Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

It’s just that both of you learning together and having this mindset creates equality.

Aunt Lin came over and said lunch was ready.

Everyone gathered around the dining table. Looking at the dishes laid out, Ye Fei remembered her agreement with Li Xiaoyun.

So she brought it up: "You haven’t forgotten, you promised to cook tomorrow at home, right? I’m going to bring Xiao Mo along."

"What? What’s this all about?" The little one was unaware of this and curiously asked Ye Fei.

Seeing that the old lady and others were also confused, Ye Fei explained: "Xiaoyun can’t cook, so once, to make dinner for Uncle Four, she specifically asked me for a recipe that was easy to learn and hard to mess up. But Xiaoyun’s parents haven’t tasted her cooking yet, so she’s planning to go home tomorrow and cook for them."

"Not just her parents, even I as her bestie haven’t eaten her cooking. Once I heard she was going to cook anyway, I thought I’d tag along for a taste too." Ye Fei explained.

"I want to go too! I want to go too!" The little one immediately got excited, "I haven’t tasted Godmother’s cooking either."

The old lady chuckled, "Oh my, who knew Ding Li would be the first to eat Xiaoyun’s cooking, that boy is lucky."

Li Xiaoyun felt a bit embarrassed by the old lady’s words.

She can’t even cook, yet here she is being praised.

"I haven’t forgotten," Li Xiaoyun said to Ye Fei, "I’ve already told my parents, I’m going back tomorrow."

Thinking it over, Li Xiaoyun said, "How about I prepare dinner?"

Lunch would be a bit rushed.

If it’s dinner, she’d have the whole afternoon to get ready.

"Sure," Ye Fei agreed.

Zhao Gushen wasn’t really interested in the meal Li Xiaoyun would prepare.

After all, Ye Fei cooks the best.

So, he didn’t suggest going along.

Also, he doesn’t know Li Xiaoyun’s parents, unlike Ye Fei, who is quite familiar with them.

If he went, Li Xiaoyun’s parents might not be able to relax.

But then, he wouldn’t have anyone to accompany him for tomorrow’s dinner.

Zhao Gushen looked at Ye Fei with a bit of grievance.

Zhao Dingli: "..."

Look at Zhao Gushen’s possessiveness, it’s just a dinner at Li Xiaoyun’s parents’ house, right?

And yet he looks so aggrieved.

Ye Fei doesn’t cook every day at home either.

As the third elder would say, Zhao Gushen married Ye Fei not for her to be a housemaid.

Even though Ye Fei’s cooking is delicious and she has an interest in it, you can’t let her be stuck in the kitchen in the smoke and oil every day.

Normally, it’s the housemaid who cooks, and sometimes meals are ordered from restaurants under their own brand.

Ye Fei mainly spends time exploring culinary skills.

Cooking for videos just happens to provide a meal.

Sometimes Ye Fei researches a dish not for the sake of videos but to improve her own cooking skills.

For new recipes, it often takes several tries to get them right.

Zhao Gushen and the little one would become her taste testers.

However, even Ye Fei’s practice dishes turn out tasty.

So it’s like Ye Fei is working, and Zhao Gushen and Xiao Mo enjoy the fruits of her labor.

But she doesn’t take charge of three meals a day consistently.

However, Ye Fei still makes snacks for the two of them by herself, never slacking off.

At this moment, Zhao Dingli suddenly spoke up: "I wonder... if it would be appropriate for me to go too?"

Ye Fei and Li Xiaoyun each thought to themselves: "Obviously not appropriate."

But neither of them had the heart to say it out loud.

Ye Feixin thought, Zhao Dingli really must like Li Xiaoyun.

Otherwise, with Zhao Dingli’s intelligence, wouldn’t he know whether going to the Li Family would be appropriate?

He’s not anyone to Li Xiaoyun right now, so what reason does he have to go?

It’d be awkward to show up uninvited!

How could Zhao Dingli not think of these things?

But he still wants to go.

Ye Fei figured, Zhao Dingli probably wanted to make a presence in front of Li Xiaoyun’s parents.

To prevent them from trying to set Li Xiaoyun up with anyone else.

Let them see that Li Xiaoyun already has an excellent man beside her, which should ease their minds.

And just in case comparisons are made.

Whenever there’s comparison, there’s bound to be some harm.

With Zhao Dingli already in the picture, introducing anyone else to Li Xiaoyun seems a bit lacking, doesn’t it?

Zhao Dingli was being very strategic.

The old lady seized the chance, saying, "Yes, yes, since Ding Li is driving you, if he’s already downstairs at your house, it’d be awkward not to go up and pay a visit."

Li Xiaoyun looked at Ye Fei for help, but unexpectedly, Ye Fei said, "Since Xiaoyun has already met our elders, it’s only fair for Uncle Four to meet Xiaoyun’s family elders too."

"That’s quite reasonable," praised the third elder.

"Then it’s settled," Zhao Dingli quickly decided, not giving Li Xiaoyun the chance to refuse.

"When you’re leaving, grab some things to take back with you, and Ding Li can take them along to your parents tomorrow," the old lady pondered, noting the ample supply of supplements at home.

Bird’s nest, fish maw, royal jelly, and plenty of bee pollen.

The old lady went over it all in her mind as she ate.

She’d pack some for Zhao Dingli to take along.

When visiting elders, supplements are a common gift.

Most people bring fruits, milk, grains, and oil.

But given their means, naturally, they should bring something more substantial.

Zhao Dingli could buy some, but with such a last-minute decision, how could he find something suitable in time?

Honestly, the market products aren’t as good as what’s at home.

Li Xiaoyun didn’t expect that after just having a meal today, she’d be taking Zhao Dingli home tomorrow.

Yet, what Ye Fei said made sense.

Since she had met the elders of the Zhao Family, there was no reason not to let Zhao Dingli meet her parents.

However, it felt too much like a meeting of the in-laws.

Instead of helping her, Ye Fei seemed to be stirring things up.

The thought of taking Zhao Dingli home tomorrow gave Li Xiaoyun a headache.

How would she explain it to her parents?

She certainly couldn’t say she was staying at Zhao Dingli’s house.

Otherwise, her parents surely wouldn’t accept her living with a man, and questioning why she’s staying there might make them worried.

That would render her initial intent of keeping her stay hidden meaningless.

Little did she know, that Zhao Gushen also decided to stir things up, "Then I’ll go too."

If Zhao Dingli was going and wasn’t concerned about Li Xiaoyun’s parents feeling uncomfortable, then he wanted to go as well.

This way, he wouldn’t have to be separated from Ye Fei.

Also, he wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

To see how Zhao Dingli interacts with his future in-laws.

The old lady nodded approvingly and said, "You should go along, it’s good for Xiaoyun’s parents to meet you too."

Given that Ye Fei isn’t close to her own family, visiting Li Xiaoyun’s home is like visiting her half-family.

For sure, they should see the kind of man Ye Fei ended up marrying.

"Moreover, you can also help your uncle. Your uncle lacks experience; you can assist him with some pointers," the old lady added.

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Lacks experience?

What kind of experience is needed for being a guest anyway?

Zhao Dingli: "..."
