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

We entered the banquet hall.

Jinxi had expected to see a grand spectacle she had never witnessed before, but upon entering, she found herself in an ordinary banquet hall. The only difference was that the long tables were laden with exquisite pastries and drinks, and further ahead was where everyone would be seated.

Jinxi roughly counted, and there were a total of twenty seats, with each seat labeled with the name of the person and their family member.

Zhou Linxu's name was in the first row.

Before Jinxi could even speak to Zanzan, an acquaintance of Zhou Linxu came over to greet her.

She had no choice but to hold Zan Zan's hand and greet Zhou Linxu and the others.

Zhou Yanqian looked up at the other person and sighed, "I don't recognize him."

It turns out that coming here when I was a kid was so boring (￣、￣), it was much more fun when I was older.

Zhou Yanqian thought about it and realized that this was probably related to power!

Sigh, I wish I could turn 18 with a single click.

After thinking for a while, he realized he couldn't possibly be eighteen years old, so he tugged at Xiaoxi's hand.

Jinxi lowered her head and asked, "What's wrong, baby?"

"Let's go get some juice." Zhou Yanqian pointed to the exquisite cake on the table. He had never tried it before and wanted to.

Jinxi also glanced at it, and while the acquaintances were leaving, she whispered something to Zhou Linxu.

Zhou Linxu nodded, knowing that the two of them felt uncomfortable accompanying him to the social event: "You two can just go and sit down in a bit. I'll come over after I've said my goodbyes."

This kind of private auction is less formal and has fewer people, so Zhou Linxu felt more at ease.

Jinxi then squeezed Zanzan's little hand: "Let's go play, baby."

Zhou Yanqian glanced at Zhou Linxu, then turned and led Xiao Xi to the dessert area without looking back.

He carefully selected a strawberry mille-feuille and a glass of orange juice, both of which were his favorite flavors.

Taking food to the auction area felt a bit too conspicuous, so Jinxi just glanced at the location and then took Zanzan to sit in a corner.

Jinxi sat slightly to the side, holding a juice in one hand and a cake in the other, while Zanzan only needed to hold a spoon and scoop out a big bite of the mille-feuille cake.

Zhou Yanqian swallowed hard, unable to resist the urge to eat. He hadn't had a small cake in a long time; the last time he ate one was eight days ago!

Jinxi is now controlling how often he eats snacks, especially milk tea and small cakes; sometimes he can only eat them if he behaves well.

Although Zhou Yanqian himself didn't know when he was performing well.

But today was different! He ate a lot of delicious little cakes he'd never tried before, and he ate to his heart's content!

Jinxi looked at Zanzan's shining eyes and chuckled softly: "Big glutton Zanzan."

How can this picture of a mouse falling into a rice jar be so funny?

Zhou Yanqian pursed his lips, ignoring Jin Xi's cricket attack.

Instead, she stretched out her arm and brought the first bite of strawberry mille-feuille to Jinxi's lips.

Jinxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and ate the cake without hesitation: "Thank you, baby. As expected of the delicious mille-feuille you carefully chose, the taste is just different."

Zhou Yanqian said smugly, "Of course!"

He also scooped up a bite of cake and happily put it into his own abyssal mouth.

The next second, he felt the creamy filling melt in his mouth, and there were also strawberry pieces to chew on.

It's already the end of April, how can the strawberries still be so sweet?

Oh my, it's so delicious! ( •̀ ω •́ )y!

Seeing how much he enjoyed the food and couldn't help but cross his legs, Jinxi asked, "You like it that much?"

Zhou Yanqian replied modestly, "It's alright!"

It seems Zhou Linxu was right after all. What a silly baby, not even knowing to hold his little feet down when he lies.

Jinxi looked at his still dangling legs and didn't call him out on it.

Zhou Yanqian didn't realize that his true nature, hidden beneath his reserved demeanor, had been clearly seen through by Jin Xi. He said, "Orange juice~"

Jinxi dutifully placed the straw near his mouth, allowing him to take a satisfying big gulp.

The only downside is that the orange juice isn't iced!

What a pity, what a pity!

While praising someone for eating so heartily, Jinxi wasn't idle either; her eyes were also looking around.

When they came in, there were quite a few people at the banquet, but now there are many more. Everyone is socializing, and quite a few families have brought their children.

Jinxi even saw an acquaintance, Su Yan, who was recording a reality show about raising children with her!

"Su Yan!" Jin Xi called out with a smile.

Su Yan was just about to find a place to sit down and rest when she heard someone call her name. She turned her head and saw a smile appear on her usually calm face.

She lifted her skirt and walked towards Jinxi: "What a coincidence, you're here too."

Jinxi shifted her position: "Let's sit and chat."

After Su Yan sat down, she smiled and said, "Good evening, Zan Zan."

Zhou Yanqian also remembered this person, and he hummed in a muffled voice, "Good evening, Aunt Su Yan."

Su Yan said to Jin Xi, "It's been a short time since I last saw Zan Zan, and he seems to have grown a bit taller."

"Really? I see it every day and I don't notice it." Jinxi glanced at Zanzan again and found that he was still eating his cake seriously, oblivious to everything else.

She looked away and asked, "How have you been lately?"

The two of them would occasionally interact on social media, but they didn't chat much privately after they came back.

Su Yan said, "You're preparing for your new album. What about you? Your WeChat Moments posts look like you're doing renovations. Did you move to a new house?"

"It's for shop renovations," Jinxi said with a smile. "I'm planning to open a martial arts interest class."

"Sure, when will it open?" Su Yan asked, intrigued. "Where is it located?"

"It's right in the city center." Jin Xi gave a general idea of ​​the location: "I plan to open in July, which will be perfect for summer vacation, and the kids will be on holiday too."

The renovation of a martial arts hobby class is not as troublesome as that of other shops. It can be completed by mid-May. Then, equipment can be purchased and ventilation can be carried out gradually, and there will be plenty of time until July.

"Sure, I'll send Tiantian over too." Su Yan said with emotion, "You have no idea, after you and Zanzan didn't record, they kept asking why Zanzan didn't go, they kept talking about it."

Jinxi nodded and said, "Please thank Tiantian for her concern. We can come over to play together during the summer vacation. Zanzan might even be their little teacher."

Don't let Zan Zan's current suit fool you; he's actually a very agile kid. He practices basic skills with Jin Xi every few days, and his strength has increased considerably.

"That's great! I'll tell him the good news when I get home tonight."

The two chatted for a while, and just then, another figure approached them.

Zhou Yanqian sipped his spoon and looked up. After seeing who it was, he narrowed his eyes.

How come I could run into Jin Yun, who makes me so unhappy, at an auction?

You just can't shake them off!
