1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 308 Miss, please wait
Li Mingyue watched the car lights disappear into the distance, managing to maintain a composed expression, but her heart was filled with turmoil.

She hadn't expected Lawrence to be so kind.

She could only imagine what the children of wealthy families were like, but surely they shouldn't be this approachable?
If Lawrence were truly a member of the Rockefeller family, and had no prejudice against Chinese people, and was so easygoing, wouldn't she be able to advance her career further?
Lu Youyou took in both of their expressions. Yu Qingtian was still her usual carefree self, while Li Mingyue…

I don't know what this girl actually studied at Stanford. In the end, everyone has their own path, and what kind of life Li Mingyue chooses is none of her business.

After Lu Youyou went upstairs, Li Mingyue became even more silent.

Yu Qingtian wasn't really stupid; she could tell that something was wrong with Li Mingyue. However, given the limited imagination of most people, it was impossible for them to have such lofty ambitions as Li Mingyue.

How can we take this further?

Li Mingyue thought for a long time, so long that Yu Qingtian had finished writing a short paper, while she hadn't even turned a few pages of the book in her hand.

Lawrence said see you tomorrow, which means he will come to pick up Lu Youyou tomorrow.

Morning or afternoon? Should I skip class to stand guard?

Li Mingyue ultimately dared not skip class. With her future uncertain, studying hard was her last resort.

The next day, she sat restlessly in the classroom all morning, and rushed back to her dormitory as soon as class ended.

She could only try her luck at noon and in the evening. If it didn't work this time, there would be another time. Li Mingyue knew that these things couldn't be rushed.

She didn't even have time to eat, and fearing she would miss it halfway there, she started running.

Panting, she arrived near the dormitory building and found a bench where she could see where she had come from, then focused on tidying her clothes.

After waiting for an hour without seeing anyone, Li Mingyue was so hungry that her stomach was practically sticking to her back, but she was still reluctant to leave.

She glanced at the clock on the tower not far away; class was about to start in half an hour, and she could stay for a maximum of fifteen minutes.

Li Mingyue counted down the seconds, and just as she was about to leave, the car she had seen last night slowly drove up.

She cleared her throat nervously, checked her collar and cuffs again, and then took a book out of her bag and held it in her hands.

The car stopped, and Li Mingyue pretended to walk by casually.

"Hi!" Li Mingyue masked her nervousness with a surprised smile. "What a coincidence! Are you here to see Lu Youyou?"

Lawrence turned his head and saw a tense smiling face.

"Yes, I've come to find Lu."

Li Mingyue's throat tightened; she felt that Lawrence now was not quite the same as the one she had seen last night.

No matter how devoted Lawrence was to academia, his background determined his judgment; in his eyes, Li Mingyue was like a blank sheet of paper.

Even though he couldn't see clearly yesterday, he sensed her subtle feelings when they met again today.

One person sat in the car, and the other stood outside. Before coming, Li Mingyue had imagined that, given Lawrence's kindness, no matter what she said, at least her words wouldn't fall to the ground.

But now, Lawrence's smile hasn't diminished in the slightest, yet Li Mingyue can no longer see the approachable demeanor he displayed last night.

The person in front of him seemed stunned, but Lawrence was not going to say anything more to her.

"Excuse me, I need to open the car door."

"Ah? Oh oh..." Li Mingyue's face flushed red instantly, and she took a step back as if she had been electrocuted.

Seeing Lawrence about to leave, she somehow mustered the courage to call out to him, "Mr. Rockefeller..." Lawrence turned around, a perfectly standard smile on his face, and said, "Excuse me, I must leave."

Li Mingyue subconsciously took two steps, and a few seconds later a tall and strong man blocked her way.

"Miss, please wait."

Li Mingyue was startled. When she looked up, she saw a face that was mostly covered by sunglasses, and sleeves that were stretched taut by muscles.

Since his emergency medical treatment in New York, Lawrence has been followed everywhere he goes, with bodyguards and assistants rarely appearing unless there is an emergency.

Li Mingyue was certainly not a threat, but preventing the employer from seeing people they didn't want to see was also part of the assistant's job.

Li Mingyue was stunned; she never imagined things would turn out this way.

Is this... a bodyguard?
She had never seen a private bodyguard in all the time she had been in the United States, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.

Fear, bewilderment, embarrassment... a mix of emotions caused her face to flush red and pale in turns.

Lawrence hadn't gone far; she stood right outside the dormitory entrance, within sight of him. They were only ten meters apart, yet it felt as if a galaxy separated them.

The cold reality made her extremely embarrassed. Li Mingyue couldn't say a word and turned to leave.

Lawrence's voice came from behind, as he spoke to Lu Youyou, his tone as warm as it had been the night before.

As if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head, Li Mingyue finally realized that if it weren't for Lu Youyou, she wouldn't even have had the chance to speak to Lawrence.

Lu Youyou saw Li Mingyue as soon as she came downstairs. She didn't mention it, and Lawrence naturally didn't either.

Even if he didn't handle the family business, he was just one of many heirs. Lawrence had seen many such "thoughtful people" since he was a child, and Li Mingyue's shallow thoughts were not even a minor incident to him.

Meanwhile, Li Mingyue rushed headlong into the teaching building, and her heart couldn't calm down even after class started.

The humiliating setbacks did not extinguish the fire in her heart. Why should she be the one who gets blocked? If this path is blocked, she will be even more determined to stand out!

The delegation's trip concluded successfully, and Gu Qingye returned to China with the team.

In addition to the Water Moon Guanyin statue donated by Lu Youyou, Gu Qingye also brought back two rather heavy suitcases.

This is the "interim result" that Lu Youyou asked him to bring back. It contains not only what Institute 507 needed, but also materials that Tsinghua University required.

Leaving aside the academic materials, the diving suit project alone is a pleasant surprise.

The diving suit that Lu Youyou developed before was a lightweight suit, suitable for a depth of about 40 meters. The 2.0 version that Gu Qingye brought back this time is a heavy-duty suit, which can operate at a depth of more than 60 meters.

Moreover, Lu Youyou also drew blueprints for underwater propulsion devices, as well as other individual combat equipment suitable for use at sea.

Some of it she copied using her Sharingan, and some she brought from the villa's study under the pretense of being abroad. After combining it with the current level of productivity and summarizing it, she came up with this 30-centimeter-thick document.

The 507 Institute was overjoyed, and Gu Bohuai, whose superior unit was the General Staff, naturally also learned of Lu Youyou's outstanding contributions.

When Gu Qingye was summoned by Gu Bohuai, he thought there was something wrong with the data.

"Report."

"Kiyono, come in and sit down."

Gu Qingye walked in, sat down with his back straight, as if the person sitting opposite him was just the team leader.

Gu Bohuai said helplessly, "It's already after get off work, so relax and it's okay. Besides, I didn't call you here on official business."
