Chapter 1076: Can You Really Do That?
Anyway, he has already married Li Xiaoyun.
The goal is achieved.
Could Li Xiaoyun possibly divorce him over a naming issue?
Zhao Dingli’s plans are really well-laid.
"Is it really okay to do this?" The little one asked Zhao Dingli suspiciously.
"Of course it is." Zhao Dingli nodded, "However, this is only permissible among ourselves. Outside, when there are outsiders, you still have to call her Aunt Four. After all, with outsiders, we don’t want them thinking our family has no manners."
The little one pondered for a bit and felt he could reluctantly accept it.
Aunt Four granted him face, allowing him to still call her godmother at home.
So when outside, he has to grant Aunt Four face as well!
As far as others knowing doesn’t matter, at home, Li Xiaoyun is still his godmother.
Zhao Dingli doesn’t actually intend for the little one to keep calling her that forever.
But Zhao Dingli has his own plans.
The little one is still young, it’s perfectly normal for him not to accept it all at once.
When the little one gets older, presumably without needing Zhao Dingli to correct him, he’ll himself find calling her separately feels awkward.
Naturally, he will change the habit.
"You see, I’ve agreed to this for you, so aren’t you obliged to help me now?" Zhao Dingli said, "It won’t be anything too difficult for you, right?"
The little one thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I agree."
"Xiao Mo is really great!" Zhao Dingli praised happily.
After finally getting things straightened out, the pair left the bathroom together.
When they returned, Ye Fei asked curiously, "How come you two went in and came out together?"
When did the little one become so friendly with Zhao Dingli?
Even using the restroom, they’re waiting for each other?
"I like kids, and Xiao Mo is the only child in our family, so I enjoy spending more time with him." Zhao Dingli said with a grin.
Zhao Gushen flashed a silent mocking smile at Zhao Dingli.
Listening to you babble on.
The little one turned to Zhao Dingli and mouthed, "Godmother."
Full of threat.
Zhao Dingli: "..."
These two are truly annoying.
The old lady took advantage of the moment to say, "Since you love children so much, hurry up and get married, have one yourself, and stop clinging to our Xiao Mo."
"Exactly." The old man chimed in.
Zhao Dingli: "..."
Say it again!
Quickly say the next sentence!
Hint to Li Xiaoyun!
Zhao Dingli is waiting eagerly.
But the old lady didn’t say more.
Zhao Dingli: "..."
The old lady feared Li Xiaoyun might feel awkward; she’s spoken enough today and wanted to quit while ahead.
Seeing Zhao Dingli’s urgency, he doesn’t understand her thoughtful considerations at all.
If he’s this impatient, he should put in the effort himself and hurry to pursue her.
After they finished eating, Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun sat for a while longer.
Everyone enjoyed tea, snacks, and fruits.
The old lady gestured for Aunt Lin to pack up the family’s bird nests and fish maw supplements for Li Xiaoyun to take home.
Li Xiaoyun naturally refused.
"Why be so polite with us?" The old lady said.
"Exactly, we’re all one family, no need for formalities." Zhao Dingli chimed in.
Zhao Gushen lifted his lips in another mocking expression.
Zhao Dingli is quite adept at taking verbal advantage.
Zhao Dingli: "..."
At departure, Li Xiaoyun intended to slip away unnoticed, not taking those items.
But Zhao Dingli proactively picked up everything.
He wasn’t going to be reserved.
Being family, they routinely exchange gifts, and such items are commonplace for them.
Like taking a fish from home or bringing a chicken, it’s just ordinary, so they don’t see anything out of the norm.
"Oh, and these given by the old lady should go straight to your parents. We won’t separate them again." Zhao Dingli said, "I’ll have someone buy more later for you to use regularly."
"No need." Li Xiaoyun replied, "I’m still young, why would I require such supplements?"
"Age doesn’t matter; consistently consuming them in specified amounts is beneficial for women. Laying a good foundation from a young age shows externally by slowing aging compared to peers, and internally by promoting better health." Zhao Dingli explained.
After explaining, Zhao Dingli immediately asked the old lady where they usually purchase these.
The elderly couple has fixed suppliers, being longtime patrons.
The shopkeeper is quite fair in doing business, especially with the elderly couple purchasing often and long-term.
They recommend more customers too.
The shopkeeper wouldn’t jeopardize a long-term bond for short-term profits.
Thus, he always provides the elderly couple with premium quality at a fair price.
The old lady immediately gave Zhao Dingli the contact information.
And personally contacted the shopkeeper to clarify the situation.
The shopkeeper was naturally delighted.
And soon received Zhao Dingli’s call.
Zhao Dingli quickly placed a large order.
Furthermore, he arranged for the quantity to be delivered monthly to avoid repeatedly ordering.
If busy times lead him to forget, Li Xiaoyun surely wouldn’t inform him.
And asked the shopkeeper to send the bill directly to Changlin monthly.
Being referred by the old lady, the shopkeeper trusted them completely, promptly agreeing.
Thus it was decided, the next day, as Li Xiaoyun was to prepare dinner herself.
She was certain to arrive earlier than Ye Fei.
With a rare day off, both she and Zhao Dingli slept in.
Only got up at around ten, having a meal indistinguishable as breakfast or lunch.
When they left, it was already noon.
The duo headed first to the supermarket, purchasing ingredients for that night’s meal.
As Li Xiaoyun picked out groceries, she wondered how to introduce Zhao Dingli to her parents later.
As a friend?
Her parents must believe it.
Who brings an opposite-sex ordinary friend home on a whim?
Her parents would certainly misunderstand Zhao Dingli as her boyfriend, unable to clarify it.
With Zhao Dingli, focused on selecting fruits nearby.
Li Xiaoyun felt embarrassed to complain about his insistence on following her home.
Once they finished shopping, they headed to Li Xiaoyun’s home.
Meanwhile, the Li Family scheduled mother just returned from the market.
She was pulling a special cart for groceries.
Having purchased lots at the market, especially since Li Xiaoyun was visiting today, Mrs. Li bought extra to prepare a delicious dinner for her.
Li Xiaoyun only mentioned Ye Fei and the little one visiting, not Zhao Gushen or Zhao Dingli.
Her parents don’t know Zhao Dingli, mentioning Zhao Gushen might make them nervous.
She doesn’t want her parents stressing over hosting, running around organizing.
If asked, now married to Ye Fei, Zhao Gushen is considered family.
No need for excessive formality or stress.
