What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

Huo Ning likely felt she had become a bit thinner when trying on clothes.

Huo Xiaozheng contacted Shen Shiyan and asked him to recommend a nutritionist.

"Just eat well, and you'll gradually gain weight," Huo Xiaozheng said reassuringly after hanging up the phone, seeing that the little girl was indeed somewhat unhappy.

Huo Ning pushed her luck: "Then can I have burgers and fried chicken for dinner?"

Huo Xiaozheng: ...

On this day, Huo Ning was destined to miss out on fried chicken.

Come dinnertime, Zheng Jinxiu, concerned about her health, repeatedly instructed Huo Xiaozheng to bring Ning Ning back to the old mansion for dinner without fail.

Unable to resist the temptation of lobster, Huo Ning followed Huo Xiaozheng back to the old mansion.

At seven in the evening, the two arrived at the old mansion right on time.

On the way, worried that Huo Ning might be hungry, Huo Xiaozheng gave her a small bread roll to eat.

With cheese-baked lobster on her mind, Huo Ning managed to resist the temptation and didn't eat another bite.

Now, as soon as she entered the door, her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the dining table.

Zheng Jinxiu smiled, "Is Ning Ning hungry?"

Huo Ning felt a bit embarrassed: "I just had a small bread roll on the way, so I'm not that hungry yet..."

Just craving, she silently added in her heart.

Zheng Jinxiu saw through it but didn't say anything. She immediately called for Old Master Huo, and the family of four sat down to eat.

Huo Yueze usually lived at his own home, which was closer to school.

Only on weekends, when Huo Yueze's parents were too busy to look after him, would they occasionally drop him off at the old mansion to keep his grandparents company.

At this moment, without Huo Yueze to liven up the atmosphere, the dining table was somewhat quiet.

Huo Ning was eating heartily while her mind wandered.

Suddenly, a piece of broccoli appeared on her plate. Huo Ning frowned and looked up at the owner of the chopsticks.

"You need to eat your vegetables too," Huo Xiaozheng said calmly, ignoring her displeasure. "You need to eat all kinds of food to grow nice and plump."

Because of her experience with illness in her previous life, Huo Ning hated seeing herself look sickly and unhealthy.

Now, hearing Huo Xiaozheng say this, she hesitated despite her usual deep aversion to vegetables.

"Really?"

Huo Xiaozheng smiled gently: "Of course, I wouldn't lie to you."

Huo Ning looked a bit dejected but obediently swallowed a piece of broccoli.

Little did she know, this was just the beginning. After the broccoli came snow peas, carrots, and celery.

Frightened, Huo Ning kept backing away, forgetting even about her beloved lobster, frantically waving her hands in refusal.

"I'm full!"

Old Master Huo burst out laughing.

But he quickly composed himself and said seriously: "Children don't like vegetables, but we can cultivate the taste gradually. No need to rush."
