Chapter 372

Spoiled Rotten

"You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll take care of it for you. Just having the idea is enough. Just focus on recovering now and leave the rest to me, understand?" Lu Hang said firmly.

She had barely gotten better and was already at it again, completely disregarding her own health. It made him wish he could tie her to his side and never let her out of his sight.

"Oh!" Knowing he was still upset about her injury, Lin Nannan didn’t dare argue, afraid he’d actually take leave and stay home to watch over her every day.

Now that she could move around again, she didn’t want to be cooped up upstairs any longer. After staying home for so long, even the chatter downstairs sounded sweet to her.

Knowing how she was, Lu Hang didn’t force her to stay indoors. Instead, he said gently, "No going to the fields—your gunshot wound is still healing. But you can go downstairs and chat with the others. Just don’t touch the herbs, got it?"

"Got it!" she replied cheerfully, already scheming to work behind his back.

But she forgot how terrified the military wives had been when she nearly lost her life. There was no way they’d let her lift a finger now.

So when she went downstairs and saw them sorting herbs, she jumped at the chance to help—only to be stopped.

"Nan Nan, just sit here and chat with us. Your back injury isn’t healed yet—no moving around!" Xiao Pei said firmly.

"That’s right! Gunshot wounds take time to heal—no straining!" the others chimed in, leaving her no room to refuse.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say she was fine, but she knew no one would listen. So she obediently sat on a small stool and watched them work...

Before, the military wives had always felt a distance between themselves and Lin Nannan—she was different from them. But after she led them in gathering herbs and then risked her life to save Liu Xiaocui, they were completely won over. Now, their attitude toward her couldn’t be warmer.

Once, they’d thought her inability to cook was embarrassing. Now, they were practically falling over themselves to pile her with homemade goodies.

"Nan Nan, I heard from Pei that your appetite hasn’t been great. I’ve got some special homemade cured meat from my hometown—I’ll bring some over later. Have Commander Lu make you noodles with it—it’s delicious!"

"My smoked meat is amazing too..."

"My mother-in-law sent some dried fish—steamed, it’s so fragrant. I’ll bring you some later!"

Surrounded by their warmth, Lin Nannan felt like she was drowning in food.

They were offering her the best they had to offer, eager to give her everything. It moved her deeply.

"I appreciate your kindness, really. As for the food… well, don’t laugh, but I’ve just been homesick, missing my grandma’s pickles. My family sent me some, so you don’t need to worry about me," she explained with a smile.

"Grandma?" someone asked curiously. "Nan Nan, do you mean Commander Lu’s grandmother?"

"Mhm," Lin Nannan replied openly. "You might know our story. Back when Commander Lu was injured and paralyzed, his original fiancée walked out on him. To get away from my adoptive parents, I married him. But my in-laws have been so good to me—better than to their own daughter, even spoiling me more than Commander Lu. That’s why, after getting hurt, I missed them so much. If I were home, they’d be heartbroken..."
