 Chapter 6: Your older sister is so elegant, no wonder you married her, Lengge

Ning Qing's back stiffened.

"Brother Lian, you're here!" Su Yinuo's voice was soft and gentle as she rushed over and took Nian Lian's arm without any hesitation.

Nian Lian looked coldly at the woman on the ground, his expression displeased. "Yinuo is concerned about you, and you speak to her like this?"

His words were too obvious.

Ning Qing clenched her clothes and remained silent.

Su Yinuo tightened her grip on Nian Lian's arm, her eyes filled with satisfaction as they fell on Ning Qing, as if she was deliberately trying to humiliate her and hurt her.

She pretended to be weak and generous, "Brother Lian, I'm fine. Don't blame your older sister. She must have encountered something that's making her unhappy."

Nian Lian's thin lips pursed. "She's heartless, why would she be unhappy?"

"Brother Lian, don't say that. I'm also a girl, and your older sister might just be upset because she saw me with you," Su Yinuo seemed to understand Ning Qing's feelings well. "If I were in her place, and I saw my husband with another woman, I would be jealous too."

Nian Lian lips remained straight, and his dark eyes showed no emotion.

The bone-chilling coldness penetrated Ning Qing's heart. She gritted her teeth and restrained her trembling body. "Are you done talking?"

"Older sister, Brother Lian and I just happened to meet and have a meal together. There's really nothing going on between us, so don't be angry," Su Yinuo explained, but her explanation sounded feeble and more like a challenge to Ning Qing.

Ning Qing took a deep breath and stood up from the ground.

When she faced them, she had regained her composure.

She smiled and said, "Miss Su is joking. If you two really just happened to meet, I won't be angry."

Ning Qing's reaction caught Su Yinuo off guard.

Su Yinuo smiled and tightened her grip on Lengge's arm. "It's good that you're not angry. Your older sister is really elegant and generous. No wonder Brother Lian married you."

Ning Qing felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart by the obvious sarcasm in Su Yinuo's words.

Without showing any expression on her face, she said, "Miss Su comes from a prestigious family and is well-behaved and obedient. You should know this better than me."

She glanced down at the arm that Su Yinuo was holding with her delicate fingers, then turned and walked away.

Su Yinuo shrank back and said carefully, "I've learned my lesson from my older sister."

"As far as I know, Su's family has only one daughter. We're of the same age, so you can call me by my name. But I can't bear to be called 'older sister'," Ning Qing said sarcastically.

Su Yinuo turned red, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She wanted to stick herself to Nian Lian's side.

"I grew up with Nian Lian since we were kids, and I've always called him older brother. I assumed that if you and he were married, then I should call you older sister."

Ning Qing narrowed her eyes slightly.

"If you really think of him as your older brother, then you should call me sister-in-law," she said.

Su Yino's face turned pale. "I..."

"That's enough," said Nian Lian, his gaze sharp as a blade, cold and hard.

"Ning Qing, who taught you to be so aggressive?" His words caused her heart to sink.

He really wouldn't help her.

Ning Qing's lips twitched. "Do you feel sorry for her?"

Nian Lian's expression darkened, his thin lips tightly pursed, like an impending storm.

Su Yino grabbed Nian Lian's sleeve, pleading, "Brother Lian, sister-in-law, it's my fault. Everything is my fault. Please don't fight because of me."

Nian Lian stared at Ning Qing, as if trying to read her thoughts from her face.

Finally, with a dark expression, he said, "Apologize."

Ning Qing's eyes overflowed with a cold smile.

"Ning Qing, I want you to apologize!" He said stubbornly and coldly to the man before her, her words dripping with sarcasm.
