a bit uneasy.

At this time, many were still awake; Wang Bocheng and his friends were night owls, having late-night obsessions.

Having grown tired of the debauched lifestyle, they left their female companions alone and were gathered at a nearby town’s internet café playing games.

Domestic security is relatively good, so Wang Bocheng and his group of noble sons aren’t afraid of encountering any serious incidents.

After all, their ancestors fought with guns against invaders and had some grit. Naturally, they brought bodyguards, but didn’t clear the field wherever they went.

Receiving a text from Lu Shouyue, asking how to cheer up a girlfriend who is inexplicably angry, Wang Bocheng let out an evil laugh, stopped his game, and smugly replied to Lu Shouyue: Sorry, I never need to coax women.

Then immediately boasting, he added: You’re done for, so possessive, being wrapped around her finger, you’re done for, learn from me and be free!

Lu Shouyue replied expressionlessly with a name: Yu Shanshan?

This was his first love during their poor student days abroad, who ditched Wang Bocheng for a minor rich guy because he couldn’t afford luxury bags.

Damn! Hurting each other like that! Be cautious serving women and never conceding with your bros! Favoring romance over friendship!

Wang Bocheng cussed at his WeChat furiously with a ’Roll,’ then tossed his phone aside, not caring about Old Lu anymore, continuing his game, too lazy to be a love guru.

He had long moved on from his first love, nothing unresolved.

Back when he first broke up, he was young, just a rookie getting into adult life, reluctant to let go of that intense romance.

After being dumped, he dragged his friends who flew all the way from the United States to console him to drink, bought himself drunk, and borrowed money from Lu Shouyue to buy a bag hoping to win his girlfriend back.

Now, having seen it all, looking back, that episode became his dark history.

Upon returning to the country, when his first love learned of his influential family status and wanted to reconcile, he no longer cared.

He’s now hard to invest genuine emotions, whether in new friends or women. Because he knows people only like his status, his high-end tailored suits, not his interesting soul.

Actually, seeing the silly happiness Lu Shouyue felt emanating from his core while looking at Lin Wanwan, he was a bit envious.

First love is so pure! A virgin heart is so devoted! May they find their destined happiness together!

In families like theirs, to wholeheartedly love someone is incredibly challenging.

Not seeking others’ genuine sincerity, it’s tough to be genuinely sincere oneself.

After all, with so many temptations in the world, beautiful women growing up one after another, there’s always something new to pursue, leaving no room to truly love someone!

If he could now genuinely be moved by someone, he’d gladly marry right away. But alas, he’s devoted to his own taste, loving the fresh 20-somethings.

No one can remain forever young, but there’s always someone in their prime, free for them to pursue, which is the joy of having wealth and power.
