Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 914: Chapter 914: Fourth Uncle, I Really Don’t Know Anything!

Zhao Dingli: "..."

He kept feeling this little guy was doing it on purpose.

Could this little guy have guessed something?

Zhao Dingli found it strange. All he’d done was give Li Xiaoyun a ride home.

What could this little guy possibly have guessed from that?

During today’s competition, Li Xiaoyun hadn’t even had enough time to spend with the little guy.

Now that they met again, Li Xiaoyun immediately grabbed the little guy and wouldn’t let go.

"Xiao Yun, come in quickly." The old lady called out warmly.

"Madam." Li Xiaoyun greeted, "Sir."

The old lady straightened her face and said, "Why are you still being so formal? Weren’t you calling me just fine on the phone?"

Li Xiaoyun thought to herself that she’d been careless just now.

She’d taken the old lady as any ordinary elder. Wouldn’t she just naturally call her Grandma?

She was used to it.

But after hanging up, Li Xiaoyun realized.

As the Zhao Family’s madam, it didn’t seem appropriate to directly call her Grandma.

She hadn’t expected that the old lady didn’t think anything was wrong.

On the contrary, she even blamed her for being too distant.

So Li Xiaoyun went along and called, "Grandma."

Zhao Dingli: "..."

The old lady actually had the nerve to lecture him?

He didn’t think the old lady was all that smart either.

Zhao Dingli cleared his throat.

He hoped the old lady would remember that the seniority here wasn’t quite right.

The old lady truly didn’t remember.

She just pulled Li Xiaoyun in to sit.

After greeting the elders one by one, Li Xiaoyun looked over at Ye Fei.

Here, she was most familiar with Ye Fei. When the old lady asked her to sit, Li Xiaoyun naturally went to sit beside Ye Fei.

When Zhao Dingli glanced over, he saw there was no empty seat next to Li Xiaoyun.

Besides, even if there was, if he walked straight over and sat down, it would be a little abrupt and too strange.

Right now, in the family, aside from Zhao Dingye’s family and Third Master, everyone was here.

The old master and old lady hadn’t notified Zhao Dingye’s family at all.

They didn’t even approve of Ye Fei, and now there was another Li Xiaoyun.

There was no way they’d approve of her either.

If they came, they’d only ruin the mood, nothing else.

So the old master and old lady didn’t tell them.

Besides, Zhao Dingye’s family hadn’t even gone to watch Ye Fei’s competition.

And they should specially invite them over for dinner?

Who had that much free time!

As for Third Master, it was because his legs weren’t convenient.

Otherwise, Third Master would definitely have come.

Zhao Dingli thought it over and finally sat opposite Li Xiaoyun.

Just by lifting his head he could see her. It was quite a good spot.

And it wouldn’t interfere with Ye Fei and Li Xiaoyun chatting.

Before Li Xiaoyun could ask, Ye Fei said to her, "Don’t worry about me, I’m really fine now."

"From the end of the competition until now, everyone at home has been keeping me company, chatting with me, talking about all kinds of things. With everyone chiming in, I’d long since walked out of the mood I was in during the competition." Ye Fei told Li Xiaoyun.

"Besides, there’s no way Gushen would just stand by and watch me get bullied for nothing. He’s still going to stand up for me." Ye Fei said, "The competition’s already over; the result can’t be changed. If I keep dwelling on it, I’m only making myself unhappy and making everyone who cares about me worry along with me."

"So as far as I’m concerned, it’s already over. I’m not affected. Even if I didn’t get any award, it’s enough that the netizens acknowledge me." Ye Fei said.

Li Xiaoyun knew Ye Fei very well, just as Ye Fei knew her.

Seeing Ye Fei like this now, she truly didn’t care anymore.

Li Xiaoyun also let out a breath of relief.

She really felt that coming this time had been the right decision.

Only after seeing Ye Fei with her own eyes could she be at ease.

Otherwise, once she went back, she wouldn’t even be able to sleep.

Just then, dinner was ready as well.

Aunt Lin came out to let them know, and everyone went to the dining room together.

The dining table was round, and the seating was naturally arranged according to seniority.

There was no deliberate arrangement, but everyone shared this understanding.

As a guest and also the younger generation, Li Xiaoyun figured she’d just wait until everyone was seated and then take whatever seat was left.

Anyway, even if she wasn’t sitting next to Ye Fei, she’d probably be next to the little guy.

Either way would be comfortable.

Zhao Dinghuan and Chi Jingsi sat on the old master’s left, and on the old master’s right sat the old lady.

On the old lady’s right were Zhao Dinglian and Lin Ligge.

Originally, by seniority, it should have been Zhao Dingli sitting next to Lin Ligge, with Zhao Guoxian next to him.

But Zhao Guoxian was unusually quick-witted tonight and directly sat next to Lin Ligge, pushing Zhao Dingli down a seat.

As for Zhao Gushen and Ye Fei, they naturally sat next to Chi Jingsi.

The little guy sat right beside Ye Fei.

In this way, the empty spot happened to be between the little guy and Zhao Dingli.

The old lady saw it and thought this seating arrangement was excellent.

Even though no one had discussed it beforehand and everyone just sat according to tacit understanding.

But their tacit understanding was just that good. As they sat, they ended up arranging the seats for Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun together.

The little guy sat there, itching to move.

Ye Fei secretly poked the little guy, telling him not to be too naughty.

And so, Li Xiaoyun ended up sitting with Zhao Dingli.

Tonight’s dinner was all prepared by Aunt Lin.

Although Aunt Lin’s cooking couldn’t compare to Ye Fei’s, it was still very good.

Especially since she’d learned quite a bit from Ye Fei, her cooking had improved.

The old lady said to Li Xiaoyun, "Don’t treat us like outsiders, we’re all family here."

Li Xiaoyun didn’t carefully mull over the old lady’s words, she just smiled and agreed.

She hadn’t eaten more than a few bites when the old lady asked, "Xiao Yun, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty-seven." Li Xiaoyun said.

The old lady did a quick calculation; she and Zhao Dingli weren’t that far apart in age.

Ten years wasn’t a problem.

But the old lady still said, "Oh my, our Guoxian is also twenty-seven. You two are the same age. What month is your birthday?"

When Zhao Dingli heard this, he wondered what the old lady meant by that.

Was she now trying to matchmake Zhao Guoxian and Li Xiaoyun?

Instinctively, Zhao Dingli turned his head to look at Zhao Guoxian.

Zhao Guoxian was holding a walnut bun.

The walnut bun was very soft. Splitting it open with both hands, the sesame filling inside was still scorching hot, letting out steam.

It smelled wonderfully fragrant.

Just as Zhao Dingli looked over, he had only just stuffed half a walnut bun into his mouth.

The sesame filling was so hot it had him huffing and puffing.

Then he heard the old lady’s words and saw Zhao Dingli looking over, and he immediately panicked.

He wanted to explain, but his mouth was still full, and it was burning hot on top of that, so he couldn’t get a word out.

He was so anxious his face turned red.

"Eat slower." Zhao Dingli picked up Zhao Guoxian’s glass of cola and handed it over.

Zhao Guoxian: "..."

He was even more horrified, okay?

Since when was Fourth Uncle this considerate!

Zhao Guoxian took the cola, but didn’t drink.

Cola with walnut buns—what kind of taste would that be? It’d be so sweet it’d make him choke.

He finally swallowed that half of the walnut bun, then hurriedly shook his head at Zhao Guoxian and whispered, "Fourth Uncle, I really don’t know anything!"
