What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

62

Huo Xiaozheng's thoughts aligned with Huo Guining's without prior discussion.

The timing wasn't right yet, and Huo Xiaozheng didn't want Huo Guining to join collective life too early.

Moreover...

He also didn't have time to accompany her 24 hours a day.

Huo Xiaozheng made a sound of agreement, his furrowed brow relaxing.

A glint flashed in Huo Guining's eyes.

"Have you felt unwell these past couple of days?" Huo Xiaozheng asked again.

This time, Huo Guining shook her head even more enthusiastically: "Not at all!"

Huo Xiaozheng was puzzled. Based on this development, Ning's chest pain seemed to be psychosomatic.

In other words, it was physical discomfort caused by psychological factors.

If Huo Yueze could alleviate her chest pain, did it mean that as long as she established trust with those around her...

Then, in the future, she wouldn't need to cling to him so much.

Thinking this way, Huo Xiaozheng felt both relieved and disappointed.

Huo Xiaozheng sighed.

Huo Guining leaned against the window, staring at the scenery outside with an indescribable expression.

Seeing her lost in thought, Huo Xiaozheng didn't disturb her.

He took out his phone and saw a message from Huo Yueze.

"Uncle, you must take Ning to test her IQ. I suspect Ning is a genius!"

From just this short line, Huo Xiaozheng could already imagine Huo Yueze's expression.

Before Huo Xiaozheng could reply, a long voice message quickly came through.

Huo Xiaozheng played it, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Huo Guining seemed to sense something and turned back, startled by his expression: "Dad, did something happen?"

Huo Xiaozheng's face was grave: "Aze says you're a genius."

Huo Guining's heart had been on a rollercoaster all day, never settling down.

Hearing this, she hurriedly explained: "Brother is just joking."

Huo Xiaozheng's expression didn't improve.

"I've already told him, those are just my..."

Huo Xiaozheng interrupted: "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. I just hope you live according to your own wishes."

Huo Guining was stunned.

Originally, she was worried that Huo Xiaozheng would become suspicious of her, but unexpectedly, he was concerned about the pressure that came with being labeled a "genius."

Huo Guining smiled.

Huo Xiaozheng patted her head, thinking that the greater the ability, the heavier the burden.

He hoped his daughter wouldn't have to be so tired anymore.

Huo Guining didn't know what Huo Xiaozheng was thinking, only feeling that she had dodged another bullet.

When they got home, Aunt Xu had already prepared lunch.

After eating her fill, Huo Guining lay down on her little bed for a nap.

Seeing her sleeping soundly, Huo Xiaozheng gently closed the door and headed to his study.

"Sir, Miss Ning's white pills have run out. Do we need to buy more?" Aunt Xu approached quietly, holding Huo Guining's small backpack.
