Chapter 1094 A Story Too Long to Tell

After Chen's mother finished speaking, Li Lili couldn't help but laugh. Chen Ling, standing to the side, looked on helplessly.

Then Chen Ling immediately smiled and asked, "Mom, so you've given up on me? I think if it were something your dear Ningxue wanted to eat, wouldn't you be more willing?"

"Uh, yeah, you could say that," Mrs. Chen replied without hesitation.

"Haha, that's great. Mom, you're really good to your daughter-in-law. It really leaves me speechless," Chen Ling said with a laugh.

"Didn't I already tell you this? Xiaoxue came to our house alone. Since she left her own family, of course we have to take good care of her, right?" Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

However, at that moment, Li Lili smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. There's nothing wrong with it. Haha. Mom, you understand me best."

“Of course, as a woman, I know you very well. Hahaha. I understand.” At this moment, Mrs. Chen quickly started to say with a smile.

After speaking, Chen's mother glanced at Chen Ling, then lowered her head again.

"Dad, what about you? As men, what do you want to say to me?" At this moment, Chen Ling turned his attention to his father beside him.

However, upon hearing this, Mr. Chen immediately laughed and then said with a smile, "Ah? Haha, no, I don't have anything to say."

"My goodness, Dad, look at Mom, she's so protective of Ningxue, and you're not even saying a word in my defense?" Chen Ling continued, smiling.

Just then, Mr. Chen said with a smile, "Haha, it seems there really isn't anything. You can take good care of yourself. Is there anything else you want me to say? You agree, right?"

"Okay, Dad, remember what I told you. Don't come looking for me again if anything happens in the future," Chen Ling said to his father with some disappointment.

After hearing Chen Ling speak like that, Mr. Chen suddenly panicked. He realized that he seemed to have something he needed Chen Ling's help with.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother smiled and said, "Haha, wouldn't it be better not to look for her? Just solve it yourself, and everything will be fine."

“You don’t understand. I won’t explain any more to you.” Then, seeing Mr. Chen standing to the side, he continued to speak with a smile.

After speaking, Mr. Chen smiled at Chen Ling again. At this moment, Mr. Chen was thinking about how to ease the conflict with Chen Ling.

Then Chen's mother spoke up with a smile, saying, "Haha, alright, I don't have anything else to say. Let's not say anything then."

"Let's watch TV. Don't make yourself unhappy," Chen Ling said coldly.

However, right after Chen Ling finished speaking, he heard his mother laugh and say, "Haha, you're only just realizing this? You should have stopped looking for unhappiness a long time ago."

"Yeah, I didn't know at first, but I do now," Chen Ling said with a smile.

“It’s not too late for you to know now, it’s alright. Don’t think too much about it, don’t worry about so many things. As long as you know, we’ll know how much we value you,” Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"Oh my god, you're really being inconsiderate with your words!" Mrs. Chen said with a laugh.

“What do you mean I haven’t thought about it? I’ve thought about it a lot, it’s just that you don’t understand.” Then, Mr. Chen said to Mrs. Chen with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen Ling smiled and said, "Dad, I don't even believe what you're saying myself."

"Haha, that's true, there's nothing I can do about it. If you don't believe me, that's fine too. I won't say anything more," Mr. Chen said helplessly.

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, Li Lili immediately laughed and said, "Haha, Dad, you're so cute! You're so funny to talk like that."

"What's wrong? Is there anything funny? I don't think there's anything wrong with it either," Mr. Chen replied casually from the side.

"You probably haven't noticed it yourself, but I already know. The change in you before and after is just too great." Then, Chen's mother spoke up again with a smile.

"Haha, of course I know that. I just need to take care of our son, you know? You can't just ignore him if you don't care about him, can you?" Then, seeing Mr. Chen, she continued to speak with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh. Then he said to his father, "Dad, what you said sounds a bit hypocritical. I can't even believe it myself, haha."

"If you don't believe me, that's fine, but you know I really care about you. Believe it or not, it's all the same." Then, seeing Mr. Chen standing to the side, he continued to speak with a smile.

As soon as Mr. Chen finished speaking, Li Lili and Mrs. Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Then Chen Ling laughed and said, "Haha, you're kidding me."

"Tch, this is truly a case of good intentions being wasted, my goodness. It's hopeless, no wonder you're single. I don't want to bother with you anymore," Mr. Chen said, looking at Chen Ling with a hint of dejection.

Looking at his father's expression, Chen Ling suddenly became curious, and then laughed and said, "Haha, what kind of joke are you playing on me?"

"It wasn't a joke, I was just showing you some normal concern. I had no idea why you were making such a fuss about it," Mr. Chen quickly added with a smile.

Then Chen Ling laughed and said, "Haha, you're kidding me. Let's see if I believe you or not."

"Well, I've already told you that, haven't I? Believe it or not, it's up to you. I have no other choice, there's nothing I can do." Mr. Chen said with a smile.

Chen Ling looked at his father's expression and smiled slightly, but didn't say anything more. He just looked at his father.

Chapter 1095 Strange Gaze

When Chen Ling looked at his father, his eyes never left his father's sight. He just kept staring at his father, which made his father feel embarrassed.

Then, Mr. Chen laughed and said, "Haha, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Hmm, I don't know either. What's wrong? I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? I just wanted to look at you a little longer, why are you so shocked?" Chen Ling replied calmly.

Just then, Mr. Chen shook his head, then immediately laughed and said, "Haha, that's for sure! I'm quite shocked. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with it. I'm just curious; it's the first time I've ever seen you like this," Chen Ling said with a smile.

Chen Ling felt that this was the first time his father had gone to such lengths to protect him, and he really felt embarrassed about it.

Then, Mr. Chen said with a smile, "Haha, well, I don't really have any ideas about this. I just wanted to argue for you on your behalf."

"Haha, alright then, I won't say anything more," Chen Ling replied with a smile.

However, at that moment, after hearing what Chen Ling said, Mr. Chen immediately turned to look at Mrs. Chen and then quickly said with a smile.

After a while, Aunt Yang had finished preparing all the food.

Just as Chen Ling and the others were eating, Chen Ling suddenly sighed.

"Sigh..." Chen Ling sighed deeply.

"What's wrong?" Chen's mother asked Chen Ling with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's nothing," Chen Ling replied with a smile to his mother.

At this moment, Chen's mother turned to look at Chen Ling and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you? Why are you sighing like that? Seriously, isn't that funny?"

"Huh? Are you kidding me?" Chen Ling replied casually.

Just as Chen Ling finished speaking and looked up at his mother, he suddenly realized the strange looks everyone was giving him.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? It's so strange," Chen Ling asked.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother said with a smile, "Haha, you wouldn't understand, would you? But she didn't say anything, did she? Haha."

"That's weird," Chen Ling muttered to himself.

Then Chen Ling looked up at the people around him, who seemed to be looking at him with strange eyes. Chen Ling immediately smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. Really, I just sighed a few times. What's the big deal?"

"Well, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but I just feel that you're usually quite positive, and today you've suddenly started sighing and complaining, which makes me a little uncomfortable."

"Oh, don't you feel even a little bit guilty? My negative energy was influenced by you, wasn't it?" Chen Ling said, seizing the opportunity.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I don't believe a word of it. You say you've been influenced by me, that I have a lot of negative energy? I don't even feel it myself." Just then, Chen's mother spoke hesitantly.

While Chen's mother was saying that Chen Ling's condition had nothing to do with her, she was also starting to think carefully about whether she had really affected him.

When Chen's mother thought of this, she couldn't help but shudder. If that were really the case, then it would truly be a disaster.

However, at this moment, Chen Ling spoke up again, laughing, and said, "Haha, what you're saying doesn't seem to make any mistake."

"Uh," Mrs. Chen said in surprise.

Then, Chen's mother continued to speak with a smile, "Haha, if you think there's nothing wrong with it, then I won't nag you anymore. Just keep it in mind."

"Yes, yes, I know what I'm doing, but I have to say, this negative energy of mine is related to you. You see, if it weren't for you, tell me, would I have done this?" Chen Ling looked at his mother and said very seriously.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen laughed for a while, and then quickly asked with a smile, "Haha, so what happened? What's wrong?"

"Then shouldn't you treat me better and make it up to me?" Chen Ling continued.

"Oh, I see. If that's what you think, then of course it's fine. What do you want me to make up for? Just tell me directly, okay?" Mrs. Chen asked from the side.

However, at this moment, Chen Ling said, "Haha, that depends on your wishes."

"No, please. You still haven't told me why you did this." At this moment, Chen's mother spoke up and continued to ask.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just thought that after we started eating, I remembered what happened at lunchtime, and what you all said about me earlier. It made me think, well, you guys are really something. I'm speechless." Then, seeing Chen Ling, she continued with a smile.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, Chen's mother immediately laughed and then quickly said, "Haha, you're really overthinking things, aren't you? I think you're unusually free today, why are you bringing this up?"

"Well, I don't know why, but I'm just really bothered by it," Chen Ling said calmly.

"Are you alright now? Do you think I don't know you? You're not that petty. Stop joking with me, or I'll start to get worried." Then, Chen's mother continued to speak with a smile.

After Li Lili finished speaking, Chen Ling quickly said with a smile, "Haha, you didn't know that, did you?"

"Yeah, I don't know what you were thinking, making that joke on Mom, haha." Li Lili immediately started laughing when she saw this.

After seeing Li Lili's silly grin, Chen Ling didn't have anything else to say.

Chapter 1096 Unspeakable Suffering

However, at this moment, Mr. Chen, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing his father so happy, Chen Ling quickly smiled and said, "Haha, Dad, what's wrong? Why are you laughing so happily?"

"Uh, you wouldn't know this, but is this not acceptable?" Mr. Chen said with a smile.

"Sure, I was just a little curious." Then, upon seeing Chen Ling, he continued with a smile.

As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, he saw his father standing to the side and quickly said with a smile, "Isn't that fine then?"

"But I'm really curious, why are you so happy?" Chen Ling continued to ask.

After hearing Chen Ling's question, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother laughed and said, "Haha, isn't it okay to be happy? Why do I feel like you're being so domineering?"

"Oh, yes, what's wrong? Is it not allowed?" Chen Ling said arrogantly.

"Sure, but it's fine if your dad wants to be happy. Why are you pressing the issue so hard?" Mrs. Chen then added with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen Ling immediately replied, "That makes me happy too."

"Yes, yes, yes," Mrs. Chen nodded in response.
