"Then let Chen Ling take you home. It's not safe tonight." At this moment, Chen's mother pulled Chen Ling over with one hand, and then immediately said to Shen's mother.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen quickly shook her head and said, "There's really no need for that. It's already quite late, and it will be even later if he comes back later. It's very convenient to take a taxi now. I can just take one home. There's no need for you to come and see me off. It's too much trouble."

While speaking, Shen's mother tugged at Li Lili's arm, signaling Li Lili to say a few words in her defense.

Chapter 1001 The Greatest Wish 2

When Li Lili saw Shen's mother tug at her arm tightly, she instantly understood what Shen's mother's purpose was. So Li Lili prepared to speak up and help Shen's mother.

Then Li Lili smiled and said, "Well, it seems quite late. Chen Ling has to go to work tomorrow, and it's really troublesome if things get complicated. He'll be back late too. It's okay, let my mom take a taxi home first. If anything happens on the way, she can call us. Is that alright?"

"But, but when we get home tonight..." Chen's mother immediately said after hearing this.

However, at that moment, Shen's mother quickly interrupted Chen's mother and said with a smile, "Oh dear, there's really no problem. I'm an adult, what danger could I possibly encounter? You're just worrying too much, you know? You're too nervous. There's absolutely no problem."

"Oh, alright then, we won't take you back." Seeing this, Mrs. Chen had no choice but to agree.

"Yes, sure. No need to see me off," Mrs. Shen said with a smile.

Mrs. Shen had initially felt that if she really had to go see her off, she wouldn't have any other choice. However, it had to be said that going would be quite late and too much trouble. So, when Mrs. Chen changed her mind, Mrs. Shen was overjoyed.

However, for Chen's mother, she always felt a little guilty about letting Shen's mother go home alone so late.

Just then, Chen's mother spoke up with great reluctance, "Well, well, you really have to go back by yourself, right? You must be careful on the way. If there's any emergency, call us immediately, okay?"

"I'm a grown woman now, not a girl in her twenties or thirties anymore. Why are you so nervous? Alright, alright. I'm going back now," Mrs. Shen said with a smile.

Then he saw Chen's mother nod, and immediately stood up as well.

"Then I'll walk you downstairs," Mrs. Chen said reluctantly.

Seeing Chen's mother's reaction, Li Lili couldn't help but chuckle quietly. She was starting to think that Chen's mother's reaction was even stronger than her own.

"What's wrong? What are you secretly laughing about?" Chen Ling noticed this little detail about Li Lili, so he immediately asked.

However, at that moment, Li Lili smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just genuinely happy for them seeing how good their relationship is now. Look how great it is! Don't you think so?"

"Yes, that's right. Like sisters." Chen Ling replied softly.

"They were still saying today that they're best friends now, they've really been promoted to best friends," Li Lili said seriously after hearing this.

Upon hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Ling immediately burst into laughter. He himself didn't know where this laughter came from.

"What are you two talking about?" Mrs. Chen asked with a smile.

"Oh, Mom didn't say anything. What's wrong?" Chen Ling replied immediately after hearing this.

Then, Chen's mother smiled and said, "Okay, shall we go downstairs?"

"Mom, are you going back now? Right?" After hearing what Chen's mother said, Li Lili immediately turned to Shen's mother and asked.

"Yes, it's quite late, let's go." Seeing this, Mrs. Shen immediately said with a smile.

Then Mrs. Chen and her family all came downstairs...

"Oh, you've all come down. I feel a little embarrassed." Just then, after seeing the Chen family members come out, Mrs. Shen immediately spoke up.

"What's wrong with that? Isn't this what we should do? You're going back now, so of course we'll take you back. It would be really inappropriate if you didn't go down." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

However, at that moment, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "Haha, why are we all being so polite to each other? It's nothing. It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

“Yes, Xiaoxue is absolutely right. These are all minor matters. Let’s not worry about them so much,” Chen’s mother immediately said after hearing this.

They quickly reached the bottom of the stairs, and Chen Ling immediately started stopping cars for Shen's mother...

"Ningxue, remember what Mom told you. Mom's biggest wish is for you to be happy." Just then, Shen's mother, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up and said to Li Lili with a smile.

Ms. Shen was walking with Li Lili, and she had deliberately lowered her voice a little when she spoke. So, Ms. Shen intentionally kept her voice down, not wanting them to notice.

At this moment, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, suddenly heard what Shen's mother said again, so she immediately turned to look at Shen's mother and said with a smile, "I understand, thank you, Mom."

"The car is here," Chen Ling suddenly announced loudly at this moment.

"Mom, you should hurry up and leave." Li Lili immediately said to Shen's mother after hearing this.

"Oh, okay then, I'm off." Just then, Shen's mother waved to Li Lili and prepared to leave.

After saying goodbye to Li Lili, Shen's mother said loudly, "Then I'll head back now."

"Okay, be careful on the road. Come visit often when you have time." Upon hearing this, Chen's mother immediately said with a smile.

“Yes, yes, come over and play when you’re free, it’s very close by,” Mr. Chen added.

However, at that moment, they saw Shen's mother nodding vigorously in agreement.

"Goodbye," said Mrs. Chen and the others, waving goodbye.

Then, Mrs. Shen got into the car and prepared to leave.

After watching Mrs. Shen's car slowly disappear from sight, Li Lili and her group turned around and started walking back home...

However, at that moment, they saw Chen's mother and the others walking slowly, chatting and laughing.

"It's been so long since I've been this happy," said Mrs. Chen first.

"I didn't expect that my mom's visit would make you so happy. That's great!" Li Lili said with a smile after hearing this.

Li Lili really didn't expect that the two of them would get along so well today, so she immediately blurted it out.

"Tch, don't tell me you didn't think of that, even I didn't expect it. Isn't that terrifying?" Mrs. Chen replied with great surprise after hearing this.

"Isn't it great that you get along well? How could you say it's scary? I think you're the scary one," Mr. Chen said with a smile after hearing this.

But at that moment, Li Lili smiled and said, "How can you be so cute, Dad? You're so funny!"

"Oh, really? Haha." Mr. Chen was a little embarrassed when he saw this.

"Tch, what's wrong? You think I'm scary? I think you're the scary one. I don't even want to talk to you anymore. It's pointless," Chen's mother replied, pouting.

"Mom, if you keep saying this, I'll have to talk to you. Aren't you going too far? You've forgotten your old love with a new one. How can you think Dad's no fun anymore? Dad is such a good man. Don't you think so, Dad?" Chen Ling, who seemed to enjoy the show, spoke up with a smile.

"This has nothing to do with you, so just shut up and stop talking nonsense, or you'll annoy us both." Mrs. Chen said speechlessly from the side.

"Tch, so you're still blaming me? I was just trying to say something fair. Why are you all getting so worked up? Honestly." Just then, Chen Ling spread his hands, looking completely clueless, and replied.

"Come on, what are you thinking? Do you think I don't know? Alright, shut up and stop adding fuel to the fire." Then, Mrs. Chen continued, her face stubborn.

However, at that moment, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "Haha, Mom, calm down."

"Okay, sure. Let me calm down, calm down." Then, Chen's mother said with a smile.

However, Chen Ling quickly glanced at his father secretly, and then blinked at him...

After exchanging glances, Chen's father and Chen Ling returned each other's gaze. Then they exchanged a knowing smile...

"Alright, you two? Have you said everything you needed to say?" Mrs. Chen, with her keen eyes and ears, had seen through Mr. Chen and Chen Ling's little actions as if by magic, and spoke calmly.

After hearing this, Chen Ling was even a little confused, because he was sure that his mother hadn't seen him exchanging glances with his father. So how did Chen Ling know? Chen Ling just couldn't figure it out.

However, at this moment, Chen Ling asked, "Mom, what do you mean? I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Stop pretending with me. What don't you understand? You know everything perfectly well, don't you? Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on. Open the door." Then, Chen's mother spoke with her usual calm expression.

Seeing his mother's state, Chen Ling suddenly didn't know what to say to her. So he simply nodded and remained silent.

However, at that moment, Li Lili smiled and said, "Open the door."

Seeing Chen Ling's stunned expression, Li Lili spoke softly again.

Hearing this, Chen's mother immediately laughed and then said, "I wonder what you're thinking about right now. Why are you so slow to react?"

"Mom, watch your mouth! What do you mean by being slow-witted? I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? You're overthinking it." Chen Ling said, his voice trembling with emotion.

Just then, Chen Ling opened the door, and everyone gradually went inside...

"Wow, home is so much more comfortable. Let me sit down and catch my breath for a bit..." Li Lili walked in and immediately slumped onto the sofa, then immediately started laughing as she spoke.

Seeing this, Chen's mother quickly asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened? Are you so tired?"

"Yes. I'm very tired," Li Lili said weakly.

"Oh no, we didn't walk that far, just a few steps, from home to downstairs and back. We didn't even make you climb any stairs. How come you're so exhausted?" Chen Ling asked immediately, seeing Li Lili panting.

"I don't know either. I just feel really tired and want to rest. What's wrong with my professional tone? You have a problem with that?" Li Lili said somewhat forcefully after hearing this.

"Uh, no, that wouldn't be right. I'm just curious. I don't know what you mean by that. Don't overthink it," Chen Ling said, laughing as he listened.

"Well, okay then, I don't know either. I know we haven't walked many steps, but we're still very tired, right? There's nothing we can do about it, isn't there?" Li Lili said, feeling aggrieved.

Seeing Li Lili's expression, Chen Ling felt she was truly wronged. So he quickly changed his tone and began to comfort her…

“Yes, you’re right, that’s exactly how it is. It has nothing to do with you. You didn’t want to be this exhausted, right? But there’s really no other way. So, sigh, there’s nothing we can do about it.” At this moment, Chen Ling immediately echoed Li Lili’s words.

Just then, Chen Ling finished speaking with a smile and immediately patted Li Lili's hand, signaling her not to be angry.

However, seeing Chen Ling's expression, Li Lili thought that Chen Ling probably didn't mean it, so she forgave him again.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late. You should all go back to your rooms and rest. You all have things to do tomorrow." Just then, Chen's mother reminded them again.

"Yes, it is quite late. We'll head back now," Chen Ling said immediately after hearing this.

Then Chen Ling pulled Li Lili along, preparing to go back to their room.

"Okay. Get some rest." Mr. Chen replied.

After Chen Ling and Li Lili returned to their room, Chen Ling turned into a walking encyclopedia of questions, bombarding Li Lili with them.

"What did Mom just say to you?" Chen Ling asked first.

"Huh? What was that just now? What we said is none of your business. Can't my daughter and I have a chat?" Li Lili then replied domineeringly.

Chen Ling was caught off guard by Li Lili's sudden change in attitude, which made her seem so cold.

"Ah, you really feel that way? It has nothing to do with me?" Chen Ling looked at Li Lili and asked very seriously.

“Of course it is! What relationship do we have? Isn’t this just what we should do? We have to tell you everything we talked about, right?” Li Lili continued in her reply.

Li Lili didn't actually mean anything by it, nor did she mean that Chen Ling and the others couldn't know. It's just that, for some reason, she didn't really want to tell Chen Ling, so over time, she became much more direct in her conversations.
