"If you can't hear me, then don't listen. I've never actually seen you watching TV dramas. What's wrong? Why do you want to watch TV dramas again today?" Mrs. Chen asked with a look of disdain.

However, Mr. Chen was very dissatisfied with Mrs. Chen's reaction.

"What's wrong? You've started watching TV dramas again. I've watched them before, but there haven't been any good ones lately. I just haven't had time to watch them. Besides, what's with that expression on your face?" Mr. Chen asked Mrs. Chen very seriously.

However, at this moment, Chen's mother spoke up calmly and continued, "Oh, I thought you weren't interested in TV dramas, but it seems I misunderstood you."

"Yes, you've misunderstood me. What's wrong? Should we apologize?" Mr. Chen continued to ask.

After hearing what Mr. Chen said, Mrs. Chen was immediately filled with anger. Apologize? What's the big deal? Why should he apologize?

The more Chen's mother thought about it, the angrier she became, and finally she couldn't hold back any longer and asked the question.

"Aren't you overthinking this?" Just then, Chen's mother asked with a smile.

"Huh? What do you mean you're overthinking it? No, you're not. Are you overthinking it?" Mr. Chen replied immediately upon seeing this.

"Alright, alright, I don't want to argue with you anymore. Let's leave it at that. You can continue watching your movie. Pretend I didn't say anything or ask anything." Then, seeing Chen's mother, he continued.

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Li Lili quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere, saying, "Hmm, come and see, something might be about to happen. Look, even the background music has changed."

Li Lili pointed to the television screen and began to speak with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother was seen standing to the side, and she continued to ask, "Um, it seems so. What happened? Did something unexpected just now?"

"Nothing unexpected has started yet, but I feel like it's about to begin," Li Lili said with great surprise.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen shifted her focus to the TV series. Mr. Chen, standing beside her, sighed softly, thinking that it was finally over.

Then, seeing Mr. Chen in her heart, she felt fortunate.

Just then, Li Lili quickly smiled and said, "Coming, coming..."

And so, Mr. and Mrs. Chen, along with Li Lili and the others, spent almost the entire afternoon watching TV dramas in the living room. This scene continued until Chen Ling returned home from work.

When Chen Ling returned home from work, he was quite shocked to see such a harmonious scene after entering the house.

Then, noticing Li Lili standing to the side, he quickly asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Seeing Chen Ling's shock, Li Lili immediately asked him the question.

"Oh, it's nothing, nothing at all. I was just a little surprised to see you all in such harmony. You've really never seen anything like this before, it's truly a rare sight." Chen Ling then spoke up excitedly.

"Oh, really? Then you can watch it a few more times in the future." After hearing what Chen Ling said, Chen's mother replied calmly.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ling immediately smiled and said, "Then it still depends on you. Let's see if you can show me what you're capable of doing again."

Chen Ling's statement was entirely accurate; it was indeed the case. Of course, whether Chen Ling could see it depended on the person involved. Therefore, Chen Ling was very straightforward and stated it directly.

After hearing this, Chen's mother could only nod and smile, saying, "Hmm, what you said seems to make a lot of sense. It seems that the decision is in our hands; it depends on what we think."

Just then, after finishing her speech, Mrs. Chen glanced at the reactions of the others around her. Then, she immediately started laughing again.

"Haha, yes, you're absolutely right. Haha," Chen Ling continued.

Then, Chen's father quickly smiled at Chen Ling and said, "Let's not chat there anymore. Come and sit down for a while and rest."

"Okay, Dad, it's always my dad who cares about me and knows to let me rest. Look at these two women, neither of them has bothered with this matter." Chen Ling immediately said with a smile.

Just then, as soon as Chen Ling uttered those words, Chen's mother quickly replied in a sour tone, "Haha, if that's really what you think, then forget it. I have nothing more to say."

"Look at my mom, she's too lazy to even explain herself anymore. I don't know how her temper has become like this." Chen Ling looked at his mother and spoke very seriously.

Then, Chen's mother looked at Chen Ling and replied very seriously, "Ah, you should really ask your father about this. It's all because your father spoiled me."

"Well, okay, if that's how you see it, then I don't think I have any good ideas. There's nothing I can say to you. Well, you're spoiled by someone." Chen Ling replied with a smile.

"So, this lesson from the past is to tell you that you need to be mindful of your actions. Just like your father, you need to know that your woman needs to be cherished and pampered. Do you understand?" Chen's mother asked Chen Ling.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling immediately burst into laughter, then quickly turned to his mother and said with a smile, "Haha, isn't this plot twist a bit too much? I thought you were going to criticize me, but why are you saying this to me again? Really, I just thought you were reminding me not to spoil Ningxue like you, but I didn't expect you to say something like that to me."

Chen Ling was extremely surprised after hearing what his mother said.

Seeing Chen Ling's surprised expression, Chen's mother couldn't help but laugh. Then, she immediately said with a smile, "What's wrong? Is this not allowed? Why would you think that? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Would I say something like that? Really, you don't understand me at all!"

"No way, I didn't think that much about it at all. I just felt that your tone changed quite a bit." Chen Ling continued.

Chen Ling truly felt that way in his heart.

Just then, Chen's mother smiled and replied, "You're overthinking it, aren't you? I didn't mean that."

"Haha, that's right, silly son. Even if your mother really had that thought, she wouldn't say it to you like that in front of Xiaoxue. Don't you think so?" Then, seeing Chen's father, she quickly spoke up with a smile to Chen Ling.

At this moment, Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah, if you put it that way, it does seem to be true." Chen Ling said with a smile, while looking at Li Lili beside him.

However, at this moment, Li Lili said calmly, "Are you sure you want to say this in front of me?"

"Haha, now that you ask, we really feel embarrassed," Mrs. Chen replied with a smile.

As soon as Mrs. Chen finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but start laughing.

Then Li Lili immediately spoke up, saying, "How about I excuse myself? You guys give Chen Ling a political lesson and see how that goes."

"Haha, although I think this idea is pretty good, let's think about it and forget it. Let's not do it, otherwise you'll be in a lot of despair." Chen Ling said to Li Lili with a smile after hearing this.

Seeing Chen Ling speaking so gently, Chen's mother quickly smiled and said, "Hmm, if you put it that way, it really is true. But it's alright, we won't say anything."

"How come after listening to all this, I've become an outsider again?" Then, seeing Li Lili, he continued.

Just then, after finishing her speech, Li Lili looked down at her phone. She simply wanted to check the time; she didn't mean anything by it.

However, Chen Ling and the others mistakenly thought that Li Lili was angry. So they immediately became nervous.

However, Chen Ling immediately began to comfort her, saying, "How could that be? What is your status in our family? Don't you know? You're even higher than me. How can you say you're an outsider? If you're an outsider, what am I supposed to do?"

“If that’s how you put it, then I think I can understand a little bit,” Li Lili said with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother, who was standing to the side, quickly said with a smile, "Yes, why would you think that? You're really overthinking it. Look at Chen Ling, how much I usually dislike him. I was just making a joke just now. And I didn't say anything. Please don't misunderstand. I value you even more than Chen Ling."

Chen's mother nervously began to explain to Li Lili, afraid that Li Lili might misunderstand something.

Then they saw Li Lili looking at Chen's mother and Chen Ling with a confused expression, and then she couldn't help but start laughing again.

"What's wrong? I haven't even said anything yet, why are you all so nervous?" Chen Ling said to his mother with a smile.

Just then, Li Lili spoke up again, saying, "Haha, really, how funny!"

"Oh, we were just worried you'd misunderstand, weren't we? Seriously, so you're perfectly fine?" Chen Ling then said to Li Lili with a helpless expression.

Chapter 1093 The Beginning is Always the Hardest Part 3

After Chen Ling finished speaking, Li Lili immediately started laughing.

Then Li Lili continued, "Um, um, I'm fine. What else could be wrong? You're overthinking it. Why are you so nervous? Do you think I'm that petty? This just shows you don't understand me at all. Am I such a petty person?"

“Hmm, now that you mention it, I think that makes sense. It does seem to be true. How could you be such a petty person? We were just too nervous and overthinking things.” At this moment, Mrs. Chen quickly added with a smile.

After Chen's mother finished speaking, she started laughing again.

Seeing Chen's mother's expression, Li Lili asked, "What's wrong? Do you know now that you misunderstood me?"

"Yes, that's right. I know now, and it's good that it's not like this, haha. I also know your place in our hearts, right?" Mrs. Chen spoke up again at this moment.

However, at that moment, Li Lili smiled and said, "Well, what you say makes a lot of sense. Haha, I guess I've turned misfortune into blessing."

"Hey, ma'am, please watch your words. This isn't a case of turning misfortune into blessing, after all, there was no misfortune, uh, there was no reason at all, and you just received a blessing. Right?" Then, seeing Chen Ling standing to the side, she quickly spoke up to refute Li Lili.

Just then, Li Lili smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. You don't need to worry about it. I understand, don't worry. I won't think about it anymore, okay?"

"That would be perfect!" Then, upon seeing Chen Ling, he immediately smiled and said.

However, at that moment, Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh after finishing his sentence.

"Haha, okay, let's say that then. By the way, Mom, did you cook lunch today?" Chen Ling asked his mother at this moment.

As Chen Ling spoke, he kept glancing at his mother.

"Yes, that's true, you could say that. That's definitely how it is. What's wrong? Do you have any thoughts on it?" Chen's mother asked Chen Ling.

Upon hearing his mother's question, Chen Ling immediately nodded, then quickly added with a smile, "Haha, yes, what's wrong? Can't I have my own thoughts?"

"Well, it's not that serious. What are your thoughts? Just tell me directly. What's wrong? Do you want to eat it?" Mrs. Chen said casually.

"Yeah, you always say you understand me, and you really do, haha. How about it? Are you in for a treat?" Chen Ling replied with a grin.

"Haha, you're so looking forward to it, I don't know how to refuse you. You'll miss out, you'll miss out." Chen's mother looked at Chen Ling and said with a very embarrassed smile.

Hearing this, Chen Ling felt incredibly incredulous. This really made him doubt whether he was even her biological son, and why his mother was treating him like this.

Then Chen Ling spoke up again with a smile, saying, "Haha, I really don't know what to do with this. It's so embarrassing. I'm so unlucky. Everyone else is eating, but I haven't had any. Please, please help me overcome this psychological trauma."

"Haha, alright then, just pretend I didn't say anything," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Just then, Mr. Chen smiled and said, "If you really want to eat this and don't mind leftovers, you can reheat some of the food we didn't finish at lunch and eat it tonight. What do you think?"

"Um, I don't think that's a good idea. What do you think?" Chen Ling said with a smile.

Then, Chen's mother smiled and said, "Haha, I think this method is quite good. What's wrong? Aren't you satisfied?"

"I'm not satisfied. You all ate very well, and I'm left to eat your leftovers. I feel really resentful. Oh my god, it's really upsetting to think about it," Chen Ling said helplessly.

At this moment, Chen Ling was so sad that he could hardly bear it. Apart from feeling helpless, he really had no other thoughts.

Then she saw Chen's mother standing to the side and quickly said with a smile, "Haha, how can a grown man like you be so delicate? What's wrong with a little leftovers? Is it too much trouble for you?"

"Yes, that's really putting me in a difficult position. I don't want to eat what you left over from lunch today. It's just that I feel really unfair. You all ate so well, and I'm eating your leftovers? No, no, just thinking about it makes me sad. Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You guys figure it out." Then, seeing Chen Ling standing to the side, she quickly said with a smile.

At this moment, Chen's mother calmly replied, "If you're asking us to handle it, then we'll say it again: you can have the leftovers yourself."

"Why? Can't you make me something to eat? That would make me feel a little better." Just then, she saw Chen Ling standing to the side and quickly said with a smile.

As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, he saw his mother standing to the side and immediately retorted, "Then you really won't have the chance to eat this. I have no such intention. You decide for yourself, eat if you want, and forget about it if you don't."

"Uh, okay, then I'll pass. I'll save face instead of eating the steamed bun," Chen Ling replied stubbornly.

Then, Chen's mother spoke up with a smile and said, "Then it's up to you."

However, at this moment, Chen Ling asked, somewhat unwilling to give up, "Can't you make me a little more?"

"Don't you know that everything is difficult at the beginning? Actually, cooking is really nothing, but I just don't want to do it, you know? I just don't have the motivation to start," Chen's mother said helplessly.
