Lu Mingyu's tense nerves relaxed slightly after receiving the affirmative answer.
But he was still a little uneasy.
"Grandpa… he really doesn't object?"
In his impression, his grandfather, Lu Wei, the Commander of the Air Force First Military Region with numerous military achievements, had always been unyielding in family matters.
He had always been worried that his grandfather would not approve of him dating a female celebrity from the entertainment industry.
Lu Hai looked at his nephew's nervous expression, smiled, and patted his hand.
"You, you think the old man is too old-fashioned."
"The old man said that as long as it's someone you truly believe in, and as long as their character is fine, he will support it, no matter what their profession is."
"Moreover, the old man will personally come to the Cheetah Special Forces Brigade very soon."
"What?" Lu Mingyu was completely stunned. "Grandpa is coming?"
"Yes." Lu Hai's expression became meaningful.
"The old man has two purposes for coming this time."
"First, he's coming to see you and Miss Gu."
"And second…" Lu Hai deliberately drew out his words, "he's here to urge you to get married."
"Urge to get married?" Lu Mingyu was a bit slow to react.
"That's right," Lu Hai said definitively.
"The old man has spoken; he hopes you two can get things done before the end of the year."
A look of joy appeared on Lu Mingyu's face.
He hadn't expected that the biggest obstacle in his family would turn into the biggest driving force.
He immediately said, "Second Uncle, don't worry."
"Naza and I have already discussed it; once we're done with this busy period, we'll go and register our marriage."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hai's eyes instantly lit up.
He shot up from his seat, his voice rising a few octaves due to excitement.
"Good kid! You've got it!"
He clapped Lu Mingyu hard on the shoulder, his face full of approval.
"But before you register, the necessary courtesies cannot be omitted."
"You need to find a formal opportunity to propose to the girl."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange everything at home, and not a single gift for the proposal will be missing."
"It will definitely be grand and splendid; we can't let the girl feel wronged."
The conversation between the uncle and nephew continued.
The excitement on Lu Hai's face slowly subsided, and he sat back down in his chair.
He picked up his teacup and took a sip, moistening his somewhat dry throat.
"Mingyu, there's something I need to tell you in advance."
Lu Hai's expression became serious again.
"Second Uncle, please speak."
Lu Mingyu listened attentively.
"The old man's visit tomorrow is a private itinerary."
"His identity is special, and he doesn't want to alarm too many people this time, so it needs to be kept confidential externally."
Lu Mingyu immediately understood his second uncle's meaning.
"I understand, this is a matter of discipline."
As a soldier, he knew the stakes better than anyone.
"So, regarding Miss Gu, don't tell her the old man's true identity yet."
Lu Hai specifically instructed.
"Just say he's your grandfather, a retired veteran, coming to see his grandson."
"I'm afraid if it gets out, it will have a bad impact on all sides."
Lu Mingyu nodded without any hesitation.
"Don't worry, Second Uncle, I know what to do."
He understood that his second uncle's and grandfather's considerations were thorough.
Before things were fully settled, protecting Naza was also something he had to do.
"Good, as long as you know what you're doing."
Lu Hai looked at him with satisfaction; this nephew had never disappointed him.
...
At the same time, at the filming base of "if i were a female special forces soldier."
Director Ding Hui was sitting behind the monitor, his brows tightly furrowed as he stared at the screen.
An assistant scurried over, looking somewhat flustered and excited.
"Director Ding, Director Ding!"
"What's the matter? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Ding Hui didn't even lift his head, his eyes still fixed on the monitor.
"Deputy Commander Lu… Deputy Commander Lu is here!"
The assistant's voice was a bit stammering.
"Which Deputy Commander Lu?"
Ding Hui subconsciously asked, then suddenly reacted.
He shot up from his chair, his face filled with shock.
"Are you talking about Deputy Commander Lu Hai?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's him! He's already at our base!"
Ding Hui felt his heart skip a beat.
That was a truly important figure; why would he suddenly come to his small production crew?
He dared not show the slightest neglect and immediately straightened his clothes.
"Quick, come with me to greet him!"
Ding Hui, with his assistant, hurried to the base entrance.
Sure enough, Lu Hai was standing next to a military off-road vehicle, calmly observing the base environment.
"Deputy Commander Lu! Welcome to our base!"
Ding Hui scurried over, his face full of a restrained yet enthusiastic smile.
Lu Hai saw him and smiled gently.
"Director Ding, there's no need to be so polite. I'm not here on official business today."
Ding Hui quickly nodded and bowed.
"Yes, yes, yes, please come in, please come in."
He invited Lu Hai into his temporary office.
After closing the door, Ding Hui became even more nervous, his palms sweating.
"Deputy Commander Lu, you… you're here today for…?"
Lu Hai said directly:
"Director Ding, I'm here today because I have a private matter I'd like your help with, and it requires strict confidentiality."
"Please speak, please speak! I will definitely do it, and my lips will be sealed!"
Ding Hui patted his chest to guarantee.
Lu Hai pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"It's like this, the old man is coming over tomorrow."
"The old man?"
Ding Hui paused, not understanding who he was referring to.
Lu Hai explained:
"It's Lu Mingyu's grandfather."
"Oh, oh, so Instructor Lu's grandfather is coming to visit."
Ding Hui breathed a sigh of relief, having thought it was something major.
"However, I hope your production crew can keep this matter confidential."
Lu Hai continued.
"The old man's visit is a private itinerary; he doesn't want to make a big fuss."
"No problem, no problem!"
"I'll notify everyone immediately; I guarantee no one will say anything!"
Ding Hui immediately agreed.
Lu Hai looked at him and then dropped another bombshell.
"The old man is mainly here this time to see his grandson and his future granddaughter-in-law."
The smile on Ding Hui's face instantly froze.
"Grand… granddaughter-in-law?"
He looked at Lu Hai with some disbelief, wondering if he had misheard.
"Instructor Lu… has a girlfriend?"
"Mm."
Lu Hai nodded.
Ding Hui felt his brain starting to glitch.
Lu Mingyu has a girlfriend?
This was huge news!
As the director, he spent every day with them, yet he hadn't noticed any clues?
"His girlfriend… is she also on our show?"
Ding Hui asked tentatively, a vague but unbelievable guess already forming in his mind.
Lu Hai smiled and directly revealed the answer.
"It's Gu Lina Zha from your show."
"Boom!"
Ding Hui felt as if something had exploded in his mind.
Gu Lina Zha?
It was Gu Lina Zha!
The highly anticipated superstar was actually Lu Mingyu's girlfriend?
These two, one a stone-faced special forces instructor, the other a top beautiful actress—
They looked nothing like people from the same world.
Most importantly, on the show, apart from normal training interactions, they had almost no private communication.
They had hidden it too well!
