My buildings have attributes

"No, no, that's not what I meant. Having an older sister would be the best, but having an older brother is also quite nice," Shen Ninglu quickly explained.

However, at that moment, the people around them, seeing the two of them like this, all burst into laughter.

“It’s so much better to have an older sister. You can talk to each other about your feelings. This never happens between me and my brother. In fact, we often fight, but you just didn’t see it before. Our relationship has only improved a little now,” Chen Xiaoqi said with a hint of disdain.

Chapter 418 Speeding Up with Turning the Page

Chen Ling was very dissatisfied after hearing what Chen Xiaoqi said. He thought that Chen Xiaoqi was going too far and always changed her mind faster than turning the pages of a book.

So Chen Ling asked Chen Xiaoqi, "You're being so heartless. Haven't I been good enough to you?"

"Look, look, my brother's started again. He's always like this. They haven't even exchanged a few words before they're arguing again." Chen Xiaoqi pointed at Chen Ling and said to Shen Ninglu after hearing what Chen Ling said.

"See? Shen Ninglu, now you know how good I am." Li Lili quickly said to Shen Ninglu at this moment.

"Ah, I understand, I understand," Shen Ninglu said from the side.

"Chen Xiaoqi, I've noticed that you change your mind faster than you can turn the pages of a book," Chen Ling continued.

"That's it, I just like to race against time by flipping through books, what do you want?" Chen Xiaoqi said to Chen Ling, sticking out her tongue.

However, Mr. Chen, seeing Chen Xiaoqi's reaction, became a little angry. He then said to Chen Ling and Chen Xiaoqi, "You two, that's enough. How can you be so disrespectful? Everyone is eating. Look at the mess you've made!"

"It's alright, this is what makes it lively," said Mrs. Shen at this moment.

“They’re used to being so boisterous at home, look at them now, they’ve lost all sense of propriety. I’m really sorry,” Mr. Chen said to Mrs. Shen.

"It's alright, they're still just kids. Even though they've all started their own families, they still have this innocence in their bones, which is quite nice. Ningxue and Ninglu are always very polite to each other, and now Ningxue has even learned to joke around. That's good too, and everyone is happier this way," Mrs. Shen continued.

“Yes, Chen Ling always jokes with Ning Xue, and Ning Xue has picked up some of it. What you said is true; joking around often does improve everyone’s mood, and they often laugh and giggle.” Chen’s father continued.

“That’s right, Dad, this is what a home should be like. And you can’t criticize us, but if we all just sit here quietly eating like idiots, how boring would that be? The house wouldn’t be lively at all.” Just then, Chen Xiaoqi saw what her father was saying and quickly seized the opportunity to speak.

However, at this moment, Mr. Chen continued to criticize Chen Xiaoqi. He said, "I didn't say you couldn't do anything, nor did I say you couldn't joke around with Chen Ling. I just told you to be mindful of the occasion, you know? I think you have no sense of propriety now. I only said a few words to you, and look how many topics you've changed now."

"Okay, okay, I got it, I won't mention it again," Chen Xiaoqi said, sounding aggrieved.

"Alright, alright, let's eat. Come on, eat more." Seeing that Chen Xiaoqi's expression had changed, Li Ran quickly started putting food on Chen Xiaoqi's plate.

“Okay.” Chen Xiaoqi turned to look at Li Ran and said.

At this moment, Mr. Chen noticed that Chen Xiaoqi was a little unhappy, and he felt a bit embarrassed. He opened his mouth, ready to speak to Chen Xiaoqi, but before he could utter a sound, Chen Xiaoqi interrupted him.

"Dad, Mom, let me tell you, you should probably start preparing things for the baby now," Chen Xiaoqi said loudly.

However, after hearing what Chen Xiaoqi said, Mr. Chen immediately smiled. Yes, seeing that Chen Xiaoqi's mood had calmed down, he was very happy.

“Yes, yes, you’re right, we need to decorate his room.” Mr. Chen quickly added, echoing Chen Xiaoqi’s words.

"Dad, is that really necessary? If we're decorating the room, we don't even know if it's for a boy or a girl. What color scheme should we choose?" Li Lili said in surprise.

“I think Dad is right. We should definitely decorate the room first. Otherwise, it will be too late if we wait until the baby is born,” Chen Ling added from the side.

“How could it be too late? In the beginning, we certainly wouldn’t let him sleep in a room by himself, so there’s absolutely no problem.” Li Lili insisted on her opinion and continued to speak.

"Well, you're right." Chen Ling didn't know what else to say.

"Let's listen to Xiaoxue for now. We won't renovate the room yet. We can put the baby's clothes and shoes aside for now," Chen's mother said at this moment.

Li Lili actually wanted to say that it was a bit early to prepare, but seeing the reactions of Chen's mother and the others, she thought that it might be inappropriate for her to say that, so she didn't say anything more.

"Okay," Li Lili nodded. In her heart, Li Lili thought, these things can be left as they are; if they want to prepare, then let them prepare in advance.

“Okay, I’ll take care of this. I’ll go to the mall tomorrow and get all these things ready,” Mrs. Chen said quickly.

“Okay, Mom, thank you.” So Li Lili began to express her gratitude.

"Don't thank me, it's only right," Mrs. Chen quickly said.

“Yes, Xiaoxue, this is indeed what we should do. You shouldn’t say thank you. As grandparents, it’s only right that we prepare these things,” Mr. Chen chimed in from the side.

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work." Li Lili said again.

At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Chen exchanged a smile and then continued eating.

Just then, Chen Xiaoqi's phone rang.

Chen Xiaoqi glanced at her phone and saw that it was Li's mother calling. She immediately looked at Li Ran and said, "Mom called."

"Hurry up and answer it, something must have happened," Li Ran said quickly.

"Mmm." Chen Xiaoqi nodded to Li Ran.

Then Chen Xiaoqi answered the phone and immediately asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Xiaoqi, when are you coming back? Qingqing has been crying and looking for you." Li's mother said anxiously on the phone.

However, at this moment, Chen Xiaoqi also heard Qingqing crying.

Chapter 419 Willing

I saw Qingqing crying nonstop. Maybe that's just how kids are; when they're not feeling well, they always want their mothers to be by their side.

"Okay, we'll go back now." Chen Xiaoqi said hurriedly, then hung up the phone and immediately stood up.

"What's wrong?" Li Ran and Chen's mother asked at the same time.

"Qingqing is crying and keeps asking for me. Let's go back quickly," Chen Xiaoqi said hurriedly.

Li Ran immediately stood up as well, saying, "Let's go back first," and started walking outside.

"Don't rush, drive slowly," Chen's mother began to instruct.

"We know, don't worry, I'll tell you when we get home," Chen Xiaoqi said loudly, and then immediately walked out with Li Ran.

"Having a child is truly terrifying. Look how anxious they've become after this commotion," Chen Ling said with a grin.

"Do you still want the child? It's not too late to regret it now," Li Lili said deliberately from the side.

"Of course I want to, and I'm willing to be like this from now on. Just don't do anything reckless," Chen Ling quickly replied after hearing what Li Lili said.

"Xiaoxue is just teasing you, really." Chen's mother said helplessly, looking at the excited Chen Ling beside her.

"Oh, I'm afraid Ningxue might do something reckless," Chen Ling immediately said.

"I'm the child's mother, what could I possibly do wrong? Honestly, you really don't trust me at all," Li Lili complained to Chen Ling.

Upon hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Ling quickly began to explain, "You've really wronged me. It's not that I don't trust you; I'm just worried about you and the baby."

"Oh," Li Lili replied casually.

"Alright, Ningxue." At this moment, Shen's mother reminded Li Lili to stop.

“Okay,” Li Lili said, looking at Chen Ling.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Chen's mother noticed that everyone had almost finished eating, so she said, "Have you all finished eating? You can rest now, I'll tidy up here."

"Mom, let me help you," Li Lili said quickly.

“I don’t need your help. I wouldn’t even let you help me before, and now that you’re pregnant, I’m even less willing to let you help me,” Chen’s mother said with a smile after hearing Li Lili’s words.

“Alright then,” Li Lili said.

“In-law, let me help you,” said Mrs. Shen, who was standing to the side.

"No need, I can do it myself. It's alright, you guys go ahead and rest. I'll come over after I'm done tidying up. It's nothing much, it'll only take a little while, no need to help," Mrs. Chen quickly said.

“Alright then, we’ll head over there first, Mom,” Li Lili said from the side.

Then Li Lili pulled Chen's mother along and started heading towards the living room.

Then Chen Ling and Shen Ninglu followed.

"Why don't you go over there?" Mrs. Chen said to Mr. Chen.

“If I go over there, you’ll be all alone here,” Mr. Chen said with a smile.

However, Mrs. Chen was very happy after hearing what Mr. Chen said.

"At least you still have a conscience," said Mrs. Chen, looking at Mr. Chen.

However, Mr. Chen didn't seem to like Mrs. Chen's way of speaking, and then said to her, "If you keep talking like that, I'm leaving."

"Oh, then you can go." Mrs. Chen said to Mr. Chen seriously.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you about it," Mr. Chen said helplessly.

"Please bring all of those over to me," said Mrs. Chen, pointing to the table.

"Okay." Mr. Chen looked in the direction Mrs. Chen pointed and immediately said. Then, Mr. Chen took the things and delivered them to Mrs. Chen.

"Thank you for your hard work, my wife," Mr. Chen said after handing the plate to Mrs. Chen.

"It's alright, I'm just happy," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"Haha, yes, our family is finally going to have a new member." At this moment, Mr. Chen also started to say with a smile.

It's easy to see how much the family was looking forward to the arrival of this little baby.

"Let me tell you, you'll come with me to buy some things tomorrow," Mrs. Chen said again.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen immediately said, "I thought you would ask Sister Yang to go with you, why did you ask me?"

"Don't you want to buy something for your grandson and granddaughter?" Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at Mr. Chen, then said helplessly.

"Haha, of course I'd like to! Okay, let's go tomorrow morning," Mr. Chen said readily.

"Okay, let's go. Let's go to the living room," said Mrs. Chen.

While Chen's mother and father were chatting, Chen's mother finished washing all the dishes.

So Chen's mother and father started walking towards the living room.

"Mom, sit here." Li Lili said quickly as soon as she saw Chen's mother coming over.

"Okay," and then I saw Mrs. Chen walk over with a smile.

“We were just talking about you,” Mrs. Shen said with a smile.

"Huh? What's wrong? What are you saying about me?" Chen's mother asked in surprise after hearing what Shen's mother said.

“My mom says you cook well,” Li Lili said with a smile.

"Haha, I thought it was something else. I was planning to go out to eat together when you all came over, but Xiaoxue said she wanted to eat sweet and sour fish. I thought it wasn't very hygienic to eat out, so we'll just eat at home." Chen's mother said at this moment.
