Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 731 - 726: Did You Miss Me?

Lin Wanwan stood silently for a moment, then came to her senses and instructed, "Pack up, we’re going down the mountain to head home."

"Okay."

No one dared to say more than a word; today’s meeting of this engaged couple had an indescribable strangeness to it.

Even Hua Nong, who was usually the most thick-skinned, found it strange, let alone Ji Yue and Cai Yun, who had the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart and had lived through two dynasties in the Imperial Palace.

From everyone’s understanding of their master, Lin Wanwan, she really didn’t seem like someone who adhered strictly to etiquette. To be honest, their master usually treated rules as if they were nothing.

Yet today, on a date with her fiancé, she’s following ancient customs.

Ji Yue and Cai Yun didn’t know Xiao Chong and were unaware of his temperament, but Hua Nong did. That Xiao Mingfu was also just like their master. What was going on today?

Could they be shy now that they’re engaged?

Hua Nong expressed that she couldn’t understand.

Of course, Lin Wanwan wasn’t going to explain to them. After settling one matter, she sped her horse back home quickly.

Little Qingyu had already finished school but wasn’t at home; she was playing in the alley with the free-roaming poor children.

Ever since they saw little Qingyu return, these children of Mao County immediately turned to their parents, asking them to help boil water for a bath, wash their hair, and catch lice.

Only the clean children could get close to little Qingyu and get a share of the delicious cakes and dried meats.

Compared to those things, wood ash and soap nut were nothing not to be spared; scrub hard, wash thoroughly, they must be clean. The children following little Qingyu got to eat things they couldn’t even have during New Year celebrations!

Compared to these good things, what were wood ash and soap nut?

Some filial children wouldn’t eat the pastries themselves when they got them, instead, they hid them in cloth bags to take back home to share with their parents.

To ask who was most popular in Xiaoxi Town, it would be little Qingyu.

She was a born leader of children; she had long forgotten the hardships she endured before she was four.

Now, she was the happiest, most daring, smartest child in the world; even young Li Zhi loved to run after her, calling "sister long," and "sister short."

As soon as Lin Wanwan got home, she dashed into her room, instructing others not to disturb her. She said she caught a chill and felt a bit uncomfortable and wished to rest early, not even bothering with dinner.

The Lin Mansion didn’t have strict rules, except for one—when the master Lin Wanwan closed her door to rest, nobody was to disturb her, even if the sky fell.

There was once a palace slave granted by Li Shimin who didn’t understand the rules and called out at her door for a long time before being dispatched by Lin Wanwan far away to the wine brewing workshop, instantly changing from a second-class maid to a continuously laboring female craftsman.

After this incident, even the newcomers understood the only inviolable rule of the master.

Of course, the reason Lin Wanwan went into her room wasn’t really because she was uncomfortable from the wind and needed sleep; she was just eager to return to the modern world.

As soon as she crossed back, she took out her phone from the bedside table and turned it on; sure enough, there was a message from Lu Shouyue.

She smiled slightly and directly dialed a video call back.

At this moment, Lu Shouyue was chatting with two appraisers at the auction house about a newly acquired antique.

This was the first time Lin Wanwan had ever dialed a video call to him, so of course, he was going to pick up.

Immediately, he apologized to the two appraisers and then left the room, connecting the call as he walked.

On the other end of the video, Lin Wanwan, with her hair down, was lying on the bed, asking him what he was busy with.

Lu Shouyue suddenly laughed, "Wanwan, did you miss me?"

Lin Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and asked him, "Where are you? Can I come to find you?"

It was dusk in the Great Tang, but it was only a little after ten in the morning in the modern day, not a weekend either. Other than Lin Wanwan, who usually only went to Yongtang for an hour or two, everyone else was busy working, including Lu Shouyue.

But Lin Wanwan actually said she missed him!

Never mind work, even if he were seriously ill, he would sit up, startled.

Lu Shouyue immediately replied, "Of course! I’m at Buzhou Studio; how about I come to pick you up?"

"No need, I’ll drive over myself, bye." Lin Wanwan neatly hung up the video call, got up, opened the wardrobe, and picked out a short-sleeved square-necked rainbow knit bodycon dress, over which she threw an oversized "boyfriend" shirt for a sweet and cool look.

She then ran downstairs, fetched a pair of white sneakers from the shoe cabinet by the entrance, put them on, opened the door, called for Fugui, jumped in the car, and set off.

Fugui, understanding perfectly, closed the yard door after her departure and lay in the dog villa to watch over the estate.

While waiting for Lin Wanwan to arrive, Lu Shouyue, after the initial excitement, felt a bit puzzled.

Lin Wanwan was acting quite differently today; had something happened?

Of course, just from guessing, Lu Shouyue could never figure it out.

In any case, Lin Wanwan coming to find him because she missed him was thrilling enough.

The two appraisers could sense Lu Shouyue’s uncontrollable excitement, but luckily his professionalism was strong enough that he could focus on two things at once.

"Alright, let’s wrap up our research for today and continue tomorrow," Lu Shouyue said, checking his watch to see it was about time and thus issuing a gentle reminder for them to leave.

As the boss, he naturally had the final say.

After the appraisers departed, Lin Wanwan had already parked her car in the underground garage and was heading upstairs.

Lu Shouyue restrained himself from calling Lin Wanwan, fearing she might be distracted while driving and get into danger.

Lin Wanwan’s driving skills weren’t great, requiring her full attention.

When together, he preferred to have a bodyguard drive or drive himself, rarely letting Lin Wanwan handle the wheel.

Just as he was anxiously waiting, a graceful green figure stepped over the antique threshold and approached Buzhou Studio.

This was the first time Lin Wanwan visited Buzhou Studio since she started dating Lu Shouyue.

The staff still remembered her as a customer but didn’t know her connection with their boss.

Just as they were about to greet her, Lu Shouyue swept over like a gust of wind, grabbing Lin Wanwan’s hand and smiling indulgently, "It’s almost noon, shall we head out for lunch together?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Lin Wanwan shook her head, "Not hungry yet."

"Then let’s go upstairs."

The two employees at the first-floor counter were stunned, watching their boss, usually aloof with women, holding a beautiful girl’s hand with such delight and taking her straight upstairs.

The two exchanged glances, silently mouthing, "The boss is in love?"

"Seems like that female internet celebrity?"

To have won over their boss, the two were filled with admiration to the point of prostration.

Previously, the counter girls at Buzhou Studio had all received severance pay and were let go for trying to pursue the boss.

It wasn’t until they found two self-aware individuals that the counter girl positions stabilized.

Though their boss seemed gentle, he was actually very assertive; no one in the company dared to act recklessly.

In the small groups within the company, rumors spread that the boss was only focused on his career, showing no interest in women.

Perhaps the only woman their boss was interested in was Lady Xin Zhui.
