Huo Guining keenly sensed Huo Xiaozheng's doubts.0
After dinner, while Huo Xiaozheng was on the phone, she snuck into the room and replaced the medicine with vitamins.0
As for the actual pills, she secretly hid them away.0
When Huo Xiaozheng entered the room, he "happened" to catch Huo Guining taking her medicine.0
Huo Xiaozheng picked up the vitamins from the table and examined them carefully.0
Huo Guining let him look without any hesitation.0
"Dad, is there something wrong with these vitamins?"0
Seeing her innocent expression, Huo Xiaozheng's doubts gradually dissipated, and he chided himself for being too suspicious.0
"These vitamin capsules are a bit too large. I'll have someone get you smaller ones."0
Huo Guining obediently nodded.0
Huo Xiaozheng pulled out his suitcase and opened it, gesturing for her to look: "I brought you some gifts."0
Inside the black suitcase were various types of rabbit plush toys and colorful packages.0
Huo Guining exclaimed in shock: "Are all of these for me?"0
Huo Xiaozheng pulled up a chair and sat down, nodding: "They're all yours. See if there's anything you like."0
Huo Guining plopped down on the carpet and began unwrapping the gifts.0
There were various styles of rabbit plush toys, puzzles, cute-shaped candies and chocolates, and paints.0
Huo Guining's eyes sparkled: "These paints look amazing!"0
"If you like them, I'll buy you more."0
"Can we buy them in China too?" Huo Guining asked casually.0
Huo Xiaozheng nodded: "Yes, we can."0
"Then we should have bought them in China. It would have saved you the trouble."0
Huo Xiaozheng was taken aback. Was Ningning worried about him being tired?0
At this thought, he smiled: "Some limited editions are only available abroad."0
Huo Guining, not realizing how her casual comment had pleased her father, responded with a vague "Oh."0
She thought to herself: She was starting to understand the world of the rich.0
Having slept too long in the afternoon, by ten o'clock in the evening, Huo Guining still wasn't sleepy.0
Huo Xiaozheng didn't force her to sleep, instead turning on the bedside lamp and letting her watch anime in bed.0
Huo Guining turned the volume down to its lowest setting and snuggled comfortably into the blankets.0
Soon after, intermittent snoring sounds came from beside her.0
Due to her weak constitution, Huo Guining had always been a deep sleeper.0
This was the first time she had heard Huo Xiaozheng snore.0
So even tycoons snore, huh?0
Huo Guining chuckled at her own thought.0
She propped herself up to look at Huo Xiaozheng.0
Huo Guining nodded obediently.0
She gently advised: "Don't be angry, getting sick from anger isn't worth it."0
Huo Xiaozheng was momentarily stunned, then couldn't help but laugh.0
"Alright, Dad won't be angry. After you finish eating, you can come back and draw."0
Seeing him smile, Huo Guining felt relieved.0
She walked away with light steps, led by Yin Su to the break room.0
The office door closed.0
Huo Xiaozheng looked at the subordinates before him and sighed: "Forget it. Take this proposal back, revise it, and submit it again."0
The subordinates glanced at each other, their faces lighting up with joy. They hurriedly agreed, grabbed their documents, and rushed out one after another.0
Huo Xiaozheng shook his head, thought of his daughter's face, and couldn't help but chuckle.0
A phone ring broke the silence.0
It was Zuo Qinfang.0
"I've found a teacher for Ningning. When would be a good time for her to meet with Ningning?"0
Huo Xiaozheng checked the time: "How about two o'clock this afternoon?"0
It would be perfect timing after Ningning woke up from her nap to start her drawing lesson.0
Zuo Qinfang: "Alright, I'll have the teacher come to your office in the afternoon."0
"Mm."0
After lunch, Huo Guining slept until two o'clock, when Huo Xiaozheng woke her up to meet someone.0
"In a moment, a teacher will be coming to teach you how to draw."0
Huo Guining hadn't expected Huo Xiaozheng to arrange things so quickly. Although a bit dazed, she still obediently agreed.0
"Dad has to go on a sudden business trip this afternoon. Your brother will come to keep you company after his classes."0
Huo Guining was surprised: "Another business trip?"0
Huo Xiaozheng frowned: "Something urgent came up."0
Huo Guining immediately expressed understanding: "Okay."0
Seeing her expression unchanged, Huo Xiaozheng felt somewhat relieved.0
"When your brother finishes school, you'll go home with him. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."0
"When are you leaving?"0
Huo Xiaozheng patiently explained: "I'll leave after your brother arrives."0
Huo Guining nodded.0
The tutor arrived, and since the art room wasn't finished being renovated yet, Yin Su found an empty room for them to use temporarily.0
During the lesson, Huo Guining found it a bit difficult to concentrate.0
However, since this was just an initial session for the tutor to assess Huo Guining's skill level, she didn't criticize too harshly.0
As it neared 4:30 PM, the lesson ended.0
Huo Xiaozheng escorted Huo Guining downstairs. Soon after, a familiar black Maybach pulled up in front of her.0
The window rolled down, revealing Huo Yueze's sunny, handsome face: "Little sister!"0
