Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 741 - 736: A Sweet Morning

When the ringtone of the phone at the bedside rang, Lin Wanwan thought she was dreaming.

How could there be a cellphone ringtone in the Great Tang?

After the ringtone sounded for a while, she belatedly realized she was sleeping in a modern room.

She reached for her phone and saw that it was indeed Lu Shouyue calling.

"Hello..."

A voice full of fatigue came from the phone, Lu Shouyue heard it and chuckled softly: "Little lazy bug, still not up?"

Listening to the slightly casual yet regal cold male voice from the other end, Lin Wanwan wasn’t swooned, but rather speechless: "It’s barely seven o’clock now."

You don’t even need to get up this early for work!

Then Lin Wanwan directly reported the front gate password.

The lock on the courtyard gate had been changed to a smart lock, so she didn’t need to run downstairs to open the door anymore.

Modern technology is indeed a blessing for the lazy; every imaginable lazy trick has a product to satisfy you. Of course, back in ancient times, if you had power you could also be lazy, with a bunch of people serving you, running errands was no problem.

Lu Shouyue unlocked the gate and entered the courtyard, leaving the two bodyguards in the courtyard to play with the dog, while he took slippers and changed into them, taking three steps in two to go upstairs.

Not long after Lin Wanwan hung up the phone, she heard the sound of the door opening. Knowing it was Lu Shouyue coming up, she was too lazy to move, continuing to linger in bed.

Lu Shouyue had predicted Lin Wanwan would definitely still be lazing around, intentionally coming early, everything going as he wished.

He joyfully jumped in to tease Lin Wanwan, his voice carrying a hint of delight: "Wanwan, are you still lying there waiting to compensate me?"

Lin Wanwan, well-prepared, had already hidden under the quilt, and her voice carried a bit of laziness: "Compensation what! Don’t bother me, I want to sleep~"

Lu Shouyue dug out the little beauty from under the quilt, planting light kisses on her baby-soft face and neck: "I won’t bother you, just kiss you."

The slightly tingling kisses, accompanied by a bit of huskiness and a bit of slow sighs, felt like electricity crawling over Lin Wanwan’s scalp, instantly clearing her mind, and even her nerve endings began to tremble.

The faint, deep sandalwood scent from him lingered, a residual scent from Buzhou Studio.

Lin Wanwan reached out to push him, but was instead caught by him, kissing from her palm to her elbow, mingling slight dampness with searing breath.

How could she sleep like this!

"Lu Shouyue!" Lin Wanwan couldn’t bear it, broke through the dense hot air, and sat up.

Amidst her tangled long hair, was her blood-colored jade-like face, with two pitch-black eyes shimmering with waves, glaring at someone in a mixture of shame and annoyance.

Lu Shouyue gazed into her eyes, feeling as if his soul had plunged into a vortex, sinking deeper and deeper, unable to escape.

Originally, he was just teasing her, but now he couldn’t help wanting to get closer, closer still.

"Wanwan... close your eyes." Lu Shouyue spoke, his voice like casting a spell.

Lin Wanwan’s heart tightened, and she involuntarily followed his words, closing her eyes.

The heavy sandalwood scent pressed in, Lin Wanwan directly fell into the quilt, her lips warmed, and her breath was taken away.

"Mm..."

Lu Shouyue kissed fiercely, completely different from the previous light kisses, a torrential storm was not enough to describe it. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lin Wanwan felt both their hearts "thumping", like a million swings rebelling inside her, felt her pajama buttons being pulled open, and that hand was igniting fires everywhere...

In this chaos of emotions, Lu Shouyue suddenly stopped.

Lin Wanwan felt as if she was soaring thousands of miles, then suddenly her wings were retracted, experiencing a sense of descending loss.

"Wanwan... push me away... or I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait..." Lu Shouyue panted urgently and hotly.

Lin Wanwan hesitated, but soon came to her senses, started to push him, but he held her tighter.

"You’re holding me so tight, how can I push?"

There’s simply no gap, okay!

Lu Shouyue’s kisses suddenly moved from her neck down, carrying a coaxing tenderness.

Lin Wanwan felt a coolness on her chest, her heart pounding, a voice saying this isn’t right, and another singing liberation.

The two voices clamored noisily in her mind, overwhelming her ability to think, only making her instinctively tremble.

When Lu Shouyue frowned and looked up at her, Lin Wanwan already felt her mind muddled, white doves flapping wings echoed by her ears.

"Wanwan, marry me, okay?" Lu Shouyue’s voice was hoarse as he spoke, his eyes filled with a love so dense it couldn’t be dissolved.

In such an almost bare setting, the proposal seemed natural, love overwhelmed, leaving no room for control.

"Marry?"

The word instantly pulled back Lin Wanwan’s scattered logic, she quickly clutched her pajamas, her gaze gradually focusing on Lu Shouyue’s dazzling eyes above.

His breaths fell on her face, making her skin burn.

She murmured: "Isn’t it too fast, I..."

Before she could continue, Lu Shouyue suddenly stood up laughing, interrupting her: "Just joking with you, how could a proposal lack ceremony! Wanwan, don’t answer me now, wait till I’m prepared."

He stood up, no longer clinging to her, slowly buttoning his shirt with slender fingers, his smile like sunlight piercing through sparse leaves, warm, gentle, yet distant.

Lin Wanwan sat up, silently tidying her clothes as well.

The absurd scene just moments ago seemed insignificant due to Lu Shouyue’s proposal.

The ever-increasing intimacy with him was expected; isn’t that how couples are?

But marriage, she wasn’t mentally prepared for.

Isn’t happily dating good enough?

Marriage would mean pregnancy and childbirth, being together day and night, handling all kinds of social interactions, marital responsibilities, financial interests...

No freedom, no space, just thinking about it felt suffocating.

Lu Shouyue’s white shirt, carefully ironed by the maid who had just returned from his grandmother’s house this morning, now looked wrinkled and unpresentable.

He simply rolled up his sleeves, adopting a casual style.

"Wanwan, you freshen up first, I’ll wait outside for you."

Lu Shouyue said as he left, Lin Wanwan let out an "ah" and flopped back onto the bed.

Once Lin Wanwan finished washing up and changed clothes downstairs, she saw Lu Shouyue smiling broadly while petting the dog.

In the sunlight-drenched courtyard, one person and one dog shared a tranquil moment of serenity.

Fugui cooperated by showing Lu Shouyue its white belly, lightly squinting its eyes in enjoyment.

It must be noted that the two bodyguards who tried to touch it earlier were treated to bared teeth, narrowly escaping being bitten.

But under Lu Shouyue’s touch, it was so well-behaved, defenseless.

Perhaps because he had singled it out among thousands of rejected military dogs; or maybe it was because when death loomed close, he had snatched it back from the gates of hell; or maybe, just because he carried her scent.
