Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 744 - 739: Grandma Lu’s Dinner (Part 2)

Seeing Lin Wanwan decline, the old lady smiled and said, "Wanwan, don’t be modest. It’s your first day visiting grandma, and you must accept the meeting gift. This is the first time Shouyue brought a girl to see me, this old woman, so I’m happy."

Lu Shouyue stood by, smiling, and thanked on behalf of Lin Wanwan, "Thank you, Grandma!"

As he spoke, he lifted Lin Wanwan’s half-draped black hair to put the necklace on her.

Since they put it this way, Lin Wanwan felt it would be inappropriate to refuse anymore. After thanking, she cooperatively held up her hair to make it easier for Lu Shouyue to help her with the necklace.

The necklace radiated a dazzling brilliance; it was indeed beautiful, but it also made her neck feel heavy.

After putting it on, the old lady smiled and said, "Hmm, youth indeed complements the pink color the best."

Lu Shouyue looked at Lin Wanwan and praised with a smile, "Beautiful, truly beautiful."

Lin Wanwan secretly glared at him. How could he be so frivolous in front of the old lady?

Lu Shouyue gave a slight smile and explained the origin of the pink diamond to Lin Wanwan: "This pink diamond is part of the Gemini pair, discovered in the 1930s at Grandma’s African mine. One was kept, and the other was given to the Queen of England in exchange for the freedom of a red warrior. Am I right, Grandma?"

He spoke so casually, without any intention of showing off, merely stating facts offhand.

Lin Wanwan listened and only sighed at the disparities in the world.

The old lady laughed and said, "Yes, you still remember this old story. Come on, let’s go to the living room outside to eat some fruits."

Lin Wanwan treated the old lady with the same attitude she had toward Princess Xiangcheng and Empress Xiao, grasping the nuances well while omitting the formal grand ceremony.

Initially, the old lady only had fondness for Lin Wanwan due to her grandson bringing her home. She would have viewed any girl her grandson brought home with tolerance.

But after the dinner, the old lady genuinely liked Lin Wanwan. It’s rare to see modern girls still adhere to such ancient etiquette.

Lin Wanwan possessed a naturally classical demeanor, cultivated during her half-year stay in Chang’an City, influenced by the environment.

After all, with weekly shifts at the palace, she had no choice but to maintain etiquette under the shadow of imperial authority hanging over her!

Gradually, she nurtured this poise.

To be honest, Lin Wanwan’s expertise now lies in dealing with older women.

According to the etiquette of the Great Tang, it would be odd not to do well when facing noble ladies of old aristocratic descent.

So when leaving after the meal, the old lady took out a box containing earrings and gave it to Lin Wanwan, saying it matched the pink diamond on her neck.

Sitting in the car, Lin Wanwan opened it and found a pair of extremely minimalist pink diamond earrings.

Although without extra design, the dazzling diamonds themselves were luxurious enough.

Lin Wanwan closed the lid, looked up at Lu Shouyue, and asked, "How much is this pink diamond worth?"

Lu Shouyue gazed at her eyes, more dazzling than the diamond, and couldn’t help but peck her lips before casually saying, "I don’t know, it’s never been to an auction."

"There must be some comparison, right? It’s even bigger than the Dream Chasing Star blue diamond you gave me. That should be worth at least a few billion, right?" Lin Wanwan touched the diamond between her collarbones and sighed, "Your grandma is so generous, giving me such an expensive meeting gift. Isn’t she worried we might break up?"

The person who was lightly embracing her instantly tightened the hug, fiercely blocking her lips.

Lin Wanwan quickly pushed him. The bodyguard Ah Hao was still driving in front!

Lu Shouyue looked at her, gritted his teeth, and said, "If you dare to stray, I’ll rebuild the wall outward."

He said the softest words with the harshest tone.

Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but chuckle, glancing askance at him, "Why do you say I’m the one straying? What if you’re the one who falls for someone else?"

Lu Shouyue grabbed her little hand and bit it before saying, "You ungrateful little thing, always trying to irritate me. Are you really worried I might fall for someone else?"

Lin Wanwan looked deep into his profound eyes, her heart skipping a beat, but she still said, "Well, yeah, your friends are always in the headlines for switching girlfriends."

Lu Shouyue chuckled, "Everyone is independent; I don’t take the blame for others."

After a while of affection in the car’s backseat, Lin Wanwan suddenly realized the car was not heading in the direction of the suburbs.

"Huh, aren’t we going the wrong way?"

Lu Shouyue said with a straight face, "It’s too late. Just stay at my place today."

Lin Wanwan’s mind immediately flashed back to the scene from this morning; this guy was getting bolder and bolder, really dangerous!

"No, no..."

Before she could finish, Lu Shouyue kissed her again, coaxing while kissing, "You promised to make it up to me."

When did I say that!

Lin Wanwan wanted to argue but couldn’t speak with her mouth sealed, eventually being swayed back home by the cunning man.

There was nothing she could do; the car was his, and the driver was his.

Driver Ah Hao, who was stuffed with dog food, secretly breathed a sigh of relief after they got out of the car.

Oh my, his young boss was like a completely different person in front of his girlfriend, so clingy.

Once they entered the house, without the bodyguard following, Lu Shouyue became even more carefree, directly carrying her to the bedroom.

In Lu Shouyue’s house, there wasn’t even an extra bed; bringing the girlfriend home only to sleep separately was impossible.

However, his walk-in closet had given over more than half of its space to hang women’s clothing. Lin Wanwan could choose any style she wanted, including her beloved palace-style pajamas.

Lin Wanwan was brought here half-willingly, but entering his bedroom, she wasn’t worried. After all, Lu Shouyue always only enjoyed the foreplay.

After breakfast the next day, Lu Shouyue directly sent Lin Wanwan to work and went to his job in high spirits after a goodbye kiss.

Gu Jingyu, who had just returned from maternity leave, happened to see Lin Wanwan getting out of the car, catching up before entering the company, and asked with a smile, "Wanwan, is there a secret you’re hiding from me?"

Lin Wanwan blushed, "You saw?"

Gu Jingyu laughed, "Saw clearly! Congratulations, Mr. Lu is a good match for you. But you’re progressing quickly, already living together?"

"It’s not what you think." Lin Wanwan didn’t explain much, "I’ll have him treat you to dinner next time."

"No, thank you! As your girlfriend’s boyfriend, I’d rather keep my distance. If it’s dining, you treat me."

The two entered the company, laughing and talking.

In fact, Lin Wanwan had recently been considering whether to hire a CEO or promote Pan Junqi’s position.

She only wanted to invest behind the scenes, not manage the company personally.

But this wasn’t urgent; she decided to observe some more.

She had been away from Yongcheng for over half a year, and all the company’s documents were signed by Pan Junqi. Everything ran smoothly, so maintaining the status quo wasn’t bad either.

Lin Wanwan worked only half a day before heading to the Chinese Medicine Hall in the afternoon to check on progress.

When Lu Shouyue invited her out in the evening, she declined, saying she spent the entire previous day with him and had no time for writing and studying, and tonight she needed some alone time.

And by alone time, she meant traveling back in time to the Great Tang.
