Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 646: My Phone Is Out of Battery

Liu Sixu looked at Ye Fei’s reaction as soon as Ye Ning introduced him.

To his surprise, Ye Fei seemed not to recognize him at all, as if she’d never heard of his name.

Liu Sixu snorted inwardly; Ye Fei sure knows how to put on a show.

Even if she forgot the contest day, he is quite a celebrity who often trends online. How could she not know?

Next, Hua Ciyue mentioned sending an assistant backstage to find them that day.

Only then did Ye Fei show a look of sudden realization.

This really made Liu Sixu quite angry. Did he have that little presence, that hard to remember?

It seems Ye Ning, as a younger sister, is much more cunning than Ye Ning, as an older sister.

Liu Sixu chuckled twice and said, "Ye Fei, you sure have some face!"

"I just wanted to meet you, and yet I couldn’t get your attention."

Ye Fei asked a bit perplexed, "I remember that day backstage, your assistant said we were all being met. When did it become just me?"

Upon hearing this, the people behind them also understood.

It turns out that Liu Sixu’s intentions were not about seeing everyone, but specifically Ye Fei.

He called them all out, but his real target was Ye Fei.

Liu Sixu chuckled lightly; he slightly lowered his head, thinking he was suave, clasped his left hand onto his right wrist, and said, "Ye Fei, pretending to be dumb is no fun now."

He directly took out his phone, "Add me on WeChat? Let’s have a good chat when you’re free."

"Sorry, my phone is out of battery," Ye Fei said.

No sooner had Ye Fei finished saying this than her phone rang.

Ye Fei: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Liu Sixu: "..."

Liu Sixu was even a bit embarrassed and enraged.

Honestly, he’d never chased after a girl before.

Girls always chased him.

Whenever he liked someone, just one look from him and they’d take the initiative.

He thought it would be the same with Ye Fei.

But Ye Fei actually rejected him.

Using such a clumsy excuse as her phone being dead.

In this age, a phone’s vital importance is undeniable when out.

Who would let their phone run out of power?

This excuse was clearly hastily made up, and not sincere at all.

What does this imply?

It implies Ye Fei didn’t care about him at all.

That’s why even her excuse for refusal was perfunctory.

"Ha!" Liu Sixu sneered instantly.

Ye Fei must be deliberately trying to pique his interest!

He’s seen such tricks many times.

Even Ye Ning has used them.

So, in his view, Ye Fei’s little tactics really weren’t much.

However, being humiliated made Liu Sixu unhappy.

Liu Sixu looked at Ye Fei sarcastically, wanting to see how she’d cover up this lie.

But he hadn’t expected that Ye Fei wouldn’t even try to fix her lie.

Ye Fei just took her phone out of her evening purse in front of everyone.

Nodded apologetically, "Excuse me, I need to take a call."

With that, Ye Fei took her phone and headed to the corner near the door.

Liu Sixu: "..."

Alright!

Very well!

Ye Fei really didn’t plan to cover up her lie!

She blatantly and confidently showed him she did it on purpose.

She just didn’t want to give her contact details to him.

"Ha!" Liu Sixu couldn’t help but sneer again.

He truly hadn’t been so slighted before.

Ye Fei even more piques his interest.

By now, Liu Sixu’s feelings toward Ye Fei were no longer simple liking but a desire to possess and conquer her.

With Ye Fei’s teasing manner, intentionally leading him on, he wanted to see what tricks she’d play next.

Ye Fei wasn’t aware that Liu Sixu had already built up his impression of her, and went outside the banquet hall with her phone.

The phone screen displayed "Mr. Zhao", indicating Zhao Gushen was calling.

Calling Zhao Gushen as Mr. Zhao wasn’t out of politeness or unfamiliarity.

Her current relationship with Zhao Gushen was neither distant nor awkward.

Because Zhao Gushen had set his name on her phone to Mrs. Zhao.

Seeing that, she set his name as Mr. Zhao to pair with it.

As for Zhao Gushen’s earlier attempts to set her contact name to "darling" or "dear," Ye Fei firmly refused.

Those were too cheesy; she herself couldn’t accept it. A normal label was better.

Ye Fei quickly answered the call.

"Mr. Zhao," Ye Fei joked.

Initially, Ye Fei seldom called him that.

Usually, she called him Gu Shen, Gu Shen. But seeing the name on the screen reminded her of this joking reason, so she felt interested enough to joke.

On the other side, Zhao Gushen raised his eyebrows slightly and responded to Ye Fei with a chuckle, "Mrs. Zhao, I’m just finished here, I’ll come to you this time."

Ye Fei nodded, "Don’t rush; I’m still early here."

Zhao Gushen agreed, then asked, "How are things on your side? Has anyone bullied you?"

Ye Fei intended to tell him about Ye Ning and Liu Sixu, but she reckoned if she mentioned it now, Zhao Gushen might drive all the way over at full speed.

That would be too dangerous, making her worried.

So she paused briefly and said, "Nothing, there are people from Changping Academy here, they’re taking good care of me."

Zhao Gushen certainly didn’t miss Ye Fei’s slight pause in her speech midway, but he didn’t press further.

It was obvious Ye Fei didn’t want to talk about it; whatever it was, it was unlikely to be hashed out over the phone.

He’d be coming over soon anyway, and he could ask her in person then.

Ye Fei couldn’t keep things from him for too long anyway.

So Zhao Gushen hung up and headed for Shengyue.

After the call ended, Ye Fei returned, and Liu Sixu rudely asked, "Didn’t you say your phone was dead?"

Ye Fei raised an eyebrow, a gesture very much like Zhao Gushen’s, with the same contemptuous air, as if looking down from above, not considering people.

Liu Sixu was truly irked by Ye Fei’s expression.

A little girl, where did she get such aura?

He felt like he’d seen this expression somewhere before, yet couldn’t recall at the moment, but was sure it wasn’t Ye Fei.

Liu Sixu didn’t know yet, but being with Zhao Gushen all the time, Ye Fei was influenced by him.

Whether it was the stark difference in temperament he noticed initially between Ye Fei and Ye Ning, seeming naturally privileged.

Or now, her aura, some unconscious small movements, all were influenced by Zhao Gushen.

Even if Ye Ning cultivated herself later on, slowly imitating and learning, she still wouldn’t quite make it.

She didn’t have someone like Zhao Gushen to be with her daily, influencing her.

Moreover, Ye Fei wasn’t just surrounded by Zhao Gushen, but the entire Zhao Family.
