Chapter 531 - 545: With a Hint of Expectation
With the roar of the plane, it soared into the sky. Watching the city getting farther away, Lin Ruonan didn’t feel any reluctance, but rather a hint of anticipation for the familiar city she was about to return to.Being transferred back to the Guard Team in the Imperial City was originally Lin Weidong’s idea. In the last mission, although Mu Xingfeng was the one injured, the danger of that operation was beyond imagination.
As a female guard, opportunities to participate in such missions were rare. He knew it must have been his daughter who specifically applied to participate with Mu Xingfeng.
As a father, he was well aware of his daughter’s thoughts.
But now that Mu Xingfeng had found a girlfriend, the last birthday banquet had caused some tension between the two families because of this. For the sake of his daughter, and the decades-long relationship between the Lin and Mu families, he couldn’t let his daughter stay in Nan’an any longer.
Moreover, due to Lin Weidong’s selfish motives, only by bringing his daughter back to the Imperial City could she have the chance to interact with the Gu family’s son, right?
Lin Ruonan naturally didn’t know about her father’s intentions. Initially, she went to Nan’an for Mu Xingfeng. Now that Mu Xingfeng and An Ran were together, staying there would only add to her sadness.
After more than an hour of flying, when they landed in the familiar city, Lin Ruonan tightened the clothes around her.
February in the Imperial City was still very cold, about ten degrees colder than Nan’an. There was a thick coat in her luggage, but this bit of cold wasn’t much for her; compared to other women, her endurance as a former special forces soldier was much stronger.
Lin Ruonan quickly pulled her luggage and walked out while turning on her phone.
She didn’t notify her family about her return to the Imperial City. She thought that if she could go directly back to the team, she would, saving her from hearing her grandfather’s nagging after getting home.
She turned on the phone and called Lin Weidong, "Dad, I’m back. Can you send a car to pick me up?"
Upon hearing Lin Ruonan’s request for a car, Lin Weidong immediately knew what this girl was thinking, "Back to the team? Do you think the team is really your home? Coming and going as you please? Go home and stay put, wait for further arrangements." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novelꜰire.net
After saying that, Lin Weidong directly hung up the phone.
He knew his daughter best. Soft approaches wouldn’t work; only the hard ones would, especially at critical times, he had to use his authority to keep her in check.
Looking at the hung-up phone, three black lines appeared on Lin Ruonan’s forehead. Although it’s not our home, aren’t you the Chief Guard?
If it were in the past, Lin Ruonan would obediently go home, but now, she no longer needed to be the proper, dignified, sensible, and obedient woman who always thought of others.
So, Lin Ruonan dialed the number again, "I say, General Chief Guard Lin, isn’t the team just like our home? Hurry up, your daughter is now wandering on the streets in this cold weather. Find a place for your daughter to stay, will you?"
Lin Weidong was taken aback by her rapid-fire words, then looked at the caller ID again. It was indeed his daughter’s phone.
When did his elegant, noble, and graceful daughter become like this? Could it be that during her time in Nan’an she was influenced by that rascal Lin Junyang?
"What nonsense! I haven’t arranged things for you yet, so go home and stay put. Your grandfather is still thinking of you," Lin Weidong said sternly again.
"Alright, I’ll go home first. But General Chief Guard, you have to arrange it within three days, or else I’ll move into your headquarters’ office." This time, before Lin Weidong could respond, Lin Ruonan hung up the phone first.
