What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

119

The time after Father's Day seemed to have been put on fast-forward.

After Huo Yueze finished his graduation trip, he stayed at Panlong Bay for an extended period, taking Huo Guining out for food, drinks, and fun.

The Father's Day gift seemed to have given Huo Xiaozheng a sense of security.

He no longer obsessed over whether Huo Guining was by his side every day, and he even found his nephew more pleasant to look at.

Huo Yueze became the new generation's 'caretaker', but he enjoyed it thoroughly.

Other people's older brothers didn't like taking their little tagalongs along, as it dampened their fun.

Huo Yueze was different; he was adamant about bringing Ningning to every place where he could show her off.

Whether it was the arcade, restaurants, sports fields, or even just walking down the street, if passersby gave Ningning a second glance, Huo Yueze would seize the opportunity to boast.

Although Huo Guining found it exasperating, she benefited from Huo Yueze's enthusiasm. That summer, she painted every corner of South City.

Gradually, Huo Yueze expanded their playground to neighboring cities.

However, each time, Huo Xiaozheng would insist that the two go together when he was on business trips, so he could look after Huo Guining.

In early August, Huo Guining once again visited Xie Lingluo's counseling office.

As usual, Huo Xiaozheng dropped her off in the room and then went to the adjacent room to wait.

Xie Lingluo had cut her hair a bit shorter, making her look more intellectual and gentle.

She sat down across from Huo Guining and greeted her with a smile.

Huo Guining politely replied with a "hello."

"It's been a while since we last met. How have you been lately?" Xie Lingluo asked in a tone reminiscent of old friends, like a warm current flowing through Huo Guining's heart.

"Pretty good, I've been going out to play with my brother every day," Huo Guining smiled.

Xie Lingluo's dark eyes softened: "Sounds like you're living it up."

Huo Guining nodded: "Not just sounds like it, it really is quite carefree, haha."

Xie Lingluo couldn't help but laugh too.

After laughing for a bit, Xie Lingluo asked, "How's your health?"

Huo Guining thought for a moment before saying, "Much better than before. I haven't had any chest tightness for a long time."

Xie Lingluo: "Oh? It seems you've become very healthy. Do you like your current state?"

Huo Guining affirmed without hesitation: "I love it. In another month, I'll be starting school."

After a pause, she added, "At the same school as my brother. Because he's directly advancing to the high school division."

Xie Lingluo nodded in understanding: "How's your relationship with your dad?"

Huo Guining's eyes lit up: "Very good. And with my brother taking care of me, dad hasn't been as tired lately."

Xie Lingluo: "Ningning has learned to be considerate of her dad, that's wonderful."

They chatted for a while longer, and soon, Xie Lingluo announced the end of the session.

Huo Guining glanced at the timer, somewhat surprised: "Is it over so quickly today?"
