Lin Anran hugged the strong neck, her little face flushed, "A-Nian, you, you put me down!"

Jiang Qinian seemed not to hear him and hugged him even tighter.

He had finally managed to hold this soft and cuddly little woman, and he wasn't about to let go so easily!

Feeling the scrutinizing gazes around her, Lin Anran's face flushed red. "Put me down quickly! I already told you I was acting, hurry up!"

Lin Anran swayed back and forth, almost falling out of his strong arms. The man's gaze deepened. "Don't move!"

He actually spanked her!

Lin Anran felt like dying; it was so humiliating!

So, like a quail, she buried herself in Jiang Qinian's chest without making a sound, and even after she sat in the passenger seat, her face was still flushed.

This time, Jiang Qinian drove. When they returned to the villa, Lin's parents were still busy.

Lin's mother excitedly put down the axe in her hand and ran outside shouting, "Husband! Ranran and the others are back! Come down quickly!"

She casually wiped the dust off her hands and hugged Lin Anran, who had just entered the room.

"Come here! Ranran, let Mommy see if you're hurt? Are you hungry?"

Lin Anran smiled and said, "I'm not injured, and I'm not hungry. I just miss you and Dad a little!"

Lin's mother scolded, "Then why don't you take us with you?"

Lin Anran promised with both hands, "I'll definitely do it next time. I love you the most, Mom!"

Just then, Lin's father came downstairs, the fine sweat on his forehead revealing his excitement. "You're back! It's good that you're back!"

"Xiao Chen! What happened to your arm?"

When Lin's mother saw Gu Chen enter the room, her heart clenched. "You're injured! Quick, quick, give these things to Auntie. How did you get hurt? Have you put on any medicine? Come on, come on, come inside with me, let me take a look."

Gu Chen reluctantly followed Lin's mother into the house, and Lin's father helped carry the supplies back to the villa.

Looking at the different car, someone asked, "You changed your car? Where's the old van?"

Lin Anran shook her head. "It's a long story. Let's go back inside and talk."

Lin's mother sat on the sofa, looking at the huge wound, tears streaming down her face. "How could it be so serious? Does it hurt, Xiao Chen?"

Gu Chen, unsure of what to do, wiped away Lin Ma's tears, feeling a warmth in his heart. "It doesn't hurt, Auntie! It'll be better soon!"

"How could it not hurt! You child, you don't even know how to take care of yourself."

After bandaging her arm, Lin's mother checked all four of them again, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no wounds.

Lin Anran gave a brief account of what happened on the way.

Lin's parents listened with trepidation until they heard that they had seized a truckload of supplies and even made Shen Sirou faint from anger, at which point Lin's mother finally laughed out loud.

"They really don't know what's good for them. It seems they haven't learned their lesson after being taught a lesson once."

The cold villa was instantly filled with laughter and joy.

Lin's parents also gave a report on their work over the past period, and they had basically completed most of it.

Lin's father is finishing up the solar panels, and Lin's mother has already cleaned up the fireplace and is now chopping firewood to store inside the house.

Although they have stockpiled enough coal, they don't know when the extreme cold will end, so it's always good to have more.

It was still early, so everyone got to work on the preparations.

Lin Yu helped his father with the finishing touches on installing the solar panels. Actually, the solar panels were quite easy to install, but if the blizzard continued, the solar panels would be covered by snow and stop working.

So Lin's father only reinforced the solar panel brackets and left a small staircase next to it leading from the third floor to the balcony, so that they could come up and clear the snow at any time.

Lin Anran and Jiang Qinian helped Lin's mother chop firewood and carry it into the house. Even though they made a lot of noise, the surrounding villas couldn't see what they were doing because Lin Anran had planted vines to cover it up.

Gu Chen was the most leisurely. He couldn't refuse Lin Ma's request, so he could only move a small stool and sit at the door eating sunflower seeds.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

The doorbell rang abruptly, and the busy crowd stopped. Lin Anran handed the axe to Jiang Qinian and went to open the door.

"Hello! Sister Ranran!" Xie Nan, with his red hair, startled Lin Anran.

"Xie Nan? What's wrong?"

She was stunned by the vehicles in front of her. The Wild Wolf Squad only had six people, yet they had driven four SUVs, all parked in front of her house.

Are you going to attack us?

Xie Nan laughed heartily, "Sister Ranran, stop joking. We went out on a mission and brought back the supplies from the cellar. The weather has been getting colder lately, which isn't a good sign, so we'll stock up on supplies and not go out for now."

Lin Anran felt a little more reassured. Although she had only spent time with the Wild Wolf Squad a few times, their character was still questionable.

"Ah! Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Nan!"

Lin's mother overheard their conversation from inside. She wiped the sweat from her brow and called Lin's father to open the door.

After eleven people worked for a long time, the supplies were finally piled up in the house. Gu Chen couldn't help, but he skillfully opened a few bottles of chilled fruit beer from the refrigerator for everyone to drink and rest for a while.

"Ah! That's awesome!"

Xie Nan lay flat on the sofa without any regard for his image. He always felt that his own sofa wasn't as comfortable as this one, and he felt much more relaxed.

Seeing the wall piled high with firewood in the living room, Xie Bei casually asked, "Are you planning to use a fireplace?"

Mr. Lin nodded. “Yes! The weather is especially cold right now. Ranran and the others are afraid of the cold, so it’s good to prepare more just in case.”

Lin's mother added, "Xiao Bei, Xiao Nan, you should also stock up on more firewood. It's cold, so burning it inside will keep you warm."

Xie Nan nodded in praise, "It's all thanks to you, Uncle and Aunt. We didn't even think of that. The weather is unpredictable these days, so it's definitely good to stock up just in case. But we still have some coal here, we'll bring some over for you later."

A wave of emotion washed over the Lin family members.

Lin Anran: "No need to give us any, we've already stocked up on some. If we don't have enough, we also have firewood!"

Xie Nan didn't stand on ceremony, "Alright then! If you need anything, just come and get it from next door."

The Wild Wolf Squad didn't linger. Lin's mother took some dumplings and frozen glutinous rice balls that she had made herself from the refrigerator and gave them to them.

"These were made by your aunt and uncle. I don't know if you'll like them, but please don't be disgusted. It's cold outside, so eat something warm."

Xie Nan almost hugged Lin's mother and called her "Mom." They hadn't eaten dumplings or glutinous rice balls in a long time. The best they could eat were vegetables, ham sausages, and canned meat.

The Wild Wolf Squad members hadn't sided with the wrong person. "Thank you, Auntie!"

After seeing everyone off, Lin's father and Lin Yu finished their work, and everyone chopped firewood together. Before they knew it, the first snowflake fell on Lin Anran's head, feeling cool and refreshing.

"It's snowing!"

Everyone looked up at the large snowflakes falling from the sky, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

What was bound to happen has finally happened.
