Just then, Chen's father, who was standing to the side, spoke up with a smile and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I was just thinking about your mother at noon, about how she doesn't talk during meals. Look at today's meal, she chatted with you for ages."

"Haha, that's for sure. We've been chatting for ages. My mom is really contradicting herself," Chen Ling said with a laugh.

As soon as Chen Ling finished speaking, he immediately burst into laughter.

"Oh, this is it. What's so special about it?" Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"It's alright, it's alright. As long as you're happy." Chen Ling suppressed a laugh and continued.

The entire meal was spent almost entirely arguing...

After they finished eating, they walked towards the living room, turned on the TV, and started watching.

"Shall we go for a walk?" Mr. Chen then turned to Mrs. Chen and said.

"Huh?" Mrs. Chen said in surprise upon seeing this.

"Haha, don't you always feel that I don't let you play when I go out to play? How about this? I'll go with you, okay?" Mr. Chen said with a smile.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, Chen's mother continued to laugh and say, "Haha, you're kidding me. I didn't mean that."

"You didn't think this was too fake, did you? Do you think I don't know you?" Then, seeing Mr. Chen standing to the side, she continued to speak with a smile.

"Um, okay. But it'll be so boring going out with you. I don't want to go out with you," Mrs. Chen replied casually.

Then, Chen's father, who was standing to the side, was utterly astonished after hearing what Chen's mother said.

“What do you mean by boring? I’ll just stop taking you to play chess with my friends, won’t I?” Mr. Chen continued.

Today, Mr. Chen mainly wanted to spend some time with Mrs. Chen, but it seems Mrs. Chen didn't want to. Mr. Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother, who was standing to the side, spoke up again with a smile, saying, "Then I won't go either. If you want to go out, then you can go out by yourself."

"I..." Mr. Chen tried to speak loudly, but then he didn't know what to say.

Then, Chen's father swallowed hard, then tried to compose himself, and said to Chen's mother with a smile, "Okay, do whatever makes you happy. If you don't want to go, then forget it, I won't go either."

"No, what's wrong with you today? You've suddenly changed your personality?" Just then, Chen's mother noticed her and quickly spoke up with a smile.

“Mom, Dad has always been like this, he always has you in his heart. Why don’t you go out for a walk with Dad? Haven’t you gone out for a walk in a long time?” Li Lili quickly spoke up for Chen’s father.

At this moment, Mr. Chen quietly gave Li Lili a thumbs-up, and then nodded and smiled to express his gratitude.

"Well, okay then." Mrs. Chen glanced at Li Lili, then turned to Mr. Chen and said.

"Okay," Mr. Chen said with a smile.

Afterwards, Chen's mother went back to her room to change her clothes, and then prepared to go out with Chen's father.

"I'm all ready, you can go now." As soon as Mrs. Chen came out, she immediately said loudly.

“Okay,” Mr. Chen nodded in reply.

"Then we'll head out now," Mr. Chen said, pulling Mrs. Chen along as they prepared to leave.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling laughed and said, "Haha, okay, okay, you two go out quickly. We'll be fine at home."

After Chen's parents left, Chen Ling immediately turned to Li Lili with a smile and said, "How about we have some alone time together?"

"What do you mean by 'enjoying some alone time'? Are TV dramas not interesting enough, games not fun enough, or are you not busy with work anymore?" Li Lili retorted deliberately after hearing Chen Ling's words.

"I think all of what you just mentioned is important, but there's nothing I can do. I just feel that all of them combined are not as important as you," Chen Ling replied sincerely.

However, Li Lili's expression didn't change when she looked at Chen Ling. Instead, she smiled and said with a firm attitude, "Ah, you're really overthinking it. No matter what you say, I won't waver. So don't try to melt my heart."

"Oh. Compared to Dad, I'm the one who has no one to confide in. Despair." Then, seeing Chen Ling's sorrowful expression, she began to lament to Li Lili...

Chapter 1097 Smiling Without Saying a Word

Seeing Chen Ling's grief-stricken expression, Li Lili couldn't help but laugh. After a while, she spoke again to reply to Chen Ling.

Li Lili then said with a smile, "I've discovered that you're really funny now."

"Hehe." Chen Ling looked at Li Lili with a smile, then replied coldly with a smile.

Seeing Chen Ling's reaction, Li Lili naturally understood what he meant, so she quickly continued, "Then you can just keep smiling and not saying anything. I'm going to watch my TV series."

As Li Lili began to speak, she immediately turned her head to look over again.

After watching Li Lili's series of actions, Chen Ling felt utterly hopeless. Then, he immediately turned to Li Lili and said in a very serious tone, "Well, fine, if that's how you put it, I don't think I can refute you. Go watch your TV series, I'm going to play my game."

Although Chen Ling said this, he still felt very uncomfortable and regretful inside. After all, such an opportunity to spend time alone with Li Lili was indeed very rare.

Then, Chen Ling, filled with great dissatisfaction, turned on his phone...

"Oh, you're playing games here? I thought you were going somewhere else to play," Li Lili said immediately upon seeing this.

As soon as Li Lili finished speaking, Chen Ling immediately asked in surprise, "Huh? Where else do you want me to play games? Not back in my room, right?"

Chen Ling asked Li Lili with some disbelief.

Li Lili had originally intended to nod and say "yes" to Chen Ling, but after seeing Chen Ling's reaction, she didn't dare to say anything more.

“How could that be? You can play wherever you want, I have no objection. It’s all fine,” Li Lili said with a smile.

However, after Li Lili finished speaking, Chen Ling smiled and replied, "Well, it's good that you don't have any objections to this, otherwise I would think that this is too impersonal, don't you think?"

"Huh? Human touch? It's not that serious, is it? Why are we talking about this?" Li Lili continued after hearing this.

Then they saw Li Lili talking and smiling at Chen Ling.

"Uh, this is simple, it just means you're cold-blooded. Got it?" Chen Ling then continued.

As Chen Ling said this, he looked intently at Li Lili's reaction beside him.

However, even after Chen Ling finished speaking, he continued to observe Li Lili.

When Li Lili noticed Chen Ling's gaze directed at her, she didn't think much of it and quickly laughed, saying, "Haha, cold-blooded? I don't think that word suits me very well."

"Come on, if you say it's not suitable for you, then it just means you're overthinking it." Chen Ling replied calmly.

"Really? Is it as serious as you say? I didn't even notice it," Li Lili asked curiously.

Just then, after Li Lili finished speaking, Chen Ling immediately burst out laughing.

"If that's how you feel, then I have nothing more to say. Think about it yourself." Then Chen Ling said with a smile.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, Li Lili became a little embarrassed.

So we saw Li Lili laughing as she slowly replied, "Haha, besides saying there's nothing you can do and telling me to figure it out myself, what else can you say? Seriously, aren't you just too funny?"

"Is it funny? Not really, I think it's fine," Chen Ling continued.

Chen Ling continued talking, which made Li Lili, who was standing next to him, laugh.

"Look at the two of us, having a good time here. What's the big deal? Don't you think so?" Just then, she noticed Li Lili standing to the side and continued to speak with a smile.

"Nothing, I just really want to laugh. Maybe we're each other's source of joy. There's nothing else to do but laugh." Then, seeing Chen Ling beside her, she quickly added with a smile.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he proudly rolled up his collar and continued to laugh.

After observing Chen Ling's expression, Li Lili remained silent. She simply gazed at him calmly. Perhaps she found refuting Chen Ling exhausting, or perhaps she simply couldn't be bothered to argue with him. Or perhaps she agreed with his points. Only Li Lili herself knew the true reasons behind these observations.

After seeing that Li Lili didn't say anything more, Chen Ling lowered his head again and started playing with his phone.

After seeing Chen Ling's actions, Li Lili followed his example and began to refocus her attention on herself.

However, at this very moment, Chen Ling and Li Lili were in the same time and space, in the same place, doing different things together. And so, time passed little by little…

However, Chen's parents on the other side presented a stark contrast to Chen Ling and his family.

Then we saw Mr. and Mrs. Chen walking hand in hand in the neighborhood...

"Why did you suddenly change your attitude today?" Mrs. Chen asked Mr. Chen.

Mrs. Chen was quite curious about what Mr. Chen was doing today. However, she didn't know the specific reason for her curiosity.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it? But asking me like that really hurts me. I feel like I've always treated you well, haven't I? How could you think that way? It makes me feel so uncomfortable, you know?" Then, seeing Mr. Chen, she continued to speak with a smile.

Chapter 1098 Truth and Falsehood

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Chen seriously, waiting for her to answer him as soon as possible.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother immediately spoke up with a smile, saying, "Oh, so that's how you feel? Well then, if that's how you put it, then I don't have any good ideas. Haha, I'll learn from you."

"Tch, what are you talking about? I'm telling you seriously, do you like it or not?" Mr. Chen said in a very disdainful tone.

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother immediately burst into laughter, then quickly replied, "Haha, I know, I know, you just want me to say I like it, okay then, I like it, I really like it, is that alright? Really."

"You're being too perfunctory with me, aren't you? I wanted to hear you say you like it, but I hope you can say it to me seriously, not just brush me off like this." Mr. Chen quickly said with a smile.

"Aren't you being a bit too dramatic? I'd like to know why you suddenly changed your mind today?" Mrs. Chen replied with a smile.

However, at that moment, they saw Chen's mother standing to the side, talking and laughing while looking up at Chen's father. But there was a lot of helplessness in Chen's mother's eyes.

Mr. Chen felt equally helpless about Mrs. Chen's topic, so he shook his head and didn't say anything more.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to answer me?" Seeing Mr. Chen's helpless expression, Mrs. Chen immediately spoke up with a smile.

Then they saw Chen's mother, who was talking while keeping an eye on Chen's father.

However, at that moment, Mr. Chen replied with a smile, "Well, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to spend more time with you, that's all. But I really didn't expect it to make you feel this way."

"Haha, do you still feel quite helpless?" Then, Chen's mother said with a smile.

"Yes, you know what I'm thinking, so there's no need to overthink it. I'm very sure in my heart that you know your place in my heart," Mr. Chen said with a serious smile.

As Mr. Chen spoke, he started laughing again.

Mrs. Chen was delighted to see Mr. Chen speaking like this, and immediately replied, "Yes, yes, I understand what you're saying, haha, I know, don't worry. I know everything."

"That's good, but please don't ask me anything else that I don't know how to answer, okay?" Mr. Chen said, showing his doting affection for you.

However, at this moment, Chen's mother spoke up again with a smile, saying, "What question can't you answer? I think you just don't want to answer it. If you said you couldn't answer it, I really wouldn't believe it."

"Tch, if that's how you feel, then there's nothing I can do about it," Mr. Chen replied in a nonchalant tone.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen burst out laughing, and then immediately said with a smile, "Haha, look at you, you're saying there's no way again. I don't know which of your words are true and which are false. How can there be no way? You agree, right?"

"What's real and what's fake, why take it so seriously?" Then, Mr. Chen said with a smile.

As soon as Mr. Chen finished speaking, he noticed the strange look that Mrs. Chen was giving him...

"My goodness, you're actually feeling sentimental here? That's a bit much, isn't it?" Mrs. Chen said in surprise.
