"Godfather, how about this: I’ll go with you the next time you return to the institute. At that time, you can directly grant Luo Yanqing a break in the lab, and I’ll bring him back immediately. If he dares not to come with me, I’ll... I’ll divorce him!"
Kang Li’s eyes glimmered with determination: "I want to see how much I truly matter to him."
"Silly girl, you can’t just flippantly talk about ’divorce’ like that."
Mrs. Qi shook her head disapprovingly and said, "Yanqing indeed needs a good rest for a while. Godmother will promise on behalf of your godfather that tomorrow morning, your godfather will go to the institute, and Godmother will have him pick you up."
Upon hearing this, Kang Li’s smile blossomed like a flower: "Alright. But Godmother, I mentioned divorce just to scare Luo Yanqing!" Her Professor Luo was not only handsome and in good shape but also had a high income and doted on her greatly. She wouldn’t let go of such a man unless she was truly foolish.

We could say they dedicate almost all their energy to the country’s scientific research... And such people are undoubtedly great for the country and the people. For their families, of course, there’s some regret, but..."
"Godfather..."
Director Song: "No problem."
"Godfather, does the institute arrange regular physical check-ups for Luo Yanqing and others?" Kang Li suddenly asked.
"Yes. Once every six months, after all, talents like Yanqing are the nation’s treasures."
Director Song said this unequivocally, and Kang Li naturally didn’t doubt it. Yet in the storyline she knew... Luo Yanqing collapsed in the lab.
The car continued to drive forward.
Kang Li didn’t speak anymore.
Instead, she was thinking that in the storyline, Luo Yanqing collapsed in the lab, bringing a premature conclusion to his glorious but brief life,
