Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1083: Chapter 1083: The Watch Might Not Even Be Real

"Hello." Li Xiaoyun nodded slightly.

Even if Mrs. Li didn’t say it, Li Xiaoyun had already guessed.

Couldn’t help but regret, had she known earlier, she would have told her mom that Zhao Dingli and Zhao Gushen were also coming.

Then such an awkward situation wouldn’t have happened.

She didn’t expect that her mom would make decisions first and inform her later.

It really caught her off guard.

"This is Xiaoyun’s friend," Mrs. Li introduced again.

"Zhao Dingli." Zhao Dingli introduced himself and reached out to shake hands with Xiao Xu.

As it was private and not during work hours, Zhao Dingli didn’t bring any business cards.

"Hello," Xiao Xu said, "Xu Mingjian."

Xu Mingjian had just looked at Zhao Dingli and felt that Zhao Dingli had a very good demeanor.

Just from the aura alone, it seemed like he outshone himself.

When he shook hands earlier, he also noticed the watch on Zhao Dingli’s wrist.

Like most men, Xu Mingjian liked cars and watches.

Not considering whether he could afford it or not, surely it’s okay just to look?

Moreover, it sets a target for himself to strive for.

Save some money, and eventually, he could buy a watch within his financial capacity.

Just like how girls buy bags, don’t they look at them often and then save to buy one?

And so, Xu Mingjian had two mechanical watches worth over ten thousand, which he considered as just starting out.

As for the first-tier brands that start at least fifty to sixty thousand apiece, he currently didn’t have the capability to buy them.

But since he kept an eye on them often, just like how girls would notice other girls’ bags on the street.

He would notice men’s watches at first glance.

Even though the handshake was brief, Xu Mingjian still noticed the watch on Zhao Dingli’s wrist at first glance.

And he immediately recognized it as a Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Moreover, he precisely identified it as the DUOMÈTRE CHRONOGRAPHE model.

Actually, since the watch wasn’t large, with just a brief look, it’s usually hard to recognize immediately what it is.

But because this watch’s design is quite distinctive, coincidentally he had meticulously researched Jaeger-LeCoultre watches.

Apart from those with exaggerated gimmicks, adorned with gemstones and diamonds to increase the value artificially,

this one is considered quite understated yet relatively expensive.

He remembered, the domestic price was 365,000 yuan.

Xu Mingjian’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch.

Such an expensive watch.

Although privately, Xu Mingjian sourly thought, this watch might not even be real.

Maybe it’s a high-quality replica.

But Zhao Dingli’s overall aura indeed suggested wealth, matching well with the watch.

Looking at Zhao Dingli, it’s hard to imagine him wearing a fake.

As the viewing time was too short, he couldn’t observe properly, and Xu Mingjian was unsure.

He couldn’t just directly ask either.

This left Xu Mingjian feeling frustrated and anxious.

"Please sit, please sit!" Mrs. Li quickly said, trying to ease the awkwardness.

Rationally, Xiao Xu thought he should leave.

Li Xiaoyun had brought a man back.

He knew there was no use staying.

But he wanted to stay out of curiosity.

He was really curious whether this Zhao Dingli was genuinely rich or married into wealth.

And whether the watch on Zhao Dingli’s wrist was real or not.

For these reasons alone, Xiao Xu didn’t want to leave.

Following Mrs. Li’s words, Xiao Xu sat down again.

Neither Mrs. Li nor Mr. Li felt anything was amiss.

Even if Xiao Xu was to leave, they couldn’t allow it.

He had come as a guest; even if it didn’t result in a match, they couldn’t just let him leave like that.

Moreover, seeing Xiao Xu’s reaction, does it seem like he isn’t ready to give up?

Mrs. Li instantly felt that, you see, usually, Li Xiaoyun doesn’t like to find matches.

Otherwise, she would be quite popular.

Once Xiao Xu sat down, his gaze couldn’t help but drift to Zhao Dingli’s wrist.

But Zhao Dingli didn’t mind at all, with no intention to flaunt his watch.

This watch worth around thirty thousand was nothing to Zhao Dingli.

Frequently covered by his sleeve, he didn’t feel the need to show it off.

"I didn’t know Miss Li would bring a friend today; my timing is off," Xu Mingjian said.

Li Xiaoyun thought, then why don’t you leave first?

Otherwise, an unknown person stuck in the middle is truly awkward.

Seeing Li Xiaoyun wasn’t intending to be polite, Mrs. Li spoke, "Oh, it’s no big deal, a guest is a guest, feel free to stay."

"Isn’t this inconvenient?" Xu Mingjian pretended to stand up, "Maybe I should leave first."

With this, Mrs. Li couldn’t agree. She quickly said, "No, no, you’ve come all this way and agreed to have dinner here, we can’t just let you leave."

Li Xiaoyun heard, and realized that Xu Mingjian was also going to stay for dinner?

She was in charge of dinner, and she hadn’t told her parents yet.

She wanted to surprise them.

Moreover, Ye Fei, Zhao Gushen, and Zhao Dingli were all familiar people.

She prepared a dinner table, and it was no problem.

But with Xu Mingjian as an outsider, Li Xiaoyun instinctively didn’t want to prepare dinner for him.

If they knew each other, she wouldn’t be so stingy.

But she clearly didn’t know Xu Mingjian, and they definitely wouldn’t meet again after this.

Then why should she prepare dinner for him?

If Xu Mingjian weren’t there, they were all friends, and Ye Fei would certainly help her.

But now, having Ye Fei cook for Xu Mingjian was clearly inappropriate.

Even if Ye Fei didn’t mind, Zhao Gushen wouldn’t like it.

Li Xiaoyun could only keep the fact that she planned to cook dinner herself under wraps, without saying anything.

"You sit down," Mrs. Li quickly gestured, "I’ll go cut some fruit, it’ll be ready soon."

"Mom, I’ll help you," Li Xiaoyun said.

Just right as Mrs. Li wanted to say something privately to Li Xiaoyun, she didn’t stop her.

Li Xiaoyun followed into the kitchen, closed the door, and quietly asked, "Mom, what’s the situation with this Xu Mingjian?"

Mrs. Li guiltily couldn’t speak up.

Li Xiaoyun then said, "Isn’t he the blind date you set up for me?"

"You’re something, clearly having someone already, why didn’t you tell the family? Look at the mess this has caused," Mrs. Li complained in return.

"What do you mean having someone, Zhao Dingli is a friend. Besides, even if I didn’t bring him back, you can’t just invite a stranger over without saying anything," Li Xiaoyun said.

"I had already told Ye Fei I planned to make dinner for you all tonight," Li Xiaoyun said.

"You are going to cook?" Mrs. Li was surprised and laughed, "What can you cook?"

"I just haven’t cooked because I haven’t been home much, but I thought that wasn’t great. So I learned a few dishes from Ye Fei, planning to cook for you tonight."

That’s why Ye Fei and Zhao Gushen were bringing Xiao Mo along.
