Early in the morning, Lin Chuchu didn't sleep in and immediately urged someone to take her back.

Lin Chuchu was on vacation, but the team wasn't. There were several people in the car, and several more people were secretly protecting her.

Lin Chuchu said helplessly, "I'm just going home. You really don't need to come with me."

Team Leader Qin said with a serious expression, "That won't do. We've been ordered to protect you. No matter where you go, we have to follow."

Well, Lin Chuchu's helpless expression made everyone in the car smile.

The car arrived at the doorstep quickly. Everyone else had arrangements made, and they rented the house next to Grandma's.

When Lin Chuchu arrived home, it was quite early. Only her maternal grandmother and two children were home.

Upon seeing Lin Chuchu, the two children immediately ran over.

"Mom, you're back."

"Mommy, I miss you so much."

The two little ones have grown quite a bit taller, but they still stick to Lin Chuchu, clinging to her legs and refusing to let go.

Lin Chuchu greeted her grandmother and then introduced Captain Qin and Xiao Lu to her.

"Grandma, they are my colleagues. They didn't go home for the Chinese New Year and are staying with us for a few days."

Upon hearing that they were colleagues, Grandma immediately and warmly invited them into the house to sit down.

"Chuchu, go buy some groceries later. I'll make you scallion rolls today."

"Okay, Grandma!"

Lin Chuchu comforted the children for a while, then wanted to go grocery shopping, but the two little ones insisted on coming along, so she had no choice but to lead them and follow Xiao Lu to the market.

Xiao Lu said enviously, "Sister Chu Chu, you get along so well with your in-laws. Your parents-in-law must treat you very well too, right?"

After just a short while in the room, Grandma brought Lin Chuchu a lot of delicious food, including fruit, snacks, and soda. Since it was a bit cold outside, she put the food on the bed to keep it warm.

Moreover, Grandma was very kind to them, so it must be because she loved them that she extended her affection to them; otherwise, she would never have been so enthusiastic.

Lin Chuchu said with a smile.

"Yes, they all have good personalities, and it's also because I'm not home often."

The closer you are, the worse it gets; if you see someone every day, conflicts are bound to arise.

"That's not necessarily true. Some mothers-in-law don't like their daughters-in-law. When they go to work, they say that their daughters-in-law don't care about the children, don't take care of the elderly, and are always causing trouble."

“If I don’t go to work, they’ll say I’m just eating and drinking for free and that it’s not easy for my son to support the whole family, and that there will be even more problems.”

Although Xiao Lu is not married yet, she has seen many fights between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.

Lin Chuchu smiled but didn't say anything. She also felt very lucky to have met Mu Chen and the Mu family.

The two went to a nearby vegetable market. Because it was winter, there weren't many vegetables available, and they weren't very fresh. Lin Chuchu bought green beans, eggplants, garlic sprouts, eggs, meat, and ribs.

There were many people queuing in front of the meat stall, so the two of them split up, one queuing while the other went to buy other things.

It seems that because of the Chinese New Year, not many people are buying other things, since most of the purchases were made before the New Year.

Lin Chuchu bought some snacks with the two little ones.

During this time, Lin Chuchu also ran into some acquaintances who were quite envious of her military uniform.

Unexpectedly, Mu Chen is a police officer and Lin Chuchu has become a soldier. This family is really lucky.

This was something Lin Chuchu did on purpose, because Mu Chen's incident taught her that one shouldn't be too low-key, or one will easily be bullied.

The two bought a bunch of things and went home. Grandma took them with a smile and didn't say anything, but just told the two little ones to eat less candy.

Grandma cooked lunch with Lin Chuchu and Xiao Lu.

When Captain Qin saw firewood in the yard, he helped chop it, while the two little ones ran around wildly in the yard.

Seeing the two little ones so lively, Captain Qin couldn't help but smile.

This reminded him of his son. His wife and children did not accompany him to the army, but their home was near the capital, so he could go back to visit them when he had time off.

At noon, Mu Chen and his father returned together. They were startled to see two strangers, and immediately realized that it was Lin Chuchu who had returned.

Mu Chen and Captain Qin exchanged a glance and nodded to each other; this person was no ordinary individual.

The thought crossed their minds simultaneously, and both looked on with surprise.

Mu Chen withdrew his gaze. Chu Chu was a researcher, and the higher-ups would assign her a bodyguard, after all, he had once been Chu Chu's bodyguard.

He just didn't expect that someone like this would be sent from above, and when he saw Xiao Lu again, he felt even more uneasy.

Considering that his family seemed to have a few more protectors recently, he roughly knew that Lin Chuchu had done something again.

Mu Chen didn't know what kind of merit it was that led to a small team being sent to protect his family.

Lin Chuchu came out of the kitchen and saw Mu Chen and Mu's father. "Dad, Brother Chen, you're back. Go wash your hands first, dinner will be ready soon."

Mu Chen smiled and nodded. After washing his hands, he walked to the kitchen door, his gaze fixed on Lin Chuchu, unwilling to look away.

Both of them were too busy. Lin Chuchu was busy with her research work, and he himself had begun to be valued by his superiors and was often sent on missions. The two of them could only see each other once every few months.

Although Mu Chen missed them, he understood the nature of their work, so they didn't complain to each other, but only felt sorry for one another.

With one person standing at the door, the room felt cramped, so Lin Chuchu placed a plate of food in Mu Chen's hands.

"Put it on the table."

Mu Chen nodded, and after finishing, he came back.

Soon, all the food was served. After delivering the food to his wife, Mr. Mu returned and suggested that everyone have a drink.

However, Qin and Mu Chen refused. Mu Chen had to go to work in the afternoon and said they would drink in the evening.
