Chapter 497: Chapter 495 Lu Xia Getting the Certificate 1_1

"So you’re the sister-in-law!" Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood the meaning of "family member" and came up to Xia Ningxing with greetings.

"Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hello, everyone."

Her cheeks flushed under the mask, Xia Ningxing responded.

Soon, someone else couldn’t help but ask, "Chief Lu, isn’t your family member feeling hot all wrapped up like that in the middle of summer?"

"It’s fine, she just likes it this way!" said Lu Tingli, with an indifferent expression, using the words she had once used to complain about him to tease her back.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but pinch the man secretly.

Tsk, holding a grudge!

Stinky man!

"I see," nodded the sister-in-laws.

"True, the sun is so harsh these days; if you don’t cover up well, you’ll get tanned!"

"Exactly, look at me, I’ve gotten much darker over the summer."

"I bet she’s too ugly to show her face, that’s why she’s covered up!" At this moment, a boy about five or six years old ran over from somewhere, made a face at Xia Ningxing, and epitomized the term "brat."

Xia Ningxing: "..."

"Shut up!" Lu Tingli narrowed his eyes dangerously, shooting a warning glance at the child.

Daring to speak to his wife like that, the kid was really asking for it!

"Xiaoyu, how can you be so rude!" A gentle woman couldn’t help but come over and pat the boy’s head.

Then she immediately apologized to Xia Ningxing, "Sorry, this child has been spoiled; I’m really sorry, please don’t take it to heart."

"It’s okay," Xia Ningxing shook her head, then heard the sister-in-laws around her calling her "Base Commander’s wife."

So, she is the Base Commander’s wife.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but observe her secretly.

While she was sizing up the other woman, the woman was also sizing her up:

Then she heard the woman say in surprise, "Chief Lu, your partner looks incredibly similar to Film Queen Xia Ningxing, who’s been on TV recently, don’t you think?"

Especially the figure, it’s like they were cast from the same mold!

Their family were devoted fans of Xia Ningxing, so they remembered her features very clearly.

Xia Ningxing suddenly felt her cover was about to be blown.

But even if she was discovered, it didn’t matter; she was planning to go public anyway.

Moreover, as a talented actress, she wasn’t worried that revealing her relationship would cause her to lose fans.

Love me, love my dog.

If they didn’t want to be her fans, she didn’t even want to be in business anymore!

That’s just how capricious she was!

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu, the bratty kid, burst into laughter: "Mom, you must be joking; how can she resemble our Baby Xing? I don’t see any similarity!"

Pfft, as if some random woman could even compare to their Baby Xing!

Xia Ningxing silently gave him a glance.

Alright then, a fan indeed.

She had made up her mind.

She was going to revoke this kid’s fan membership!

The Base Commander’s wife couldn’t help but grit her teeth and grab a stick from nearby to chase him: "You little rascal, you’re really too impolite; I’ll teach you a lesson!"

"Can’t hit me! Can’t hit me!" Xiaoyu quickly ran away.

The surrounding sister-in-laws couldn’t help but cover their lips and laugh, clearly used to such behavior.

"Chief Lu’s partner, since you’re new here you might not know, but Xiaoyu is the most troublesome kid around; don’t take anything he says to heart!"

"Isn’t that the truth? That kid is such a handful."

"No," Xia Ningxing shook her head.

She certainly wasn’t going to hold a grudge against a child.

Just then, Lu Tingli suddenly leaned down, whispering in her ear, "In the future, let’s not have boys, just girls. Girls as pretty and well-behaved as you."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but glance at him.

The big shot must have some misunderstanding about her.

When had she ever been well-behaved!

If their daughter turned out like her, she’d probably be wildly unruly!

"The Base Commander has arrived!"

Someone in the crowd announced, prompting everyone to look up.

Xia Ningxing also looked up.

The Base Commander was a man in his fifties, with a kind and gentle face. He wore a dark blue uniform and stood on the stage with a smile, picking up the microphone and saying, "My dear families, good afternoon to you all!"

His tone was affectionate, as if the researchers in attendance were truly his family.

"Good afternoon, Base Commander!" Everyone promptly replied, showing that the Base Commander was well-respected on the base.

The Base Commander nodded with a smile and continued, "In half an hour, we will board Starfish 1. Now, let us invite the Chief Engineer of Starfish 1, Lu Tingli, to talk about the precautions..."

As his voice faded, applause like crashing waves rose from the crowd.

While clapping her hands, Xia Ningxing looked up at the man beside her, "Lu, you should go now."

Showing her pearly teeth, she urged him on.

Lu Tingli locked eyes with her, his gaze brimming with affection, and then he strode towards the stage.

He was also dressed in a base uniform that day, his demeanor majestic and his posture as elegant as a pine or cypress.

Golden awards hung on his shoulders.

Standing by the microphone, he seemed authoritative without anger, and the crowd below fell silent.

Lu Tingli swept his gaze over the crowd, his deep voice breaking the silence: "Starfish 1..."

He spoke fluently and emphasized his voice when discussing extremely important matters.

Furthermore, he fixed his gaze on Xia Ningxing as he spoke, as though all other people around were mere decorations, and he only wished to speak to Xia Ningxing.

Ripples appeared in Xia Ningxing’s heart, and she watched him without blinking an eye.

Lu Tingli didn’t speak for long, and after about ten minutes, to the slight impatience of the audience, he finished his speech.

After he stepped down, the Base Commander came up again: "Time’s up, everyone please walk orderly toward the north side of the base and get ready to board Starfish 1."

"That’s great!"

The crowd cheered excitedly, especially the children, who were hopping and skipping with joy.

They were going to the underwater world, something worth bragging about for a lifetime.

"Let’s go." Lu Tingli took Xia Ningxing’s hand and followed the crowd.

Xia Ningxing looked at him and then at herself, feeling inexplicably like a child being led by a parent.

"Lu, is this your partner?" Halfway there, they ran into the Base Commander, who immediately looked at them with a beaming smile, yet with no surprise in his eyes.

Because he had already submitted a marriage application some time ago.

Lu Tingli answered firmly, "Yes!"

"Not bad, not bad, a real beauty," the Base Commander said with another laugh.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

After the Base Commander left, Xia Ningxing tugged at the hem of his clothes, unable to resist teasing, "Your Base Commander really has a way with words. I’m wrapped up so tightly, and he still says I’m a beauty!"

Could he possibly have x-ray vision?

"Beauty lies in the bones, not the skin," Lu Tingli said, looking at her with his long, narrow, and deep eyes. The corners of his thin lips turned up, and he spoke earnestly, "Besides, your exceptional beauty, even if hidden by a hat or other things, can still be felt by others!"
