My buildings have attributes

However, after Hengheng finished speaking, Pipi and Jingting couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, as did Li Lili and the others. Even Chen Ling himself seemed about to cry from anger.

"You guys really are terrible teammates," Chen Ling said to them with a hint of helplessness.

"Are you saying that I'm not afraid of wolf-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates?" Jingting asked with a smile after hearing Chen Ling's words.

Jingting's response was spot on; that was exactly what Chen Ling was thinking.

"Alright, alright, it's nothing, what's the big deal? If you want to say something about me, then go ahead and say it, I don't care. You guys continue." At this moment, Chen Ling completely abandoned his teammates and immediately shook his head helplessly as he spoke.

Then Pipi smiled and said, "Yeah, you're right, it's nothing serious at all, there's no need to get so excited, it's okay, don't panic."

"What exactly are you trying to say? Just say it already! You've been brewing this up for so long, and you still haven't gotten to the point. I'm getting impatient," Li Lili urged from the side.

"Haha, look how happy my sister-in-law is! She's already eager to hear it, while we're still hesitating and dawdling about whether to tell her or not. It's really true," Hengheng said with a laugh.

Hengheng is right. They've been talking about Chen Ling for quite some time now, and they don't know why they haven't revealed it yet. Maybe they're too kind-hearted. They haven't had the heart to expose Chen Ling's true nature.

"Then you two speak, what do you want to say? Tell your sister-in-law." At this moment, Chen Ling spoke through gritted teeth.

"Haha, look how angry you've made my brother. Forget it, let's give him some face today and not talk about this anymore, otherwise I reckon he won't be able to eat in a little while." Jingting said to Chen Ling with a smile.

At this moment, Chen Ling didn't actually say he was unhappy, but he was a little worried about Pipi and the others. If he really told them about his embarrassing past, it might be a little awkward.

"You've thought of me now? Let me tell you, it's too late. I have no appetite anymore. How about it, are you happy? Are you satisfied?" Chen Ling said with a smile.

Everyone could tell that Chen Ling was joking, but no one said anything. Instead, they pretended not to know and looked at Chen Ling with surprise...

Then Hengheng, who was standing to the side, quickly added insult to injury to Chen Ling, saying, "That's great! If you don't have an appetite, just watch us eat. If we need anything, we can contact you directly."

"Yes, yes, that's right, that's exactly how it is, perfect, very perfect." Chen Ling said helplessly.

However, at that moment, Chen Ling, after finishing his speech, showed a mysterious and helpless smile, followed by an awkward yet polite laugh...

"Haha, okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's skip it, let's skip it." Li Lili, who was standing to the side, quickly changed the subject.

Although Li Lili knew that Chen Ling wasn't angry yet, she couldn't guarantee that he would continue chatting calmly as if nothing had happened. Li Lili was worried that Chen Ling and the others would keep joking around, and eventually become unhappy. If things got awkward, that wouldn't be good. After all, that wasn't the effect they wanted today.

Clearly, Li Lili was overthinking things this time. Why would Chen Ling care so much? They've been good friends for so many years. Since they've been friends for so long, there must be some common ground or a deep bond between them. They certainly wouldn't become unhappy because of just a few words.

"It's alright, sister-in-law, that's how we are when we're together. Don't worry about it affecting our relationship. It won't. Our relationship is very deep, probably even closer than that of blood brothers." Just then, Pipi, who was standing to the side, heard what Li Lili said and quickly said with a smile.

Pipi didn't mean anything by saying this; she just wanted to tell Li Lili not to worry so much.

"Haha, that's for sure. You men aren't like us women, getting inexplicably angry over just a few words. It's okay, you two continue chatting. We'll just listen," Chen Mengyao quickly said, trying to smooth things over for Li Lili.

However, at that moment, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "Hmm, I was overthinking it. You two chat."

“Sister-in-law, it’s alright,” Pipi said again.

Then Jingting, who was standing to the side, quickly said, "I've never admired anyone in my life, but I truly admire Chen Ling. His ability to get things done is no exaggeration. He's decisive, fast, and most importantly, perfect. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes, that's right. That's exactly how it is." Hengheng readily agreed at this moment.

Then Chen Ling appeared and said with a smile, "I feel like something's not right. The atmosphere has changed a bit too quickly. I'm afraid I can't handle it. I can't accept it."

"Look at you, if you ask me, this is your problem. When did you develop this bad habit? We can't praise you or talk to you, what do you want? Honestly, you're so hard to please, it's inexplicable." Chen Ling quickly said from the side.

Then Chen Ling smiled and said, "Haha, it does sound like there's something going on. Alright, if you want to praise me, then praise me. I'm all ready. Go ahead and say it."

Just then, Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, finished speaking and started laughing again.

Chapter 656 Manchu Han Imperial Feast?

Chen Ling quickly finished his work and returned. However, as soon as he reached the door of the private room, he heard noisy voices coming from inside.

"What are you talking about? You seem so happy." Then, seeing Chen Ling walk in, she immediately asked.

"Well, it's nothing. Hahaha." Li Lili quickly replied to Chen Ling upon seeing this.

However, at that moment, Chen Ling was seen standing to the side, and he said with some doubt, "Really? I don't think things are that simple."

"Haha, that's for sure! We said some bad things about you while you were away. Haha," Pipi quickly chimed in.

Then Hengheng echoed Pipi's words, saying, "But you don't need to worry. It's nothing serious, just a very small matter, nothing at all."

"Whatever, I don't want to worry about this anymore. Say what you want, it's too late for me to say anything now anyway," Chen Ling said, shaking his head helplessly.

Chen Ling thought to himself that the decision he made today was a real mistake. He regretted bringing such a terrible friend along.

"Sister-in-law, is your sister single?" Just then, Pipi asked Li Lili.

However, after Chen Ling heard what Pipi said, he immediately said to Pipi in a very serious tone, "Let me tell you, it doesn't matter whether you have a boyfriend or not, but you can't have any designs on Ninglu."

"Why can't I fight? What's wrong with me?" Pipi asked, quite indignantly.

"You're great, perfect, wonderful, absolutely wonderful, so I don't know how to praise you enough. But as good as you are, Ninglu isn't suitable for you, so don't get any funny ideas." At this moment, Chen Ling said to Pipi in a very serious tone.

This left Pipi feeling quite helpless, but she didn't try to do anything more for herself.

At this moment, Pipi smiled and then said, "Okay, okay, let me tell you the truth. It's not that I want to make a move on Ninglu. It's just that I think Jingting is pretty good. He's never had a girlfriend before, and I think he and Ninglu are a good match. I can introduce them to each other and let them become friends."

"Oh? Is that so? Okay then." Li Lili said with a smile.

At that moment, Jingting, who had been silent all along, suddenly felt that she was being shot even though she was lying down. So she immediately turned to look at Pipi beside her and said to Pipi, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you saying all this nonsense? Stop it, stop joking around."

"I was just joking, don't take it seriously. Really, why are you so agitated?" Pipi quickly said, seeing Jingting's reaction.

Pipi wondered if her good intentions had been wasted. Why was Jingting not only ungrateful but also so agitated?

However, when she thought of this, she saw Li Lili standing to the side and quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Ninglu doesn't have any plans in that regard yet. Don't get excited, there's no rush. When Ninglu wants to find a partner in the future, we'll ask you to help introduce her to someone."

Before Li Lili could even finish her sentence and smooth things over, she noticed Shen Ninglu's unusual reaction. Shen Ninglu was clearly getting impatient. She disliked this atmosphere, especially since it involved her.

However, at that moment, Chen Mengyao smiled and said, "If you think Ninglu is pretty good, you can start lining up. We'll let you know when we start calling numbers."

"Okay, sure, sure," Pipi quickly replied.

Then, after Pipi finished speaking, he looked at Jingting beside him, still thinking about Jingting's reaction earlier, which seemed a bit off. While Pipi was pondering these thoughts, the dishes they had ordered began to be served.

In no time at all, almost all the dishes had been served...

"Is this a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?" Li Lili, who was standing to the side, asked in surprise after seeing the table full of dishes.

"Not a victory, right?" Chen Ling replied calmly.

"Yeah, how did we order so much food? It's a good thing we didn't, otherwise we couldn't possibly finish it all," Chen Mengyao remarked from the side.

Then Shen Ninglu continued Chen Mengyao's words, saying, "Yeah, when I was looking at the menu, I felt like I had ordered every single dish on it, but I've never seen anything like this before. The table is so crowded with all these dishes."

"Yeah, that's right. But it's okay, we don't have any time restrictions, we can eat from dinner to late-night snack, right? It's alright, don't worry, let's start eating." Just then, Chen Ling was heard saying with a smile.

Then Liu Yuyang, who was standing next to Chen Ling, quickly chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, we can just skip the second show tonight and have fun here. We'll go back whenever we're done eating, okay?"

"Haha, that's a great idea, it's good." Hengheng nodded in approval.

However, at that moment, Li Lili appeared with a smile on her face. She then gently patted Shen Ninglu's arm and smiled at her again.

Li Lili's action was mainly because she was worried that Shen Ninglu might feel uncomfortable or bored, so she thought she could use this physical contact to tell Shen Ninglu that she was not alone.

"Let's start eating quickly. We've been talking for so long, we must be tired by now. Let's replenish our energy first, and then we can start moving around later," Chen Ling said with a smile.

Then Pipi and the others started nodding in unison, indicating that they could have it. Although they said they weren't hungry, it was well past mealtime and they were starving. Besides, with so much delicious food in front of them, how could they possibly resist?

Chapter 657 A Man of Profound Righteousness

Just then, Pipi and the others quickly picked up their chopsticks and began eating dinner. However, Chen Ling displayed remarkable gentlemanly manners. It turned out that after picking up his chopsticks, the first piece of food he placed was for Li Lili, who was sitting next to him.

Chen Ling's action was not intentional today; rather, this has always been how he treats Li Lili.

When Li Lili saw the food Chen Ling had placed on her plate, she immediately smiled at him. Her expression was that of a completely demure woman, radiating happiness.

Then Li Lili quickly whispered to Shen Ninglu, "It's okay, we're all friends, don't feel uncomfortable."

"Yes, I know. Don't worry," Shen Ninglu quickly replied in a low voice after hearing this.

Then, after Shen Ninglu finished speaking, she also started eating.

However, at that very moment, they saw Hengheng and the others also heartily eating. Yes, that's right, everyone started eating when faced with delicious food…

The conversation has temporarily come to a halt at this point.

"This dish is quite delicious." But the good mood didn't last long. Before long, Pipi started the conversation again, and they started chatting again.

"Yes, it's really quite good," Chen Ling said upon seeing this.

Then Liu Yuyang laughed and said, "Yeah, it's really delicious. Let's eat more today, especially the ladies here. Don't let yourselves not eat properly just to maintain your figure."

"Haha, don't worry about that, it definitely won't happen," Chen Mengyao said immediately after hearing this.

Chen Mengyao is right; none of the three women said they were afraid to eat to their heart's content.

"Yes, it's okay, you guys eat, don't worry about us. We're eating too," Li Lili quickly said.

Then Shen Ninglu quickly added, "Mmm."

Just then, Chen Ling spoke up again, "It's alright, no rush. There's still plenty of time, everyone take your time eating."

"Let me tell you, Chen Ling. How long has it been since we last got together?" Just then, Pipi asked Chen Ling very seriously.

"Yeah, it's been about half a year, hasn't it?" Hengheng chimed in at this point.

"Yes, it's been half a year, but there's nothing we can do about it. We have our reasons, you know," Chen Ling said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Haha, yes, yes, your sister-in-law is very strict with you, isn't she?" Hengheng said with a smile.

"You're really wronging me. I never said I cared about Chen Ling. I don't know why, but that's just how it is. I went straight home after work," Li Lili said innocently.

However, at this moment, Shen Ninglu quickly said, "This shows that you two have a good relationship. You both think about each other and are just waiting to finish your work so you can go back and be together."

"Haha, if you put it that way, then I really won't argue with you at all. Haha," Chen Ling said with a laugh.

“Yes, that’s right,” Chen Mengyao quickly added upon seeing this.

Then Pipi, who was standing to the side, quickly said, "Shh, don't show off your love so blatantly. Think about how we single people feel."

"Huh?" Li Lili exclaimed in surprise after hearing this.

"Yes, don't get so excited. Let's talk things out when we get home," Hengheng said with a smile.
