A cold male voice interrupted.
Ning Qing lowered her head and stopped in her tracks. Nian Che had already walked up to the two of them.
He placed his hands behind her back and leaned against the table. His tall nose twitched.
"I knew it. I heard you asking me to cook bird's nest early in the morning. So it's because Sister-in-law is coming."
Nian Lie teased Ning Qing. He turned around and looked at his mother. "Mom, if you want to see your daughter-in-law, you should have said so earlier. I could have just brought Sister-in-law back for you to see last night."
"Che'er, don't talk nonsense."
Mother Nian looked back at her. "Che'er is young and not like his brother. He doesn't know how to control his words. Don't mind him."
Ning Qing did not know if she was hallucinating, but the woman who was still friendly at first seemed to have become much tougher.
Ning Qing's heart turned cold.
