Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 113

Chapter 113

Another sleepless night…

This time, Li Xiao didn’t foolishly wait outside the hotel. Instead, he wandered home in a daze.

His sister mentioned things about the company, praising Xu Hao endlessly. Their parents nodded in agreement.

Li Xiao felt utterly exhausted.

He wanted nothing more than a deep sleep—to forget that his sister-in-law was indulging in passion with Xu Hao.

But the more he tried to forget, the more the images flooded his mind.

Tossing and turning, he couldn’t sleep.

After a sleepless night, Li Xiao stepped out with dark circles under his eyes, ready to find Chu Xiaotian and be his errand boy.

As for picking up his sister-in-law for work?

Forget it.

She was probably still asleep.

Damn it, Xu Hao was relentless.

Sure, you’re strong, but can’t you show some restraint? Maybe consider how she feels?

Ring, ring, ring…

His phone rang.

Li Xiao picked it up and saw that it was his big brother, Chu Xiong. Instantly, he perked up a little.

After all, he had the task of covering for his sister-in-law and Xu Hao.

He answered the call.

On the other end, Chu Xiong’s deep voice came through.

“Xiao, have you picked up Xinrui? I’m at the office, but I don’t see her.”

Li Xiao froze.

Big brother went to her office?

He had almost said he had already dropped her off.

Good thing he hadn’t. That would’ve exposed the lie immediately.

Now, he needed an excuse.

Thinking quickly, he spoke calmly.

“Big brother, I was just about to tell you. Sister-in-law isn’t feeling well today—it’s her ankle again.”

“She insisted on working after twisting it a few days ago, and now it’s flaring up again. She decided to rest at home today and won’t be going to the office…”

Even as he spoke, Li Xiao felt bitter inside.

The last time his sister-in-law left the hotel with Xu Hao, she definitely looked like she had twisted her ankle.

This time, it was probably even worse.

Saying it was an ankle injury relapse wasn’t even a lie.

“What? Her ankle injury is acting up again? Is it serious? I’ll come over now.”

Chu Xiong frowned.

He had no real feelings for Yao Xinrui.

But since they were married on paper, he had to put on a show in front of others.

Li Xiao panicked.

If big brother went over and saw his wife with Xu Hao…

He might explode on the spot.

Most people would be completely flustered at this point.

But after his initial shock, Li Xiao quickly calmed down.

He had read the novel and knew his big brother’s personality.

Chu Xiong wasn’t actually worried about his wife. He just wanted to keep up appearances.

As long as he convinced him that she wasn’t seeking treatment in a public place, he wouldn’t insist on coming over.

So Li Xiao replied calmly,

“Big brother, don’t worry. Sister-in-law is fine. She just asked me to buy some medicinal oil for her.”

“I told her to go to the hospital, but she said it wasn’t serious and that rubbing some medicine on it would be enough.”

Chu Xiong’s frown relaxed.

“If it’s nothing serious, then I won’t go. You don’t need to meet up with Xiaotian either. Just stay and take care of your sister-in-law.”

“If it gets worse, take her to the hospital and let me know…”

Call ended.

Li Xiao stood there, stunned.

He stared at his phone, completely dumbfounded.

This big brother… he could cry.

Did he really trust him this much?

He just handed his wife over to him, completely unworried about being cheated on.

If Xu Hao weren’t around, Li Xiao would be overjoyed.

He could stick close to his sister-in-law and win her over easily.

But now…

He wanted to take care of her.

But he couldn’t even see her.

She was probably still in that hotel with Xu Hao.

Damn it!

She should have been his.

And yet, that bastard Xu Hao had stolen her away. freewёbnoνel.com

After hanging up on Li Xiao, Chu Xiong called his wife, Yao Xinrui.

Beep… beep…

No answer.

She was probably too focused on applying medicine.

He tried again, several times.

Still no answer.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that she finally picked up.

Her voice sounded… a little off.

Chu Xiong assumed it was because the medicine hadn’t helped.

“I heard from Xiao that your ankle got worse. How are you? Why didn’t you go to the hospital?”

After dealing with Chu Xiong, Yao Xinrui turned and glared at Xu Hao with a mix of resentment and embarrassment.

Xu Hao smirked playfully at her.

[Ding… Yao Xinrui’s shame skyrockets. Emotion value +963…]

Li Xiao arrived at the hotel where his sister-in-law and Xu Hao were staying.

He waited outside for over an hour before finally seeing them walk out.

As expected, his sister-in-law looked even more exhausted.

[Ding… Li Xiao’s heartbreak intensifies. Emotion value +987…]

[Ding… Li Xiao’s mental breakdown. Emotion value +999…]

Xu Hao glanced at Li Xiao’s pale face.

He decided to speed up his plans with Yao Xinrui.

This was just the beginning, and the so-called protagonist was already struggling to hold on.

After just two days, he figured Yao Xinrui had recovered enough, so he planned to meet up with her again.

But then, a message changed his plans.

It said—

Yao Xinrui had gone to his wife’s beauty salon.

His wife…

That stunning stepmother of the protagonist, Su Wanqiu.

Tsk, tsk… this was getting interesting.

He instructed Bai Ling to prepare the car and headed for Wanqiu Beauty Salon.

Su Wanqiu had been complaining about wanting a companion.

Well, now a comrade had arrived.

They could fight for love together.

Li Xiao drove to the address his sister-in-law gave him.

As he approached, his eyes were drawn to a figure standing outside the salon.

A mature woman, exuding elegance and charm, stood there.

She wasn’t a young girl, yet her skin was flawless, practically glowing.

Dressed in professional attire, her eyes carried an intoxicating allure.

She had the poise of a mature woman, yet she was just as stunning—if not more so—than Yao Xinrui.

Li Xiao stared too long and almost crashed into a tree.

He slammed the brakes just in time.

His sister-in-law in the backseat stumbled forward and shot him a cold glare.

She despised him.

He was supposed to be Chu Xiong’s trusted subordinate, yet he was betraying him for Xu Hao.

Especially since he had even arranged her hotel stays and insisted she dress up for “fun.”

And yet, Chu Xiong still treated him like family.

Traitors like him were the worst.

If Chu Xiong hadn’t assigned him, she would have kicked him out long ago.

“Can you even drive? If not, I’ll do it myself next time.”

“Sorry, sister-in-law…”

Before Li Xiao could explain, Yao Xinrui had already lost interest. She pushed the car door open and stepped out.

Bang! She slammed the door shut.

Carrying her bag, she walked toward the figure standing at the entrance of the beauty salon.

Ever since their last meeting, Su Wanqiu had frequently messaged her, inviting her out for a chat or to visit the salon for skincare treatments.

Yao Xinrui had refused every time.

The day after that incident, Xu Hao had threatened her and set a five-day deadline. He had also revealed that this “good friend” of hers was trying to introduce women to her husband.

How could she dare to meet Su Wanqiu?

But after a few days, Su Wanqiu sent another invitation.

Yao Xinrui thought about it. Since what happened with Xu Hao was already unavoidable, and she couldn’t escape the five-day deadline, what was there left to fear?

She hadn’t seen her good friend in a while and had a lot on her mind that she needed to talk about. She decided to meet today.

She didn’t resent Su Wanqiu.

It was all Xu Hao’s doing. Su Wanqiu had nothing to do with it.

She was certain that Su Wanqiu had been tricked by him.

How could such a vile scumbag get Su Wanqiu to go along with him so willingly—even going as far as pulling her into it?

“Xinrui! Finally, I get to see you. It’s so hard to get you to come out…”

Su Wanqiu greeted her with a warm smile and opened her arms.

Seeing her friend so enthusiastic, Yao Xinrui’s mood improved. She opened her arms as well.

The two women hugged tightly.

Both were mature, stunningly beautiful, and well-endowed—almost bouncing off each other.

“Xinrui, what have you been up to lately? You don’t even reply to my messages.”

Su Wanqiu held her hand as they walked into the beauty salon, her voice tinged with displeasure.

In the distance, Li Xiao stood frozen, staring.

His sister-in-law actually knew this gorgeous woman?

And they seemed pretty close!

Watching two breathtaking beauties embrace, his heart almost melted.

Then a question popped into his mind.

Who was this woman?

He didn’t recall her being mentioned in the novel.

His sister-in-law was always cold and distant, suffering from severe androphobia. She had never been the type to have close friends.

The thought flashed through his mind briefly before he snapped back to reality and quickly followed them.

No matter who this elegant woman was, she was even more beautiful than most female leads—he couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity.

Li Xiao sped up, trying to catch up with them.

Walking beside two gorgeous women like that would be pure bliss.

However, just as he reached the entrance of the beauty salon—

Two security guards stopped him.

“What’s the meaning of this?”

Li Xiao frowned.

“Meaning? I should be asking you that. Didn’t you see the sign? This is a ladies-only beauty salon. What’s a man like you doing here?”

The security guard glared at him.

Even they, as security staff, weren’t allowed past the outer area of the salon.

Late Autumn Beauty Salon catered exclusively to wealthy socialites and heiresses.

It was not a place for rough men like them.

“Who made this ridiculous rule? I’m a customer. Why can’t I go in?”

“Late Autumn Beauty Salon only serves female members. No men allowed.”

The guard’s expression remained stern.

Li Xiao was beyond frustrated.

He watched as the two curvy beauties disappeared into the salon while he was stuck outside.

“I’m that lady’s driver and bodyguard. I need to be inside to ensure her safety.”

“Ha!”

The two guards exchanged a look before bursting into laughter.

Safety?

Did this guy even know where he was?

This was the personal business of Xu Hao’s wife—a place with top-notch security.

No one would dare cause trouble here.

Back in the day, they might have worried about random thugs breaking in.

But now, Xu Hao had stationed elite mercenaries in the salon.

At this point, even the strongest of protagonists would struggle to make a scene here.

“Rules are rules. You’ll have to wait outside. Or, if you want, you can wait in our designated lounge.”

The guards refused to budge.

Li Xiao was irritated.

He had really wanted to take a closer look at that stunning woman.

But he wasn’t going to give up just yet.

His eyes flickered with thought. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a high-end cigarette brand he had previously bought for a villain.

He offered some to the guards.

“Come on, brothers. I was out of line earlier. Have a smoke and take it easy.”

“No smoking on duty.”

The guards rejected his offer outright.

They had all come from elite military backgrounds, handpicked by Xu Hao for this job.

Seeing that Li Xiao at least knew how to show respect, they softened their expressions slightly.

They decided to forgive him for staring at their boss’s wife and attempting to barge into the salon.

Li Xiao awkwardly retracted his hand, stuffing the cigarette box back into his pocket.

He seized the moment to casually ask,

“That woman just now—she’s absolutely stunning, even more gorgeous than my sister-in-law. Do you guys know who she is?”

He intentionally used a knowing tone, trying to bond with them over shared appreciation.

But something was off.

The guards’ expressions suddenly turned cold.

One of them spoke icily.

“That’s our boss’s wife.”

“…Oh.”

Li Xiao was dumbfounded.

He had assumed that, like his sister-in-law, the woman at the entrance was just another customer at the beauty salon. He never expected her to be the owner.

No wonder the security guards had been so hostile toward him from the start.

“Kid, you actually dared to make a move on our boss’s wife? You must have a death wish!”

“Get lost! You should be grateful you didn’t say anything inappropriate, or you wouldn’t just be walking away.”

The guards radiated killing intent, as if they would beat him up if he didn’t leave immediately.

“Uh… my bad. I really didn’t know she was your boss’s wife.”

Li Xiao awkwardly apologized.

But the guards weren’t interested. They just stared him down coldly.

Even though Li Xiao had mid-stage Ming Jin (internal energy) strength and wasn’t afraid of these non-martial artist security guards, he knew it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Since he was in the wrong, he had no choice but to step aside and wait under a tree.

Just then, a voice that was all too familiar—a voice he hated to the bone—rang out.

“Xiao.”

Li Xiao’s expression changed. He whipped his head around.

Sure enough, Xu Hao was approaching.

His face instantly darkened.

How had this guy found him here?

He had barely arrived with his sister-in-law, and Xu Hao showed up right after.

There was no way this was a coincidence.

Are you the devil or something?!

Big bro, she just had two days of rest, her twisted ankle only just healed, and now you’re here again?!

You’re not young anymore! Going at it all night, every night—aren’t you afraid your body will give out?!

Fine, maybe you’re not. But can you at least think about my sister-in-law?

She’s been working with a frown for days, gritting her teeth through the pain!

Xu Hao smiled casually. “What a coincidence. Why are you here alone? Your sister-in-law should be inside, right? I’ll go in and check on her.”

Without bothering to acknowledge Li Xiao’s ugly expression, Xu Hao strode toward the beauty salon entrance.

[Ding… Li Xiao is filled with resentment. Emotion value +678…]

Li Xiao remained expressionless, crossing his arms as he waited for the show to unfold.

The salon didn’t allow men inside. He wanted to see how Xu Hao would be stopped by security.

But soon, his smug look froze.

The same security guards who had been fierce toward him just moments ago…

Were now bowing respectfully to Xu Hao before opening the door for him.

Just like that, Xu Hao casually strolled into the ladies-only beauty salon.

WTF?!

Li Xiao lost it.

Why could Xu Hao go in while he got stopped?

Was this discrimination?!

There was no doubt that Xu Hao had come for his sister-in-law.

And considering that the boss’s wife was with her right now…

If that scumbag saw them together, he definitely wouldn’t let things slide.

Li Xiao had to get in and keep an eye on him.

He rushed to the entrance, only to be blocked by the guards again. Their piercing gazes sent a clear warning.

“Why can he go in, but I can’t?”

“So this place bullies customers, huh? Want me to expose you?”

Li Xiao protested angrily.

One of the guards shot him a sideways glance and said flatly,

“That’s our boss. Of course, he can go in. Who the hell do you think you are?”
