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

Upon hearing Jin Xi's words, Zhou Yanqian awkwardly replied with an "oh," "I'm a little thirsty."

Jinxi watched as his little head turned to the side, and she saw that it was a milk tea shop.

She pretended not to see, turned the handle, and secretly sped up a bit: "We'll be home soon, just bear with it, the fried chicken should be ready soon too."

Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, Zhou Yanqian was about to explain it more clearly when the electric scooter had already smoothly carried them away.

He opened his mouth, but only swallowed the spring breeze that came his way.

Zhou Yanqian was absolutely certain that she clearly understood what he meant, but was just pretending not to.

He pouted, clearly very unhappy, but Jinxi pretended not to notice. Ignoring children at certain times is a virtue!

They sped along, and Jinxi took Zanzan home.

Upon reaching the gate, Jinxi patted Zanzan's little shoulder: "Zanzan, go open the door for me quickly."

Zhou Yanqian jumped off the footstool, wearing his little yellow hat, and pushed open the courtyard gate. Then he turned around and asked, "Where are you going to put this?"

Jinxi said, "Let's put you in the backyard first. Aren't we going to take you to the night market tonight?"

As she spoke, she watched as Zan Zan opened the courtyard gate to its widest extent.

Just as Jinxi was about to drive in, she saw Zanzan come running back, naturally stepping onto her footrest, her soft waist resting against her leg, without saying a word.

Jin Xi laughed: "Is this an addiction?"

Zhou Yanqian then replied, "The door is already open!"

Jinxi said, "Okay, okay, stand still, let's go."

Hearing the noise, Butler Zhao came out of the house and was somewhat surprised to see Jinxi riding an electric scooter: "Madam, did you go shopping today?"

Jinxi pressed the brake: "Yes, I just bought it. It'll be closer to other places in the area in the future."

Then she lightly nudged Zan Zan with her leg: "Get off, we've arrived."

Zhou Yanqian didn't move: "I'll go with you to the backyard."

Jinxi had no choice but to say to Butler Zhao, "I'll go put the car away first."

Butler Zhao looked at Zan Zan leaning against Jin Xi and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Yes, Madam."

It seems that the young master has completely accepted his stepmother.

Jinxi parked in a shady spot in the backyard. It's only because of the weather that I dare to leave it like this. Once it gets warmer, I'll have to drive it directly to the garage.

Zhou Yanqian got off the car with satisfaction, but Xiao Xi had no idea that they had only just arrived at their destination!

Jinxi took off her helmet and looked at Zanzan beside her: "Can you take it off? If you can, take it off yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqian raised his arms, trying to remove the helmet from his head, but he was clumsy and failed to remove it after several attempts.

Jinxi put her helmet down: "Come here, I'll get it for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqian immediately gave up on doing it himself, took two steps towards Jinxi, and a few seconds later, Jinxi took off his little yellow hat and stuffed it into his arms: "Hold it yourself, and we'll put the stickers on later."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh," then obediently picked up the stickers and went into the house with Jinxi.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he smelled a sweet fragrance.

Jin Xi sighed, "Looks like fried chicken is the way to go."

She originally wanted to order takeout, but she was worried that the takeout might not be clean, so she asked Housekeeper Zhao. Housekeeper Zhao said that the aunt would cook it, so she felt relieved.

Healthy and delicious fried chicken, you can make it at home!

Is the fried chicken ready?

Zhou Yanqian puffed out his cheeks and said, "But it's different from the ones in the store."

"It's exactly the same," Jinxi said. "You'll see when you eat it. I also asked my aunt to make some plum juice, and I'll add some lemon for you later. It's exactly the same as what you buy outside."

Zhou Yanqian was skeptical, but after seeing the beautifully plated fried chicken on the table, his stomach started growling. Although he had eaten breakfast and a lot of seafood in the morning, it was still tiring to spend the whole morning playing with Jinxi.

"Put your things away properly and wash your hands before you eat." Jinxi pinched his soft nape. "You look so hungry, Zan Zan, are you a little glutton?"

Zhou Yanqian declared righteously, "I am a human being!"

Jinxi laughed heartily: "Alright, put your things away and go quickly."

She wasn't very hungry right now, since she had eaten breakfast late. Today at noon, she not only had the fried chicken that Zan Zan wanted, but also the spicy chicken noodles that Jin Xi liked!

My stomach, which wasn't hungry before, started to betray me at this moment!

Jinxi thought to herself, "Luckily, I exercise every day. Otherwise, if I eat like this in such a hurry, I would gain more than ten pounds."

The housekeeper at home is just perfect for her!

Jinxi washed her hands and sat down at the dining table, where gloves were already provided. Zhou Yanqian had already put on his own gloves. She then took a sip of lemon plum juice. Butler Zhao only put one or two ice cubes in her bowl, which was practically just to appease her child.

He asked for more ice, but Jinxi vetoed it outright.

Jinxi really doesn't understand children at all!

Jinxi, who was criticized by Zanzan for not understanding children, picked up a golden-fried chicken nugget and asked, "What kind of sauce do you want to dip it in? We have sweet chili sauce, ketchup, honey mustard, and chili powder."

Zhou Yanqian looked around: "It's honey."

He's tried ketchup before, but never honey ketchup!

Jinxi dipped it in honey mustard sauce: "Eat it, it's perfect to eat now."

Zhou Yanqian took a bite of the chicken nugget. It was incredibly crispy and juicy, and the unique aroma of honey mustard made him feel like he had just added another delicious dish to his culinary repertoire.

Jinxi also dipped herself in some, and seeing how much she liked it, asked, "Is it delicious, baby?"

Zhou Yanqian nodded: "Delicious (╹ڡ╹)!"

Absolutely delicious! No wonder so many people love fried chicken!

Because it was homemade, the aunt cut the chicken pieces into smaller pieces to accommodate little Zan Zan, who could finish it in just two bites.

Jinxi placed the ketchup and honey mustard closer together: "Put it on yourself. Use as much sauce as you like. Self-reliance is the best policy!"

She's going to try her delicious sizzling chicken noodles too!

Zhou Yanqian looked at the bright red noodles in her bowl: "I'll try some too."

"Why don't you try some?" Jinxi refused without hesitation. "It's super spicy, even I find it spicy. You can eat it when you're older."

Zhou Yanqian didn't believe him. He said, "I'll just eat one."

This noodle smells sweet, so it's not too spicy.

Jinxi understands children's psychology; what they can't have always seems more desirable.

She picked up a small piece with her chopsticks, about the length of a finger joint: "Eat it."

Zhou Yanqian thought to himself, "Who do they think they are!"

He opened his mouth and ate the small piece of noodles directly. The first taste was sweet, followed by a volcanic eruption in his mouth.

Jinxi had been watching his reaction closely. Seeing that Zanzan's face had turned red, she quickly grabbed a tissue: "Open your mouth, spit it out quickly."

Zhou Yanqian felt like his eyes were seeing stars. What was going on? Wasn't he a master at eating spicy food?

He heard Jinxi tell him to spit it out, and he instinctively swallowed it.

Once it's in your mouth, there's no reason to spit it out.

Jinxi wanted to laugh but also felt a little immoral, so she simply wiped his watery eyes and mouth with a tissue and then gave him some plum juice.

Zhou Yanqian gulped down a big mouthful, but it only provided a slight relief. Jin Xi dipped a fried chicken nugget in a thick layer of honey mustard sauce for him: "Take a bite, chew slowly."

Zhou Yanqian blinked, took a big scoop of fried chicken nuggets coated in sauce, and squeezed out the taste of honey mustard sauce and spicy chicken noodles. After chewing for a while, his mouth finally felt a little better.

Jinxi also breathed a sigh of relief. She should have let him try the turkey sauce. She shouldn't spoil the child too much next time.

She grabbed another tissue and wiped away his tears.

Zhou Yanqian mumbled through a mouthful of fried chicken, "I didn't cry."

"Mmm," Jinxi said, "You didn't cry."

It was as if the tears were flowing from my eyes because of the spiciness.

Jinxi stayed with him for a while, and seeing that he had recovered, she asked, "Does your stomach hurt?"

Zhou Yanqian shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."

Jinxi said, "Okay, remember to tell me when it hurts."

Zhou Yanqian asked, "If I tell you, will it stop hurting?"

"No, not at all." Jinxi said seriously, "I'm going to record it and show it to you when you grow up, showing you the consequences of being stubborn."

Zhou Yanqian: ...
