Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1100: How Long Have We Been Apart?

Chapter 1100: Chapter 1100: How Long Have We Been Apart?

This single sentence blocked all the explanations Li Xiaoyun wanted to make.

Zhao Dingli just smiled and didn’t specify why he was smiling.

She understood Zhao Dingli thought she was craving his body.

How was she supposed to explain such a truth?

Li Xiaoyun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked back, "Then why are you smiling?"

Zhao Dingli was momentarily stunned, thinking to himself this little girl has become clever now.

She can even turn defense into offense.

"Just..." Zhao Dingli laughed twice, "I like listening to you talk. As long as you’re talking, I can’t help but feel really good and want to laugh."

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Uh-oh, she wasn’t sleepy in the first place.

Now chatting with Zhao Dingli, she was even less sleepy.

Li Xiaoyun even had the thought that she should have gone back with Zhao Dingli tonight.

Staying in her own bedroom now, Li Xiaoyun actually felt a bit unaccustomed.

Li Xiaoyun continued chatting with Zhao Dingli like this.

Neither of them realized how long they’d been talking.

Finally, they fell asleep unknowingly.

Li Xiaoyun didn’t check the time, but Zhao Dingli did.

When he heard Li Xiaoyun’s voice gradually fading on the phone, Zhao Dingli softly called, "Xiao Yun?"

"Mm?" Li Xiaoyun’s voice, heavy with sleepiness, came from the phone, as if she was already in dreamland.

She only responded unconsciously because someone called her.

Zhao Dingli smiled slightly, listened a bit more to confirm Li Xiaoyun was indeed asleep.

Thinking how great it would be if he was by her side, to help her move the phone away.

Zhao Dingli glanced at the time on his phone, it was almost three o’clock.

He wasn’t going to lie; he was starting to feel a bit sleepy.

Hearing the breathing on the other end of the phone, Zhao Dingli was reluctant to hang up.

Sleeping to the sound of Li Xiaoyun’s breathing felt nice.

Thinking about it, well, voice calls on WeChat don’t charge fees anyway, just data.

Li Xiaoyun was using wifi at home, so no data was being consumed.

The only thing being wasted was battery life.

Zhao Dingli thought it didn’t matter if some battery power was wasted.

After all, he could just charge it at home.

So, Zhao Dingli reached for the charging cable by the bed.

He had directly connected a charging cable to the outlet near his bed.

This way, at night when on bed, whether it’s the phone or tablet, he could plug it in directly when the battery was low, without any delay.

So at this moment, Zhao Dingli reached out and pulled the charging cable over.

It was especially convenient.

Charging the phone while using it meant there was no need to worry about it suddenly running out of power, missing Li Xiaoyun’s breathing.

More audaciously, Zhao Dingli even reached to open the drawer of his bedside table.

He took out the Bluetooth earphone charging box inside.

Opening the lid, he took out the Bluetooth earphones.

The earphones automatically connected to the phone’s Bluetooth.

Zhao Dingli, unbothered by any discomfort, put on the earphones.

Soon, Li Xiaoyun’s breathing became even clearer.

Zhao Dingli smiled contentedly and finally started to fall asleep.

Though Li Xiaoyun was a bit restless in her own bed, unable to fall asleep for a while at night.

But since it was so late.

When morning came, she couldn’t wake up early.

Anyway, it was Sunday, so Li Xiaoyun relaxedly slept in.

Normally, at Zhao Dingli’s place, they’d wake up late on weekends.

But Li Xiaoyun would still consider her image a bit, embarrassed to sleep until noon, so she’d normally wake up around 9 or 10 o’clock.

Now at her parents’ house, Li Xiaoyun slept in boldly and relaxedly.

But as she slept, she heard voices outside.

Obviously, the voices outside were restrained, as if afraid to wake her up.

So the speaking tone wasn’t loud, sometimes even intermittent.

In her half-asleep state, Li Xiaoyun heard voices that weren’t just Mr. and Mrs. Li.

It seemed like there were guests at home.

Li Xiaoyun gradually woke up, not able to sleep anymore.

She reached for her phone, only to find it was just after 10, earlier than she thought.

Li Xiaoyun rubbed her face and got up.

Luckily her bedroom had a bathroom attached.

Although small, it was quite convenient.

Li Xiaoyun went in to wash up, knowing there were guests, she changed out of her pajamas.

Li Xiaoyun was quite curious, were there any guests at home?

Hopefully, Mrs. Li didn’t invite any blind date candidates home.

Li Xiaoyun got ready, changed clothes, and left the bedroom.

Originally thinking they were guests, she was surprised to hear a familiar voice as she exited.

Without even seeing the person, Li Xiaoyun knew it was Zhao Dingli.

She was surprised to see, sure enough, Zhao Dingli sitting on the sofa, chatting with Mr. and Mrs. Li.

Even Mr. Li seemed very familiar with Zhao Dingli.

The three of them chatted so warmly, as if they’d known each other for a long time.

"Xiao Yun, you’re up this early?" Zhao Dingli was the first to see Li Xiaoyun, and he smiled as he said it.

"It’s not early." Making it sound like she usually woke up very late.

Mrs. Li looked at them both curiously.

Why did Zhao Dingli sound like he knew when Li Xiaoyun usually got up?

Mr. Li was even quicker than Mrs. Li, immediately asking, "How come you seem to know when Xiao Yun usually gets up?"

Li Xiaoyun tensed up immediately, nervously winking at Zhao Dingli behind her parents’ backs, pleading silently for him not to spill the beans.

Zhao Dingli calmly smiled slightly and explained, "I was thinking, since today is Sunday, when I’m home on rest days, I wake up later, so I figured Xiao Yun might do the same."

"That’s true." Mrs. Li agreed with a smile.

Zhao Dingli then asked a bit guiltily, "Did I wake you?"

"No." Li Xiaoyun shook her head, "I woke up naturally."

Zhao Dingli slightly frowned, "You’ve only slept for 7 hours, how come you woke up naturally?"

Even Mrs. Li reacted quickly this time, "How do you know Xiao Yun only slept for 7 hours?"

Both she and Mr. Li didn’t know that.

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Zhao Dingli explained, "I was on a call with Xiao Yun last night. We talked and she fell asleep. I checked the time then, it was almost three o’clock."

"Oh my!" Mrs. Li’s face was full of delight.

She couldn’t help but look at Li Xiaoyun, her thoughts written all over her face, unable to conceal them.

If this isn’t a romantic relationship, what is?

How long have they been apart anyway?

Zhao Dingli only went back last night.

How many hours was that?

The two were already on a phone call, and talked until three o’clock.

Just how much did they have to talk about to chat for so long!

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Seeing Mrs. Li’s reaction, Li Xiaoyun knew exactly what Mrs. Li was thinking.
