Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist’s Mother to Have Children

Chapter 49

Ding… Xia Qingge feels uneasy. Emotion Value +666…

Ding… Xia Qingge is afraid. Emotion Value +777…

Ding… Xia Qingge is conflicted. Emotion Value +888…

Ding…

“Qingge, I’m sorry. I never expected this to happen…”

Xu Hao feigned guilt, wearing an expression of deep remorse.@@novelbin@@

“It’s… it’s not your fault…”

Seeing Uncle Xu’s guilty face, Xia Qingge hurried to reassure him, lowering her head in embarrassment.

“I… I did this willingly.”

Indeed.

Although she was slightly tipsy earlier, her mind remained clear.

She could have pushed Xu Hao away, yet she didn’t.

In other words… deep down, she did not reject this.

Afraid that Xu Hao wouldn’t believe her and that he would blame himself, Xia Qingge hesitated before blurting out,

“Actually… I like you…”

This was a confession from the depths of her heart.

If not for what had happened, she would never have said it aloud.

Thinking about how Xu Hao had cared for her, surprised her on her birthday, and even appeared in her most desperate moments…

Unknowingly, this mature, steady, and elegant man had already made his way into her heart.

“Qingge? Are you serious? I like you too…”

Xu Hao looked at her with “excitement,” but then his expression darkened.

“But I can’t give you a proper title…”

Here it comes. The classic scumbag line.

“I like you, I want to be with you, but we can’t get married.”

Xu Hao sighed inwardly.

Even after reincarnating into a billionaire, he still ended up using the same tricks from his past life.

Xia Qingge knew Xu Hao’s status.

Not to mention that he was already married and the father of seven children, admired and respected by countless people.

But… their age gap alone would never be accepted by society.

“It’s okay. I don’t care about that. As long as I can be with you, that’s enough…”

Although she felt a pang of disappointment at not being able to stand beside him openly, she quickly composed herself and met Xu Hao’s gaze.

She had already come to terms with it.

There was no other choice.

If she couldn’t accept this, she could only leave Xu Hao.

But after finally being brought together by fate, she didn’t want to leave.

“Qingge, don’t worry. I will never let you down…”

Xu Hao’s voice trembled with excitement.

In truth, everything had gone exactly as he expected.

In novels, unless the heroine had a strong personality, she would always stay by the protagonist’s side once she fell for him.

That was the key to building a harem.

And thanks to this mindset, he had gained an advantage.

What followed next was an electrifying night of passion…

The Next Morning—

Xia Dahai groggily woke up.

Stepping out of his bedroom, he saw his daughter tidying up the house.

Last night, he had been so drunk that Xu Hao had to carry him back to his room with one hand.

“Where’s your Uncle Xu?”

Xia Dahai rubbed his forehead, trying to clear his mind.

He looked at his daughter and asked.

“You have the nerve to ask? You were completely wasted last night! He left early in the morning…”

She kept her head down as she wiped the table, avoiding his gaze.

After all… what happened last night was far from innocent.

If her father ever found out, he might drop dead from anger.

Xia Dahai didn’t notice his daughter’s unusual expression and chuckled bitterly.

That was some strong liquor…

Even someone as experienced as him had been knocked out.

He then frowned slightly.

“Qingge, you should have let your Uncle Xu stay over. He drank just as much as I did. He must have been drunk too.”

“I tried to make him stay, but Uncle Xu insisted on leaving. He didn’t want to trouble us…”

Xia Qingge said this, but inwardly, she scoffed.

Uncle Xu was drunk? If only you knew how capable he was.

Besides, not only did she let Xu Hao stay, but they had also “explored” every corner of the house.

She wasn’t exactly lying.

Xu Hao had indeed said he didn’t want to cause trouble.

If he had stayed and Xia Dahai saw him—especially noticing any differences in his daughter—things would have gotten messy.

Though in truth, he had only left after sunrise.

Before leaving, they even took a joyride to Mount Akina.

No, she had to hurry back to her room and clean up. She needed to wash the bedsheets.

With that thought in mind, Xia Qingge tiptoed towards her bedroom.

Watching his daughter’s retreating figure, Xia Dahai narrowed his eyes.

Something about her felt… different.

But he couldn’t quite put his finger on it…

Xu Group—

President’s Office.

Xu Hao sat at his desk, reviewing documents.

Secretary Li Kun stood before him, reporting the results of his investigation on Zheng Feifan.

Zheng Feifan had returned from overseas ten days ago and was renting an apartment on Shui Miao Street.

His landlord was a stunning woman named Xiao Wanling.

He was currently working as a security guard at Sunny Electronics.

Even with Xu Hao’s extensive intelligence network, this was all he could find.

There were no records of Zheng Feifan’s past occupation.

“If I want to become the ultimate villain, I need absolute control. There’s still a long road ahead…”

Xu Hao flipped through Sunny Electronics’ files.

Three years ago, the company was on the brink of bankruptcy.

Freshly graduated, Lin Chuqing took charge at a critical moment.

She fired who needed to be fired, demoted who needed demotion, and promoted capable employees, quickly establishing authority.

Through a series of reforms, she revived the nearly-defunct company.

Later, the business grew stronger, climbing to new heights.

Lin Chuqing’s name became synonymous with genius in the corporate world.

However, she was known for her ruthless leadership and cold demeanor, earning the title of “Ice Queen CEO.”

As Xu Hao read on, his eyes paused on a particular detail.

Lin Chuqing’s company had business dealings with the Liu family.

Tap, tap, tap…

Xu Hao drummed his fingers on the table, lost in thought.

His ultimate goal was to swallow the entire Liu family’s empire.

Given the ongoing turf war between the Liu family and the protagonist’s gang, it was only a matter of time.

How should he handle his relationship with this heroine?

Should he play the gentleman and keep things ambiguous, or strike first and take control?

He and the protagonist were destined to be mortal enemies.

Eventually, they would face off.

For now, the protagonist hadn’t discovered that Xu Hao was the mastermind behind everything.

It was best not to alert him yet…

After a brief moment of contemplation, he decided to take things step by step.

For now, he needed to collect more Emotion Value and strengthen himself first.

Afternoon—

Two trembling figures entered Xu Group.

It was none other than Liu father and son.

Caught red-handed in their misdeeds, Liu Fei was scared out of his mind.

He wasn’t afraid of Chen Mo.

He wasn’t afraid of Xia Qingge.

But he was terrified that Xu Hao would retaliate against the Liu family…

After Liu Fei returned home, the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. He suffered through a sleepless night before finally confessing everything to his father.

The moment he finished, his father gave him a beating.

Liu’s father knew exactly what kind of person his son was.

Normally, he indulged Liu Fei, turning a blind eye to his antics. But now, his son had crossed the line—messing with someone he should never have.

Did he not understand the vast difference in power between the Liu family and the Xu family?

With just one word from Xu Hao, the entire Liu family could be wiped out without a trace.

Without hesitation, he dragged his disgrace of a son over to beg for forgiveness.

Xu Hao received them in the guest hall.

“President Xu, I’m terribly sorry. My son was reckless and ignorant…”

Xu Hao held his teacup but didn’t even bother pouring tea for them.

He had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with a pair of soon-to-be ruined fools.

Liu’s father, realizing Xu Hao wasn’t responding, felt deeply embarrassed but forced himself to keep smiling.

After his apology, he kicked his useless son.

“What are you standing there for? Apologize to your Uncle Xu immediately!”

“If you can’t earn his forgiveness, I’ll beat you to death right here and now!”

Liu Fei trembled and dropped to his knees with a loud thud.

His voice choked with sobs as he pleaded, “Uncle Xu, I was wrong! Please forgive me just this once. I’ll never do anything like this again…”

Xu Hao finally set his teacup down and spoke indifferently.

“I’m not the one you should be apologizing to.”

He signaled for someone to fetch Xia Qingge.

Originally, Xu Hao had given her a day off.

After all, last night had been too intense—he was worried she might not even be able to walk properly, let alone work.

But Xia Qingge refused.

She insisted she wasn’t that fragile.

So, she had only rested for half a day before returning to the company.

Soon, her figure appeared in the guest hall.

Her condition was still a bit rough—even half a day’s rest hadn’t been enough to fully recover…

Liu’s father was momentarily stunned by Xia Qingge’s beauty.

No wonder his useless son had been obsessed with her for seven years.

Even after being warned by Xu Hao, he had still dared to act against her.

Seeing his son dazed again, Liu’s father lost his temper and kicked him hard.

“What are you staring at?! Apologize!”

Liu Fei snapped out of it, quickly shifting his kneeling posture to face Xia Qingge.

“Qingge, I’m sorry! I was blinded by greed yesterday—I shouldn’t have used those despicable means against you.”

“Please forgive me this once. I swear I won’t ever disturb your life again…”

Then, under his father’s glare, he even bowed his head and knocked it against the floor.

Xia Qingge had always been an obedient and sheltered girl—when had she ever encountered such a scene?

She was so startled that she didn’t know how to react.

Her eyes instinctively turned to Xu Hao for help.

Xu Hao gave her a reassuring smile.

“It’s up to you whether to forgive him. If you do, we’ll drop the matter. If not, I’ll make sure you get justice.”

“He had the audacity to act recklessly even after I warned him… Quite bold.”

Liu’s father trembled, and Liu Fei shook so hard he nearly collapsed.

They could hear the anger in Xu Hao’s voice.

Although he had a good reputation in the public eye, no fool would believe that a man who built a billion-dollar empire from scratch was someone to be trifled with.

The Liu family could never afford to bear his wrath.

Xia Qingge, moved by Xu Hao’s concern, felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

If they weren’t in public, she would have thrown herself into his arms, begging for comfort…

She took a deep breath, suppressing her emotions, and spoke coldly.

“This time, I’ll let it go. But from now on, don’t ever appear in front of me again.”

The Liu father and son visibly relaxed, their faces lighting up with joy.

Liu Fei even stopped trembling, exclaiming excitedly, “Qingge, don’t worry! I swear I won’t!”

“President Xu, what do you think…?” Liu’s father carefully turned to Xu Hao.

Xu Hao let out a cold snort.

“You should be grateful to Qingge. If she hadn’t let you off, I would’ve dealt with your family this afternoon.”

“Thank you, Miss Xia… And thank you, President Xu, for your mercy!”

Liu’s father wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

“Get lost.”

Xu Hao waved them off impatiently.

But in his heart, he had already made plans.

Letting them go? Impossible.

The only reason he hadn’t crushed the Liu family yet was that he still needed them as pawns to fight against the protagonist.

Once they had served their purpose, he would erase them from existence.

It wouldn’t be long now.

He would let the Liu family serve its final purpose before wiping them out in one swift move.

Faced with Xu Hao’s blunt words, the Liu father and son didn’t dare show a hint of resentment. They hurriedly bowed and took their leave.

As Liu Fei passed by Xia Qingge, something seemed to catch his attention. He froze on the spot.

He had been with countless women, indulging in pleasure, and had experienced a woman’s first time more than once.

But at this moment, Xia Qingge gave him the same feeling as those women who had just lost their innocence.

Then, recalling how she had been walking with a slight limp earlier…

Boom!

A thunderous realization exploded in his mind.

“H-How is this possible?”

Liu Fei refused to believe the truth.

Xia Qingge was the girl he genuinely loved, the one he wanted to marry.

That was why he hadn’t treated her like the other women—just another fleeting indulgence.

He had pursued her for seven years.

Now, the thought of her having slept with another man felt like a green hat had been forcefully placed on his head.

Rage burned through his skull.

“Who was it?”

“Who was that man?”

Liu Fei racked his brain until one name surfaced.

—Chen Mo.

It was that bastard who ruined everything yesterday.

Not only had he sabotaged Liu Fei’s plan to play the hero and save the beauty, but he had also exposed his actions.

Because of him, Liu Fei had offended Xu Hao and was scolded by his father.

Everything was because of him.

Liu Fei’s face twisted with hatred. He despised Chen Mo to the core.

But he never even considered the possibility of Xia Qingge being with Xu Hao.

The age gap alone made it seem impossible. Besides, Xu Hao’s reputation and character made the thought absurd.

Liu’s father saw his son staring at Xia Qingge and mistook it for lingering obsession.

Furious, he yanked Liu Fei away forcefully.

He had to discipline this useless son properly.

If he dared to offend Xu Hao again over a woman, their only option would be to flee for their lives.

Secretary Li Kun noticed the situation and quickly followed them out, closing the door behind him.

Now, only two people remained in the guest hall.

Xia Qingge could no longer suppress her emotions—she threw herself into Xu Hao’s arms.

Xu Hao’s expression turned strange.

He had noticed Liu Fei’s reaction earlier, and only now did he recall Liu Fei’s role—an ultimate simp villain who had pathetically chased after a woman for seven years.

And in the end, that very woman had fallen right into Xu Hao’s hands.

To top it off, Liu Fei had been forced to kneel before him and apologize the very next day.

What kind of insane turn of events was this?

With a beauty in his embrace, Xu Hao’s thoughts drifted to the protagonist’s stunning stepmother…

“Do you have time later?” he asked.

Xia Qingge stiffened and looked at him pitifully.

“I still have work today…”

Xu Hao chuckled and whispered a few words in her ear.

Instantly, Xia Qingge froze.

What the hell…?

She shot him a glare, both embarrassed and furious.

This was outrageous!

Yet, in that glance, there was now a hint of mature allure…

And then…
