Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 911: Chapter 911: I Still Prefer You

Find a funny variety show, watch it while eating some small barbecue, paired with beer.

Life couldn’t be more delightful.

"Xiao Fei is also here now," the old lady said, "I was thinking you definitely want to have a good chat with Xiao Fei, you haven’t had the chance to talk much with her yet."

"It’s perfect that we’re all here together," the old lady said, "You, by yourself at home, are surely worried about Xiao Fei, aren’t you?"

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

The old lady’s words hit the bullseye, making Li Xiaoyun eager to go.

At this moment, she is indeed quite worried about Ye Fei.

If Ye Fei weren’t there, no matter what the old lady said, Li Xiaoyun definitely wouldn’t have any intention of going to the old house.

"So, I was thinking, you haven’t eaten yet, right?" the old lady said, "And neither has Ding Li. He’s coming back anyway, so he might as well bring you back together with him."

Li Xiaoyun felt something was off hearing the old lady’s words.

Why is it that Zhao Dingli is bringing her back for dinner?

"That’s settled then," the old lady said, not forgetting to blame Zhao Dingli, "It’s all Ding Li’s fault for neglecting something as important as you having dinner."

Li Xiaoyun was a bit dumbfounded.

Is dinner such an important thing?

"Even Mr. Zhao didn’t think of it, let alone myself," Li Xiaoyun said.

"Just because you didn’t think of it doesn’t mean Ding Li is wrong," the old lady said, "It’s settled then, have Ding Li take you back, okay!"

The old lady didn’t give Li Xiaoyun a chance to speak again and directly said, "Xiao Yun, give the phone to Ding Li, I have a few more words for him."

Li Xiaoyun couldn’t refuse anymore, so she obediently agreed with a "Okay" and handed the phone to Zhao Dingli, saying, "The old lady wants to say a few more words to you."

Zhao Dingli took the phone.

Nowadays, the phone screens are getting bigger and bigger, and so are the phones.

Normally, when two people exchange phones, the phones are big enough that they don’t touch.

Li Xiaoyun just held onto half of the phone.

I don’t know if it’s because Zhao Dingli’s fingers are too long.

His casual grab had his index and middle finger pads unexpectedly touching Li Xiaoyun’s fingertips.

Covering most of her nail.

And a small part pressed against the area near her nail.

Incredibly hot.

Li Xiaoyun’s finger trembled, feeling as if there was an electric current running through her finger.

Especially where he touched, it’s even more intense.

But it seemed like Zhao Dingli didn’t do it on purpose, because just like that, in less than a second, Zhao Dingli quickly moved his finger away.

Li Xiaoyun let go, and saw Zhao Dingli take the phone without any unusual expression on his face.

It was just an accidental touch.

Li Xiaoyun felt that she was overthinking things.

Li Xiaoyun scorned herself; she wasn’t like this before.

She wasn’t this narcissistic, thinking someone liked her just because a guy got a bit close.

She wasn’t such a fangirl, liking someone just because they looked good.

Of course, her feelings for her crush versus real-life men are definitely different.

Li Xiaoyun felt her reaction was too abnormal.

Usually, when she goes to the supermarket or gives something to a colleague.

It’s inevitable to accidentally touch or have contact.

When exchanging items, hands might accidentally brush past each other.

But she never used to overthink it.

Tonight, she was just too out of character.

Completely like a fangirl.

Taking advantage of Zhao Dingli still talking on the phone, Li Xiaoyun secretly pinched her thigh.

She could be ruthless when pinching herself, showing no mercy.

The force was especially strong.

Li Xiaoyun pinched herself so hard that tears welled up in her eyes.

Took a sharp breath.

Zhao Dingli was talking to the old lady.

But mostly it was the old lady talking, while Zhao Dingli responded with "mm hm, mm hm."

Zhao Dingli’s responses were halfhearted, and he wasn’t really focused on what the old lady was saying.

Whatever the old lady was saying, he didn’t really register.

Forgot it right after hearing, some parts weren’t even clear.

Just casually responding with "mm hm."

At the moment, Zhao Dingli’s attention was actually on Li Xiaoyun.

Seeing Li Xiaoyun’s awkward expression, with her features slightly distorted.

Zhao Dingli was very puzzled.

After hanging up, Zhao Dingli asked Li Xiaoyun, "What’s wrong?"

Li Xiaoyun squeezed out a face that wasn’t much better than crying, and said, "Nothing."

Zhao Dingli was skeptical but couldn’t see any results.

He could only say, "Shall we get in the car first? Let’s head to the old house."

This was Li Xiaoyun’s first visit to the old house.

Confusedly got in the car, feeling a bit foggy.

Even if it’s because she’s worried about Ye Fei.

How did she end up going to the old house?

Zhao Dingli drove out, and soon, Li Xiaoyun heard a continuous "beep beep," which kept sounding.

Li Xiaoyun’s mind was still a bit groggy before.

Now the sound brought her back to her senses, and she wondered, "Why is it beeping continuously?"

Zhao Dingli said, "It’s reminding you to fasten your seatbelt."

Li Xiaoyun had a sudden realization and quickly fastened her seatbelt.

She was so dazed upon getting in the car that she completely forgot about fastening her seatbelt.

Now fastening it, she felt particularly embarrassed.

How could she forget even that?

Over at the old house, the old lady hung up the call and said to Ye Fei, "Xiao Fei, I just used you to lure Xiao Yun in, I’m sorry."

Ye Fei shook her head, "It’s okay, I don’t mind."

"I just wanted to see how your Fourth Uncle and Xiao Yun get along," the old lady said.

The old lady once again took Ye Fei’s hand and whispered, "Actually, my favorite is still..."

"Ahem!" Ye Fei coughed before the old lady could say the word "you," reminding her.

It’s not Ye Fei being full of herself, but with the old lady’s track record, Ye Fei knew for sure who the "you" was meant to refer to.

No doubt about it.

So, Ye Fei stopped the old lady from saying it.

She also signaled with her eyes that Chi Jingsi was still present.

The old lady reacted too.

She definitely wasn’t going to say more, and Ye Fei understood what the old lady was about to say.

Ye Fei just kept smiling.

The old lady chuckled awkwardly and said, "In any case, I still like you more."

But she refrained from saying the word "most."

Ye Fei understood, and as for the old lady’s words, Ye Fei just took them lightly.
