Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Brother Chen and Sister Li’s ages are already there, they have no plans to climb higher, just want to stay stable until retirement.

As for the others, they are not as capable as Li Xiaoyun, so they can’t compete at all.

Their two departments are next to each other, so they know things quickly.

Manager Tang has always liked Li Xiaoyun, which Liu Meiyun and Guo Miyan both know.

Not to mention now there is also Zhao Dingli’s connection.

Even if not for Manager Tang, President Lin also must have Li Xiaoyun as the manager of the business department.

Even if it’s just to maintain the relationship with Changlin, President Lin will do so.

So, throughout the company, no one doubts that Li Xiaoyun will eventually become the manager.

"Look at her before, just trying to hide it while actually wanting us to guess," Liu Meiyun said, "the more we guessed, the happier she was. When she used her rhetoric to fool us back then, who knows how proud she was behind our backs."

"Now she simply doesn’t hide it and directly shows off Zhao Dingli," Liu Meiyun said sarcastically.

Both she and Guo Miyan couldn’t help but feel jealous.

If it were some rich heiress, being with Zhao Dingli...

They would have no place to direct their jealousy.

After all, they started on different paths and couldn’t compare with them, right?

They are originally from the same social circle, with their ways of knowing each other, so being together matches each other’s status.

But what about Li Xiaoyun?

Li Xiaoyun is clearly from an ordinary family like them.

Why does Li Xiaoyun get to know Zhao Dingli?

Why is Li Xiaoyun so lucky!

The others aren’t like Liu Meiyun and Guo Miyan; they’re just curious for gossip’s sake.

They indeed didn’t have much interaction with Li Xiaoyun, so their jealousy wasn’t as strong as Liu Meiyun and Guo Miyan’s.

Li Xiaoyun thought to herself, what’s up with Zhao Dingli this morning?

He offered to take her to work and then opened the car door.

Though Zhao Dingli has always been very gentlemanly.

But Li Xiaoyun can tell this time is different with Zhao Dingli.

A bit deliberate.

"What’s up with you?" Li Xiaoyun asked after getting out of the car, standing by its side.

Perhaps because they’ve lived under the same roof, she indeed feels closer.

Now, with Zhao Dingli, Li Xiaoyun can ask whenever she needs to.

"What’s up with what?" Zhao Dingli asked with a puzzled look.

Li Xiaoyun curiously said, "I just feel you’re acting strange, offering to take me to work and opening the car door."

Zhao Dingli smiled and said, "Don’t I always do that?"

He showed a bit of a hurt expression: "Haven’t you noticed before?"

Li Xiaoyun increasingly felt Zhao Dingli was acting unusually this morning.

But to the gossiping crowds, Zhao Dingli’s behavior seemed shocking!

Was Zhao Dingli being coquettish with Li Xiaoyun?!

"Of course I know," Li Xiaoyun said, "but now it seems you’re acting a bit oddly."

She squinted and examined Zhao Dingli’s face.

Wondering if she could tell anything from his face.

But, of course, she couldn’t.

If Zhao Dingli could be seen through, would he still be Zhao Dingli?

Zhao Dingli even seized the opportunity and directly held Li Xiaoyun’s hand.

While Li Xiaoyun was surprised, her hand was already raised by Zhao Dingli.

He directly put her hand against his forehead.

Li Xiaoyun’s palm was pressed tightly against Zhao Dingli’s forehead, making her feel like she was floating.

She really hadn’t touched Zhao Dingli’s face!

Now, the skin under her palm was unexpectedly smooth.

Men’s faces aren’t usually as delicate as women’s.

At least, it seems that way.

Yet, unexpectedly, Zhao Dingli’s skin was soft, delicate, and warm.

Li Xiaoyun’s hand trembled, her face turning red, feeling like she was being baked.

And yet, Zhao Dingli was still lowering his head, smiling at her with his eyes.

It’s simply too much!

This open flirting on the street was way too much!

Then she heard Zhao Dingli say, "Try it, my forehead’s not hot, I’m not sick."

Li Xiaoyun couldn’t process anything by now, unable to understand what Zhao Dingli was doing.

Zhao Dingli understood, the laughter in his eyes deepening: "Didn’t you just say I was acting strange this morning? But I’m not sick."

Li Xiaoyun finally regained a bit of sense.

Thinking, what does being sick have to do with acting strange?

Li Xiaoyun quickly withdrew her hand.

Zhao Dingli’s palm, suddenly empty, felt a bit regretful.

Just now, Li Xiaoyun’s soft palm was comfortable against his forehead.

Zhao Dingli was still pondering how Li Xiaoyun’s hand could be so soft and delicate.

"I didn’t mean you’re strange because you’re sick," Li Xiaoyun said, "wouldn’t I know if you’re sick?"

After all, they lived together.

Li Xiaoyun said this with a closeness even she wasn’t aware of.

Zhao Dingli silently enjoyed it.

As for whether illness is related to acting strange, Zhao Dingli didn’t care.

He just wanted people to see Li Xiaoyun touching his forehead.

The effect was indeed achieved.

No one intended to go into Rish now, they just wanted to see what new surprises there would be in the interactions between Li Xiaoyun and Zhao Dingli.

Seeing Li Xiaoyun touch Zhao Dingli’s forehead, it was indeed too intimate.

Could Zhao Dingli’s forehead be touched by just anyone?

Zhao Dingli smilingly said, "You’d better go into the company; if you delay any longer, you’ll be late."

Reminded by Zhao Dingli, Li Xiaoyun didn’t ponder over Zhao Dingli’s unusual behavior anymore.

She hurriedly said, "Ah, I’m going in now."

"Hey, wait."

Li Xiaoyun had already turned and walked two steps, then was called back by Zhao Dingli.

Moreover, her wrist was even caught by Zhao Dingli.

Li Xiaoyun turned back, silently inquiring.

Zhao Dingli smiled and asked, "So, are you coming over to see me at noon? If you are, I’ll have the driver pick you up."

Li Xiaoyun hadn’t really thought about it.

Zhao Dingli added, "You worked so hard to simmer the soup this morning, why not come and try how it tastes?"

This did pique Li Xiaoyun’s curiosity.

Although she tasted the saltiness while cooking.

But that was just when the water had just boiled.

What it would taste like after simmering on low heat, Li Xiaoyun herself didn’t know.

What if it doesn’t taste good?

If it really doesn’t taste good, with Zhao Dingli’s nature, he would surely lie and say it tastes good.

Li Xiaoyun felt a bit nervous and said, "Okay, I’ll come see you at noon."

Zhao Dingli smiled happily, "Then you better hurry inside."

Li Xiaoyun waved at Zhao Dingli and then ran into the company.

Zhao Dingli watched Li Xiaoyun enter the doorway of Rish, and then he left.

The gossiping crowd also followed and left.
