Chapter 84
Chapter 84
Xu Fangfei was dumbfounded.
Seeing the amused smirk on Xu Hao’s lips, she finally realized what he meant, and a storm raged in her heart.
Everyone had been wrong.
Xu Hao had only ever had two wives, deeply loved them, and was never involved in any scandals.
But now… Xu Hao was asking her to help him sleep with a woman.
How could this possibly be his first time falling for someone?
After the initial shock, Xu Fangfei didn’t feel disgusted or repulsed—she felt a secret thrill instead.
Xu Hao wasn’t the devoted, loyal man everyone thought he was. Didn’t that mean… she had a chance too?
The moment she saw Xu Hao at the interview hall that morning, she had been completely captivated.
At 50 years old, he looked nothing like his age—he could easily pass for 30.
He exuded a unique, mature charm.
Handsome features, a perfect physique—he was the pinnacle of masculinity.
With a net worth in the billions and the status of a CEO in a Fortune 500 company…
Good-looking, well-built, charismatic, rich, and powerful—he was her perfect dream man.
She had always wanted to sell herself at a high price.
Among all the rich second-generation heirs and elite men, who could compare to Xu Hao?
If not for his status and family background, she would have thrown herself at him long ago.
Now that she realized he was just an ordinary man with desires, her heart pounded with excitement.
Wait.
Xu Hao hadn’t approached her because he was interested in her.
He wanted her help to conquer his nemesis, Li Yunshu.
It was as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over her head.
Jealousy toward Li Yunshu burned wildly inside her.
She wanted to ask Xu Hao—what exactly did Li Yunshu have that she didn’t?
But when she looked up and saw the amused glint in his eyes, she swallowed her words.
Calming her turbulent emotions, she racked her brain for a plan.
Since Xu Hao had set his sights on Li Yunshu, and since Li Yunshu was her mortal enemy, she had no reservations.
Malicious ideas flooded her mind.
So, Li Yunshu thought she was so pure and untouchable?
Let’s see how pure she could stay when she was under Xu Hao.
Let’s see how long she could keep up that cold and aloof act…
A sinister scheme formed in her mind.
She lifted her head and hesitantly suggested, “I know Li Yunshu very well. She’s a traditional woman. If President Xu sleeps with her—several times—he will definitely win her over.”
Xu Hao continued eating, raising an eyebrow. “Go on.”
Encouraged, Xu Fangfei continued, “I can find an opportunity to drug her and send her to your bed.”
Seeing no reaction from Xu Hao, she quickly added, “Or we could kidnap her, lock her in a dark room, and train her for a few days…”
“If not, I could take some private photos of her and give them to you, President Xu. You could use them to threaten her.”
She proposed numerous ideas—all revolving around drugging, coercion, and force.
Her words were laced with deep-seated hatred toward Li Yunshu.
Her plan was ruthless and cruel.
Was this it?
Xu Hao had thought she truly understood Li Yunshu and would come up with a better idea.
Did she really think he wasn’t already aware of these methods?
Xu Fangfei observed his expression.
Noticing his displeased look, she quickly realized her suggestions weren’t to his liking.
She quickly rethought her approach, then her eyes lit up with a new idea.
“President Xu, how about this? Li Yunshu and I are enemies, and I always cause her trouble.”
“You could do what you did today—step in and save her.”
“Li Yunshu is an emotional person. If we stage multiple ‘hero rescues beauty’ moments, she’ll definitely be deeply moved by you…”
Xu Hao nodded.
Since he couldn’t get a better plan from Xu Fangfei, this would have to do for now.
Xu Fangfei felt relieved.
But the jealousy in her heart didn’t diminish in the slightest.
To her, this wasn’t harming Li Yunshu—it was giving her a golden opportunity.
Becoming Xu Hao’s woman was a blessing.
Even though he wanted Li Yunshu, he refused to hurt her.
He was even willing to use such a gentle approach…
Her enemy was about to become Xu Hao’s woman and reach the pinnacle of life.
Meanwhile, she was just playing the role of a villain in their story.
The gap between them was too vast—it suffocated her.
Jealousy consumed her entirely.
As she watched Xu Hao leisurely enjoy his meal, she could no longer hold back.
“President Xu… can I ask you a question?”
Xu Hao raised an eyebrow.
“What is it?”
“Why did you choose Li Yunshu? I’m no worse than her.”
Her jealousy drowned out any sense of shame.
Xu Hao immediately understood her thoughts and, amused, decided to tease her.
“She gives me the impression of being pure and untouched…”
Xu Fangfei latched onto the key words and froze.
Then, she hurriedly responded, “Her so-called purity is just because she’s bad at socializing. She’s quiet because she doesn’t talk much.”
“That’s not a virtue—it’s actually a flaw. I’m just as ‘clean’ as she is.”
“I’ve had many admirers, but I’ve never let any of them touch me…”
She had kept herself untouched precisely for this moment.
Talking about such things in front of a man was utterly embarrassing.
But she was determined to prove she was just as good as Li Yunshu.
She was willing to throw everything on the line.
“Really? I find that hard to believe.”
Xu Hao’s smirk deepened.
“It’s true! I swear…”
Since it was the truth—and something she had always prided herself on—Xu Fangfei anxiously defended herself.
Then, she suddenly stopped speaking.
Noticing the look in Xu Hao’s eyes, something clicked in her mind.
He wanted proof.
Xu Fangfei quickly stood up.
She moved beside Xu Hao, wrapped her arms around his, and gently swayed.
“President Xu, I’m telling the truth… How can I make you believe me?”
“Calling me ‘President Xu’ sounds too formal. Call me Daddy.”
Xu Fangfei’s heart leaped with joy. She immediately called out sweetly, “Daddy.”
“Good girl…”
By the time they left the private dining room, two hours had already passed.
Before parting ways, Xu Hao warned Xu Fangfei, “This stays between us. Don’t let anyone else know. If you leak it, you should already understand what I’m capable of.”
Xu Fangfei nodded frantically. “Daddy, don’t worry! I’ll be good, I won’t tell anyone…”
She loved flaunting her status, but she knew the difference between what could be shared and what had to be kept secret. Xu Hao maintained his public persona as a devoted man, yet here he was, secretly involved with another woman. That alone proved he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
If she dared expose this, she had no doubt Xu Hao would destroy her family’s company—or worse, eliminate her entirely.
Xu Fangfei swore she would take this secret to the grave.
After issuing his warning, Xu Hao reminded her, “And don’t forget about Li Yunshu.”
She nodded again, her mind filled with excitement as she watched his car drive away.
Her fists clenched tightly in exhilaration.
She wanted to jump for joy but winced at the soreness in her body.
It was perfect.
She had finally been with the legendary Xu Hao.
Her jealousy toward her rival, Li Yunshu, started to subside.
It was inevitable—Li Yunshu wouldn’t escape Xu Hao’s grasp.
And since Xu Fangfei had already taken the lead, wouldn’t that mean Li Yunshu would have to call her “big sister” in the future?
The thought made her smile.
Meanwhile, Li Yunshu returned home, beaming with happiness.
That Night—
Xu Hao arrived at the Chu family estate for a dinner appointment.
His old friend, Chu Xiong, personally came to greet him at the entrance.
“Dad, who exactly is coming over? Not only did we prepare such an extravagant meal, but you’re also welcoming him at the door?”
Chu Xiong’s son, Chu Xiaotian, couldn’t contain his curiosity any longer.
“I’m here to receive your Uncle Xu.”
“Uncle Xu? Who is that?”
Chu Xiong suddenly realized his family had never met Xu Hao before. Though he and Xu Hao often met for business and tea, they had never invited each other to their homes.
“Xu Hao of the Xu Group.”
Hearing this name, Chu Xiaotian’s eyes widened in shock.
The Xu Group was no weaker than the Chu family—its influence was massive.
“Make sure you behave yourself tonight. If you manage to earn your Uncle Xu’s approval, I’ll let you take over the company.”
Chu Xiong warned him sternly.
He didn’t mention the possibility of a family alliance through marriage.
After all, he wasn’t sure what Xu Hao’s intentions were yet.
If Xu Hao looked down on his son, things would get awkward.
So, everything depended on how well Chu Xiaotian performed in front of him.
“Dad, are you serious?!”
Chu Xiaotian’s eyes instantly lit up.
He had started his own business worth a few hundred million, but it had been bleeding money for years. It was only recently that it finally began turning a profit.
But a company worth a few hundred million was nothing compared to a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate.
For a long time, he had been scheming to wrest control of the family company from his father.
His father always dismissed him, saying he lacked experience. But now, for the first time, he was finally offering him a real chance.
Chu Xiaotian thumped his chest confidently. “Dad, don’t worry! I’ll make sure to impress Uncle Xu!”
Chu Xiong gave his son a glance before heading to the door.
Meanwhile, Chu Xiaotian eagerly rushed over to a young man of average height and refined features.
He slapped him on the shoulder.
“Li Xiao, Brother Li, you have to help me out this time! If I take over the company, I won’t forget your help!”
Li Xiao was one of his father’s most trusted aides.
Rumor had it that he had even saved his father’s life.
A few days ago, his father had assigned Li Xiao to assist him.
And it turned out that Li Xiao was indeed capable.
The company that had been losing money year after year had miraculously turned around under his guidance.
At first, Chu Xiaotian had resented Li Xiao, seeing him as his father’s spy.
But when he saw his company thriving, his attitude made a complete 180.
This guy was a genius.
Now, whenever he faced a problem, his first instinct was to seek Li Xiao’s advice.
At that moment, however, Li Xiao’s gaze was fixed elsewhere—on Chu Xiaotian’s stunningly beautiful stepmother.
Yao Xinrui had chosen to sit in the courtyard instead of going inside, quietly reviewing some documents.
The golden glow of the setting sun filtered through the trees, casting soft light on her elegant figure.
The scene was breathtakingly picturesque.
Li Xiao was mesmerized.
Chu Xiaotian’s sudden slap on the shoulder jolted him back to reality.
He quickly averted his gaze and asked, “What did you just say?”
“I said my uncle is coming over, and I need advice on how to make a good impression.”
“My dad said that if I earn his approval, he’ll hand over the company to me!”
Chu Xiaotian repeated himself, but then narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
“Wait a second, what were you staring at so intently? You didn’t even hear what I said?”
Saying that, he turned his head, trying to see what Li Xiao had been looking at.
Li Xiao immediately grabbed him by the shoulder and steered him away.
“You wanted my advice, right? Let’s talk inside.”
Chu Xiaotian’s attention was successfully diverted.
Li Xiao let out a silent sigh of relief.
He had almost been caught staring at his stepmother—his big brother’s wife.
Because he wasn’t really Li Xiao.
Or rather, he was, but he wasn’t.
The truth was, he had transmigrated into this world from another.
And this world… was the setting of a novel he had once read.
The worst part?
The person whose body he had taken over was nothing more than a loyal lackey of the villain.
A lackey who would die a tragic death.
The original owner of this body had once saved Chu Xiong, a billionaire, and had earned his complete trust.
Recently, Chu Xiong assigned him to protect his useless son, Chu Xiaotian—a spoiled second-generation rich kid, and in the novel, a brainless villain.
Not only was he weak, but he was also both incompetent and reckless.
He fell for the fiancée of the protagonist, Zheng Feifan’s close friend, and began obsessively pursuing her.
The result was predictable.
He got rejected over and over again.
Eventually, he let his frustration consume him and even attempted to kidnap the heroine, Lin Chuqing.
Zheng Feifan caught him in the act and beat him half to death.
From that moment on, their rivalry began.
It lasted until the Chu family was completely wiped out by the protagonist.
The novel he had transmigrated into was called “All Are Protectors of the Flower.”
It followed the story of Zheng Feifan, a betrayed soldier of fortune whose mercenary group was annihilated.
Before his fallen brother died, he asked Zheng Feifan to take care of his fiancée.
The author was clearly a troll.
Why did he have to make it the fiancée of his sworn brother?
After returning to the city, Zheng Feifan went on a rampage, humiliating his enemies at every turn and meeting countless beautiful women.
And this is where the author’s absurd choices came in.
He spent countless chapters developing the female characters, making it obvious they were the heroines.
Yet, despite gathering a massive harem, the protagonist remained a virgin until the very end.
Not a single woman.
Back then, he was so frustrated reading it that he cursed out loud.
The next moment, he felt dizzy, and when he came to—he had transmigrated.
At first, he panicked.
But as time passed, he realized… it wasn’t so bad.
The reason the original owner of this body died was simple—he was too loyal.
The protagonist literally beat him to death.
But he wasn’t the original owner.
Why should he be loyal to the Chu family?
When the protagonist came to destroy them, he could just run away.
Besides, he had one major advantage—a cheat ability from transmigrating.
He knew the entire plot.
He knew all the hidden methods to make money.
With his foresight, he could start a business and build a financial empire.
And that wasn’t all.
Apart from knowing the story, he also discovered that his martial arts talent was extraordinary.
The original owner had barely reached the early stage of Ming Jin (a basic level of martial arts).
Against the protagonist’s An Jin (a much stronger level), he was nothing.
But—
After just a few days of training, his strength skyrocketed, and he easily broke through to Ming Jin mid-stage.
He was ecstatic.
If he kept going at this rate, why wouldn’t he reach the protagonist’s level?
Or even surpass him?
With his knowledge of the plot, he could build a trillion-dollar corporation while continuously improving his strength.
He would rise to the peak of life.
To rule the world by day and embrace beauties by night.
However, since he had no powerful background, he needed startup capital.
And for that, he had to use the Chu family’s resources.
For now, working for them was a necessary step to accumulate funds.
But staying in the Chu family had another reason—his big brother Chu Xiong’s wife.
The villain’s stunning stepmother, Yao Xinrui.
She was one of the heroines.
Mature, sexy, intelligent, and cold… He had to win her over.
If he just wanted to sleep with her, it would be easy.
He knew her secret.
She had been embezzling company funds.
A little blackmail would do the trick.
But he had no interest in such crude methods.
Forcing her wouldn’t be satisfying.
It was too low-level.
Even if he got her body, he wouldn’t get her heart.
Winning her over wouldn’t be easy, though—Yao Xinrui had androphobia (a fear or aversion to men).
He would have to slowly break down her walls.
He was ready for a long-term battle.
And not just for Yao Xinrui.
There was also the protagonist’s beautiful landlady.
And the protagonist’s sworn brother’s fiancée, the icy CEO.
None of them would escape his grasp.
What do you think?
