Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081: What About Xiao Xu Inside?

Originally, the Lao Li Family was worried about Li Xiaoyun.

But now, not only is work no longer a worry, even marriage isn’t an issue.

Lao Li knows that saying anything now is useless.

To be fair, if he speaks fairly, Sister Wang would think he’s siding with outsiders.

If he helps her in the debate, Lao Li really can’t bring himself to do it.

That’s because Li Xiaoyun is capable.

Their daughter isn’t so capable, is she?

How can they be envious?

As Sister Wang spoke, she suddenly remembered something and ran to the balcony.

Looking down, she couldn’t see anyone, assuming Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun had already entered the building.

Sister Wang returned and said, "But it’s not certain, they’re still dating, not yet married, let’s see during the wedding to see if he’s the one."

Lao Li wisely remained silent and did not respond.

***

Li Xiaoyun has the door card for her family’s unit, so she doesn’t need to ring the bell like Zhao Dingli and Zhao Gushen have to do at the old house.

This shows their status at the old house.

Li Xiaoyun swiped the card to open the door for Zhao Dingli, holding the door open for him to enter first.

They both entered the elevator. Zhao Dingli was treating today as the day to meet his future in-laws, so he was especially nervous.

"Did you tell your... " He almost slipped up, thinking in the habit, then quickly corrected himself, "Have you told your uncle and aunt?"

"I didn’t dare to say," Li Xiaoyun replied.

Zhao Dingli was immediately heartbroken.

Is it embarrassing for him to come here?

Why wouldn’t she dare tell them?

"I didn’t even dare to say Zhao Gushen is coming," Li Xiaoyun added.

Zhao Dingli was suddenly comforted.

After all, Zhao Gushen is Ye Fei’s rightful husband.

Even Li Xiaoyun didn’t dare mention it.

"Why?" Zhao Dingli asked again.

"I’m worried my parents would be too stressed and take it too seriously. If it’s just friends coming over for a meal, they’d get so worked up to the point that it’s too formal, I’m afraid you’d also feel awkward," Li Xiaoyun explained.

"So I didn’t say anything, letting them act normally today," Li Xiaoyun said.

"If I let them know in advance that you’re coming with Zhao Gushen, they’d definitely be so nervous they’d want to rearrange the whole house," Li Xiaoyun said, "A big clean-up would be the least of it."

Upon hearing the reason, Zhao Dingli calmed down again and chuckled.

Shortly after speaking, the elevator arrived.

The two got off the elevator, and Zhao Dingli followed Li Xiaoyun to the doorstep.

The house had a password lock, and Li Xiaoyun’s password was recorded there.

Therefore, Li Xiaoyun didn’t ring the bell but simply pressed her index finger on the password lock.

The password lock gave an unlocking prompt sound.

Even inside the house, the sound could be heard.

Mrs. Li and Mr. Li heard it.

Mrs. Li quickly got up, smiled, and said to Xiao Xu, "It must be Xiaoyun coming home."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xu also stood up quickly.

He didn’t want to go directly to the door and was therefore a bit nervous standing in the living room.

At the door, Mrs. Li arrived just as Li Xiaoyun opened it.

"Mom?" Li Xiaoyun was a bit surprised to see her mother’s smiling face as soon as she opened the door.

Mrs. Li was unusually enthusiastic today.

Because she comes back every week, her parents are used to it and don’t greet her warmly every time she returns.

This time they were suddenly so enthusiastic, Li Xiaoyun was somewhat unaccustomed.

Does Mrs. Li have something going on?

But then she saw her mother’s smile freeze, looking startled at the tall Zhao Dingli behind Li Xiaoyun.

What’s the situation!

Mrs. Li suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

Why did Li Xiaoyun bring a man back?

Moreover, a tall and handsome one.

"Are you... dating a boyfriend?" Mrs. Li’s face changed nervously.

What about Xiao Xu inside?

Isn’t this so awkward!

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Although Zhao Dingli is not her boyfriend.

Still, logically, even if she was indeed dating a boyfriend, her mother should only be happy.

Why now, she’s instead so frightened?

"Mom, this is my friend." To avoid Mrs. Li misunderstanding, Li Xiaoyun hurriedly said.

Not a boyfriend, just one word off.

For Mrs. Li, Zhao Dingli didn’t play tricks, not speaking before Li Xiaoyun.

His main purpose today was just to make his presence known.

To let Mr. Li and Mrs. Li know that he exists.

Since their daughter had such an outstanding guy like him by her side.

Before introducing anyone else, they’d have to see if they could compare to him, right?

With his high standards here, Mrs. Li shouldn’t fancy anyone else after seeing him.

Li Xiaoyun found it increasingly odd seeing her mother stunned.

While entering the house, Li Xiaoyun reminded her mother, "Mom, let my friend come in first."

Why keep them outside?

Mrs. Li was so nervous, her mouth began to twitch.

"Alright, alright." Mrs. Li said somewhat distractedly.

Xiao Xu in the living room still did not know what was happening, just nervously looking towards the door.

Until Zhao Dingli came in with large bags, Xiao Xu was dumbfounded too.

What’s going on?

Isn’t today a blind date?

Why did she bring a man back?

Bringing home a man of similar age, it’s no ordinary friend, even by a toe’s imagination.

Who casually brings an opposite-sex friend home?

Unless truly close, a friend for many years, whom parents already know.

Don’t know if that’s the situation now?

"Woah, how come you brought so many things?" As Li Xiaoyun made way, Mrs. Li finally saw the large bags Zhao Dingli was carrying.

But obscured by bags, Mrs. Li didn’t know what Zhao Dingli brought.

"Hello Auntie," Zhao Dingli said, "I’m Zhao Dingli."

"Hello, hello." Mrs. Li responded quickly, contemplating whether he had any relation to the Zhao Family.

Though Mrs. Li felt it couldn’t be such a coincidence.

Ye Fei is married to Zhao Gushen, and Li Xiaoyun actually knows someone from the Zhao Family?

Mrs. Li was observant.

Li Xiaoyun said it was a friend, but Mrs. Li thought it wasn’t just that.

Over the years, the only friend Li Xiaoyun ever brought home was Ye Fei, a little girl.

She never had any male friends.

It’s not a childhood friend, nor an old friend known for years.

It’s the first time she’s brought someone other than Ye Fei home, and the first time she’s brought a male home.

Either of these points suggests the relationship between Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun is unusual.

Thinking of Xiao Xu inside, Mrs. Li was suddenly caught in between.

"This..." Mrs. Li took the gift and said, "Xiaoyun, why did you let your friend bring so many things?"

"I couldn’t stop him," Li Xiaoyun said helplessly.
