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

Chapter 31: Charging Forward for Love! The Protagonist Who Sees the Truth

The birthday ceremony began with lighting candles, making wishes, and cutting the cake.

Afterward, the two shared a candlelit dinner together.

Before leaving, Xia Qingge took the bouquet of roses with her.

She adored roses, and these 999 roses were the most beautiful she’d ever seen.

More importantly, they were from Uncle Xu.

By the time they left the restaurant, night had fallen.

Xu Hao couldn’t wait to return and prepare the bunny girl costume for Su Wanqiu.

But first, he needed to send Xia Qingge home.

Meanwhile, Chen Mo wandered aimlessly through the streets, his mood gloomy.

He had honed his skills in prison, intending to make a name for himself—

To win over his dream girl and take down arrogant rich kids.

Instead, he’d faced one defeat after another.

Not only had he failed to get revenge, but he’d also been beaten by the rich kid.

His attempts to get closer to his admired teacher and his goddess were thwarted by a meddling old man.

“Xu Hao, huh? You’d better not hurt them, or I’ll make sure you regret it…”

Whoosh—

A car sped past.

Chen Mo’s eyes narrowed as he caught a glimpse of Xia Qingge in the passenger seat.

The driver was none other than Xu Hao.

And it didn’t stop there.

Chen Mo’s sharp eyes, honed through his harsh prison training, noticed the bouquet of roses in Xia Qingge’s hands.

He had no doubt they were a gift from Xu Hao.

So, this is the famous Xu Hao everyone praises? I thought you had impeccable character…

Flirting with your female subordinates? Absolutely shameless.

After suffering two setbacks at Xu Hao’s hands, Chen Mo had looked into his background.

Xu Hao was easy to investigate—his public image was stellar.

He was known for his charitable donations and steadfast loyalty in relationships.

Hearing this, Chen Mo had initially felt reassured, believing Xu Hao wouldn’t have any inappropriate intentions toward Teacher Wang Xueying or Xia Qingge.

But now, seeing Xu Hao gift roses to Xia Qingge—and her accepting them—

What were they planning next?

Booking a hotel room!

No way in hell.

Chen Mo immediately sprinted after the car at top speed.

Ding! Chen Mo’s rage flares up. Emotional value +448.

Xu Hao spotted Chen Mo charging after them through the rearview mirror.

An idea struck him, and a mischievous grin spread across his face.

Instead of taking Xia Qingge straight home, Xu Hao began circling the city.

A 10-minute drive stretched into 30 minutes.

He kept the speed high, forcing Chen Mo to eat exhaust fumes the entire way.

At first, Chen Mo managed to keep up easily.

But as time passed, fatigue set in.

By the end, he was drenched in sweat, panting heavily, and utterly exhausted.

Ding! Chen Mo’s hatred deepens. Emotional value +668.

Finally, the car arrived at a residential complex.

“Uncle Xu, this has been the happiest birthday of my life. Thank you,” Xia Qingge said, summoning her courage to express her gratitude.

Xu Hao smiled.

“You’re daughter of Xia Jianghai, and my niece. Plus, you’re an invaluable employee. Celebrating your birthday is only natural.”

He stepped on the brake and waved her off.

“Alright, head home early. Let me know if you need anything.”

“Uncle Xu, you’ve never been to my house before. Since we’re already here, why not come in for a bit?”

Before stepping out, Xia Qingge extended the invitation.

Her gaze darted nervously, avoiding Xu Hao’s eyes.

Oh no, Xia Qingge, what are you saying?

Her father likely wasn’t home yet. Inviting Uncle Xu inside—alone with him—what if something happened…

Stop it, Xia Qingge! What are you even thinking?

You’re the one with dirty thoughts. How could you think so poorly of Uncle Xu?

With his character, there’s no way he’d…

“Go in?”

While Xia Qingge wrestled with her inner angel and demon, Xu Hao was contemplating the same question.

Ultimately, he decided against it.

The timing wasn’t right yet.

It was clear—

This young woman had feelings for him, but not to the point of being easily swayed.

Perhaps he could take advantage of her gratitude to push things further.

But once her emotions settled, she’d likely regret it.

A fleeting moment of pleasure wasn’t worth jeopardizing their relationship.

Besides, Xu Hao had plans to groom her into a capable assistant.

It wasn’t safe to go to Xia Qingge’s house either. If Xia Jianghai came back and caught them, it would cause a huge scene.

Besides, there was still a little “tail” following them.

Xu Hao discreetly glanced at the rearview mirror.

A figure, drenched in sweat and utterly exhausted, stood silently in the shadows, watching.

Moreover, back at home, there was still the protagonist’s stepmother waiting for him.

And the bunny girl costume he had stashed in his portable space—it was calling to him.

Forget it, he thought. That’s enough for today.

He had already earned a lot of favorability points from this female lead, making all his effort worthwhile.

“Let’s leave it for another time. I’ve got some things to take care of at home. Next time, I’ll visit your place—just don’t kick me out when I do,” Xu Hao said casually.

Hearing Xu Hao decline, Xia Qingge felt a pang of disappointment but nodded in understanding.

After getting out of the car—

She watched as Xu Hao’s car disappeared into the distance. Standing there, she couldn’t shake the daze that had overtaken her.

“Cl… class monitor…”

A hoarse voice broke the silence.

Xia Qingge turned toward the familiar sound, her curiosity piqued.

Chen Mo, drenched in sweat, was trudging toward her.

“Chen, what happened to you?” she asked, puzzled.

Chen Mo’s expression stiffened, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

“Nothing. Just… night running.”

“Oh.”

Xia Qingge didn’t press further. She turned back toward her house.

“Take your time running. Be careful out there tonight.”

Chen Mo: “…”
