Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 222 - 221: Almost Blew My Cover
Waking up from a nap, Lin Wanwan stared at the glass ceiling above and suddenly sat up, exclaiming, "Oh no!"
Lu Shouyue, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, closed his laptop and smiled, "You’re awake? What’s wrong?"
Lin Wanwan took out her phone to check the ti; it was almost four in the afternoon, which was six in the morning in the Great Tang. Without her sleeping beside it, little Qingyu might be half-asleep, half-awake, clinging to soone by now.
If Qingyu found Lin Wanwan, it would continue to snuggle up to her pillow and sleep for another hour. If no one was there, it would most likely wake up completely and start crying.
That would blow her cover!
"Mr. Lu, I’m sorry, I fell asleep. Why didn’t you wake ? I promised to treat you to lunch." Lin Wanwan felt a bit down but didn’t want to bla him.
"You were sleeping so soundly, I couldn’t bring myself to wake you. Haven’t you been sleeping well recently? You have dark circles under your eyes." Lu Shouyue took the coat Lin Wanwan handed over, stretched, and placed it and his laptop in the back seat.
Lin Wanwan gave a helpless smile and said, "It’s nothing, just been going to bed late these days, so I’m a bit sleep-deprived. I promised to treat you to lunch, and now it’s almost dinner ti."
Lu Shouyue laughed, "That’s perfect, I’ll treat you to dinner."
Lin Wanwan shook her head, "Sorry, Mr. Lu, I have sothing to do tonight, I need to rush back. I’ve taken up so much of your ti, let’s reschedule another day."
After saying this, she was about to get off the car but found that the car door was locked.
Lu Shouyue started the car, sighed, and said, "Well, in that case, I’ll have to take you ho first."
Lin Wanwan quickly waved her hand, "No, no, go have sothing to eat first, I’m really sorry for taking up your whole afternoon, I can just get a cab."
With a slightly reproachful glance, Lu Shouyue said, "How could I just leave you like that?"
Before they knew it, the car smoothly exited the parking lot and headed in the direction of Lin Wanwan’s ho.
Lin Wanwan said apologetically, "Then I’ll trouble you."
"It’s okay, rest a bit more if you’re tired."
Lin Wanwan smiled and shook her head, "No need, I’ve slept for so long already."
On the way back, Lin Wanwan kept looking at her phone, anxious, and they happened to hit a traffic jam on the Outer Bund Bridge.
Seeing her distracted and frequently checking the ti, Lu Shouyue silently showcased his driving skills, weaving through traffic, ignoring the curses from the car window, navigated through the most congested section, and stepped on the gas to deliver Lin Wanwan to the villa courtyard.
Lin Wanwan hopped out of the car, thanked him, "I won’t invite you in today since I have things to do, thank you, Mr. Lu. Next ti I promise to treat you to a nice al!"
Lu Shouyue smiled, "Alright, I’ll wait for you to invite ."
"Mr. Lu, as I ntioned before about the Ancient Zither, it’ll be in my hands in a few days. I’ll show it to you then."
"Alright, thank you for thinking of ."
"Okay. Bye-bye, I’m heading in now."
Lin Wanwan didn’t continue exchanging pleasantries with Lu Shouyue. After speaking, she imdiately turned around, scanned her fingerprint, and went inside. She needed to change her clothes and head to the Great Tang promptly.
Outside, Lu Shouyue watched as Lin Wanwan decisively closed the door, looking sowhat thoughtful.
Although he hadn’t initiated any investigation into Lin Wanwan’s background, nor had he explored how she ca to possess the Ancient Zither, paintings, and porcelain, he didn’t do it himself, but soone else inevitably would. So, as long as he cared, he would eventually find out.
The main thing was that Lin Wanwan was sowhat of an online celebrity, and information about her naturally leaked out. In the era of big data, everything is transparent.
People like Ye Ying were not rare around Lin Wanwan. They might not know much, but they knew the basic information, which was bound to leak out at so point, mixed with all sorts of truth and lies online.
Lin Wanwan’s identity as an orphan was once dug up online, and it was Lu Shouyue who paid to suppress the news. This ti, he also shielded her from inquiries about the music score.
Yet, his own curiosity kept growing. If it weren’t so outlandish, he would have thought Lin Wanwan’s ho might be connected to so underground palace.
Returning to the Great Tang, sure enough, little Qingyu, unable to find her, was already sitting up in bed, staring blankly at the empty bed. The next second, it would probably wail.
At that mont, Lin Wanwan pulled back the bed curtain, climbed onto the bed with a smile, and whispered, "Little Yu’er, you’re awake, co on, sleep a bit more with mommy."
Upon seeing Lin Wanwan, Qingyu closed its open mouth again and softly called out, "Mommy~"
"Yes, let’s sleep a bit more."
Lin Wanwan, holding little Qingyu, lay back on the bed. Qingyu snuggled its head against her shoulder, found a comfortable position, and indeed closed its eyes and continued sleeping.
If no one woke it up, it could sleep till eight in the morning without issue.
Even though Lin Wanwan was wide awake due to her earlier worries, at the seaside of Mao County, she didn’t need to get up early. So, she lay there with little Qingyu, pretending to nap; if she could nap again, that would be the best.
After relaxing for a bit, Lin Wanwan fell asleep again and was awakened by the ringing "ding ding ding" from the school later.
Little Qingyu was already awake, just lying on the pillow, watching Lin Wanwan. As long as Lin Wanwan didn’t get up, it could stay lying there too. Sleeping next to mommy, even ti seed to slow down.
Upon seeing Lin Wanwan open her eyes, little Qingyu mumbled in the next second, "Mommy, I need to pee."
"Go quickly," Lin Wanwan quickly replied.
The little one skillfully flipped over Lin Wanwan, climbed down from the bed, slipped on its cloth shoes, and circled around the bed to open the toilet lid and sit for its morning routine.
This ceramic toilet was sothing Lin Wanwan bought from modern tis last winter. It was originally designed for pregnant won and the elderly or disabled, a mobile toilet with a hollow interior and a PP material portable inner bucket.
In the Great Tang, there were similar designs, but they were made of wood with covers. The ceramic toilet was much easier to clean, and Lin Wanwan chose one made of antibacterial material because she didn’t want to compromise on comfort.
Since it was used in her own house, with one on each floor, only a few close servants knew about it, so she wasn’t afraid of the information getting out.
When it ca to living well, one should choose comfort whenever possible. Lin Wanwan was in the Great Tang to enjoy life, not to suffer. She found the wooden ones with covers truly inconvenient and felt they weren’t clean, harboring many germs.
There were actually even more convenient mobile toilets designed for RVs, with separate tanks. The top could be flushed with a push, and the bottom had a degradable liquid, lasting four to five days with no odor.
But these were too advanced for the Great Tang’s technology. Lin Wanwan ultimately didn’t choose them, worrying that her household servants might not accept it, especially since the degradable liquid was blue.
