However, at that moment, Chen Ling smiled and said, "That's true too."

Li Lili then ignored Chen Ling and left.

Li Lili had just entered the living room when she found Chen's mother sitting there watching TV. However, she could indeed hear cooking sounds coming from the kitchen.

So Li Lili walked towards the kitchen and found that it was Aunt Yang cooking inside.

"Aunt Yang, what brings you here? I was just talking to Chen Ling, and I didn't tell you my parents are back." Li Lili was quite surprised to see Aunt Yang here, so she immediately asked.

Upon hearing the voice, Aunt Yang immediately turned around. Then she quickly smiled and said, "Hehe, it's nothing, I just asked you yesterday when your mother and the others would be back, and they just happened to be back. So I came over today."

"Oh, I see. I was just about to say that. Now that you're here, I can tell you. Hehe, it's alright, you go ahead and do your work. I'm going to see my mom." Li Lili said with a smile.

However, at that very moment, Li Lili finished speaking and immediately turned and walked towards the living room. Then, Li Lili immediately greeted Chen's mother…

"Good morning, Mom," Li Lili said with a smile.

"Hmm, Ningxue, you're up! Good morning." Upon seeing this, Chen's mother quickly greeted Li Lili.

"Yes, he's up. Chen Ling is up too, probably in his room looking at something, he hasn't come out yet," Li Lili nodded and said to Chen's mother.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother said with a smile, "It's alright, let him watch there. Don't worry about him. We can just chat."

"Haha, okay!" Li Lili replied with a smile upon seeing this.

Then Chen's mother smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, what have you been doing these past two days?"

"We just climbed a mountain and looked at the stars at night," Li Lili replied with a smile.

Chapter 728 A Different Morning

No sooner had Li Lili finished speaking than Chen's mother began to speak again.

"Oh, so you didn't do anything else?" Mrs. Chen looked at Li Lili and said very seriously.

"Hmm, that's all." Li Lili, who was standing to the side, still didn't quite understand what Chen's mother meant, so she replied casually.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother quickly smiled and said, "Yes, it's nothing, it's nothing. I was just asking casually."

"Okay, I understand," Li Lili replied calmly.

Then, after Li Lili finished speaking, she quickly added to Chen's mother, "Wait a minute, Mom, I suddenly thought of something."

"What?" Mrs. Chen asked, not understanding.

“We even watched the sunrise this morning,” Li Lili replied excitedly.

Then, after Li Lili finished speaking, she immediately laughed again.

"Oh, is that so? I knew it! You guys didn't get to see the sunrise or sunset while you were up in the mountains. I was just about to ask you about it," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

However, at this moment, Li Lili quickly spoke up, saying, "Yes, we did see it. We hadn't reached the top of the mountain yet when the sun set, so we were basically watching the sunset while climbing the mountain. It wasn't a very spectacular view."

"Yes, yes, it's an experience in itself," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Then Li Lili nodded in agreement, and at the same time, Aunt Yang began to bring the dishes out of the kitchen.

"Dinner's ready, come and eat." Aunt Yang said as soon as she saw Mrs. Chen and the others sitting in the living room.

"Yes, yes, Aunt Yang." Li Lili replied immediately after hearing the voice.

However, at that moment, Li Lili, after finishing her speech, immediately turned to look at Chen's mother and said with a smile, "Mom, I'll go call Chen Ling for dinner."

"Okay, sure," Mrs. Chen nodded in response.

After Li Lili returned home, Chen's mother immediately took out her phone and started calling Chen's father. However, before Chen's mother could get through, Chen's father had already returned from outside.

Then Chen's mother smiled and said, "I was just about to call you, and you're back already!"

"We're on the same wavelength," Mr. Chen said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, stop joking around and go wash your hands and eat," Mrs. Chen continued.

Then, after Chen's mother finished speaking, she saw Chen Ling and Li Lili walking out of the room.

"Dad, you're back!" Li Lili said as soon as she saw Chen's father after she came out.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and eat. I'll be right there," Mr. Chen replied.

Then they saw that Chen's mother was already sitting at the dining table waiting for them.

"Wow, what a lavish breakfast today!" Chen Ling exclaimed as he walked to the side and saw the breakfast on the table.

"I just wanted to give you some nourishment; you've been working too hard these past few days," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Then Chen Ling quickly said, "Mom, it's not just to nourish us, it's to nourish everyone. You and Dad have been quite tired these past few days."

"Sigh, don't even mention it, it's really exhausting," Chen's mother said immediately after hearing this.

When Chen's mother first came back, she felt that she had really gotten old; she was out of breath after just a few steps. She no longer had the energy to jump around.

"Haha, it's okay. From now on, I'll have my dad carry you when we go out to play." Chen Ling said with a smile as he looked at his mother.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother quickly followed up on Chen Ling's words, saying, "I thought you were going to say that everything was fine and that I would take you out in the future. It turns out that's not how things went."

"Mom, are you hinting at something? If you are, then I understand. If you're just saying it casually, then I won't take it seriously." Chen Ling looked at his mother and spoke very seriously.

Chen's mother immediately said, "Then just take it as me hinting to you, and believe it."

"Okay, I understand," Chen Ling replied with a smile.

Just then, Mr. Chen walked over and heard their laughing and joking. He immediately asked, "What are you talking about? Why are you having so much fun?"

"Let's talk about how we'll go out next time," Chen Ling replied casually.

"Haha, the next time won't be for a long time. I don't dare to go out to play lately. It's too tiring," Mr. Chen said, waving his hand.

“Yes, I know you’re tired. We’re all pretty tired, aren’t we? Today we were talking about Chen Ling taking us out to play in the future, but you shouldn’t go anymore. I don’t think you’re really suited to go out with us.” Chen’s mother turned to Chen’s father and said.

"Oh, Chen Ling is taking us out for a trip? Now that you mention it, it's true, it seems like it's been a long time since we've had a road trip. By the way, what do you mean by that? Why am I not suitable? Not suitable to go out with you? What are you thinking?" Mr. Chen turned to ask Mrs. Chen.

"Oh, it's alright, it's alright. You can go if you want, or play by yourself if you don't want to," Mrs. Chen replied casually, pursing her lips.

However, at this moment, Chen Linglian spoke up again, saying, "Hey, Mom and Dad, can you not be in such a hurry? Let's talk about this later. Anyway, we won't be going out to play anytime soon. Let's eat first. Ningxue and I are going to work after we finish eating."

“Yes, yes, you guys eat, it’s okay, you guys eat,” Mr. Chen quickly said.

After finishing his speech, Mr. Chen glanced at Mrs. Chen again.

"Haha, Mom and Dad, you're still like little kids, with childlike hearts." Li Lili said with a smile.

"Sigh, come on, you're always getting angry with your dad. He's making your health worse," Mrs. Chen replied casually.

After finishing her speech, Chen's mother turned to look at Chen's father again.

Chapter 729 One should not speak while eating or sleeping

When Mrs. Chen turned to look at Mr. Chen, her eyes were full of smiles. However, Mr. Chen, after hearing what Mrs. Chen said, ignored her completely.

"Mom, Dad treats you really well. You can't say such irresponsible things." Chen Ling looked at his mother and spoke very seriously.

But just then, Chen's mother smiled and said, "Haha, I really didn't know. Do you know how good your dad has been to me?"

"Sigh, I feel it's unfair for my dad to talk like that. How could you not know? Sigh. I'm really speechless. We should speak with a clear conscience," Chen Ling said with a smile to his mother.

Then, Chen's father began to say, following Chen Ling's lead: "Sigh, don't criticize me. I'm already feeling numb. Isn't this normal? Your mother is just like that; she never says anything good about me."

"Haha, now that you know what kind of person my mom is, that's enough. This is just her habit. I doubt she'll change it." Chen Ling said to his mother with a helpless expression.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother, who was quite indignant, said from the side, "Is it okay for you two to talk about me like that? Are you sure you want to talk about me like that?"

"Yes, that's right. You won't let us talk about it? The eyes of the masses are discerning. We just want to point out your shortcomings so you can make up for them, isn't that right?" Chen Ling quickly began to speak at this moment.

Seeing this, Mr. Chen immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, that's right. Let's all look at your shortcomings and quickly point them out to you. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand. All I know is that we're eating now. 'One should not talk while sleeping or eating.' Do you know that?" Upon hearing this, Chen's mother immediately spoke up, saying what she wanted to say.

"Oh, is that what you mean? I understand. I get it. So you just want us to eat quietly and not talk, right? Okay. We'll shut our mouths and eat properly from now on." Chen Ling immediately started talking.

However, at that moment, Li Lili quickly said, "Ah, okay, okay, let's eat quickly."

"Okay, let's eat, let's eat," Mr. Chen said quickly upon seeing this.

"Okay," Chen Ling replied with a smile.

The dining table fell silent for a moment, but not for long. Soon after, Chen's mother's voice could be heard again.

Then, Chen's mother asked in confusion, "Why do you say your father is very good to me? I haven't noticed it."

As Mrs. Chen spoke, her heart was filled with joy. How could Mr. Chen forget all the kindness he had shown her? She simply felt wonderful to have others speak of it for her.

As soon as Chen's mother finished speaking, Chen Ling hurriedly said to her very seriously, "Mom, we just talked about not talking while eating or sleeping. Look, we're eating properly, why are you starting a new topic? Do you want to chat with us for a while longer?"

"Yes, I was hoping to chat with you for a while longer. Well then, since you don't want to talk, I won't ask anymore," Mrs. Chen quickly added.

"Okay, let's eat quickly." Chen Ling said calmly, looking at his mother.

Then, right after Chen Ling finished speaking, Chen's father gave Chen Ling a thumbs up. Of course, Chen's father did this quietly, not daring to let Chen's mother see it.

"Ahem." However, Li Lili still noticed Mr. Chen's action, so she quickly coughed twice to signal him to be more discreet.

However, Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh after seeing Li Lili's action...

"What are you thinking about?" Chen's mother, who was standing nearby, noticed Chen Ling's meaningful smile and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing," Chen Ling said, shaking his head quickly.

Then, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, also started to evade the question by saying, "Mom, I'm full, I'm going over now."

"Okay." After hearing this, Mrs. Chen nodded in surprise.

Then Li Lili smiled at Chen's mother, then stood up and went back to her room to get ready. Li Lili hadn't started putting on makeup yet today.

However, at that moment, Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, began to eat faster after Li Lili left.

After Li Lili finished eating, she saw Chen Ling walk over as well.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Ling asked as soon as he entered the room and found that Li Lili was not busy.

"Ah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about something else," Li Lili said softly as soon as she heard the voice.

"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious? Okay, okay. I won't worry about it anymore. You should get some rest." Chen Ling quickly said to Li Lili at this moment.

Then, after Li Lili finished speaking, she immediately burst into laughter. She didn't say anything more after that, and simply continued applying her makeup.
