Qin Xue’s words gradually flowed into Chu Molin’s ears.

“Xue’er, there’s no turning back. From the moment I met you, I knew we could never go back. All I care about is you and our child being safe.” Chu Molin held her tightly in his arms, determined to protect her and their child from any harm. If anyone dared to hurt them, he’d confront them no matter who they were.

Without her and their child, Chu Molin would just be a soulless body, with absolutely no meaning to his life.

Unsurprisingly, Chu Molin’s intuition was correct. The atmosphere in the Imperial Capital had changed to a different note as soon as it was known he would be returning soon.

“Chu Molin, in this life, we are meant to be husband and wife. Nobody can tear us apart.” Qin Xue had speculated something after she got to know that Miao Qingqing was Chu Molin’s grandmother.

“Alright, let’s stand together as husband and wife.” Chu Molin, holding his wife’s hand, looked at her.

And Qin Xue looked back at him too, then both of them said in unison, “With united hearts, we can break gold.”

“Xue’er, having you in my life is enough.” Chu Molin leaned his chin on top of Qin Xue’s head, whispering softly.

“Stop talking nonsense. Don’t forget about Yu Ze and Yu Chen.” Qin Xue playfully pushed him away, reaching towards their two sons, and asked with a laugh.

“Right, having you and our two sons in my life is all that I need. Is that better?” Chu Molin smiled back at his wife.

“Of course, that’s better, right my little ones?” Qin Xue gently shook their little hands.

“Xue’er, go to sleep. It’s late.” Chu Molin noticed that his wife, who had earlier remarked about being sleepy, had now completely forgotten about it amidst their little chit-chat.

Qin Xue took the chance and lied down on the other side of their sons, with Chu Molin on their side.

“You’re just going to sleep like that, Xue’er?” Chu Molin looked at his wife helplessly.

“Hmm, I’m tired, and I think it’s quite nice to sleep like this.” Qin Xue replied without even opening her eyes.

Chu Molin got up, attended to their sons for a while, and then returned them to their cribs. When he came back to bed, Qin Xue was already sound asleep.

Chu Molin lifted Qin Xue gently, adjusting her position to a more comfortable one. He then smoothed out the lines of worry etched on her forehead, “Xue’er, you’re frightened, aren’t you? That’s why you’re restless even in your sleep.

You don’t have to worry, I’m here. Worst comes to worst, I’ll just request to stay in S province for good.” Chu Molin thought that resigning from the military was the worst-case scenario, but as long as he could be with his wife and children, he didn’t care about being a soldier.

Although he would be regretful if he quit the military, he would definitely not regret it. But if he let go of Qin Xue and their children, he would regret it wholeheartedly.

Thus, Chu Molin had made plans for every scenario and had instructed Li Zhao and Xiao Qi to make arrangements.

Now, they were all set to return to the Imperial Capital. He just hoped they won’t stand out too much.

But that was impossible for Chu Molin because his whole purpose of studying in the Imperial Capital was to take up the post of Deputy Director.

Many people were wondering about the identity and capability of this parachuted Deputy Director who was going to be their boss.

But Chu Molin remained silent, continuing to train his soldiers and adhering to his principle that silence is golden.

Because the results of his previous special training were excellent, he was specially appointed to go to Imperial Capital to take over the research institute in B Area.

The new blood that will be selected later will be sent directly to B Area for training. So Chu Molin would be settling down there.

But he couldn’t tell Qin Xue all these things, lest she worry.

Originally, he was parachuted back, blocking many people’s advancement, so he was already a thorn in their eyes. He had no idea how they would all join together to give him a hard time when he returned. He certainly couldn’t involve his wife and children in this.
