Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 106

Chapter 106

“…I’ll cover for you…”

Hearing Li Xiao’s words, Yao Xinrui was stunned.

What was going on?

He was Chu Xiong’s loyal follower.

His sister-in-law was going on a date with another man, and not only did he not inform his boss, but he was also helping to cover for her?

Yao Xinrui’s expression shifted, unable to comprehend what was wrong with this guy that Chu Xiong had sent over.

“Why?”

After a long pause, she finally voiced her doubts.

Li Xiao opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.

How was he supposed to explain?

Should he admit that he had agreed to Xu Hao’s terms and sold her out?

Since he remained silent, Yao Xinrui didn’t bother asking any further.

Li Xiao didn’t look like he was lying, which reassured her.

With no risk of her date being exposed, she could proceed with completing her five-day agreement with Xu Hao as soon as possible.

At six o’clock…

Following the location Xu Hao had provided, Yao Xinrui arrived at a private restaurant.

Li Xiao trailed behind her at a distance.

She didn’t refuse his presence.

As long as he didn’t inform Chu Xiong, it was fine.

Yao Xinrui had no idea what Xu Hao was planning. Having someone follow her made her believe that Xu Hao wouldn’t dare to go too far.

If she knew that Li Xiao was working for Xu Hao, she wouldn’t have thought that way.

Li Xiao looked utterly miserable.

The thought of Xu Hao soon taking his sister-in-law made him feel like coughing up blood.

If Xu Hao liked his sister-in-law, why not go after her directly?

Why drag him into this as a cover?

This was truly psychological torment at its peak.

They arrived at the reserved private dining room.

Xu Hao was already inside, waiting. When he saw Yao Xinrui walk in, he greeted her.

“Sister-in-law, you’re here! Come, have a seat.”

Yao Xinrui pursed her lips.

As she approached, Xu Hao suddenly reached out and pulled her into the seat beside him.

Watching this, Li Xiao felt a sharp pang in his chest.

Clenching his teeth, he forced himself to act as if he hadn’t seen anything.

He then walked forward, preparing to sit down as well.

But just as he was about to, Xu Hao coughed lightly.

“A lackey should know their place. Since when do followers eat at the same table as their master? Stand by the side and wait.”

Chu Xiong treated the protagonist like a brother, like family.

But Xu Hao? Not at all.

By forcing Li Xiao to do his bidding, Xu Hao wanted to humiliate him.

Dinner?

Keep dreaming!

He was only allowed to watch as Xu Hao enjoyed the meal with his sister-in-law.

“……”

Li Xiao was dumbfounded.

Wait, he wasn’t even allowed to eat?

Was he being treated like a servant from ancient times?

His expression kept changing. Sitting down felt wrong, but so did standing up.

Meanwhile, Xu Hao sat extremely close to Yao Xinrui, his expression filled with amusement.

Li Xiao’s rage boiled over.

He was just about to lose it.

But then, thinking of his sister, Li Yunshu, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.

Obediently, he stepped aside.

[Ding… Li Xiao is furious! Emotion value +862…].[Ding… Yao Xinrui feels anger rising! Emotion value +935…].

Yao Xinrui frowned.

Wasn’t Li Xiao Chu Xiong’s loyal follower?

Why was he listening to Xu Hao so obediently?

She had thought that having someone else present would make Xu Hao restrain himself.

But reality didn’t match her expectations.

“Mr. Xu, you go ahead and eat. I’m not hungry…”

A strange uneasiness crept up inside her.

Sitting this close to Xu Hao made her uncomfortable.

But with leverage in his hands, she didn’t dare to show anger, making her feel utterly helpless.

However, just as she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly growled twice.

Both men instinctively turned to look at her.

Yao Xinrui’s lips twitched in embarrassment.

Because of Xu Hao’s earlier phone call, she had been too upset to eat lunch.

Now, with the rich aroma of the food filling the room, she really was hungry.

She cursed her uncooperative stomach in frustration.

This was humiliating.

“Sister-in-law, lying isn’t good. Come on, eat a little. You’ll need energy later…”

Xu Hao casually patted her shoulder.

Yao Xinrui’s body stiffened.

Feeling Xu Hao’s hand on her, her aversion to men flared up, filling her with disgust.

And what did he mean by needing energy later?

The implication was obvious.

She had no way to refuse.

If she didn’t obey him, it wouldn’t just be a pat on the shoulder—he might do something even worse.

Left with no choice, Yao Xinrui reluctantly picked up her chopsticks.

“That’s more like it. No need to be polite, Sister-in-law…”

Xu Hao smirked mockingly.

Watching her submit to his will, unable to resist, made him feel a twisted sense of satisfaction.

He truly was walking further down the path of a villain.

[Ding… Yao Xinrui feels anxious! Emotion value +753…].[Ding… Li Xiao’s mindset collapses! Emotion value +999…].

Xu Hao raised an eyebrow.

Glancing at Li Xiao, he noted how shaken he looked.

His mentality was already crumbling?

Come on, little brother, you need to hold on.

The night was just getting started.

How much emotion value he could harvest today depended on him.

Meanwhile, standing nearby—

Li Xiao clenched his fists as he observed Xu Hao’s actions.

Of course, he understood what Xu Hao was implying.

He was planning to completely take his sister-in-law tonight.

Even though Li Xiao had mentally prepared himself when agreeing to Xu Hao’s conditions,

he hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.

His sister-in-law was the first breathtaking beauty he had seen after transmigrating.

He had vowed to win her over.

But now…

Watching her being taken advantage of, knowing she would soon end up in bed with Xu Hao,

Li Xiao was devastated.

His heart ached, twisting in pain.

His mind was breaking, but it didn’t affect Xu Hao in the slightest.

Xu Hao continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Even someone as powerful as him needed to replenish energy—after all, he had to give his sister-in-law a night to remember.

He ate with great satisfaction.

Yao Xinrui, seeing this, felt her own hunger grow.

She hesitated at first, maintaining a reserved posture.

But the private dishes were simply too delicious.

Once she started eating, she couldn’t stop.

Meanwhile, the protagonist was practically drooling from hunger…

Yao Xinrui was slightly better off since she had at least eaten breakfast.

Li Xiao, on the other hand, had been suffering since morning—

After sending his sister off and striking a deal with Xu Hao, he had been so miserable that he hadn’t eaten a single bite.

He had originally planned to enjoy a feast tonight since Xu Hao was footing the bill.

But now, he wasn’t even allowed to sit down?

Was this even human behavior?

His emotion value skyrocketed.

Yao Xinrui finished her meal, still wanting more.

At that moment, Xu Hao suddenly reached out with a napkin, slowly bringing it to her lips—clearly intending to wipe them for her.

She followed his arm upward and saw Xu Hao smiling at her.

“Sis-in-law, slow down. No one’s fighting you for food. You’ve turned into a little messy cat,” he teased, gently wiping her lips.

Yao Xinrui froze.

In her mind, Xu Hao had always been a devil, yet now he was being so gentle. She wasn’t used to it at all.

Wait a minute—why was Xu Hao being so kind?

Immediately, she became alert.

Sure enough, what she feared happened.

After wiping the corner of her mouth, Xu Hao smirked and said teasingly, “Sis-in-law, I helped you. Shouldn’t you show some appreciation?”

Yao Xinrui felt completely uncomfortable.

If she remembered correctly, Xu Hao was even older than her. Yet, he kept calling her “sis-in-law”—it felt strange.

But she didn’t dare to protest and could only let him be.

Show appreciation? How?

She looked at him in confusion.

That was when she noticed a bit of oil on the corner of Xu Hao’s lips.

A realization hit her.

Was he asking her to wipe his mouth too?

After a moment of hesitation, she clenched her teeth.

Wiping his mouth wasn’t a big deal.

It was better than him dragging her to a hotel.

Since she couldn’t escape the five-day agreement, she figured she should delay things as much as possible.

She took out a napkin and leaned forward, but she was too far away to reach.

So, she stood up and moved closer.

Just as she reached him, she suddenly tripped, losing control and falling forward—

“Ah!” Yao Xinrui gasped in shock, her face turning pale.

She thought she was going to hit the ground.

But she didn’t.

Xu Hao had caught her.

His arm wrapped around her waist and, with a light pull, she tumbled right into his arms—

And, just like that, ended up sitting on his lap.

Yao Xinrui was so startled that her face went white.

Like grabbing onto a lifeline, she instinctively wrapped her arms around Xu Hao’s neck.

Only when she calmed down did she realize her situation.

She was sitting on Xu Hao’s lap, holding onto him.

Her face turned red instantly, and she quickly tried to get up.

But Xu Hao held her tight, not letting go.

“Sis-in-law, were you about to wipe my mouth? Be careful not to hurt yourself. If you get hurt, I’d be worried,” he said in a sickeningly sweet tone.

Yao Xinrui glared at him, furious.

This guy still wasn’t letting go!

Seeing his expression, she knew if she didn’t respond, he wouldn’t release her.

Helplessly, she nodded.

But Xu Hao smirked even more.

“I’m not done eating yet. Why would I need my mouth wiped?”

“Then…?”

Yao Xinrui cursed in her heart.

If you’re not done eating, then what the hell do you want me to do?

Xu Hao’s eyes glowed with amusement.

“I want… you to feed me.”

Yao Xinrui was stunned.

She stared at him in disbelief, wondering if she had misheard.

Feed you?

Are you a child?

But she knew Xu Hao was just messing with her.

Yao Xinrui was furious.

She wanted to throw the chopsticks and leave, but she couldn’t.

Xu Hao held something over her—she had no choice but to obey.

Taking a deep breath, she picked up the chopsticks and began feeding him.

“Damn it…”

Li Xiao’s eyes burned with rage, his face twisted in anger.

His heart trembled with frustration.

As an outsider watching, he saw everything clearly.

Xu Hao had deliberately tripped Yao Xinrui—

Blatantly taking advantage of her.

Right now, Li Xiao wanted nothing more than to charge forward and kill Xu Hao.

Only his last shred of reason held him back.

He watched helplessly as Yao Xinrui sat in Xu Hao’s arms, feeding him with chopsticks—

Looking even more intimate than a real couple.

Xu Hao, enjoying the moment, felt completely satisfied.

While he was having the time of his life, Yao Xinrui felt suffocated with frustration—

And Li Xiao? His lungs were about to explode.

[Ding… Yao Xinrui feels anxious. Emotion points +842…].[Ding… Li Xiao is consumed by rage. Emotion points +997…].

Finally, the meal ended.

Xu Hao ate his fill.

At first, Yao Xinrui had been extremely uncomfortable, but as time passed, she gradually got used to it.

As for Li Xiao—

His suffering?

Who could he even talk to about it?

The pain was worse than death.

Li Xiao kept his head down, clenching his fists, afraid that if he saw Xu Hao’s smug face, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from punching him.

As the mastermind behind everything, Xu Hao saw it all clearly—but he didn’t care in the slightest.

The real show was just beginning.

He hoped the protagonist could hold on.

Dinner ended.

Xu Hao planned to take Yao Xinrui out for a walk, then a movie. It was going to be a long night.

Ring, ring… Ring, ring… Ring, ring…

Li Xiao, starving and gritting his teeth, was about to follow them when his phone rang.

It was his older brother, Chu Xiong.

His heart tightened.

He quickly adjusted his emotions.

His role was clear—to cover for Xu Hao and Yao Xinrui.

A strong thought surged in his mind: tell Chu Xiong everything Xu Hao had done to his wife.

Let him see how his “good friend” was treating her.

But he held back.

If he spilled the truth, at most, Xu Hao would fall out with the Chu family—but nothing serious would happen to him.

Li Xiao, on the other hand, would be doomed.

Xu Hao would definitely retaliate, and his sister would be the first target.

Taking a deep breath, he answered the call.

“Xiao, how’s Xinrui?” Chu Xiong’s voice came through.

Li Xiao glanced at Yao Xinrui, who was still in Xu Hao’s arms.

How was she?

She was practically cuddling up to him.

His heart twisted in pain, but he forced himself to stay calm.

“Big Brother, she’s the same as always. We just finished dinner and are heading home.”

Chu Xiong trusted his most loyal subordinate.

“Good. Follow her home and make sure she’s safe. You can leave after that. Pick her up again in the morning.”

“Don’t worry, Big Brother. I’ll protect her and make sure nothing happens to her.”

Li Xiao hung up, bitterness washing over him.

He wanted to protect her, but he was powerless.

Xu Hao was a complete bastard…

The bustling streets were alive with light and chatter.

Xu Hao and Yao Xinrui walked side by side.

Xu Hao was in a great mood, while Yao Xinrui kept her brows furrowed, lost in thought.

Today had been surreal.

She had never been this close to a man before.

Even with Chu Xiong, their marriage was purely an agreement—they had never been intimate, never even touched.

Her aversion to men made this unbearable.

Yet, because Xu Hao knew her secret, she had no choice but to go along with him.

What else did he have planned?

Uneasy, Yao Xinrui followed as they chose a quieter street to avoid being recognized.

Before she knew it, they had reached the riverside and stopped.

Lanterns hung all around, casting a mesmerizing glow.

Xu Hao noticed several people taking pictures in the distance.

An idea struck him.

He glanced back.

Sure enough, Li Xiao was still following like a shadow, his eyes burning with rage.

Xu Hao smirked and waved him over—

A casual, commanding gesture, as if summoning a pet.

Li Xiao’s face darkened.

He looked like he had just swallowed something disgusting, but he still walked up to them.

“The scenery is beautiful tonight, and I’m in a great mood. Take a picture for us,” Xu Hao ordered.

Li Xiao froze.

What did he mean?

Did he really just ask him to take a picture—of him and Yao Xinrui?

A couple’s photo? freewёbnoνel.com

Li Xiao’s expression stiffened, his lips twitching.

It was bad enough that Xu Hao was messing with his sister-in-law and forcing him to cover for them.

Now he had to take their intimate photo?

How much worse could this get?

“You have a problem with that?” Xu Hao raised an eyebrow.

“…No.”

Li Xiao swallowed his anger and nodded.

Xu Hao turned to Yao Xinrui and pulled her slightly closer.

“Sis-in-law, it’s such a beautiful night. Let’s take a picture to remember it.”

Yao Xinrui was speechless.

What kind of relationship did they have that they needed to take a photo together?

She wanted to refuse.

If this picture got out and Chu Xiong saw it, she’d be in serious trouble.

But she had no choice.

If Xu Hao got upset and exposed her embezzlement, she’d be completely ruined.

Since she stayed silent, Xu Hao took it as agreement.

He led her to a large parasol tree by the river.

Dazed, Yao Xinrui let herself be pulled along.

Then, she felt his arm tighten around her waist, holding her against him.

Xu Hao turned to the camera, flashing a bright smile.

Li Xiao’s heart bled.

Xu Hao had stolen his goddess—

And now, he was making him take their picture.

He was inhuman.

And that smirk—

That smirk nearly made Li Xiao lose it.

He was mocking him.
