Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: The Key Is, It’s Not Even a Misunderstanding

There was no notification message on WeChat, indicating that no one was looking for her.

Li Xiaoyun was inexplicably irritable and turned over.

She didn’t even know what she was anticipating.

Li Xiaoyun pondered gloomily, why did she even think Zhao Dingli would message her?

Ordinary friends wouldn’t need to do this.

Li Xiaoyun decided to stop thinking about it and opened a video app, coincidentally finding an updated episode of a variety show she liked but hadn’t watched yet.

As she watched, the WeChat notification sound suddenly went off.

The drop-down notification appeared simultaneously.

It was a message from Zhao Dingli.

Li Xiaoyun opened it to see.

It was Zhao Dingli asking her, "Are you asleep?"

"Not yet, just lying in bed watching a variety show." Li Xiaoyun glanced at the time, it wasn’t very late.

Only 10:30.

It was Mr. Li and Mrs. Li who, being older, went to bed earlier.

At this hour, Zhao Dingli definitely hadn’t slept either.

Li Xiaoyun asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Dingli replied, "Not much, nothing going on."

He didn’t mention his ongoing design project to renovate his home.

Knowing Li Xiaoyun well, if he mentioned it, she’d immediately make space for him to renovate their house.

The renovation was originally for Li Xiaoyun, yet it resulted in her leaving; what was the point?

Zhao Dingli then said, "Suddenly being home alone is really unsettling."

This time, Zhao Dingli sent a voice message.

Li Xiaoyun switched off the bedroom light, leaving only the soft, slightly faint glow from the aromatherapy machine on the nightstand.

The bedroom was dim, bathed lightly in moonlight-like soft and faint light, gently illuminating her bed.

Only a small part of the room was lit.

The night was very quiet, making Zhao Dingli’s voice from the phone distinctly clear.

His voice was low, sounding quite pleasant.

Li Xiaoyun even felt like putting on headphones to listen.

It was really nice.

"Why isn’t it comfortable?" Li Xiaoyun asked.

Since Zhao Dingli sent her a voice message, Li Xiaoyun replied in the same way.

Even though the bedroom door was closed.

And Mr. Li and Mrs. Li’s bedroom doors were also closed.

Li Xiaoyun was still afraid of being heard, worried about disturbing their sleep.

So, her voice was quite small.

But it was enough for Zhao Dingli to hear.

Zhao Dingli said, "I got used to you being at home. Got used to having someone here, chatting with you in the evening, saying goodnight to you. Now the house is empty, I don’t even have anyone to say goodnight to."

Li Xiaoyun felt Zhao Dingli sounded pitiful.

With his particularly nice voice, but now sounding low, there was a sense of loneliness.

Li Xiaoyun really wanted to comfort him.

Listening to this voice, Li Xiaoyun couldn’t help but imagine what Zhao Dingli might look like now.

A picture emerged in her mind of him lying alone in bed, pitifully curled up in a blanket like this.

However, she couldn’t picture Zhao Dingli’s face.

Because his face didn’t exactly match the pitiful image.

"Well, you can say goodnight now, voice messages are pretty convenient," Li Xiaoyun said.

Zhao Dingli was not very familiar with surfing online and keeping up with current slang.

Otherwise, he’d know Li Xiaoyun had a term for such behavior, called "straight woman."

Zhao Dingli thought to himself, is this what she meant?

If that were the case, why bother trying so hard to keep Li Xiaoyun at home?

"Why is your voice so quiet?" Zhao Dingli asked.

"My parents have also gone to bed, even though the door is closed, I’m still afraid of disturbing them." Li Xiaoyun explained.

Actually, she was more afraid Mr. Li and Mrs. Li would hear her voice and ask who she was talking to.

It was simply a guilty conscience.

But the reason for her guilt, Li Xiaoyun hadn’t really thought it through.

"Your voice is quite soothing, it’s mesmerizing," Zhao Dingli laughed softly, "It’s tiny and slow."

"Perfect then, lulling you to sleep," Li Xiaoyun said.

"Sounds like a good idea, hold on a second," Zhao Dingli said.

"What’s up?" Li Xiaoyun asked curiously.

Then she heard Zhao Dingli say, "I’ll change into my pajamas and get into bed, we can chat while we sleep."

"Alright." Li Xiaoyun replied.

She had just responded, then Zhao Dingli’s voice call came through.

It was dialed through WeChat.

Li Xiaoyun was somewhat surprised but quickly answered, hearing Zhao Dingli say, "I thought it’d be more convenient to talk this way, without having to keep pressing the phone and waiting for messages."

"That’s true." Li Xiaoyun found it quite reasonable.

"Just wait a moment, I’ll go change into my pajamas." Zhao Dingli said.

Li Xiaoyun thought to herself, hadn’t he changed already?

She presumed he had finished changing.

While pondering, she heard the rustling sounds coming from the phone.

Apparently, it was Zhao Dingli changing clothes.

Li Xiaoyun didn’t expect the phone’s microphone to be so good.

Being able to hear the sounds so clearly.

For the first time, Li Xiaoyun realized her imagination was quite vivid.

Images immediately formed in her mind.

Thinking about the process of Zhao Dingli changing out of his clothes and putting on his pajamas.

Although she hadn’t been in close proximity to Zhao Dingli.

Just by looking at Zhao Dingli’s physique, one could tell his body was definitely strong, his muscle lines beautifully defined.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to fill out those suits.

Not just the suits, everything Zhao Dingli wore made him look like a mannequin, better looking than those runway models.

In her mind’s eye, Li Xiaoyun couldn’t help but see Zhao Dingli’s exposed muscles when he took off his clothes.

The muscles on his arms must be gorgeous; whether or not he had abs was another matter.

Li Xiaoyun felt he probably did.

She had a lot of faith in Zhao Dingli.

At this moment, the mental image gradually extended from abs to the V-line.

"Slurp!"

"What was that sound?" Zhao Dingli’s voice came from the phone.

Li Xiaoyun snapped back to reality, realizing she had been daydreaming and actually drooled!

Li Xiaoyun quickly wiped her mouth.

What a shame!

Luckily, Zhao Dingli wasn’t in front of her now.

She was thinking about someone to the point of drooling.

"I... I just felt a bit thirsty and took a sip of water." Li Xiaoyun apologetically explained, "Are you done changing?"

As soon as she asked, she suddenly heard Zhao Dingli laugh.

Li Xiaoyun’s face turned red instantly.

She understood why Zhao Dingli laughed.

Hearing him change clothes made her thirsty.

Such a connection, it’s easy to think she might be thirsty because she imagined him changing clothes!

This... the thing is, it wasn’t a misunderstanding!

Li Xiaoyun buried her face in the pillow in embarrassment.

How could she be so embarrassing!

"No way!" Li Xiaoyun hurriedly explained, "Don’t misunderstand."

"What did I misunderstand?" Zhao Dingli said innocently.
