Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 334 - 331: Once You Arrive, You Can’t Leave

Chapter 334: Chapter 331: Once You Arrive, You Can’t Leave

Staring at the mirror for a moment, Lin Wanwan noticed that the light makeup she wore yesterday had been removed, although not very thoroughly.

Strangely, her mouth seemed a bit swollen. Did she bite her lip to stay awake yesterday?

It’s possible because she had bitten her tongue already, and it was still hurting.

Without thinking much, Lin Wanwan picked up her toiletries bag and opened it to see toothpaste, toothbrush, facial cleanser, moisturizer, a bathing cap, and a comb—all in there, small but complete. The brand was good too, all carrying the Lancome logo.

Lin Wanwan washed her face with the facial cleanser, applied the moisturizer carefully, used the toilet, and washed her hands again.

Basically, she was dawdling in the bathroom, unwilling to step outside.

Embarrassing, why did such a thing happen?

Her mind was all about her own embarrassment, completely forgetting about Chen Jinyu.

If it weren’t for the other party tricking her into going to the dinner, she wouldn’t have encountered this biggest crisis of her adult life.

Therefore, she naturally felt resentment towards Chen Jinyu and subconsciously ignored his situation.

"Wanwan, are you done? I’ve made breakfast, let’s go downstairs and have some." Lu Shouyue’s voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, okay, I’m ready." Lin Wanwan opened the door, stepped out, and showed Lu Shouyue an awkward yet polite smile.

Following him downstairs, Lin Wanwan realized this wasn’t on a single level.

"Is this a duplex villa?"

Lu Shouyue placed the freshly toasted bread, butter, and a plate with a fried egg on the dining table, replying while he worked, "Not a duplex villa, it’s the top floor of a duplex apartment."

"Oh, the floor-to-ceiling windows here offer a good view, but it’s unsettling. It’s a curtain wall outside, and below is the Huangpu River, right?" Lin Wanwan asked to divert the conversation with the house as a topic.

"Yes, living here offers a nice view of the river, the security is strict and privacy is great. The downside is it’s too high and windy, and you can’t escape in case of a fire, plus it’s a bit noisy."

"The property fees must be high. This living and dining room is huge, how many square meters is it?"

"The upper and lower floors combined are nearly 600 square meters."

"Wow, that’s big." Lin Wanwan exclaimed, taking a bite of the buttered bread, running out of topics.

Her eyes rolled around the room, landing on the study behind the sofa, prompting her to say, "You don’t have partitions here; the study is directly connected with the living room."

"Yes, it makes the space larger and more comfortable. However, there is a hidden sliding screen door by the study that can be closed if needed."

"Oh, that’s nice."

While eating breakfast, the two casually chatted about the room’s decor and furniture, avoiding mentioning anything about yesterday, as if nothing had happened.

After finishing breakfast, they tidied up the table and put the dishes into the dishwasher. Lin Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief and mentioned she needed to hurry back to Yongcheng.

During the meal, Lu Shouyue handed Lin Wanwan the bag the hotel had brought yesterday, which contained her phone.

"This was delivered by the hotel yesterday, check if anything’s missing."

Lin Wanwan quickly thanked him, "Thank you, it doesn’t matter if anything’s missing. As long as the phone is here, nothing else matters."

Calculating the time, almost five hours had passed in the Great Tang. If she didn’t return there soon, her family would worry.

Luckily, she traveled with Kun Lun to the forest today to activate the Space-Time Gate; otherwise, if she’d come during lunch as usual, it would have been a mess.

If the maid noticed the time stretched, she’d definitely knock on the door, and if she didn’t answer and they broke in, it would be a huge problem.

"Wanwan, are you sure you don’t want to report this to the police?"

Lin Wanwan shook her head, "Forget it, I don’t have time to deal with them."

Under circumstances without significant harm, even if she reported it to the police, the most they could do is hold the other party for a few days, with no guarantee of success.

There was a news story where a girl was drugged by a colleague in broad daylight and caught by restaurant staff and surveillance, triggering a huge public outcry. Yet they were only detained for a few days.

Lin Wanwan wasn’t hopeful, unwilling to bother.

If Lin Wanwan was indeed going through a rough patch, she was stopped at the compound’s gate when Lu Shouyue drove her out.

The security said there was a special situation in the compound, and the whole place was locked down!

Lin Wanwan was shocked, realizing that she couldn’t leave once there. Would she be forced to start a cohabitation life with Lu Shouyue?

Running out of Yongcheng’s range, Lin Wanwan would activate the Space-Time Gate to go to the Great Tang, where the maps would definitely refresh to a thousand years ago in Hai City!

In the slow transportation of the Great Tang, to get back to Mao County from Hai City, taking a boat seemed the only way.

But even with a boat, one day isn’t enough. Referencing the travel time from Mao County to Qiantang makes it clear.

The crucial point was if she traveled via the Space-Time Gate to the Great Tang and then took a boat back to Mao County, what would happen here in the modern era? Her disappearance would cause a big fuss, and it would be strange if Lu Shouyue didn’t report it.

Upon consideration, it seemed like she’d have to wait until nighttime to act.

Allowing ten hours for sleep, she’d have forty hours in the Great Tang, enough to run to Mao County and back and arrange some matters.

It required pulling an all-nighter; she wasn’t sure if she could cope.

Plus, it was only eight in the morning now; she’d have to wait until eight at night to do anything.

During this time, she’d have to wait idly, even factoring in the time difference. In the Great Tang, it was three hours anyway. Regardless of her rushing from Hai City to Mao County, she’d be disappearing in the Great Tang for an entire night.

Will her family report it? Will they search the mountains? Will it alert Xiao Chong? If it alerts Xiao Chong, how would she cover this up?

What to do!!!

Someone give some advice, waiting for help online, feeling so anxious!!!

Lin Wanwan, dejectedly, followed Lu Shouyue back to the underground garage, took the elevator to the upper levels, and returned to Lu Shouyue’s place.

The door opened, they exchanged a glance and simultaneously smiled, both having mixed feelings.

Lin Wanwan was troubled, but Lu Shouyue was captivated!

The lockdown was too timely. Since it’s enforced, it won’t be removed for at least half a month.

He would be living with Lin Wanwan for half a month; what opportunity could be better than this one to pursue a romantic interest?

Lu Shouyue felt lucky having decisively brought Lin Wanwan home last night instead of sending her to the hospital. Otherwise, trapped outside today wouldn’t be as pleasant.

Though ecstatic inside, inwardly flipping with joy several times, he maintained calm on the surface.

It turns out that the stories about people going for a date and ending up unable to return home, leading to marriage half a month later, were indeed true!
