Having learned from the previous incident, this time, the Huo family deliberately kept Huo Guining away from online discussions.

Huo Yueze went even further, directly cutting off Huo Guining's Wi-Fi.

After dinner, having bid farewell to Huo Jing, Huo Guining was about to watch some anime when she found herself confused: "Brother?"

Huo Yueze felt a bit guilty. He rubbed his nose and said with a straight face, "You must be tired after playing all day. You should go to bed early!"

As he spoke, he pushed her towards the bedroom.

Huo Guining looked at the time; it was only eight in the evening.

"Brother, is there something you're not telling me?" Huo Guining felt strange. "Cutting off my Wi-Fi won't help, you know. I still have my phone."

Huo Yueze, in his concern, had forgotten about that.

"Then don't use your phone either for now."

Huo Guining shook her head. "No, I haven't called Dad yet today."

That's right.

It had been less than two days since Huo Xiaozheng went abroad, but Huo Guining would video call him every day to ask about his situation.

Sometimes Huo Yueze couldn't tell who was the father and who was the daughter.

As they were arguing, Huo Xiaozheng's call came in.

Huo Guining quickly answered, "Dad!"

Huo Xiaozheng was startled. The urgency in her voice made him a bit worried. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Huo Guining shook her head and plopped down on the sofa. "Brother cut off my internet and is trying to take my phone."

Knowing that Huo Yueze was worried about her seeing negative comments online, Huo Xiaozheng felt relieved. So he teased her, "How could your brother be so naughty?"

Huo Guining was taken aback and hurriedly explained, "Brother isn't naughty. He's just worried that I'm tired from playing all day and wants me to go to bed early."

Huo Xiaozheng said, "Oh, so your brother is quite nice then."

Huo Guining nodded.

"Then shouldn't you go wash up and get ready for bed?" Huo Xiaozheng's tone was coaxing.

To be honest, he wasn't sure how Guining would react if she saw the online comments.

But just in case, it would be better if she didn't see them before he had dealt with the situation.

Thinking of this, he added, "If you go to bed early today, Dad will bring you a present tomorrow."

"Dad, are you coming back tomorrow?" Huo Guining was a bit excited.

Although Huo Yueze was very nice, and her uncle and aunt were good too, Huo Guining still preferred living at her own home.

"Yes, I'll be back tomorrow. So rest early, and I'll pick you up in the evening to go home."

Huo Xiaozheng didn't tell her that he was already on his way to the airport.

With this situation, he felt he would be more at ease if he was by her side.

Since Huo Xiaozheng said so, Huo Guining obediently complied.

She handed her phone to Huo Yueze to keep. "Brother will give me back my phone tomorrow, right?"

Huo Yueze hadn't expected her to be so obedient and immediately answered, "Of course! A gentleman's word is his bond!"

Huo Guining felt reassured.
