What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

Chapter 102
As the festivities came to an end, it was nearly ten o'clock in the evening.

Huo Guining sat in the car, whispering to Huo Xiaozheng.

"Dad, can you help Auntie?" Huo Guining said with some concern. "I've been searching for Auntie's name online recently, and it seems she's not trending much anymore."

A hint of amusement flashed in Huo Xiaozheng's otherwise calm eyes. "Alright, Dad understands."

At that moment, Huo Jing, who was hurriedly returning to her film set, let out a big sneeze.

"Achoo! Who's thinking about me?" Huo Jing rubbed her nose.

After returning home, Huo Guining huffed and puffed as she carried her enormous birthday gifts to her bedroom.

Worried she might tire herself out, Huo Xiaozheng handed her a few stuffed toys to carry, letting her feel involved.

Huo Guining dragged the gifts into her walk-in closet and then surveyed her bedroom.

She thoughtfully said to Huo Xiaozheng, "Dad, I'm six years old now."

Huo Xiaozheng removed his tie and set it aside. "Yes, happy birthday!"

Huo Guining shook her head seriously. "Thank you. Dad, shouldn't I be sleeping alone now?"

Huo Xiaozheng's hands paused.

At six years old, she was at an age where gender awareness was developing.

Indeed, she should probably sleep in a separate room from her father. Wouldn't that be better for her health?

But Huo Xiaozheng said, "Dad has prepared birthday gifts for you. Would you like to open them?"

As expected, Guining's attention was quickly diverted.

"Yes! Where are the gifts?"

Huo Xiaozheng pointed towards the sofa.

Six boxes of varying sizes lay neatly on it.

Huo Guining pounced on them like a tiger on its prey.

Like the others, Huo Xiaozheng's gifts were also marked with numbers.

Huo Guining swiftly unwrapped the box marked with '1'.

The box was large, and Huo Guining stood to open it.

Inside was a Hermès baby blanket, a pair of soft pink baby shoes, baby bibs, a pacifier, and a rabbit plush toy with Guining's name embroidered on it.

Huo Xiaozheng sat down on the sofa and said softly, "I wasn't able to be with you when you were born."

"But if I could do it all over again, I would have prepared these things for you at your birth."

"And even more."

Huo Guining's eyes reddened.

Huo Xiaozheng reached out and gently wiped the corner of her eye.

The box for age 2 was smaller, square in shape.

On the blue inner lining lay a diamond-encrusted crown.

"At two years old, you're a little princess who can start to be vain."

Age 3.

A huge LEGO castle.

"Dad can build it with you."

Age 4.

A thin black card lay in the box.

"I hope you learn early that money will never be a worry in your life."
