Mr. Nian, Your Wife Refuses To Be The Substitute-Chapter 26

Miss Ning, Madam invites You to the Old Residence to Meet

Outside the hotel, Nian Che drove and searched for Ning Qing along the way.

Fortunately, he did not drive far before he saw Ning Qing.

He stopped the car by the roadside and chased after her.

“Sister-in-law!”

Ning Qing was in a daze when someone suddenly patted her shoulder, scaring her so much that she almost fell.

Nian Che quickly grabbed her wrist and said with a smile, “Little sister-in-law, you’re a little scary… What’s wrong?”

Ning Qing’s face was cold. Under the dim yellow light of the street lamps, her exquisite facial features were vivid. Her red lips were pursed tightly, looking charming.

She shook off his hand. “Don’t follow me.”

Nian Che was stunned for a second. “My brother asked me to pick you up…”

“Don’t mention him to me!”

There was no one around.

With this roar, the surroundings became even more silent.

Ning Qing’s chest rose and fell heavily. Her breathing was heavy, and the emotions in her chest were a mess.

Nian Che stood in front of her and stopped talking.

After a long time, the anger and trembling in her heart stopped. Ning Qing slowed down and looked up at him.

“I’m sorry, I’m not in a good mood.”

“It’s okay.”

Nian Che smiled gently.

“Are you done being angry? If you are, I’ll send you home. It’s late. It’s very dangerous for a girl to be outside alone.”

This was beyond Ning Qing’s expectations.

As the second young master of the Nian family, he should have some temper. However, not only was he not angry at her, but he was also thinking for her.

Ning Qing blinked and agreed apologetically. “Okay.” 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

“Then let’s go.”

Nian Che turned around and walked toward the car. Ning Qing hesitated for a moment and followed him.

After getting into the car, the two of them did not speak again.

The lights rustled as shadows flashed past the car window. The car was extremely quiet.

Ning Qing leaned against the car door, her gaze falling as her thoughts fluctuated.

Soon, the car stopped.

Nian Che’s gaze caught her in a daze in the rearview mirror.

The woman’s side profile was graceful, and she looked dazed and fragile.

He hesitated. “Sister-in-law.”

Ning Qing woke up with a start. Her eyes rippled like a frightened deer in the forest, untainted by the mortal world and dust.

He could not say any comforting words.

He only said, “We’re here.”

Ning Qing nodded and got out of the car.

There was a knock on the car window. Nian Lie lowered his head and stuck his head out slightly.

Ning Qing said seriously, “Thank you, Nian Che.”

He tilted his head and smiled. “You’re my sister-in-law. You don’t have to thank me for such a small matter.”

“…”

“Go in. I still have to go back to report.”

Ning Qing nodded.

As he watched the woman walk into the manor and no longer see her, Nian Che sighed softly. He started the car and drove away from Yunjing No.1.

Ning Qing returned to her room. She was exhausted and did not think too much about it. After washing up, she lay on the bed and fell asleep.

For the entire night, she did not hear the car switch off downstairs.

——

The next morning, when Ning Qing went downstairs, she looked at Nian Lie’s room. The door was closed.

Indeed, he did not come back last night.

She went to the kitchen expressionlessly and made breakfast. Just as she finished eating, she heard the sound of a car outside.

Ning Qing grabbed a tissue and wiped her mouth and hands clean. However, the person who came in was not who she thought he was.

A man in his forties walked in. When he saw Ning Qing at the dining table, he nodded slightly. “Miss Ning.”

Ning Qing looked him up and down. He was wearing a suit and a bow tie. He was tall and straight, and it was obvious that he had undergone good training.

She narrowed her eyes and asked, “You are?”

The man’s expression was serious. “I’m from the old residence. You can call me Uncle Lu.”

Ning Qing stood up. Her thoughts were in turmoil as she asked the man for his purpose in coming. “Uncle Lu, what are you looking for me for?”

Butler Lu’s tone did not change. “Madam invites you to the old residence to meet her.”
