Chapter 40: Teaching My Daughter to Paint! The Confused Stepmother of the Main Character…
………………………………
“Heaven, what’s the deal with Shiqing and Huayi? Why did they suddenly get so close to you?”
That evening, after returning to their bedroom, Su Wanqiu couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked Xu Hao.
“What else could it be? They’re my daughters, blood is thicker than water…”
Xu Hao gave a reason that wasn’t really a reason.
Su Wanqiu rolled her eyes.
Although she didn’t know why Xu Hao suddenly became so capable and effective, she was almost certain that the seven daughters weren’t his biological children…
Where is this “blood thicker than water” coming from?
Su Wanqiu thought for a moment.
The girls’ change happened all in one day. Xu Hao took them to an amusement park.
Could it be that easy?
Are young girls nowadays that easy to fool? Just a trip to the amusement park, and they go from strangers to calling him “Dad”?
But this should be a good thing.
Recently, Xu Hao had been performing well and was actively trying to make up for his daughters. Finally, the cold family had a bit of warmth…@@novelbin@@
“Rather than worrying about the daughters, you should focus on yourself. Did you pick out your outfit for tonight?”
Su Wanqiu couldn’t help but blush.
Ever since Xu Hao made her wear the bunny girl costume, he became quite fond of the allure of uniforms. He even made her go out and buy whatever she liked.
“Today… today doesn’t work, my relatives are coming over…”
Su Wanqiu bit her lip.
Xu Hao’s powerful abilities required nightly celebrations, but since she was like this, surely he wouldn’t be so heartless, right?
Of course not.
It’s just that women… well, every month there are a few days. He could understand that.
If he pushed now, it wouldn’t be about enjoying the moment, it would be torture.
But Xu Hao had a solution, so he said, “Do you know how to get past the roadblock on Snow Mountain?”
Su Wanqiu didn’t understand why he was asking this and looked at him in confusion.
“Take the shortcut, silly…”
[Ding… Su Wanqiu is deeply embarrassed, emotional value +888…]

The next day, Xu Hao began to teach Xu Shiqing how to paint.
Xu Shiqing took a sketchpad to the courtyard.
Xu Hao asked her to start by drawing whatever she wanted, and he would point out the issues afterward…
Xu Shiqing’s drawing skills were impressive. In no time, she had drawn the layout of the courtyard.
The pavilions, towers, rockeries, ponds, and even the corners were drawn with exceptional detail.
“Nice work…”
Xu Hao gave his initial comment, then pointed out the flaws.
“This rockery doesn’t need to be that detailed. You should draw it like this… like this… and like that…”
He pointed out the shortcomings and explained how to fix them.
As he spoke, he also demonstrated, making the process vivid and clear.
Xu Shiqing nodded repeatedly, listening intently.
But when it came time for her to try herself, something awkward happened…
What was she even supposed to be drawing?
Eyes: Oh, now I understand.
Brain: Got it.
Hands: No… you don’t understand.
Xu Shiqing picked up the brush and began to draw, but no matter how she did it, something felt off. She hadn’t grasped Xu Hao’s essence.
As she saw the increasing gap between her drawing and Xu Hao’s, she almost started crying…
Suddenly, she felt someone grip her hand.
“This is how you should draw…”
It was Xu Hao, standing behind her and holding her hand to guide the drawing.
Xu Shiqing’s body stiffened, her mind went blank, and her hand, holding the brush, was entirely controlled by Xu Hao.
After finishing, he spoke up, “Did you get it?”
Xu Shiqing lowered her head.
She had been so distracted just now that she didn’t even realize what she had done…
[Ding… Xu Shiqing’s heart rate increased, emotional value +765…]
[Ding… Xu Shiqing…]
Looking at the constantly refreshing emotional value, Xu Hao gave himself a thumbs up for his earlier actions.
If he could win over the two daughters, they didn’t even have to go to school—staying at home would provide plenty of emotional value…
Looking at his daughter, who was now shrinking like a quail, Xu Hao found it amusing and spoke softly.
“It’s fine, take your time, I’ll teach you again…”
Without scolding, he patiently offered to teach her again.
Xu Shiqing couldn’t help but curse herself in her heart.
Xu Shiqing, Xu Shiqing, your dad is just teaching you to paint, where are your thoughts going?
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself.
She focused and began to learn earnestly.
Since Dad was teaching her with so much patience, she couldn’t disappoint him.
The day passed quickly…
Under Xu Hao’s hands-on guidance, Xu Shiqing’s painting skills improved dramatically, reaching a level that could already be called masterful.
She could clearly feel the improvement in her artwork and was overjoyed.
She had previously doubted Xu Hao’s claim that after some training, she would be able to create a piece of work good enough to win first place in an international competition.
Now, she had no doubt at all.
With her skills improving like this…
It wouldn’t be long before she could create a piece of work similar to the modified sunset painting Xu Hao had once done for her.
Although reaching Dad’s level would still take a long, long time…
To show her gratitude to Xu Hao, she and her sister went to the market to buy ingredients.
They planned to cook a big meal.
Xu Hao went to his study.
After a thorough cleaning, the company was back to normal operation.
He didn’t need to go to the office anymore; he could remotely handle things from home…
After finishing his work, Xu Hao closed his computer and rubbed his forehead.
Hearing his two daughters in the kitchen preparing the meal, something stirred in his heart.
He remembered that he still had a pair of necklaces.
…Lotus blossoms in full bloom.
With a thought, the two necklaces appeared in his hands.
The necklaces were exquisite, and each tiny gemstone was a masterpiece in itself.
His gaze settled on the larger gem at the center…
No matter how he looked at it, Xu Hao felt like something was missing.
It wasn’t perfect.
An idea flashed through his mind—why not engrave his daughters’ names on them?
That would make them even more striking…
He could easily do that since he had god-level calligraphy skills. There was no need to worry about ruining the necklace’s beauty by engraving it.
In fact, adding the names would make them even more enchanting.
His eyes scanned the desk, and he found a silver needle…
