There were still two large tables, where all the team members and guards sat down.

Researcher Tian insisted on having a drink, and Du Lingling didn't stop him, just looked at him with a smile.

The subtle tension between the two was filled with sweetness.

Lin Chuchu, Xiao Lu, and Researcher Tian's girlfriend got together.

Lin Chuchu asked Researcher Tian and Du Lingling curiously, "What's going on with those two? Why did they suddenly start..."

She wanted to say "showing off their love," but then she realized that the term "showing off their love" hadn't been coined yet.

"Sister Chuchu noticed it too? Three days ago, Lingling agreed to Researcher Tian's proposal, and Researcher Tian submitted the marriage application to the higher authorities."

Researcher Hou's partner said with a smile.

Lin Chuchu exclaimed, "That's pretty fast! Have you set a wedding date yet? With them?"

Upon hearing this, Researcher Hou's girlfriend blushed slightly and glanced at Researcher Hou.

"Yes, they mean to hold it together, to invite colleagues and friends to a wedding banquet at the base."

Lin Chuchu smiled and offered her blessings, "Okay, I hope you two will be happy and have a healthy baby boy soon."

Several female colleagues huddled together and joked, while the male colleagues raised their glasses to toast Researcher Tian and Researcher Hou.

After finishing their meal, leaving a group of men downstairs to clean up, Lin Chuchu led Du Lingling and the others into her room.

When Lin Chuchu took out the two red dresses, everyone's eyes lit up.

"It's so beautiful! Did your aunt really make this?"

"Sister Chuchu, is this dress really for us? I really want to wear it to my wedding."

Du Lingling and Lin Chuchu held up the clothes for a while before urging them to try them on.

After the two changed their clothes, Lin Chuchu and Xiao Lu's eyes lit up.

Xiao Lu said enviously.

"Just because of your outfits, I'd like to get married right now."

Du Lingling laughed and said, "Then why don't you find someone now? Get married with us, just thinking about that scene is hilarious."

Three couples got married on the same day—this is unprecedented, and it's unlikely to happen again.

If Lin Chuchu knew what she was thinking, she would definitely say, "That's because you don't know what a group wedding is."

Besides the red dress, there was also a set of red bedding embroidered with mandarin ducks, which was not only festive but also thick.

This can be considered Lin Chuchu's wedding gift to them.

As they were seeing the group out, Lin Chuchu pulled Du Lingling aside and whispered, "Have you both met each other's parents?"

Du Lingling's smile froze. Back then, what Researcher Tian had done had embarrassed her parents, and they had spoken ill of Researcher Tian to her many times.

She was repeatedly told that she absolutely must not work with someone like Researcher Tian.

But the two of them actually got together.

The two had been together for so long, but Du Lingling didn't dare bring Researcher Tian home because of her parents' attitude.

Seeing her like this, Lin Chuchu knew that Du Lingling's parents had not yet met Researcher Tian.

She patted her shoulder sympathetically, "This can't be delayed. After all, you're getting married soon. You can't wait until after the wedding and your parents still don't know, can you?"

Du Lingling looked at Lin Chuchu with tears in her eyes, "Sister Chuchu, what should we do? I'm afraid my parents will beat him to death."

Lin Chuchu was also speechless. "You should discuss this with Researcher Tian and have him go and apologize. He deserved to be beaten for what he did back then."

She was exasperated with the two of them; even at this point, they still hadn't gained their parents' approval.

I'm speechless.

Du Lingling knew that Lin Chuchu meant well, but she still panicked.

He staggered downstairs, looking utterly lost.

Researcher Tian glanced at her, puzzled as to why she had suddenly become unhappy when she had just been so cheerful.

"Lingling, what's wrong?"

His voice brought Du Lingling back to her senses. She glared at him fiercely and reached out to pinch his ear.

"It's all your fault. You made a stupid mistake back then, and now I'm suffering the consequences too."

Researcher Tian's face contorted in pain. "Ouch, Lingling, it hurts! What are you saying? I don't understand!"

He has a very bad memory, especially in daily life; he might not remember things that happened two or three days ago.

This person is a genius only when it comes to research.

Du Lingling rolled her eyes at him, furious. "Come home with me tomorrow to meet my parents!"

"I'll see you, I definitely will... Huh? What?"

Researcher Tian finally remembered the stupid things he had done in the past.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

He was scared!

He looked at the ceiling with tears in his eyes. He had offended his father-in-law and mother-in-law before he was even married. Who was as miserable as him?

Du Lingling snorted coldly, "Now you know you're scared? Where were you before? Let me tell you, if my dad hits you, you're not allowed to fight back. If I were my dad, I'd beat you to death."

Researcher Tian snapped out of his daze, put on a fawning smile, and nodded and bowed, promising that he would definitely do his best.

His fawning manner made everyone laugh uncontrollably.

It's not that they lack compassion, but rather that they can't offer any real help.

Lin Chuchu rested for a day and went back to work the next day. The research on tanks and shells was nearing completion and had entered the experimental stage.

It was the first time Lin Chuchu had witnessed the power of an artillery shell; the sound was so loud it seemed to deafen one's ears.

She could clearly see a hole blasted into the steel plate in the distance.

Zhou Lichen, Feng Tao, and Hou, the three researchers, were still not satisfied with the results.

Today, the country with the most advanced weaponry in the world is Russia. They have the most powerful tanks, with shells that no other country can penetrate.
