While Chen's mother was still standing at the door, she said in a daze, "That speed is really impressive."

After talking to herself for a while, Mrs. Chen turned around and went back to the living room. She and Mr. Chen had already eaten lunch and were now preparing for their afternoon nap.

"You've seen her off?" After seeing Mrs. Chen return, Mr. Chen quickly put down the newspaper in his hand and began to talk to her.

"Yes, let me tell you, those professionals are just different from us. Their speed is no joke. In a flash, I was only feeling the cold wind before they disappeared." Mrs. Chen said to Mr. Chen with an exaggerated expression.

Upon hearing what Chen's mother said, Mr. Chen immediately burst out laughing. He then said to Chen's mother, "Look at what you're saying, it's really exaggerated. It's not as amazing as you make it out to be, disappearing in a flash. You're using exaggeration here."

Mr. Chen was quite adorable; what he said was really interesting.

However, after hearing Mr. Chen's tone of mockery, Mrs. Chen was very unconvinced and continued, "Really, I'm not exaggerating. I don't think anyone can sprint 100 meters faster than that. It's good for them to train like this. They can participate in the next sports meet."

"You're kidding me," Mr. Chen said, still not believing it.

"Let me tell you, if they send dinner again this afternoon, then you should go and see for yourself. Just hand it to them, and I won't go. See for yourself, and you'll believe me then," Mrs. Chen said, looking at Mr. Chen.

"Alright, alright, I'll see for myself tonight and see if it's really as exaggerated as you say. We'll know then," Mr. Chen said with a helpless nod.

At this point, Mr. Chen still didn't quite believe what Mrs. Chen was saying, which left Mrs. Chen feeling quite helpless.

"Alright, whether it's an exaggeration or not, you'll see for yourself," Mrs. Chen said calmly.

Then, Mr. Chen snorted and said, "Let's go, let's rest for a while."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen looked up at Mr. Chen, feeling very wronged, but she also started to walk over.

However, at that very moment, the order taker quickly arrived at Li Lili's home. The order taker pounded on Li Lili's door, and Li Lili immediately went to open the door after hearing the sound.

After Li Lili opened the door, she saw that it was indeed her lunch that had arrived, and then she smiled and said, "Hello."

However, the order taker next to her quickly said, "Hello, are you Li Lili? This is your item."

"Okay, thank you." Li Lili said thank you quickly after taking it.

However, at that moment, they heard Li Lili close the door.

"Come and eat," said Mrs. Shen as Li Lili approached.

“Okay,” Li Lili nodded.

Just then, Shen Ninglu spoke up, "Sister, you can smell our scent, are you alright?"

"It's okay, I just can't eat it. I don't have much of a reaction to the smell. It's fine, you guys eat, don't worry about me, I can eat this," Li Lili said with a smile.

"Look at what you're saying, telling us not to worry about you. It sounds like such a hurtful and sad thing to say, but you clearly have your own little private kitchen and your own little kitchen. You eat better than us. And you tell us not to worry about you? You should be saying, 'Just eat your food and don't worry about us.'" Shen Ninglu pouted and started to say.

"Haha, okay, okay, then I'll eat first and leave you guys to your own devices." After hearing what Shen Ninglu said, Li Lili first burst into laughter, then spoke, but after saying that, she continued to laugh.

"Okay, you go ahead and eat. Don't worry about us. We'll just have this simple meal," Shen Ninglu said with a smile to Li Lili.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili couldn't help but laugh. Then she said, "Look at what you're saying, acting all wronged. 'Simple meals,' indeed. Would simple meals have all this meat in front of you? You're exaggerating even more than I am. Alright, stop adding to your drama and hurry up and eat."

“Yes, you two should eat first, it’s getting cold soon. Let’s start eating quickly.” Mrs. Shen said from the side.

Chapter 466 In a great mood, with a hearty appetite 2

Then Li Lili and Shen Ninglu exchanged a smile, picked up their chopsticks, and began to eat.

"You seem to be in a really good mood," Shen Ninglu said with a smile as she watched Li Lili eat heartily.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Li Lili looked up at Shen Ninglu after hearing her voice and began to speak. Li Lili's expression was quite innocent.

"It's nothing, I just think you seem very happy today. The way you eat, you seem to have a good appetite," Shen Ninglu said, expressing her thoughts.

"Haha, that's true. It's mainly because I went out for some activities this morning, so I was a little hungry. Usually, you see, I don't do much physical activity, so I don't really expend much energy, and naturally I'm not very hungry, so I don't eat much," Li Lili said with a smile.

"There's another reason, it's because of Aunt Yang's cooking. If it were someone else, do you think Ningxue would even eat it? She would still vomit after eating it anyway." At this moment, Shen's mother also began to speak.

"Hey Mom, how does Aunt Yang cook? It's so amazing! I usually throw up when I eat other things, I really don't know how she does it," Li Lili said, looking at Shen's mother with a puzzled expression.

"I've lived most of my life and I still don't know what happened. Besides, you saw me when you were home, but I've never even seen my face. You want me to tell you? I really don't know anything about it," said Mrs. Shen helplessly.

“This could be considered a business opportunity. When you have time, you can talk to Aunt Yang about it and see if she's interested in starting a business,” Shen Ninglu reminded Li Lili at this moment.

"Oh, yes, I didn't even think of that until you mentioned it. Now that you mention it, it's a really good idea. For pregnant women, not being able to eat is a very harmful and troublesome thing, both physically and mentally. If there's a way to solve this, wouldn't everyone be willing to eat?" Li Lili, who was standing next to Shen Ninglu, immediately thought about the potential for improvement after hearing what Shen Ninglu said, and then began to speak.

"Haha, that's a great idea," Mrs. Shen chimed in at this moment.

Just then, Shen Ninglu continued, "Didn't you say that Aunt Yang's family isn't very friendly to her? If her family isn't willing to invest in Aunt Yang, you can invest in her too. That way, you'll also get a return, and it certainly won't be small. Thinking about the long-term prospects, I think it's a sure-fire way to make money."

“Okay, I’ll ask Aunt Yang when I have time. This is indeed a good opportunity. Ninglu’s business acumen is truly extraordinary now; she’s observed so carefully.” Li Lili nodded in agreement with Shen Ninglu’s words, and then continued from where Shen Ninglu left off.

"Haha, that's for sure. Pay attention to all the resources you can use around you," Shen Ninglu said with a smile.

"Look at me, I don't pay much attention to these things anymore. Sigh, young people really are different now," Li Lili said with a sigh.

"Come on, you're the real high achiever. And you're talking to me like that? It's ridiculous. Are you trying to put me down?" Shen Ninglu said deliberately, looking at Li Lili.

“How could that be? I’m telling the truth. Look at you, your mindset is so high, so different from mine. All I want now is to eat well, drink well, and live forever,” Li Lili said with a smile.

"Oh dear, you two should take a break. Why are you chatting again? Even if you want to chat, don't act like little kids and forget about eating. Hurry up and eat your food, it's getting cold, and you won't be able to eat it later," Mrs. Shen urged them from the side.

However, at this moment, Li Lili and Shen Ninglu continued eating.

In no time, Li Lili finished her meal.

Li Lili herself couldn't believe that she had done this; how could she have eaten so much at lunchtime? She stared incredulously at the empty insulated food container, then touched her stomach.

However, at that moment, Shen Ninglu asked Li Lili in surprise, "Sister, you didn't finish all the food, did you?" Shen Ninglu looked at Li Lili and it seemed that she had finished all the food.

Upon hearing Shen Ninglu's words, Li Lili awkwardly raised her head, then smiled awkwardly rather than politely and said, "Well, it seems I finished it all."

"You're really something! I never expected you to be able to eat so much. There was so much food when it was delivered, I really didn't expect you to finish it all." Shen Ninglu was quite surprised when she thought about the full load of food that was delivered. She thought to herself, "Li Lili really can eat a lot today."

"I didn't expect this either. Maybe I exercised too much today," Li Lili said with a smile, touching her belly.

"Oh dear, it's good that you can eat. You have another one in your belly. This isn't just for you, it's for both of you. Eating a little more won't hurt. Don't worry about it. Women tend to eat more when they're pregnant," said Mrs. Shen, who was standing nearby.

"My sister can really eat! You saw it just now, there was so much food, how could she finish it all in one go? It really surprised me, and it didn't even take long, she ate faster than me!" Shen Ninglu said in surprise from the side.

“Where are there many? I just checked, and there aren’t that many. Don’t scare your sister like that. There aren’t many at all. Don’t talk nonsense,” Shen’s mother reminded Shen Ninglu from the side.

Upon hearing her mother's words, Shen Ninglu immediately realized what was going on. She thought that her mother was probably worried that if they said Li Lili ate too much, Li Lili might really stop eating so much, since Li Lili was very concerned about her figure. So Shen Ninglu immediately changed her approach.

Chapter 467 A Lie Made in Kind

Shen Ninglu first mentally prepared what she was going to say, then opened her mouth, ready to speak.

Then Shen Ninglu began to say, "Sister, after hearing what Mom said, I think she's right. Actually, there wasn't much food in the thermos. It was mainly because your mother-in-law knows how much you eat, so she sent you a portion of your food. It's only right that you finished it."

“Yes, firstly, the portion of food was indeed small, and your mother-in-law brought it according to your appetite, so it's normal that you could finish it; it's not a lot. Secondly, this was eaten by you and the baby in your belly, so the two of you ate this little bit, which is hardly much at all. It's good. Being able to eat is a blessing,” Shen's mother quickly chimed in, continuing Shen Ninglu's words.

"Mom, was the amount my mother-in-law brought over really not much? If it is, I'll be more careful next time. I can't get so fat while pregnant, otherwise it will be really hard to lose weight later." Li Lili said worriedly.

"Oh, don't think so much. If you're hungry, just eat more. Isn't that normal? Besides, this is just how our family is. Look around, no one in our family is overweight. How could you possibly gain weight just because you're pregnant? You really underestimate our family's genes. Don't worry, it won't happen." Mrs. Shen quickly comforted Li Lili.

However, Li Lili, who was standing nearby, was skeptical after hearing this. At that moment, Li Lili was also thinking about the food she had just eaten; it wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a little either.

Seeing Li Lili's hesitant expression, Shen's mother and Shen Ninglu exchanged a smile. Then Shen Ninglu said, "Let me tell you, sister, just eat as much as you want. It's okay. You can eat as much as you want. It's all for your little nephew and niece in your belly. Even if you want to gain weight, it won't be on you. Just relax, it'll be fine."

"You're worrying unnecessarily. Even if you gain weight, so what? Chen Ling won't complain about you. Besides, you're too thin. If you could gain some weight, that would be great." Shen's mother quickly chimed in, agreeing with Shen Ninglu.

However, after hearing what Shen's mother said, Li Lili looked up at Shen Ninglu and her mother, and then thought to herself, "These two are working together, aren't they? Why are they talking in unison?"

Then Li Lili began to speak: "What's wrong with you two? Are you teaming up to talk about me? Why are you cooperating with each other like this?"

"Sister, that's not right of you. Mom and I were just telling the truth. How could there be any talk of partnership? Besides, don't you know your own body type? Honestly, your husband really won't say he dislikes you. Men like girls who are a little chubby. If you gain a little weight, he'll be happy and won't have any other thoughts. Don't worry." Shen Ninglu said seriously to Li Lili.

“That’s right, look at you, it’s true what they say, pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, how come you don’t know anything? How come you can’t even figure out such a simple thing. Sigh. Really.” Mrs. Shen continued.

After hearing what Shen Ninglu and her mother were saying, Li Lili looked up at Shen's mother and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Hmm, what you're saying seems to make a lot of sense. Hmm, okay. That might be it then." Li Lili nodded, seemingly believing but not quite.

“Yes, it’s the best that you’ve come to this understanding.” Shen Ninglu, who was standing to the side, said, wiping away cold sweat in her heart.

Shen Ninglu thought that Li Lili had finally stopped saying anything, otherwise she wouldn't know how to respond. After all, Li Lili had clearly gained some weight in the past few days. But these were all good things; they were happy that she had gained a little weight.

"Alright, now that you've finished eating, let's get some exercise," Mrs. Shen quickly said, trying to change the subject.

"Okay," Li Lili nodded and began to speak. After speaking, she immediately stood up and walked into the living room.

After watching Li Lili walk away, Shen Ninglu immediately whispered to her mother, "Mom, that was really scary. If she had said a few more words, I'm afraid I would have accidentally said that she's a little fat now."

"Don't talk nonsense. She hasn't gained weight; she's just pregnant and might have some water retention," Shen's mother quickly gave Shen Ning a look before speaking.

"Okay, I understand, don't worry, Mom." Shen Ninglu whispered to her mother, then made a gesture of taping her mouth shut to reassure her mother that her mouth was very well sealed.

However, at that moment, Shen's mother said, "By the way, if you have time today, tell Chen Ling to take your sister back. Otherwise, it's too much trouble for his mother to bring her food back and forth."

“Okay, I’ll send a message to my brother-in-law in a bit. My sister seems to be in a much better mood now, so she’d probably be willing to go back.” Shen Ninglu quickly replied after hearing what her mother said.

“Yes, yes, she’s had her fun, it’s about time she went back. Otherwise, all this back and forth is troublesome for both sides. If she wants to come back and stay for a few more days after this period, then she can come back. By the way, should we tell her in advance?” Mother Shen first talked about Li Lili’s return, and then asked Shen Ninglu’s opinion on whether to tell Li Lili in advance.

“I think we shouldn’t do that. My sister will be very happy and excited to see her husband come to pick her up. My brother-in-law is really something, he hasn’t texted or called my sister all day. Didn’t you see my sister waiting for him? She kept checking her phone.” Shen Ninglu said from the side.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have noticed. Now that you mention it, I do remember," said Mrs. Shen with a smile.

Chapter 468 A Petty Report? 1

Mrs. Shen thought that she had seen Li Lili looking at her phone a few times today, but she didn't think much of it and just assumed that Li Lili was just looking at it casually. Now that she thinks about it, it really is because of Chen Ling.

"What do you mean 'just playing around'? You're overthinking it. Let me tell you, my sister is waiting for my brother-in-law. But my brother-in-law is really something, how could he not contact my sister for even a day?" Shen Ninglu muttered to herself.

Upon hearing what Shen Ninglu said, Shen's mother quickly added, "Don't overthink it. He's probably busy, or he wants your sister to have a good rest for the day. Maybe he's even thinking of picking her up this afternoon."

“We’re not him, so we don’t know what he’s thinking. Oh well, I’ll ask him later and see what he has to say,” Shen Ninglu said calmly.

Then we heard Shen's mother quickly say, "Yes, yes, then you should go over there quickly. Ningxue has been watching the two of us chatting here for a long time, she must be starting to get suspicious."

"Mom, why do I feel like we're secret agents? Why are we even being suspicious?" Shen Ninglu couldn't help but laugh after hearing what her mother said.

Seeing what the two of them were doing, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but laugh. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Mrs. Shen and Shen Ninglu were secret agents.

Shen's mother and Shen Ninglu were tidying up the dishes and talking at the same time. It looked a lot like a meeting between secret agents.

However, at that moment, Shen Ninglu immediately said, "Okay, okay, I'm going over there. Let's not talk about this anymore."

Shen Ninglu then walked towards Li Lili's direction.

"Have you finished tidying up for Mom?" Li Lili asked immediately as Shen Ninglu approached.
