My buildings have attributes

However, at that moment, Li Lili immediately said, "No, that's not how it works. If you prepare something delicious for me, maybe I'll be able to eat it."

"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll prepare more of your favorite dishes tonight and see if you can eat them all, alright?" Mrs. Shen quickly said.

However, at that moment, they heard Shen's mother say again, "Then we'll be going now."

"Alright, alright, you guys go ahead then." Li Lili said calmly from the side.

So Shen's mother and Shen Ninglu exchanged a glance and prepared to go out to buy groceries.

"Sister, brother-in-law, we'll head out now and be right back," Shen Ninglu said at this moment.

“Okay,” Li Lili said, looking up at them.

Then, Shen's mother and Shen Ninglu went out.

However, at this moment, Li Lili spoke to Chen Ling again, saying, "Didn't you tell Ninglu that you were going to come and pick me up?"

Seeing that Li Lili hadn't asked if Shen Ninglu had contacted him first, Chen Ling immediately said, "Yes, I was thinking of taking you back to hear her opinion. Otherwise, I wouldn't know your current situation, right? I'm afraid it would be a bit abrupt for me to come here suddenly."

“What’s so abrupt about you coming here? Honestly, I don’t understand,” Li Lili said from the side.

"Well, I'm just being cautious, even if it seems like the odds might be against me. Hehe." Chen Ling said.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. I know you too well," Li Lili said helplessly to Chen Ling.

"Haha, that's right. My parents gave me life, but Ningxue understands me best." Chen Ling said immediately after hearing what Li Lili said.

However, at that moment, Li Lili remembered what Chen Xiaoqi had told her on the phone earlier that day, and then she said, "Oh right, Xiaoqi called me today."

"What's wrong?" Chen Ling asked Li Lili.

“She’s almost finished with her work, and Xiaoqi is thinking we should all have a meal together once she’s done,” Li Lili said, looking at Chen Ling.

“Sure, if you want to eat together, then let’s eat together,” Chen Ling said.

“Xiaoqi opening a studio is no small matter. Logically speaking, we should have a meal together after we finish our work. But if you don’t let me go, I feel like that’s not a good idea, right?” Li Lili asked Chen Ling tactfully.

Upon hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Ling couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, and then asked, "Why do you think I'm not letting you pass?"

"Would you really let me pass?" Li Lili asked Chen Ling in surprise.

"Why would I stop you from going? Do you think I'm that bad?" Chen Ling felt a cold sweat break out on his brow. He thought about the image he had in Li Lili's mind—it was just too bad.

"No, I just feel like you won't let me go out," Li Lili said, expressing her thoughts.

"Don't worry, I won't restrict your freedom. I just don't want you to be too tired. I won't interfere with your life. Besides, this is a family meal, how could we leave you out? You're overthinking it," Chen Ling said with a smile to Li Lili.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he was still thinking about Li Lili's misunderstanding of him. It was really too deep.

Chapter 473 It turns out there's more to it than I thought

However, Li Lili was quite surprised after hearing what Chen Ling said, and her opinion of him changed a little. Then, Li Lili looked at Chen Ling with a grin.

"You seem to be feeling a bit better now," Li Lili said, looking at Chen Ling.

Upon hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Ling immediately retorted, "What do you mean by 'a little bit better'? I've always been good to you. It's just that you haven't noticed it most of the time."

Upon hearing this, Li Lili immediately looked at Chen Ling with deep affection and didn't say a word.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Chen Ling asked, looking at Li Lili who was lost in thought.

“So you loved me more than I thought,” Li Lili said.

"Fool." Chen Ling laughed immediately upon hearing this, and then continued speaking.

Yes, men and women are very different, including the fact that when men do things for the women they love, they often choose to do them silently because they are not good at expressing their feelings. They do it, and that's enough; seeing you happy is enough for them.

Li Lili was clearly moved, staring at Chen Ling with longing, unsure of what to say.

Seeing that Li Lili hadn't said anything, Chen Ling pulled her into a hug and said gently, "You, really, you're so easily moved. I've done so much for you, you must be so touched. Okay, okay, it's all what I should do, don't be sad."

"I know, I've always known you've been good to me. Thank you, Chen Ling." Li Lili nodded first, then looked up at Chen Ling and said, her eyes filled with tears.

Then Chen Ling pinched Li Lili's cheek and continued, "Why are you thanking me? We're family. I love you, take care of you, and care about you. This is what I should do. Besides, I'm your husband. If I'm not good to you, who else can I expect to be good to you?"

It must be said that Chen Ling's views on love are quite positive; he knows he should treat Li Lili well, which is commendable.

However, at that moment, Li Lili spoke up again, saying, "Okay, I know. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and our child. I will listen to you from now on."

"Alright, alright, I haven't even thought about making you listen to me yet. The sovereignty of our family is still in your hands. Don't think too much. I'm good to you just to make you happy. I don't expect you to repay me. Just be my little princess. Don't think about what to do. Just be yourself, and I'll love you." Chen Ling said to Li Lili after hearing what she said.

But at that moment, Li Lili said with a smile, "How come you've become so eloquent after just one day?"

Chen Ling was also very happy to see Li Lili smile. The fact that Li Lili could smile meant that her mood had improved considerably. Then Chen Ling immediately continued, "I didn't change overnight. I've always been like this, you just haven't noticed."

However, after hearing what Chen Ling said, Li Lili immediately looked up at Chen Ling again and said, "Is there anything else that I don't know?"

Upon hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Ling immediately laughed and then said, "There are many things you don't know. If I were to tell you them one by one, it would take you a whole day and night to finish listening. Alright, alright, I'll leave these as suspense for you. You can discover them slowly in the future."

"Ah, then it will take me a very long time to find out. Is there anything else I don't know? Just tell me directly. Otherwise, I don't know when I'll understand your good intentions." Li Lili said again at this moment.

However, upon hearing this, Chen Ling immediately smiled and shook his head, saying to Li Lili, "Let me tell you, you don't need to worry about this. I'll handle everything, so you don't need to concern yourself with it. Time will tell, and you'll get to know him better over time, won't you?"

"Time will tell, yeah, so are you planning to spoil me?" Li Lili asked Chen Ling with a grin.

Then Chen Ling looked at Li Lili and said, "Haha, alright, alright, let's not discuss this issue for now. Time will tell, and you'll see how good I am in the long run."

"I knew you were a good person. I was just curious about what else you did for me," Li Lili said, looking at Chen Ling.

However, after hearing this, Chen Ling said calmly, "You should know a saying, right?"

"What did you say?" Li Lili asked Chen Ling curiously.

"It's that saying we often hear: there's no such thing as a peaceful life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for you." Chen Ling said, looking at Li Lili.

After hearing Chen Ling's words, Li Lili immediately nodded, agreeing with him. Yes, there's no such thing as a peaceful life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for you. Li Lili now understood Chen Ling. All her seemingly easy and carefree life was actually prepared for her by him. Thinking of this, Li Lili felt a pang of sadness.

However, at this moment, Chen Ling spoke up again: "Let me tell you something else. You don't need to think about how to repay me. Remember, I don't need you to do anything."

“You just said that to me,” Li Lili said, looking up at Chen Ling.

However, at that moment, Chen Ling laughed and said, "Haha, yes, yes, but I just wanted to tell you again so you wouldn't forget."

"Are you emphasizing this to me? You're not implying that I should remember to do something for you, are you?" Li Lili said with a smile. Li Lili said this on purpose, wanting to play a little joke on Chen Ling.

However, Chen Ling, who was standing nearby, immediately said seriously, "You're overthinking it. I didn't mean that. Don't misunderstand what I said."

Chapter 474: So much has been done? 1

Upon hearing Chen Ling's words, Li Lili first smiled, then began to think that Chen Ling was quite interesting. He said she thought a lot, but it seemed that Chen Ling thought much more than she did.

"I didn't misunderstand you, did I? I was just joking with you. Look at you, why are you getting so worked up? Don't worry, don't get excited," Li Lili said to Chen Ling with a smile.

However, at this moment, Chen Ling began to say, "Well, as long as you haven't misunderstood me, that's fine. I usually don't care about anything or fear anything, but what I can't stand the most is being wronged, especially by you. You absolutely cannot misunderstand me. Remember that."

"Why are you acting like a woman? This is so pretentious," Li Lili said to Chen Ling with disdain.

"Tch, then I'm just being dramatic. Just remember that, okay?" Li Lili said to Chen Ling with a smile.

Then Li Lili said with a slightly disdainful tone, "Okay, okay, I'll remember that. From now on, if anything happens, I'll ask you first, and then we can talk it out slowly, okay?"

"Yes, yes, that's a good idea," Chen Ling said with a smile.

The two of them then chatted back and forth, having a wonderful time.

However, at this time, Shen Ninglu and her mother had already arrived at the supermarket. As soon as Shen's mother arrived, she went straight to the vegetable section, which delayed Shen Ninglu's desire to buy some snacks.

Shen Ninglu followed behind her mother, looking very unwilling. However, her mother was busy with her own things and didn't pay attention to Shen Ninglu's behavior.

"Mom." Shen Ninglu tugged at her mother's clothes like a child and said in a coquettish tone.

"Hmm? What's wrong? What happened? Tell me?" After hearing Shen Ninglu's voice, Shen's mother quickly put down the potatoes she was holding and turned to look at Shen Ninglu.

"I still want to eat something," Shen Ninglu said, pouting.

"Oh dear! Is that all? Really, don't worry, I know. I'll just buy some later. You're acting like a little kid, all aggrieved?" Mrs. Shen said with a smile to Shen Ninglu.

"Yes, as soon as you came over, you started walking this way. I was still looking for something to eat. You didn't even ask me anything, even though you had already passed by. I feel uncomfortable about it," Shen Ninglu said softly, shaking her head.

"Why are you acting like a child, throwing a tantrum? I didn't ask you because I thought you didn't want to eat those things. You're already so old, who would have thought you'd still like to eat them? Besides, if I didn't ask you, you wouldn't have told me you wanted to eat them, would you? If you didn't tell me, of course I wouldn't have known," Shen's mother began to explain to Shen Ninglu.

"Hmm, now that you mention it, it makes sense," Shen Ninglu said awkwardly.

"Oh, you understand now? Then if you have anything else to say in the future, you can just tell me directly, right? I'm not your boyfriend, so why should I guess? What's there to guess? Isn't it better for women to be more direct with each other?" Mrs. Shen continued.

At this moment, Shen Ninglu couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "Mom, you're the cutest one! What you're saying is so funny! Saying that women should talk more simply and directly is hilarious!"

"Is it that funny? I didn't see it. Anyway, it's alright. I just think, if you have something on your mind, just tell me directly. I'm not your boyfriend. Why are you throwing a tantrum and making him guess what you're thinking? I'm your mother. Just tell me what you want. Do you expect me to guess?" Mrs. Shen continued.

However, Shen Ninglu, who was standing to the side, said with a very innocent expression, "Didn't I just innocently tell you that?"

"Oh, alright, I won't talk about these things anymore. Just remember this in the future: if you want something, just tell me directly. Don't be so hesitant and make me guess." Mrs. Shen continued to express her thoughts.

"Oh dear, Mom, why have you become so long-winded? You weren't like this before. You've already said that three times. Let's stop talking about it. I already know. Let's not be so anxious and tense. Don't worry, I won't say that again." Shen Ninglu said to her mother with a smile.

However, upon hearing this, Shen's mother immediately retorted, "Isn't this all because of you? Look how agitated you are. If I didn't talk to you, would you have done better? Honestly, you're the one who's criticizing me, you can't even do it yourself."

"What do you mean no? I'm a little confused," Shen Ninglu said, looking up at her mother.

"It's alright, it's alright, I didn't say anything. Let's see what you want to eat, and we'll buy some to cook for you. That way, you won't start complaining again, saying that I don't care about you or anything," Mrs. Shen said calmly.

However, Shen Ninglu quickly said, "Mom, you're overthinking it. Do you think I'm that kind of person?" After saying that, Shen Ninglu smiled at her mother.

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright, don't worry, I won't, I'm not that petty." Before Shen's mother could speak, Shen Ninglu spoke up again.

However, at that moment, Shen's mother snorted coldly and then said, "Come on, you say you can't? Weren't you just sulking over a little food? If we go home, good heavens, all they'll have their favorite dishes. If there aren't any of yours, you'll probably flip the table."

"Mom, you're overthinking it. How could that be? Nothing like that would ever happen," Shen Ninglu said embarrassedly, feeling awkward after her mother had hit a nerve.

"Alright, hurry up and see what you want to eat." Mrs. Shen reached out and picked up the potatoes she had just put down, while talking to Shen Ninglu.

"Oh, it doesn't matter what we eat. My sister and brother-in-law are the most important. You don't need to worry about me. See what they want to eat, or what you want to eat. I'm fine with whatever I eat. Don't worry about me. Just do whatever makes you happy," Shen Ninglu said calmly.

Chapter 475 So much has been done? 2

However, at this moment, Shen Ning's mother simply did not believe what Shen Ninglu said. How could Shen Ninglu, who had been so calculating just moments before, suddenly become so nice?

"Alright, alright, you're just saying one thing and meaning another," Shen's mother said, rolling her eyes at Shen Ninglu.

"Haha, yes, yes, don't you know what I like to eat? Why are you asking me?" Shen Ninglu said with a smile to her mother.

"Oh dear, this is a death trap! You're really trying to stump me! Seriously, we're shopping for groceries together here. What do you want to eat? Let's just grab it. My goodness, this is giving me a headache," Mrs. Shen said helplessly, rubbing her head.
