Chapter 510: Chapter 508 Lu Xia Getting the Certificate 14_1

Someone soon pulled the person down.

Such a major incident occurring inside Starfish 1 naturally alarmed those who were asleep, and everyone ran towards the scene.

"Base chief, what happened to Chief Lu?"

"Yeah, why on earth would you arrest Wang Ping and his wife?"

Wang Ping and his wife were the two people who intended to sabotage Starfish 1.

Though they were said to be husband and wife, it was only for the sake of the mission; there was no actual relationship between them.

Moreover, their identities had been thoroughly investigated by now, they were... spies sent here!

"What exactly did they do?"

Everyone looked bewildered, bombarding with questions.

The base chief and Lu Tingli exchanged glances, and both chose to conceal the truth.

"It’s nothing serious, just a minor issue. They both need to be taken back for higher-ups to investigate," the base chief vaguely brushed off the matter.

Lu Tingli also nodded his head at everyone.

The reason for not revealing the truth was the fear that it might cause a commotion.

Now that they were under the sea, if any disturbance arose, it would be challenging to control everyone’s emotions.

"So that’s it..." Although everyone was still suspicious deep down, they couldn’t discern anything from the expressions of the base chief and Lu Tingli.

"Alright, it’s all fine now, it’s the middle of the night, everyone should go back to sleep quickly!" After beckoning to the crowd, the base chief took the lead and left.

"Yeah, it’s almost three o’clock, time to sleep."

"If we don’t sleep now, it’ll soon be daylight!"

"Let’s go, let’s head back."

Everyone yawned and returned to their rooms.

"Let’s go back too, Lu," Xia Ningxing said, pulling Lu Tingli back to their room.

Because of this incident and fearing that more troubles might arise if they lingered, the underwater expedition would begin its return journey starting tomorrow.

Otherwise, they still had several days left, including a day planned on a nearby island.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but feel wistful, "The last few days, I need to take a good look at the sea bed, otherwise who knows when I’ll be able to come down here again!"

After returning, she would be busy with a new movie competing for international awards.

Busy.

Indeed, too busy.

While saying this, Xia Ningxing sat in front of the window on a small stool, admiring the fish.

These fish, no, not just the fish, but seemingly all the creatures of the sea bed seemed reluctant to part with Xia Ningxing, constantly following her with longing eyes fixed on her.

Xia Ningxing’s lips curved with a gentle smile; she stretched out her hand and pressed it against the window.

Immediately, several fish competed to kiss the palm of her hand.

"They really like you," Lu Tingli said with slight surprise watching this scene. If he didn’t know Xia Ningxing was just an ordinary person, he would have thought she had some superpower.

Xia Ningxing neither agreed nor disagreed, somewhat narcissistically saying, "It might be due to my huge personal charm!"

No sooner had she spoken than she heard him slowly say in her ear, "But, I like you more!"

His voice was tender and lingering.

Xia Ningxing turned her face and met his gaze, "I like you too, Lu."

Lu Tingli hugged her from behind, "It’s better to return early. Then I can immediately go to your family to ask for your hand."

"Are you that eager?" Xia Ningxing heard a hint of urgency in his tone and couldn’t help snickering, but she felt even happier inside.

To be eagerly sought after by a big shot for marriage, how could she not be happy!

Lu Tingli nodded vigorously, "Yes, very eager!"

Xia Ningxing’s fair and delicate face bore an even brighter smile.

The next morning.

Xiaoyu came running over anxiously, "Baby Xing, Baby Xing, I heard you were held hostage by a bad guy last night, are you hurt?"

As he spoke, his childlike voice was already breaking into sobs, and his red, teary eyes scanned Xia Ningxing up and down.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m fine," Xia Ningxing soothed as she rubbed his little head.

Ever since the rascal had reformed, Xia Ningxing found Xiaoyu to be quite adorable.

"That’s good to hear," Xiaoyu finally stopped feeling sad. "It’s all because I slept too heavily last night. Otherwise, I would have definitely protected Baby Xing!"

He looked up at her with a manly firmness in his little fists.

On the side, Lu Tingli cast a glance at Xiaoyu’s tiny frame and couldn’t help but laugh, "If that were the case, are you sure it wouldn’t be Ningxing protecting you instead?"

A little brat who couldn’t even protect himself was making grand statements about protecting others—it was utterly ludicrous!

Xiaoyu, embarrassed: "..."

Damn it, being young is a real disadvantage!

"Lu Tingli! I’m telling you!" Xiaoyu suddenly clenched his fists, sternly warning him in an aggressive tone, "Don’t always look down on me! I’ll grow up soon! By the time you’ve gotten old, I’ll still be in my prime, and you won’t be able to hold a candle to me!"

"Oh, is that so?" Lu Tingli was unimpressed.

Xiaoyu, with a proud tilt of his chin, said, "By then, you won’t be good enough for Ningxing, and she won’t fancy you anymore, but she will marry me instead!"

Some kids really start dreaming in broad daylight.

Lu Tingli was about to die of laughter and then looked at Xia Ningxing, the person who mattered most, with a low smile, "Ningxing, is that so?"

"How could that be!" Xia Ningxing, lifting her clean, fair face and laughing while looking at him, held tightly to his hand, "No matter what happens to Lu, I will always like him and never remarry to someone else."

She had already made up her mind that even if the magnate left this world after she turned thirty, she wouldn’t marry anyone else.

Because her heart was already tightly intertwined with his.

Lu Tingli’s gaze became even more tender, and he couldn’t resist wrapping his long arms around her and holding her close, then he turned to Xiaoyu with a grin, "Did you hear that clearly?"

Xiaoyu’s face turned ashen.

He was experiencing a pain that was not meant for his age!

"Waah!" Finally, Xiaoyu couldn’t bear the sadness any longer and ran out crying inconsolably.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

Lu Tingli: "..."

The third day, Starfish 1 returned to land.

The hatch was opened.

Wang Ping and his fake wife, both hooded, were the first to be led out.

The authorities were already waiting outside.

Upon seeing the captives brought out, they nodded to each other and promptly took them away.

After his affairs were completely settled, the rest of the people gradually disembarked from Starfish 1.

Having stayed under the sea for some time, the sudden exposure to bright light made everyone’s eyes uncomfortable.

But Xia Ningxing was different.

While others used their hands to shield their eyes, she simply pulled out a pair of sunglasses from her bag.

Everyone: "..."

They had agreed to be dazzled together, yet you sneakily put on sunglasses.

The most embarrassed person turned out to be Lu Tingli; he had just raised his arm to shield Xia Ningxing from the light, but who would have thought...

So now, his hand was awkwardly frozen mid-air, and he couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his thin, handsome lips.
