Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 905: Chapter 905: Aging Gracefully, Wow!

The whole godmother and fourth granduncle thing, those titles are a bit confusing.

"But what if it doesn’t work out and they don’t like each other? If we mention it in advance, wouldn’t that make things awkward?" Ye Fei said.

The little guy understood and nodded, "I get it."

"So, remember, before they’re actually together, make sure you don’t let it slip in front of your godmother. Otherwise, it’ll be awkward for her later," Ye Fei advised.

She just couldn’t be at ease.

The kid is smart, but his mouth is a bit too quick.

Ye Fei hasn’t forgotten that back when she wasn’t with Zhao Gushen yet,

the little guy managed to spill everything about her to Zhao Gushen.

Ye Fei didn’t even realize then that the little guy was like a little spy.

That’s why Ye Fei had to emphasize to the little guy.

"I’ve got it!" The little guy even made a zipping motion across his lips, "I definitely won’t spill the beans."

"My lips are sealed!" The little guy boasted, "Don’t worry, Xiao Fei!"

Ye Fei: "..."

Why does she still not feel at ease?

Not to mention, because of the situation with Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun.

Ye Fei’s mind was full of them, she had already forgotten all the unpleasantness that Zhuang Mingyan brought along, couldn’t even think of it.

***

While Ye Fei and the others were heading to the old residence.

Zhao Dingli was also on his way to send Li Xiaoyun home.

Li Xiaoyun wasn’t really familiar with Zhao Dingli, so being in the car was quite awkward.

While watching the competition earlier, she was so angry, she was focused on criticizing Zhuang Mingyan.

She hadn’t really talked much with Zhao Dingli.

At that time, criticizing Zhuang Mingyan was so intense that she didn’t feel awkward sitting together, not for a moment did it feel quiet.

But now it’s different.

Sitting in a car with Zhao Dingli, the scariest thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet.

He came all this way to drop her off, and she didn’t say a word, which seemed quite impolite.

Li Xiaoyun took a deep breath and said, "It’s really troublesome for you to take such a long detour to send me home."

"And during the competition today, I also gave you quite a bit of trouble," Li Xiaoyun said.

"When the security came, if it weren’t for you stepping in, I would’ve been taken away," Li Xiaoyun added.

Zhao Dingli was pondering one thing all along, did he really not mind Li Xiaoyun being noisy?

During the competition, he didn’t notice this issue.

It wasn’t until Zhao Guoxian’s reminder that he realized Li Xiaoyun had been talking nonstop beside him.

He surprisingly didn’t find Li Xiaoyun noisy at all!

However, after thinking about it, Zhao Dingli felt it might be because Li Xiaoyun was standing up for Ye Fei.

Since it was for his own family, Zhao Dingli didn’t find it bothersome.

Tonight, while sending Li Xiaoyun home, it had been quiet, Zhao Dingli lived alone and was used to the silence, so he didn’t find it unusual.

Even at work, his subordinates knew he liked quietness.

So when they were with him, they avoided speaking unless necessary.

Because of Zhao Dingli’s personality, staying silent didn’t feel awkward.

But with Li Xiaoyun, Zhao Dingli was already used to it, so he didn’t find anything amiss.

Yet now, Li Xiaoyun suddenly started talking again.

Zhao Dingli was surprised to realize he still didn’t find Li Xiaoyun noisy.

Li Xiaoyun kept talking, and he didn’t feel annoyed.

It’s just...

"Why do you keep using a formal ’you’ with me?" Zhao Dingli asked in confusion, "I’m not your elder."

"Aren’t you Xiao Mo’s fourth granduncle?" Li Xiaoyun asked.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

And so?

"I’m Xiao Mo’s godmother and Ye Fei’s friend, same generation as Ye Fei," Li Xiaoyun said, "And you’re Ye Fei’s elder, her fourth uncle."

"Though calling you uncle may be a bit of a stretch, and we’re not really relatives. But one way or another, with your seniority, you are my elder. I have to use formal language."

Zhao Dingli: "..."

For heaven’s sake, elder!

"But you really maintain yourself quite well," Li Xiaoyun laughed, "You don’t look your age at all."

Li Xiaoyun was too embarrassed to say he doesn’t look old.

She’s been in the workplace long enough to have that kind of emotional intelligence!

Li Xiaoyun never doubted Zhao Dingli’s age.

It’s just that Zhao Dingli’s seniority is too intimidating.

Moreover, those actors, male celebrities, they all maintain themselves exceptionally well.

In their forties or fifties, yet they look just about thirty.

Those actors work day and night, sleeping only three to four hours, yet they maintain themselves so well.

No reason why Zhao Dingli can’t do the same.

Besides, Zhao Dinghuan and Zhao Dinglian are examples right in front of her.

Both look quite young.

Zhao Dingli is the fourth, surely younger than Zhao Dinghuan and Zhao Dinglian.

Looks younger than them is perfectly normal.

Li Xiaoyun guessed, Zhao Dingli must be in his forties, approaching fifty.

Maintains himself really well!

Zhao Dingli: "..."

He wasn’t mad at Li Xiaoyun for talking too much.

He was angry at what she said.

Even though she didn’t say it outright, her words implied he was old!

Zhao Dingli gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, it’s just that my seniority is a bit higher and intimidating. I’m not... not that old."

At 37, he doesn’t consider himself old!

He’s in his prime, alright!

"Yes, yes, you don’t look it," Li Xiaoyun said.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

What do you mean by "don’t look it"!

I’m not!

"May I ask your age?" Zhao Dingli was exasperated but still polite.

For girls, unless they’re really young, they don’t like being asked their age.

Especially by someone they just met and aren’t familiar with.

It’s quite odd.

Those eighteen-, nineteen-, twenty-something girls always call themselves old aunts.

They don’t mind being called old.

"I’m 27," Li Xiaoyun didn’t mind at all, didn’t feel it was intrusive or offensive.

At 27, she still considers herself young.

She believes she’s in the prime of her youth.

Many people hear a woman is twenty-seven or thirty and think she’s a leftover woman.

It’s truly rude and narrow-minded.

Especially some men who claim that no matter their age, they can find young women, but women reaching a certain age have to settle?

Every time she heard such things, Li Xiaoyun would roll her eyes.

She always keeps her distance from men who say such things.

Thank you kindly, go find your young girl, see if she likes you!

Average girls at eighteen, twenty, in their prime, indeed don’t need expensive skincare or makeup to look good.
