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

Jinxi gently pinched the back of his neck to bring him back to his senses.

Zhou Yanqian puffed out his cheeks and searched for a long time with the puzzle piece, but he couldn't find where it was.

In the end, Zhou Linxu held his little hand and perfectly placed the puzzle piece in its place: "You're amazing."

As Zhou Yanqian looked at the completed little house, while he and Jin Xi were talking, Zhou Linxu had already silently finished assembling the house. The piece he had been holding in his hand was actually the roof piece.

He unconsciously touched the other puzzle pieces with his fingers. How could he put them together so quickly? He wasn't even sleepy yet.

Jinxi noticed his hesitation and asked, "What are you thinking about, baby?"

Zhou Yanqian's round eyes turned to her, and he finally stammered, "I'm not sleepy..."

Jinxi rested her chin on her hand and looked at him with a smile.

Zhou Yanqian took a deep breath before continuing in a muffled voice, "We can still keep fighting."

"Sure," Jinxi readily agreed, "Let's piece this pavilion together too."

Looking at the two figures, one big and one small, Zhou Linxu noticed that Zanzan was much more relaxed after Jinxi agreed. He then said, "Let's put this car back together."

"Let Dad carpool, and we'll carpool the pavilion together, that'll isolate him." Jinxi asked, "Who told him to carpool the house instead of us? What do you say?"

"Okay!" Zhou Yanqian readily agreed to betray his father.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Linxu couldn't help but pinch the soft flesh on the back of his neck: "You unfilial son."

But his unfilial son Zan Zan pretended not to hear, and even moved his buttocks closer to Jin Xi, and even bumped into her.

The three of them were sitting around a small table. Jinxi was propped up on one leg when he was bumped, and his body fell to the side.

Zhou Yanqian was startled and stared at Jin Xi with wide eyes.

Jinxi reacted quickly, and with one hand already ready to brace herself, she was pulled back by another force. The whole thing only took a few seconds.

She blinked and looked down; a large hand was holding her arm.

His long, slender fingers seemingly casually encircled her arm, but in reality, they were strong enough to pull her up.

Jin Xi raised her head and looked at Zhou Linxu. His expression didn't change much, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes as he looked at her.

Their eyes met for only a few seconds before Zhou Linxu politely released his hand. Jin Xi also came to her senses and looked down, meeting Zan Zan's gaze, who was looking up at her expectantly.

Jinxi raised her hand and tapped Zanzan's forehead twice with her fingertips: "Zanzan has used her ultimate move, the gas canister attack."

Zhou Yanqian immediately understood that this was a sarcastic remark directed at him!

Where did he find the gas cylinder?

But it was definitely his fault just now. He didn't control his strength well, so... oh dear?

Before Zhou Yanqian could finish thinking, he uncontrollably fell backward and ended up innocently falling into Zhou Linxu's arms.

He blinked at his father, then looked across at Jinxi, who had a mischievous grin on his face.

Jinxi noticed him looking at her and said matter-of-factly, "Alright, we're even."

Zhou Linxu also pinched his cheek: "Want to sleep?"

Who wants to sleep?

Zhou Yanqian immediately got up and accused him, "You have no sportsmanship!"

Jin Xi said, "You didn't talk about martial ethics when you attacked me just now."

Zhou Yanqian's ears turned red. He hadn't attacked Jin Xi at all! Didn't she say she wanted to share the pavilion with him? He had only sat a little closer and accidentally bumped into her!

Jinxi cupped Zanzan's chin in her hands: "Zanzan, you're such a silly little ox, but you're so smart. You actually know what it means to be impolite, and you even used it correctly. Zhou Linxu, your son really seems to be a genius."

Zhou Yanqian secretly swallowed back the words he wanted to say in rebuttal.

When faced with a difficult problem, it's better for him to play dumb.

Zhou Linxu patted Zan Zan's soft head and said, "Hmm, he's a little genius."

"Then it's definitely better if I buy the watch myself," Jinxi said instinctively.

Zhou Linxu looked at Jin Xi: "Hmm? Why? What does it have to do with the watch?"

"Because I bought a Little Genius watch," Jinxi said, laughing as she finished speaking.

Zhou Linxu took a moment to process Jin Xi's meaning, and his brows relaxed. He said, "You're quite right."

Zhou Yanqian: ...

Could you two please refrain from touching his head while you're chatting?

Zhou Yanqian felt like he was a toy to these two. Even though they were talking, he was the one being touched on the face, head, ears, and neck.

Zhou Yanqian propped his head up: "Why are you messing with my head while you're talking?!"

The two adults seemed to wake up from a dream. Zhou Linxu withdrew his hand and went to share a ride. Jin Xi chuckled twice and put his arm around his thin shoulders: "We've been chatting and you've forgotten about me, haven't you? I'll chat with you too."

"No!" Zhou Yanqian pushed away her arm that was wrapped around him. "I'm going to do the puzzle! You all need to focus on the puzzle!"

The children's room is not a place for the two of them to flirt, nor is it a toy for them to flirt with!

Jinxi exclaimed a few times, then wrapped her arm around his: "Come on, come on, I'll help you put it together."

Zhou Yanqian was still not satisfied and muttered something, but Jinxi pinched his little mouth shut: "Okay, baby, let's hurry up and finish the puzzle, then we'll go to sleep."

Zhou Linxu couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Jinxi pinching Zanzan's little mouth.

It's like having two kids in the house.

The little incident passed quickly, and the three of them soon put the pavilion and the car back together. Jinxi glanced at the time on her phone and saw that it was almost nine o'clock.

The timing is just right.

Zhou Linxu tidied up the desk and said, "You can go upstairs now. I'm going to put Zanzan to bed."

Jinxi stretched and said, "Okay, I'll take him to wash his hands."

She got up from the carpet, reached out and picked Zan Zan up: "Didn't you brush your teeth, Zan Zan?"

Zhou Yanqian opened his mouth, revealing his two rows of delicate, small teeth: "I brushed them."

He brushed his teeth before he took a shower, and Jinxi is only asking now!

"Great job, Zan Zan! Good kids should be hygienic," Jin Xi said. "When do you want to get your hair cut tomorrow? Morning or afternoon?"

Zhou Yanqian thought for a moment and said, "Let's do the puzzle in the morning. We can do it when we get back."

"Okay." Jinxi turned her head to look at Zhou Linxu, who was still tidying up the puzzle, and whispered, "If you behave well today, I'll treat you to fried chicken tomorrow."

Zhou Yanqian's eyes lit up instantly: "Fried chicken?"

He had seen it when he was shopping, but he always saw it after he had eaten, and had never tried it.

Jinxi nodded and said, "Yes, so you have to listen to Daddy tonight and sleep well, okay?"

Zhou Yanqian yawned. He hadn't felt sleepy just now, but now that he guessed it was time, sleepiness came on its own.

He wrapped his chubby arms around her neck, buried his face in the crook of her shoulder, and was about to agree when he remembered something: "But you promised to treat me to barbecue and milk tea tomorrow."

Don't even think about denying it!

Hearing that soft voice, Jinxi's heart skipped a beat. What an adorable little thing!

She rubbed her cheek against Zan Zan's little face and said, "We'll go out together as a family when your dad has time off this weekend."

"Okay." Zhou Yanqian belatedly realized what Jin Xi had just done.

Fine, for the sake of the fried chicken, let her be.
