"Hmm, that doesn't count, it doesn't count." Li Lili laughed immediately after hearing what Chen's mother said, and then spoke up.

Chapter 482 Mother's Kindness and Filial Piety 1

Hearing what Li Lili said, Chen's mother burst into laughter. She thought how wonderful it was to live like this.

After only a short while, Chen Ling continued, "Ningxue, hurry up and eat. I'll take you out later."

"Why did you go out again as soon as you got back?" Chen's mother asked Chen Ling.

Li Lili, who was standing nearby, was also very curious after hearing what Chen Ling said. What was Chen Ling going to do with her so late at night?

At this moment, Chen Ling spoke up, saying, "My things are with my friend. He just texted me to come and get them. I was thinking of bringing Ningxue with me."

“It’s so late, I think we shouldn’t go today. If you really want to go, then go by yourself. Xiaoxue, don’t go.” Chen’s mother said to Chen Ling.

"Mom, you're telling me to go by myself?" Chen Ling asked his mother in surprise. In his heart, Chen Ling thought to himself that he really had no place in his mother's heart at all.

"Didn't I tell you not to go? If you insist on going, can I stop you? Go if you want, it doesn't matter. Just don't let Xiaoxue go." Chen's mother continued.

"Mom, isn't that a bit inappropriate? If I go by myself, there'll be no one to talk to on the way. How will that work? I'll get sleepy on the way." Chen Ling continued.

However, after hearing what Chen Ling said, Chen's mother did not waver in her determination, but continued, "Xiao Xue is still eating. It will be a while before she finishes eating, so you can go by yourself. Otherwise, you can go another day."

At this moment, Chen's mother was still wondering what it was that Chen Ling wanted to go and get so late.

Li Lili, who was standing to the side, was also very curious, so she asked Chen Ling, "What's wrong? Is there something important you need to get? Are you in a hurry?"

"Okay, then you can come with me." Chen Ling said to Li Lili from the side. Chen Ling's tone was full of coquettishness.

"Hey, don't talk to me like that! I can't stand it! What are you? Why are you in such a hurry?" Li Lili continued.

"Yes, what exactly is it? Just tell me what it is." Seeing this, Chen's mother quickly asked as well.

However, after hearing what the two women said, Chen Ling felt helpless. He wondered why they were so curious. Nevertheless, Chen Ling stuck to his principle—to keep it a secret for now.

"It's nothing. If you're willing to let your son go get it himself, then I'll go get it myself. Anyway, you wouldn't want your daughter-in-law to come out with me." Chen Ling said in a nonchalant tone.

However, upon hearing Chen Ling's words, Chen's mother quickly said, "You've misspoke. I didn't say I was willing to let you go. I just told you to go later, tomorrow or the day after, whichever day you have time. But if you're really in a hurry, then you should go by yourself. Xiaoxue has been through so much already, don't make her run around with you."

After Chen's mother finished speaking, she turned to look at Li Lili again...

After hearing what his mother said, Chen Ling thought about it and realized it made sense. Li Lili had been busy all day, and it was good for her to rest. So Chen Ling decided to let Li Lili rest first and go over there himself.

Then Chen Ling spoke to his mother, "Alright, Mom, I'll go get it and be right back. You stay with Ningxue for a bit, and let her rest after she finishes eating."

"Okay," Chen's mother quickly agreed to Chen Ling's words.

However, at that moment, Li Lili asked Chen Ling again, "Where are you going? When are you coming back?"

"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back," Chen Ling replied to Li Lili casually.

After hearing what Chen Ling said, Li Lili was speechless. Chen Ling's words were completely irrelevant and didn't answer any of the questions she asked.

But just as Li Lili was about to say something more, Chen Ling walked out, which made Li Lili even more helpless.

"Let me tell you, Mom, Chen Ling has been acting all mysterious lately," Li Lili said to Chen's mother after Chen Ling left.

It was clear that Chen's mother was still very protective of her son at this crucial moment.

"No, I think it's fine. There's nothing mysterious about it," Chen's mother said to Li Lili with a smile.

However, upon hearing this, Li Lili immediately said, "Look where he's going to get this thing. I just asked him, but he wouldn't tell me. This is already very secretive. It's too mysterious."

"It's alright, he probably had something urgent to do. He said he was just grabbing something, but he was probably in a hurry and didn't have time to tell you. Oh, don't worry about it. When he comes back, you'll know what he went to get, right?" Chen's mother began to comfort Li Lili.

"Well, okay then. It's so late, and he's still out. It's alright, Mom. I'll eat first. If you have anything else to do, you can go ahead and do it. You don't need to stay with me all the time." Li Lili continued speaking from the side.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother said, "It's okay, I'm fine too. You eat, I'll keep you company for a while, so you won't feel bored."

"Haha, okay!" Li Lili quickly and excitedly agreed upon seeing this.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother said, "Xiaoqi said that once she's completely finished with her work, we'll have a meal together."

"Yes, I know, Mom. Xiaoqi told me about it today too," Li Lili replied quickly to Chen's mother after hearing this.

"Then let's go together," Chen's mother continued. At this moment, she was thinking about what Chen Xiaoqi had told her earlier that day, which made her feel very guilty.

"Okay, sure," Li Lili said with a smile to Chen's mother.

Chapter 483 Mother's Kindness and Filial Piety 2

Just then, seeing Li Lili smiling, Chen's mother felt even more uncomfortable. She thought about what Chen Xiaoqi had said and felt extremely sad.

"Xiaoxue, I'm so sorry," Chen's mother said to Li Lili with heartache.

"What's wrong, Mom? Why are you apologizing to me?" Li Lili asked, looking at Chen's mother with surprise.

However, at this moment, Chen's mother reached out and grabbed Li Lili's hand, and then said to Li Lili, "When Xiaoqi told me about this today, she also told me, 'Do you think Chen Ling and I won't let you go out?'"

"Ah! I was overthinking it. I thought you and Chen Ling would worry about me and might not want me to go out," Li Lili said with a smile.

“It’s not like that. Chen Ling and I just don’t want you to be too busy, so we don’t let you do many things, afraid of tiring you out. But we didn’t expect you to feel so depressed. That was indeed my oversight. I didn’t do a good enough job, making you feel so insecure. But don’t worry, this kind of thing won’t happen again. Wherever you want to go, Chen Ling and I will support you. We won’t restrict your freedom.” Chen’s mother said earnestly to Li Lili.

"Yes, Mom, I know. Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you. I know you're all doing this for my own good, I know that." Shen Ninglu said with tears in her eyes.

Seeing Li Lili's swollen feet, Chen's mother's eyes welled up with tears; her heart ached terribly. Thinking about the feelings Li Lili had when she said those words to Chen Xiaoqi made her incredibly sad.

However, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, said at this moment, "Mom, did you make this meal?"

"How did you know? I made it the way Sister Yang taught me. Does it still taste different?" After hearing what Li Lili said, Chen's mother immediately asked Li Lili in a panic.

"Yes, the taste is a little different. It's full of love. It's delicious!" Li Lili said with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother, who was standing nearby, immediately burst out laughing after hearing what Li Lili said. She couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Li Lili's expression.

"You have such a sweet tongue," said Mrs. Chen, smiling at Li Lili.

"Haha, no, it's just that Mom's porridge is very sweet," Li Lili replied to Chen's mother.

Then, Chen's mother asked Li Lili in a flustered manner, "What's wrong? Is it very sweet? Did it affect you?"

"No, no, this is just right, it's so delicious, but it's really sweet, so sweet it warms my heart, hehe." Li Lili quickly explained to Chen's mother.

"Oh dear, how did you become so naughty?" Mrs. Chen said to Li Lili with a smile.

"Haha, isn't it good that I'm a little mischievous? I think it's fine this way, it can ease the atmosphere in our family, right?" Li Lili continued to speak from the side.

However, at this moment, Chen's mother continued to smile and say to Li Lili, "Yes, this is good. It's good to see you happy. It's okay, you can be like this. Do whatever makes you happy."

"Haha, okay," Li Lili said with a smile.

Li Lili then ate her meal while talking to Chen's mother, and soon she finished eating.

"I'll go wash it for you." As soon as Chen's mother saw Li Lili pick up the plate in front of her and prepare to stand up, she quickly said.

“Oh, no need, Mom, I can do it myself. These things aren’t tiring. You were pregnant before, you know, this is nothing, right, Mom?” Li Lili turned to look at Chen’s mother and began to speak.

“That’s true, but when I look at you, I’m very worried. I don’t trust you.” Chen’s mother continued to speak to Li Lili.

"Oh, it's alright, let me do it. I've been getting some exercise lately, and you know, it's good for the baby," Li Lili continued, speaking to Chen's mother.

"Alright then, you can go ahead first," said Mrs. Chen, looking at Li Lili.

Li Lili then nodded, indicating to Chen's mother that she would go over there.

After Li Lili took the things and walked to the kitchen, Chen's mother immediately went to the bathroom to get a rag and started wiping the table.

Soon, Mrs. Chen finished her work and put down what she was holding, heading towards the kitchen.

"Do you need any help?" Chen's mother walked into the kitchen and, seeing Li Lili busy at work, immediately asked.

"No need, Mom, I'm almost done too," Li Lili replied immediately upon hearing the voice.

"Oh, alright." Mrs. Chen said calmly. After speaking, Mrs. Chen did not leave, but continued to watch over Li Lili.

When Li Lili finished her work and turned to leave, she saw that Chen's mother was still standing there.

So Li Lili asked Chen's mother in surprise, "Huh? Mom? Why are you still here? I thought you left. Why didn't you say anything to me just now?"

"I saw you were so focused, I didn't want to bother you. Are you done? Let's go, let's go rest for a while," Chen's mother said with a smile to Li Lili.

So Li Lili stepped forward, took Chen's mother's arm, and then said to Chen's mother, "Okay, let's go."

After walking a few steps, Li Lili and Chen's mother arrived at the living room.

"Dad," Li Lili said to Chen's father.

"Hmm. Xiaoxue, you've finished eating?" Mr. Chen, who was sitting and reading the newspaper, immediately put down his newspaper and looked up at Li Lili after hearing her voice.

"Yes, I've finished eating," Li Lili replied with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother began to say, "Your father and I bought some more clothes for the children. You rest here for a while, and I'll go get them for you to see later."

"Mom, you bought more? There's no need to rush, there's still plenty of time." Li Lili was initially surprised, but after calming down, she spoke up.

Chapter 484 Mother's Kindness and Filial Piety 3

Li Lili thought back to the last time Chen's mother bought these things, she had intended to dissuade her, but seeing how excited they were, she felt embarrassed. But why did they buy them again this time? Li Lili wondered how she should explain it to them.

"It's okay, Mom, we're not in a rush to buy this. You see, we're always buying two sets, isn't that wasteful? You've already prepared all the clothes for the baby's birth. How about we wait until after the baby is born to buy more clothes? That way we can save some money." After thinking carefully for a while, Li Lili said again.

"Okay, sure." After hearing what Li Lili said, Chen's mother felt that what Li Lili said made a lot of sense, so she agreed.

“Yes, Mom. Hehe, let me see what kind of clothes you bought later.” Li Lili quickly said to Chen’s mother.

However, at that moment, Mr. Chen, who was sitting next to them, continued to speak, saying, "You two chat, I'll go get it."

"Okay, then go and get it." As soon as Chen's mother heard what Chen's father said, she immediately agreed.

“Okay,” Mr. Chen quickly replied.

Then Mr. Chen immediately stood up and started walking into the room...

"Your dad and I were free the other day, so we went to the supermarket. We saw some nice children's clothes and couldn't resist buying some," Chen's mother continued after watching Chen's father leave.

"Haha, I know, Mom. These are children's clothes, they're so cute. I think so too, but I've never known if they're for boys or girls, so I've held back from buying them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to wear them, which would be such a waste, right?" Li Lili said to Chen's mother with a smile.

Li Lili knew that Mr. and Mrs. Chen were eagerly anticipating the birth of their child, and as a mother herself, she felt the same way. However, Li Lili restrained herself, knowing she shouldn't start preparing these things too early. Otherwise, having them sitting at home unused wasn't a good idea.

"Hmm, let's wait until the baby is born before buying them. That way we can buy lots of new styles. Come to think of it, these clothes have been sitting at home for a while, and they might not feel as comfortable anymore. Newborn clothes are a bit special, and this time we've been making do with the fabric. They might even spoil if we leave them out for too long," Mrs. Chen continued.

"I don't think so. But we won't buy it so early anymore. It's not very useful. The supermarket is right there, so close and convenient. We can buy it after the baby is born. That's fine too," Li Lili said from the side.
