Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 507 - 506: Lu Shouyue Arrives

When Su Yan arrived at the entrance of Laiyue Bar holding the Agarwood Box, he was a bit anxious as he called Lu Shouyue.

Lu Shouyue, who answered the call, ca out quickly.

Taking the box, Lu Shouyue politely thanked Su Yanwei and courteously invited him to co in and join the fun, have a drink, as the bar had been reserved by them for the day.

If Lin Wanwan hadn’t had an argunt with Lu Shouyue, Su Yanwei would definitely have accepted the invitation.

But at this mont, facing Lu Shouyue’s indifferent face, how could he be oblivious?

"Well, I won’t go in. Have fun. By the way, Mr. Lu, my cousin is not feeling well today, so she asked to bring the gift to you. Well, happy birthday to you!"

Lu Shouyue nodded casually, "Thank you."

"Then I’ll be leaving first! Bye! My car is parked by the roadside." Su Yanwei awkwardly wanted to dig a hole to hide, swiftly turned to leave after delivering the box.

Lu Shouyue stood quietly at the bar entrance for a while, showing no expression on his calm face.

Perhaps he’d been out for too long, Wang Bocheng ca chasing after him from inside, "Old Lu, what are you doing? Co in and play cards!"

Seeing the long wooden box in Lu Shouyue’s hand, he curiously asked, "What’s this?"

"A gift." Lu Shouyue said flatly, "You guys play, I want to have a coffee by the river to clear my head."

"Are you okay? You’re the birthday star today, yet you want to avoid the crowd!" Wang Bocheng grabbed him, "Co on, co on, join us inside, it’s so cold out, what’s there at the riverside?"

This bar has an outdoor area facing the Bund.

It snowed last night, and today it’s very cold, coupled with the fact that it’s dayti now, the riverbank was deserted.

Having finished returning the gift, Lin Wanwan felt relieved, though she wasn’t sure how much Yu Shinan’s script would fetch at a modern auction, she guessed it wouldn’t be much different in value from that "Dream Chasing Star" blue diamond.

Lu Shouyue hadn’t returned her ssages, he was definitely angry.

Lin Wanwan knew clearly that she had lost this friend.

The world between n and won is like that, initially stable as friends, a desire from one side to take it further invariably leads to unpredictable changes.

Although she had made the decision, Lin Wanwan’s mood was still low, she couldn’t focus on dical books, attend online video lectures, or even write novels, facing writer’s block.

She spent half a day in the company’s office, scrolling through short videos, reading novels, idling away until noon, then cleaned up the place and went ho to sleep.

If considering the ti of Great Tang, she had already stayed up till the wee hours.

Half asleep, her phone rang, Lin Wanwan reached out from her bed, grasped the phone, and answered without even looking.

"Hello~"

Her voice was still thick with lethargy.

There was a silence on the other end before an uncertain voice asked, "Are you really sick?"

Recognizing Lu Shouyue’s voice, Lin Wanwan beca a bit more awake, yet couldn’t reveal the truth, she could only play along, "Yes."

"Then open the door, let’s go get you checked at the hospital, I’m downstairs."

"No need, just a sleep would do good." Physically strong enough to lift a bull, why would Lin Wanwan need a hospital?

"Co down, I’m waiting for you."

Lu Shouyue’s tone was sowhat strange, he hung up imdiately, not giving Lin Wanwan a chance to refuse again.

Lin Wanwan buried her head into the quilt, internally conflicted for half a minute, and donned her coat to go downstairs.

As she walked out of the villa, she found it snowing again. Fortune, upon seeing her, ca out of the dog villa unphased by the cold and sat by her side.

Lin Wanwan spoke to Fortune, "Co along, let’s open the door for the guest."

Fortune enthusiastically agreed, Lin Wanwan trudged heavily through the snow to the courtyard gate and opened it.

What she really wanted was a little distraction to provide light and courage.

Having refused many people without any feelings throughout her life, facing this person now being Lu Shouyue, she felt inexplicably timid.

The gate opened, with Lu Shouyue clad in a black coat standing quietly leaning against the doorfra, snow nesting on his head, shoulders, and eyelashes, clearly having waited in the snow for quite so ti.

Lin Wanwan swore she had only buried herself in the quilt for a minute at most after hanging up, how could he have gotten this snowed on?

"Mr. Lu, why didn’t you use your umbrella? Co inside quickly."

Lu Shouyue silently stepped in following Lin Wanwan, Fortune considerately closed the courtyard door behind them.

"Has your birthday party ended? Oh dear, very sorry for missing it today, I fell ill and couldn’t attend, but I’ve already apologized with a gift, please forgive ."

Lin Wanwan rambled as she walked into the house.

Lu Shouyue chuckled lightly, "How are you feeling? Fever or sothing? Let’s get you checked at a hospital."

"No, no need, I’m already feeling much better, hehe."

Actually, at the very mont he saw Lin Wanwan, Lu Shouyue saw through her feigning illness.

Her speech showed no change, her cheeks rosy with health and cuteness, not an ounce of a patient’s pallor anywhere.

Today’s weather was very cold, the air conditioning wasn’t on downstairs, making indoors just as cold as outside.

Seeing Lu Shouyue’s nose reddened from the cold, Lin Wanwan said with so pity, "Mr. Lu, why are you dressed so lightly in such cold, sacrificing warmth for fashion?"

After a pause, she suggested, "Why don’t we sit upstairs for a bit, upstairs has floor heating and central air conditioning."

"Alright."

Previously unnoticed in the courtyard, entering the house now, she realized Lu Shouyue carried a scent of alcohol.

When they went upstairs and sat down, Lin Wanwan asked him, "Mr. Lu, would you like sothing to drink? Hot tea or plain water?"

"No need, after drinking the whole day, I can’t handle anything else."

"How did you get here after drinking?"

"There’s a driver."

"Oh."

Lin Wanwan sat opposite Lu Shouyue on the sofa, unsure of what to say next.

Usually, Lu Shouyue would carry on the conversation, but today he was unusually silent.

Lin Wanwan then tried hard to bring up a topic, "Was the birthday party lively today? With your popularity, surely you have many friends. Oh, I saw Wang Anni’s post, she attended too, she dressed really boldly today!"

Lu Shouyue scoffed, "Indeed."

Feeling he was being sarcastic, yet considering he was the star of today and she had declined his birthday party invitation, Lin Wanwan felt mildly guilty, deciding to endure it for now.

Nonetheless, Lu Shouyue once again ended the conversation.

Lin Wanwan stood up, heading towards the sideboard with the thermoregulator for milk, speaking as she moved, "I’ll get you so hot water then."

Before she could take more than two steps, Lu Shouyue suddenly ca up behind her and pulled her into his arms with great force, nearly making Lin Wanwan stumble.
