Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 697 - 693: Inviting a Wolf Into the House

Having stayed in the Great Tang for a day and a half, nearly thirty-two hours, only nine hours had passed in modern times, making it around six in the morning.

For Lin Wanwan, it was as if she went straight from night in the Great Tang to daytime in the modern world, and she had to deal with jet lag again, which was tiring.

She wasn’t thinking about the matter of entering the palace today. Princess Xiangcheng had actually talked quite a bit about palace affairs today, and had provided plenty of information. Normally, she should analyze and organize it before sleeping, but she was too sleepy!

Princess Xiangcheng might be worried that she would make a faux pas entering the palace since Lin Wanwan had a betrothal edict from Xiao Chong, making her half a member of the Xiao Family.

It’s not a big deal to make a faux pas when entering the palace, but making mistakes can be problematic, which is probably why the banquet was specially arranged, presumably to educate her.

However, Lin Wanwan isn’t someone who reflects on herself three times a day.

After socializing and running around for the better part of the day and helping Master Sun for quite a while, she was truly exhausted. She changed into her nightgown and dove into bed to deal with jet lag and get some sleep.

When her phone’s ringtone sounded, Lin Wanwan felt like her soul was still wandering in a dream.

If someone were calling her this early, it would definitely be Lu Shouyue living next door; she didn’t even need to check caller ID.

Lin Wanwan answered the call, and following the instructions from the phone, she groggily got up, opened the door, and then wandered back to her room and continued to sleep.

Lu Shouyue found her half-asleep actions amusing. He left two bodyguards in the yard, closed the door himself, and followed Lin Wanwan into the bedroom.

"Mmm~ Don’t bother me, I still want to sleep! You’re so annoying!" Lin Wanwan buried her head in the pillow, not letting Lu Shouyue kiss her.

"You little lazy bug, the sun’s nearly shining on your behind, aren’t you gonna get up? Quickly, let’s have breakfast together."

"I don’t want to!"

"Then I’m going to have you for breakfast~"

Lu Shouyue cuddled her and rolled around; he couldn’t kiss her lips, so he dropped countless kisses on her ears and neck.

Lin Wanwan felt ticklish and tingling, unable to endure it, she angrily pushed him away and grabbed her phone to check. It was only seven-thirty, and she had only slept for an hour and a half!

This morning she had no plans; she only needed to follow and assist Dr. Liang in the afternoon!

Lu Shouyue didn’t like sleeping in, but he came to disturb her.

She should have known to turn off the phone; when she answered it earlier, she had followed Lu Shouyue’s directions to open the door, almost as if guided by instinct.

Now it’s inviting a wolf into the house, and too late to regret.

"Go away, don’t bother me, I’m not having breakfast, I want to sleep," Lin Wanwan hid under the covers, reaffirming she didn’t want to entertain him.

As a result, Lu Shouyue hesitated for two seconds, then unexpectedly took off his clothes and directly slipped under Lin Wanwan’s covers, making her angry enough to bite his arm hard.

Finally, Lin Wanwan compromised; when shamelessness couldn’t outdo him, she could only rest on his arm and continue to sleep.

Lu Shouyue sighed, but being able to snuggle a beauty in bed, it was worth taking that bite, feeling quite pleased.

He could tell Lin Wanwan was really tired and fatigued, likely experiencing another night of space-time travel.

But trying to catch up on sleep wasn’t going to work for him, so he simply took his phone and checked his work emails.

When Lin Wanwan awoke to the sunlight streaming in, it was already two hours later.

To say she had fully adjusted to the time change would be an exaggeration, but having slept for three and a half hours had restored a lot of her energy.

Lu Shouyue was beside her, engrossed in a book, and upon noticing Lin Wanwan had woken up, he naturally gave her a belated good morning kiss.

After the kiss, Lin Wanwan was still dazed: "Mr. Lu, how come you’re in my bed?"

"You pulled me in," Lu Shouyue replied without changing his expression.

Lin Wanwan looked around the room suspiciously; indeed, this was the room she rented in the Ancient City. Why was Lu Shouyue here? Did she really pull him in?

No way, how could she have done such a thing?

Could it be that subconsciously she couldn’t bear to be without Lu Shouyue?

The incidents from early morning when she was the groggiest felt like a dream, and Lin Wanwan couldn’t remember them.

Lu Shouyue laughed while adding to her "memory" until she suddenly realized.

"Don’t you need to go to work?" Lin Wanwan asked lazily while lying in his embrace.

She only needed to head out in the afternoon, but Lu Shouyue was different.

This guy skipped work, truly too carefree. No wonder he never took over his father’s business; if he were to join Times Group, he certainly wouldn’t have this much free time.

"Nothing important on the agenda this morning, I’m here sleeping with Wanwan."

"Hm, who wants your company," Lin Wanwan grumbled.

"Alright, it’s all me, I just want to be with you," Lu Shouyue laughed.

For Lu Shouyue, having been single since birth for so long, having finally found a girlfriend, he was in a state of "vigilantly gazing day and night."

Work couldn’t compare to the allure of a beauty!

Moreover, his company didn’t require his presence for everything; one phone and laptop allowed remote management.

Lin Wanwan didn’t linger too long in bed and got up — mainly because there was someone on the bed constantly teasing her, which she couldn’t handle.

Sitting for consultations with the master in the afternoon required wearing a mask, so there was no need for makeup. Therefore, Lin Wanwan freshened up simply and sat at the dining table with Lu Shouyue waiting for food.

It wasn’t yet ten o’clock; calling it breakfast was too late, yet calling it lunch was too early.

Luckily, with money, a chef can provide service at any hour.

Watching Lu Shouyue eat quite a lot, Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but ask: "Mr. Lu, did you skip breakfast?"

Before time-traveling, Lin Wanwan had eaten well in the Great Tang, so she wasn’t particularly hungry now. On the other hand, Lu Shouyue seemed starved.

Lu Shouyue said confidently: "Wanwan didn’t eat, so I didn’t eat."

"Tsk~" Lin Wanwan turned on the immunity shield against sweet talk.

Of course, Lu Shouyue hadn’t skipped breakfast for the reason he stated; he just wasn’t accustomed to eating in bed.

In his upbringing, unless sick, there was no reason to eat in bed. If he wanted to cozy up to Lin Wanwan, he had to endure hunger.

After the meal, there was still plenty of time before the afternoon work session at half past one. Lin Wanwan gleefully took out the newly acquired gemstone-encrusted whip and the piece of mutton fat jade to show Lu Shouyue.

The gemstones on the whip needed Lu Shouyue to appraise them, and the jade required him for processing.

Of course, she could also go to other professional jewelry stores, but with others, she’d need to prepare a heap of explanations about the source, which was a hassle and labor-intensive, or else risk suspicion and potential police intervention, which would be laughable.

Now in Huaxia, regulations on unexpected wealth are extremely strict everywhere.

There was no such issue with Lu Shouyue; at his auction house and antique store, genuine treasures came and went every day. Lin Wanwan’s items were insignificant in comparison.

Anyhow, Lin Wanwan knew from the moment a tomb robber burst into Lu Shouyue’s door that her own cover had many loopholes. The other party surely guessed most of it; she could only play dumb.

If, in case, one day she fell out with Lu Shouyue, she wouldn’t be threatened. Worst case, she’d hand over the Space-Time Bracelet to the government, living off public funds!

Of course, that was the worst plan, as just thinking about those who handed over heirlooms only to receive some certificates and slight bonuses was troubling for someone as penny-minded as Lin Wanwan, even if she imagined herself in their shoes.
