Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: It’s Actually Zhao Dingli

"And also, don’t you have work to do?" Zhao Guoxian asked in exasperation.

Zhao Gushen sighed and said, "You still don’t understand my well-intended efforts."

Zhao Guoxian: "..."

Whatever.

He didn’t want to understand.

"Why don’t you have someone watch over things? I’ll call you, and you can tell me what happened in class. Even if nothing serious happened, you can still tell me about what Xiao Fei did, how she performed in class, or even if she didn’t," Zhao Gushen said earnestly.

Zhao Guoxian: "..."

He had so many choice words he wanted to share with Zhao Gushen.

Ye Fei listened to the little one animatedly recount everything.

Instead of finding Zhao Gushen annoying, she felt an indescribable warmth within.

No one has ever cared for her like Zhao Gushen.

Constantly thinking of her.

The feeling of being constantly cared for was truly wonderful, grounding her and giving her a sense of belonging.

Even though Ye Fei wasn’t in the office, Zhao Gushen knew she was at the company, which gave him a lot of motivation.

He finished his work promptly and left work on time.

As soon as Ye Fei saw Zhao Gushen, her eyes sparkled.

However, there were too many people around, and Ye Fei was too shy to be overly direct.

But when Zhao Gushen walked over, she couldn’t help but smile sweetly and actively reached out to take Zhao Gushen’s hand.

Zhao Gushen was extremely surprised: "What’s wrong with you?"

So suddenly proactive?

"Why would anything be wrong?" Ye Fei replied with a smile.

"So proactive?" Zhao Gushen whispered.

"Proactive about what!" Clearly, it was just about holding hands, but the way he said it, the tone, the words, seemed to change their meaning.

"I just feel like you suddenly really like me," Zhao Gushen asked, "Did I do something that made you like me a lot?"

"Xiao Mo told me everything," Ye Fei said.

"Told you what?" Zhao Gushen asked, puzzled.

"You clearly asked Gu Xian about my situation at school, so why are you asking me again?" Ye Fei said.

"I just want to hear your perspective, since you were there attending class, you definitely know the specifics better."

"I just feel that even though I’m going to school elsewhere, having you worried and concerned about me feels really good, very reassuring. It’s like, no matter how far I go, there’s always a haven, a home behind me. It gives my heart stability, making me feel that no matter how far I go, or wherever I might end up, I’m not afraid, nor lonely." Ye Fei said.

Zhao Gushen held Ye Fei’s hand, interlocking fingers: "Let’s go home."

"Okay." Ye Fei nodded emphatically.

Who knew that just as the two were about to take a step forward, a force pulled them back from behind?

The two turned back simultaneously and saw the little guy with a sorrowful face say, "Did you forget about me!"

Was he picked up from somewhere?

It’s one thing for dad to treat him like this, but even Xiao Fei forgot him for a moment.

It really made him sad.

"Didn’t forget, didn’t forget," Ye Fei said quickly, "We were waiting for you!"

Ye Fei hurriedly extended her other hand to the little guy.

Xiao Mo knew well that Ye Fei was just comforting him!

Xiao Fei’s skills in soothing people are just like that.

Xiao Mo held Ye Fei’s hand, feeling aggrieved.

Zhao Gushen saw that between him and Ye Fei, there was no space for Xiao Mo.

So he smugly said to Xiao Mo, "You’ll grow up one day. When you grow up, you’ll need to be independent, venture out on your own, and leave the home. So, from beginning to end, it’s me and Xiao Fei hand in hand, supporting each other until we’re old."

The little one puffed up with anger, tightly holding Ye Fei’s hand: "I can do it too!"

"Okay. You can too." Ye Fei temporarily agreed.

But inwardly, she agreed with what Zhao Gushen said.

In truth, everyone is the same.

When grown up, you leave home and then build your own little family.

The ones who truly spend their days together for the long run are the couple themselves.

"I was so good today, what reward is there for tonight?" Zhao Gushen asked Ye Fei mysteriously.

"There is." Ye Fei nodded.

Zhao Gushen listened, excitedly.

Expecting something special.

Until the evening when Ye Fei prepared a particularly sumptuous dinner for him: "Here, your reward."

Zhao Gushen: "..."

That’s not what he wanted.

***

Tonight’s dinner was eaten alone by Li Xiaoyun.

Because Zhao Dingli had social engagements.

Zhao Dingli specially arranged for the aunt to prepare dinner for Li Xiaoyun at home.

Honestly, Zhao Dingli didn’t have many social engagements.

It’s rare for him not to come back for dinner, which made Li Xiaoyun a bit unaccustomed to it.

Actually, initially, Li Xiaoyun wasn’t used to Zhao Dingli being able to come home for dinner every day.

In Li Xiaoyun’s view, someone as busy as Zhao Dingli should be constantly busy and frequently engaging in social activities.

But Zhao Dingli’s schedule was really too regular.

He works on time, clocking in and out.

Since Li Xiaoyun moved into Zhao Dingli’s house, she hasn’t seen him engage in social activities.

Gradually, Li Xiaoyun became accustomed to Zhao Dingli’s routine.

Now when Zhao Dingli really went out for social engagements, Li Xiaoyun felt unaccustomed again.

After dinner, she sat in the living room, watching TV while waiting for Zhao Dingli.

Not knowing when he would come home.

Li Xiaoyun occasionally glanced at her phone, knowing Zhao Dingli wouldn’t text her during his engagements.

She was just checking the time.

Wanting to ask when Zhao Dingli would return, but it felt strange.

She kept opening and closing the chat window with Zhao Dingli.

Repeatedly doing this.

Then suddenly, the video call ringtone rang.

Li Xiaoyun saw it was Zhao Dingli calling.

She quickly answered: "Dingli."

Hearing her voice, spoken with such closeness, Zhao Dingli’s mood lifted, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Fang Jiaying came out of the room coincidentally witnessing Zhao Dingli’s smile.

Fang Jiaying was surprised; she never imagined Zhao Dingli could smile so tenderly.

She was the marketing director at Changlin and accompanied the general manager and Zhao Dingli to the dinner party.

For Changlin’s General Manager Wu and Zhao Dingli to join for this occasion, it was because the client was from Star Stripes Country.

Changlin intended to enter Star Stripes Country’s restaurant market, but jumping in abruptly was not feasible.

They needed to cooperate with a restaurant group from Star Stripes Country, familiarize themselves with their market, and gradually operate independently.

This cooperation was very important, so Zhao Dingli came personally.

Fang Jiaying is a 32-year-old single independent woman, mature, competent, much like those independent, upwardly mobile, exceptionally capable women depicted in films.

In her impression, Zhao Dingli particularly lacked humor.

People at the company were quite afraid of him.

Even the smiles required for socializing were exceedingly formal.
