“I’ll give these two jars to Mom and Dad. Before I leave, I’ll specially brew a few more for you and Linzhe. It’s made together with you two—how about that?”
Jiang Ning said with a smile to He Linyue.
“Big sister-in-law is the best!”
Time flew by, and life at the He family residence was joyful and comfortable.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
At breakfast, Madam He could tell Jiang Ning was clearly distracted and teased her.
“Is that brat Linzhou coming back today?”
Jiang Ning bit her lip, slightly shy. “Yes… today.”
Seeing she had no appetite, He Linyue leaned over with a mischievous grin.
“Sister-in-law, are you unable to eat because you miss my brother too much?”
“…Yes. I do miss him.”
Jiang Ning admitted openly. If she liked him, she liked him. If she missed him, she missed him.
She had never even dated in her previous life. Now that she had transmigrated, she met such an excellent man like He Linzhou—of course she would miss him.
Just as she finished speaking, the person she had been thinking about walked in.
“Ningning, I’m back!”
Hearing He Linzhou’s low, magnetic voice, Jiang Ning’s heart skipped a beat.
She didn’t care about any dignity or restraint anymore—she stood up and threw herself directly into his arms.
“You finally came back! I missed you so much!”
He Linzhou smiled and kissed her forehead in front of the entire He family.
“Did you miss me?”
Jiang Ning buried her face in his chest, cheeks flushed.
“Yes… I missed you a lot.”
Hearing her answer, He Linzhou’s heart softened into a puddle.
He Linzhe, who was chewing on a steamed bun, was stunned so hard his eyes nearly popped out.
“…Is this still the cold-faced God of War He Linzhou?”
“I—this is… hard to describe.”
Madam He knocked him on the head with her chopsticks.
“Eat your food and stop talking nonsense!”
He Linzhe instantly shut up.
Madam He and He Linyue simply stopped eating and watched the couple openly flirt at the table.
Realizing they were being watched, Jiang Ning shyly tucked her hair behind her ear and looked at He Linzhou.
“Go eat first.”
He Linzhou shook his head without hesitation.
“I don’t want to eat.”
Jiang Ning blinked, then reacted.
“You want to go home and eat?”
He Linzhou looked deeply at her and nodded.
“Yes. Go home.”
And just like that, under the gaze of the entire He family, the two of them held hands and left.
He Linzhe twitched his mouth.
“In this world, the only one who can make my brother obedient… is my sister-in-law.”
He Linyue nodded in agreement.
“Before I thought—what’s so good about a man who never smiles?”
“Now I understand. It’s not that he doesn’t smile.”
“It’s just that he only smiles at her.”
Madam He watched their departing figures with red eyes.
“That brat… no wonder he managed to ‘trick’ Ningning into marriage.”
Inside the car, Jiang Ning was held tightly in He Linzhou’s arms the entire time, completely ignoring the presence of the driver Wang Mian and Deputy Captain Lin Zishen.
Wang Mian couldn’t help complaining.
“Sister-in-law, the captain is injured!”
Jiang Ning immediately struggled free, her eyes full of worry.
“Where is he hurt?”
“Just a minor scratch, nothing serious.”
He Linzhou answered casually.
“Only a bullet went through his shoulder.”
Wang Mian added immediately, “The instructor already told him to go to the military hospital for a checkup, but he refused!”
He Linzhou shot him a warning look through the rearview mirror.
Jiang Ning frowned instantly.
“Go to the military hospital.”
“Roger!”
Wang Mian happily turned the car around.
Lin Zishen in the front passenger seat suddenly leaned over with a grin.
“Sister-in-law, that sweet water you gave the captain is really good!”
“Can you give me a bottle next time too?”
He had secretly drunk a cup while He Linzhou wasn’t looking—it didn’t just taste good, it made him feel incredibly refreshed.
Before Jiang Ning could answer, He Linzhou coldly refused.
“That’s my wife’s exclusive water. No one gets it.”
Lin Zishen sighed.
“…Having a wife is really good.”
Jiang Ning held He Linzhou’s hand.
“Did you finish all the water?”
“All gone. Not a single drop left.”
He answered seriously.
His wife’s “love water”—he wouldn’t waste a drop.
At the hospital, after the examination, the doctor was shocked.
“Luckily you’re young and strong, otherwise your arm would’ve been ruined.”
After treatment, bandaging, injections, and prescriptions, Jiang Ning stayed by his side the entire time.
While they were leaving, Wei Yaozong appeared with a nurse and walked into the ward.
Seeing Jiang Ning caring for He Linzhou, he sneered.
“Oh? Isn’t this Miss Jiang?”
“Still not divorced from a man who can’t have children?”
Jiang Ning narrowed her eyes.
“Whether I divorce or not—what does it have to do with you?”
“Or are you too interested in my husband’s appearance?”
“Don’t tell me… you’re that kind of person?”
Wei Yaozong’s face turned red with anger.
“I—I’m normal!”
Jiang Ning raised a brow.
“I don’t care whether you’re normal or not.”
“But interfering in a military marriage like this… is illegal.”
“I’ll report you to the hospital director.”
Wei Yaozong panicked.
“You’re slandering me! You said divorce yourself!”
“I never said that!”
He backed away quickly and fled.
Watching his retreating figure, He Linzhou’s lips curved slightly in satisfaction.
