Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 651 - 649: First Date

When leaving the department, Lin Wanwan unexpectedly received a weekend gathering invitation from Mentor Liang. It turns out that Liang’s first disciple who had gone abroad for an exchange visit is back, just in time for introductions.

In the end, Mentor Liang also asked Lin Wanwan to bring along her boyfriend.

Lin Wanwan was shocked that she had just gotten into a relationship last night, yet how did Mentor Liang know today.

Finally, through conversations with her fellow disciples, Lin Wanwan realized that, in the eyes of outsiders, she and Lu Shouyue were already a couple.

For a handsome guy who frequently appeared by her side and gave her rides, what other explanation could there be besides a romantic relationship?

These days, after graduation, does anyone really believe in pure friendship between men and women?

Alright, Lin Wanwan admitted she was a bit slow on the uptake.

As she walked out of the hospital gates, in casual attire, leaning against the car window was Lu Shouyue, appearing in the parking lot.

The setting sun cast a gentle glow on him, making him incongruous with the chaotic parking lot atmosphere of the hospital.

Once in the car, Lu Shouyue held Lin Wanwan’s small hand, gazing at her affectionately, making her hair stand on end from the cheesiness.

"Wanwan, after dinner, shall we go watch a movie? A recent hit romantic comedy, interested?"

"A movie?" Having just gone from sleeping in the Great Tang to getting up to work in the modern era, Lin Wanwan was actually a bit tired.

But seeing the little stars of anticipation in Lu Shouyue’s charming eyes, she couldn’t bear to refuse, and so she said, "Alright."

"Great, then we won’t go back to the courtyard yet. Let’s head to Times Square for dinner. There’s a restaurant there with a reputed chef whose skills are supposedly decent. Let’s give it a try."

"Sure, you arrange it," Lin Wanwan responded casually.

Experiencing the taste of romance for the first time, Lu Shouyue’s work efficiency today was extremely low.

Though his main business has the characteristic "no business for three years, but once it runs, it lasts for three years", yet at the beginning of setting up a branch, he was in the tea room holding books such as "How to Date Well" and "Dating Tips", which seemed a bit exaggerated.

Fortunately, there were no customers in the tea room, and the employees wouldn’t disturb him, allowing him to maintain his formidable and knowledgeable persona.

He accomplished nothing significant today, except signing two documents, spending most of the time thinking about tonight’s first date plans.

The dining experience wasn’t worth mentioning; the skills of the star chef of this popular restaurant were simply ordinary for these two discerning diners.

However, after dinner, Lu Shouyue surprisingly took Lin Wanwan shopping, which she did not expect at all. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

With an hour to go before the movie started, there was indeed time to wander around. After all, Times Square is a huge commercial center that integrates department stores, luxury goods, gourmet food, recreation, and educational entertainment.

Lin Wanwan had just gone shopping with Lu’s mother, Ye Yinyin, and received a lot of new clothes, so she wasn’t very keen on shopping, yet Lu Shouyue seemed quite enthusiastic.

His plan to buy things for Lin Wanwan was thwarted by her excuse "the courtyard is small and has no storage space".

"Wanwan, I bought a villa in Ancient City a while ago, you can store as many clothes as you want," Lu Shouyue said with a smile.

Lin Wanwan wasn’t surprised by this, but still refused, finding the current courtyard just fine.

What she didn’t know was that the "rented" courtyard Lu Shouyue referred to was actually bought by him at a price higher than the market rate. And the courtyard Lin Wanwan was renting now, he had secretly sent someone to contact the owner.

Such a meaningful courtyard had to be included in their collection.

Because Lin Wanwan didn’t have a strong desire to shop, they simply wandered around aimlessly, finally ending up in a relatively youthful store.

The sharp-eyed salesperson immediately spotted their outfits and started recommending the store’s special couple’s clothing.

This obviously hit Lu Shouyue right in the feels, and he instantly pulled Lin Wanwan to try them on.

The women’s outfit was a simple T-shirt with a suspender skirt, highlighted by a design from an allegedly famous artist symbolizing the beauty of love; the men’s outfit was matching colored white T-shirt and casual pants.

"Mr. Lu, these clothes haven’t been washed. Is it okay for us to wear them just like that?" Lin Wanwan asked, feeling a bit awkward after trying them on.

Before Lu Shouyue could respond, the resourceful salesperson quickly chimed in, "Oh, ma’am, don’t worry, the clothes were air-washed and disinfected before you tried them on."

This is the grandeur of merchants stationed in Times Square, even if it’s not a resoundingly famous luxury brand, they still present themselves as having the same class as Chanel and Dior, just going down a niche high-end route.

Of course, looking at the price, they’re definitely not budget-friendly products.

In Lin Wanwan’s eyes, they just had very low cost-performance value.

"Wanwan, she said they were sterilized, shall we just wear them? What do you think?"

"Okay then." Lin Wanwan looked at Lu Shouyue and felt that ever since he fell in love, he started to act a bit childish.

However, a usually mature and stable man occasionally being childish can actually be quite an adorable contrast.

In the end, the two wearing couple’s outfits bought popcorn and cola, and holding hands, entered a private cinema booth to watch a movie.

"There’s actually a private booth here, isn’t this Times Cinema City?" Lin Wanwan expressed some doubt about the place Lu Shouyue brought her to watch the movie.

Lu Shouyue calmly replied, "Mm, it’s a unique little private cinema with good privacy. Didn’t you want to watch a movie with just me last time, Wanwan?"

Huh? Did I?

The movie plot was nothing special, but the jokes were indeed quite funny.

With her peculiar sense of humor, Lin Wanwan spent the entire time laughing "hahaha", occasionally having to pull back her hand to wipe tears from laughter.

Lu Shouyue’s plan to naturally kiss in the dark to warm up their relationship in the couple’s booth was completely ruined, as he watched the movie with a wry smile the whole time.

He decided that he would never take Lin Wanwan to watch movies invested by Wang Bocheng’s company again! This guy is too juvenile! What on earth did they invest in!

I mean, why make a romantic movie so funny? Are people here to watch romance shenanigans or comedy sketches!

Lu Shouyue had a thousand complaints, but Wang Bocheng is beyond earshot now.

This low-budget romantic comedy unexpectedly made a box office hit recently, earning his company quite a few targets, and he’s too delighted to care about Lu Shouyue’s complaints from afar!

It’s usually Lu Shouyue’s investments that bring them success, but this time Wang Bocheng finally had a moment of pride and success.

Shortly after the movie ended, Wang Bocheng’s tactless call came through, "Old Lu, how was it? Wasn’t my vision spot on? You’ll be getting a nice bonus this quarter, thank me?"

Lu Shouyue: "Hehe!"

Thank you, and then he hung up the phone.

Lin Wanwan vaguely heard a word or two, turned to ask him, "Hey, Mr. Lu, the movie you took me to see, was it invested by that film company you and your friend co-own?"

Lu Shouyue slightly smiled, like a spring breeze that warms the heart, "Mm, was it good?"

"It was great! Mr. Lu, you have a great eye for investments," Lin Wanwan exclaimed.

The film’s box office has exceeded 1.5 billion, absolutely a successful case of small investment with big returns for a romantic comedy with a budget of only 50 million.

Lu Shouyue: Baby feels bitter, baby won’t say.
