Chapter 809: Chapter 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 womenâs clothing for all seasons, all selected directly by brand sales representatives.
Therefore, this serene Chinese courtyard naturally has womenâs clothing suitable for Lin Wanwanâs 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 Shouyueâs 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 itâs a week earlier than last month!
This really sucks! And sheâs 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 sheâd stay there forever, Lu Shouyue had already dialed the hotelâs 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 â 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.
"Weâre 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 couldnât think of a good one. She couldnât 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 wouldnât suffice.
Losing too much blood every month might be why she canât gain weight no matter how much she eats.
As for going out in a nightgown, she couldnât care less. Although itâs quite inappropriate and cold outside, she had no choice!
Luckily, on the first floor of the estateâs hotel, there was a quick shop selling imported goods, including womenâs sanitary products, so she didnât 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, youâre done showering? Come over, Iâll give you a satisfying explanation."
Lin Wanwan bit her lip, "I... I need to go out first, weâll 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, Iâve had the surveillance pulled up from this afternoon, youâll see how innocent I am once you watch it."
"Surveillance?" Lin Wanwan looked up, feeling a bit unnatural, "Okay, Iâll 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, wasnât watching the surveillance and finding out the truth the priority?
"What do you need? Iâll have Ah Hao go buy it."
"No need! The quick shop is very close, Iâll go myself!" Really, how could she ask an outsider to buy stuff like that, sheâd 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 thatâs 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 Wanwanâs face, he suddenly had a eureka moment and understood.
"Oh! Iâll 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 didnât 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 Wanwanâs unhappiness suddenly faded upon seeing Lu Shouyueâs blushing face.
She wasnât 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, couldnât 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, "Whereâs the surveillance video you mentioned?"
Lu Shouyue pulled her close into his arms, "Look, weâll watch it at double speed together!"
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 couldnât admit sheâd been wrongly suspicious, so she countered, "Since thereâs nothing, why did you look at her with such deep emotion? Do you think sheâs 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 Wanwanâs head closer for a kiss, then said, "No one compares to my darling."
