Chapter 723: Chapter 718: You Can Only Think of Me
After Lin Wanwan had chosen her outfit, Lu Shouyue finally lifted his head from the computer screen, looked at the new clothes revealing Lin Wanwanâs slim waist, and sighed, "Baby, you look truly stunning. That waist, so temptingâit makes me wonder how I can resist?"
Lin Wanwan responded irritably, "Donât call me baby, itâs so cheesy! Iâm going out on the lake and leaving you behind."
Lu Shouyue closed his laptop and said, "Then, of course, Iâll join you."
"Whatever," Lin Wanwan replied nonchalantly, but inside she was quite happy.
Itâs rare to take a day off, and having a boyfriend accompany you is certainly better than being alone!
Several SV staff members who had just left the suite were now sitting in a business car discussing what they had just witnessed.
With this in-home service, they truly saw a perfect match of talent and beauty.
Someone among them recognized Lin Wanwanâs identity, knowing she was a slightly famous internet celebrity, popular for doing good deeds.
As for Lu Shouyue, he was a super client with their storeâs VIP card. Although they didnât know his actual identity, one thing was certainâhe must be of considerable status.
Moreover, they were staying in the exclusive suite at the Time Hotel, where many peopleâs annual salary would only allow them to stay for one night.
Someone like Lu Shouyue is exactly the type they dream of marrying into wealth.
Every luxury store salesgirl carries the heart of a drama heroine.
Even though they are accustomed to seeing pudgy men come with different female companions to shop every day, they are still filled with fantasies of a domineering CEO, always believing they could meet one.
Today, they really did see it!
An internet celebrity being pretty is one thing, but having such a handsome, wealthy boyfriend is truly envious!
Tall, rich, and handsomeâevery term speaks of heavenâs favoritism. How could one not like it?
"Hey, Amy, did you notice? That handsome guy didnât even glance at us the whole time. How could there be such a rare specimenâhandsome and gentlemanly?" a pretty girl exclaimed, having held in the comment for quite a while.
"Isnât that so!" Amy replied. "But the kung fu girl is indeed pretty. Not just in the internet circles; even within the entertainment industry, her looks would be top-tier. I took a good look at her skin earlier, and itâs natural! No wonder she found such a magnificent guy."
As Lin Wanwan, who was being envied by the SV salesgirls, was now holding the hand of their so-called rare specimen, stepping onto a small wooden boat by the West Lake.
Lin Wanwan sat side-by-side with Lu Shouyue as the boatman stood at the stern rowing.
đđđŠâŻđžđŠđđđđ·âŻđ.đđđ
Sitting in this kind of small wooden boat, it felt like sinking into the water, with any slightly larger waves able to splash into the cabin.
Lin Wanwan actually wasnât fond of sitting in such small wooden boats, as it reminded her of things she shouldnât remember.
Not long after the boat set out, Lu Shouyue casually asked if sheâd ever sat on such a boat before. Lin Wanwan hesitated, lightly murmured "Hmm," not wanting to elaborate.
Lu Shouyue immediately sensed that she not only had sat on one before but did so with a rival heâd never met.
No wonder her expression was a bit dazed when he eagerly pulled her onto the boat.
Lu Shouyue slightly tightened his grasp on her hand, his eyes subtly lingered on Lin Wanwanâs face for a few seconds, with a faint, inexplicably flippant smile at the corner of his mouth, but said nothing.
It wasnât until the boat reached Lake Heart Island that Lu Shouyue suddenly leaned towards Lin Wanwanâs ear and asked, "Wanwan, was your first kiss with me?"
Lin Wanwan recalled Lu Shouyueâs drunken confession and forceful kiss during his birthday last year, pouting, "How dare you speak of it! Youâve forgotten your own deed!"
Lu Shouyue instantly felt delighted, glad he didnât hesitate.
He didnât regret that drunken confession at all; although it failed, it laid the foundation for eventual success.
If he hadnât made it obvious, Lin Wanwan would have continued playing dumb with him.
Just like the inexplicable secret sheâs keeping. Not being made clear means playing dumb.
Lu Shouyue could accept Lin Wanwan pretending in other matters, but couldnât stand her feigning ignorance about her feelings for him.
Lin Wanwan remembered the lantern festival outing with Xiao Chong. Had Lu Shouyue not kissed her first, her first kiss...
Perhaps her expression changed, Lu Shouyue immediately noticed, suddenly turned her face and kissed her fiercely.
Lin Wanwan was shocked; it was broad daylight! Plus, thereâs a boatman!
Actually, the experienced boatman was unfazed by young peopleâs kissing these days; itâs neither unusual nor scandalous.
But Lin Wanwan felt shy and vigorously pushed Lu Shouyue away; this time, she exerted real force, making it impossible for Lu Shouyue to resist.
She gritted her teeth and quietly exclaimed, "Lu Shouyue!"
Lu Shouyue didnât apologize after being pushed away; he merely hinted, "Wanwan, youâve already become mine, so you can only think of me."
"Who is yours? Iâm my own!" Lin Wanwan snorted.
Lu Shouyue chuckled deeply, his chest vibrating: "Yes, yes, then Iâm yours."
He actually had a large query in his heart, wondering about the relationship Lin Wanwan now has with that person from a millennium ago.
However, he feared hearing something he wouldnât want to hear, preferring to play dumb himself.
Once the boat ride was over, Lu Shouyue stopped Lin Wanwan as she prepared to stand and said to the boatman, "Sir, keep rowing. Iâm booking the boat for the next hours."
"Okay!" Although this boat belongs to the public, the boatman benefits from commissionsâall earned directly, so a booking was welcomed.
Lu Shouyue didnât mind if Lin Wanwan had gone boating with others, but he wanted to dominate her memories.
After all, itâs crucial that when boating in the future, she should only think of him!
Substituting old memories with new ones is easier than forgetting them altogether.
Lin Wanwan found it odd that Lu Shouyue suddenly showed so much interest in boating and turned to ask him, "Is sitting in a small wooden boat really that fun?"
Lu Shouyue smiled, his eyes deep, "I like sitting with Wanwan."
"Alright then." Lin Wanwan wasnât concerned; after all, itâs all about enjoyment, and boating is just fine.
She gently leaned her head on Lu Shouyueâs shoulder, with her eyes lowered, thinking of nothing, feeling the slight ripples of West Lake, overwhelmed by a sense of drifting along.
Lu Shouyue embraced her for a moment and then started telling Lin Wanwan about the history of West Lake.
Lin Wanwan was genuinely interested, listening with great attention.
"By the way, Lu... Shouyue, why was the water in Hangzhou not drinkable before the Tang Dynasty?"
Lu Shouyue said, "Itâs due to the underground water quality issues; this place was originally old East Sea land, hence the well water was salty and bitter. Later, during Tang Dezongâs reign, local governor Li Bi dug six wells to channel West Lake water, alleviating the peopleâs suffering from salty drinks. Now you can still see the monument commemorating Li Biâs water channeling."
"So itâs really because of the changes over time," Lin Wanwan remarked with a sigh.
