"I had developed it before, but some parts weren't entirely perfect, so it wasn't launched. This time, there was no other way, so we had to release it early," Mu Sijie explained.
Lu Wanqing thought about the Mu family's current situation and sighed inwardly, understanding their decision.
"What about the mech explosion? Did you find the cause?" Lu Wanqing asked again.
Mu Sijie looked at her and suddenly smiled, "You believe me?"
Huh?
Lu Wanqing looked at him blankly, confused, "What?"
The tenderness in Mu Sijie's eyes was undeniable. He raised his hand to cover his uncontrollable smile and said, "Don't worry, we've investigated most of it. When everything is ready, we'll explain it clearly to everyone."
It could be resolved? Lu Wanqing's worried heart settled, and she nodded instinctively, "Okay."
Mu Sijie gazed at her, dotingly, "You should go to bed early too. Sleep early, wake up early, try not to stay up late. It's not good for your health."
Lu Wanqing: "Okay."
Lu Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then politely reciprocated his concern, "It's very late. You should also get some rest."
The tenderness in Mu Sijie's eyes almost overflowed. He nodded, "Alright."

After bidding farewell to Mu Sijie, Lu Wanqing returned to her room but felt no sleepiness. Instead, images of the 3S mech she had seen earlier and the combat tests of other mechs kept replaying in her mind.
Thinking about it, she couldn't help but open her Star Net pod and log into the Star Net again.
Remembering the study room Mu Sijie had created on the Star Net, she searched for some information, then topped up her account and created a new room for herself.
In her room, Lu Wanqing took out the mech design blueprints she had drawn earlier, made a copy for backup, and then couldn't resist continuing to modify and create on the new file.
This part of the modification was something she hadn't thought of before. It was a feeling that arose after watching the combat tests that evening and the performance of the 3S mech on stage. Relying on her instincts, she subconsciously drew out all the ideas in her mind and modified the original design.
What she thought was a simple task, or rather, a minor modification, turned out to be quite extensive as Lu Wanqing continued drawing. However, it was visually apparent that after her modifications, the mech's design seemed more perfect.
When the inspiration in her mind finally ran out, Lu Wanqing stopped. She looked up at the time on the screen, and was stunned to realize it was already past four in the morning.
She had unknowingly pulled an all-nighter again.
However, looking down at the modified design, her mood couldn't help but lift. She had a feeling that the revised design was more than ten times better than the original!
She saved the blueprints, then went offline, showered, and went back to bed.
At six-thirty in the morning, she woke up habitually. As she opened her eyes, she still felt groggy and instinctively wanted to close them and sleep for a bit longer. But then she remembered that Lanlan had kindergarten, and she suddenly felt much more awake.
Lu Wanqing opened her optical computer, checked the time, and then hurriedly got up.
She quickly washed up and went downstairs to the kitchen.
Steward Mu was already accustomed to her making breakfast for the young master every morning, so he just greeted her and said no more.
Lu Wanqing, fighting off her sleepiness, quickly prepared breakfast and then went to wake up the little one.
"Mommy." Little Mu Lan, dressed in his clothes, looked up at his mother and asked seriously, "Did you not sleep well last night?"
Huh?
Lu Wanqing was confused and looked at her child, "What's wrong?"
Little Mu Lan raised his hand and touched her eyelids with his small finger, saying with concern, "They're dark. Daddy said that dark circles mean you didn't sleep well and didn't rest enough."
So that was it. Lu Wanqing hadn't expected the little one to notice such a small detail. Her heart warmed, and she lowered her head to kiss her child, saying, "It's okay, Mommy had something to do last night and slept a bit late. But it won't happen again, Lanlan, don't worry."
"Did Mommy draw mech design blueprints again last night?" Little Mu Lan immediately countered.
Lu Wanqing paused, then nodded, "Yes."
Little Mu Lan pursed his lips. After a moment, he said seriously, "Then I'll study hard from now on. I must be as amazing as Daddy and Mommy!"
Lu Wanqing smiled at his words, nodding, "Yes, Lanlan is very smart. You'll definitely be amazing in the future."
Mu Sijie also got up. Lu Wanqing and he took care of the child's breakfast together, then took him to school.
Lu Wanqing, as usual, followed Mu Sijie in the Mu family's hovercar to his company. Just as she was about to leave, Mu Sijie suddenly turned back and said to her, "Wanqing, are you going to build that mech of yours?"
Lu Wanqing looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Mu Sijie said seriously, "The materials and equipment at the company are much more precise. If you're willing, you can come to the company to build it. The company will bear all the costs."
Actually, Mu Sijie couldn't quite explain it. Lu Wanqing had only been studying mechs for a few months, so in theory, the equipment at home should be enough for her. But every time he thought of the design she had drawn, he felt a different kind of feeling, a sense that it was... not simple.
If her design drawings were truly remarkable, a mech of 3S grade or above, then the materials and tools at home wouldn't be able to produce it due to insufficient precision.
Lu Wanqing looked at Mu Sijie.
Mu Sijie looked at Lu Wanqing.
Their eyes met as they looked at each other.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Wanqing nodded, "Okay."
It wasn't just Mu Sijie; Lu Wanqing also had a feeling that the mech she had designed might be extraordinary. If the tools and instruments in the Mu family company's laboratory were more precise, and the materials were more advanced, she felt that the probability of making the mech perfectly would be higher.
Thinking this, Lu Wanqing got out of the hovercar and walked to Mu Sijie's side.
Mu Sijie looked at her, the corner of his lips curling slightly.
"Let's go," Mu Sijie said with a smile.
"Okay," Lu Wanqing agreed with a smile again.
They entered Mu Corporation together. However, neither Lu Wanqing nor Mu Sijie noticed that not far from them, Lu Yuanyuan sat in a hovercar, staring at them with hateful eyes.
But after a moment, Lu Yuanyuan sneered again. She opened her optical computer terminal, thought for a moment, then composed a text message and sent it to Mu Sijie.
"Brother Sijie, I'm Lu Yuanyuan. If you have time, can we make an appointment to talk? I have something I want to tell you, and it's related to the 3S mech."
Related to the 3S mech, Lu Yuanyuan was certain that Brother Sijie would agree to meet.
