Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 111

Chapter 111

“Huh?”

Lin Chuqing looked up, confused.

At that moment, the usually ice-cold CEO appeared momentarily dazed, looking surprisingly adorable.

Then, excitement surged within her.

“President Xu, are you saying you’re willing to cooperate with me?”

“I initially had no plans to collaborate. Although the conflict between you and that young master of the Chu family is entirely his fault, I chose not to intervene out of respect for Brother Chu.”

Xu Hao paused for a moment before continuing, “However… I see a reflection of my daughter, Mingkong, in you. That resilience in the face of hardship—I admire that.”

Of course, his words were just an excuse.

He simply wanted to leave a good impression on this ice-cold female CEO.

In reality, his focus was solely on benefits and gains—he didn’t care who was right or wrong.

Lin Chuqing’s earlier disappointment vanished instantly.

She now looked at Xu Hao with newfound respect.

From his words, she picked up on three key traits. Even when his friends made mistakes, he refrained from interfering as long as there was something to gain, demonstrating both fairness and loyalty. His willingness to cooperate simply because she reminded him of his daughter revealed a deep sense of paternal love. A man with such integrity and emotion couldn’t possibly have harmed Zheng Feifan’s father, as claimed.

“Thank you, President Xu. I truly appreciate your trust.”

Hope rekindled in Lin Chuqing’s heart as she expressed her gratitude.

“I’m happy to collaborate, but I have one condition,” Xu Hao stated.

Hearing that he had a condition, Lin Chuqing felt a jolt of unease and took a deep breath.

“Please go ahead, President Xu. If it’s within my power, I’ll do it without hesitation.”

“I want to settle the payment for your company’s products in advance, but I’ll take the goods later.”

“You know my company is heavily invested in electric car production. Since we haven’t produced many units yet, our demand for new energy batteries isn’t urgent.”

Xu Hao paused before adding, “And… I don’t want Brother Chu to know about our collaboration just yet.”

Lin Chuqing was stunned.

If she heard correctly, Xu Hao meant—

He would pay upfront for all her available products but wouldn’t take delivery immediately.

Wasn’t this too generous?

It felt like he was outright funding her, yet he wasn’t asking for equity.

He was simply buying products but leaving them with her.

“President Xu, this… isn’t that a bit too much?” Lin Chuqing hesitated, feeling as if she had stumbled upon an unexpected windfall.

“Are you unwilling, President Lin?” Xu Hao raised an eyebrow.

“No… it’s not that…” Lin Chuqing quickly shook her head.

This deal was entirely in her favor—why would she refuse?

“But if you don’t take the goods and just leave them in my company, aren’t you worried there might be issues with the products later?” she asked.

Xu Hao laughed heartily and replied, “If it were anyone else, I might be concerned. But with you, President Lin, I have an inexplicable sense of trust.”

Lin Chuqing felt deeply moved.

Ever since taking over the company, she had faced endless skepticism and doubt.

This was the first time someone had placed such unconditional trust in her.

She nodded firmly.

“In that case, I accept the collaboration. Please rest assured, President Xu—I guarantee there won’t be a single issue with the products.”

Xu Hao naturally appeared to trust her.

But in reality, it wasn’t about trust.

Because in the end, she and her company would both be his.

After learning that Lin Chuqing’s company was developing new battery technology, he realized its immense potential.

If she succeeded, it would be groundbreaking.

Xu Hao saw this as his entry point into another industry—his first step toward dominance in the electric vehicle market.

He was already expanding his production capacity, and with this ice-cold CEO holding the key to new battery technology, he wouldn’t let the opportunity slip away.

And then there was the Chu family. His sister-in-law, Yao Xinrui, controlled an electronics company.

Xu Hao wanted that too.

For now, he paid without taking the goods—partly because of Chu Xiong.

But this was temporary.

He had already ordered an investigation into the Chu family. Once they were weakened and absorbed into his fold, the concerns would vanish.

Meanwhile, playing this role earned him goodwill from Lin Chuqing—why not take advantage of that?

A quick glance at the system interface:

[Ding… Lin Chuqing feels touched. Emotional value +123…]

The two then discussed the details of their collaboration.

Lin Chuqing, eager to fund her research, planned to clear out her inventory—worth 80 million.

Xu Hao agreed immediately.

He promised that his company would wire the funds once he returned.

He also reminded her to keep their deal confidential.

Lin Chuqing nodded seriously.

She would quietly use the funds for research without publicizing it.

Not only that, she would act as though she hadn’t secured any funding—so the Chu family wouldn’t grow suspicious.

Xu Hao had shown her such trust. Repaying that trust with caution was the least she could do.

After finalizing their deal, the two walked out of the office.

Outside—

Zheng Feifan anxiously paced back and forth.

He had no idea what was happening inside.

Lin Chuqing and Xu Hao were alone in the office, and that made him uneasy.

His face was dark with frustration.

Several times, he had walked up to the door, tempted to barge in.

But he held back, fearing he’d anger Lin Chuqing.

Over an hour had passed.

Just as he couldn’t bear it any longer and was about to storm inside, the door finally opened.

He immediately looked up—

Lin Chuqing and Xu Hao walked out, chatting and laughing.

Zheng Feifan’s heart sank as his eyes darted back and forth between them.

Thankfully—

Lin Chuqing seemed completely normal. Nothing inappropriate had happened.

As they reached the exit, Xu Hao suddenly turned back and said with a hint of emotion, “No need to see me off, President Lin.”

Xu Hao extended his hand. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

“I had a great conversation with you today, President Lin. Although we couldn’t collaborate this time, there will be other opportunities.”

Lin Chuqing froze for a moment, staring at the outstretched hand.

Once she realized he was asking for a handshake, she hesitated.

Despite being in the business world, she had never shaken hands with anyone. She valued her personal space and avoided unnecessary physical contact.

Over time, word spread that she never shook hands.

Eventually, even those negotiating deals with her stopped trying.

Xu Hao must have been unaware of this exception.

When he winked at her, Lin Chuqing subtly glanced around and noticed that people were watching them.

Clearly, this was a move to prevent their cooperation from reaching the Chu family.

Thinking about how Xu Hao had looked out for her, she knew that openly rejecting him now would embarrass him.

Worse, it might even jeopardize their deal.

After a moment of deliberation, she smiled and extended her hand.

For the first time, she attempted a handshake with a man.

A flicker of satisfaction crossed Xu Hao’s eyes.

Of course, he knew about her no-handshake rule.

He had thoroughly investigated these female leads.

But so what?

Rules were meant to be broken.

He had just claimed another “first” from her.

The handshake was also a strategic move—to harvest a fresh wave of emotional value.

Their hands barely touched before separating.

But in that brief moment, Xu Hao felt the smooth, cool texture of her delicate fingers.

Imagining these soft, icy hands performing delicate handiwork… now that would be an experience worth trying once she was his.

[Ding… Lin Chuqing feels something unusual. Emotional Value +234…]

[Ding… Zheng Feifan is burning with rage. Emotional Value +876…]

After the handshake, Xu Hao turned and left.

Two stunned figures remained.

For the first time, Lin Chuqing had shaken hands with a man. The unfamiliar sensation unsettled her.

Meanwhile, Zheng Feifan was losing his mind.

He had known from the start that Xu Hao was dangerous, which was why he never wanted him alone with Lin Chuqing.

And now, look what happened.

Just an hour together, and she had already broken her own rule.

This was a bad sign.

On their first meeting, Xu Hao had effortlessly convinced her to shake hands.

If they kept interacting, who knew what would happen next?

Zheng Feifan suddenly saw a resemblance between Lin Chuqing and the beautiful landlady from before.

He couldn’t let this continue.

He had to do something.

After a moment of deep thought, he sighed in frustration.

He had never stopped investigating Xu Hao.

A man like Xu Hao—cunning and ruthless—had built an empire from nothing. He had to have done some shady, immoral things along the way.

But to his surprise, he found nothing.

The Xu Group was squeaky clean.

Xu Hao had never been caught in any wrongdoing.

Could Xu Hao really be a good person?

Zheng Feifan refused to believe it.

His instincts were sharp, and he had been closely observing Xu Hao.

Just now, he had caught a glimpse of triumph in Xu Hao’s eyes.

A man like that couldn’t possibly be good.

The only explanation was that Xu Hao was too cautious. Just because the investigation found nothing didn’t mean he had done nothing.

If he couldn’t dig into Xu Hao’s company, then what about Xu Hao himself?

But Xu Hao had a mid-level dark-force martial artist protecting him. Killing him wasn’t an option.

A dead end.

As for targeting the people around Xu Hao?

Zheng Feifan never even considered it.

After all, he was the protagonist.

His morals and integrity wouldn’t allow him to resort to underhanded tactics.

Xu Hao, on the other hand, had no such reservations.

His strength had finally reached 100.

Xu Hao could sense that he was on the brink of a breakthrough.

Peak Ming Jin—just one more point, and he’d step into the realm of An Jin.

For others, this bottleneck could take years or even decades to surpass.

For him, it was just a matter of adding a single stat point.

He had already given away nine Xisui Pills—

To Su Wanqiu, his four daughters, landlady Xiao Wanling, teacher-student duo Xia Qingge and Wang Xueying, and his “adopted” daughter Xu Fangfei.

Speaking of that teacher-student combo…

Should he arrange something for them soon?

Inside the office—

Xia Qingge and Li Yunshu whispered to each other.

“Qingge, do you really think Uncle Xu likes young girls? That… that can’t be possible, right?”

Li Yunshu’s cheeks flushed red, her eyes filled with disbelief.

“Don’t believe me? Why don’t you test it yourself?”
