Chapter 699: Chapter 695: So He Really Did Know
Although the super luxurious yacht in front of her looks very much like something out of an idol drama, dreamy and fantastical, Lin Wanwan wonât be swayed by sweet talk. If she doesnât rush back to the Great Tang Palace on duty, her life in Great Tang is going to experience a major change.
Imperial power reigns! No reasoning with it.
Lu Shouyue said, "I promise to get you back to your little courtyard before dawn, so you wonât miss your closed-door cultivation, okay?"
Lin Wanwan sighed, "Ah, Mr. Lu, you have too many tricks up your sleeve, itâs overwhelming."
"I hope you will like my arrangements."
Lu Shouyue smiled as he pulled her hand to his lips and kissed it.
Celebrating the Qixi Festival on a yacht, this was a plan he decided on long ago after seeking help online.
Since Wanwan couldnât find time on the day itself, he decided to celebrate early!
Flowers cover the path, illuminated by lights.
The sun set in the west, casting a layer of enchanting golden light over the yacht.
This super yacht was a coming-of-age gift from Lu Shouyueâs grandfather, along with the port, which he occasionally uses for business receptions.
But more often, itâs used by his father for hosting important guests or acquaintances whose identities are best kept private, with all the staff on board having signed confidentiality agreements.
His mother also uses it a few times a year to throw parties, exhibitions, or shows.
Overall, Luâs father uses it most frequently, so the daily expenses are covered by the Times Company headquarters.
Lin Wanwan had only ever seen such a dense array of roses, red, pink, white, blueâeverything, on TV.
Sheâs truly mesmerized, is this a copied plot from idol dramas? Itâs just crazy!
"Mr. Lu, why did you make such a big scene?" Lin Wanwan asked looking up at him.
Lu Shouyue laughed, "Does Wanwan like it?"
"Well, it feels a bit wasteful," Lin Wanwan casually plucked a blue rose, brought it to her nose, and sniffed lightly. "Who wouldnât like such beautiful flowers, Iâve never received flowers before."
Lu Shouyue was delighted to hear this: "Then thatâs great, Wanwanâs first time belongs to me."
Lin Wanwan glared at him, clearly on purpose!
Lu Shouyue laughed heartily and scooped her up horizontally, heading toward the outdoor sofa at the bow of the ship.
"Ah! What are you doing! You scared me!" Lin Wanwan was startled by Lu Shouyueâs surprise move, and while speaking she instinctively held onto his neck, afraid of falling.
A few days ago, Gu Jingyu had just shared a behind-the-scenes clip of princess carry moments in the entertainment circle, showing that romantic princess carries on camera often have assistance off-camera.
The male protagonist often couldnât lift the female protagonist, even if she was very slim.
But clearly, Lin Wanwanâs worry was unnecessary.
Some actors, the fresh faces of the entertainment circle, canât do it, but her boyfriend can.
Lu Shouyueâs abs are the result of real training, not the result of injections or drugs.
At the outdoor sofa area also covered in flowers, they sat closely together (someone chose not to sit in the ample space and instead squeezed next to Lin Wanwan), surrounded by the fragrance of flowers.
The idea of covering the area with roses wasnât actually Lu Shouyueâs arrangement, but his motherâs suggestion.
He hadnât thought of this idea, the candlelight dinner was derived from some advice online.
Because Lu Shouyue had decided to move the Qixi Festival activities to today, it coincided with his motherâs tea gathering.
As a result, Ye Yinyin discovered Lu Shouyue was celebrating Qixi, and immediately altered her plans to accommodate her son.
The first time her son showed interest, finally breaking out of his shell, she naturally had to lend a hand.
Ye Yinyin, spending her idle time browsing Thai dramas, was always concerned about the oblivious only child in her family. She feared heâd bring a man home someday instead, since he had always been interested in either antiques or making money, never mentioning any female classmate or girlfriend.
Having finally seen her son showing interest in a woman, she of course wanted to assist.
In the Lu family, Ye Yinyin has the wildest imagination, loving to create surprises (and shocks), likely because artists are so imaginative.
"Wanwan, have you ever seen the sunset at sea before?" Lu Shouyue asked, tilting his head towards her.
Lin Wanwan reminisced for a moment, "I might have."
The year she set out from Mao County for Qiantang, she sailed at dusk.
"Oh." Lu Shouyue nodded, "But today is definitely Wanwanâs first time watching it with her boyfriend."
Thatâs obvious.
Lu Shouyue and Lin Wanwan watched the stunning sunset on the deck, hand in hand, step by step through illuminated pathways, past flowers, arriving at the flower-adorned dining room ready for a candlelight dinner.
