Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 719 - 714: Stay at My Place

After replying to her WeChat messages, Lin Wanwan put away her phone and headed towards the nearby star-rated hotel, planning to rent a room and get a good sleep.

However, she hadn’t walked more than a couple of steps before she ran into her cousin Gong Mingyu and her roommate Chen Chaofeng.

The two young women were arm-in-arm, out for a night snack, and it was Chen Chaofeng who noticed Lin Wanwan first, excitedly waving her hand to say hello, "Wanwan! What a coincidence! You’re in Yu City? Why didn’t you call me! Come, come, any day is a good day to meet, let me treat you to some crayfish!"

Upon seeing Lin Wanwan, the smile on Gong Mingyu’s face turned a bit awkward.

Though they were cousins, she was well aware of Lin Wanwan’s dislike for the Gong family.

Under such circumstances, it’s likely the other party wouldn’t want to talk to her.

Out of politeness, she simply greeted, "Wanwan sis."

Lin Wanwan turned towards the voice and, seeing the two, nodded lightly, "What a coincidence, I’m here to have fun for a couple of days. No need for crayfish. By the way, are you still staying at the old place?"

"Yes, we’re still living in that nearby duplex apartment." Chen Chaofeng hurriedly pulled Gong Mingyu along as they walked enthusiastically towards Lin Wanwan, exclaiming, "Wow, Wanwan, you look so beautiful in ancient attire!"

"You’re too kind." Lin Wanwan replied modestly.

At that moment, she was still dressed in ancient attire, although she had modern clothes in her canvas bag, she hadn’t changed yet.

She planned to take a nice bath in the modern hotel bathroom before changing clothes.

"You really look like a fairy in ancient clothes, descended from the heavens." Chen Chaofeng laughed and continued to praise, "Fairy, give me a chance to be your host. You’re in Yu City, let me treat you to a meal. Mingyu and I were just heading out for some crayfish, join us!"

Lin Wanwan was already feeling quite sleepy and didn’t have the energy to go out and feast, so she politely declined, saying next time if there’s a chance.

Just as Chen Chaofeng was about to speak again, Lin Wanwan’s phone started ringing.

She made a sorry gesture to the two, and Chen Chaofeng smiled and closed her mouth, pulling Gong Mingyu to wait by the side.

Lin Wanwan answered the call, smiling, "Mr. Lu, have you had dinner?"

The caller was Lu Shouyue, who had seen Lin Wanwan’s reply.

"Wanwan, what did you just call me?"

Lin Wanwan paused for a moment, then said, "Shouyue?"

A low laugh came through on the other end, "Ah, babe, that’s better. Weren’t you supposed to return to Yongcheng, why did you end up in Yu City?"

Lu Shouyue hadn’t been in touch with Lin Wanwan for over a week, and he couldn’t wait any longer. On the agreed day, no matter how busy he was, he quickly tidied up and returned from Hai City to Yongcheng.

As it turned out, not only was Lin Wanwan a day late, but she also went to Yu City instead. He truly was... so bewildered!

Lin Wanwan blushed at Lu Shouyue’s cheesy "babe, that’s better," grateful that the dim street lights hid her face.

She avoided Chen Chaofeng and Gong Mingyu’s gaze, facing the road, unconsciously showing a smile, "I suddenly wanted to see West Lake, so I came."

"Little liar." Lu Shouyue’s teasing, half-joking whisper seemed to come with its own warmth, making Lin Wanwan’s ears slightly red, "So when are you coming back? Shall I come pick you up?"

"No need, no need." Lin Wanwan quickly declined, "I’m going to play here for a few more days, you do your thing, don’t worry about me."

Lu Shouyue was silent for a moment, his mind flashing to his regularly booked suite at the Time Hotel in Yu City and the spacious lakeside villa by West Lake.

After a quick analysis of the pros and cons, Lu Shouyue calmly and assertively said, "Wanwan, I have a suite booked at the Time Hotel in Yu City, right by West Lake with a 180-degree view, go stay there."

Lin Wanwan hesitated, "A suite at the Time Hotel? Isn’t that expensive?"

With the approach of the October holiday, in a super five-star hotel located in the West Lake scenic area, the suite price is imaginable.

Though Lin Wanwan wasn’t short on money, spending several tens of thousands per night on a suite was still a bit extravagant for her.

In modern times, it’s not easy for her to convert assets, unlike in the Great Tang, where she spents freely with pepper.

A low laugh came from Lu Shouyue on the other end, "Babe, you’re worried about money while staying at your own hotel?"

Lin Wanwan was speechless, "It’s your hotel, not mine."

Without hesitation, Lu Shouyue said, "We’ll be family sooner or later."

Since Chen Chaofeng and Gong Mingyu were still waiting, Lin Wanwan felt embarrassed to chat for too long, so she said, "What nonsense. I’ll think about it, but for now I won’t talk longer. I’ve bumped into two friends, let me chat with them for a bit."

"What friends? Do I know them?" Actually, he wanted to ask if they were male or female, but was afraid of appearing petty, so he phrased it differently.

Fortunately, Lin Wanwan didn’t catch on to this and said directly, "Just some girls I used to know when I rented here to write novels next door."

Hearing it was girls, Lu Shouyue felt relieved and laughed, "Alright, you go have fun, we’ll talk later."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye, love you, babe."

"Oh, stop it, so cheesy, I’m hanging up." Although Lin Wanwan was shy about saying sweet words, hearing Lu Shouyue’s unabashed confession made her heart sweet, and after hanging up the phone, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but turn up.

"Oh, something’s going on, is Wanwan in love?" Although Chen Chaofeng and Gong Mingyu had walked a bit away while Lin Wanwan was on the phone, chatting with each other to avoid overhearing,

Seeing Lin Wanwan’s blooming expression under the lights, they immediately guessed that the call was likely from her boyfriend or someone soon-to-be boyfriend.

Gossip is always intriguing and sparks conversation.

Although Chen Chaofeng hadn’t seen her former neighbor Lin Wanwan for a long time, due to Lin Wanwan’s Yongtang cross-border e-commerce connection, Chen Chaofeng had an FBA shipping agency cooperation with her, where Lin Wanwan was her client.

Therefore, Chen Chaofeng naturally wanted to get closer to Lin Wanwan, maintaining their contact.

Yet Lin Wanwan didn’t like discussing personal matters, not only with former neighbors like Chen Chaofeng, but she hadn’t even mentioned it to her cousin Su Yanwei.

Nonetheless, Lin Wanwan presumed Su Yanwei knew about her relationship with Lu Shouyue, as they were in contact.

But she guessed wrong, although Lu Shouyue indeed had Su Yanwei’s WeChat and occasionally had casual chats, he hadn’t told him that he had become his cousin-in-law.

This was because Lu Shouyue cherished a childish little ceremony, hoping his relationship with Lin Wanwan would be introduced by her to her friends and family.

He personally felt that this represented Lin Wanwan’s acceptance and recognition of him.
