Divorce or Not, It Doesn’t Count to Anyone

Mother Nian’s smile froze as she curled her fingers on the table.

“I don’t want to be your decision-maker. I just feel that when you married Qing Qing, she didn’t know it herself. Now that she’s awake, she should have the right to choose between you and not be with you.”

“I didn’t know my mother would be so kind as to care if others had the right to choose.”

When the cold mockery fell, her smile was no longer as bright.

Her smile seemed to be just polite to maintain her gentle and warm persona.

She reminded him calmly, “Lie’er, I’m your mother.”

The corner of her lips lifted slightly as the cold aura around her became stronger.

“You should be thankful that you’re still my mother.”

Mother Nian’s smile finally disappeared.

The gentle facade faded away. That simple and elegant face revealed indifference and dignity. “Nian Lie, you know you should divorce her.”

“What do you mean by should?”

Mother Nian blew out a chaotic breath and said pompously, “She has been married to you for two years. Ignoring the fact that you two didn’t have any feelings for each other in the past, it has already been more than three months since she woke up. The two of you are still on thin ice and can’t be reconciled. In that case, separating is the best choice for you two.”

When he heard this, a ruthlessness that could not be ignored appeared in Nian Lie’s smiling eyes.

He implied, “You guys still like to play such tricks.”

Mother Nian knew her son well. His thoughts were abnormally sensitive and meticulous. She was not surprised at all that he knew that they had found someone to monitor him and Ning Qing.

She raised her chin and said firmly, “We’re doing this for your own good.”

Nian Lie’s thin lips curled up as his gaze swept across the surroundings. The simple pavilion could not hide anyone.

He asked, “When I asked you to come this time, where is he hiding to see the results?”

Mother Nian raised her voice, her intentions obviously to protect him.

“He’s your father!”

Nian Lie was not afraid of her anger at all. His sharp eyes were cold. “Let me guess. Is he there?”

In the pavilion diagonally ahead, the redwood carved window on the second floor was tightly closed, but it was the best place to look down.

When he lowered his head, he could see the entire manor.

His eyes seemed to be looking through the window into the stern and heartless eyes inside.

Ning Qing looked in his direction, her heart thumping.

His father… was there?

Didn’t he say he wasn’t around?

Ning Qing instantly understood something and her heart turned cold.

It turned out that his mother had other motives from the beginning.

She retracted her gaze and looked at the dignified woman in front of her with her clear and cold eyes.

Mother Nian guessed what she was thinking. Her gaze flickered imperceptibly before she changed the topic.

“This is what I mean. Don’t always judge your father with bad intentions.”

“Then why are you guessing my thoughts?”

Mother Nian’s moist lips moved.

Nian Lie’s expression was solemn. His eyes were indifferent, but they also seemed to be surging.

“It doesn’t matter to anyone if we get a divorce or not.”

“Other than me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he held Ning Qing’s hand tightly and walked away.

From afar, Mother Nian’s words were exceptionally clear.

“You know that’s unfair to her.”

The man did not pause and did not even turn back.

In the pavilion alone, a beautiful woman stood there.

On the stone table, there was some steam coming from the pot.

Butler Lu went forward. “Madam, Young Master, and Miss Ning have left.”

Anger appeared on the woman’s face. With a wave of her slender hand, the porcelain pot holding the expensive bird’s nest fell out and exploded.

The water splashed onto the black dress and quickly disappeared.

Butler Lu looked a little afraid. “Madam, don’t be angry.”

The skin on Mother Nian’s hand was firm and smooth. She lowered her head and dusted off her wet dress. She frowned slightly as if she was angry because of this.

She looked at the end of the shortcut in the garden and saw that the two of them were no longer there.

She restrained her expression and waved at Butler Lu.

“Get someone to clean it up.”

Butler Lu lowered his eyes. “Yes.”
