Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 119

Chapter 119

..

After a Late-Night Chat with Her Best Friend—

Li Yunshu’s heart pounded wildly.

She couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.

She glanced resentfully at her best friend, who was sleeping soundly.

Xia Qingge, seriously?

Why would she say such ambiguous things in front of her, a single young woman?

And she spoke so convincingly, making it feel real.

She couldn’t help but think of Uncle Xu.

Li Yunshu, used to waking up early, checked the time and smacked her forehead.

She had momentarily forgotten she wasn’t at home.

Back home, she had to wake up early because of the long commute.

Now that she lived close to the company, she could afford to sleep in a little.

She glanced to the side—Xia Qingge was still fast asleep.

Li Yunshu lay back down, but sleep wouldn’t come.

Frustrated, she got up to wash up.

By the time she finished, it was almost time to leave.

Noticing that Xia Qingge was still asleep, she walked over to the bed and gave her a nudge.

“Qingge, wake up. Time for work.”

Xia Qingge groggily swatted her hand away, turned over, and mumbled:

“Uncle isn’t coming anymore... I can’t take it... Please, spare me...”

Li Yunshu’s hand froze in midair.

Her pupils dilated.

She was completely stunned.

Her mind buzzed.

Oh my god, what did she just hear?

Uncle?

Which uncle?

Who else could it be besides Uncle Xu?

What kind of dream was her best friend having?

She knew Xia Qingge admired Uncle Xu a lot.

Whenever she had the chance, she would go on about how amazing he was.

Just last night, she was praising Uncle Xu’s strength—

Eight-pack abs, lasting all night...

So all of that was just fuel for her dreams?

Li Yunshu assumed her best friend was simply dreaming and didn’t think too much of it.

After all, the age gap between them was too wide.

Xu Hao had a family and deeply loved his wife.

She felt there was no way anything could happen between them.

Still, it was shocking.

They say you dream about what you think about during the day.

If she dreamed about doing things with Uncle Xu...

That meant she had definitely thought about it while awake.

Could her best friend really want something to happen with Uncle Xu?

Li Yunshu’s expression shifted.

How was she supposed to convince Xia Qingge to give up on this unrealistic idea?

This one-sided crush was going nowhere.

Interfering with Uncle Xu’s family would only cause trouble.

Just as Li Yunshu was struggling with what to do, Xia Qingge let out a sleepy murmur.

Her eyelids fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

“Yunshu? Why are you up so early?”

Xia Qingge yawned and stretched,

then looked at Li Yunshu, who stood by the bed with an unreadable expression.

Confused, she asked,

“What’s wrong? Why are you zoning out?”

Li Yunshu snapped back to reality.

She decided she needed to have a serious talk with her best friend.

Uncle Xu had helped her a lot and treated her very well.

She didn’t want Xia Qingge’s involvement to mess up his life.

So, she sat down on the bed.

“Qingge, did you have a dream just now?”

“A dream?”

Xia Qingge blinked in confusion.

“No, my sleep quality is great. I hardly ever dream.”

And that was true.

Ever since taking the cleansing pill Xu Hao gave her,

she had never felt healthier. Her sleep was deep and restful.

She never dreamed anymore.

She woke up every morning feeling refreshed.

But Li Yunshu didn’t believe her at all.

She thought her best friend was just embarrassed to admit it.

After all… it was that kind of dream.

“Come on, you don’t have to hide it from me. We’re best friends—

what’s there to be embarrassed about?”

“I promise I won’t tell anyone or make fun of you.”

Xia Qingge looked even more confused.

“What are you even talking about?”

Li Yunshu rolled her eyes.

“Still denying it? I heard what you said in your sleep.”

“What did I say?”

Xia Qingge was now genuinely curious.

She didn’t even have a dream—how could she have talked in her sleep?

Seeing that her friend still wouldn’t admit it, Li Yunshu grew frustrated.

Then, she had a realization.

Most people forget their dreams as soon as they wake up.

Maybe that’s what happened to Xia Qingge.

But still… something didn’t add up.

Based on what she said, the dream must have lasted a while.

She even begged for mercy in the end.

How could she have no memory of it at all?

Her friend looked completely clueless, so she figured she should give her a reminder.

“You said... ‘Uncle—'”

As soon as she said the first word,

Li Yunshu’s face flushed red.

She stammered, struggling to finish.

“Go on. What did I say?”

Xia Qingge urged her.

Li Yunshu clenched her teeth and forced herself to say it.

“‘Uncle isn’t coming anymore... I can’t take it... Please, spare me…’”

Xia Qingge froze.

Then, her face turned red too.

She hadn’t been dreaming at all.

She knew that wasn’t sleep talk—

it was just a habit.

Every time she was with Xu Hao,

she would say that exact line.

Seeing her blush, Li Yunshu huffed.

“Now you remember, huh?”

Xia Qingge hesitated before replying,

“Well, um… I still want to say—I really wasn’t dreaming.”

“I literally repeated your sleep talk word for word, and you’re still denying it?”

Li Yunshu was exasperated. She waved her hand dismissively.

“Fine, fine. I won’t ask about the dream anymore.

Just answer me honestly—do you want something to happen with Uncle Xu?”

“I don’t! I didn’t! Stop making things up!”

Xia Qingge denied it three times in a row.

“Oh, really?”

“Then how do you explain that sleep talk?”

Li Yunshu sneered.

Gradually, her tone softened, and she spoke earnestly.

“Qingge, I know you admire Uncle Xu. I do too.”

“But… feelings shouldn’t change like this. The age gap between you and Uncle Xu is too big—people won’t accept it.”

“Besides, he has a family. If you force your way in, you’ll disrupt his life.”

Xia Qingge listened intently.

She blinked a few times after her friend finished speaking.

“Then… I just won’t let anyone know. And I won’t disturb his life. Wouldn’t that solve everything?”

“??????”

Li Yunshu was stunned.

So, Qingge wanted to keep her relationship with Uncle Xu a secret?

Stay quietly by his side without interfering in his life?

She stared blankly and muttered,

“Then wouldn’t you be…”

“A mistress, right?”

Xia Qingge finished for her.

She then spoke in a knowing tone, as if she had seen through everything.

“Why do you care about what others think? Are other people’s opinions really that important?”

“If I can be with the person I like, I don’t care at all.”

Li Yunshu stared at her best friend, momentarily speechless.

Xia Qingge had a point.

Should someone give up on love just because of how others see it?

Being with someone you don’t like… now that would be real torture.

Li Yunshu racked her brain, trying to find a counterargument.

Finally, she thought of one.

“This is just a one-sided crush. It won’t lead anywhere. Uncle Xu loves his wife deeply—he would never agree to this.”

“What if he does?”

Xia Qingge locked eyes with her.

“Impossible.”

Li Yunshu trusted Xu Hao’s character completely.

“Alright, alright. I was just messing with you. Of course, Uncle Xu wouldn’t be with me.”

Xia Qingge was still planting the idea in her best friend’s head.

But seeing how anxious Li Yunshu was getting, she changed her tune.

Even so, Li Yunshu remained skeptical.

Xia Qingge got up, washed up, and got dressed. Then the two headed to work together.

Li Yunshu settled into her own workspace, reviewed her tasks for the day, and got to work.

She stayed busy until noon.

Stretching her arms, she picked up her phone to take a short break.

As soon as she unlocked it, a series of notifications popped up.

Her class group chat had exploded—

99+ messages.

Curious, she tapped in to check.

It turned out they were organizing a class reunion.

Everyone was expected to attend.

Most of her classmates had already agreed.

Then, someone @mentioned her.

“@Li Yunshu, School Beauty Li, everyone else has agreed to come. You’re the only one left.”

“6 PM, Westin Hotel entrance. See you there.”

Was Li Yunshu going?

Of course not.

She never got along with these classmates in college.

For four years, she barely interacted with them.

In fact, she was often bullied by Xu Fangfei and her group.

So why should she go?

It’d be a total waste of time.

She’d rather stay home and cook a nice meal with Xia Qingge.

Just as she was about to decline, another message popped up.

It was from Wu Lili, one of the girls from Xu Fangfei’s clique.

She had been part of the group that used to bully her in school.

The message was short:

“Don’t forget about the class reunion tonight.”

Li Yunshu quickly typed a reply.

“Sorry, I have something going on at home. I won’t be able to make it. You all have fun.”

Wu Lili responded almost instantly.

“Wow, School Beauty Li is really acting high and mighty now. So, after graduation, you think you’re too good for us?”

Li Yunshu had long since grown immune to this kind of passive-aggressive nonsense.

She didn’t care.

She simply replied,

“I really do have plans. Sorry.”

Then, another message came in with a ding.

“I heard from Fangfei that you got into the Xu Group? No wonder you’re acting all superior.”

“But do you really think Xu Group is that impressive? There are plenty of companies bigger than it. It’s just an average, maybe even a failing company. What are you so proud of?”

“Oh, or maybe you actually know Xu Group isn’t that great, and that’s why you’re afraid to show up—because you don’t want us to laugh at you? Hahaha…”

Li Yunshu’s eyebrows twitched.

She knew Wu Lili was trying to provoke her.

Still, she couldn’t help feeling angry.

Sure, there were companies bigger than Xu Group,

but the company culture was great.

And most importantly—

Uncle Xu, the CEO, valued her highly.

She wouldn’t let anyone disrespect that.

It was just a class reunion.

What was there to be afraid of?

“Fine, I’ll go. Who’s scared of who?”

—

In a secluded alley, a luxury Porsche rocked slightly before coming to a stop.

Inside the car, a girl with a sweaty forehead picked up her phone.

It was Wu Lili, who had just been mocking Li Yunshu in the chat.

She sent a message.

Attached was a screenshot of Li Yunshu agreeing to attend the reunion.

Xu Fangfei’s lips curled into a smile as she showed it to the man beside her.

“Dad, it’s done.”

Xu Hao patted her head.

“Good job. Keep it up.”

Hearing the double meaning in his words, Xu Fangfei shot him a flirtatious glance.

6 PM – Westin Hotel

A group of fresh graduates gathered outside, their eyes still filled with the naivety and foolishness of youth.

The class had 40 students.

Thirty-eight had arrived.

The two missing ones?

Class beauty Xu Fangfei and school beauty Li Yunshu.

Ye Tao, the class president and organizer of the reunion, was busy greeting everyone.

The private dining room had already been reserved.

They were just waiting for everyone to arrive before heading in.

Ye Tao came from a wealthy family, just like Xu Fangfei.

Calling him the organizer wasn’t exactly accurate—this whole event was Xu Fangfei’s idea.

She only said two things.

“Ye Tao, organize a class reunion.”

“I’ll make sure Li Yunshu shows up.”

And Ye Tao jumped at the chance.

After all, he had always been Li Yunshu’s devoted admirer.

Ye Tao wasn’t just the class president; he had good grades and a decent face.

He was active in school clubs, won scholarships, and was popular with many female classmates.

Xu Fangfei, the most outstanding girl in their class and even well-known throughout the school, never interested him.

Until Li Yunshu transferred in.

Her stunning looks, perfect figure, and calm, elegant demeanor captivated him instantly.

He saw her as a rare treasure.

From then on, he became her loyal follower.

But Li Yunshu only cared about her studies.

She ignored all suitors and rejected every confession.

Even after graduation, Ye Tao couldn’t let go.

So when Xu Fangfei promised she could get Li Yunshu to attend, he immediately agreed to host the reunion.

The classmates mingled, catching up on their post-graduation lives.

“Where are you working now?”

“How much are you making?”

The conversation carried a hint of competitiveness.

Inevitably, they began discussing the two missing classmates.

“What’s taking them so long? Making the whole class wait for them—how shameless.”

A fashionable girl with a pretty face stepped forward to defend Xu Fangfei.

“Fangfei told me she ran into something and might be late. But she’ll definitely be here.”

It was Wu Lili—the same one who provoked Li Yunshu into coming.

She glanced around, then sneered,

“Fangfei has a reason. But what about Li Yunshu? What’s her excuse for being late?”

“I guess being a school beauty means she has to make a grand entrance, huh?”

Her little group of friends chimed in.

“Exactly! She always acts so cold, like she’s better than everyone else.”

“She’s so pretentious. She barely even looks at people when she talks to them.”

“She was always just about studying, taking all the scholarships but never socializing. No personality at all.”

“Honestly, I think she’s just messed up in the head.”

During college, Li Yunshu had buried herself in studies to meet her parents’ expectations, neglecting social connections.

As a result, she never fit in.

Despite her beauty, she wasn’t well-liked.

Hearing her classmates gossip, more people joined in.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

A cool voice cut through the conversation.

Shh...

Everyone turned toward the entrance.

Li Yunshu had arrived.

Awkward silence filled the air.

They had been so engrossed in badmouthing her that they didn’t notice her arrival.

One by one, they shut their mouths.

Li Yunshu pressed her lips together.

She had expected something like this.

It was why she didn’t want to come in the first place.

And yet, the first thing she heard when she arrived…

Was them talking behind her back.

Not long after, a luxury Porsche rolled up, stopping in front of the group.

Dressed stylishly, her makeup carefully applied, Xu Fangfei stepped out.

The real plan was about to begin.
