Chapter 1151: Do You Understand What I Mean?

Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: Do You Understand What I Mean?

Li Xiaoyun looked at him in surprise, and Zhao Dingli laughed, "You’re my girlfriend now, so you can rightfully stay at my place without feeling it’s inappropriate, right?"

"Quickly pack up, just like last time. No need to pack too much, we’ll come back later to take care of the rest." Zhao Dingli said, "This time, you can move all your stuff to my place. You don’t need to keep thinking about coming back to stay."

We’ll come back to pack everything up at once, so just gather what you’ll need for tonight or the next couple of days.

Much less than what Li Xiaoyun brought back tonight.

Li Xiaoyun blinked her eyes.

Is she... officially a girlfriend now?

Almost too unbelievable.

She hadn’t yet adapted to this change in identity.

"Going back tonight?" Li Xiaoyun felt a little confused.

"Of course, I came here just to take you back." His only purpose for coming, without planning to give Li Xiaoyun a second option.

Li Xiaoyun looked at Zhao Dingli.

Now looking at him, she’s looking at her boyfriend.

The feeling is indeed different.

Li Xiaoyun started packing a few clothes and daily necessities, not much.

Because everything is already at Zhao Dingli’s place.

She’s packing her luggage now, just like the first time she moved to Zhao Dingli’s place.

Only bringing what’s needed for the next two or three days.

Because Zhao Dingli said, they’d come back again.

Next time they return, they’ll pack everything up and move it all.

And this time, the feeling is different.

Li Xiaoyun no longer feels burdened.

Because she’s staying at Zhao Dingli’s place as his girlfriend.

There’s a sense of legitimacy in it.

As Li Xiaoyun packed, Zhao Dingli couldn’t help, unsure of what she would want to bring.

While packing, Li Xiaoyun thought of a question and asked him, "If... if I hadn’t agreed with you just now, still unsure, and wanted to think about it?"

Zhao Dingli immediately asked, "Have you changed your mind?"

"No." Li Xiaoyun quickly replied, "I’m just posing a hypothetical."

"Unless you were very confident when you came, that I’d definitely agree." Li Xiaoyun said.

"I wasn’t that confident." Zhao Dingli laughed, "So my original plan was, if you agreed, I’d immediately take you home."

Take her home.

Hearing those words, Li Xiaoyun felt incredibly warm.

Zhao Dingli offered part of his home to her.

It became their home.

"If you said you wanted to think about it, I’d still take you back, so you can think properly at home." He just wanted to get her home first.

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

Zhao Dingli completely had her.

No matter how she chose, she’d end up by his side.

Since there wasn’t much to bring, Li Xiaoyun soon finished packing.

As she closed the suitcase, Zhao Dingli took it, intending to leave, when he felt resistance.

Turning back, he saw Li Xiaoyun holding onto the suitcase.

"What’s wrong?" Zhao Dingli asked puzzled.

Li Xiaoyun remained uneasy unless she asked.

She wished to be with Zhao Dingli, liked him, and didn’t want to miss him.

Yet, she wanted answers to the long-standing questions.

Only when that heavy stone in her heart settled could she focus on the relationship.

Otherwise, she would remain distracted and unable to commit fully.

"I want to ask you something." Li Xiaoyun said.

"What is it?" Zhao Dingli laughed, "You look so worried."

Li Xiaoyun tugged at her clothes and asked, "Why do you like me?"

"You’ve been single, surely have high standards, so why me? I’m just an ordinary girl. Saying I’m plain would be insincere. Although I’m pretty, I’m not unforgettable or unmatched."

"Speaking of personality, there’s nothing special. Capability doesn’t stand out. Intelligence isn’t exceptional. Everything is just okay, not bad, but not remarkable. Nothing unique."

"Your social circle is much broader than mine. Surely, your family introduced you to excellent women. Even the Zhao family elders find them better than me. You know many people who outrank me in every way. What’s special about me?" Li Xiaoyun lamented.

"I truly don’t understand why you’d like me."

"Feelings aren’t measured by qualifications. It’s not a test where you must score top in every subject to be likable."

"It’s the connection, making me feel comfortable at first sight. Your personality fits mine, making me feel everything about you is wonderful. There are many more outstanding girls than you, but excellence isn’t a measure of affection."

"Otherwise, every man would fall for the most outstanding woman, and every woman for the most outstanding man. What about everyone else?"

"Feelings are profoundly subjective. They depend on personal preference, not objective excellence. Liking someone can’t be scored and judged alongside others."

"So I just like you. As you said, I’m not the most outstanding either. Without even considering those better than me, among those of equivalent status, there are younger ones who match you better age-wise. Would you just fall for someone because they’re younger?"

"Of course not." Li Xiaoyun replied without hesitation.

"Exactly. I’m far from perfect. I’m older, but you don’t mind that, nor intend to leave me for someone younger. So why ask why I like you?"

"Just among those you’ve met, you know Gu Xian from our family. You’ve talked with him. He’s capable, has a great personality and virtue, looks good, excels in every aspect, and importantly, he’s younger and age-compatible with you. Do you fancy him? Want to date him?" Zhao Dingli countered.

Li Xiaoyun shook her head.

"Exactly." Zhao Dingli leaned in, with a suitcase still between them, and kissed Li Xiaoyun’s lips, "Do you understand my point?"

"I understand." Li Xiaoyun got it.

Even the most outstanding person, she didn’t like.

Just like the young and handsome ones, she didn’t like, she just likes Zhao Dingli.

"So now, can you rest assured and go with me?" Zhao Dingli asked again.

"Okay."

Li Xiaoyun hadn’t expected that just after returning, she’d go back to Zhao Dingli’s place again.

This time felt different from before.

She was extremely at ease.
