Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

The group chats are even fewer; the only ones not set to mute are the sixty-fourth group and the Zhao Family group.

So upon hearing the notification sound, Zhao Dingli immediately took out his phone to check.

Seeing it was a message from Li Xiaoyun, Zhao Dingli even chuckled, thinking Li Xiaoyun was really improving.

Having just parted not long ago, Li Xiaoyun actually took the initiative to WeChat him.

Then he looked at the content Li Xiaoyun sent.

She’s confirmed for a promotion.

This was something Zhao Dingli had expected for a long time.

With Li Xiaoyun’s capabilities and his support.

As long as the decision-makers were sane, they would definitely choose Li Xiaoyun.

Besides Li Xiaoyun, no one else is suitable.

Zhao Dingli immediately replied to her: "Congratulations."

"Let’s celebrate tonight. What do you want to eat?" Zhao Dingli asked, "No need to rush to answer me. You have a whole day to think about it. Once you’ve decided what you want, let me know, and I’ll book a restaurant."

After all, the restaurants under Changping almost cover all the cuisines of the country.

No matter what Li Xiaoyun wants to eat, the restaurants under Changping can fulfill it.

Even if, by the time he picks up Li Xiaoyun at night, she only thinks of what she wants to eat in the car.

He can still ensure that there’s a table for him and Li Xiaoyun in the restaurant.

"Okay." Li Xiaoyun readily agreed.

This is indeed something worth celebrating.

"Now that you’re replying to my WeChat, have you already arrived at the office?" Li Xiaoyun only now remembered to ask.

"Just arrived, in the parking lot." Zhao Dingli reported his location in detail.

"Then I won’t disturb you." Li Xiaoyun quickly said.

After the two ended the chat, Zhao Dingli still didn’t get out of the car immediately.

He looked at the thermal container on his leg, thinking of how Zhao Gushen used to flaunt his wife-made meals every day.

Zhao Dingli squinted his eyes.

Then, Zhao Dingli also snapped a picture, sending it directly to Zhao Gushen.

But besides sending the photo, he didn’t say anything else.

Upon seeing the photo, Zhao Gushen’s little head raised three big question marks.

What’s Zhao Dingli up to now?

Carrying the thermal container, Zhao Dingli got out of the car and entered the company.

All the way, the company’s employees greeted him.

Zhao Dingli could only nod slightly, unable to respond to each one.

Then he looked down at his phone again.

It took quite a while before he received Zhao Gushen’s reply: "???"

Zhao Dingli: "..."

Chatting with Zhao Gushen is really no fun.

Zhao Gushen is just pretending to be confused on purpose!

Zhao Dingli then said, "You and your wife called late at night, causing us a lot of lost sleep. Xiao Yun even got up at 5 a.m. just to make soup for me."

The boastful tone was indeed quite strong.

Sitting in his office, Zhao Gushen raised an eyebrow and directly screenshotted the chat, sending it to the old lady.

Zhao Gushen: "Grandma, look, Uncle is starting to show off. I guess he and Li Xiaoyun are getting serious."

The same message was also sent to the third old man.

He added another line: "There’s already love soup, you better ask Fourth Uncle more about how far he’s come."

If no one else knows, he certainly does!

Zhao Dingli hasn’t even succeeded yet, and he’s already in a hurry to show off.

He’s going to let the third old man go tease Zhao Dingli.

The third old man asks Zhao Dingli, did you manage to woo Li Xiaoyun yet?

Let’s see how Zhao Dingli will respond.

What?

Haven’t succeeded yet?

Useless!

The third old man: "!!!"

Yesterday, when he called Zhao Dingli, he said she wasn’t his girlfriend yet.

But today there’s love soup?

Did this kid lie to him?

Zhao Dingli doesn’t know that Zhao Gushen is busy sending messages to the elders to mess with him.

He thought Zhao Gushen’s long delay in replying was because he was overwhelmed by the love soup, feeling incredibly envious, jealous, and unable to immediately respond.

Not until he entered the elevator did he finally get Zhao Gushen’s reply: "You actually made Li Xiaoyun get up so early, sacrificing her sleep to make soup for you? Do you have any conscience?"

"I’ve never been willing to let my Ye Fei do such things for me," Zhao Gushen said, "Ye Fei makes me love-filled lunches, but only if it doesn’t sacrifice her rest time."

Zhao Gushen earnestly lectured Zhao Dingli: "Fourth Uncle, wives are meant to be pampered and loved, not to treat them like maids! Do you not have the money to hire a maid, making Li Xiaoyun work so hard? I can’t bear to see it!"

"Letting her do these things for you before you’ve even won her over, and if you do, will you make her work even harder? This is not right, I’m telling you!" Zhao Gushen said.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

This brat!

I was trying to show off, who said I treat Li Xiaoyun as a maid!

With Zhao Gushen stirring things up, Zhao Dingli lost the mood to flaunt!

Zhao Dingli grudgingly explained, "I’ve already told Xiao Yun not to do that again. No matter how much she likes me or cares for me, she shouldn’t sacrifice her rest time."

"I believe the first part, but the second part, did you really say that?" Zhao Gushen asked.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

"I could screenshot this and let Ye Fei ask Li Xiaoyun," Zhao Gushen added.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

Why is this nephew so annoying!

"Show some respect to your future fourth aunt, don’t just call her by her name!" Zhao Dingli said crossly.

Zhao Gushen: "You want her to become my future fourth aunt. Does Li Xiaoyun know?"

Zhao Dingli: "..."

Zhao Dingli was really infuriated by Zhao Gushen.

As an uncle, he just wanted to brag a little, why couldn’t Zhao Gushen cooperate a bit!

First thing in the morning, making him annoyed.

The originally happy morning mood was ruined by Zhao Gushen.

Before Zhao Dingli could reply to Zhao Gushen, the third old man’s call came again.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

Why is his dad calling him so early?

Just then, the elevator stopped.

Zhao Dingli walked out of the elevator and answered the call.

"Dad." Zhao Dingli said.

"Have you already wooed the girl? Do you have a girlfriend now?" the third old man asked.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

"Not yet, how could it be that fast? Didn’t I tell you last night, not yet, but soon." Zhao Dingli said.

"Since you haven’t wooed her yet, why are you making her get up early to make soup for you?" the third old man said angrily.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

He finally knew why his dad called him early in the morning.

It’s all Zhao Gushen’s doing!

"No, it’s because she cares about me. I already told her not to overwork herself like that, she can do it over the weekend instead." Zhao Dingli said.
