Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life
Chapter 809 - 772: Awkward
Previously, it was mentioned that ever since Lu Shouyue started dating Lin Wanwan, he instructed people to stock the houses he would stay in with women’s clothing for all seasons, all selected directly by brand sales representatives.
Therefore, this serene Chinese courtyard naturally has women’s clothing suitable for Lin Wanwan’s size.
Lu Shouyue walked into the closet, grabbed a soft nightgown and a set of underwear, then knocked on the bathroom door: "Wanwan, you forgot to bring your change of clothes."
The bathroom door opened slightly, and a fair arm reached out. Lu Shouyue hurriedly handed over the clothes.
Lin Wanwan took off her half-wet clothes and turned on the hot shower, her mind cluttered with thoughts.
The warm air blown down by the bathroom heater, combined with the hot water on her skin, gave her a slight burning sensation, but afterward felt comfortable.
Her anger had subsided, possibly subconsciously making excuses for Lu Shouyue’s actions just now.
As she was about to finish showering, Lin Wanwan suddenly felt something wrong in her lower abdomen.
Oh no! Why did my period start at a time like this!
She silently calculated the days, realizing it’s a week earlier than last month!
This really sucks! And she’s still upset with Lu Shouyue. Should she ask him to buy her those essentials at a time like this?
This is just too embarrassing, her momentum would be totally lost!
Lin Wanwan felt like crying but had no tears. What a disastrous day!
Not only did she face betrayal, but her period came early too.
As Lin Wanwan lingered in the bathroom as if she’d stay there forever, Lu Shouyue had already dialed the hotel’s front desk from the living room, instructing them to pull up the lobby surveillance video.
Even though the hotel was transferred to Lin Wanwan, the residual influence of Lu Shouyue as the former owner still lingered among the employees. After all, it was Lu Shouyue who built the estate from scratch six or seven years ago.
Now that Lu Shouyue requested surveillance, the staff in charge of monitoring naturally complied without hesitation.
Yes, the solution Lu Shouyue thought of is simple and straightforward — showing Lin Wanwan the lobby surveillance.
The footage would prove his innocence, letting Lin Wanwan know he only exchanged less than three sentences with the female reporter.
"We’re not leaving today. You two can stay in the room on the first floor," Lu Shouyue instructed while carrying the laptop with the surveillance footage upstairs.
"Okay, boss."
The two bodyguards in the courtyard were no strangers to staying here, having been here several times before with Lu Shouyue, so they knew the routine.
They stayed on the first floor, not disturbing the couple on the second floor at all.
Meanwhile, Lin Wanwan stood under the hot water, contemplating solutions but couldn’t think of a good one. She couldn’t stay in the bathroom forever.
Feeling frustrated, she turned off the hot water, wiped her body with a nearby towel, then used some toilet paper as a temporary measure, and put on the nightgown.
She had to go buy those essentials immediately!
Because her flow in the first two days was always heavy, a few pieces of toilet paper wouldn’t suffice.
Losing too much blood every month might be why she can’t gain weight no matter how much she eats.
As for going out in a nightgown, she couldn’t care less. Although it’s quite inappropriate and cold outside, she had no choice!
Luckily, on the first floor of the estate’s hotel, there was a quick shop selling imported goods, including women’s sanitary products, so she didn’t need to go far.
Lu Shouyue, sitting on the bedroom sofa with his laptop watching the surveillance footage just forwarded, turned around at the sound of the door opening and greeted, "Wanwan, you’re done showering? Come over, I’ll give you a satisfying explanation."
Lin Wanwan bit her lip, "I... I need to go out first, we’ll talk later."
With that, she headed to the door.
Lu Shouyue thought she was upset and wanted to leave, quickly put down his laptop and grabbed her.
"Wanwan, even if you want to convict me, you should give me a chance to appeal, right?" Lu Shouyue said, holding her wrist, "Come here, I’ve had the surveillance pulled up from this afternoon, you’ll see how innocent I am once you watch it."
"Surveillance?" Lin Wanwan looked up, feeling a bit unnatural, "Okay, I’ll watch it later, I need to go out and buy something first, let go of me."
Lu Shouyue paused, confused as to what Lin Wanwan needed to buy at a time like this, wasn’t watching the surveillance and finding out the truth the priority?
"What do you need? I’ll have Ah Hao go buy it."
"No need! The quick shop is very close, I’ll go myself!" Really, how could she ask an outsider to buy stuff like that, she’d die on the spot!
Lu Shouyue was puzzled, why did Wanwan react so strongly to his suggestion of sending Ah Hao to buy?
What on earth does she need to buy that’s so mysterious?
Lu Shouyue looked at Lin Wanwan standing uneasily like a little mermaid, utterly confused.
Lin Wanwan was mortified; she should be demanding explanations from Lu Shouyue with full force now, but that momentum was spoiled by the sudden visit from "relative."
Lu Shouyue stood for a while, seeing the blush spreading across Lin Wanwan’s face, he suddenly had a eureka moment and understood.
"Oh! I’ll go buy it for you." Without even grabbing a coat, Lu Shouyue turned and went downstairs with his phone.
Lin Wanwan watched his quickly disappearing silhouette, seemingly catching a glimpse of his embarrassment, unable to help but chuckle.
Lu Shouyue returned quickly, carrying a fully loaded black plastic bag. He handed it to Lin Wanwan, with an awkward expression, "I didn’t know which ones were suitable, you can pick yourself."
Ha! The quick shop clerk was quite considerate to use a black plastic bag. Otherwise, imagining Lu Shouyue walking through the hotel lobby with a bag full of sanitary pads under various gazes would be quite something.
Lin Wanwan’s unhappiness suddenly faded upon seeing Lu Shouyue’s blushing face.
She wasn’t embarrassed anymore seeing his embarrassment!
Indeed, everything needs contrast.
Really, periods are such a natural thing! Why should she be embarrassed!
"Thank you!" Lin Wanwan energetically took the black bag and turned to re-enter the bathroom.
Lu Shouyue sighed lightly, recalling his feigned composure when asking the store clerk to give him one of each type of sanitary pad. It felt quite regrettable.
Wanwan really knows how to trouble me!
He silently complained in his heart, yet found it amusing, couldn’t help but hold his forehead and sat down on the sofa.
Lin Wanwan, finished with her own affairs, returned to Lu Shouyue as if nothing had happened, asking him, "Where’s the surveillance video you mentioned?"
Lu Shouyue pulled her close into his arms, "Look, we’ll watch it at double speed together!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The video clearly showed how Hu Lina arrived, waited, and then blocked Lu Shouyue, all captured in detail.
Alright, she really had wronged him.
But Lin Wanwan couldn’t admit she’d been wrongly suspicious, so she countered, "Since there’s nothing, why did you look at her with such deep emotion? Do you think she’s good-looking?"
Deep emotion? Seriously, he had no interest in others whatsoever, only favoring the unreasonable little lady in front of him.
Lu Shouyue smiled, pulling Lin Wanwan’s head closer for a kiss, then said, "No one compares to my darling."
