"Tch, you two have a normal married relationship, so what's there to be embarrassed about? You're really funny." Upon hearing this, Chen's mother immediately started laughing and saying.

What Mrs. Chen said is absolutely right. They're an old married couple, so what's there to be embarrassed about?

"Uh, yeah, but I don't know why, but listening to you talk about it made me feel a little embarrassed. Haha." Then Li Lili, who was standing next to her, replied with a smile.

Actually, Li Lili knew in his heart that what Chen's mother said wasn't wrong. I don't know why, but it just sounded awkward to him. That's why he said those things to Chen's mother.

"That means you're taking this too seriously. It's alright, go ahead, I'll wait for you here. Go on with your work," Mrs. Chen said, waving her hand at Li Lili.

Then Li Lili started smiling and said, "Okay, I'll go get busy now."

As soon as Li Lili finished speaking, she immediately stood up and walked towards the refrigerator. Li Lili was thinking of taking out some fruit and cutting it up for Chen Ling.

"Cut some more, I'd like to eat some too." Just then, Chen's mother quickly spoke up with a smile.

Mrs. Chen was thinking of Li Lili. Since she had already gone over to cut things, she might as well let her eat more and prepare some for him too.

"What's wrong? You want some too? Oh, okay then." Li Lili asked with a smile.

Seeing this, Chen's mother sensed that Li Lili seemed somewhat unwilling.

So Mrs. Chen immediately replied with a smile, "Well, if you find it troublesome, then forget it. I don't find it too much to eat either, it's fine."

"No, no, that's not what I meant. Why would I find it troublesome? Wait a moment, I'll bring it to you right away." After hearing what Chen's mother said, Li Lili realized that Chen's mother had misunderstood her, so she hurriedly explained.

"Haha, it's okay, I didn't really want to eat it. If you think it's too much trouble, you don't have to make it for me. I'm serious." Seeing this, Mrs. Chen continued to speak.

Chen's mother thought that Li Lili might be too embarrassed to say it, so she repeated it again.

"Mom, you really overthink it. How could I possibly find cutting fruit troublesome? It's such a simple thing. Just wait there, it'll be ready soon," Li Lili replied with a smile.

Then Li Lili hurriedly started cutting fruit, and first brought a platter to Chen's mother...

"This, weren't you going to send it to Chen Ling? Why did you bring it to me first?" Chen's mother asked in surprise as she saw Li Lili place the fruit platter in front of her.

“Of course I think Mom is more important than him, haha, you eat quickly, I’ll go cut him another plate.” Li Lili, who was standing next to him, immediately replied with a smile.

Looking at Li Lili bustling about, Chen's mother couldn't help but admire her again.

"You look so flustered, I almost feel bad eating it. But think about it, I'll wait for you here. You take it to him first, and we'll eat together after you come out," Chen's mother said with a smile to Li Lili.

However, Li Lili, who was standing nearby, felt that it was a bit much.

"Oh, Mom, you don't need to wait for me, just eat. I'll eat with you after I come out. Why are you waiting for me? You're being so polite. Didn't you just say you wanted to eat? Hurry up and eat, you really don't need to wait for me." Li Lili immediately refused.

Meanwhile, Li Lili was still diligently cutting fruit. She hadn't actually started thinking about eating fruit yet.

"Alright," Li Lili said with a smile.

"Yes, you're done cutting?" Chen's mother asked immediately after hearing this.

So Li Lili answered Chen's mother with "Okay" while putting fruit on the plate. A little while later, Li Lili came out with the fruit platter.

"Mom, I'll take it to him first." Li Lili paused for a moment when she walked into the living room before speaking to Chen's mother.

"Okay, then you can go ahead." After hearing this, Chen's mother immediately turned to look at Li Lili and then spoke with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili immediately headed towards the bedroom, wanting to deliver what she was carrying as quickly as possible...

Chapter 904 The Seal on the Forehead? 2

However, at that moment, Li Lili walked to the bedroom door, knocked on it, and then went inside...

As soon as Li Lili walked in, she saw Chen Ling looking drowsy...

"I cut some fruit for you and brought it over," Li Lili said with a smile, as she slowly walked towards Chen Ling and placed the fruit in front of him.

"Oh? You even brought me fruit. Thank you." Chen Ling said quickly upon seeing this.

"No need to thank me, don't be so polite. What's wrong? You seem a little sleepy. Hey, don't touch your forehead, what's that?" Li Lili was talking to Chen Ling when she suddenly noticed something on his forehead. After looking at it carefully, she confirmed that there was indeed something there, so she asked.

"Huh? Me? What?" Chen Ling asked curiously after hearing this.

Seeing this, Li Lili immediately took out her phone and started snapping photos of Chen Ling. Then she said with a smile, "I don't know how you made this, but it looks pretty good and is quite cute."

"Oh, this? I guess this is what I accidentally pressed on while I was sleeping." Chen Ling took Li Lili's phone, looked at it, and immediately said with a smile.

"Huh? You just took a nap?" Li Lili asked incredulously after hearing this.

"Yeah, I just took a nap. I don't know why, I was busy and suddenly got really sleepy, so I just dozed off for a bit. And look, the sharp corner of my phone... I guess it got damaged because it was lying here." Chen Ling replied casually. Even at the very end, Chen Ling was still pointing at his phone and talking.

Li Lili looked in the direction Chen Ling was pointing, and then immediately burst out laughing.

"Honestly, this bed is so close to you. If you're sleepy, why don't you just lie down and sleep? You can rest for a while before coming back to work," Li Lili said to Chen Ling with a smile.

Actually, what Li Lili said wasn't wrong at all; she was just curious why Chen Ling didn't do that.

"Uh, I don't know either, haha, I guess it's because I'm afraid of wasting time, but actually it seems like time started to be wasted the moment I sat down at the table." Chen Ling said with some regret.

"It's okay. When comparing time and efficiency, it's better to be more efficient. Look, if you're constantly drowsy and your mind isn't clear, how can you work? You know what I mean? So, in order to work better, you should go lie down and rest for a while," Li Lili began to persuade Chen Ling.

At this moment, Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, was also watching Li Lili very seriously as she listened, and then he laughed again...

"Hmm, I think what you said is absolutely right, it makes perfect sense. How about this, you come with me to rest for a while, and then come back with me to sleep for a bit," Chen Ling said with a smile, holding Li Lili's hand.

However, at that moment, Li Lili immediately said in surprise, "What are you talking about? I'm not sleepy, you're the one who's sleepy. Go to sleep by yourself. Ah, I don't want to sleep anymore, I still need to go out. Mom is waiting for me outside."

"Don't worry, even if you don't go out, Mom won't remember anything. She'll understand." Just then, she saw Chen Ling standing to the side and said with a meaningful smile.

“That won’t work either. Mom is still waiting outside for me to have fruit with her. When I was cutting fruit for you, I cut a plate for Mom first, but she insisted on waiting until I went out before eating.” Li Lili continued.

Li Lili thought that if she were to stay up with Chen Ling for another nap, she would find it terrifying. What would her family think? She couldn't do that.

"Oh, then how about I go out and tell Mom that she doesn't need to wait for you, okay?" Chen Ling then suggested.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili immediately shook her head...

"What's so good about it? You should go to sleep and rest a bit more. You'll be busy later. You're just chatting with me here. Don't you think you're wasting enough time?" Li Lili said to Chen Ling, pretending to be stern.

Seeing this, Chen Ling could only pout and think, "Alright then."

"Are you sure you don't want to stay up with me for a little longer? Then I'll just get back to work and stop thinking about it." Chen Ling said to Li Lili, his words tinged with hurt.

"Um, why does what you're saying sound so hurtful? What's wrong? You don't want to sleep?" Li Lili asked in surprise.

Chen Ling, standing to the side, shook his head listlessly, then smiled and said, "Hmm, I guess I won't sleep either. It's okay, I'll just hang in there. Anyway, I can take a nap at noon."

"Alright then, if you don't want to sleep, I won't bother you anymore. I've brought you some fruit, have some snacks to refresh yourself." Just then, Chen Ling saw Li Lili smiling and talking to him.

Li Lili thought to herself, "Since that's what you think, there's nothing I can do."

Seeing this, Chen Ling immediately spoke up with a smile and said, "Well, okay, I'll just eat more fruit to perk myself up, haha."

Then they saw Chen Ling talking while eating the fruit in front of him.

"Wow, it's delicious, it's really sweet!" After taking a bite, Chen Ling immediately exclaimed loudly to Li Lili with an exaggerated expression.

When Chen Ling said "delicious" and "so sweet," it wasn't just about the fruit itself, but more about his inner feeling. Chen Ling felt that Li Lili's actions made him feel sweet inside.

Seeing Chen Ling's reaction, Li Lili was probably content.

"Haha, as long as you like it. You can eat here. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now," Li Lili replied casually.

Chapter 905 Worry

In truth, Li Lili's heart was far calmer at this moment than it appeared on the surface...

Li Lili was worried that her presence would interfere with Chen Ling's work. Besides, she had finished her own tasks, and Chen Ling had eaten the fruit. Seeing how happy Chen Ling was, she felt content.

Then Li Lili turned around, preparing to leave. It's easy to see that all of Li Lili's movements were so light and careful. This clearly shows Li Lili's affection for Chen Ling.

After Li Lili came out, she immediately closed the door and then walked back towards the living room...

However, Mrs. Chen, who was sitting in the living room, had already turned her head to look the moment she heard the door open.

"Why did you take so long to come out?" Chen's mother asked deliberately after Li Lili approached.

Seeing this, Li Lili was momentarily at a loss for words...

"Uh, am I slow? Not really, I just chatted for a bit and came back." Li Lili then spoke again with a smile.

Seeing Li Lili's shy expression, Chen's mother knew exactly what was going on. However, Chen's mother still wanted to test Li Lili further.

"Haha, this isn't just a simple chat, it seems there's more to it than meets the eye. I wonder what's going on between you two. Haha. Oh well, I'm an old woman, I won't concern myself with that." Just then, Mrs. Chen said to Li Lili with a smile.

Originally, Chen's mother thought that once Li Lili went in, she wouldn't come out again, and she could watch Li Lili come out again. She didn't know why, but Chen's mother just wanted to laugh for a while.

"I don't know what you're so happy about. Haha. What's it to you? What happened? Things aren't that simple. What else do you want?" Li Lili asked with a smile as she looked at Chen's mother.

After hearing this, Chen's mother felt that there was some truth to it, so she nodded and said nothing more.

"Then hurry up and eat some fruit with me, I've been waiting for you for so long." After a while, Chen's mother said with a smile.

Mrs. Chen had indeed been waiting outside for Li Lili for a long time. Although she wasn't sure if Li Lili would come out, Mrs. Chen kept her promise and waited there for Li Lili to come back so they could eat fruit together.

"Mom, if I hadn't come back, would you still want some of this fruit?" Li Lili asked, looking at Chen's mother.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen smiled at first, and then began to think...

"Eat or not eat? Of course, eat. Otherwise, we can't just waste it. Of course, I believe you'll still come out, right?" Mrs. Chen replied with a smile.

Hearing Chen's mother's words, Li Lili, who was standing nearby, felt very happy. For some reason, Li Lili also felt like laughing.

"Haha, you know me pretty well." Then Li Lili was seen smiling and talking to Chen's mother.

However, at that very moment, after hearing what Li Lili said, Chen's mother replied without hesitation, "Haha, you're only just realizing that? I knew it a long time ago. I know you very well, I see right through you. Haha."

"Really? I didn't notice anything. How scary!" Li Lili exclaimed immediately after hearing this.

After hearing Li Lili's words, Chen's mother was somewhat confused. She began to wonder what Li Lili meant by "fear."

Then Chen's mother smiled and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean. What exactly do you mean by 'afraid'? What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you know me so well, you've seen right through me! It's scary. I feel like I'm invisible, you know everything," Li Lili explained.

In fact, that was exactly what Li Lili meant. She was a little worried about what Chen's mother had said, worried that Chen's mother really saw through her. Li Lili felt a little uncomfortable with this feeling.

"Tch, what's the big deal? Women understand women better, right? I think it's pretty normal, don't you think? Anyway, I'm thinking that we can discuss things together, since there are only the two of us women in this family." At this moment, Chen's mother began to speak earnestly.

Then Li Lili smiled and replied, "Mom, I feel like you've changed a bit. Why are you always talking to me about taking sides? It's so strange."

"Oh? Really? Maybe you really want to join forces with me. Haha. It's okay, I was just saying." Then Li Lili was seen laughing and talking beside her.

Just then, Li Lili smiled and said, "Oh, right, there's something else I haven't told you yet."
