Chapter 408: Husband and Wife Meeting
Director Chen Ziqiang of the Liaison Office in the country introduced himself and extended his hand.
"Comrade Lin, welcome to our country. Thank you for your hard work along the way."
As Lin Siqiao shook his hand back, he smiled and shook his head, "Director Chen, you are too polite. We are all serving the people, so it can't be said to be hard work."
After exchanging greetings, Director Chen introduced the two people around him to Lin Siqiao.
"Comrade Lin, this is Xiao Tao, this is Xiao Jiang. They will stay in Los Angeles to assist you with your work. If there is anything you need them to do, just tell them."
Lin Siqiao mistakenly thought that this was the security guard assigned to him, and said hurriedly.
"Hello, I'm Lin Siqiao. You can just call me Xiao Lin from now on. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me in the future."
"It should be. It should be."
Seeing that it was getting late, Director Chen handed the password box to Lin Siqiao and spoke in a low voice.
"Comrade Lin, everything you want is in here, and the necessary procedures have been completed."
"I have to catch a flight back to Washington in a little while, so I'll leave first."
"Thank you, Director Chen. I'm sorry to have troubled you this time."
Director Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Hey, it's too polite for you to say that."
As he spoke, he glanced at the time on his wrist and said, "Comrade Lin, please wait a moment. The person who will pick you up may be on the way..." There was a traffic jam.
Before Lin Siqiao finished speaking, he heard the other party change the subject, "It seems that there is no need to wait, they are already here."
Following the direction of Director Chen's finger, I saw a tall man walking out of the car.
The other person was wearing a well-fitting black suit with a high-necked camel sweater underneath. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and with his neat and tidy crew cut, he showed the charm of a mature man.
When he approached, Lin Siqiao's brain buzzed and his whole body froze in place.
Lin Siqiao thought she must be hallucinating. Wasn’t Lu Jianchuan out on a mission? How come he is here?
When Lu Jianchuan saw Lin Siqiao, he was also a little dazed at this time.
He received the notice the day before yesterday afternoon that he and his comrades could not return home for the time being because they needed to protect an important person until the other person left the country safely.
But it didn't say that he wanted to protect his newlywed wife.
At this moment, joy and surprise filled the faces of both parties.
Lin Siqiao rushed up to him and hugged him without even thinking. After not seeing him for four months, she had a lot to say, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to start. In the end, she just asked in a muffled voice.
"Are you okay? Were you injured during this mission?"
"No, I'm fine. How about you? Are you okay?"
While Lu Jianchuan was asking this, he had already let go of Lin Siqiao and looked her up and down for a long time.
Only when he was sure that she was intact from head to toe did Lu Jianchuan finally let go of his worry.
At this moment, Lin Siqiao suddenly remembered something. She was so excited that she seemed to have forgotten to introduce herself to everyone.
Sure enough, when I turned around, I was met with everyone's surprised gaze.
Lin Siqiao quickly grabbed Lu Jianchuan's arm and introduced them to them.
"Well, let me introduce you all, this is my lover."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they realized that it was her lover, no wonder.
Director Chen had originally wanted to give Lu Jianchuan a few more instructions, asking him to make sure to protect the person, but now looking at the situation, it seems there is no need to say anything.
"Everyone, I will be leaving now. Comrade Lin's safety is in your hands."
"Don't worry, Director Chen." Lu Jianchuan said, "We promise to complete the task!"
After Director Chen left, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu also said goodbye.
They originally wanted to bring Lin Siqiao back to live with them, but now that they saw people from the liaison office and the military had been dispatched, they had a rough idea in their minds.
It doesn't matter where she lives, what matters is that she is safe.
Father Qiu left his home address to Lin Siqiao, telling her to ask for help if she needed anything.
Mother Qiu also stepped forward with a smile, "Si Qiao, you've been on the plane for more than ten hours, go back and have a good rest."
Lin Siqiao smiled and nodded. Seeing Qiu Mingze looking at her with a lonely face, she waved and called him over.
"Xiao Ze, I still have something to take care of. When I finish the work at hand, I will come back to see you, okay?"
"Really?"
Lin Siqiao smiled and touched his head, "Of course, when has my sister ever lied to you?"
When Qiu Mingze heard this, the corners of his mouth instantly lifted.
After the family left, Lu Jianchuan took the luggage and opened the passenger door.
As soon as Lin Siqiao got on the car, the two soldiers behind her shouted in unison, "Hello, sister-in-law."
But before Lin Siqiao could open his mouth, the two men opened the car door at lightning speed.
They are not the kind of people who lack tact. I heard that the team leader got married in July and his sister-in-law went abroad in August.
Now that the team leader and his wife have finally met in a foreign country, they must have a lot to talk about, and they certainly won't be a light bulb here.
Lin Siqiao was helpless about this. She would be staying in the country for at least a month this time, so she really couldn't afford to waste a moment. The most important thing was that she was so tired.
After a long-distance flight of more than ten hours, it is no exaggeration to say that Lin Siqiao's lower body is numb.
Knowing that she was very tired, Lu Jianchuan adjusted the seat back to the lowest position after getting in the car.
"Qiao Qiao, lie down and rest for a while. I'll call you when we get there."
Lin Siqiao said no, but his body was very honest.
Less than ten minutes after the car started, she fell asleep leaning against the seat with shallow breathing.
The apartment arranged by the liaison office was only a 40-minute drive from the airport. Seeing that Lin Siqiao showed no signs of waking up, Lu Jianchuan gently picked her up and carried her back to the room.
Lin Siqiao slept from day to night, and when he woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
She had no idea what was going on outside, so Lin Siqiao did not open the door rashly, but called out to Lu Jianchuan.
Soon, the door was opened.
What followed was a burst of fragrant aroma, Lin Siqiao said in surprise.
"You made sweet and sour spareribs, didn't you?"
He used to make this often at home, and Lin Siqiao knew it as soon as he smelled it.
Lu Jianchuan pinched her nose and hummed softly.
During her rest time, Lu Jianchuan was not idle either. He took his teammates to explore and investigate the situation near the apartment, and then went to a Chinese supermarket to buy some food.
Knowing that she didn't like eating in her sleeping room, Lu Jianchuan put a coat on her and took her to the restaurant.
The apartments here are basically two-bedroom, one-living-room layouts. Fortunately, the liaison office bought several apartments at once when the housing prices were low, otherwise we really wouldn’t have enough space to live in.
Being able to eat authentic Chinese food as soon as he woke up really gave Lin Siqiao great satisfaction both physically and mentally.
Watching her chewing the food in big mouthfuls, Lu Jianchuan doubted what she had said on the phone before, that the food in their college was delicious and she ate well, and whether she was lying to him.
As a husband, he knows best whether she has lost weight or not.
But the weight can be regained slowly. Lu Jianchuan is worried about another thing now. After Lin Siqiao finished her meal, he asked directly.
"Qiao Qiao, have you accepted any difficult tasks?"
Lu Jianchuan knew very well that the organization would not mobilize such a large force for no reason, and his wife would not suddenly come to the country.
Unless, she is working for the country.
