What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

37

As soon as Huo Ning finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

She regretted it immediately.

She had let her guard down; the atmosphere here had made Huo Ning too relaxed, causing her to accidentally speak the truth.

Feeling uneasy, she looked up at Xie Lingluo.

Xie Lingluo, true to her profession as a psychologist, didn't change her expression at all.

She still maintained a serious listening posture, encouraging Huo Ning to speak, and even showed a hint of satisfaction at her words.

"I'm glad you're being so honest with me," Xie Lingluo smiled.

What psychologists dread the most is patients who are reluctant to seek treatment and overly guarded with their doctors.

Fortunately, Huo Ning wasn't like that.

Hearing this, Huo Ning also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Lingluo continued to encourage her: "We'll meet again in the future. I hope you can maintain this state. Let's work hard together, okay?"

Huo Ning smiled somewhat forcedly: "Okay."

Another session? QAQ

After the consultation, Huo Ning felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Ning Ning, are you tired? Have some snacks here, and I'll call your father to pick you up, okay?"

Huo Ning, feeling completely drained, collapsed on the sofa and nodded slightly.

Xie Lingluo found her appearance adorable and chuckled.

She then picked up the phone, asked the reception to send in cake and milk, instructed them to keep Huo Ning company for a while, and went to the adjacent room herself.

"Knock knock..."

"Come in."

Xie Lingluo, now in the role of a visitor, paused for a moment, showing a helpless smile, and pushed open the door.

"Mr. Huo, regarding Ning Ning's situation, I think it's necessary to have a chat with you."

Huo Xiaozheng put down his phone and made a gesture inviting her to speak.

...

When Huo Xiaozheng came to pick up Huo Ning, she was already dozing off.

She squinted, caught sight of Huo Xiaozheng, jumped off the sofa, walked to his side, held his hand, and looked up to ask, "Can we go now?"

Her voice was a bit muffled, like someone who had just woken up in the early morning, still with a hint of grumpiness.

"Of course we can."

Huo Xiaozheng bent down, picked her up with one arm, and let her head rest on his shoulder. "If you're tired, take a nap. You'll be just in time for dinner when you wake up."

After saying this, he nodded slightly to Xie Lingluo and left.

Originally, Huo Ning didn't feel very sleepy, but as soon as her head touched Huo Xiaozheng's shoulder, she was hit by a wave of heavy fatigue and fell asleep within minutes.

Huo Xiaozheng didn't wake her up and took her straight back to the company.

After instructing Yin Su to look after Huo Ning, Huo Xiaozheng immersed himself in his work.

"Those protesting employees belong to the southern subsidiary. The subsidiary's capital chain broke, and to quickly secure cash, the subsidiary's general manager chose to lay off staff. The number of layoffs was significant, and no corresponding compensation was given, so the employees are protesting."
