Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 922: Chapter 922: Had to Come Over

"Possible." Zhao Gushen speculated.

"By the timing, Fourth Uncle should have sent Xiao Yun home by now." Ye Fei glanced at the time.

Unless Zhao Dingli has come up with a new trick for Li Xiaoyun on the way?

"We’ll know once I answer the call." Zhao Gushen said.

Ye Fei waited expectantly beside him.

He saw Zhao Gushen pick up the phone: "Fourth Uncle?"

"Xiao Shen." Zhao Dingli asked, "Are you asleep yet?"

Before Zhao Gushen could answer, Zhao Dingli said, "It’s only a little after 10, you guys surely aren’t asleep yet."

Zhao Gushen: "..."

What do you mean it’s only just after 10?

Shouldn’t it be already after 10?

"We’re already curled up in bed, drinking wine, preparing to watch a movie and then sleep." Meaning whatever it is, let’s discuss it tomorrow.

Zhao Gushen felt that the intention behind Zhao Dingli’s question wasn’t what he wanted to hear.

"So you’re not asleep yet, as expected." Zhao Dingli only heard what he wanted to hear, and was instantly happy.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Could you please listen to the earlier part?

"Then if I come over to your place now, I definitely won’t be disturbing you, right?" Zhao Dingli said eagerly.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

"It’s a bit late now." Zhao Gushen said with difficulty, hoping he wouldn’t come.

"But you aren’t asleep yet." Zhao Dingli insisted.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

"Hold on." Zhao Gushen covered the phone and whispered to Ye Fei, "Fourth Uncle is insistent on coming over for some reason."

"Are you sleepy? By the time he arrives, it’ll probably be at least half an hour or up to an hour." Zhao Gushen said, "Otherwise I’ll tell him to come tomorrow."

"It’s fine." Ye Fei grabbed Zhao Gushen’s wrist, "I also want to ask him how things are going with Xiao Yun. Let him come over."

The little guy immediately perked up too, "I’m not sleepy either. Let Great Uncle come!"

Seeing Ye Fei and the little guy looking so expectant, Zhao Gushen felt helpless.

So he picked up the phone again and told Zhao Dingli: "Alright, come on over, then."

Zhao Dingli was waiting for those words.

In fact, he was already on his way.

"Okay, wait for me." Zhao Dingli said.

He hung up the phone.

Zhao Gushen looked at the wine and snacks already laid out and felt particularly warm.

But thinking of Zhao Dingli coming over, he couldn’t feel warm anymore.

"Estimating that there’s some time before Fourth Uncle arrives, should we watch for a bit first?" Zhao Gushen suggested.

Since everything was prepared, Ye Fei nodded, "Alright."

So Zhao Gushen poured red wine for him and Ye Fei, and milk for the little guy.

They watched for just about 20 minutes when the doorbell rang.

Ye Fei looked dumbfoundedly at Zhao Gushen, "That fast?"

Ye Fei knew where Li Xiaoyun’s house was.

When Zhao Dingli called, it was a little after 10, not really late.

The nightlife in B City had just started.

There were still plenty of cars on the road.

The road was still congested.

Even without traffic, it normally takes 40 minutes to drive over.

Let alone including traffic.

Yet Zhao Dingli got here in 20 minutes?

That’s not logical.

"I’ll get the door." Zhao Gushen sighed and said.

Ye Fei also paused the movie and packed up the drinks and snacks, bringing them to the living room with the little guy.

Just in time to see Zhao Dingli entering.

Hearing Zhao Gushen ask, "How did you get here so quickly?"

"Oh, I called you while I was on the way. Actually, when I called, I was already almost there." Zhao Dingli said.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Just confident that they would definitely let him come over.

"Come in and have a seat." Zhao Gushen said.

Zhao Dingli feigned politeness, "Sorry to disturb your rest."

Zhao Gushen nodded, "Indeed you did, otherwise the three of us would be watching a movie now."

Listening to you chat?

Such a wonderful night, ruined by Zhao Dingli.

"No worries, I’ll stay just a short while, then you can resume." Zhao Dingli said.

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Heh.

"Fourth Uncle, what exactly do you want?" Zhao Gushen asked.

Zhao Dingli had already settled in the living room, the little guy politely greeted, "Great Uncle."

Hearing this, Zhao Dingli was reminded of the time at the old residence.

He felt uneasy all of a sudden.

But he couldn’t prevent the little guy from calling him that.

If not that, then what?

The little guy pretended to be troubled.

"Xiao Mo, could you, when calling your godmother, stop addressing me as Great Uncle? And if you call me Great Uncle, stop calling her godmother." Zhao Dingli suggested to the little guy.

"Why? If not this, then what should I call you?" The little guy asked defiantly.

He clearly knew what Zhao Dingli meant.

But he just wouldn’t say it.

"I’m not asking you to change what you call us, just choose one person to call." Zhao Dingli said.

The little guy shook his head, indicating he didn’t understand.

Ye Fei knew the little guy was doing it on purpose, and asked Zhao Dingli, "Fourth Uncle, you and Xiao Yun..."

"The girl is quite interesting." Zhao Dingli said.

Ye Fei blinked, what did that mean?

"Interesting? Just like that?" Zhao Gushen said, "You’ve never before found any girl interesting, nor have you offered any a ride home."

"During the competition today, when she was cheering from the audience, you didn’t find her annoying either." Zhao Gushen reminded him.

Zhao Dingli nodded without any denial, "It’s true, I found it quite odd myself."

Ye Fei frowned slightly and said seriously, "Fourth Uncle, so you are approaching Xiao Yun just because you find it odd?"

"I wouldn’t say approaching, it’s more like naturally interacting." Zhao Dingli was taken aback and said, "Getting to know her and understanding what I’m really feeling."

Ye Fei calmed herself before saying seriously, "Fourth Uncle, I suggest you figure out your feelings before getting to know her."

"Isn’t there a difference?" Zhao Dingli was puzzled.

"Fourth Uncle, I think you know you’re quite popular yourself, don’t you?" Ye Fei said.

Zhao Dingli stayed silent.

He didn’t deny it.

But also didn’t want to admit it, thinking it made him seem thick-skinned.

After all, he’s nothing like Zhao Gushen.

"Maybe." Zhao Dingli ambiguously said, "At least when the family introduced girls to me before, they seemed satisfied, none said they weren’t."

During school, he received love letters and was confessed to by girls.

"Although you’re a bit older, Fourth Uncle." Ye Fei said.
