Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Actually...

"Ye Fei has never tried my cooking before. She’s always been the one cooking for me, so upon hearing that I was going to cook, she hurried over with Xiao Mo," Li Xiaoyun said.

Mrs. Li wasn’t sure if she had really taken in what Li Xiaoyun was saying.

She just nervously asked, "Is Zhao Gushen coming too?"

"Yes, if Ye Fei is coming, he’s bound to follow," Li Xiaoyun responded.

"You child!" Mrs. Li hurriedly tapped Li Xiaoyun’s arm, "Why didn’t you inform us beforehand! Now there’s such a big fuss! If you had told us earlier, I wouldn’t have invited Xiao Xu over!"

"Do you really think it wouldn’t be a problem to invite Xiao Xu if Zhao Gushen and Zhao Dingli weren’t coming?" Li Xiaoyun retorted.

Mrs. Li: "..."

Originally, she thought it wouldn’t be an issue.

But for some reason, after Li Xiaoyun’s question, she felt a bit guilty.

Li Xiaoyun sighed and said, "This is indeed my fault. Initially, I was just worried that knowing Zhao Gushen and Zhao Dingli were coming might make you nervous, and you’d stress too much, fussing around the house."

It wasn’t just her imagining; Mr. and Mrs. Li would indeed do that.

They might even consider renovating the house from top to bottom.

Maybe not a full-scale renovation,

but repainting the walls, doing a thorough cleaning inside and out — they’d absolutely do that.

And that might just be the mild version.

"So I thought it best to let you be natural, just as you normally interact with Ye Fei, and do the same with Zhao Gushen and Zhao Dingli, no need for anything special. Otherwise, if you’re nervous, they wouldn’t feel comfortable either," Li Xiaoyun explained.

"Who would’ve thought you could pull something like this behind my back," Li Xiaoyun said helplessly.

Mrs. Li thought if she had known there was someone as exceptional as Zhao Dingli around Li Xiaoyun, she wouldn’t have called Xiao Xu over.

Moreover, since Li Xiaoyun was able to bring Zhao Dingli over, it suggests they are getting along quite well.

Even if Li Xiaoyun denies it, saying they’re just friends, at least it shows they are close.

They probably meet often.

Getting used to such an outstanding man, how could she settle for an average one?

Mrs. Li couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

At first, she was quite excited.

But considering that if Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun aren’t actually together, but Li Xiaoyun’s standards have been raised by him, wouldn’t it be even harder to find a partner?

Immediately, even before things reach that point, Mrs. Li was already worried.

Yet amidst her worries, she suddenly noticed that Li Xiaoyun always mentioned Zhao Gushen and Zhao Dingli together.

And both had the surname Zhao.

Mrs. Li then asked, "Are Zhao Gushen and Zhao Dingli from the same family? Are they brothers?"

Li Xiaoyun, without much thought, said, "Zhao Dingli is Zhao Gushen’s fourth uncle."

Fourth uncle...

Mrs. Li: "..."

She hadn’t expected that to be the answer at all when she asked.

Zhao Dingli is Zhao Gushen’s uncle.

That means he’s in a different generation from Li Xiaoyun.

And Li Xiaoyun had just said that she is merely friends with Zhao Dingli, so Mrs. Li didn’t dare ask more openly.

Mrs. Li thought for a moment and then indirectly asked, "Then doesn’t Ye Fei have to call him uncle too?"

"Yes, that’s right," Li Xiaoyun nodded, not understanding why the question.

Wasn’t it obvious?

"Aren’t you supposed to call him uncle too?" Mrs. Li continued to ask.

"Ah, no need for that," Li Xiaoyun explained, "We agreed to keep things separate."

"I’m friends with Ye Fei, but we’re not relatives, so I don’t need to follow Ye Fei’s generational title," Li Xiaoyun explained.

"Otherwise, wouldn’t he become your peer?" Li Xiaoyun laughed.

Mrs. Li hadn’t thought of that before.

Now with Li Xiaoyun’s reminder, she realized it’s true.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that mean becoming sworn brothers with Zhao Dingli?

That wouldn’t do.

It’s better for Zhao Dingli to be in the same generation as Li Xiaoyun.

Yet now, Mrs. Li already considered Zhao Dingli as Li Xiaoyun’s potential boyfriend.

If they really ended up together, wouldn’t Li Xiaoyun become Ye Fei’s fourth aunt?

Mrs. Li was getting a headache over these generational titles.

What kind of situation was this, she thought.

"So..." Mrs. Li asked, "This whole separate generational title thing, it’s fine if you young people discuss it among yourselves, but are the elders okay with it?"

"Won’t the elders find this inappropriate and have opinions about you?"

Li Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment; she hadn’t considered this before.

Now with Mrs. Li’s mention, Li Xiaoyun seriously thought about it.

"There shouldn’t be an issue. I went to the old Zhao Family residence and in front of Madam Zhao and Mr. Zhao, oh, and the third master, who is Zhao Dingli’s father. I... just out of habit, called Zhao Dingli by his name, and they didn’t say anything," Li Xiaoyun said.

Hearing this startled Mrs. Li quite a bit.

"You’ve even been to his family’s elders?" Mrs. Li exclaimed.

Mrs. Li knew nothing about the Zhao family’s structure.

But she understood terms like Mr. Zhao, Madam Zhao, and the old Zhao residence.

They must be the most respected seniors of the Zhao Family.

Including Zhao Dingli’s father.

These three elders must hold significant influence.

And yet, Li Xiaoyun has visited them?

"Because of Ye Fei, I went to watch her competition and met the Zhao Family elders. Then later, having gotten to know Zhao Dingli, I visited twice," Li Xiaoyun explained.

Mrs. Li gasped, almost losing her balance.

Her legs went weak, and she quickly grabbed the counter for support.

Li Xiaoyun immediately reached out to support Mrs. Li, "Mom, what’s wrong? Feeling unwell? Let’s go see a doctor."

"No, I’m not unwell," Mrs. Li quickly stopped Li Xiaoyun.

She was just scared.

It was embarrassing to admit, making her seem so ungainly.

After a while, once Mrs. Li absorbed the information, she calmed down.

She then asked, "You’ve been there twice?"

When on earth did this happen without her knowing!

Li Xiaoyun nodded.

Li Xiaoyun hadn’t realized she was being influenced by Zhao Dingli and the Zhao Family, thinking everything was quite normal.

Because the more she interacted with them, the more she understood the Zhao Family.

Knowing that without the Zhao Family aura, they were just like ordinary people, very easygoing.

Ignoring the titles and simply interacting with them as people felt comfortable.

Plus, thanks to both Zhao Dingli and Ye Fei’s efforts.

Li Xiaoyun had long gotten used to it.

Otherwise, her reaction would indeed have been the same as Mrs. Li’s.

But now it’s become a habit for Li Xiaoyun, she can’t feel it anymore.

"Actually..." Li Xiaoyun thought about it and decided to say something, to let Mrs. Li know that the Zhao Family elders are really nice.
