Chapter 28 - Can You Divorce Lieer? (2/2)

The spacious garden fell silent.

Even the air froze for a few seconds.

Mother Nian was still smiling. Her tone was gentle and contained power.

“It’s like this. I know that you didn’t marry Lie’er because you wanted to. You don’t have any feelings for him either. Lie’er is unsociable and doesn’t fit into the crowd. It’s really unfair for a gentle girl like you to be with him.”

“…”

“You’re both still young. There are many more options after the divorce. You can find someone you really like and live happily ever after.”

The woman who was willing to agree with her earlier was silent now.

Mother Nian extended her hand. “Qing Qing, do you think Auntie is right?”

She wanted to shake Ning Qing’s hand, but Ning Qing suddenly retracted it.

As the movement was too big, she knocked over the bowl filled with bird’s nest.

The green porcelain bowl fell to the table and shattered especially suddenly.

Mother Nian’s expression did not look good. “Qing Qing, you…”

“She doesn’t want to.”

Mother Nian was stunned.

Nian Lie had arrived at some point in time. His face was cold as he stood in front of the two of them.

Ning Qing’s hands on her lap clenched tightly.

The next second, her hand was grabbed.

She looked up in surprise. His face was close to hers, and his thick eyelashes covered his eyes. They were slightly dark.

Nian Lie pulled her up and his mother hurriedly stood up. “Lie’er, what are you doing?”

“…”

Nian Lie’s obscure gaze landed on her. Even Ning Qing knew that his mood at this moment was definitely not joyful.

Mother Nian maintained her smile. “I know that there are some things you can’t say. Therefore, I specially brought Qing Qing over today. I’ve said some things for you.”

The grip on his hand tightened suddenly. Ning Qing saw a thin layer of ice on his handsome face and his restrained anger appeared from his clenched jaw.

“When is it anyone else’s turn to make decisions about me and her?”
