What to Do If I Become the Villain’s Daughter

Huo Guining keenly sensed Huo Xiaozheng's doubts.0

After dinner, while Huo Xiaozheng was on the phone, she snuck into the room and replaced the medicine with vitamins.0

As for the actual pills, she secretly hid them away.0

When Huo Xiaozheng entered the room, he "happened" to catch Huo Guining taking her medicine.0

Huo Xiaozheng picked up the vitamins from the table and examined them carefully.0

Huo Guining let him look without any hesitation.0

"Dad, is there something wrong with these vitamins?"0

Seeing her innocent expression, Huo Xiaozheng's doubts gradually dissipated, and he chided himself for being too suspicious.0

"These vitamin capsules are a bit too large. I'll have someone get you smaller ones."0

Huo Guining obediently nodded.0

Huo Xiaozheng pulled out his suitcase and opened it, gesturing for her to look: "I brought you some gifts."0

Inside the black suitcase were various types of rabbit plush toys and colorful packages.0

Huo Guining exclaimed in shock: "Are all of these for me?"0

Huo Xiaozheng pulled up a chair and sat down, nodding: "They're all yours. See if there's anything you like."0

Huo Guining plopped down on the carpet and began unwrapping the gifts.0

There were various styles of rabbit plush toys, puzzles, cute-shaped candies and chocolates, and paints.0

Huo Guining's eyes sparkled: "These paints look amazing!"0

"If you like them, I'll buy you more."0

"Can we buy them in China too?" Huo Guining asked casually.0

Huo Xiaozheng nodded: "Yes, we can."0

"Then we should have bought them in China. It would have saved you the trouble."0

Huo Xiaozheng was taken aback. Was Ningning worried about him being tired?0

At this thought, he smiled: "Some limited editions are only available abroad."0

Huo Guining, not realizing how her casual comment had pleased her father, responded with a vague "Oh."0

She thought to herself: She was starting to understand the world of the rich.0

Having slept too long in the afternoon, by ten o'clock in the evening, Huo Guining still wasn't sleepy.0

Huo Xiaozheng didn't force her to sleep, instead turning on the bedside lamp and letting her watch anime in bed.0

Huo Guining turned the volume down to its lowest setting and snuggled comfortably into the blankets.0

Soon after, intermittent snoring sounds came from beside her.0

Due to her weak constitution, Huo Guining had always been a deep sleeper.0

This was the first time she had heard Huo Xiaozheng snore.0

So even tycoons snore, huh?0

Huo Guining chuckled at her own thought.0

She propped herself up to look at Huo Xiaozheng.0

He must have been truly exhausted, sleeping so deeply.0

Even tycoons have it tough, she mused.0

Huo Guining sighed, reached over to turn off the bedside lamp, and nestled into the covers, ready to sleep.0

Before closing her iPad, she habitually opened her social media app.0

As usual, she first looked at the recent trending news.0

She scrolled through page after page, then suddenly froze. Photos of herself and Huo Yueze appeared on the homepage.0

Huo Guining finally realized why Huo Yueze had tried to stop her from using her phone yesterday, even resorting to the foolish act of cutting off the internet.0

Having learned from previous experiences, Huo Guining was now able to face such situations with a bit more composure.0

She dimmed the screen brightness and slowly read through the entire story.0

Upon learning that the bespectacled couple had been struck by the arrow she had shot, Huo Guining felt quite satisfied.0

She chose to selectively ignore the negative comments, no longer paying attention to them.0

After closing the iPad, she lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.0

The bedroom was pitch black, with only the sound of Huo Xiaozheng's breathing audible.0

Huo Guining finally understood why Huo Xiaozheng was so tired.0

Thank you, she silently mouthed, slowly closing her eyes.0

The next day.0

After breakfast, Huo Guining went to work with Huo Xiaozheng as usual.0

Before leaving, just in case, she still put on her small backpack.0

Upon arriving at the company, Huo Xiaozheng first sent Huo Guining to her swimming lesson.0

After the swimming lesson, Huo Guining returned to the office with Yin Su.0

Several staff members from subordinate departments were standing in Huo Xiaozheng's office, apparently being scolded.0

"Have you even looked at this project proposal yourselves?"0

"How is this any different from garbage?"0

Huo Xiaozheng's tone was gloomy, his brows furrowed, his anger palpable.0

"Knock knock."0

"Come in."0

Yin Su, startled by Huo Xiaozheng's tone, immediately straightened her back and carefully pushed open the office door.0

She let Huo Guining in.0

Huo Guining habitually greeted Huo Xiaozheng: "Dad..."0

She ran a couple of steps towards Huo Xiaozheng, belatedly realizing the atmosphere was a bit off.0

Huo Xiaozheng took a deep breath, softening his expression: "Ningning, come here."0

Only then did Huo Guining muster the courage to approach: "Dad, are you angry?"0

"Mm. Is your swimming lesson over?"0

"Yes."0

"Have Yin Su take you to get something to eat. Dad still has some work to do here."0

Huo Guining nodded obediently.0

She gently advised: "Don't be angry, getting sick from anger isn't worth it."0

Huo Xiaozheng was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but laugh.0

"Alright, Dad won't be angry. After you finish eating, you can come back and draw."0

Seeing him smile, Huo Guining felt relieved.0

She walked away with light steps, led by Yin Su to the break room.0

The office door closed.0

Huo Xiaozheng looked at the subordinates before him and sighed: "Forget it. Take this proposal back, revise it, and submit it again."0

The subordinates glanced at each other, their faces lighting up with joy. They hurriedly agreed, grabbed their documents, and rushed out one after another.0

Huo Xiaozheng shook his head, thought of his daughter's face, and couldn't help but chuckle.0

A phone ring broke the silence.0

It was Zuo Qinfang.0

"I've found a teacher for Ningning. When would be a good time for her to meet with Ningning?"0

Huo Xiaozheng checked the time: "How about two o'clock this afternoon?"0

It would be perfect timing after Ningning woke up from her nap to start her drawing lesson.0

Zuo Qinfang: "Alright, I'll have the teacher come to your office in the afternoon."0

"Mm."0

After lunch, Huo Guining slept until two o'clock, when Huo Xiaozheng woke her up to meet someone.0

"In a moment, a teacher will be coming to teach you how to draw."0

Huo Guining hadn't expected Huo Xiaozheng to arrange things so quickly. Although a bit dazed, she still obediently agreed.0

"Dad has to go on a sudden business trip this afternoon. Your brother will come to keep you company after his classes."0

Huo Guining was surprised: "Another business trip?"0

Huo Xiaozheng frowned: "Something urgent came up."0

Huo Guining immediately expressed understanding: "Okay."0

Seeing her expression unchanged, Huo Xiaozheng felt somewhat relieved.0

"When your brother finishes school, you'll go home with him. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."0

"When are you leaving?"0

Huo Xiaozheng patiently explained: "I'll leave after your brother arrives."0

Huo Guining nodded.0

The tutor arrived, and since the art room wasn't finished being renovated yet, Yin Su found an empty room for them to use temporarily.0

During the lesson, Huo Guining found it a bit difficult to concentrate.0

However, since this was just an initial session for the tutor to assess Huo Guining's skill level, she didn't criticize too harshly.0

As it neared 4:30 PM, the lesson ended.0

Huo Xiaozheng escorted Huo Guining downstairs. Soon after, a familiar black Maybach pulled up in front of her.0

The window rolled down, revealing Huo Yueze's sunny, handsome face: "Little sister!"0
