Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Zhou Yanqian was in a good mood today, even though it was already 8 p.m.

He lay on the recliner at the shampoo bar, his dark eyes darting around, looking here and there. The two little ducks in his hands quacked as if providing background music, making him feel much lighter and finally free from his miserable fate.

As he washed up, he started humming little tunes and entertaining himself.

Zhou Linxu silently and carefully listened for a while. It sounded like the opening theme song of an animated film, but he couldn't quite remember which one.

Zan Zan has watched too much. Jin Xi said that after giving up the financial channel, he watched almost all the cartoons.

Occasionally, when they don't go out and are working overtime at the company, the photos Jinxi sends are all sorts of pictures of Zanzan with cartoon characters.

He rinsed the foam off Zan Zan's head with water. Zan Zan was looking at him upside down, somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "You didn't give me a massage today."

Xiao Xi usually massages his hair when she washes it, so why is this step skipped when she washes Zhou Linxu's hair?

Zhou Yanqian was very dissatisfied. He had already lay down to wash his hair, so he definitely needed a massage! If he didn't get a massage, he would just squat in the bathtub and wash his hair together.

After all, a massage really feels very comfortable.

Zhou Linxu couldn't help but poke his soft, round cheek: "President Zan, it seems you have a lot of demands."

Jinxi wasn't wrong at all; Zanzan is practically a mini-CEO now.

Currently, he and Jinxi are his only subordinates, but their attitudes are completely different.

There is one set of standards for Jinxi, and another set for him.

Zhou Yanqian retorted, "That's procedure!"

Xiao Xi took him outside to get his hair washed, and the shampoo doctor also gave him a massage.

The father and son had a small argument about whether or not to give each other a massage. In the end, Zhou Linxu gave in and gave Zan Zan a full five minutes of dry massage before he was finally satisfied.

Zhou Linxu gestured with his palm to indicate the length of his hair: "You should get a haircut, baby."

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," and then added, "Xiao Xi said she'll take me to get a haircut tomorrow."

Zhou Linxu didn't say anything more and dutifully dried his hair. Zhou Yanqian looked at himself in the mirror, who suddenly had a mushroom haircut, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Zhou Linxu didn't hear the sigh, but he watched the whole process of his face changing in the mirror.

What's wrong with that? Didn't he already do everything as required?

Zhou Linxu met Zan Zan's gaze in the mirror. He thought for only 0.5 seconds before lowering his eyes and looking away.

Sometimes, avoiding eye contact with children is a virtue.

Jinxi arrived at this time. She had already washed up and was wearing a face mask when she came down.

Hearing a slight noise, she walked towards the bathroom. The bathroom door was open, and Zan Zan was standing on the stool she usually used to brush her teeth, arms crossed, staring intently at the mirror.

Zhou Linxu was also wearing pajamas at the moment, and he was using a hairdryer to dry his hair.

Zan Zan's hair is quite thick and has grown quite long now, so it needs to be blow-dried carefully.

From her perspective, Zan Zan's hair looked like a bursting dandelion.

To be honest, the father and son looked almost identical at that moment, each seemingly harboring their own secret thoughts.

Jinxi leaned against the bathroom doorway, waiting for Zanzan's gaze to fall upon her before praising, "Hmm, baby looks like a cute mushroom. Does baby like to eat mushrooms?"

Zhou Yanqian originally wanted to complain about Zhou Linxu's perfunctory attitude, saying that when he was blown to dry, he would just say "blow dry" when he was blown to dry the child!

But after hearing Jinxi's words, her mind went blank for a moment before she replied, "I like it."

The last time they went to record a variety show together, Jinxi took him to eat mushroom hot pot, which was delicious. He drank a lot of soup and his stomach was full of water.

Zhou Linxu finished drying his hair, then ran his long, slender fingers over the little boy's head to make sure it wasn't wet before patting his little shoulder: "Alright, Zan Zan, sir."

Jinxi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "President Zhou, are you even using my form of address?"

Zhou Linxu shrugged slightly, with a hint of helplessness: "Because of how you address me, it's very appropriate."

Zhou Yanqian had already gotten off the bench, and just in time, a small tuft of hair stuck up on one side, making it look like he had two little devil ears.

When he walked up to her, Jinxi couldn't help but raise her hands and rub his two tufts of hair: "So cute! Tomorrow I'll ask Auntie to make mushrooms. Do you want to eat chicken stew with mushrooms? Pork ribs stew with green beans is also a famous dish, as well as sweet and sour pork and braised pork slices."

It's been so long since I've had Northeastern Chinese food, I'll make it for tomorrow!

Zhou Yanqian only felt two tufts of hair moving. When he looked up, he could only see Jin Xi's face with a face mask on, and he could hear her reciting the names of the dishes.

He replied, "Okay! I've never tried it before!"

Why didn't Zhou Linxu take him out to eat in his past life!

Jinxi was about to smile, but with a face mask still on, she kept her expression cold.

Zhou Yanqian pursed his lips, not understanding why she had to use a different face mask every night.

After rubbing his hair, Jinxi led him back to the bedroom; she had something else to do.

Tonight, I'll be building a new Lego set with Zan Zan for a while. We bought this Home series to put in the study, and we've only built a little bit of it in the last few days.

I don't have much to do tomorrow. Except for taking Zan Zan to get a haircut, I'll be at home the rest of the time. Today, I'm going to speed things up a bit. I'll work on a little more tonight and a little more during the day tomorrow, and try to finish as soon as possible.

While taking the things out, Zhou Linxu also tidied up the bathroom. When he came out of the bedroom, the two of them were already sitting cross-legged on the carpet, with a Lego set up on a small table in one corner.

Jinxi raised her head slightly and glanced at it, then nudged Zanzan's chubby arm with her elbow.

Zhou Yanqian was focused on something and was a little annoyed at being interrupted. Jin Xi said, "Your father is here."

Zhou Yanqian looked up at Zhou Linxu, and the father and son exchanged a glance. In the end, Zhou Yanqian patted the empty seat to his right and said, "Dad, come here."

After calling him "Dad" in the afternoon, the word "Dad" didn't seem so hard to say anymore.

Zhou Linxu walked over, but halfway there he couldn't help but wonder, why does Zhou Zanzan's tone sound so familiar?

He sat down next to Zan Zan and said, "Alright, everyone's here, you two get to work!"

Zhou Yanqian asked, "Aren't you going to give it your all?"

Jinxi pointed to her face, which was covered by a face mask: "You and Dad can work together! I believe you can do it!"

Jinxi clenched his fist and gave a thumbs-up to the father and son.

Zhou Yanqian snorted: "You're just lazy."

Jinxi just doesn't want to work hard!

Jinxi bent one leg, put her arm on it, and replied, "I've been with you long enough. Let your dad do what a good father should do."

Actually, she was intentionally trying to build a relationship between Zan Zan and Zhou Linxu. Children need both maternal and paternal love.

Besides, she could tell that Zhou Linxu actually wanted to spend more time with Zan Zan, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted on being a "bath attendant" every night, washing Zan Zan clean and fragrant.

Zhou Linxu might be a bit tongue-tied when talking to Zan Zan. Even when he means well, his words often come out stiffly.

But it's okay! With Jinxi's kindergarten teacher training, you'll learn as long as you put your heart into it! And Jinxi has seen Zhou Linxu's progress these past few days.

There was just a little awkwardness between the father and son, mainly stemming from little Zan Zan.

I've been reborn, reborn before I even received the "love for my idol" rating and five-star review. In my previous life, I shamelessly refrained from extending an olive branch to you all. In this life, I shamelessly winked at you, holding a rose in my mouth (my lips twitched slightly while holding the rose). Are you interested in giving me a five-star review? If necessary, I can do *that* (don't take this sentence too seriously ( •̀ .̫ •́ )✧)
