Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

So, it really attracted the attention of many young women.

Zhao Dingli, tall and long-legged, even his jogging moves were quite graceful.

It was like a scene from an idol drama appearing in real life.

Idol dramas look good on screen, but in reality, the actor’s movements are all directed.

Moreover, the director needs to confirm through the camera whether the actions look good.

If they don’t look good, they need to be rethought and reshot to achieve the final effect that makes the audience scream.

But this wasn’t an idol drama being filmed, and Zhao Dingli wasn’t an actor.

No one dictated how he should act.

His demeanor was entirely cultivated from a young age, naturally formed.

Just looking at his back, he looked quite good.

Li Xiaoyun couldn’t help but think, if only Zhao Dingli had let her follow him off the bus earlier.

That way she could view Zhao Dingli from different angles, rather than just see his back.

Some young girls were looking around: "I don’t see any cameras; is this not a TV shoot?"

"This isn’t a TV shoot, where is such a good-looking person from?" a friend also found it quite odd.

"Is he a celebrity?"

"Doesn’t seem right, with my eye for it, if he were a celebrity, would I not recognize him?"

"True, and if he were a celebrity, how could he so boldly show his face?"

Li Xiaoyun naturally couldn’t hear these words.

Zhao Dingli was also jogging past the crowd, not even paying mind.

Li Xiaoyun was still sitting in the passenger seat, and she saw Zhao Dingli enter a mobile phone brand store.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Dingli came out.

He was holding a branded paper bag with a logo.

Running back gracefully, Zhao Dingli first saw Li Xiaoyun sitting in the passenger seat with the window open.

He smiled at Li Xiaoyun first, then went around to open the car door and sat inside.

Li Xiaoyun was already prepared to set off again.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Dingli handed her the bag with the brand logo directly.

Li Xiaoyun looked at him with confusion, only to hear Zhao Dingli say, "Didn’t your phone break? I bought a new one."

Li Xiaoyun jumped in surprise and quickly waved her hands, "When I said that, I didn’t mean for you to buy me a new phone!"

"I can buy one myself," Li Xiaoyun said.

Although she was just an employee, she naturally couldn’t compare with Zhao Dingli.

But in sales, she earned much more than the average employee.

She had a base salary, plus commissions, making her income quite substantial.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to buy an apartment in B City on her own.

Don’t underestimate it as just a small loft, but given B City’s housing prices, even a small loft is not a trivial amount.

Li Xiaoyun adhered to the self-requirements of an independent woman.

High income, independent person, choosing relationships entirely based on her own preferences.

Not marrying just for the sake of marriage.

Even alone, she could live well.

In everyday life, the handyman tasks that men do, she could resolve herself.

Her lifestyle allowed her to be carefree, enjoying her mood, which made her energy and spirits even better.

So, when Zhao Dingli suddenly gifted her a phone.

Li Xiaoyun found it hard to accept.

Buying a new phone wasn’t something that made her grieve over the money spent.

But for electronics, as long as her daily use wasn’t affected, Li Xiaoyun never rushed to stay updated.

She was regretful about the damaged phone but at ease with just replacing it.

Yet she never intended for Zhao Dingli to give her one.

Although Zhao Dingli claimed she was his friend, Li Xiaoyun still felt they weren’t that close.

Zhao Dingli could say so, but she couldn’t shamelessly really assume it.

"I know." Zhao Dingli restarted the car, saying, "You shouldn’t feel burdened."

"I just happened to see it and thought of buying you a phone." Zhao Dingli said, "Moreover, this is somewhat my responsibility."

"What does this have to do with you?" Li Xiaoyun said, "You shouldn’t take the blame on yourself."

"My phone was clearly broken by Zheng Xuelin." How could that be Zhao Dingli’s fault?

One shouldn’t rush to dig a pit for themselves, right?

"While that’s true, I doubt he’d have the decency to compensate you with a phone. Besides, if he really did, I wouldn’t be happy for you to accept it." Zhao Dingli said.

Li Xiaoyun wondered, shouldn’t it be up to her whether she accepted or not?

What use was Zhao Dingli’s dislike?

"I think you’d also not want to accept it." Zhao Dingli added.

"That’s true." Li Xiaoyun nodded affirmatively at that statement.

"Besides, if I hadn’t suggested you take on this partnership, you wouldn’t have encountered the trouble with Zheng Xuelin. Ultimately, the root cause of this issue is me." Zhao Dingli said.

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Truly the first time she saw someone so forcefully taking blame themselves!

"So, don’t feel burdened." Zhao Dingli said, "Consider this phone as my apology gift."

Though Li Xiaoyun felt his reasoning was quite far-fetched, she could only agree.

"Then... thank you very much." Li Xiaoyun said sincerely.

Feeling the phone’s weight in her hand, it seemed a bit heavy.

Zhao Dingli nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Since we have some time now, why not unwrap it and set up the new phone?"

"Oh, sure." Li Xiaoyun replied.

Li Xiaoyun noticed that Zhao Dingli bought the same brand as her broken phone.

"It’s the same brand as my original one." Li Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"With phones from the same brand, under the same system, switching to a new phone will automatically import the old content, so I thought of getting you the same brand for convenience." Zhao Dingli explained.

"Otherwise, with your original phone not booting, you’d have to go for repairs to get the content onto the new phone, wasting a lot of time." Zhao Dingli explained.

"I figured you initially chose this brand because you liked it, so switching within the same brand you’re familiar with would be smoother. Even if there’s cleaning or transferring content from the old phone, you can get it fixed later without urgency." Zhao Dingli explained.

"How are you so considerate?" Li Xiaoyun truly didn’t expect.

Assuming that Zhao Dingli must have been pampered from childhood.

Others would always accommodate him, observe his habits, ensuring everything suited him perfectly.

And Zhao Dingli wouldn’t need to care about others’ happiness or thoughts.

Because even if he didn’t care, others wouldn’t dare to object.

Honestly, if one had such privileged treatment, they would probably be spoiled, not paying attention to others.
