Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Xu Hao’s “Heartfelt Expression”! The Teacher with the Vermillion Mark

When Xu Shiqing stepped out to retrieve her painting, night had already fallen.

The sky was dim, so she didn’t examine the painting closely and hurriedly put it away.

It was her competition piece, due for submission the next day.

Another sleepless night…

The two sisters, Xu Shiqing and Xu Huayi, packed their things and prepared to head to school.

Just as they stepped out the door, a car blocked their path.

The driver’s side window rolled down, revealing Xu Hao’s face.

“Get in. I’ll drive you to school.”

The sisters froze in surprise.

Was the sun rising in the west today?

This man, who never cared whether they lived or died, not only gave them pocket money but now wanted to drive them to school?

After all—

Xu Hao, the CEO of a billion-dollar corporation, always traveled with his secretary as the driver.

They had never seen him drive himself before…

Yet today, Xu Hao was behind the wheel, ready to drive them.

“No… no need. We can go ourselves,” Xu Shiqing, the older and more composed sister, shook her head and refused politely.

“Hm?”

Xu Hao frowned slightly, exuding an authoritative aura that made the sisters falter. Then, with a melancholic expression, he said:

“I was a terrible father before, but now I’ve realized my mistakes. I want to make up for everything I owe you… Starting with driving you to school.”

“Shiqing, Huayi, can you give Dad a chance?”

As he spoke, his gaze was sincere, locking onto the sisters.

Inside, Xu Hao chuckled to himself:

Life is a play, and acting is the key.

Feeling Xu Hao’s heartfelt expression, the sisters were flustered.

The words of refusal lingered on their lips but refused to come out.

And so, somewhat bewildered, the two sisters got into Xu Hao’s car.

Xu Hao flashed a victorious smile.

“Two naive little girls think they can outsmart me? Too green…”

He drove his daughters to the entrance of Modu University.

Before they left, Xu Hao casually asked,

“Shiqing, Huayi, are you adjusting well at school? Has anyone been bothering you?”

Though the daughters were portrayed as pure and self-respecting protagonists in the “Return of the Warlord”  this was reality, and admirers couldn’t be ruled out.

Xu Hao wasn’t about to let “wild boars” trample on his “precious cabbages.”

Any close male interactions were strictly forbidden.

He didn’t ask directly but probed indirectly to avoid suspicion.

Previously, the sisters would never have thought Xu Hao cared for them when hearing such words.

But now, after two days of groundwork and his recent “heartfelt expression,” they were moved.

“No…”

Both shook their heads.

“That’s good.”

Xu Hao smiled and said with a commanding tone,

“If anyone dares bully you, let me know. I’ll make them regret it.”

Hearing Xu Hao’s protective words, the sisters had mixed emotions.

[Ding… Xu Shiqing feels conflicted. Emotional value +333…]

[Ding… Xu Huayi feels touched. Emotional value +444…]

“Alright, go on. Let me know if anything comes up,” Xu Hao added.

The sisters nodded and walked into the school.

At the entrance, they saw a strikingly beautiful woman in a professional outfit approaching.

Immediately, they greeted her politely.

“Good morning, Director.”

“Good morning to you too…”

Wang Xueying, their teacher, smiled warmly at her two outstanding students.

Not far away, Xu Hao watched his daughters enter the school.

Reluctantly, he decided to leave.

Sending them off made him sentimental.

If only they stayed home; he could harvest so much emotional value…

He hadn’t mentioned returning home because he believed they would come back soon.

Thinking about the painting from last night, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

“Hm?”

Just then, he noticed his daughters greeting a mature, attractive woman.

Out of instinct, Xu Hao checked her information:

[Name]: Wang Xueying

[Role]: Teacher at Modu University, Female Lead of  “The Dragon Returns from Prison”

[Charm]: 92 (Max: 100)

[Strength]: 10 (Average: 10)

[Constitution]: 10 (Average: 10)

[Spirit]: 11 (Average: 10)

[Favorability]: -20

Xu Hao clicked his tongue.

Another female lead appeared.

What puzzled him, however, was this:

It was understandable to be naturally antagonistic toward the protagonist.

But why did this female lead dislike him without even meeting him?

After a moment of thought, he understood.

Wang Xueying, as his daughters’ teacher, might have inquired about their family situation, leading to her negative opinion of him…

After parting ways with the two campus belles, Wang Xueying walked out of the school gate and stood at the entrance, glancing around.

She had received a call earlier saying a student wanted to meet her in person.

Her professional outfit couldn’t conceal her graceful and curvaceous figure.

Her long black hair was neatly tied back, her posture upright, and her crisp white shirt stretched taut.

With light and delicate makeup, her elegant features were accentuated—sharp brows, sculpted nose, and a commanding aura that evoked both admiration and a desire to conquer.

“Ms. Wang…”

A voice brimming with excitement called out nearby.

Turning her head, Wang Xueying saw a young man standing before her, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers.

“And you are…?”

Wang Xueying found his face vaguely familiar but couldn’t immediately recall his name.

“Ms. Wang, it’s me, Chen Mo…”

“Chen Mo?”

She suddenly remembered.

He was one of her students from a previous cohort.

Back then, his presence was hardly noticeable—average looks, mediocre academic performance, and an overall unremarkable figure in the class.

However, one incident had left an indelible impression of him.

Just before graduation, Chen Mo had been accused of assaulting a female classmate and was sentenced to prison.

At the time, she hadn’t believed it.

How could such an unassuming student commit such a crime on campus?

During the days of his trial, Wang Xueying, as his teacher, had gone to great lengths to help him.

Unfortunately, her efforts were in vain.

Chen Mo had still been sentenced to three years in prison.

“You’re out now? That’s right, three years have passed. Make sure to live well from now on.”

“Mm… Thank you, Ms. Wang, for all you did back then.”

Chen Mo’s eyes shone with gratitude.

As he looked at Wang Xueying, a strange feeling stirred within him.

If Xia Qingge was his “white moonlight,” Wang Xueying was his “vermillion mark.”

He recalled the days when Liu Fei had framed him…

Everyone else had assumed he was guilty, but this teacher had believed in his innocence.

She had run around seeking connections and even comforted him, urging him to stay strong.

Beautiful, kind, and gentle—what an extraordinary woman she was.

She was like a graceful swan, while he had been nothing more than a lowly toad who didn’t dare dream of her.

But now, things were different.

Chen Mo’s eyes grew resolute.

A woman like her—where could he find another if he let her slip away?

“You took care of me back then. From now on, I’ll protect you for the rest of your life. I won’t let anyone hurt you, not even a little…”
