Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101: Li Xiaoyun’s Heart Suddenly Fluttered for No Reason

She looked at Zhao Dingli with an indescribable expression, yet Zhao Dingli returned a particularly innocent look.

He was just telling the truth.

Did he say something wrong?

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

"When did you arrive?" Li Xiaoyun had to change the subject and ask.

Zhao Dingli stepped aside, letting Li Xiaoyun sit down, and said, "Just got here."

"You’re waking up at this time, it’ll be a couple of hours before it’s time for lunch. Maybe I should make you a boiled egg now to tide you over?" Mrs. Li said.

"No need, I’ll just mix some yogurt with cereal to tide me over." Li Xiaoyun said.

"That works too." Mrs. Li nodded.

Li Xiaoyun got up and went to the kitchen to find herself a glass bowl.

Although Li Xiaoyun usually doesn’t cook, she is quite particular about tableware.

She loves buying pretty bowls and plates.

At home, Mrs. Li does the cooking, and she has great culinary skills. Pair that with pretty bowls and plates, and it becomes even more enjoyable.

When Li Xiaoyun lives alone, although she doesn’t cook much, she does eat some fruits and such.

Chopping up fruits and putting them in beautiful dishware makes them look attractive too.

When she drinks a bit of wine or juice, she also prepares a variety of fancy glasses.

This habit has also been carried over to Zhao Dingli’s house.

While staying at Zhao Dingli’s place, since Zhao Dingli doesn’t usually cook at home either,

the bowls and plates at the house are quite lacking.

Li Xiaoyun loves buying these things, so she immediately picked out a lot of them on Taobao and bought them home.

The bowls and plates at her parents’ home were all bought by her, so they naturally fit her aesthetic.

The glass bowl even has the words "Good Morning" finely printed on it.

Very fitting for the occasion.

Li Xiaoyun poured some yogurt cereal into the bowl.

The yogurt cereal includes chunks of fruit-flavored yogurt and freeze-dried fruits.

This includes freeze-dried strawberries, apples, coconut flakes, and some crispy little pieces that Li Xiaoyun couldn’t even name.

Then, she poured in the milk.

She doesn’t really like drinking plain milk.

But when soaked with these freeze-dried fruits and yogurt, the milk takes on a sweet fruit flavor.

Li Xiaoyun really likes it.

Li Xiaoyun held the bowl and came back, sitting naturally next to Zhao Dingli.

Mrs. Li watched how synchronized they were and found herself liking them more and more.

"I heard from Xiaoyun that she has even been to meet your elders?" Mrs. Li asked.

"Our family’s ancestral home is my fourth uncle and aunt’s house." Zhao Dingli said, "She has been there twice, once last Saturday when my father was also there. My father is the third in his generation."

Zhao Dingli gave a detailed introduction of his family members, "My second uncle and aunt are Gu Shen’s grandparents, and Gu Shen’s father is their only child, the eldest in the family, so he is my eldest brother."

"We have a second brother and third brother who belong to the family of my eldest uncle, but my eldest uncle and aunt have passed away, so my second uncle and aunt are the oldest elders in the family. On important holidays, we all gather at their place. The ancestral home we often refer to is actually the home of my second uncle and aunt." Zhao Dingli explained.

"Both my second uncle and aunt, and my dad, have met Xiaoyun and are very fond of her." Zhao Dingli said.

"At first, the elders got to know her because of Ye Fei. Ye Fei often talks about how close she is to Xiaoyun, and even Xiao Mo frequently mentions Xiaoyun. So through Ye Fei and Xiao Mo, our family already knew Xiaoyun was a particularly nice girl."

"Later, when Xiaoyun went to watch Ye Fei’s competition, she happened to meet our family, and once we met her in person, we all really liked her." While saying this, Zhao Dingli turned to look at Li Xiaoyun.

Li Xiaoyun’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Even though Zhao Dingli said "we," Li Xiaoyun’s heart was beating unusually fast.

When Zhao Dingli looked at her while talking, it seemed like he was saying he liked her personally.

Mrs. Li, noticing the time, said, "I’ll go prepare lunch. Last night’s dinner was prepared by Ye Fei and Xiaoyun, and you, Dingli, haven’t tasted my cooking yet. You should give it a try this afternoon."

Mrs. Li also knows that Zhao Dingli is used to eating fancy food most of the time.

With so many restaurants under his wing, what delicious food hasn’t he tried?

Not to mention with Ye Fei around.

But no matter how gourmet the usual meals are, how could they replace good old home-cooked food?

So, Mrs. Li wasn’t the least bit timid about it.

Immediately after speaking, she enthusiastically got up and bustled off to the kitchen.

Mrs. Li was completely in the mindset of a mother-in-law treating her son-in-law while preparing lunch in the kitchen.

Although there were only four of them for lunch today, Mrs. Li prepared a full table of dishes.

Fortunately, she bought quite a bit yesterday.

Li Xiaoyun also bought quite a bit.

Since a lot was bought, many ingredients were left unused.

Plus, Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei brought a lot of seafood.

The lunch today was quite abundant.

After lunch, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li didn’t make Li Xiaoyun stay at home.

Usually on weekends, Li Xiaoyun would leave in the afternoon.

This way, she could go back and get some rest, recharging for the upcoming week’s work.

So after lunch, they stayed for another hour or so before Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun left.

After the two left, it was only after a while that Mr. Li pondered something seemed off: "Did Dingli come specifically to pick up Xiaoyun?"

"Yes." Mrs. Li nodded.

Isn’t that quite obvious?

"When they leave together, where could they be going?" Mr. Li asked again.

"Why do you care about where they’re going? Isn’t it good for young people to go out and date?" Mrs. Li said, "I’d say, Xiaoyun doesn’t even need to come back every week. It takes too much of her dating time."

"How is that okay? Even if she doesn’t stay at home, she should at least come back for a day to visit, right?" Mr. Li immediately said.

He misses his daughter.

"You’re just thinking about your own feelings. Don’t you consider how tiring it is for her?" Mrs. Li retorted.

If you really care for Li Xiaoyun, you’d rather see her less.

"Her job involves a lot of client meetings, and it’s more exhausting than typical work. It’s rare that she gets some time to rest, and still, she has to make the trip home." Mrs. Li said.

Mr. Li was a bit upset, "Is asking her to come home too much trouble?"

Mrs. Li pursed her lips and said, "If it were up to me, I’d rather she get more rest."

"She spends her weekends coming home and staying with us instead of going out, which makes you happy. But this way, she has no time to meet new people and expand her social circle. All these aside, now that she’s with Dingli, they should at least have some time for dates, right?"

"Young people have their own affairs to attend to. How could she keep coming back to stay with us all the time? In the future, when she gets married, are you going to insist that she comes back every week?"
