Seeing Chen's mother's reaction, Mr. Chen became even more at ease, and then smiled at her and said, "Haha, yes, I'm getting sentimental here. How are you? Are you starting to feel uncomfortable again?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen nodded vigorously, and then looked at Mr. Chen expectantly.

When Mr. Chen looked down and met Mrs. Chen's gaze, his heart softened instantly...

"Haha, alright, alright, I won't talk nonsense anymore, and you shouldn't overthink it either," Mr. Chen said with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother immediately replied, "Oh, okay, sure. Anything is fine."

Mrs. Chen looked at Mr. Chen with a lovesick expression.

"Your attitude has changed quite a bit, you fickle woman," Mr. Chen said with a chuckle.

"Yes, women are indeed fickle, aren't they?" Mrs. Chen said obediently.

Mrs. Chen's actions undoubtedly warmed Mr. Chen's heart once again.

Then, Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Haha, but I still prefer you this way. If possible, you can show me more of this side of yourself, so I can feel happy too. That way, I can go out with you every day. What do you think?"

"Oh, so you mean it was my fault for not taking me out for a walk before?" Chen's mother immediately asked after hearing this.

“I don’t feel that way, but what if you think that way?... Then I can’t let you think that way, because that would be really unfair to me, wouldn’t it?” Mr. Chen deliberately dragged out his words and said to Mrs. Chen with a smile.

Mrs. Chen had expected Mr. Chen to say, "That's right." To her surprise, Mr. Chen didn't say that; in fact, he said the opposite. This undoubtedly took Mrs. Chen by surprise once again.

However, at this moment, Chen's mother smiled and said, "Well, okay, since you're so sincere, I'll choose to believe you for now. I hope you won't let me down."

"Okay, I understand. But I have one more question for you," Mr. Chen said.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen replied, "Okay, what's the question? Go ahead and ask."

Mrs. Chen looked at Mr. Chen with a serious expression, and then spoke with a smile.

Chapter 1099 Stealing Half a Day of Leisure

However, at this moment, they saw Chen's mother talking with a smile while looking at Chen's father very seriously.

Seeing Chen's mother's reaction, Mr. Chen quickly said with a smile, "Then could you please be a little gentler every day?"

"Oh, is this something you have to ask others to do? This is really the first time I've ever seen this," Mrs. Chen replied with a smile.

"Alright then, I don't care how many times this has happened. Just tell me what you're thinking." Mr. Chen continued to press for answers.

"Then my attitude depends on your attitude. It mainly depends on you. It depends on how you treat me," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Just then, Mr. Chen, who was standing to the side, smiled and said, "Haha, if that's what you mean, then I understand. You want to hear me say I'll treat you better, right? Well, I know, I'll treat you a little better, okay?"

"Sure, if that's what you're saying, then of course it's possible," Mrs. Chen replied with a smile.

However, upon hearing this, Mr. Chen immediately laughed and said, "Haha, then I'm relieved."

"Yes, yes, I'm relieved that you're not worried." Seeing this, Mrs. Chen immediately smiled and said along with Mr. Chen.

At this moment, both Mr. and Mrs. Chen were extremely happy.

Just then, Chen's mother quickly smiled and said, "We've been out for quite a while now, haven't we? Should we head back?"

“I finally managed to steal a moment of free time to bring you out for a walk. Why go back so early? Let’s walk around here a bit more, chat a bit,” Mr. Chen quickly added with a smile.

As soon as Mr. Chen finished speaking, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but laugh.

"If that's how you put it, then I think I roughly understand what's going on. You want to give Chen Ling and the other two more time, right?" Chen's mother asked excitedly after hearing this.

"Haha, if that's how you put it, then I have nothing to say to you. I can only say that you guessed right. Haha, are you satisfied?" Mr. Chen said with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll stay with you a little longer."

"What's wrong? Are you so unwilling?" Mr. Chen asked in surprise after hearing this.

"Yes, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied?" Mrs. Chen replied with a smile.

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Mr. Chen immediately expressed his strong dissatisfaction, but then he immediately smiled and said, "Sigh, I'm not satisfied, but what I said doesn't count. Let's just forget about it and not say anything more. As long as you're happy."

Just then, Chen's mother, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up with a smile, saying, "Hehe, look how wronged you are. What's wrong? Is it really necessary to be so serious?"

"Uh, I don't think so. I'm just a little concerned about it," Mr. Chen said with a forced smile, suppressing his helplessness.

"Alright, you shouldn't force a smile, it doesn't look good at all," Chen's mother said with a smile.

Just then, Mr. Chen continued, "Then you should speak to me properly. But you should tell me if you want to spend more time with me, and not think about other things."

"Haha, but isn't it a bit perfunctory to say that? I'm not used to talking like that." Then, seeing Chen's mother standing to the side, she quickly spoke up with a smile.

As Chen's mother said this, she laughed again.

Then, Mr. Chen shook his head helplessly, and then said with a smile, "Sigh, I knew it. This is something I couldn't ask you about. If I had asked you, it would have been really over."

"Haha, it's not as serious as you make it out to be. It's really not that serious. Okay, please don't say that," Mrs. Chen quickly said.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say," Mr. Chen replied with a smile, nodding.

For Mr. Chen, it seemed like none of this mattered anymore, since nothing had really happened. Regardless of what Mrs. Chen said, he at least understood some of her feelings.

Mrs. Chen smiled at Mr. Chen and said, "Haha, it's nothing, you're just telling me what to do. You're really something."

"What's the big deal? Don't you think so?" Mr. Chen said calmly.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother quickly spoke up with a smile, saying, "Yes, yes. You're right. Is that alright?"

"Isn't that a bit too obvious? Really. Alright, alright, I won't say any more to you," Mr. Chen replied calmly.

So Mr. and Mrs. Chen held hands and walked for a long, long time, until very late, before they finally started to head back.

Just then, Mr. Chen said with a smile, "Keep your voice down. Don't disturb them."

Before even entering the house, Mr. Chen started reminding Mrs. Chen to speak with a smile.

Seeing this, Chen's mother immediately nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, don't worry, I understand everything you said. Hehe."

"Okay. Let's go then," Mr. Chen said with a smile.

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, he immediately opened the door and then burst into laughter.

"Why are you still watching TV dramas?" Mr. Chen said with a smile.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ling asked immediately after hearing this.

"It's nothing, I was just a little curious. Haha," Mr. Chen replied with a smile.

"Oh, alright then. Why did it take you so long to get back? Isn't it a bit too late?" Then, noticing Chen Ling standing to the side, she immediately continued to ask.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he saw Li Lili and quickly said with a smile, "Yeah, yeah, why are you back so late?"

Chapter 1100: A Heartbreaking Story Too Hard to Tell

As soon as Li Lili said that, she made Chen's mother laugh.

Then, Mr. Chen hurriedly stepped in front of Mrs. Chen and replied, "Well, it's nothing, it's alright. It's a long story."

"What do you mean it's hard to explain? You make it sound like it's something serious." Li Lili continued to ask.

However, at this moment, Chen's mother quickly spoke up with a smile and said, "It's all a heartbreaking story. It's heartbreaking to think about it."

"What? What's wrong?" Li Lili asked persistently.

"Haha, it's nothing much, it's just a bit funny," Mr. Chen replied with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother quickly smiled and said, "Haha, actually, it's nothing to tell you, it's nothing serious."

"Then hurry up and tell us. Staying silent like this is really piquing our interest," Li Lili said with a smile as soon as she heard this.

"Haha, okay, it's nothing really. We just thought you two would do your own things after we left. Well, it seems you are indeed doing your own things, but each of you is doing your own thing. It's a little different from what we imagined," Mrs. Chen explained with a smile.

At this moment, Chen's mother was still observing Chen Ling and Li Lili's reactions, trying to glean something from them.

Seeing this, Chen Ling immediately laughed and said, "Haha, if that's what you're saying, then I understand. To put it more bluntly, you think we'll have some alone time together and do things other than watching TV dramas or playing games, right?"

"Yes, yes, if you put it that way, then that's definitely how it is. Haha." Seeing this, Mrs. Chen immediately chimed in with a smile.

However, at this moment, Li Lili spoke up calmly, "Oh, so that's how it is. Is that why you came back so late? You guys are really being a bit ridiculous."

"Haha, that's for sure! We've thought of so many things for you. Look how thoughtful we are! But thinking about it, it's all a waste. Sigh, it's heartbreaking." At this moment, Mrs. Chen began to sigh again.

"Oh my goodness, look how excited you are! You're even getting emotional. It's nothing, Mom. It's just a small thing. Is it really worth getting so emotional about? Really. It's nothing." Then, seeing Chen Ling standing to the side, she immediately said with a smile.

Just then, Chen's mother immediately replied, "Well... never mind, it's a long story, I won't say any more."

"Oh my, you've really taken it to heart?" Chen Ling said with a smile.

"Yeah, what else did you think? Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. After all, I tried my best all summer, but I still couldn't do it." Then, seeing Chen Ling standing to the side, she said with a helpless smile.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, Chen's mother understood what he meant and gave him a sympathetic look.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Really. Don't worry about me." Chen Ling quickly pretended not to care and said with a smile.

However, at this moment, Li Lili spoke up weakly, "Are you talking about me?"

"Haha, you do have some self-awareness now, but it's good that you know. We don't mean anything by it," Chen Ling replied.

However, at this point, how could Li Lili still believe what Chen Ling said? So she quickly shook her head and continued, "No, from your tone, I can hear strong dissatisfaction."

However, at this moment, Chen's mother spoke up with a smile and said, "Haha, I don't know either, but I think it's really heartbreaking."

"Alright, alright, stop talking. If you keep going, I'm going to cry." Chen Ling quickly said with a smile.

"Tch, how could you be so fragile? Honestly, don't lie to me." Mrs. Chen quickly chimed in with a laugh.

After hearing what his mother said, Chen Ling immediately gave her a disapproving look. He thought to himself, "She's definitely my mother. She's really undermining me like this."

Then, Chen's mother, who was standing to the side, continued to laugh and say, "Haha, that's for sure. But you don't know, none of this is of any use anymore."

"Alright, alright, I can't talk to you now. Every time I try to talk to you, you have to find a way to talk back to me," Chen Ling said calmly.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he immediately expressed strong dissatisfaction.

"Haha, look at you! If you put it that way, then you're wrong. How could you think like that? Children need to be more tolerant, you know?" Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Just then, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up with a smile and said, "Haha, Mom, you're absolutely right. I really agree with your point of view."

"Alright, you don't need three people to put on a show. So I'll just stay silent and watch you quietly," Chen Ling said with a smile.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he immediately widened his eyes and began to look at Li Lili and Chen's mother beside him.

But at this moment, Mr. Chen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. He laughed and said, "Haha, aren't you three bored? It's the middle of the night, and instead of going home to rest, you're still chatting here."
