Ning Qing's back froze.
"Brother Lie, you're here!"
She rushed over and held Nian Lie's arm, not hiding anything.
Nian Lie looked at the woman on the ground coldly with an unhappy expression. "Yinuo is concerned about you with good intentions, but you're talking to her like this?"
His words were too obvious.
Ning Qing clenched the corner of her shirt tightly and did not explain.
Su Yinuo held Nian Lie tightly. Her eyes were filled with smugness as they landed on Ning Qing. It was as if she was deliberately trying to embarrass her and gouge her heart.
She pretended to be weak and generous. "Brother Lie, I'm fine. Don't blame Big Sister. She must have encountered something that made her so unhappy."
Nian Lie said coldly, "She's heartless, so why is she unhappy?"
"Brother Lie, don't say that. I'm a girl too. Big Sister will be angry. Maybe she just saw me with you."
Su Yinuo pretended to understand Ning Qing's feelings. "If it were me, I would be jealous if I saw my husband with another woman."
Nian Lie's thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and there was no change in his dark eyes.
A bone-chilling coldness seeped into her heart. Ning Qing gritted her teeth and restrained her entire body from trembling. "Are you done?"
"Big Sister, Brother Lie and I just happened to meet and had a meal together. There's nothing between us. Don't be angry."
This explanation was so pale. It was more like a provocation to her.
Ning Qing took a deep breath and stood up.
When she faced them, her expression was already very good.
She pursed her lips and said magnanimously, "Miss Su, you're joking. If the two of you really just happened to meet, of course I won't be angry."
Her reaction was unexpected.
Su Yinuo smiled faintly and held Nian Lie tighter.
"It's good that you're not angry. Big Sister is really generous and understanding. No wonder Brother Lie married you."
Hearing this obvious mockery, Ning Qing's heart felt like it was being pierced by needles.
She remained expressionless. "Miss Su, you're from a prestigious family. You should know the rules better than me."
She looked down at her slender fingers.
Then, it flashed past.
Su Yinuo shrunk back and said carefully, "Big Sister, you're right."
"From what I know, the Su family only has one daughter. I'm about the same age as you. You can call me by my name, but I really can't afford to be called Big Sister."
Su Yinuo's eyes were red. It was as if she had suffered a huge grievance. She wished she could stick to Nian Lie.
"I grew up with Brother Nian Lie and have always called him brother. I was thinking that since you married him, I should call you Big Sister."
Ning Qing narrowed her eyes slightly.
"If you really treat him as your brother, you should call me sister-in-law."
Su Yinuo's face was pale. "I…"
"Enough."
Nian Lie's gaze was sharp and cold.
"Ning Qing, who taught you to be so aggressive?"
Her heart sank.
He really would not help her.
Ning Qing smirked. "Your heart hurts?"
Nian Lie's expression darkened as he pursed his lips tightly. A storm was brewing.
Su Yinuo pulled Nian Lie's sleeve and begged, "Brother Lie, Sister-in-law, it's my fault. It's all my fault. Don't fight because of me."
Nian Lie stared fixedly at Ning Qing as if he wanted to see a hole in her face.
In the end, his face was dark and his eyes were cold. "Apologize."
A cold smile poured from Ning Qing's eyes.
"Ning Qing, I want you to apologize!"
She looked back at the man stubbornly and coldly, her words sarcastic.
"Why should I apologize?"
