1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 132: Three Thousand Rivers, Only Two Cups of Water to Drink
After seeing Li Qiwei, Wang Luyao immediately snuggled into his arms like a kitten.

Li Qiwei sniffed the beauty's fragrance with the tip of his nose and moved slightly to show his respect.

Wang Luyao felt something suddenly hit him, and his cheeks turned red, but he did not dodge.

Her relationship with Li Qiwei was just a thin layer of window paper away, and she had already tacitly agreed in her heart that she belonged to him.

But girls of this age are shy and still very traditional after all.

Even though she was very good at directing Xiang Lan, she felt very embarrassed when it was her turn.

In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Wang Luyao took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter, Brother Qiwei, did you call me here to discuss that specialty ceramics company?"

"Don't worry, I've already sent a telegram to my father, asking him to get the best potter in the family ready. We'll start the company when we get back, hehe."

Li Qiwei smiled and said, "Ah, my Lu Yao is really capable now. He can handle these things with ease."

"I'm worried that when I go back, my uncle will say that I've poached his girlfriend."

Wang Luyao laughed loudly, "Don't worry, Brother Qiwei, my father likes you so much now."

"Every time he wrote to me, he would ask how you were doing and told me not to make you angry and hinder your career."

"Humph, he doesn't even care about his precious daughter." She curled her lips slightly.

Li Qiwei comforted her: "You misunderstood your uncle's meaning. He was afraid that I would bully you, so he asked me to concentrate on my work and not think about anything else."

"Hahaha." Wang Luyao laughed, his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, which made Li Qiwei feel itchy inside.

But soon, he put away his frivolousness and his expression became serious.

He lifted Wang Luyao up from his arms, sat her in front of him, and looked at her lovingly.

"Lu Yao, do you know what I want to tell you?"

"Ah?" Wang Luyao had never heard Li Qiwei speak in such a serious tone, and he suddenly felt nervous.

"Could it be?" She seemed to have thought of something in her heart and didn't dare to look into Li Qiwei's eyes.

Although she had been looking forward to it, she had never asked.

Li Qiwei did not keep the secret and said gently, "Lu Yao, when we return home, I will ask my father to go to your house to propose marriage."

"Then, we'll choose a good day and officially get married."

"I will grow old with you for the rest of my life."

call!
Wang Luyao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his face was almost dripping with shame.

As a woman living in the feudal era, she had never heard such straightforward words of courtship.

It was as if an electric current passed through her body, making her tremble uncontrollably.

Immediately, her heart was filled with emotion and happiness, and tears flashed in her eyes.

Even though she is usually carefree and often calls herself Li Qiwei's fiancée, she is also afraid.

Although she knew that given Li Qiwei's character, he would never do anything to let her down, women are naturally sensitive.

As long as Li Qiwei doesn't say it himself, she will always be a little worried.

She was worried that Li Qiwei would meet a better woman and no longer like her.

After all, his status and position are getting higher and higher now, and he has money.

He is tall and handsome, such a perfect man, which woman would not be attracted to him?

She had heard that the princesses in Europe were very open-minded and even openly kept lovers, and their relationships between men and women were very promiscuous.

But she was just a businessman's daughter, of low status and dull mind, and could not bring any help in her career.

If one day her brother Qivi falls in love with those fickle princesses, she would have no choice but to cry without tears.

If Li Qiwei knew what Wang Luyao was thinking, he would definitely cry out in injustice.

He couldn't stand the smell of European women of that era, let alone riding a foreign horse.

He is naturally averse to the powerful and wealthy. The more you are a princess, the less he will care about you.

Wang Luyao saw a negative answer from Li Qiwei's eyes and felt happy.

She heard his personal promise again, and the heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

All the ups and downs of the past year came to her mind. She could no longer control her emotions and threw herself into Li Qiwei's arms.

Li Qiwei stroked her hair and said with a smile: "Silly girl, why are you still crying? Don't you want to marry me?"

"Then you can't escape from my grasp. I own shares in your company."

Wang Luyao burst out laughing, then looked at Li Qiwei with blurry eyes and said softly, "Brother Qiwei, you are so nice."

"I finally waited until you said this in person."

When Li Qiwei saw her bright eyes, white teeth and tears in her eyes, he suddenly felt a surge of anger, his mouth became dry and he swallowed his saliva.

He was confident that if he pushed Wang Luyao down now, the other party would definitely not resist.

But reason told him that he couldn't do that.

He must protect Wang Luyao's principles and treat them as important as his life.

Wang Luyao and Xiang Lan are a little different.

Xiang Lan herself is a maid, a very typical lower-class woman of this era.

Although Li Qiwei never treated her as a maid, but communicated with her as an equal.

But she herself attaches great importance to her status, and being able to follow Li Qiwei is the luckiest thing in her life.

This is true. If it were a young master with a perverted personality who didn't treat maids as human beings, the fate of the maid would usually be extremely miserable.

So her feelings towards Li Qiwei always carried a hint of the complex relationship between master and servant. This was not blind loyalty, but a bit like respect from the heart, and she was willing to devote everything she had.

Li Qiwei can do all kinds of things to Xiang Lan, and the other party will not object. Instead, she thinks that as long as the young master is happy, she is happy.

But the two of them lacked a tacit understanding and the higher level of pleasure that comes from equality.

Wang Luyao made him experience that kind of love, and it was a love where the girl pursued him, and the love never left him and lasted until death.

In later generations, these things are considered to be things in myths and legends, out of reach.

If he wanted women, as the third young master of the Li family, he could have as many as he wanted, but that would be meaningless.

Soul communication is always the most important.

The body is merely controlled by physical and chemical changes; the soul is the other side of philosophy, elusive, mysterious, and extremely precious.

Wang Luyao saw Li Qiwei suddenly in a daze, so he pinched his face and said, "Brother Qiwei, what are you thinking about?"

Li Qiwei came back to his senses, looked at her and smiled: "I'm thinking about our happy life in the future."

Wang Luyao joked, "You teach outside, and I take care of my husband and children, and make money to support the family, hahahaha."

Li Qiwei couldn't help laughing, but he was still prepared to confront Wang Luyao and let her be mentally prepared.

"Lu Yao, if we don't live in China in the future, are you willing to follow me?"

Wang Luyao said without hesitation: "No matter where I am, as long as Brother Qiwei is by my side, it's fine."

Li Qiwei was very moved and held her hand tightly.

Then Wang Luyao asked again, "Why do we have to leave the country?"

“Isn’t your career all in the country?”

"Shanhe Company, and they will open a university in China in the future, could there be any unexpected changes?"

Li Qiwei then told her the entire plan for the City of Science.

Including his judgment on the future domestic and world situation.

Wang Luyao opened her mouth in shock. She knew that Li Qiwei was going to do something big, but she didn't expect it to be so big.

Build a city!

"Doesn't that mean I will be the city lord's wife in the future?"

"Uh." Li Qiwei was speechless. The woman's train of thought was indeed very jumpy.

He was not going to let down his temper at this time, so he said, "Of course, you name the city, and we will build the tallest building in the center of the city."

"We will live there, and every morning when we wake up, we will be able to overlook the entire Science City."

"Wow!" Wang Luyao was immersed in the future described by Li Qiwei. She felt that this was the most romantic thing in the world.

"By the way, Brother Qiwei, where will you build the City of Science?"

In fact, Li Qiwei has thought about this issue many times, but has never made up his mind.

Because he was not sure whether he would be able to acquire such a large piece of land by then.

Although it is the colonial era and there are many unowned lands, it does not mean that you can just plant a flag and issue a declaration and the land will become yours.

Such a big thing must be approved by the British Empire.

Or he could buy land from the British, but they might not necessarily sell it.

Britain is not a fool. As a scientist, you want to build a city of science. What are your purposes and ambitions?

Therefore, Ridgway had to have a reason that Britain could not refuse in order to achieve his goal of building the city.

As for the location of the City of Science, he considered several: Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Irian Island, Australia, etc.

"It has not been decided yet, but I will choose a location close to China so that we can go back often in the future."

Wang Luyao knew that this was done for her sake and was deeply touched.

And if it turns out not to be suitable, she will persuade Li Qiwei to choose a more suitable place and bring his family there anyway.

The two of them hugged each other and imagined the future.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Li Qiwei called Xiang Lan to his side again.

Since he had been holding back and hadn't exercised last night, he first did some morning exercises.

An hour later, he wiped the residue from Xiang Lan's mouth and said affectionately, "Girl, when we return to China and Lu Yao and I get married, I will give you a status as soon as possible."

Xiang Lan was so moved that her eyes turned red after hearing this. "Master, I don't want anything, I just want to be by your side."

Li Qiwei touched her hair and said, "Silly girl, you and Lu Yao are the most important women in my life."

"I won't let any of you suffer any injustice."

"I also hope that you two can get along well."

Xiang Lan said obediently: "Well, Master, don't worry. In my heart, Sister Lu Yao will always be the Young Madam."

"I will serve her as I have served you."

Li Qiwei sighed in his heart, "This is such a good girl that you can't find even with a lantern."

After making a promise to the two women around him, Li Qiwei started his career again.

At this time, an invitation sent by Li San slightly disrupted his plans.
