Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

But she was too lazy to bake it again.

Li Xiaoyun made herself a cup of coffee and poured a glass of milk for Zhao Dingli.

She still remembered his stomach wasn’t good, so he tried to drink less coffee.

When Li Xiaoyun placed these on the table, she thought just having toast seemed a bit too plain.

Just as she was pondering, Zhao Dingli came out too.

"You got up so early?" Zhao Dingli asked.

His voice was hoarse, clearly just waking up.

But Zhao Dingli knew that wasn’t the reason.

Just as he came out, he happened to see Li Xiaoyun setting breakfast with her back to him.

At that moment, Zhao Dingli had a sudden impulse, wanting to walk over and hug her from behind.

Just like seeing your girlfriend preparing breakfast for you in the morning.

Fortunately, he woke up after taking a couple of steps and quickly spoke up.

It was to remind Li Xiaoyun, and also to remind himself.

"Not used to sleeping here?" Zhao Dingli asked again.

"A little." Now, Li Xiaoyun had learned to be honest with Zhao Dingli, "I’m quite particular about beds, usually for the first couple of days in a new place, I wake up quite early."

"Does it affect your sleep?" Zhao Dingli asked again.

"Not really." Li Xiaoyun said with a smile, "I sleep well at night, just wake up early. But it’s only for a couple of days, once I get used to it, it’s fine."

"You prepared breakfast." Zhao Dingli tilted his head slightly, looking over Li Xiaoyun’s shoulder at the sandwiches on the table.

Honestly, although Li Xiaoyun isn’t great with serious cooking, this looked quite nice.

"Yes, I’m going to cut some fruit, do you think this is enough? Or do you want something else?" Li Xiaoyun asked.

"It’s enough." Zhao Dingli said.

"Then I’ll just go cut some fruit." Li Xiaoyun said, and she was already heading back to the kitchen.

Not long after, Li Xiaoyun came back with a small fruit platter.

From outside, Zhao Dingli could hear the sound of Li Xiaoyun cutting the fruit in the kitchen.

She cut very slowly, indicating her knife skills weren’t great, quite inexperienced.

But fortunately, she cut the fruits into big chunks, which didn’t really test her knife skills.

Red dragon fruit, golden kiwi, and apples, cherry tomatoes were placed together.

The colors were vibrant and looked quite nice.

"I didn’t expect your kitchen to be well-equipped, even with small appliances like a toaster." Li Xiaoyun set the fruit on the table, and sat down herself.

"Although I rarely have breakfast at home while working, since I often work overtime, I cherish the rare times to rest at home. So when I’m home, I like to make something myself."

"But only simple stuff, like toasting with a toaster." Zhao Dingli explained.

"It’s been a long time since I enjoyed a morning like this, having breakfast at home and then leaving with a full stomach, it’s really nice." Zhao Dingli said with a smile.

"Didn’t I promise you that breakfast was my responsibility?" Li Xiaoyun said, "I can’t handle anything too complicated, but I can manage simple breakfasts."

"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you from now on." Zhao Dingli agreed.

While having breakfast, Li Xiaoyun noticed that Zhao Dingli was also wearing his pajamas.

Li Xiaoyun suddenly looked down and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Dingli asked curiously.

"Noth—" Li Xiaoyun started to deny, but then stopped herself, saying, "I just thought, I never imagined we’d ever sit together like this, having breakfast in pajamas."

Hearing this, Zhao Dingli also laughed: "Yeah, I didn’t expect it either."

"To be honest, even the image of a future wife, I hadn’t thought of this scenario. After all, I’ve been single for so long, I never thought about having a family one day." Zhao Dingli was worried Li Xiaoyun might misunderstand.

He quickly explained: "But I’m not saying I’m against marriage, I actually look forward to it."

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

"I just never thought it would look so real." Zhao Dingli said.

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Li Xiaoyun thought to herself, the way Zhao Dingli said it, it seemed like their current situation was his vision of marital life.

Yet, looking at Zhao Dingli now, relaxing in pajamas, eating breakfast.

It really brought them closer.

Li Xiaoyun felt there was no longer a sense of distance with him.

She could even imagine what his married life would be like.

Marrying and living with such a man, it would be very happy.

Just seeing him every day, brings special satisfaction.

Spending time with Zhao Dingli like this, filled Li Xiaoyun’s heart with a trace of sweetness.

She never had the thought of wanting to live with a man before.

She didn’t dare to think about it.

Maybe because she had been single for so long and felt comfortable, not needing to accommodate another person.

She could live her life the way she wanted.

No one suddenly appearing at home, altering her life.

So, she quite enjoyed living alone.

Not wanting someone to suddenly break into her life.

But now, being with Zhao Dingli felt completely different.

To say the presence of Zhao Dingli in her life is increasingly significant.

From the beginning when he stood up to protect her.

To picking her up from work.

Now, allowing her to live in his home directly.

Yet Li Xiaoyun didn’t feel any resistance.

Didn’t feel anything changed with Zhao Dingli suddenly breaking into her life.

Didn’t feel uncomfortable.

In fact, she wanted to keep getting along with Zhao Dingli like this.

Being with him truly felt comfortable.

Li Xiaoyun couldn’t help but have a sweet smile on her lips.

Zhao Dingli saw it, but didn’t point it out.

He could feel she was becoming more relaxed around him.

That was good.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Dingli picked up the plates.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyun said, "I’ll take care of it."

"It’s okay, you go change clothes." Zhao Dingli said, "Don’t you still need to do your makeup? I don’t have to deal with these things, I’ll take care of the plates."

There was a dishwasher at home anyway, Zhao Dingli didn’t need to do it manually.

Li Xiaoyun didn’t fight him on this.

She said, "Alright, I’ll go tidy up then."

Zhao Dingli nodded, and as Li Xiaoyun left, he loaded the cups and plates into the dishwasher.

After he finished, he also went to change clothes.

When he came out after changing, he didn’t expect Li Xiaoyun to be out too.

Zhao Dingli was quite surprised: "How did you get ready so quickly?"

He smiled and explained, "I thought girls usually take longer, so it would take more time."

"When I’m not busy, I take my time, but when I’m rushing to work, of course, the faster the better." Plus, she didn’t want to delay Zhao Dingli.

"Usually when I do my makeup for work, it only takes five minutes." Li Xiaoyun said.
