Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 112

Chapter 112

Xia Qingge was fulfilling her promise to Xu Hao.

Last time, overwhelmed with excitement after receiving a Xisui Pill from him, she had agreed to do him a favor—convincing her new best friend, Li Yunshu. She subtly influenced Li Yunshu’s perception of attractiveness, emphasizing how mature men had a unique charm, unlike their immature peers. Older men were more considerate and attentive. Just imagining being with a charming older man felt like pure bliss.

For some reason, as Xia Qingge spoke about a “handsome older man,” Li Yunshu couldn’t help but picture Xu Hao, her face turning red. Seeing her friend’s reaction, Xia Qingge smirked with satisfaction before delivering her final point.

“Based on my observations, Uncle Xu has no resistance to girls like us.”

Li Yunshu’s eyes widened in shock. “W-What do you mean by that?”

Xia Qingge’s eyes twinkled mischievously. “Uncle Xu has a special fondness for young girls like us.”

“Ah?!” Li Yunshu gasped in disbelief. “N-No way! Uncle Xu has a beloved wife!”

Her words were hesitant, and her expression changed suddenly as she stared at Xia Qingge, suspicion flashing in her eyes. Why would she say that? Could it be… she and Uncle Xu were already involved?

Noticing Li Yunshu’s reaction, Xia Qingge decided to ease up. She suddenly chuckled. “Of course, that’s not true. Uncle Xu adores his daughters. To him, we’re just like his own children.”

Li Yunshu let out a deep breath of relief. That made sense. How could Uncle Xu possibly be interested in girls like them?

But… why did she feel a little disappointed?

Before, if she had heard rumors about Xu Hao being interested in younger girls, she would have been immediately on guard. But now… after the times he had saved her like a hero, her feelings toward him had already shifted. Xia Qingge had noticed this change and had planted the idea in her mind. When the time came, Li Yunshu wouldn’t be too shocked to accept it.

Leaving Xia Qingge’s office, Li Yunshu’s heart was still racing. She hadn’t fully calmed down when she suddenly saw Xu Hao entering the company, heading toward the CEO’s office. She had questions for him, so she quickly followed.

When they arrived at the office, Bai Ling, his personal bodyguard, opened the door for him.

Xu Hao glanced at Bai Ling. She handled everything for him—security, errands, even menial tasks. It was about time to hire a proper secretary. A female one, preferably a protagonist.

“Uncle Xu—”

Xu Hao had just stepped inside when he heard Li Yunshu’s urgent voice behind him. As she called out to him, she suddenly noticed another woman standing near the entrance. Her eyes widened in alarm, and she quickly covered her mouth, cautiously glancing at the woman in the combat outfit.

Noticing her nervousness, Xu Hao reassured her, “She’s my bodyguard. Don’t worry. If you have something to say, come inside.”

Li Yunshu was stunned. This beautiful woman was his bodyguard? Was she a former special forces soldier?

Suppressing her curiosity, she followed Xu Hao into the office.

With a soft click, the door closed behind them.

Xu Hao settled into his chair, stretching lazily. “What’s the matter, Yunshu?”

Seeing him so relaxed, Li Yunshu recalled what Xia Qingge had told her.

“Uncle Xu is always so kind to me. When he’s exhausted from work, I sometimes give him a massage as a thank-you.”

Xu Hao had helped her so many times, yet she had never repaid him in any tangible way.

Bringing him tea or water? Too ordinary. A massage? That seemed reasonable.

Just saying she was grateful wasn’t enough.

“If Xia Qingge can do it, so can I.”

Summoning her courage, Li Yunshu looked at Xu Hao. “Uncle Xu, you look a bit tired. Let me give you a massage.”

Xu Hao was momentarily surprised. “You know how to give massages?”

Li Yunshu nodded. “Mm-hmm…”

She wasn’t a professional, but she had experience. Her mother often came home sore from work, and Li Yunshu would massage her shoulders to help her relax. Her mother had even praised her skills.

Stepping behind Xu Hao’s chair, she gently placed her hands on his shoulders and started to massage him.

Xu Hao let out a satisfied sigh.

Why was this little protagonist suddenly offering to give him a massage?

Then, a certain face popped into his mind—Xia Qingge.

Back then, she had promised to help him win over Li Yunshu.

Had she taken action yet?

As Li Yunshu massaged his shoulders, she casually asked questions. Each time Xu Hao praised her skills, her heart fluttered, and she put in even more effort. Yet, an inexplicable feeling stirred within her.

Images of Xu Hao’s charming and mature demeanor surfaced in her mind.

“Xia Qingge said Xu Hao likes young girls…”

Shaking her head, she quickly dismissed the thought and scolded herself. Li Yunshu, what are you even thinking?

This was Uncle Xu, after all.

It was all Xia Qingge’s fault for constantly whispering such things in her ear.

[Ding… Li Yunshu feels flustered. Emotional value +345...]

Xu Hao sat in a Mercedes, entering an upscale residential area.

The driver was a lively young girl in a JK uniform—his obedient daughter, Xu Fangfei.

She pulled up in front of a standalone villa and quickly hopped out to open the door for him.

“Dad, we’re home.”

This was Xu Fangfei’s house.

Her parents were away on a business trip, so she had specially invited Xu Hao over.

This cunning villainess played her cards well. She was a quick learner and could read his intentions. Most importantly, she understood boundaries.

Xu Hao valued these traits, which was why he had given her a Xisui Pill—instantly elevating her beauty to rival Li Yunshu’s.

Though this villa was nowhere near as grand as the Xu family estate, it was still worth a solid ten to twenty million. It was clear that Xu Fangfei came from a well-off family.

She led him on a brief tour of the house.

The living room was spacious, the kitchen counters were low, the bathroom was spotless, and fresh flowers bloomed on the balcony.

Finally, she took him to see her bedroom.

Unlike the typical pink, girly aesthetic, her room had a darker, minimalistic style. Black curtains exuded an air of mystery.

Girls with this kind of gothic vibe always needed a little “discipline.”

“Dad, let’s play a game,” Xu Fangfei said, winking playfully.

“What kind of game?” Xu Hao asked curiously.

He soon found out.

But before they started, he looked at her seriously. “I need your help with something.”

His main reason for coming here was to enlist her assistance. It was time to put the plan to win over Li Yunshu into motion.

Xu Fangfei was momentarily stunned.

After a brief pause, she realized—this had to be about her lifelong rival, Li Yunshu.

Oddly enough, she didn’t hate Li Yunshu anymore.

If it weren’t for her, she never would have found her true love.

The idea of becoming sisters with her former enemy was slightly unpleasant. But the thought of having Li Yunshu call her “big sister” made that displeasure vanish instantly.

She actually looked forward to it.

And she was more than happy to help Xu Hao.

“I don’t mind helping, but didn’t you tell me not to target Li Yunshu anymore, Dad?” she asked with a smirk. “If I go against your orders and make trouble for her, won’t that backfire?”

Xu Fangfei had no grand ambitions. Because of her family background, all she wanted was a powerful figure to rely on.

And just in time, Xu Hao appeared.

Similarly, Xu Hao wanted to bring her under his control.

Each had their own motives—a perfect partnership in crime.

But over time, Xu Fangfei’s intentions slowly shifted.

At first, she simply wanted a strong man to depend on.

Now, she was gradually being conquered by him.

Wasn’t it obvious? She was even considering his plans now, making sure everything was perfect.

“That’s exactly why I need you—to come up with a way,” Xu Hao said.

Xu Fangfei frowned, deep in thought.

She couldn’t openly provoke Li Yunshu.

Then how could Xu Hao “save the damsel in distress”?

How could she create a breakthrough moment for their relationship?

As her mind drifted, an idea suddenly struck her.

Excitedly, she said, “Dad, I’ve got it! Here’s what we’ll do…”

She eagerly laid out her plan.

She would host a class reunion.

At the gathering, she would flaunt her status—not by targeting Li Yunshu directly, but by ensuring that others crushed her confidence.

She wouldn’t lay a finger on her rival.

But she could let others do the dirty work.

She’d recruit two close allies who despised Li Yunshu, having them subtly insult her and pick her apart.

Once Li Yunshu was completely humiliated…

That’s when Xu Hao would step in.

Before an audience, he’d shield her, shocking everyone.

Under the weight of public attention, Li Yunshu would regain her shattered confidence.

By then, she’d be emotionally vulnerable, overflowing with gratitude toward Xu Hao.

All he’d need was a little charm, and she would be his.

“You really are a little mastermind,” Xu Hao chuckled, impressed.

Pleased with her plan, he decided to reward her generously…

A sleek Porsche cruised down the boulevard.

In the backseat, Yao Xinrui sat in silence.

Her gaze drifted past the city lights outside, her eyes distant and unfocused.

A heavy melancholy surrounded her.

At the wheel, Li Xiao glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time.

Seeing his sister-in-law’s sorrowful expression, his heart twisted painfully.

Her bodyguard had recently been caught up in a gang dispute and was severely injured—still in the hospital.

With no one else to protect her, Chu Xiong had entrusted her safety to his trusted subordinate—Li Xiao.

After ten years of observation, Chu Xiong had grown slightly more at ease with his wife, no longer keeping constant tabs on her.

Li Xiao now spent his days as a lackey, following Chu Xiong’s useless son, Chu Xiaotian.

And every morning and night, he was responsible for driving his stunning sister-in-law to and from work.

Under normal circumstances, escorting such a beautiful woman would be a dream come true.

But Li Xiao felt no joy.

Because at any moment, Xu Hao could call in his “favor” with Yao Xinrui.

And when that time came, Li Xiao would have to cover for them.

Watching his gorgeous sister-in-law fall into the arms of that scumbag Xu Hao…

It was unbearable.

Just like today—he had safely escorted her home.

But then…

A message from Xu Hao lit up his phone.

“Take her to the hotel.”

Li Xiao’s hands clenched into fists.

Fury surged through him.

“If you want to meet her, why not just ask her directly? Why make me deliver her to you?”

The thought of sending the woman he admired straight into the arms of his enemy suffocated him.

Killing a man was one thing—this was psychological torture.

Rage boiled inside Li Xiao. He clenched his fists, fighting the urge to kill.

But he had to stay calm. His sister was still working for Xu Hao’s company—one wrong move, and she could be in danger.

Remembering the words he had said to Yao Xinrui earlier, he felt like dying.

“Sister-in-law, Xu Hao messaged me. He wants me to take you to a hotel.”

Yao Xinrui’s expression twisted—anger, shame, and fear all tangled together.

Yet, she merely nodded.

Swallowing her bitterness, she gathered her things and prepared to leave.

Li Xiao stopped her again, lowering his head so she wouldn’t see his distorted expression.

“Xu Hao said you should dress up before going. He said it’d be… more fun that way.”

God knows how he managed to say those words.

Not only was he delivering her to his enemy, but he also had to tell her to look beautiful before doing so.

Was this some kind of sick joke?

And Li Xiao was right—Xu Hao was playing with him.

The rising emotional turmoil only amused Xu Hao further.

On the way to the hotel, Li Xiao seethed.

His fury wasn’t just directed at Xu Hao but also at his own brother, Chu Xiong.

For the first time, he resented how much trust Chu Xiong had in him.

If his brother hadn’t trusted him so much, he wouldn’t have been assigned to protect Yao Xinrui.

And he wouldn’t have to endure this torment.

***

A luxury couple’s hotel loomed ahead.

The neon sign, glowing with an intimate ambiance, made Li Xiao’s stomach churn.

Just as he and Yao Xinrui arrived, Xu Hao pulled up in his own car.

Their eyes met.

“Sister-in-law, I’m really sorry for calling you over so late. I hope I didn’t disturb you?”

Xu Hao’s words were polite, but his tone and expression carried zero sincerity.

“N-no… it’s fine.”

Yao Xinrui forced a smile.

She had no choice but to comply, praying that Xu Hao would at least be gentle with her later.

Standing to the side, Li Xiao watched his once-proud sister-in-law flatter another man, and his heart shattered.

She used to be so strong-willed.

She had never fawned over anyone—not even Chu Xiong.

To others, she had always been cold and distant.

Yet here she was, putting on a forced smile for Xu Hao.

If Xu Hao knew what Li Xiao was thinking, he would’ve chuckled.

“She’s only like this because no one taught her better.”

But look—wasn’t the lesson sinking in nicely?

With a smack, Xu Hao clapped Li Xiao’s shoulder.

“Good job, Xiao. Here’s a little tip for you.”

Xu Hao pulled out a crisp 100-yuan bill.

“Take this and go get yourself some Longjiang pork rice. Experience the romance of a real man.”

“Or maybe a bowl of Liuzhou snail noodles. Build some resilience.”

He spoke so smoothly—was this guy preparing for a speech competition?

Li Xiao stared at the money in his hand, his lips twitching.

The sheer humiliation burned deeper than if he had received nothing at all.

Without the money, at least he could say he was forced into this.

But taking it?

It made him feel like he had just sold Yao Xinrui off.

[Ding… Yao Xinrui’s resentment surged, Emotion Value +890…]

[Ding… Li Xiao’s humiliation soared, Emotion Value +987…]

Xu Hao waved him off.

“Alright, that’s it. Come pick her up tomorrow… actually, no, make it in the afternoon.

“Oh, and if your brother asks anything, cover for us. See you later.”

With that, Xu Hao patted Li Xiao’s shoulder one last time before turning to Yao Xinrui.

Stepping closer, he extended an arm.

Yao Xinrui froze.

What was he doing?

Then, from the corner of her eye, she saw a couple passing by.

The woman was clinging happily to her man’s arm.

Understanding dawned, and her face flushed—not from embarrassment, but from sheer rage.

Was he seriously making her play along?

What were they, lovers?

But as furious as she was, when Xu Hao’s gaze swept over her, she still instinctively wrapped her arm around his.

Xu Hao smiled.

Arm in arm, they walked into the hotel, looking every bit like a couple in love.

Behind them, Li Xiao stood alone, gripping the 100-yuan bill as the wind whipped around him.

As their figures disappeared into the hotel, his grief erupted into a guttural scream—

“NO—!”
