Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 912: Chapter 912: The Scene Plays Out in My Mind

Who doesn’t know the old lady’s little useless skills by now?

I’m sure Chi Jingsi is well aware of it too.

From Chi Jingsi’s expression right now, you can see.

Ye Fei casually said, "Grandma, I know."

Chi Jingsi felt it was really unbearable to watch.

This is clearly a mutual act of being miserable.

Li Xiaoyun is not a shy girl.

Earlier, she spent a lot of time with Zhao Dingli.

They talked downstairs at home for a while. Although not particularly familiar, they were not so awkward that chatting was embarrassing.

The journey to the old estate took even longer than going to Li Xiaoyun’s home.

During this trip, they chatted quite a bit.

Li Xiaoyun gradually relaxed.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Dingli is also quite a talkative person.

Zhao Dingli even talked about her company and work.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the gate of the old estate.

Zhao Dingli got out of the car and opened the door for Li Xiaoyun.

They rang the bell at the gate of the old estate, and soon Housekeeper Hong opened the door.

Zhao Dingli then led Li Xiaoyun inside.

Originally, Housekeeper Hong thought he needed to welcome them.

After all, it was Li Xiaoyun’s first visit to the old estate.

But it seemed too formal, and the old lady worried it might pressure Li Xiaoyun or scare her.

So they decided to keep things natural.

That’s why Housekeeper Hong didn’t come out to greet them.

Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun walked through the courtyard of the old estate.

The lighting in the garden at night was well arranged.

Because it is a classical garden, at night it would appear quite spooky without sufficient lighting.

Especially the rock formations in the garden, under the moonlight, become even more shadowy.

Walking through them alone was really quite scary.

Therefore, the garden lights are always sufficiently bright at night in the old estate.

Especially when the little ones live in the old estate, they love to play outside.

They definitely couldn’t let the little ones get scared.

But even with this, someone has to accompany them.

Walking alone here could be quite frightening.

The main problem is that the garden is too large, walking alone here at night can make someone anxious.

Anyway, Li Xiaoyun was feeling a bit anxious at this time.

Even knowing this was the old estate, there was nothing to fear.

But she couldn’t stop herself from imagining things.

However, Li Xiaoyun felt embarrassed to walk too close to Zhao Dingli.

It was like taking advantage of him, making it awkward.

But Li Xiaoyun wasn’t thinking, she was just a girl, who would really be taking advantage?

Li Xiaoyun could only try to walk as close to Zhao Dingli as possible.

They kept a distance of one fist between them, going no further.

At this moment, Zhao Dingli said, "Hungry?"

Li Xiaoyun shook her head and said, "Not hungry, honestly not at all."

"I was careless earlier. If it wasn’t for the old lady’s reminder, I wouldn’t have realized it." Zhao Dingli said. "It’s quite late, I didn’t think you might be hungry as well."

Li Xiaoyun saw Zhao Dingli was genuinely remorseful and said, "Actually, I’m really not hungry. I was even thinking of going home, ordering takeout and enjoying it while watching a variety show, very comfortably."

"What kind of takeout did you plan to order?" Zhao Dingli thought that whatever Li Xiaoyun wanted, Aunt Lin could prepare it for dinner.

"Barbecue." Li Xiaoyun said, "Drinking beer while eating barbecue, then watching comedy shows, it’s very relaxing."

After saying this, Li Xiaoyun felt a bit embarrassed and scratched her head, "That’s usually what I do."

Zhao Dingli could picture it in his mind.

Though not knowing what Li Xiaoyun’s home looks like, he envisioned her curled on a sofa, eating, drinking, and watching TV.

It’s very ordinary and plain, yet also warm.

But it’s unlikely that Li Xiaoyun will get her barbecue tonight.

Zhao Dingli thought with some regret.

"What shows do you normally like to watch?" Zhao Dingli then asked.

Without realizing it, both of them noticed that Zhao Dingli was leading the conversation.

Typically uninterested in women, now he seemed to have endless questions to ask, wanting to understand her.

"I normally like watching light and funny things. Whether it’s dramas, movies, or variety shows, I just like watching relaxed, mindless entertainment." Li Xiaoyun said.

"After all, work pressure is already intense enough. At work, you have to beware of office traps and handle clients." Li Xiaoyun said, "You have to be cautious, and it’s mentally exhausting."

In the workplace, you can’t say there aren’t good colleagues.

But even if there’s one or two bad ones in a department, it can be a headache.

Who knows what they’re thinking, always doing harmful things with no gain.

Digging traps for others to fall into, even if they do, there’s no benefit for themselves, yet they revel in it.

If digging a trap meant a promotion or bonus, Li Xiaoyun would understand.

But there’s no benefit, acting like palace politics, what’s the point?

"It’s not just work, but also various miscellaneous things in life. All in all, people face all kinds of difficulties. It’s better to relax whenever possible, rather than using leisure time to watch things that make you upset."

Li Xiaoyun smiled: "That’s why I don’t watch shows or movies that are heavy, emotionally draining, or overly dramatic. Watching them only makes me feel worse."

Life doesn’t offer many outlets for frustration.

Finally getting some rest, then watching depressing things, it’s even more distressing.

Zhao Dingli smiled and said, "Do colleagues often cause trouble at work?"

Li Xiaoyun didn’t expect Zhao Dingli to ask so specifically.

But she didn’t think much of it, saying: "That’s just the way it is in the workplace; everyone encounters these things. There’s no company that’s entirely smooth, and it’s actually no big deal."

"Once you go out to work, you have to face them. Even without colleague issues, there’s supervisors, clients, all sorts of unpleasantness." Li Xiaoyun said.

Zhao Dingli nodded.

He really hadn’t experienced it; after all, he was the boss.

However, he also faced other troubles.

He has his own pressures.

Thinking about this, he heard Li Xiaoyun laugh and say, "You see, it’s not just me facing these troubles, you must too."

"Me?" Zhao Dingli didn’t expect Li Xiaoyun to say that.

"I think compared to me, who has to deal with colleagues, bosses, and client troubles, you may not have a boss but you have company performance issues, business difficulties, and so on."
