Chapter 33 Ning Xiangtian

"Xiao Xi, are you back from school?"

On the sofa, a middle-aged man sat upright, his ordinary features not particularly striking.

But his eyes occasionally flashed with brilliance, revealing his inner ambition and strategy. He exuded a faint air of authority, the aura of a leader.

Ning Xiangtian!

This name held a certain magic!

In China, even a three-year-old child would recognize it.

Investment tycoon and, a business genius; these were just some of the accolades bestowed upon him.

But those weren't all.

Ning Xiangtian had an even more impressive title:

The richest man in China!!!

He had topped the Forbes China Rich List for six consecutive years, his position unchallenged.

The legendary stories of Ning Xiangtian could be told for three days and three nights.

And Ning Xi was his only daughter.

To ensure Ning Xi had a normal childhood, Ning Xiangtian shielded her from the public eye.

Almost no one in China knew that Ning Xiangtian had a daughter.

At the company, Ning Xiangtian was the chairman.

He was strong and decisive.

But at home, he was just a husband and a father.

All his tenderness was reserved for his wife and daughter.

To him, his wife and daughter were the most precious gifts from heaven.

Especially his daughter, Ning Xi...

"Yes."

Ning Xi replied, not intending to linger in the living room.

She didn't like being around her father, as the atmosphere was too oppressive.

She preferred to be with her mother, where the atmosphere was warm and cheerful.

Seeing his daughter walking towards the stairs, a look of defeat appeared on Ning Xiangtian's face.

He put down his documents and beckoned to Ning Xi.

"Xiao Xi, am I that scary? Come here and sit with me for a while."

Ning Xi took off her backpack and reluctantly walked over.

"Dad, is there something? If not, I'm going upstairs to do my homework. I'm in my senior year now, and I have a lot of schoolwork every day."

Ning Xiangtian's eyelids twitched, and his voice was filled with helplessness. As he poured water, he couldn't help but smile wryly. "If I remember correctly, you said the same thing last time, and the time before that."

"Xiao Xi, how long has it been since we last had a proper conversation? Do you dislike your dad that much?"

"Do I?"

Ning Xi blinked and muttered, "I've been so busy with school lately that I don't even remember. Besides, you're my dad, how could I possibly dislike you? Wouldn't that mean losing my allowance?!"

"You girl..."

Ning Xiangtian shook his head and explained, "Since you were little, even when you made mistakes, I never deducted your allowance. You can't accuse me like that!"

"Name one mistake I've made, just one."

Ning Xi stretched out her right hand and looked at her father silently.

Ning Xiangtian: "..."

He was defeated!

His eloquence, which had never failed him before, was completely useless in front of his daughter.

A single sentence from her could leave him speechless.

This ability to silence him with a single word was exactly like his wife's.

The old saying was true.

Like mother, like daughter...

"Ahem..."

A rare look of embarrassment appeared on Ning Xiangtian's face. "Well, let's change the subject, change the subject."

"How are your studies going lately?"

"Same as always."

Seeing that her father didn't intend to let her go anytime soon, Ning Xi opened her backpack and took out the handwritten math test paper Ye Fan had given her. But before she could take out her pen, the test paper was snatched away.

"Oh?"

Ning Xiangtian stared at the test paper in his hand and said in surprise, "Is your school so short of funds? Even the test papers are handwritten now. Should I donate some money to Zhenhua High School?"

This time, it was Ning Xi's turn to be speechless.

She had heard similar remarks at least twenty times in the past three years of high school.

"Dad!"

"Haven't you given up on that idea yet?!"

"I'm getting along very well with my classmates at school, don't mess things up."

Ning Xiangtian laughed dryly, then turned his attention to the test paper.

At first glance, he didn't think much of it, but the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.

After reading the entire test paper, he said with admiration, "Your math teacher is quite skilled. These questions are very well-designed."

"You... can understand it?"

Ning Xi was stunned, a look of surprise on her fair face.

Ning Xiangtian: "..."

"Ahem!"

"Xiao Xi, your dad graduated with a master's degree from Tsinghua University."

Ning Xi pouted. "Then why haven't I seen you tutor me before?"

"I..."

Ning Xiangtian choked, not knowing how to respond.

Couldn't they have a normal conversation?!

"Pfft!"

Seeing her father's speechless expression, Ning Xi suddenly laughed. It was like a hundred flowers blooming, refreshing and pleasant.

"Alright, I was just kidding. I know you're working hard to make money for our family."

"I like hearing that. Say a few more nice things, and I'll double your allowance next month!"

"That's all."

"..."

Ning Xiangtian got up and sat next to Ning Xi, spreading the test paper on the coffee table. "Come on, try doing it. From today onwards, Dad will tutor you every day."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Ning Xi's eyes were filled with doubt.

She knew very well how busy her father was.

He was always flying around, rarely at home.

Sometimes, she wouldn't even see him for a month.

As for tutoring her every day?

She had never dared to think about it, never even imagined it!!!

Because Ning Xi knew very well that it was simply impossible.

But...

She stared at Ning Xiangtian, her eyes full of confusion.

Was this her dad???

Could it be that he had been possessed by some unknown creature?!

"Of course it's true!"

The college entrance exam was the most important stage for a child.

Ning Xiangtian understood this as well, so he had canceled all his travel arrangements for the next three months, just to be with his daughter during this crucial period.

He didn't plan to tell Ning Xi about this.

Ning Xi smiled faintly and didn't say anything else.

She picked up her pen and started working on the test paper.

But as soon as she started, her brows furrowed slightly, making one feel pity for her.

As time passed, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Ning Xi's forehead.

Two big words were written on her pretty face:

Frustration!

What... what kind of questions were these?!

Every question had a trap, and they were all her weaknesses...

...

Unknowingly, two hours had passed.

8:07 p.m.

Ning Xi put down her pen, her tense emotions gradually relaxing.

This math test paper was the most difficult one she had ever done.

Bar none!

Ning Xiangtian handed her a tissue, his face full of concern. "Are you tired? Come on, wipe your sweat first."

Taking the tissue, Ning Xi wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered, "These questions are so difficult..."

"Let me see."

Ning Xiangtian picked up the test paper and started reading.

A few minutes later, he silently put down the test paper and asked, "Xiao Xi, did your math teacher give you this test paper specifically?"

To be honest, he was very surprised.

From Ning Xi's answers, Ning Xiangtian could tell something was wrong.

All the questions on the test paper were targeted at his daughter's weaknesses. Such precise and targeted tutoring was beyond the capabilities of an average teacher.

"No..."

After hesitating for a moment, Ning Xi shook her head gently.

"Then who was it?"
