My buildings have attributes

"Mom, thank you." Li Lili turned to Shen's mother and said very earnestly.

However, at that moment, it was noticed that Li Lili, after finishing her speech, seemed about to cry. She then wiped away the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" Shen's mother asked in a panic as she looked at Li Lili's behavior.

Then they saw Li Lili listening intently to what Shen's mother was saying, and then she replied with a smile, "No, I was just joking with you."

"What do you mean, 'joking'? What kind of joke is this? You don't seem to be joking at all. Tell me quickly, what's wrong?" Shen's mother asked Li Lili with great concern.

However, at that moment, Li Lili quickly shook her head, and then a smile appeared on her face...

"It's really nothing, Mom. What could possibly be wrong with me? There's really nothing wrong," Li Lili said with a smile.

Seeing Li Lili's tearful yet forced smile, Mrs. Shen felt a pang of heartache. However, she knew her daughter well enough; if Li Lili didn't want to talk, no amount of questioning would yield any results.

However, at that moment, Li Lili immediately said after finishing her sentence, "Mom, look at me, Chen Ling and I are together, and we came home so happily for dinner today. Do I look like something's wrong? Don't worry about me. I'm really fine. I just felt so sorry for you seeing you busy in the kitchen."

"Silly girl, why are you so upset about this? Honestly. You cried over such a small thing? Aren't you ashamed?" Mrs. Shen looked at Li Lili, feeling both helpless and amused. Then Mrs. Shen gently began to speak to Li Lili again.

“It’s not shameful at all. What’s shameful about crying in front of your own mother?” Li Lili said to Shen’s mother in a very willful manner.

"You really are like a child who never grows up," said Mrs. Shen, shaking her head helplessly as she looked at Li Lili.

Then, Li Lili simply looked at Shen's mother quietly and did not continue speaking.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Li Lili's blank expression, Shen's mother quickly asked again.

"I wasn't thinking about anything. It's nothing," Li Lili replied casually.

Then she saw Mrs. Shen nod, seemingly in disbelief. She then said nothing more.

Then Li Lili laughed and said, "I was just attracted by my own mother's beauty, haha."

"Come on, you've been waiting all these years, and you're only now being attracted to my beauty?" Mrs. Shen said, laughing heartily as she looked at Li Lili.

However, at that moment, Li Lili was genuinely amused by Shen's mother's words. Li Lili thought that Shen's mother was right; it was indeed true. Shen's mother was truly beautiful and had a high level of attractiveness. She and Shen Ninglu had inherited a large portion of Shen's mother's genes.

Just as Li Lili was thinking about this, she suddenly thought of Shen Ninglu, and then she remembered that Shen Ninglu hadn't replied to her messages all day. So Li Lili immediately started talking to Shen's mother.

“You’re absolutely right, you’re right. Yes, Mom,” Li Lili said from the side.

Then, after Li Lili finished speaking, she smiled sweetly at Shen's mother.

"Let me tell you, I still think you're acting very strangely today. After all these years, are you only now realizing how hard I've worked?" Mrs. Shen turned to look at Li Lili and said with a smile.

"No, but I only felt this strongly today, it's really true." Li Lili said very seriously.

However, at that very moment, I saw Li Lili smiling and saying, "Mom, I love you so much."

"Loving me is enough, hurry up and take these things over," Shen's mother said to Li Lili.

Then Li Lili immediately nodded, and then started carrying the things on the table towards the dining table in the living room.

Then Li Lili was seen carrying dishes as she walked, and said to Chen Ling, "Chen Ling, come and help."

"Okay." After hearing this, Chen Ling immediately put down his phone and then continued speaking.

Then, after seeing Chen Ling stand up, Li Lili immediately said, "Okay."

Chen Ling then went straight to the kitchen, washed his hands, and began serving the dishes.

"Why did Ningxue have to come over? She could have just served all the dishes herself. Honestly," Mrs. Shen said hastily after seeing Chen Ling come over to serve the dishes.

"It's alright, Mom, it's nothing. You should go and rest for a bit, I can take these," Chen Ling replied with a smile.

“That won’t do. That won’t do,” Mrs. Shen quickly said.

Then, after finishing her speech, Shen's mother picked up the dishes and walked with Chen Ling towards the dining table in the living room.

Just then, Li Lili was about to go over and serve the dishes when she saw Shen's mother and the others walking over. She then quickly asked, "Is there no more food?"

Li Lili thought that Shen's mother and Chen Ling had already brought over four more dishes by this time. Adding the two she had just brought over, that made four in total. So she figured that was about right.

"Yeah, that's all," Chen Ling said with a smile.

Then, Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, quickly said after finishing his sentence, "Sit down, you can eat now."

"Okay, I understand." Li Lili nodded and began to speak.

Li Lili then immediately sat down again...

Chapter 744 The Taste of Happiness

However, at that moment, Li Lili sat down, and then Shen's mother and Chen Ling put down the dishes they were carrying and immediately sat down as well.

"What are you thinking about?" After sitting down, Shen's mother asked Li Lili.

"Huh? What do you mean? I wasn't thinking anything," Li Lili said in surprise.

Then, Shen's mother nodded and then smiled and said, "Then why are you so calm? I really have no idea what you're thinking."

"Oh, right, Mom." There's something else I wanted to ask you.

"What's wrong? You seem quite mysterious." Seeing Li Lili's expression, Shen's mother quickly began to speak.

Then Li Lili said with a smile, "Yeah, it's so mysterious. Okay, okay, I just want to ask you, what's going on with this Ninglu? I've been texting her all day and she hasn't replied. And I just realized that we actually started eating today? Aren't we waiting for her?"

"Oh, you mean Ninglu? She's away on a business trip. She hasn't been home lately," Mrs. Shen said casually.

Then Li Lili exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? What? Ninglu went on a business trip? Where did she go? When did this happen? I didn't know! This is terrifying! Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"Why are you so agitated? What could have happened? You didn't even ask us, did you? Besides, I thought you and her were still in contact, but who knew you didn't know? She's only been gone for two days, not long. She's usually very busy during the day, so she hasn't had time to contact you."

"Hmm, is that so? I was just wondering what was going on. Why isn't she replying to me? By the way, where did she go? When is she coming back?" Li Lili continued to ask.

"Where in the south did they go? They said they'd be gone for a week, but I don't know the specifics." Then, Shen's mother quickly replied.

"Uh, okay, I see. Oh, I see. I'll see if she contacts me tonight." Then Li Lili said with a smile.

Li Lili figured that Shen Ninglu would probably reply to her when she wasn't busy in the evening. So Li Lili quickly started eating.

"Yes, yes, let's eat first. We've been so busy chatting that the food is getting cold." As soon as Shen's mother saw Li Lili picking up some food, she immediately started talking.

Chen Ling then nodded quickly and began picking up the food.

"What does it taste like? Has my cooking improved?" After watching Li Lili and Chen Ling swallow their food, Mrs. Shen asked expectantly.

"Mmm, delicious, really delicious! Your cooking skills have improved a lot!" Li Lili quickly replied.

"It feels just like a mother's." Then, as soon as Li Lili finished speaking, she quickly added with a smile.

"Haha, that's good, as long as you like it." After hearing Li Lili's approval, Shen's mother immediately smiled and said.

Then Chen Ling immediately spoke up, saying, "It's full of happiness, the taste of home."

"Haha, because it's home-style cooking." Mrs. Shen was very happy to hear Chen Ling's praise, but she still spoke to them calmly.

"Yes, Mom, don't just think about us, you should eat too," Li Lili said with a smile.

Then, after Li Lili finished speaking, she immediately laughed and said, "By the way, Mom, is there anything you want to ask us?"

Li Lili was thinking about Shen Ninglu's love life, so she spoke first, hinting to Shen's mother.

However, it seemed that Mrs. Shen didn't have anything she wanted to know. She simply said, "Is there anything you want me to ask you? If so, just say it."

“How would we know what you want to tell us or ask us? If you have anything you want to ask, just ask it directly,” Li Lili said, looking at Shen’s mother.

Then, Shen's mother shook her head and said blankly to Li Lili, "Alright then, since you have nothing to say to me, I feel the same way. I have nothing to ask you either."

"Are you sure, my dear mother?" Li Lili continued speaking at this moment.

"What are you thinking? Are you hiding something from me? If you want to tell me, just say it. Don't make me guess. I can't figure it out no matter how much I guess." Mrs. Shen put down her chopsticks and began to speak to Shen Ninglu very seriously.

"Oh, okay, I really don't have anything to say to you, it's alright." Li Lili spoke up again at this moment.

Looking at Li Lili, Mrs. Shen seemed quite confused, unsure of what Li Lili was trying to say. So, Mrs. Shen decided not to concern herself with the matter anymore. She then picked up her chopsticks again, began tidying up her things, and prepared to continue eating.

"Eat more," Mrs. Shen said, serving food to Li Lili and Chen Ling.

"Thank you, Mom." Just then, Chen Ling was seen smiling and saying this.

"You should eat more too," Chen Ling said quickly from the side.

Then Li Lili suddenly laughed and quickly said, "Okay, all done, haha."

"What's wrong? Have you eaten?" Upon seeing this, Mrs. Shen quickly asked.

Mrs. Shen thought to herself, "This is nothing! They've only just started eating, how come they're already full?"

"Yes, that's right." Li Lili nodded cautiously when she saw the surprised expression on Shen's mother's face.

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

"Eat some more, eat some more, this is just the beginning." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen immediately spoke to Li Lili in a very serious tone.

Chapter 745 United Front

Mrs. Shen thought to herself, "It's only been a short time since we last met, and Li Lili's appetite has shrunk so much? If that's true, then it's really terrible!"

However, at this moment, Li Lili listened to what Shen's mother said and continued eating her dinner. But Li Lili's eating speed really slowed down at this time.

Then, Shen's mother began to eat, bit by bit, as if she were eating something difficult to swallow.

Then, Shen's mother watched Li Lili eat helplessly, and was speechless at Li Lili's behavior, so she shook her head and said nothing more.

"Sigh, I really have no choice but to speak up." Looking at Li Lili, Shen's mother finally spoke up.

"What's wrong?" Li Lili didn't quite understand what Shen's mother was feeling helpless about, so she asked again.

Shen's mother looked at Li Lili very seriously and said, "What do you think? I went through so much trouble to cook this meal, and you were just so touched, but now you don't want to eat it. You have to think about how little you've eaten yet. How can I not feel helpless?"

"Mom, why do I feel like you've become so sentimental?" Li Lili said immediately, noticing Shen's mother's reaction. What Li Lili said was indeed what she truly felt.

"Um... I don't know how to respond to what you just said," Mrs. Shen said somewhat awkwardly.

However, at that moment, Li Lili quickly said, "Okay, I understand. I'll eat some more."

“If you really don’t want to eat it, then forget it. I don’t really care,” Mrs. Shen quickly said.

"Sigh, I know, I know, don't be upset." Li Lili quickly said at this moment.

Then, after saying that, Li Lili immediately said, "Okay, don't be angry anymore, I'll eat right away."

"I'm not angry, I'm just a little disappointed. Don't think too much about it. If you really can't eat, then don't," Mrs. Shen said with a smile.
