Li Xiaoyun couldn't hear.
"I would like to, but not quite yet." Zhao Dingli didn't answer directly, but it was tantamount to admitting.
Honestly, the old man was truly surprised that Zhao Dingli agreed so readily.
He really thought Zhao Dingli would deny it, and then explain a bit.
This response actually left the old man stunned for a full minute, unable to speak.
Then, the old man asked, "So, is it true then?"
The old man was thrilled.
Zhao Dingli quickly glanced at Li Xiaoyun and wasn't too blunt in front of her.
He had to say, "I'm working on it, hoping it will be soon."
The old man laughed and said, "Why? Is the girl beside you making it inconvenient for you to say?"
"Yes." Afraid of being too obvious and scaring her off, "I'll tell you next time."
"Alright then," the old man said, "But you should hurry, even if she's not yet your girlfriend, bring her home for a meal so I can meet her."
The old man trusts Zhao Dingli's taste.
He is not easily fooled.
