Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nian Lie’s parents wanted her to go to the old residence?

Ning Qing did not understand their intentions, but when she reacted, she was already sitting in the car going to the old residence.

On the way, Ning Qing felt uneasy.

When she arrived at the old residence of the Nian family, she looked at the ancient-looking traditional house and smelled the scent of incense floating in the air. Her nerves were tightly strung.

Butler Lu led her around the courtyard for a long time and finally arrived at a pavilion.

Far away, Ning Qing saw the figure sitting by the table.

Butler Lu stopped in his tracks and said respectfully, “Madam, Miss Ning is here.”

“…”

Ning Qing did not speak. Butler Lu reached out and guided her up the stairs.

Ning Qing went forward and stared at the slender woman.

She was wearing an ankle-length ink-black cheongsam. Her waist was like a weak willow branch that was supported by the wind. Her dark and beautiful hair was tied into a bun behind her head, and a top-grade jade hairpin was stuck in her hair. Her posture was delicate, dignified, and generous.

Coincidentally, the woman turned around. She had thin eyebrows and curved eyes. Her well-maintained face revealed no signs of her age.

Ning Qing was stunned. She clearly looked like a woman in her twenties or early thirties.

When Mother Nian saw her, her eyes lit up. She came over and held her hand. “Oh, you’re Qing Qing, right? My son has good taste. You’re really good-looking.”

“…”

“Hurry, come and sit down.”

She was full of smiles as she pulled the stiff Ning Qing to a seat. She turned around and said to Uncle Lu, “Old Lu, get the kitchen to send the cooked bird’s nest over to nourish Qing Qing’s body.”

Butler Lu lowered his body. “Yes.”

Then he moved away.

Mother Nian could not stop smiling. However, even as she smiled, she did not show her teeth and was very generous.

She was an undefeated beauty.

She saw it on Nian Lie’s mother.

Ning Qing remained silent. Mother Nian asked gently, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Did I scare you?”

Ning Qing looked at her hand and shook her head. “No.”

“That’s good.”

A gentle expression appeared on Mother Nian’s face as she looked at her from head to toe. Her thin and long eyebrows were locked together gently.

“You’re just too thin. You’re so thin. How can you be healthy?”

This concern was caught off guard. Ning Qing was a little helpless.

From the moment she woke up, for some reason, she hated it when others touched her.

At this moment, it was obvious that Mother Nian was unwilling to let go of her hand. However, there was no reason for her to retract her hand.

It was because she felt a little of her warmth and love from her.

“You have to eat more when the bird’s nest is sent over later. Take the rest with you when you go back. Rest well, okay?”

Ning Qing nodded obediently. “Okay.”

Mother Nian smiled and patted her hand. “You went to the banquet last night, right? Sigh, it’s all Lie’er’s father’s fault. He suddenly felt unwell, so we came back early. It’s a pity I didn’t see you.”

Ning Qing smiled. “It’s okay… How is Father now? Is he better?”

Her smile did not change. Her gaze was gentle and beautiful, looking very sincere.

“Don’t worry. Your uncle is already fine. He went to the company this morning.”

This title made Ning Qing’s heart ache.

Then, he looked at Mother Nian. The initial smile on her warm and beautiful face remained as if she did not notice that she had said something wrong.

Ning Qing shook off the excess thoughts and lowered her head. “That’s good.”

There was a short silence between the two of them.

Coincidentally, the bird’s nest was served. Mother Nian let go of Ning Qing’s hand and handed her a porcelain bowl. “Qing Qing, try it.”

Ning Qing took it and took a sip under her gentle gaze. It was slightly sweet and melted in her mouth.

Mother Nian smiled and asked, “How is it?”

“It’s delicious.”

“I’m glad you like it.”
