My buildings have attributes

"What do you mean, 'think it over'? You should just agree to it, otherwise what's the point of me going to the company?" Li Lili said tearfully, pouting.

"You could chat with your colleagues. If you're bored, why not talk to Chen Mengyao and the others?" Chen Ling suggested.

"What's there to chat about? This isn't about chatting. If I were to chat, wouldn't that be interfering with their work? They're not like me, with nothing better to do," Li Lili said helplessly. Her expression was full of resignation.

"That's not how it works. They also need to balance work and rest. You can take turns talking to them. Talk to this colleague for a while, then go talk to another colleague. Wouldn't that be better?" Chen Ling slowly suggested to Li Lili.

However, at this moment, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, didn't know what to say to Chen Ling. She felt speechless.

Chapter 454 A blank look

Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh when she saw Li Lili's face turning slightly red from holding back her anger. She found Li Lili's current exasperated state utterly adorable.

"Alright, alright, stop sulking. It's not good for your health," Chen Ling advised Li Lili.

However, after hearing this, Li Lili turned to Chen Ling and said, "Tell me yourself, what kind of idea did you give me? How can I go around chatting with everyone? In less than half a day, my colleagues at the company will be talking about me. What kind of terrible idea did you give me?"

"Oh, right, that's the question you mentioned. How come I didn't think of that?" Chen Ling said, looking at Li Lili. Clearly, Chen Ling was saying this on purpose, because his acting was very exaggerated; his expression and voice were full of drama as he spoke.

"Alright, stop spouting nonsense and stop pretending with me," Li Lili said impatiently.

"Ah." Chen Ling was speechless for a moment.

"Take me home, I want to go home," Li Lili said.

"We're on our way home," Chen Ling said calmly after hearing what Li Lili said.

However, at this moment, Li Lili immediately said, "I'm talking about my home. I want to go back to my home."

"Huh?" Chen Ling looked at Li Lili with a blank expression and said in surprise.

"Take me home," Li Lili said again.

"What are you going home for now? Why don't we go together on Sunday?" Chen Ling said gently to Li Lili.

"I want to go home right now," Li Lili said firmly.

Chen Ling, standing to the side, was still in a daze, wondering to himself what had happened.

However, Li Lili continued, "If you don't want to take me home, just stop the car up ahead and I'll go by myself."

“Okay, I’ll take you there.” Chen Ling said to Li Lili.

After finishing his speech, he turned the car around at the intersection ahead and started heading towards Li Lili's home.

Chen Ling didn't say anything more to Li Lili along the way, because he hadn't yet figured out why she had become like this. She was perfectly fine just a moment ago, and now she was suddenly insisting on going back to her parents' home. Chen Ling was completely baffled.

After a long while, Chen Ling spoke again: "Are you angry with me because of what happened earlier? Because I didn't let you do any work?"

"No," Li Lili immediately denied.

"Oh, alright then." Seeing this, Chen Ling didn't want to ask any more questions. He was still thinking that men really get tired. How could women's emotions be so unpredictable?

Soon, Chen Ling and his group arrived at Li Lili's house. As soon as Chen Ling parked the car, Li Lili opened the car door and got out.

"What's wrong with you?" After watching Li Lili get out of the car, Chen Ling hurriedly unbuckled his seatbelt, walked over, and asked.

"Nothing's wrong, I just miss home and want to go home to visit. You go back first. I won't be going back tonight," Li Lili said to Chen Ling.

"Stop messing around," Chen Ling said seriously, looking at Li Lili.

However, Li Lili felt that Chen Ling was throwing a tantrum at her, which made her even more unhappy. She then turned and left without saying another word.

After watching Li Lili turn and leave, Chen Ling followed her.

"Go back," Li Lili said, pushing Chen Ling.

"I've come to see Mom," Chen Ling said to Li Lili.

"No need to look anymore, you should go back first." After hearing this, Li Lili continued to push Chen Ling, thinking that he should just go back.

“No, that won’t do. If Mom finds out I’ve come all this way, she’ll be angry with me if I don’t go in and see her. Besides, if Mom misunderstands and thinks I let you come back alone so late at night, she’ll be even angrier. Let’s go. I’ll go in with you first,” Chen Ling said.

So Li Lili stopped making any futile struggles. She thought, "Let's just go with Chen Ling and see what he's really up to."

"Let me tell you, don't say anything carelessly when we get inside," Li Lili warned Chen Ling. Actually, it was more of a threat than a warning. She wanted to tell Chen Ling not to say anything inappropriate, especially anything bad about Li Lili.

"You know you're in the wrong, huh?" Chen Ling said to Li Lili with a smile.

"What?" Li Lili said calmly. Then she strode forward again.

"Alright, slow down," Chen Ling said from behind.

"Mom," Chen Ling and Li Lili called out.

When Mrs. Shen opened the door, she was quite surprised to see Chen Ling and Li Lili. She wondered why they were here now.

"Why are you here at this hour?" Mrs. Shen asked.

"Ningxue said she missed you, so we came straight over after work," Chen Ling said with a smile.

Li Lili, who was standing to the side, glanced at Chen Ling and then remained silent.

At this moment, Mrs. Shen quickly said, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore, come in quickly."

“Okay,” Chen Ling quickly replied.

"Mom, we came in such a hurry, we didn't bring you anything," Chen Ling continued.

"Oh, you don't need to bring anything. Just come over. We have everything we need at home. You don't need to bring any unnecessary things." Mrs. Shen said with a smile as she poured water for Chen Ling and Li Lili.

"Thank you, Mom," Chen Ling said quickly as he took the water from Shen's mother.

"It's nothing, Ningxue. What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" While talking to Chen Ling, Shen's mother glanced at Li Lili beside her and then quickly asked.

"Mom, hasn't Ninglu come back yet?" Li Lili asked calmly after hearing Shen's mother ask her.

"Hmm, she's not back yet. She's been working overtime these past few days and has been coming home very late," said Mrs. Shen.

“Ninglu is like that, she puts her all into everything she does. She was like that when she was in school too. But that’s good. I’m just worried about her, afraid that she’s working too hard.” Li Lili said.

Chapter 455 No one knows a daughter better than her mother

After Li Lili finished speaking, she lowered her head and began to fidget with her fingers. Watching Li Lili's behavior, Shen's mother felt it was very unusual.

“Yes, that’s just Ninglu’s personality,” said Mrs. Shen.

"Ningxue, is something wrong?" Shen's mother asked Li Lili again.

"No," Li Lili said, shaking her head immediately after hearing this.

"What exactly happened? Just tell me what's wrong," Mrs. Shen continued to press.

"Really, nothing's wrong. What could possibly happen to me? Don't worry, don't worry," Li Lili said to Shen's mother.

"Don't pretend with me. Do you think I don't know you? No one knows a daughter better than her mother. You're my daughter. I understand your emotions better than anyone else," Mrs. Shen continued.

"If you don't want to tell me, then forget it. Chen Ling, tell me." At this moment, Mrs. Shen looked at Chen Ling and spoke. Mrs. Shen thought that since she couldn't get anything out of Li Lili, she might as well ask Chen Ling and see what he had to say.

"Mom." After hearing Shen's mother ask him, Chen Ling first glanced at Li Lili, and then called out to Shen's mother.

Just as Chen Ling uttered the word "Mom," he heard Li Lili cough twice. So Chen Ling turned to look at Li Lili again.

"Ningxue, stop trying to dodge the question. Can't you tell me what's going on? Honestly," Shen's mother said again when she saw Li Lili's expression.

"No, Mom," Li Lili quickly replied after hearing this.

"Alright, you two. Stop hiding it. I understand what you mean. Is Ningxue being petulant?" Shen's mother turned to Chen Ling and asked.

However, before Chen Ling could even reply, Li Lili's voice rang out as soon as Mrs. Shen finished speaking. Li Lili said, "Mom, how could you think like that? That's not right of you. What kind of petty tantrum would I throw? Don't worry, I won't."

"Then why did you come over in the middle of the night?" Mrs. Shen asked.

“I didn’t come over in the middle of the night. I came right after get off work. It wasn’t late when I got off work, so how can you blame me? Besides, it’s not the middle of the night. Look at what time it is. Your youngest daughter still hasn’t come back.” Li Lili chattered on.

"Oh, okay, okay, you're right. So what's wrong? Why did you come here now?" Mrs. Shen continued.

"Mom, look at you, aren't you ridiculous? What can I do?" Li Lili said helplessly.

"Oh, stop pretending with me. I've guessed pretty much right. Is there anything you can't tell me? I've already laid the groundwork. Just tell me," Mrs. Shen continued to press.

"Mom, let me tell you." Just then, Chen Ling spoke up.

"Okay, go ahead and say it," Mrs. Shen said quickly upon seeing this.

"What did you say?" Li Lili, who was standing to the side, said somewhat guiltily after hearing this.

"Mom, it's nothing really. It's just that Ningxue feels she's been too idle lately, so she wanted to come and see you." Chen Ling didn't press Li Lili's questions, but continued talking to Shen's mother.

"And then you started making a fuss, and you came here after work, right?" Mrs. Shen continued, picking up where Chen Ling left off.

Just then, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, quickly retorted, "Mom, that's going too far. What do you mean by making a fuss? I just wanted to come and see you. If you really don't want me to come and see you, then I won't come and see you anymore, okay?"

"You've misunderstood. I didn't mean that at all. I'm so happy you came to see me, why wouldn't I want to? I was just worried about you. I was afraid you might be anxious because you're pregnant," Shen's mother quickly explained after hearing what Li Lili said.

“You’re worried that I can’t interrogate you like a criminal, right?” Li Lili continued.

"Alright, stop chasing after me." Mrs. Shen said calmly, looking at Li Lili.

However, at that moment, Shen Ninglu, who was working overtime, returned. She was quite surprised to find Li Lili and Chen Ling there as well.

"Sister, brother-in-law, have you eaten yet?" Shen Ninglu asked in surprise.

"You're not back yet, what are we going to eat?" Li Lili quickly replied after hearing Shen Ninglu's words.

"Oh, I've been working overtime lately and have been getting home quite late. You must be starving. Okay, let's go out... Oh, we can't eat out. You're pregnant now, and most restaurants aren't very hygienic and are very oily. Let's eat at home. I'll cook." Shen Ninglu said in a panic.

"Alright, come over and talk to your sister. I'll go cook." Mrs. Shen said quickly.

"Mom, please do less," Chen Ling said as he saw Shen's mother standing up.

"Yes, don't worry, I understand," Mrs. Shen replied.

"Mom, then I won't go over to help," Shen Ninglu said to her mother at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen immediately replied, "Yes, no need to go and help. I can manage on my own. Let's not make too much and just have a simple home-cooked meal."

"Okay, sure," Chen Ling nodded quickly.

"You two sisters chat first. I'll call my mom; she doesn't know we're not coming home for dinner tonight," Chen Ling said at this moment.

"Okay, go ahead and do it," Shen Ninglu said quickly after hearing Chen Ling's words.

At this moment, Li Lili remained silent.
