Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 709 - 704: Setting Out, Going Home

"What’s this?" Lin Wanwan was taken aback and flipped through it carefully, blurting out, "Big brother, so you’re the fool who spent double the market price to buy this little courtyard?"

Lu Shouyue chuckled, "Money isn’t the most important thing; what’s important is that this is where we started. Don’t you want to have it?"

Lin Wanwan expressed her confusion about this sense of ceremony. Wasn’t the place where they started Buzhou Studio’s old shop in Yongcheng?

That’s where their entanglent really began!

"Thanks, but I don’t want it. Teacher Lu, stop giving gifts all the ti!" Lin Wanwan refused, "I’ll be staying in hotels when I visit the Ancient City in the future; I don’t need to buy property here, and it’s troubleso to manage as well."

"You don’t have to manage it; you can hire soone to do it."

Lin Wanwan shook her head, "No, thank you."

After a mont, she added seriously, "Teacher Lu, don’t give such expensive gifts. Although I’m not as wealthy as you, I don’t lack money. If I need sothing, I’ll buy it myself. I’m not used to spending other people’s money."

Lu Shouyue helplessly replied, "I’m not ’other people’; I’m your man."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Wanwan’s face turned slightly red, "Anyway, no, stop giving them to ."

Lu Shouyue sighed softly. Didn’t Old Wang and Old Ye both say won love receiving gifts from their boyfriends? Giving jewels and houses are sure bets, yet he always fails?

Lin Wanwan didn’t want to waste more breath on this topic and quickly changed the subject after expressing her stance.

She brought out a wooden box crafted from gold-threaded nanmu that she got from the Great Tang, with a modern lock installed on it.

Inside were all the calligraphy and paintings she had collected from the Great Tang Chang’an City over the past few months, masterpieces of national treasure quality, worth at least several billion.

"Teacher Lu, um..."

Hearing her call him ’Teacher Lu’ several tis, Lu Shouyue couldn’t stand it anymore and finally leaned in and blocked her lips. After so kissing and nibbling, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Wanwan, what are you supposed to call ? Have you forgotten?"

Lin Wanwan was dazed and tingling from the kisses; she was talking business, yet this guy was so frivolous!

Her cheeks flushed, and she murmured, "Isn’t it all the sa? I’m used to it."

She’s been calling him that for two years.

Lu Shouyue hugged her waist, leaned into her ear, and laughed softly, "How can it be the sa? Does Wanwan feel that calling by na isn’t intimate? How about... hubby?"

Too embarrassing!

Lin Wanwan’s ears felt like they were going to get pregnant, instantly turning crimson! Asking to be called hubby after just three months of dating! How shaless!

"Hubby what! It’s so cheesy!"

"It will certainly be in the future," Lu Shouyue said confidently and unequivocally, "And it always will be."

"Stop interrupting!" Lin Wanwan said sternly, forcefully steering the conversation back, "Hmm, these are my treasures inside, and I need to disconnect for a week. Lu... During this ti, please take care of the box for , okay? Could you help bring it back to Yongcheng?"

"Sure~"

Regarding this matter, there was nothing left to say; Lu Shouyue agreed without hesitation and casually asked, "What’s inside? May I take a look?"

Lin Wanwan thought for a mont and said, "Not convenient now; maybe later."

After arranging matters regarding the national treasures, Lin Wanwan started preparing to travel back to the Great Tang.

However, Lu Shouyue had just traveled a long way to co here, and clearly couldn’t bear to part so soon; he hugged her, refusing to let go, wanting only to be affectionate.

"Wanwan, does this an one week later you’ll go straight to Yongcheng?"

"Yes, right. I’ll continue my retreat studying first. We’ll reconnect once we’re in Yongcheng."

"Oh, alright." Lu Shouyue was pondering Lin Wanwan’s motives for doing this, rembering how earlier this year when Lin Wanwan first ca to the Ancient City, she had also told Su Yanwei and others about disconnecting for a week to relax.

When she ca to the Ancient City, she disappeared for a week, and now she plans to do the sa upon leaving.

There aren’t such coincidences in the world.

It’s known that Wanwan’s location when traveling through ti changes based on her current geographical position.

Considering the speed of carriages and horses in the Great Tang, the journey from Yongcheng to the Ancient City mostly involves a combination of water and land routes, without exhausting the horses, it would take at least a month.

Combining this with the period she disappears in the modern world, does this an the ti flow between the two realms has a fourfold difference?

Lu Shouyue suddenly asked, "Wanwan, regardless of what happens, I’ll always be behind you, providing support. Do you trust ?"

Lin Wanwan froze at his words, sensing the heartbeat coming from the chest close to hers, murmuring, "I trust you."

The national treasures, she wouldn’t even trust a bank vault, choosing Lu Shouyue to safeguard them instead.

"Little liar." Lu Shouyue peered deep into her pupils, unable to resist embracing her further, wanting to be as close as possible, "If you trust , why do you always deceive ?"

Lin Wanwan was at a loss for words, facing Lu Shouyue, unsure how to respond, remained silent for a mont before suddenly inspired, raised her head, and gave him a kiss.

No need for words; body language is the most direct.

Lu Shouyue paused, his heart electrified, blood surging, emotions swelling instantly, no longer concerning himself whether or not she was deceiving him.

As she was about to retreat, he raised a hand to hold her head, deepening the tentative kiss.

The air gradually turned sweet.

The long kiss ended, leaving Lin Wanwan disoriented, her heart pounding, as if in a dream.

Lu Shouyue watched her closely, smiled, and happily released her, sighing, "I really don’t want to part from you."

Lin Wanwan finally ca to her senses, lowered her head and eyes, "I really have to get busy now."

"Fine, once your retreat ends, make it up to ."

After Lu Shouyue left, Lin Wanwan reminisced about what happened just now before locking the door and traveling back in ti to the Great Tang.

The preparations for departure were complete; Lin Wanwan bid farewell to Old Sun, who was also at the manor today, and then got on the carriage, leaving with her family.

Along the way, many village children chased the carriage, reluctantly calling out for little Qingyu.

As little Qingyu departed, there would be no one giving them treats at dusk; the children were genuinely reluctant and sad.

The carriage "rumbled" along the main road; journeying at this ti ant they couldn’t reach the big city that day, only stopping at a small town for rest.

However, Lin Wanwan’s desire to return ho couldn’t be ignored.

Xiao Yixun followed along as usual, Lin Wanwan had already sent ssengers with news to Xiao Deyan’s residence in Chang’an City.

Lin Wanwan left abruptly, without bidding farewell in person to families with whom she interacted in the city, yet she left notes, which servants would deliver to those hos one by one.

In the era of slow transportation, a separation could an forever. Just as she departed, she began missing them.

Reflecting on the people she t during her ti in Chang’an City felt surreal.

She personally delivered Cheng Chubu and Li Mingda, ford a friendship with Princess Changle, learned etiquette from Princess Xiangcheng, and received treasures from Empress Xiao.

She owned quite a few imperial gifts from Li Shimin and served as a wellness doctor for Zhangsun’s family for a long ti.

Her life was fulfilling for one trip to Chang’an.
