Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 508 - 507: Love Beyond Control

Lin Wanwan hadn’t reacted yet when Lu Shouyue suddenly turned her around with force and kissed her unprepared, his cold lips ravaging hers with the scent of alcohol and anger.

He held Lin Wanwan so tightly, kissing her fragrant lips with such intensity as if trying to embed her into his own body.

Lin Wanwan’s mind went blank, her lips and teeth filled with Lu Shouyue’s domineering masculine aura, her hands pressed against his chest unable to respond, falling unexpectedly into this whirlwind of passion.

A moment later, her senses returned, just as she was about to struggle, she suddenly tasted salty tears.

He... was he crying?

All sensations mingled between their lips and teeth, Lin Wanwan lost her strength, unable to resist.

Just as she felt herself almost unable to breathe, Lu Shouyue’s lips finally left hers, but he still held her tightly, his dark eyes reflecting her silhouette.

"I’m sorry!"

This was the first time Lin Wanwan had seen a grown man cry in front of her in real life.

Lu Shouyue hugged her tightly, burying his head awkwardly in her neck, his voice trembling, "I’m sorry, Wanwan, I can’t stand it... can’t stand you pretending to be oblivious in front of me."

Lin Wanwan couldn’t utter a word, even though she was the one forcefully kissed, but in this scene, it seemed she was the one at fault!

"I..."

She was just about to speak when Lu Shouyue’s hand suddenly covered her mouth, as he lifted his head, eyes full of mist, he said mournfully, "Wanwan, I love you!"

Both a confession and surrender. Holding a true heart, trembling, waiting for judgment, fully aware of likely losing, yet still betting everything.

If he didn’t try one last time, he would hate himself.

Lin Wanwan couldn’t bear his deep gaze and looked away, a sour feeling blocking her chest, "I’m sorry..."

Lu Shouyue let out a light laugh and released her instantly, his voice extremely sorrowful, "Is it that man in ancient clothes playing High Mountain and Flowing Water, right?"

Lin Wanwan couldn’t answer, she herself didn’t know.

"Mr. Lu, you, you’re drunk."

Lu Shouyue laughed self-mockingly, "No, I’m very sober, just a little bit of wine. I’m watching myself sinking, completely defeated, without any solution."

After saying this, Lu Shouyue suddenly turned around, quickly went downstairs, and soon after came the sound of a door opening and closing.

Lin Wanwan, lacking oxygen, pushed open her room door and collapsed onto the bed, crying until she fell asleep exhausted.

It wasn’t until the alarm clock woke her that Lin Wanwan was roused.

After staying in the modern world for a day and a night, only six hours had passed in Great Tang. If she returned now, it would still be the early morning.

Since Lin Wanwan had slept for over ten hours since yesterday afternoon, she had no urge to return to Great Tang for more sleep, instead opting to stay in the modern world to study.

Entering the en suite bathroom to freshen up, Lin Wanwan saw her own red swollen eyes in the mirror.

"How did it come to this?"

Lin Wanwan sighed and washed her face, pulling out a steaming eye mask from a drawer below the sink, and returned to bed to wear it.

She didn’t know if the mask helped with the swelling, but something was better than nothing.

After venting her emotions last night, today she felt much calmer.

But as she lay on the bed recalling yesterday’s kiss, she couldn’t help but gently touch her lips.

Her first kiss was thus lost.

But strangely, she didn’t feel resentment, just a sense of lost confusion.

Yesterday Lu Shouyue asked her if it was because of Xiao Chong, and Lin Wanwan wondered, was it really because of Xiao Chong that she rejected him?

She didn’t know, couldn’t answer.

Xiao Chong, the handsome and resourceful Xiao Chong, the heir of the Xiao Family, top-tier gate valve in Great Tang!

Xiao Chong was naturally excellent, being with him was easy, pleasant. But, did she truly have the courage to be with someone from over a thousand years ago?

It seemed she hadn’t really considered it.

Moreover, Xiao Chong’s marriage probably wasn’t up to him either.

Parental orders and matchmaking are the destiny of Great Tang’s family nobility.

Lin Wanwan sighed, not wanting to change the current situation, remaining single seemed the simplest.

Just imagining marrying Xiao Chong, then having his mother ask her to stay with the Xiao Family to serve in-laws, and arranging a concubine for Xiao Chong while on duty, became terrifying.

A cousin can forever be a cousin, but a wife may not forever be a wife.

Might not be boundless ahead, maybe an abyss without return.

She didn’t want them to end up with faces of malice.

"Ah, it’s so bothersome!" Lin Wanwan sat up, yanked off the steam eye mask, and suddenly felt a bit hateful towards Lu Shouyue.

Why suddenly pull her into this entangled whirlpool of love, she clearly hadn’t had any thoughts of Xiao Chong before yesterday.

Yes, she enjoyed spending time with him, every time he visited for meals, she’d mock him but felt joy inside, but is that love?

She wasn’t sure, at least she didn’t have the courage of a moth drawn to flame.

"Men only slow down my money-making pace!" Lin Wanwan furiously tossed the eye mask into the trash. She then took a deep breath, commanded the smart speaker to open the curtains, and stood by the window gazing into the distance for a while.

Once her chaotic mind slowly cleared, Lin Wanwan went to the desk outside her room and pulled out dry ancient medical books to study.

It was all classical texts, she had to slowly study them by referencing ancient Chinese dictionaries for gradual self-learning.

Once absorbed in study, her chaotic thoughts gradually faded.

Time passed quickly, and when Lin Wanwan disengaged from her study, another three hours had passed, her stomach growling with hunger.

Lin Wanwan went downstairs to quickly make some porridge for sustenance, then returned to her room, closed the window and curtains, and opened the Space-Time Gate, arriving in Great Tang.

By this time, Great Tang’s time was already the Hour of the Tiger, a perfect time for an early morning sword practice.

Hong Yan, who heard her movements, was still sleepy. Seeing her trying to get up, Lin Wanwan quickly instructed, "Keep sleeping, I can’t sleep so I’m going to practice swordsmanship; you don’t need to accompany me."

Lin Wanwan was always benevolent to the household servants, so since she said so, and still very sleepy, Hong Yan continued laying down and muddled into sleep again.

While Lin Wanwan was deeply absorbed in practicing swordsmanship, Xiao Yixun next door also opened her door on the second floor, leaned on the balcony railing, watching Lin Wanwan.

With shallow sleep patterns, Xiao Yixun, whether at sixteen or still childish, always enjoyed watching Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan possessed a soothing power for her.

She also practiced martial arts, but only Inner Strength.

Initially training in Internal Cultivation Methods because palace doctors said she was inherently weak and might not live to adulthood, so her mother specially invited a revered monk to teach her this Internal Cultivation Method for health and longevity.

Saying if she practiced diligently to perfection, living into her forties or fifties wouldn’t be a problem.

But what’s the point of living so long?

Previously Xiao Yixun didn’t care how many years she lived, as everyday felt like repetition, boredom to the extreme.

But at this moment watching Lin Wanwan, she suddenly found the motivation to live well.

Thus, she sat in place, cross-legged, began circulating her Inner Strength.
