Seeing that Chen's mother didn't seem very angry, Li Lili was relieved.

Just then, Mr. Chen quickly replied, "Okay, I know. Don't worry, I'll be back right away. I'll be home in a little while."

After hearing what Li Lili said, Mr. Chen immediately checked the time and then quickly began to talk to Li Lili again.

Mr. Chen then quickly hung up the phone, stood up, and prepared to go home.

"Old Li, something's come up at home, I have to head back now." Mr. Chen said hastily as he stood up.

"What's the rush? This game will be over soon." The chess player next to Mr. Chen, upon hearing what Mr. Chen said, quickly chimed in. The man referred to as Old Li was still completely bewildered.

So Mr. Chen explained again, "I really have something to do. Let's play a few more rounds next time. I have to go now. I'm going home now."

Mr. Chen hurriedly left home and started walking back.

Not long after, Mr. Chen was seen rushing home...

"I'm home!" Mr. Chen shouted as he entered the house. He did this to avoid an awkward atmosphere. When Li Lili called him, he already suspected that Mrs. Chen had upset him, which was why Li Lili had called him.

However, at that moment, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, quickly smiled and said, "Dad, you're back! We're all here."

Upon hearing the voice, Li Lili immediately replied.

As Li Lili spoke, she waved to Mr. Chen.

Seeing this, Mr. Chen started walking towards Li Lili and the others. However, he felt a cool breeze blowing against his back, making him feel a chill and a strong sense of discomfort.

"You've started eating?" Mr. Chen asked with a smile as he walked over.

Then, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, started smiling and was about to answer Mr. Chen's question. But before Li Lili could speak, Mr. Chen's mother's voice could be heard.

"Of course, what else can we do? Are we supposed to wait for you? You're really dreaming," Mrs. Chen said, sounding somewhat unhappy.

"Uh, that's not what I meant. I was just asking. Hmm, you've made a very lavish spread today," Mr. Chen said with a smile.

Mr. Chen knew he was in the wrong this time, and as he spoke, he actually felt a little guilty.

"Dad, didn't you notice anything special about these dishes?" Li Lili asked Chen's father again at this moment.

After hearing what Li Lili said, Mr. Chen began to look at the food on the table...

Mr. Chen was then somewhat surprised.

"Oh, you didn't mention it, I really didn't notice. These all seem to be my favorite dishes. Wow, what's going on today? Is it my birthday? No, it's not my birthday today." Mr. Chen said, somewhat agitated.

Seeing Mr. Chen's reaction, Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at him and then said, "Then why don't you wash your hands and come eat?"

Seeing this, Mr. Chen quickly nodded in agreement, then immediately smiled and said, "Oh, okay, okay, I understand. I'll go now."

Chapter 874 Overwhelming Happiness 1

At that moment, Mr. Chen felt incredibly happy, and excitedly began to walk briskly to wash his hands.

"I'll be right there," Mr. Chen said to Mrs. Chen.

At this moment, Li Lili noticed Chen's mother's expression.

Although Mrs. Chen was still pouting and angry, a smile had already appeared in her eyes...

However, at that moment, Li Lili smiled and said, "Mom, Dad had something to do, so he didn't come back. You're not angry with him anymore, are you?"

After hearing what Li Lili said, Chen's mother first snorted at Li Lili, and then said indifferently, "Heh, you believe everything he says? What could he possibly be doing on a rainy day? He's just playing with his friends and lost track of time."

"Anyway, Dad's back now, so how are you feeling? Are you still excited?" Li Lili didn't answer what Chen's mother had said, but continued to ask.

"Sigh, I'm not upset anymore. I was just angry with him. Right now, I'm not thinking about anything. I just want to finish this meal quickly, then wash up and go to bed," Mrs. Chen sighed, and then continued.

Mrs. Chen is a typical example of saying one thing and meaning another. As she began to speak, she would occasionally glance at Mr. Chen.

"Okay then," Li Lili replied.

Then I saw Mr. Chen running over in a panic.

"Is today a special day? Why have you prepared so many of my favorite dishes?" Mr. Chen asked as soon as he sat down.

At this moment, Mr. Chen was still thinking that the two of them had actually had a rather unpleasant argument when they left, so how did things turn out like this when they came back?

"It's not a special holiday today. It's just raining. I was in a good mood, so I thought I'd cook a few dishes. It's just a coincidence. I made some of your favorites," Mrs. Chen said casually.

Just then, Mr. Chen, Li Lili, and Aunt Yang, who had heard Mrs. Chen's words, couldn't help but laugh.

"Your excuse is so far-fetched, it's hilarious. Who would believe you if you said something like that?" Li Lili said with a laugh as she looked at Chen's mother.

However, immediately after Li Lili finished speaking, she felt a strong sense of malice rushing towards her. She quickly turned and met Chen's mother's gaze.

“Oh, oh, yes, yes, that’s right. I misspoke. Mom, some people will believe it, because it’s the truth, right?” Li Lili said with a smile.

Li Lili said this not for any other reason than that she felt she really had to stand on Chen's mother's side, otherwise, Chen's mother's gaze felt like it could kill her at any moment.

"That's more like it." Chen's mother looked at Li Lili and spoke without any hesitation.

At this moment, Li Lili finally felt relieved...

"Isn't this a bit too funny? Oh, you finally managed to cook so much delicious food to treat me? Is there something you want to tell me? If you have something to say, just say it, so I can eat in peace." Mr. Chen looked at Mrs. Chen and spoke very seriously.

"It's nothing, you should just eat your meal. But whether you can eat well or not, do you think it has anything to do with me? I don't want to interfere in your affairs. If you want to eat, then eat; if you don't want to eat, then don't," Mrs. Chen replied calmly.

"I don't know how to respond to what you just said. Why do I feel like your attitude towards me has changed a bit?" Mr. Chen asked curiously from the side.

"Hmm." Chen's mother didn't say anything, she just nodded.

At this moment, Mr. Chen understood perfectly well that this meal must have been specially prepared for him by Mrs. Chen, but why was Mrs. Chen's attitude so different now? It was quite a contrast.

So the more Mr. Chen thought about it, the less he understood...

"It's alright, it's alright, let's eat properly first, eating is the most important thing. Let's eat quickly, Mom and Dad, Aunt Yang." Li Lili quickly said to ease the atmosphere.

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and eat, hurry up and eat." Aunt Yang said quickly when she saw this.

However, at that moment, Aunt Yang suddenly remembered a hint Li Lili had given her. They had agreed to leave together. So Aunt Yang started glancing at Li Lili from time to time.

Seeing that Li Lili was eating faster, Aunt Yang immediately started to speed up her eating as well. Soon after, Li Lili finished her meal…

After seeing Li Lili stop, Aunt Yang also stopped...

"Mom and Dad, I'm done eating. You can continue eating. I'm going back to my room now," Li Lili said with a smile as she looked up.

"Oh? You finished eating so quickly? Are you done eating?" Chen's mother asked immediately after hearing this.

Mr. Chen, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "That's right. Have you eaten yet?"

"Mmm, I'm full," Li Lili said with a smile.

Then I saw Li Lili push the stool back a little, then stand up and start preparing to go back...

Seeing this, Aunt Yang immediately spoke up with a smile, saying, "I've finished eating too. There's still one chore I haven't done yet. I'll go do it now, so I don't forget about it later."

"What kind of work is it? Is it in such a hurry? Why don't you do it later?" Chen's mother asked immediately after hearing this.

Mrs. Chen thought to herself, "If they all leave, the atmosphere will be so uncomfortable."

At this moment, Mr. Chen, who was standing to the side, suddenly seemed to understand something. He hadn't thought of it when Li Lili said she was done eating and wanted to go home, but now that he saw Aunt Yang also anxiously preparing to leave, he instantly understood.

"Yes, I'm in a hurry. I've finished eating, so let's go check now. No rush, you guys eat first, and I'll come back to clean up after you're done." Aunt Yang said with a smile.

Chapter 875 Overwhelming Happiness 2

Just then, after finishing her speech, Aunt Yang quickly left the scene. She was worried that if she said anything more, she might have let something slip.

So after Li Lili and Aunt Yang left, only Mr. and Mrs. Chen were left at the table.

Mr. Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw Mrs. Chen's expression...

"What are you laughing at?" Chen's mother asked impatiently when she saw this.

"I'm laughing at how beautiful my wife is," Mr. Chen said with a gentle smile, looking at Mrs. Chen.

Just then, Chen's mother was also amused by what Chen's father had said. She tried hard to suppress her laughter and speak to him, but she couldn't hold it in...

"What are you saying? That's hilarious," Mrs. Chen said with a smile, looking at Mr. Chen.

Seeing Chen's mother's expression, Mr. Chen knew she wasn't so angry anymore. So he quickly pressed his advantage, saying, "What else could it be? Of course, nothing. Just tell the truth."

"Oh, alright then, you don't need to praise me like that or anything. Just tell me what you want to say, okay?" Mrs. Chen was overjoyed to hear this, but she remained calm on the surface.

Seeing this, Chen's parents couldn't help but smile and say, "Okay, fine."

When Chen's mother saw that Chen's father had simply replied with just two words, she felt a little angry.

"What do you mean by this? Are you kidding me?" Mrs. Chen asked Mr. Chen angrily.

Seeing this, Mr. Chen was completely bewildered again. He wondered, "What's going on this time? Why are they so agitated?"

Mr. Chen, who was standing nearby, quickly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just a little angry," Mrs. Chen replied calmly.

Just then, Mr. Chen smiled and explained, "I was just thinking about how to talk to you next when you said something like that, which completely baffled me. Isn't that scary?"

"Haha, scary? Then you're the one who's truly terrifying. You actually used that word on me." Seeing this, Mrs. Chen said with a laugh.

When Mr. Chen heard this, he didn't know how to explain it either; he felt like he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Thank you so much." Mr. Chen calmed himself down and then began to express his gratitude.

"What's wrong? Why are you thanking me for no reason?" Mrs. Chen put down her chopsticks and asked Mr. Chen.

Then, Mr. Chen, with a smile on his face, continued, "What else could it be? Thank you for the lunch you prepared."

"So what if you didn't come back for dinner? You almost didn't come back." Seeing this, Chen's mother replied calmly.

"How could that be? When have I ever not come home for dinner? I was busy with Lao Li today and lost track of time. I didn't check the time, but after Ningxue called me, I rushed back immediately, didn't I?" Mr. Chen quickly chimed in with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother smiled and said, "If I hadn't called you, would you have missed your mealtime? What use would you be if you came back? We would have finished eating by now."

"Yes, yes, you're right, all the criticism and education are correct. I know I was wrong, okay?" Then, Mr. Chen, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up with a smile.

"Hehe, you should take a break. I don't want to say any more to you. Anyway, I'm very disappointed today." Mrs. Chen said to Mrs. Chen in a very serious tone.

What Mrs. Chen said at this moment couldn't be more true; she was indeed very disappointed today.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen quickly explained, "You've really misunderstood. I certainly wouldn't say I wouldn't come back today. More importantly, I didn't expect you to prepare so many things for me. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, I understand," Mrs. Chen nodded in response.
