Chapter 782: Chapter 775: Preparations Before Casting the Spell
The ultra six-star hotel where Lin Wanwan is currently staying is something ordinary people wouldnât dare to imagine, just like the connections and resources it possesses are beyond ordinary peopleâs imagination.
The joy of the rich lies in the fact that money can make most things go smoothly.
For example, right now, not to mention Lin Wanwan just wanting a warehouse to store some rice, meat, and livestock, even if she wanted to open a farm directly, as long as sheâs willing to pay, the hotel can put together a professional acquisition team for her within a day.
In ancient times, time should not be wasted unnecessarily. Since nothing is happening now and Lin Wanwan canât sleep, she decides to order a massage and beauty service from the hotel suite.
The skilled and soft hands of the pretty girls apply essential oils, massaging on her body, relieving the fatigue of the day.
After the massage, she turns over, closes her eyes, and enjoys a facial treatment, from a uniquely styled facial to a specially formulated mask thatâs more expensive than gold, the whole process epitomizes luxury and indulgence.
Her hands are not idle either, as a pretty girl sits next to her, doing her nails and manicure.
Lin Wanwan doesnât like messy diamonds and stickers because they are inconvenient, but she loves the quiet, elegant yet unconventional French translucent manicure.
As Lin Wanwan enjoys the luxury of being wealthy in her suite, Lu Shouyue, who also canât sleep in another room, hears the noise and comes out.
The suite has a dedicated beauty room, and Lin Wanwan is now lying on the beauty bed inside, enjoying a facial while getting her nails and feet done after a massage.
When Lu Shouyue comes in, he gestures "shhh" to the beauticians busy serving Lin Wanwan, and they respond with knowingly smiling and nodding.
Lu Shouyue observes silently for a while, then walks to the bedside, where a beautician sensibly brings him a stool.
He sits there and starts massaging Lin Wanwanâs scalp, just like petting a cat.
Even though the scalp massage was added on-the-fly, it feels very comfortable. Lin Wanwan only feels like the pretty girlâs hands have grown larger, but she doesnât think much of it.
It is only when the hand pinches her neck twice that a familiar feeling hits her heart, and Lin Wanwan realizes somethingâs unusual.
She suddenly opens her eyes, seeing Lu Shouyue smiling above her, and exclaims, "Why arenât you sleeping either?"
Lu Shouyue laughs and replies, "If Wanwan doesnât sleep, of course, I wonât sleep either. Let me take care of my wife properly."
"Whoâs your wife!"
"You are."
Seeing the two start flirting, the beauticians discreetly leave.
"Hey, wait, donât leave, keep doing what youâre doing." Lin Wanwan doesnât want her beauty and manicure session to end halfway.
Hearing Lin Wanwanâs request, the beauticians naturally stay and continue their service, focusing on their work.
Some daring ones may steal a glance at this super VIP couple, both handsome and beautiful, shining brightly among others.
Theyâve seen many beauties and beasts, young studs and rich ladies living here, but this well-matched couple is a rare sight.
To live in the top suite and be this good-looking, theyâre truly a celestial couple.
Lu Shouyue realizes Lin Wanwan doesnât want people to leave because sheâs afraid he might act out, which makes him chuckle.
Knowing clearly that Lin Wanwan doesnât want to do what he wants in the hotel, he doesnât have the willpower to challenge it repeatedly.
He stops himself every time at the last moment, fearing it would affect his future performance.

"Wanwan, tonight is New Yearâs Eve; shall we wait for the countdown together?"
"Forget it, itâs just the solar New Year. I celebrate the Spring Festival. For me, the Lunar New Yearâs Eve is the real New Yearâs Eve." Lin Wanwan has never been keen on New Year celebrations.
Over the years, the only New Year she celebrated with a sense of ceremony was that time they attended a New Yearâs Eve concert together with Lu Shouyue.
Seeing Lin Wanwan disinterested, Lu Shouyue doesnât insist.
"Alright, you continue enjoying the service, and Iâll go read in the study." The beauty room is too crowded, and with the beauty lying there but inaccessible, he might as well retreat to read quietly.
"Off you go!" Lin Wanwan says happily, "You rest early too!"
She genuinely hopes Lu Shouyue goes back to his room to sleep soon, or else when the butler arranges for the warehouse stuff for her, she wonât be able to go out.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan suddenly recalls a plot from the novel âThe Sentimental Swordsman and Ruthless Sword,â where Lin Xianâer gives Ah Fei sleeping pills every night before turning into the mastermind behind the scenes.
If she married Lu Shouyue, would she also have thoughts like Lin Xianâer?
After all, she basically chooses to traverse time at night between the two realms because itâs convenient for time management.
Or maybe, she could bring Lu Shouyue along? Anyway, Lu Shouyue probably suspected it but did not speak of it openly.
She already tried bringing someone from ancient times using little Qingyu, which didnât work. She hasnât tried bringing people from modern times to ancient times yet.
How about trying it in the future?
When Lin Wanwan finishes her beauty treatment, with her nails dried and the dead skin and calluses on her feet removed, the suiteâs butler returns after completing the tasks.
In two and a half hours, even at night, everything Lin Wanwan needs is ready; she just needs to check the bill to get the small warehouseâs key.
"Miss Lin, do you need me to arrange a car for you to go to the warehouse tomorrow?" the thoughtful butler asks.
"Yes, but not tomorrow, right now." Having relaxed from head to toe, Lin Wanwan now wants to show off her Immortal Law to the immigrants from Lion City 1,400 years ago.
Lin Wanwan going out naturally makes Lu Shouyue curious.
Hearing the commotion, he puts down his book, looks at his watch, and exits the study to find Lin Wanwan in the living room. Seeing her dressed in ethereal wide-sleeved attire, he asks, "Wanwan, going out this late? Let me accompany you?"
Lin Wanwan, changing into crystal shoes by the entrance, replies, "No need, I have some personal matters. Iâll be quick."
"Even though Lion City claims to have the best security in the world, itâs still nighttime. Let me accompany you?" Even though he knows Lin Wanwan is not weak, Lu Shouyue is still uneasy.
Lin Wanwan, putting on her shoes, stands in front of Lu Shouyue, hooks her hands around his neck, tiptoes, and plants a light kiss on his lips, "Donât worry, Iâll be right back."
Lu Shouyue wraps his arms around her waist and looks deep into her eyes, sighing, "Alright then, let Ah Hao tag along. He listens well and wonât interfere with anything. Let him follow, and Iâll feel more at ease."
After considering it, Lin Wanwan agrees, so Lu Shouyue calls Ah Hao downstairs.
When Lin Wanwan takes the private passage to the basement, she sees Ah Hao, who arrived a step earlier.
The car and the driver are arranged by the hotel.
Ah Hao sits in the front passenger seat, Lin Wanwan sits in the back, and the car quietly heads to the small warehouse in the suburbs.
