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

Chapter 72

Xu Hao stepped out of the study.

The two best friends immediately felt relieved, becoming less restrained.

“Hongzhuang, tell me—how did Uncle Xu get the idea to write songs for you?”

Xiao Wanling was curious.

From the songs Xu Hao wrote, his musical talent was undeniably high.

But he had never written songs before, so what suddenly inspired him to do so?

As soon as the topic came up, Xu Hongzhuang’s face lit up with happiness.

“Dad noticed I was feeling down lately and said he wouldn’t stand by and watch my dream of becoming a star shatter. So, he stayed up all night and wrote these three songs to break Zhao Media’s blockade…”

Even now, thinking about it moved her deeply.

Xiao Wanling practically drooled with envy.

“Your dad is amazing! How about this—you let me have Uncle Xu instead? You don’t even seem to treasure him that much.”

“In your dreams! Shameless! When did I ever say I don’t treasure my dad?”

Xu Hongzhuang rolled her eyes at her best friend.

“Huh…”

Xiao Wanling suddenly gasped in surprise and looked at her with curiosity.

“Haven’t you always refused to call Uncle Xu ‘Dad’? Why does it sound so natural now?”

“It’s always been natural.”

“You sure change fast, Xu Hongzhuang.”

Xiao Wanling pouted in mock anger, then rolled her eyes and smirked.

“Hongzhuang, since we’re best friends, why don’t you share some of the love your dad gives you with me?”

“Get lost! Love isn’t some object you can split up!”

Xu Hongzhuang pushed her best friend aside and continued practicing her singing.

“Why not?”

“If I became your stepmother, wouldn’t I be taking away some of Uncle Xu’s love for you?”

Xiao Wanling muttered under her breath.

She recalled Xu Hao’s patient, hands-on teaching earlier—and especially that last moment when he trembled slightly.

Her cheeks flushed red, and she couldn’t help but wonder—

Did Uncle Xu notice?

That Night

Xu Shiqing and Xu Huayi, the twin sisters, returned home.

Hearing their third sister Xu Hongzhuang’s beautiful singing from upstairs, they exchanged glances.

It sounded amazing.

After going upstairs to ask about it, they learned that all three songs were written by Xu Hao.

They were both envious and even more in awe of him.

“Big sis, you’ve almost finished learning how to massage. Isn’t it time to fulfill your punishment?”

Xu Huayi nudged her sister’s elbow teasingly.

Xu Shiqing glared at her younger sister, both embarrassed and annoyed.

It’s just a massage for Dad—

Did she really have to remind her every day?

Previously, the twins had made a bet on who would improve faster. The loser had to give Xu Hao a massage.

Xu Shiqing had lost.

The problem was—she had no idea how to massage, so she had been learning online for the past few days.

The most frustrating part?

Xu Huayi had been supervising her the whole time and urging her to fulfill her punishment every day.

She had learned enough by now.

But the thought of massaging her dad still made her feel shy.

Even so, she had to face it.

A bet was a bet.

She was just about to go find Xu Hao when she suddenly paused, remembering the last time she washed his feet.

Her sister had brought their third sister and stepmother along just to watch and laugh at her.

She turned to Xu Huayi and warned her fiercely,

“I’m going to give Dad a massage. This time, don’t cause any trouble—or don’t blame me for not holding back.”

She raised her hand slightly and glanced behind Xu Huayi.

Xu Huayi quickly covered the chubbier parts of her body and forced a smile.

“Alright, alright! You make it sound like I’m a mischievous little brat. Am I really that kind of person?”

“Just go in peace…”

Xu Shiqing clenched her fists.

Could this little sister of hers be any worse at phrasing things?

What did she mean by “go in peace”?

You go in peace! Your whole family goes in peace!

Wait—this was her sister.

Cursing her would be like cursing herself.

Xu Shiqing took a deep breath, calmed herself down, gave one last warning, and left the study.

Maybe her sister was afraid of being punished again, or maybe she just wasn’t interested in the massage.

Either way, Xu Huayi didn’t follow.

Instead, she dragged their third sister, Xu Hongzhuang, to teach her how to sing.

Xu Shiqing found Xu Hao in the courtyard by the pond.

At that moment, he was watching the fish play in the water.

Hearing footsteps, he turned around.

“Shiqing, you’re back from school. How was your day? Anything interesting happen?”

“Not really. It was kind of boring.”

She answered casually.

Both she and her twin sister were more mature than their classmates and found them childish.

Since their grades were excellent, they didn’t have the stress of exams either.

School felt like nothing more than a routine.

If not for their passion for painting and the upcoming International Art Competition in three months, they probably wouldn’t even bother going.

“Dad, come with me for a moment. I need you to cooperate with something.”

Xu Shiqing took the initiative to pull Xu Hao over to a lounge chair.

“Dad, you’ve been working hard teaching us lately. I’ve learned a massage technique and want to give you a massage.”

A massage?

Nice.

Xu Hao immediately realized this was part of the twins’ bet.

But…

It was just a massage?

A little disappointing.

Looks like they were still holding back.

Still, he lay down as instructed.

Xu Shiqing started applying the massage techniques she had learned.

Her cool, soft hands pressed against his body with just the right amount of pressure.

It felt good.

He had thought his daughter would just half-heartedly rub his shoulders and call it a day.

He was wrong.

This turned out to be a full-body massage.

Ding… Xu Shiqing is unbearably shy, emotion value +849…

Ding… Xu Shiqing’s heart rate accelerates, emotion value +987…

The massage ended.

Xu Shiqing suddenly thought of something and hurriedly ran away, leaving Xu Hao without a chance to even say thank you.

Nightfall—

Su Wanqiu, dressed in a professional teacher’s outfit, paired with sheer black stockings and high heels, appeared even more stunning than usual.

“I’m feeling really heated…”

Ding… Su Wanqiu is overjoyed, emotion value +888…

The Next Day—

Xu Hao followed the address Wang Xueying had given him and arrived at a residential complex.

Knowing that Xu Hao was coming, Wang Xueying had been waiting at the entrance early. While she was initially happy about seeing him, a slight frown crept onto her face.

Because beside her, an annoying pest was buzzing around.

“Xueying, why haven’t you been replying to my messages these past few days? If I hadn’t come today, I wouldn’t have even known that Auntie was hospitalized.”

A refined young man with gold-rimmed glasses spoke up.

His name was Chen Zhou, a teacher at Modu University and one of Wang Xueying’s many suitors. Unlike the others, he was particularly thick-skinned. While most gave up after being rejected, Chen Zhou had the audacity to chase after her all the way to her home.

He frequently brought gifts to win over Wang Xueying’s mother.

Today was no different. Somehow, he had found out about the hospitalization and arrived early in the morning with a bunch of supplements.

Normally, Wang Xueying never accepted gifts from her suitors. But Chen Zhou was smart—he didn’t give them to her. He gave them to her mother instead, making it impossible for her to refuse.

Not wanting to deal with him at home, she had used Xu Hao’s arrival as an excuse to step outside. But unfortunately, this guy shamelessly followed her.

Annoyance bubbled inside Wang Xueying.

She instinctively didn’t want Xu Hao to misunderstand and think she had any connection to this guy.

Which was strange.

After all, Xu Hao already had a family and seven daughters. Nothing could ever happen between them.

Was it because of what happened in the woods last time?

Recalling that embrace full of security and the overwhelming masculine presence, she couldn’t help but get lost in the memory.

“Xueying… Xueying…”

A hand waved in front of her, snapping her out of her daze.

She frowned. “What did you just say?”

“I was asking—who exactly is this guest you’re waiting for?”

“He helped a lot while Auntie was in the hospital, so I definitely need to thank him properly later.”

His words carried an implicit sense of belonging, as if he already considered himself part of the Wang family.

Wang Xueying was speechless.

She had never met anyone this shameless.

Thinking about Xu Hao’s status, a playful look flashed in her eyes. Her anger disappeared in an instant.

“You’re sure you want to thank him in person?”

Chen Zhou noticed the odd expression on her face but didn’t think much of it. He nodded.

“Of course…”

In his mind, Wang Xueying’s mother’s quick discharge meant that it hadn’t been a serious illness. Even if this guest had helped, it was probably just by calling an ambulance or handling the admission paperwork.

His own position in the family should remain secure.

In fact, he believed his approach was flawless.

If pursuing Wang Xueying directly didn’t work, he could go through her mother.

Look at him now—standing so close to Wang Xueying, having a casual conversation with her.

Other suitors couldn’t even get a chance to speak with her.

This guest, however, posed a threat.

He had to make a good impression and maintain his standing in Wang Xueying’s mother’s eyes.

Wang Xueying withdrew her gaze but smirked inwardly.

She was curious to see how this guy would react once he met Xu Hao.

Time passed…

From a distance, Wang Xueying spotted a familiar car approaching.

She had ridden in Xu Hao’s car a few times and knew it well.

The vehicle came to a stop.

Wang Xueying immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Chen Zhou watched her reaction and felt uneasy.

“That guy must hold a special place in Xueying’s heart,” he thought, following her cautiously.

But when he saw the man stepping out of the car, his feet froze.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

He blinked rapidly, making sure he wasn’t seeing things.

No mistake.

That was Xu Hao, one of the university’s board members.

The CEO of Xu Group.

The “honored guest” Wang Xueying’s family was waiting for… was Xu Hao?

Chen Zhou felt his scalp go numb.

Moments ago, he had been planning to assert his importance in front of this man, to subtly warn him not to pursue Wang Xueying.

But now?

What the hell was he even thinking?

In front of Xu Hao, he was nothing.

At that moment, Wang Xueying and Xu Hao walked over.

Her playful voice rang out.

“Mr. Chen, weren’t you going to give your thanks? Chairman Xu is here.”

Chen Zhou stiffened, utterly embarrassed.

Thank him?

Thank him for what?

He wasn’t even part of the Wang family. What excuse did he have to offer gratitude?

If he tried to act high and mighty like he originally planned, Xu Hao might get annoyed and fire him on the spot.

Forcing a smile, he greeted stiffly, “Good day, Chairman Xu.”

Xu Hao glanced at Wang Xueying.

“And this is…?”

To him, a random side character trying to court the female lead was nothing worth his attention.

Just another pathetic simp who wouldn’t even get a crumb.

“He’s Chen Zhou, a finance professor at our university,” Wang Xueying introduced with amusement. “He heard that you helped my mom contact one of the top cardiologists at First Hospital and wanted to personally thank you.”

Hearing this, Chen Zhou’s face burned with embarrassment.

He had assumed that Xu Hao’s “help” had just been calling an ambulance and handling admission.

But Xu Hao had actually arranged for an expert cardiologist?

That was a whole different level.

Chen Zhou suddenly felt incredibly out of place.

Afraid that Wang Xueying might say something else that would leave a bad impression on Xu Hao, Chen Zhou quickly excused himself.

“Oh, I just remembered—I have something to take care of at home. Chairman Xu, Teacher Wang, you two go ahead and chat.”

Just as he turned to leave, Xu Hongzhuang’s voice rang out from behind him.

“Mr. Chen, aren’t you staying for dinner? After all, you did bring gifts.”

Already anxious that Xu Hao might be upset with him, Chen Zhou wouldn’t dare to stay any longer. Without hesitation, he fled.

Watching his embarrassed retreat, Wang Xueying finally broke into a bright smile.

That smile was breathtaking, almost glowing with joy.

Too bad Chen Zhou wasn’t around to see it.

Noticing Xu Hao staring at her, Wang Xueying blushed slightly and explained, “That guy is so annoying…”

She proceeded to recount all of Chen Zhou’s shameless antics.

“Do you want me to make sure he doesn’t bother you again?” Xu Hao offered.

“No need.” Wang Xueying shook her head. “After what just happened, I doubt he’ll dare show up again.”

“If anything happens, let me know.”

Her heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head and softly replied, “Okay.”

They arrived at Wang Xueying’s home.

The surgery had been a success, and her mother was recovering well. Surprisingly, she was already in the kitchen, preparing food.

Wang’s mother wasn’t very old. She had given birth to Wang Xueying early, and even now, she still carried a certain mature charm.

Hearing the commotion at the door, she peeked out.

Realizing that her family’s benefactor had arrived, she called out to her daughter.

“Take care of Chairman Xu for a bit. The food will be ready soon…”

In no time, the table was filled with dish after dish of delicious food.

At the Dinner Table—

Wang’s mother sincerely expressed her gratitude to Xu Hao.

“Chairman Xu, I really don’t know how to thank you. It was just a small illness, yet you went through the trouble of calling in a favor with the hospital director…”

“Xueying is my daughter’s teacher, and we’re also friends. This was just a small favor.” Xu Hao smiled, his tone calm and effortless.

Wang’s mother couldn’t help but marvel.

This man was truly remarkable.

She had heard that he was the father of seven daughters, yet he looked no older than thirty…

Noticing the way her daughter was gazing at Xu Hao, she let out a quiet sigh.

Xu Hao had a family—his children were already so grown.

Whatever feelings her daughter had for him would have to end before they even began.

Even if he weren’t married, their age gap alone was an obstacle.

Her daughter had no chance… but she, on the other hand…

That sudden thought startled Wang’s mother.

Xu Hao was the mature, handsome type that women adored.

If she were twenty years younger, she wouldn’t hesitate to marry him.

Since she had just been discharged, Wang’s mother couldn’t eat much, and the doctor had advised her to get plenty of rest.

After dinner and some small talk, fatigue crept in, and she retired to her room, reminding her daughter to take good care of Xu Hao.

Wang Xueying poured Xu Hao a cup of tea and thanked him.

“Chairman Xu, about that day… Thank you—”

Before she could finish, she suddenly felt a firm grip around her waist.

She was pulled into that familiar embrace once more.

“If you really want to thank me, words aren’t enough…”

Before she could react, his handsome face slowly drew closer.

That familiar feeling surged back…
