Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: He Won’t Let You Down

But then the old lady shifted her tone and said to Zhao Dingli, "Find a time this weekend to bring Xiao Yun home. Although she’s visited before, it’s never been as a girlfriend. Now that you two are officially together, you should do this as if she’s your fiancée."

See, the old lady and Zhao Dingli are pretty much on the same page.

One’s talking about getting wedding candy soon, and the other’s making a fiancée out of a girlfriend right after starting the relationship.

Li Xiaoyun, however, was completely unaware of all this.

Zhao Guoxian saw the conversation in the group chat and got a headache.

He thought, Zhao Dingli and the old lady are making Li Xiaoyun a fiancée directly like this, does Li Xiaoyun even know?

"Fourth Uncle, congratulations." remarked Zhao Guqing, who rarely spoke up in the group, chiming in this time.

Zhao Guqing always felt that chatting casually in the group was really ridiculous, not upscale at all, and made one seem idle.

He liked maintaining a cold, high-end persona in the group, seldom speaking, to seem busy.

Now seeing Zhao Dingli end up single, he came out to say a word.

Otherwise, he might seem indifferent to family members.

However, Zhao Guqing was genuinely happy for Zhao Dingli.

Because Zhao Dingli was really unambitious, like Zhao Gushen, he found an ordinary person.

Of course, Zhao Dingli was a bit better than Zhao Gushen.

At least Li Xiaoyun’s family, though normal, wouldn’t drag behind.

Not like Ye Fei, with her extraordinary family.

That’s why Zhao Gushen could handle it.

If it were an ordinary person, who could keep up with Ye Fei?

Days like that would break apart.

However, Zhao Dingli was only slightly better than Zhao Gushen.

Being close with Zhao Gushen for so long, even his taste got skewed by Zhao Gushen.

Originally having high standards, he dragged himself until he was 37, and finally finding a girlfriend, she’s so average, not helpful at all.

Really don’t know what Zhao Dingli was thinking.

But Zhao Dingli like this, for Zhao Guqing, is only beneficial, no harm.

As for tangible benefits to Zhao Guqing, he couldn’t quite say it.

Because Zhao Dingli didn’t compete for Zhao Family’s resources.

The two actually had no conflict of interest.

But Zhao Guqing was just the type to be happy even if it was harming others without benefiting himself.

Seeing everyone in the group join in the fun, Zhao Guqing thought it was laughable.

And yet Zhao Dingli was so delighted, as if he had found a treasure, showing off.

Even though it was all text chat in the group, everyone could clearly see Zhao Guqing’s disdain.

Zhao Dingli wasn’t as enthusiastic towards Zhao Guqing.

Despite often being speechless with the old lady, it’s only because of being genuinely close that he could laugh and joke, speak what’s on his mind.

However, with Zhao Guqing, without needing to see, Zhao Dingli could guess what Zhao Guqing was thinking.

Zhao Dingli pursed his lips.

That person was skewed by his dad.

Eyes full of interests, heart full of calculations.

At this moment, Zhao Dingli only coldly replied: "Thank you."

And as for Ye Fei, she saw the message Li Xiaoyun sent at midnight when she woke up this morning.

Thus, she knew a bit earlier than the old lady and the others, though only slightly earlier.

Zhao Dingli, eager to announce, declared quite early.

Before this, Ye Fei only told Zhao Gushen, and hadn’t said anything in the group.

For such matters, of course, it’s more fitting for Zhao Dingli as the person involved to speak.

Just as she was on the way to school, Ye Fei chatted with Li Xiaoyun via WeChat, asking about the details.

"My fourth uncle finally confessed after so long. But, so suddenly, what exactly pushed him?" Ye Fei asked.

Li Xiaoyun caught the main point right away: "You knew all along?"

"I guessed some." Ye Fei admitted, "Our family’s grandfather, grandma, and third uncle, all know fourth uncle’s feelings for you. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to pressure you."

"Initially, I was afraid fourth uncle’s interest was only out of curiosity. Once his curiousity was satisfied, he’d leave, but you’d be drawn in and end up hurt. So, I didn’t say anything, just let you be in the dark and let fourth uncle figure out his own feelings." Ye Fei explained.

"Later, when it was clear he really liked you, I felt at ease letting him express himself. I was worried you wouldn’t like him; instead of telling you and pressuring you, better not say anything. If you didn’t like him, it’d be easier to refuse without burden."

However, with Zhao Dingli and Zhao Gushen’s temperaments.

Once they really liked someone, no way they’d let the person refuse.

Various strategies keep emerging, eventually making you surrender.

Ye Fei sent Li Xiaoyun a folded hands emoji: "Please don’t be mad at me."

Li Xiaoyun couldn’t be mad at Ye Fei at all.

It’s just that her emotional intuition is too slow.

Better to follow Ye Fei’s advice.

After all, Ye Fei wouldn’t harm her.

However, Li Xiaoyun pretended to be angry and said, "I’ll let it slide this time, since you’re our matchmaker. But next time, you better not keep anything from me."

"Of course, other than this, I’ve never kept anything from you. Including Xiao Mo, Gu Shen’s matters, and my family’s, I’ve told you everything." Ye Fei replied.

This made Li Xiaoyun feel touched.

"Alright, so, in light of you being our matchmaker, it’s all settled." Li Xiaoyun typed with a smile.

Ye Fei laughed at Li Xiaoyun’s words: "Are you thinking of settling with the matchmaker’s gift?"

Li Xiaoyun’s eyes curved in a smile, saying: "I was kept in the dark, if you want a gift, ask your fourth uncle."

"Oh, when do I get to call you Fourth Auntie then?" Ye Fei asked again.

This made Li Xiaoyun blush deeply: "You’d have to ask him about that, it’s not quite right at the moment."

Ye Fei said with surprise: "Ah, so you’re ready to marry fourth uncle anytime?"

Li Xiaoyun was straightforward with Ye Fei: "I’m prepared. Already living with him, though we haven’t... you know."

Ye Fei didn’t tease.

At this moment, Li Xiaoyun was speaking her heart.

It wasn’t time for jokes.

"But since we’re already living together, it’s bound to happen eventually." Li Xiaoyun said, "I’m not someone who does things just casually. Since agreeing to him and living there continuously, I’m mentally prepared."

"For me, I want to go all the way with him, thus I act like this." Li Xiaoyun said, "And of course, even if we don’t make it to the end, I won’t regret it."

Because she genuinely likes Zhao Dingli.

"Don’t worry." Ye Fei assured, "Fourth uncle won’t let you down."
