Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Li Xiaoyun didn’t have that kind of skill, so she didn’t know how long it would take her.

So, she prepared some snacks for Zhao Dingli, in case he got hungry.

Then, she brought out a tea bag and said to Zhao Dingli embarrassedly, "I only have this peach oolong tea bag at home, and some peach water. If you like something else, I’ll buy it for you."

Zhao Dingli was so considerate that he specially bought what she liked, she couldn’t just let him make do.

"No worries, I tried it at my place earlier, and I thought it was quite nice. I’ll just have this peach oolong tea now." Zhao Dingli said.

He also wanted to try more flavors that Li Xiaoyun liked.

Li Xiaoyun then placed the tea bag into his glass and filled it with hot water.

"I can do it myself," Zhao Dingli said, "You don’t have to take care of me like this."

"Then I’ll start on dinner," Li Xiaoyun said.

"Okay," Zhao Dingli nodded, "Let me know if you need any help."

"No problem," Li Xiaoyun said, about to head to the kitchen, when she was stopped by Zhao Dingli again.

"By the way, can I take a look around?" Zhao Dingli asked again.

Li Xiaoyun glanced around her apartment.

A 50-square-meter small apartment, although not big in area, because it’s two levels, it felt spacious enough for her living alone.

But actually, just standing in the living room and taking a look around, one could see most of her place.

She honestly didn’t know what else could be explored.

Nevertheless, Li Xiaoyun nodded and said, "Sure, feel free."

Her loft had an open bedroom.

Upstairs was an open platform used as a bedroom.

She put a Simmons mattress on it, without buying a bed frame.

Because based on the space, if a tall bed were placed, it would take up too much space, making it look cramped.

Might as well just put a mattress.

This way, the vertical space would be larger.

Without doors, the space was open.

So the place where she slept could be seen at a glance.

Luckily, the upstairs wasn’t messy, so even if Zhao Dingli saw it, it didn’t matter.

Moreover, even if Zhao Dingli didn’t go up, he could see it just by sitting in the living room and looking up.

After Li Xiaoyun finished speaking, she went to prepare dinner.

Zhao Dingli carefully observed the arrangement in Li Xiaoyun’s home.

Although Li Xiaoyun’s house wasn’t big, it was very cozy, quite different from the simple and clear setup of his own home.

The platform at the corner of the two-story stairs was large, so Li Xiaoyun placed a wardrobe there.

In this way, her bedroom seemed more spacious.

Zhao Dingli went upstairs and saw a mattress in her bedroom.

Next to the mattress was a low long table with a laptop on top.

The mattress could also serve as a cushion.

A vivid image formed in Zhao Dingli’s mind.

When Li Xiaoyun was at home, she would sit there working or working overtime.

Or using the computer to watch dramas.

There was also a portable projector placed next to the computer.

From the position, it could project onto the wall on the other side of the mattress.

At night, Li Xiaoyun could sit on the bed and watch the projected movie.

Thinking about it, this little life was quite pleasant.

Just imagining this scene made Zhao Dingli smile uncontrollably.

***

As for He Haoran, after getting Li Xiaoyun’s name card, he quickly returned to the hospital.

He still remembered the instructions from Chu Zhaoyang and Shi Hongze.

He Haoran, fast and eagerly, rushed to the door of Chu Zhaoyang’s office, happily knocking on Chu Zhaoyang’s office door.

"Come in," Chu Zhaoyang said from inside.

He Haoran immediately opened the door and went in.

Seeing that only Chu Zhaoyang was in the office, He Haoran said, "Boss, I just got back from Zhao Si’s place. Is Doctor Shi still in surgery?"

"Probably, go and check," Chu Zhaoyang said.

He wouldn’t ask in person.

"Wait for Shi Hongze to come out and talk together," Chu Zhaoyang said.

Otherwise, if Shi Hongze knew that He Haoran came back and talked to him first, and Shi Hongze wasn’t there.

There would be trouble again.

Chu Zhaoyang figured this was because Shi Hongze’s social life was too empty.

If Shi Hongze could also have a romantic relationship, he wouldn’t need to keep an eye on other single men’s love lives every day.

To him, now Shi Hongze probably thought that as long as those other bachelors didn’t get a partner, he could hold on for a bit longer.

As long as someone was still with him, he didn’t have to rush.

Anyway, someone was with him, so he wasn’t too late.

But once the people he was watching all coupled up one by one.

Could Shi Hongze not be anxious?

He Haoran went to check if Shi Hongze had finished surgery.

Called to find out Shi Hongze had just finished surgery.

So after waiting for a little while, he saw Shi Hongze coming over.

"How’s it going? Did you find out anything?" Shi Hongze asked as soon as he entered Chu Zhaoyang’s office.

He Haoran smugly pulled out Li Xiaoyun’s business card, "I got Miss Li’s business card."

He Haoran placed the card on Chu Zhaoyang’s desk, "You wouldn’t know, to get this card, I actually offended Zhao Si."

"I had a hard time asking Miss Li for her card, and Zhao Si wanted to take it back. How could that be, so I just ran with it." He Haoran said.

"Zhao Si really watches over Miss Li closely, not letting anyone get near." He Haoran, in high spirits, didn’t treat Chu Zhaoyang as his boss.

Like talking to two gossip friends.

"You wouldn’t believe it, I couldn’t even shake Miss Li’s hand." He Haoran pursed his lips, "It wasn’t to take advantage of Miss Li, just a handshake as a social courtesy."

"Who knew that as soon as I reached out, Zhao Si stopped me." He Haoran pursed his lips, "That Zhao Si is really petty!"

"I wasn’t even taking advantage!" Talking about this made He Haoran quite annoyed.

As if he was some sort of person taking advantage of others.

"Wow, that Zhao Si is really petty," Shi Hongze said gleefully.

"That means he’s serious," Chu Zhaoyang nodded.

"It’s rare, Zhao Si reached this age and still got a chance to couple up." In Shi Hongze’s view, honestly, he thought Zhao Dingli was most likely destined to be single for life.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Dingli was so lucky to find true love at this age.

What kind of luck is that?

Chu Zhaoyang just looked at Shi Hongze coolly, "Even Zhao Si is coupling up."

And you’re still single, useless!

Although Chu Zhaoyang didn’t say the last part, Shi Hongze could read it from the disdainful expression on Chu Zhaoyang’s face.

Shi Hongze: "..."

"Ahem!" Shi Hongze pretended not to hear the implications in Chu Zhaoyang’s words.
