Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: I Don’t Believe You at All

It’s true that he has quite a few cars, and Zhao Dingli vaguely remembers he has a Tesla.

Whether it’s this one, he couldn’t recognize it at the moment.

Plus, the lighting in the evening isn’t bright enough, making it really hard to identify.

The license plate number and such...

He’s forgotten them long ago.

At this time, he heard General Manager Wu say: "President, did you ask Liu Minghao to pick you up, or should I call a car for you to go home?"

At this moment, the door of the Tesla parked by the roadside opened.

Zhao Dingli saw Li Xiaoyun get out of the car.

The originally expressionless face of Zhao Dingli immediately showed a smile, as he looked at Li Xiaoyun.

Although General Manager Wu had seen Li Xiaoyun before, it was only once.

Especially now that it’s nighttime, making it not so clear.

But General Manager Wu reacted quickly.

Seeing that the person getting out was a young lady who made Zhao Dingli smile.

It could only be Li Xiaoyun for sure.

General Manager Wu immediately said, "So Miss Li came to pick you up. Miss Li is really considerate."

Zhao Dingli looked touched: "Indeed, I didn’t want her to come, it’s already so late, and I worry about her going out alone. But she is concerned about me and insisted on coming."

General Manager Wu: "..."

Haha!

I don’t believe you at all!

Everyone in the company knows you’re still single, right?

If you’re still single, it means you haven’t succeeded in your pursuits.

Otherwise, with Zhao Dingli’s personality, if he had succeeded, he would have already announced it throughout the company.

How could it be that now, he’s secretly saying it?

If you have the guts, wait until Li Xiaoyun comes over and say it in front of her!

You just wouldn’t dare!

General Manager Wu expressed that he had long seen through Zhao Dingli!

Li Xiaoyun originally just wanted to wait by the roadside.

Feeling awkward to come over, in case they’re discussing serious business.

But seeing both Zhao Dingli and General Manager Wu looking over, Li Xiaoyun couldn’t just stay back.

She smiled, then walked forward, took a couple of steps, and noticed a gaze.

It was from the woman next to Zhao Dingli.

Even though she was looking over like Zhao Dingli and General Manager Wu.

Li Xiaoyun keenly sensed the difference in her gaze.

While Zhao Dingli and General Manager Wu’s gazes were kind, making her feel comfortable.

But that woman’s gaze carried a very strict scrutiny.

Seemed disdainful of her, as if judging her in her mind.

Usually in business meetings, when seeing clients, Li Xiaoyun was quite sensitive to these things.

First, she had to determine the other party’s perception, whether it’s good intentions or bad, to decide how to respond next.

This has nearly become Li Xiaoyun’s instinct engraved in her bones.

No need for special research, she could always sense and judge them first thing.

Moreover, she had never made mistakes before.

Not to mention, Fang Jiaying’s gaze now was too obvious.

Even showing her inner resentment clearly and straightforwardly in her eyes.

Li Xiaoyun walked up to Zhao Dingli, and he said: "When did you arrive? I’ve been checking my phone, afraid of missing your message. But I haven’t received anything from you."

Li Xiaoyun nodded to General Manager Wu in greeting, completely ignored Fang Jiaying, and then answered Zhao Dingli’s question: "I was afraid of disturbing your social engagement, so I waited in the car. Anyway, when you come out, I’ll see you."

Noticing Zhao Dingli’s expression of disapproval.

Since spending quite some time with Zhao Dingli.

Now Li Xiaoyun could already discern Zhao Dingli’s general thoughts just from his expressions without him speaking.

So, without waiting for Zhao Dingli to speak, Li Xiaoyun said first: "I’m just sitting in the car with the air conditioning on, not tired or hungry. If I messaged you, you’d probably interrupt your unfinished business and leave, wouldn’t you?"

"Of course." Zhao Dingli replied without thinking, he indeed would do so.

Seeing his resolute and quick response, Li Xiaoyun froze for a moment.

But looking at Zhao Dingli’s expression, Li Xiaoyun could tell he was sincere.

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Thank goodness she didn’t send Zhao Dingli a message.

Otherwise, if Zhao Dingli really interrupted and came out, disrupting his social engagement, if it got severe and the business deal fell through.

How could Li Xiaoyun reconcile with herself?

"I’m leaving first." Zhao Dingli said.

"You take care." General Manager Wu hastily said, then to Li Xiaoyun, "Miss Li, drive safely."

Using "you" formally, Li Xiaoyun’s scalp tingled for a moment.

Li Xiaoyun quickly said: "I will, we’re off then."

Afterwards, Li Xiaoyun continued to ignore Fang Jiaying.

Turning and walking with Zhao Dingli, Li Xiaoyun suddenly felt strange.

Just distracted by Fang Jiaying, she hadn’t realized.

Thinking now, Zhao Dingli spoke clearly, walked steadily, not at all like he was drunk.

Little did she know, Li Xiaoyun just thought this, only to hear Zhao Dingli beside her say: "Xiao Yun, please help me."

"Huh?" Li Xiaoyun turned, looking at Zhao Dingli curiously.

Just seeing Zhao Dingli appearing fine, yet suddenly leaned closer to her, tight against her arm.

Li Xiaoyun instinctively held onto his arm: "What’s wrong?"

Zhao Dingli smiled wryly: "Didn’t I mention on the phone that I’d had too much to drink? Now I’m a bit unsteady, afraid I’ll stagger and embarrass myself."

"Huh? I just saw you standing steadily, not at all like you were drunk." Li Xiaoyun exclaimed.

Zhao Dingli thought, luckily he was thoughtful.

Li Xiaoyun really was suspicious.

But if Li Xiaoyun could tell, could it still be Zhao Dingli?

Then Zhao Dingli said: "It’s because of Wu and the others around, I had to maintain my image in front of them. So I’ve been enduring all along. Actually, I’m really unsteady now. Any longer, I’d reveal my state."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyun hurriedly held Zhao Dingli more firmly.

"You’re really..." Li Xiaoyun admired him, "You even fooled me, I thought you were perfectly fine."

"Hold onto my arm." Zhao Dingli said, "That way, to them it’ll seem like you’re holding onto me, not that I’m drunk and you’re helping me."

Now Li Xiaoyun couldn’t think of anything else.

Upon hearing Zhao Dingli say this, she hurriedly followed suit.

Holding onto him lightly wasn’t supportive enough.

Li Xiaoyun straightforwardly just wrapped his arm around her.

Zhao Dingli could clearly feel her holding his arm, the strength she applied.

Zhao Dingli thought with a smile, Li Xiaoyun truly was an honest person.

Right now, Zhao Dingli had all sorts of thoughts, just not the guilt of deceiving Li Xiaoyun.

While General Manager Wu, silently watching Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun’s backs, sighed in his heart.
