My buildings have attributes

"Alright then, if that's really how you feel, then I have nothing to say. Whatever makes you happy. I have nothing more to say," Chen Ling replied calmly.

Then he saw Li Lili standing to the side, smiling and saying, "Ah, yes. Right, then this is fine."

“Yes, that’s good. But I don’t know what kind of relationship we have. We even have secrets.” Chen Ling continued from the side.

However, at that moment, Li Lili looked at Chen Ling, who was speaking like that, and felt that it was very strange.

So Li Lili quickly said, "It's really strange of you to say that. How can you say that? Right? Even couples have their own privacy, and there are things they can't tell each other. I hope you can understand that."

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry. I didn't mean anything by it," Chen Ling said with a smile.

However, Chen Ling's smile wasn't as simple as it seemed; it was more of a bitter smile...

"I don't know why this is. It always feels so strange. The two of us are just arguing and fighting back and forth like this. Is this really a good thing?" Chen Ling said helplessly.

Then Li Lili gave a cold laugh and said indifferently, "Come on, what's the big deal? You were already very happy today and told everyone, right? I think you're quite happy. A little quarrel is good for the soul."

"That's all your logic, and I can't argue with you. Whatever." Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, shook his head helplessly after hearing this.

However, at this moment, Li Lili laughed first, and then said, "Well, you said that first, so how can you blame me? You can't blame me."

"Tch, give me a break. I don't want to tell you that much," Chen Ling replied indifferently.

Looking at Chen Ling's expression, Li Lili couldn't help but laugh again.

"Alright, let's go to sleep." After a while, Li Lili said with a smile.

And just like that, Chen Ling and Li Lili were getting ready for bed. Early to bed and early to rise, adjusting their sleep schedule—that was the most important thing for them to do right now.

Just then, Li Lili was seen smiling as she drifted off to sleep...

Not to be outdone, Chen Ling fell asleep so quickly. A short while later, he and Li Lili met again in their dreams.

The next day came quickly. As usual, Chen Ling ate breakfast and immediately went to work.

As always, Mr. Chen started playing chess with his neighbors and friends to pass the time.

However, at that very moment, Chen's mother and Li Lili were watching TV in the living room, and also playing with Qingqing...

Then, around noon, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"I'll go open the door." Just as Mrs. Chen was about to stand up and go open the door, Aunt Yang came over and said to Mrs. Chen.

Aunt Yang walked to the door and opened it directly.

"You..." Aunt Yang wanted to ask who the people outside were looking for. But after seeing who it was, she didn't say anything more.

Inside, Chen's mother, who was watching a TV series, immediately asked after Aunt Yang fell silent, "Sister Yang, who is that?"

"Xiaoqi and the others are back." Aunt Yang turned around and answered as soon as she heard this.

Aunt Yang then quickly said to Chen Xiaoqi, "Come in quickly, don't just stand there."

"Mmm," Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

Then Chen Xiaoqi and Li Ran, carrying large and small bags, slowly walked in.

When Chen's mother first heard that Chen Xiaoqi and his family had returned, she was overjoyed. However, upon recalling the posts they had made on social media, a pang of jealousy rose within her. So she fell silent and sat solemnly in the living room, continuing to watch her TV series.

Seeing Chen's mother's reaction, Li Lili didn't know what to say. Li Lili knew what Chen's mother was thinking, but she just couldn't think of a way to persuade her.

Just then, Chen Xiaoqi and Li Ran arrived at the edge of the living room. Seeing that Chen's mother didn't seem inclined to speak first, Li Lili grew anxious. She thought to herself, "It's one thing for Mom not to speak, but why aren't the two of them saying anything either?"

With no other options, Li Lili had no choice but to break the silence first.

"Xiaoqi, Li Ran, why are you back so soon? We thought you were going to stay there for a few more days," Li Lili asked with a smile.

"Hehe. I was in a bit of a rush when I left, and I hadn't taken care of things at home, so I was a little worried and came back early," Chen Xiaoqi explained with a smile.

"Hmm, I see. By the way, what are all these things you brought? Local specialties?" Li Lili continued to ask.

“Yes, I brought these back especially for you. You can try them later; they’re all some great local specialties,” Li Ran quickly added from the side.

"Please sit down, why are you still standing there? Please sit down," Li Lili said with a smile.

When Li Lili spoke again, she turned to look at Chen's mother's expression, wondering what she would say.

"Mom, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything to me?" Chen Xiaoqi asked quickly, noticing her mother's unusual reaction.

"It's nothing. It's alright," Mrs. Chen replied indifferently.

However, at that moment, Chen Xiaoqi gently said "Oh," and then smiled and said, "Qingqing, did you miss Mommy? Mommy is back. Let's give each other a hug."

"Mom." After hearing this, Qingqing looked up at Chen's mother and then called out with a smile.

During this time when Qingqing was calling for Chen Mama, she was also reluctant to put down her toys...

"Mommy, hug me." Chen Xiaoqi then quickly opened her arms and hugged Qingqing.

Just then, Qingqing suddenly pouted, as if to indicate that she hadn't seen Chen Xiaoqi's dissatisfaction in the past few days.

"What's wrong? Are you angry with Mommy? Did Mommy go out to play without you? Next time Mommy goes out, I'll take you with me, okay?" Chen Xiaoqi continued.

Hearing what Chen Xiaoqi said to Qingqing, Chen's mother became even angrier. Her face suddenly darkened...

"Mom, would you like to try some of the things we brought?" Li Ran asked Chen's mother at this moment.

"No need, I don't have that kind of luck," Mrs. Chen replied calmly.

After hearing what Chen's mother said, Li Lili immediately felt a chill run down her spine and didn't know what to say.

However, at this moment, Li Ran asked, somewhat confused, "What's wrong, Mom? Is there some misunderstanding? If there is, just tell us directly, so we'll know why you're unhappy and we can explain it to you."

"That's not necessary, there's nothing to be unhappy about." Mrs. Chen said in a very indifferent tone.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi immediately said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. You don't need to do this. There's no need for it."

"What's wrong? Is this the first thing you do when you get back, to come and interrogate me?" Mrs. Chen said, somewhat annoyed.

"Mom, Mom, calm down," Li Lili said immediately upon seeing the situation.

"It's alright, Xiaoxue, I'm quite calm," Chen's mother replied immediately after hearing Li Lili's words of advice.

“I didn’t mean to say anything to the ten of you. I just think you don’t need to act like this at all. If you really have any complaints, just say them directly. If you don’t say anything, Li Ran and I don’t know what you’re thinking.” At this moment, Chen Xiaoqi spoke up decisively.

Chen Xiaoqi had already guessed what her mother was unhappy about, but since her mother hadn't said it, she didn't want to ask.

"I have no complaints. You've arranged everything perfectly. What could I possibly be dissatisfied with?" Mrs. Chen said sourly.

Just then, Li Lili whispered to Chen Xiaoqi, "Jealous."

Because Li Lili was worried that Chen's mother would hear, she hid behind Chen's mother and began to mouth the words to Chen Xiaoqi in an exaggerated way.

After watching Li Lili's lip movements, Chen Xiaoqi roughly understood what she meant. However, Chen Xiaoqi didn't quite understand what Li Lili meant. "Jealous"? Chen Xiaoqi didn't know what kind of jealousy was involved.

"Mom, it's really our fault for not telling you beforehand. We made the decision on short notice, so it was quite rushed. Of course, we'll call you to let you know we're safe once we get there. That's also our fault. Please don't hold a grudge and be lenient with us." Chen Xiaoqi quickly said with a smile.

Faced with her mother, Chen Xiaoqi couldn't think of any other way but to give in.

"It's fine, you've done nothing wrong, everything's perfect," Mrs. Chen said, her words contradicting her true feelings as she opened the door.

"Tch, come on, I can already smell the sourness. What's wrong with you? Tell me, what's sour about you? Are you angry with us for not taking you out?" Then, seeing Chen Xiaoqi standing to the side, she quickly asked.

"Come on, who cares whether or not you go out to play? You're really overthinking it," Chen's mother retorted immediately after hearing this.

Then Chen Xiaoqi asked, "If you're not angry with us because of this, then I really don't understand why you're upset with us."

Chapter 1005 Not Worth Mentioning

After Chen Xiaoqi finished speaking, she immediately began to carefully observe her mother's reaction, wanting to know how her mother would respond.

Then, Chen's mother glanced at Chen Xiaoqi indifferently and said, "There's nothing else. I don't have the energy to tell you anything."

"Um, okay. If you don't want to talk about it, then do as you please," Chen Xiaoqi said softly from the side.

"Okay, whatever you like then," Mrs. Chen replied immediately after hearing this.

"Alright, alright, you've just gotten back, so let's not keep talking about this. Let's rest for a while. This long journey must be tiring." Just then, Li Lili quickly tried to ease the tension.

Li Lili mainly felt that these things were completely unnecessary.

However, at that moment, Chen Xiaoqi nodded and then sat quietly without saying a word.

However, beneath this calm atmosphere, there was also a rather awkward feeling.

Then Li Lili smiled and said, "By the way, let's watch a TV series."

"Yeah, sure. I haven't watched TV dramas in ages," Chen Xiaoqi replied immediately.

Chen Xiaoqi also sensed the awkwardness, so she quickly smiled and said something.

So Li Lili immediately turned on the TV and started watching a drama...

However, at this moment, Chen's mother said somewhat unhappily, "You guys keep watching, I'm going back to rest for a while."

"Mom, aren't you going to watch it with us? This is one of your favorite shows!" Li Lili immediately turned to Chen's mother and asked.

"No need, I have a bit of a headache, I'd better go back and rest." Then, Chen's mother directly refused.

Mrs. Chen was already a little angry and wanted to avoid the situation, which is why she said that.

"Uh, you have a headache? What's wrong? Is it serious? I'll go with you to see a doctor." Just then, Li Lili hurriedly asked.

When Li Lili heard Chen's mother say that she was not feeling well, she became a little anxious, thinking that Chen's mother was sick.

However, Chen's mother remained calm at this moment.

Then Chen's mother said calmly, "It's alright, I'll go back and rest for a while, just lie down for a bit. You see."

"Really? Mom, okay, you go back and lie down for a while. If anything happens, just let me know, okay?" Li Lili said with a smile as soon as she saw this.

Li Lili was actually a little unhappy when she said that.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother immediately nodded and then walked back to her room.

And so, Mrs. Chen slowly walked back to her room...

After watching her mother return to her room, Chen Xiaoqi couldn't wait to ask Li Lili about the situation. So, Chen Xiaoqi immediately turned to look at Li Lili and began to smile.

"Sister-in-law, tell me what happened, why is Mom angry with me?" Chen Xiaoqi asked.

"Ah, it's that post you made on WeChat Moments," Li Lili replied directly.
