My buildings have attributes

So, Ms. Shen went back to her ward to see Mr. Shen, while Li Lili continued listening to the specialists. After a while, the specialists finished their consultation, and when Li Lili heard their analysis, her heart sank completely. Even after the specialists left, Li Lili's legs were still weak. Chen Ling, seeing Li Lili's state, felt extremely distressed.

"Ningxue, your aunt is still waiting for us," Chen Ling said gently, patting Li Lili's shoulder. Li Lili nodded and tried to get up. But she had no strength left, and she immediately slumped back down.

Seeing this, Chen Ling quickly helped Li Lili up. "Are you alright?" Chen Ling asked worriedly. "Wait a minute, let me catch my breath," Li Lili said, looking up at Chen Ling. So Chen Ling squatted down and looked at Li Lili. After a long while, Li Lili finally said, "Chen Ling, how should I tell my mom and dad?"

After hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Ling didn't know what to say. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's keep it from Uncle for now. We'll tell Aunt about it sometime, so she can be mentally prepared. Aunt knows about Uncle's situation anyway."

“My mom knows, and my dad knows too,” Li Lili blurted out immediately after hearing Chen Ling’s words. She thought to herself, how could Shen’s father not know about her health? Li Lili pondered these things, unsure how to bring them up.

Next, there was her sister's consultation. With so many things piling up, Li Lili felt utterly exhausted. She glanced at Chen Ling, thinking how fortunate she was to have him by her side; otherwise, she feared she wouldn't have been able to hold on. Just then, Chen Ling took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Hearing this, Li Lili immediately burst into tears. She had been holding it in for so long, and could no longer hold back.

Then Li Lili said, "Chen Ling, is my father about to leave me?" Chen Ling looked at Li Lili in front of him, not knowing what to say. He just stroked Li Lili's head and quietly stayed by her side.

Chapter 270 Expert Consultation 2

After a long while, Li Lili finally calmed down. She slowly said to Chen Ling, "I'm all better now, let's go." Upon hearing this, Chen Ling quickly grabbed Li Lili's arm and helped her up.

After standing up, Li Lili said weakly to Chen Ling, "I'm fine, it's okay, let's go." As she spoke, Li Lili gently shook off Chen Ling's arm. Chen Ling looked at Li Lili, then took her hand again, preparing to walk forward.

Then Li Lili said, "Chen Ling, can you tell I've been crying?" Li Lili was worried that if Shen's father saw her, he would be concerned. For so many years, Li Lili had shouldered the burden of the family and rarely cried in front of them. "I can't tell," Chen Ling replied, his heart filled with heartache upon hearing Li Lili's words.

So Li Lili continued walking, wondering how to bring up these things with Shen's mother. When she reached Shen's father's ward, she heard him say, "You're back?" Looking at him, Li Lili felt even more bitter. Trying to hold back her tears, she forced a smile and nodded before saying, "Yes, I'm back."

Before Shen's mother could even ask about the specialist's situation, Li Lili turned to her and said, "Mom, don't miss Ninglu's consultation later." Shen's mother seemed to sense something and agreed. She didn't ask Shen's father about the consultation.

After chatting idly in the ward for a while, Li Lili inquired about Ninglu's condition. She asked Shen's mother, "Mom, how is my sister?" After asking that, Li Lili turned to Shen's mother and asked.

Just then, Shen's mother's expression suddenly changed, and she began to say, "Not good. When I went to bring her food just now, something seemed off again." Thinking back to when she had just seen Shen Ninglu, Shen's mother felt a pang of heartache. She wondered to herself, "What on earth is going on?"

After hearing what Shen's mother said, Li Lili didn't say anything more, just looked at her hands and remained silent. A little while later, it was time for Shen Ninglu's consultation. Shen's father said, "Ninglu's consultation time is here, you should go quickly." Knowing his own health condition, Shen's father didn't ask Li Lili about the consultation results.

"Okay, we'll be back in a bit." Mrs. Shen looked at Li Lili, then said to Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen nodded without saying anything more. So Mrs. Shen and the others prepared to go out. After they came out, Mrs. Shen asked, "Were your father's consultation results not very good?" Li Lili didn't explain anything after hearing this, she just nodded.

Then she began, "Yes, it's not ideal." Li Lili didn't elaborate further, and Shen's mother understood. They had already had tests done at the home hospital, and it was only because her condition had worsened that she had put Li Lili on the electric cooker. The doctor had also mentioned this to them when they were first transferred here. They had hoped that things would turn around at this hospital, but now it seemed like all hope was lost.

Mrs. Shen didn't say anything more, and simply continued walking forward quietly. Soon, they arrived at the consultation room. When Li Lili and the others arrived, they saw that the experts were already there. Chen Ling then said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." After exchanging a few pleasantries with Chen Ling, the experts took Shen Ninglu's medical records and began their consultation.

Shen Ninglu's consultation was quick, and it was over in no time. The experts said, "We have already studied the patient's case. In fact, we can use traditional drug treatment. There is some new research in the United States for this condition, but the drugs are very expensive and the treatment period is relatively long. However, we are 80% confident that this drug can restore the patient's consciousness."

Just then, upon hearing about the high success rate, Ms. Shen immediately said, "Okay, we'll use this medicine." She spoke without hesitation, ignoring the price. At that moment, the experts said, "Our hospital hasn't yet introduced this medicine. If you decide to use it, we'll contact the US and get a course of treatment."

"Okay, okay, thank you so much," Mrs. Shen said immediately upon hearing this. After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, the doctor continued, "One course of treatment costs around 200,000 yuan. This medicine is newly researched and technically quite successful, but it hasn't been released to the market yet, so no one has actually used it. There's no fixed figure to determine the time to recovery." The experts told them everything, simply wanting them to make a good choice.

At this point, Shen's mother naturally knew that this drug was very valuable, and there was no guarantee of success other than the research being relatively successful. However, faced with such a high success rate, Shen's mother couldn't help but want to try again.

Then Li Lili said, "Doctor, please get us some medicine first. No matter the cost, we'll get treatment." Li Lili said firmly to the experts. The experts nodded after hearing Li Lili's words and prepared to leave. After the experts left, Shen's mother began to say, "Your father's treatment costs money, your sister's treatment costs money, where are we going to find so much money?" As she spoke, Shen's mother began to wipe away tears.

So Li Lili walked over to Shen's mother and gently said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm here for you." Hearing Li Lili's words, Shen's mother looked up at her, then lowered her head again, trying to calm herself.

Just then, Chen Ling spoke up again, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll figure something out." Chen Ling knew he could come up with 200,000, but he was struggling with the prospect of needing many more. At that moment, Shen's mother overheard Chen Ling's words. She wiped away her tears, calmed herself, and prepared to say something to Chen Ling.

Chapter 271 Saying They Want to Get a Marriage Certificate

At this moment, Mrs. Shen continued her topic, "How can we keep spending your money? After all, you and Ningxue are just boyfriend and girlfriend." As soon as Mrs. Shen finished speaking, Chen Ling said, "I have already proposed to Ningxue, and we will be getting married soon. Don't worry about these things. Let's solve these problems together right now."

No sooner had Chen Ling finished speaking than Shen's mother impatiently asked, "When are you planning to get married? I wonder if her father will even have the chance to meet her." At this moment, Shen's mother couldn't bring up Shen's father. Upon hearing this, Chen Ling immediately replied, "It all depends on Ningxue's wishes."

So Shen's mother started saying, "Then let's get ready for your wedding." Shen's mother's words were quite clear; she wanted Chen Ling and Li Lili to get married as soon as possible so that they could continue to rely on Chen Ling as their powerful backer. However, Chen Ling was well aware of this as well.

Just then, Li Lili said, "Mom, I'm not in a hurry about this." Li Lili naturally understood what Shen's mother meant, so she spoke calmly. Upon hearing this, Shen's mother began to say, "The main thing is that you know your father's situation. The thing he worries about most is the three of us. My life is pretty much over, and we don't even know what will happen to your sister. And you, you finally have a boyfriend, and we're even at the point of discussing marriage. Why can't you prepare for this sooner? Can't you give your father some peace of mind?"

At this moment, Mrs. Shen spoke to Li Lili in a commanding tone. Li Lili, upon hearing this, fell silent and sat quietly. Seeing this, Chen Ling tried to ease the tension, saying, "Auntie, I'll discuss this with Ningxue when I have time. Let's go out first." As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, Li Lili immediately stood up. At that moment, Chen Ling and Mrs. Shen also stood up, preparing to leave.

Soon they returned to Mr. Shen's hospital room, where they found him asleep. Chen Ling and Li Lili then prepared to go and check on Shen Ninglu, while Ms. Shen stayed behind to keep Mr. Shen company.

After Li Lili and Chen Ling left the ward, Li Lili began to say, "I wonder when Ninglu will get better." As Li Lili said these words, she was feeling very uncomfortable. Chen Ling, who was standing next to her, did not know what to say.

After a while, Li Lili remained silent until Chen Ling suddenly said to her, "Ningxue, let's get married." Li Lili was quite surprised to hear Chen Ling's words.

"Let's talk about these things later. Let's get over my dad and sister's issues first. Don't take my mom's words to heart. She's just a little anxious. Don't worry about it, there's no rush," Li Lili said to Chen Ling in a flustered manner. She felt that Chen Ling was only talking about marriage because of what Shen's mother had said.

At this moment, Chen Ling stopped and said to Li Lili, "It's not because of Auntie, it's just that I want to get married. I've already proposed to you. I had this idea when I proposed, but we've both been busy and haven't had a chance to talk about it properly. Now that's good, we finally have the time. Let's get married and register our marriage tomorrow." Chen Ling's tone was very serious, as if it were already a done deal.

"Don't be in such a hurry. You've seen our family situation, and you know that. I really don't have that idea anymore," Li Lili said calmly. Actually, Li Lili was a little wavering. Being with Chen Ling was her dream, but she wasn't ready yet because of the heavy burden of her family. She really didn't want Chen Ling to be sad for her.

"Are you worried about implicating me? You don't need to worry about that. Leave it all to me. Besides, I can afford to pay for your family's medical treatment. What's mine is yours, so just use it without worry. Why think so much?" Chen Ling immediately saw through Li Lili's thoughts and continued speaking. As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, Li Lili said again, "It's not because of that. I just don't want to think about these things yet." Having her thoughts guessed by Chen Ling, Li Lili forced a smile and said.

"That's good, don't worry about anything else. Tomorrow, bring your household registration book and ID card, and wait for me to come pick you up." Chen Ling said domineeringly, looking even more manly at this moment.

Li Lili opened her mouth, about to say something, when she heard Chen Ling's voice again. Chen Ling said, "We've been putting off our marriage for so long, so don't delay any longer. Don't say anything more, just wait for me to come to you tomorrow, understand?" Chen Ling saw that Li Lili was about to object, so he preemptively spoke first.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he gently nudged Li Lili. Li Lili didn't argue anymore and nodded in agreement. Just then, Li Lili and the others arrived at Shen Ninglu's room. Chen Ling said to Li Lili, "Go in. It's getting late, so I'll head back now. I'll come see her again when I have time." As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, Li Lili quickly replied, "Okay." Then she added to Chen Ling, "Be careful on the road."

Just then, Chen Ling began preparing to go home, and then Li Lili entered Shen Ninglu's hospital room. Shen Ninglu was sitting blankly on the edge of her bed, playing with a toy. "Ninglu," Li Lili said softly as she approached her. Upon hearing her voice, Shen Ninglu immediately looked up at her.

Blood is thicker than water; they were sisters who grew up drinking the same breast milk, so naturally they understood each other perfectly. Even when Shen Ninglu was in a bad mood, she could always slowly recover when Li Lili appeared. "Mmm," Shen Ninglu nodded blankly, staring at Li Lili. Li Lili then stepped forward and took Shen Ninglu's hand. Li Lili then began to tell Shen Ninglu her innermost thoughts.

Chapter 272 Meeting with Best Friend

However, at this moment, Li Lili started chattering, "Ninglu, a guy wants to marry me. He's a very outstanding guy, handsome and talented. He's also very good to me. He proposed to me a few days ago, and he just said he wants to get our marriage certificate tomorrow. I like him a lot too, the kind of liking that makes me want to be his bride, but I really want to be with him forever."

I feel so depressed. Do you think it's because of our family situation? It's just too complicated, and I really can't bear to let him shoulder all that burden. But if I don't agree to be with him, I'm afraid we might not be able to be together in the future. Ninglu, what should I do?

After Li Lili finished speaking, she looked expectantly at Shen Ninglu, hoping Shen Ninglu would talk to her. At that moment, Li Lili thought that if Shen Ninglu was alright, she probably wanted to get married. After all, Chen Ling was truly a rare and wonderful man. Li Lili then wanted to talk to Chen Xiaoqi, but after talking with Shen Ninglu for a while longer, she prepared to leave. At this moment, Li Lili wanted to hear Shen Ninglu's opinion.

After Li Lili left the ward, she immediately called Chen Xiaoqi. As soon as the call connected, Li Lili's impatient voice could be heard.

"Hey, Xiaoqi, are you home right now?" Li Lili's voice was so hurried that Chen Xiaoqi thought something serious had happened. So Chen Xiaoqi asked anxiously, "I'm home, what's wrong? What's the matter?" Just as Chen Xiaoqi finished speaking, she heard Li Lili's voice again. Li Lili said anxiously, "Nothing, nothing, I just wanted to see you. Wait for me a moment, I'm coming to find you now. Let's meet at the coffee shop downstairs. Remember not to tell your brother." When Li Lili said she was coming to see her, she didn't forget to remind her not to let Chen Ling know.

Chen Xiaoqi, now even more curious, hurriedly said to Li Lili, "Okay, I got it. Drive carefully on your way here, and call me when you're almost there." After saying that, Chen Xiaoqi hung up the phone.

At this time, Li Ran had not yet returned, so Chen Xiaoqi went out to tell Li's mother. After Chen Xiaoqi walked into the living room, she saw Li's mother practicing calligraphy there, so she said, "Mom, my sister-in-law wants to talk to me about something, so I have to go out for a while."

"Okay, sure. Be careful on your way home, and come back early. Call us if anything happens," Chen's mother said immediately after hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words. At that moment, Chen Xiaoqi quickly went back to her room to change, preparing to leave. She was eager to know what Li Lili wanted to talk to her about. She was also very worried about Li Lili, having just heard about her family situation, and was afraid that Li Lili might be in some kind of predicament.

In no time at all, Chen Xiaoqi had changed her clothes and was waiting for Li Lili to call her. Soon after, Chen Xiaoqi's phone rang; it was Li Lili calling. Li Lili said, "Xiaoqi, I'm almost there. Start coming over now." Chen Xiaoqi quickly replied, "Okay," and hung up, immediately preparing to leave.

Just then, Chen Ling arrived home. The first thing he did upon returning was look for his household registration booklet. After finding it, he prepared to talk to his parents about getting their marriage certificate. He went straight to their room, knocked on the door, and went inside. Once inside, he said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I have something to tell you. I'm getting married to Li Lili."

However, when Mr. and Mrs. Chen heard this, they were initially secretly delighted, but then they asked, "How are Xiaoxue's father and sister doing now? If you want to get married at this time, what are their opinions? Do they think there's anything inappropriate?"

After hearing this, Chen Ling said to his mother, "Their family has no objections. In fact, her mother also wants Ningxue to settle down as soon as possible because her father's condition has been unstable and his illness has started to worsen. Her mother is very afraid that her father will not be able to see Ningxue get married before he passes away."

After Chen Ling finished speaking, his parents said nothing more. After a while, Chen's father spoke to Chen Ling again, saying, "Your household registration book is ready. You're going to get your marriage certificate tomorrow, right? Okay, then you two go ahead. Your mother and I really like Ningxue. We don't care about their family's situation; we'll help them as much as we can. From now on, we're family. No need for formalities." Chen's father's words were clear: since Chen Ling had already made up his mind, he and his mother had no objections.

"Okay, thank you Dad, thank you Mom. I'll go get our marriage certificate with Ningxue tomorrow." Chen Ling said happily after hearing his father's words. "Well, since you're so happy today, let's not eat at home, let's go out to eat." Chen Ling said happily again.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, his mother replied, "Okay." Today was indeed a day to celebrate. They then packed their things, preparing to go out for dinner. However, at that very moment, Li Lili and Chen Xiaoqi bumped into each other on the other side.

After Li Lili and Chen Xiaoqi arrived at the coffee shop, they got straight to the point. Just then, Li Lili said, "Your brother wants to get our marriage certificate tomorrow. What should I do?" As soon as Li Lili finished speaking, Chen Xiaoqi burst out laughing. Chen Xiaoqi had initially thought something serious had happened, that Li Lili was in such a hurry to see her, but it turned out to be just good news.

Just then, Li Lili looked at Chen Xiaoqi and laughed, then said, "What are you laughing at? I'm telling you the truth, I don't know what to do, I'm just waiting for you to give me some advice."

Chapter 273 A Visit to the Civil Affairs Bureau (Part 1)

Hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Xiaoqi wanted to laugh even more, so she laughed again. Li Lili ignored her, picked up her coffee, and started drinking. It was a long time before Chen Xiaoqi stopped laughing. After calming down, she said to Li Lili, "Isn't this already settled, sister-in-law? Li Ran and I have always called you sister-in-law, and my parents have already treated you as their daughter-in-law. What are you still hesitating about? My brother is just giving you a guarantee and getting a marriage certificate. Just go for it! You'll truly be his wife from now on. Isn't that great? What are you still worried about?" Chen Xiaoqi asked Li Lili seriously.

Upon hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words, Li Lili wholeheartedly agreed. She knew that Chen's parents had long regarded her as their daughter-in-law, and Chen Xiaoqi and Li Ran addressed her as "sister-in-law." She herself also considered herself a daughter-in-law of the Chen family. However, she still didn't understand why she was so anxious.

Li Lili looked at Chen Xiaoqi with a confused expression and asked, "So, am I going to get my marriage certificate with your brother tomorrow?" Chen Xiaoqi rolled her eyes at Li Lili and asked helplessly, "What else? Who else do you want to marry?" Shen Lingxue, hearing this petty remark, didn't know what to say. Then Chen Xiaoqi continued, "Sister-in-law, I've heard about your family situation. My mother told me some things when she called me the other day. Are you having some concerns because of these family matters?" Chen Xiaoqi knew perfectly well that Li Lili was probably hesitant because of her family situation.

So Chen Xiaoqi began to ask questions. She was now acting as a caring older sister, offering advice and comfort to Li Lili. However, Shen Lingxue, standing to the side, looked into Chen Xiaoqi's eyes but said nothing more. But her expression confirmed that Chen Xiaoqi's guess was correct; Li Lili was indeed hesitant.

So Chen Xiaoqi stopped talking and just quietly watched Li Lili, waiting for her to say something more. But at that moment, Li Lili began, "Yes, you're right. I have some concerns because of family matters." Li Lili's intentions were clear: she didn't want Chen Ling to bear too much pressure for her; that would be unfair to him.

However, at this moment, Chen Xiaoqi continued, "You and my brother truly love each other. This has nothing to do with family, finances, or anything else. You just love my brother as a person, don't you? And my brother feels the same way, right? So what are you still worried about? Besides, my brother doesn't mind, so why can't you let go of it?" Chen Xiaoqi's words were quite telling. Even Chen Ling, the person involved, didn't mind, so why was she being so hesitant?

So Li Lili spoke up again, "That's true. Your brother and I truly love each other. He's not the type to care about all this. Well, I won't think about it anymore. Let's just take it one step at a time." Li Lili was now at peace. What was the point of thinking so much? It was enough that two people truly loved each other.

"Yes, that's right," Chen Xiaoqi said, clapping her hands. At this moment, Li Lili began to say, "I already owe your brother too much, and I don't want to think about it anymore. It's hard to repay him in this lifetime. I'll try to make it up to him properly elsewhere." After letting go of her resentment, Li Lili's tone changed.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoqi spoke up again, "Yeah, don't think so much. It's not a big deal. Money is naturally less important than people. Besides, money can be earned back, but once a person is gone, they can't be found again." Chen Xiaoqi continued to comfort Li Lili. Li Lili nodded in agreement and muttered, "Yes, that's right, there's no mistake."

After chatting for a while, Chen Xiaoqi and Li Lili realized it was getting late. Considering that Chen Xiaoqi was pregnant and had difficulty moving around, Li Lili said to her, "Why don't we call it a day? We can chat again later. I'm worried your family might be concerned."

After Li Lili finished speaking, Chen Xiaoqi checked the time and saw that it was indeed very late. So she said to Li Lili, "Okay, I'll head back now. Call me if you need anything. Don't forget to bring your documents tomorrow when you go to register with my brother." Before leaving, Chen Xiaoqi reminded Li Lili not to forget to bring her documents for tomorrow.

However, Li Lili looked at Chen Xiaoqi in front of her and felt that she was more like an elder, so she couldn't help but laugh. Then she said to her, "Okay, okay, I understand. Big sister, you should go back now!" Seeing this, Chen Xiaoqi didn't say anything more, but said goodbye to the neuroscientist and prepared to leave.

After Chen Xiaoqi left, Li Lili sat there for a while longer, checked her phone, and seeing no messages or calls, she prepared to leave as well. By the time Li Lili got home, it was almost nine o'clock. She then started looking for her household registration booklet, preparing to register her marriage with Chen Ling the next day.

After finding her household registration booklet, Li Lili called Shen's mother and said, "Mom, I won't go to the hospital today. Chen Ling and I will register our marriage tomorrow. I'll just rest at home today. Call me if anything happens." Upon hearing that Li Lili was going to register her marriage with Chen Ling, Shen's mother was overjoyed and immediately replied, "Okay, it's alright, don't worry. I'll take care of things at the hospital. Just rest at home. You don't need to come tomorrow either. I'll take care of everything!" From her tone, you could tell just how happy Shen's mother was.

However, Li Lili on the other end of the phone didn't say anything else. She simply said to Shen's mother, "Okay, I understand. You take care of things at the hospital for now. I'll come over tomorrow after I'm done with my work." Li Lili's tone was noticeably cold, and Shen's mother's attitude changed as well.

Chapter 274 A Visit to the Civil Affairs Bureau 2

Then, Shen's mother said, "Fine, fine, do as you please." After saying that, she hung up the phone. Shen's mother was very sad. She felt that Li Lili didn't understand her. She had wholeheartedly thought of Li Lili's best interests, but Li Lili didn't understand her at all, which made her feel inexplicably bitter. However, after Li Lili hung up the phone...

She was also a little angry. She felt that Shen's mother was only pushing her to marry Chen Ling to keep him as a backer. However, this was the very reason why Li Lili had been hesitant to marry Chen Ling. Just then, Li Lili's phone rang. It was Chen Ling calling.

After Li Lili answered the phone, she asked, "What's wrong?" Just then, Chen Ling said, "Just a reminder, don't forget tomorrow. We have important things to do. I'll pick you up at nine o'clock tomorrow. Are you at home?" After Chen Ling finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he didn't know where Li Lili was, so he asked again.

However, Li Lili began, "Yes, that's right. I'm at home. You're coming over at nine tomorrow, right? Okay, I'll wait for you." Hearing Li Lili's words on the phone, Chen Ling felt her attitude had completely changed, and then asked, "Are you Li Lili?" Chen Ling's question successfully made Li Lili laugh. She cheerfully replied, "Yes, I am. I'm your Ningxue. Okay, just let me know before you come tomorrow so I can prepare." Then Li Lili hung up the phone. At that moment, after hanging up, Chen Ling's heart began to race. Thinking about what he had just done with his father and Chen...

His mother's words at dinner filled him with longing for the future, so as soon as he got home, he hurriedly called Li Lili. Meanwhile, Chen Xiaoqi, on the other hand, found Li Ran already home when she arrived.

As soon as Chen Xiaoqi arrived home, Li Ran asked, "What's wrong? Did your sister-in-law want to see you about something?" Li Ran had overheard her mother saying that Chen Xiaoqi and her sister-in-law had gone out to discuss something when she got home earlier that day. So, Li Ran asked as soon as Chen Xiaoqi entered the house.

"Oh, my brother said he wants to get a marriage certificate with my sister-in-law. She's hesitant and came over to ask for my opinion," Chen Xiaoqi said excitedly to Li Ran. She was thrilled that Li Lili was going to be with Chen Ling. She had always wondered when Chen Ling and Li Lili would finally be together, and now, it was great—they were finally getting their marriage certificate!

However, Li Ran was also very happy to hear the news, because he and Chen Ling were good friends, and he was very excited to see his brother find happiness. So he said to Chen Xiaoqi, "I'll call him tomorrow to congratulate him. We can have dinner together sometime." Chen Xiaoqi nodded vigorously after hearing Li Ran's words; she had the same idea. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, as both of them imagined what tomorrow would bring.

They had never felt time pass so slowly as they had today. After a very, very long time, the sun finally rose slowly the next day.

Then they saw Chen Ling had gotten up very early, brushing his teeth while humming a song.

Chen Ling quickly finished washing up and then chose his favorite outfit, preparing to pick up Li Lili. However, it was still before eight o'clock. So Chen Ling left his bedroom to go to the living room to read the news, but at that moment, his mother hadn't prepared breakfast yet.

When Chen's mother saw Chen Ling come out, she immediately asked, "What's wrong, son? Are you too excited to sleep?" Chen's mother knew that Chen Ling must be too excited, after all, she had been through that age herself.

"How could that be? I get up early for work just as often," Chen Ling said, his words contradicting his true feelings. At that moment, Chen's mother stopped saying anything. Since her son wanted to save face, she would grant it; after all, it's better to see through things than to say them outright.

"Wait a moment, breakfast isn't ready yet, and your dad isn't home," Chen's mother said. At that moment, Chen Ling nodded to his mother and didn't say anything more. He then went to the sofa to watch the news.

Not long after, Mr. Chen returned. However, when he saw Chen Ling sitting on the sofa watching the news, Mr. Chen's reaction was not as strong as Mrs. Chen's. He simply walked over to the sofa and watched the news as well.

Soon, Chen's mother had prepared breakfast and called the father and son over to eat.
