Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life Chapter 735 - 730: Dinner Together
Lu Shouyue raised an eyebrow slightly: "What, is Wanwan feeling nervous?"
Lin Wanwan chuckled: "Lu Shouyue, you don’t need to provoke . This tactic doesn’t work on ; I’m the kind who habitually loafs around."
Lu Shouyue grabbed her little hand and placed it in his palm, glancing at her with a low laugh: "Wanwan, you’re nervous."
Lin Wanwan glared at him, then, monts later, deflated and helplessly asked: "Are you serious?"
Lu Shouyue smiled: "Of course I’m serious. Does Wanwan think this invitation isn’t formal enough? Hmm, otherwise I could have my grandmother send you a formal invitation card. My grandmother is quite skilled with ancient etiquette."
Lin Wanwan was amused: "I’m talking to you seriously, be a bit more earnest!"
Lu Shouyue pulled her hand to his lips and gave it a kiss, with so seriousness on his face: "You’ll have to et her sooner or later, Wanwan, don’t be nervous. My grandmother is a particularly kind and gentle old lady. If you don’t believe , ask Ah Hao if she’s very kind."
He then raised his head and called to the driver’s seat: "Ah Hao, how would you describe my grandmother?"
Ah Hao, who was focused on driving, responded with an "Ah" and said awkwardly: "Little boss, did you call ? What’s up? I was driving, didn’t hear."
Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh. In modern society, there’s still soone this intuitive—Ah Hao is overqualified to be a bodyguard, no wonder Lu Shouyue likes him more.
Lu Shouyue laughed too. Of course, he wouldn’t mind if Ah Hao truly didn’t hear or just pretended not to. He simply repeated the question.
Ah Hao replied without hesitation: "The Lu family’s elderly lady is a particularly kind old lady, with a great temperant and a good heart, never making things difficult for anyone. Miss Lin, you can rest assured."
Lin Wanwan sighed: "Oh! Lu Shouyue, you are so troubleso, always giving difficult challenges."
"Hmm, yes, it’s all being troubleso." Lu Shouyue laughed, "Then does Wanwan agree?"
What else could Lin Wanwan do but agree to et?
She’s already t Empress Zhangsun and Empress Xiao—who else in the world could trouble her?
Since Lin Wanwan’s senior brother Kang Hongjing wouldn’t be off work for a while, the two decided to first detour to Tis Square and pick up Kang’s little girlfriend, Pan Xiaolei, after she finished shopping and having afternoon tea with her girlfriends.
The last ti they t, Pan Xiaolei was found to be pregnant, but there was no further news afterwards.
This was only their second eting.
Lin Wanwan had added Pan Xiaolei on WeChat, but she was too busy to check her Monts or respond to ssages promptly, so after Pan contacted her twice, she stopped ssaging.
Pan Xiaolei got into the Cayenne but didn’t see Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue getting in, so she asked curiously: "Aren’t you two getting in?"
Lin Wanwan pointed to the BMW behind: "We’re taking the car behind."
Pan Xiaolei watched them go to the car behind with a surprised look, not quite understanding the situation.
She then chatted with the driver, asking about his relationship with Lin and Lu.
The bodyguard-driver smiled and said: "I’m the driver."
"Driver?" Pan Xiaolei was amazed; these days, people still have personal drivers instead of driving themselves.
Upon hearing the driver was just that, Pan Xiaolei lost interest and began flipping through her phone, editing photos to post on Little Red Book, Weibo, and Monts.
She felt her colorful life needed to be shared to spread the joy.
When Lin Wanwan saw Pan Xiaolei last ti, she was pregnant. Now, she found her to be in a weakened state.
Looks like the unexpected good fortune didn’t stick with her.
Although her face was perfectly made up, Lin Wanwan, having great experience in facial diagnostics, could still tell her condition—most likely, she’d had a miscarriage.
In the evening, at Jie Yuting’s private restaurant, Pan Xiaolei painted things with a slight indifference: "I haven’t been to a small restaurant like this for ages."
Upon seeing the prices on the wall, Pan Xiaolei was shocked. Could this be a shady shop? How co the dish prices rival Michelin restaurant costs?
How could a Michelin have such flair, but what about this restaurant?
Even the worldly Kang Hongjing was surprised by the price at this unassuming little restaurant.
Once the food was served, they both exclaid it was worth it.
"Little junior sister, you found a great spot; the chef here is truly impressive. I’ve eaten at Michelin restaurants overseas, but they weren’t as good as this." Kang Hongjing praised.
Lin Wanwan laughed: "Yes, senior brother, whenever you co to Ningbo, we’ll co here every week."
"Great, next ti I’ll treat you. Though this place is a little pricey, it’s worth it." Kang Hongjing said, as he savored the tender Dongpo pork, nearly swallowing his tongue.
He asked Lin Wanwan: "Little junior sister, how did you find this place?"
Lin Wanwan pointed to Lu Shouyue: "He was the one who discovered it."
Lu Shouyue joked: "Actually, I don’t love introducing friends to this place since everyone wants to co after one visit, making it harder to get in."
The four laughed.
After the al, Lin Wanwan also gifted Kang Hongjing six pills of Sun Simiao’s handmade Angong Niuhuang Wan, and a Centennial Wild Ginseng from the Great Tang.
Kang Hongjing, discerning as he was, was quite surprised by Lin Wanwan’s generosity: "Little junior sister, where do you get such good stuff?"
Lin Wanwan coolly replied: "Senior brother, I’m planning to open a Chinese dicine Hall, so these are just minor things. If you see anything in my shop you like, just take it."
"Wow, I didn’t expect our little junior sister to have such a big mouth." Kang Hongjing laughed.
Anything Lin Wanwan gave—no Chinese dicine practitioner could refuse, just like a fisherman couldn’t refuse a new rod.
Besides gifting Kang Hongjing, Lin Wanwan wouldn’t forget his little girlfriend Pan Xiaolei.
She’d prepared Ejiao and bird’s nest for her, all excellent goods brought back from Great Tang Chang’an.
Pan Xiaolei understood Ejiao and bird’s nest, but lacked the eye to distinguish quality.
"Oh, Wanwan, you didn’t have to go to such expense. I’ve almost had enough of bird’s nest." Pan Xiaolei protested.
Kang Hongjing interjected: "This is not ordinary stuff; it’s hard to buy in the market. Wanwan, you are too considerate. Next ti, there’s no need for such expense; we don’t need such formalities between fellow apprentices."
Lin Wanwan obediently replied: "I’ll listen to senior brother."
Lu Shouyue watched Lin Wanwan with a smile.
This night’s dinner wasn’t his stage; he didn’t understand Chinese dicine. As Lin Wanwan chatted with Kang Hongjing, he focused on enjoying the food.
Pan Xiaolei didn’t understand either, but she enthusiastically joined the chat.
Pan Xiaolei loved sharing her life, and dinner photos couldn’t be missed in her Monts.
She even dragged Lin Wanwan to take a photo together for Little Red Book but later deleted it out of spite because all the comnts praised Lin Wanwan and ignored her.
