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

The next day.

Jinxi got up on time as usual, and went downstairs after washing up.

She originally wanted to go upstairs to check on Zan Zan, but her hand hesitated when she touched the second button, and in the end she pressed the first floor button instead.

Zhou Linxu was sleeping in Zanzan's room, and it was somewhat presumptuous of me to go there in the morning.

She should wait downstairs for a bit; Zhou Linxu will probably be down soon.

Unexpectedly, the elevator stopped steadily on the second floor. Jinxi looked up and saw Zhou Linxu standing outside the door.

He saw that Jinxi only paused slightly before stepping in and asking, "So early? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

He must have just woken up; his voice was still a bit low and hoarse, which gave it a unique charm.

Jinxi replied, "I'm used to it. What about you? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

In comparison, Zhou Linxu was much more tired than her.

The elevator quickly reached the first floor, and the two of them went together.

Zhou Linxu replied, "I'm used to it."

His usual schedule is 6:30, but it's already 7:30 today, meaning he's slept an hour longer than usual.

Hearing his identical answer, Jinxi chuckled and asked, "How about Zanzan Little Pig?"

"It's all better now," Zhou Linxu said with a sigh.

Jinxi asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"He's such a restless sleeper." Zhou Linxu thought of Zan Zan's carefree sleeping posture last night: "I don't know how he fell asleep, but in the middle of the night he ended up sleeping on top of me."

He initially thought the girl was unwell after waking up, but when he turned on the nightlight, he found her fast asleep, even drooling all over his neck because she was sleeping on top of him.

What a naughty brat, he can't even sleep peacefully.

Zhou Linxu felt somewhat helpless when he thought about it: "It was like doing some kind of gymnastics all night."

In the end, having no other choice, I could only hold him tightly in my arms before I could finally get a good night's sleep.

Jinxi couldn't help but laugh, but after thinking for a moment, she said, "He's probably still a little uncomfortable, but he just can't sleep still."

Luckily, the fence was very secure, otherwise no one would have known if Zan Zan had slept on the ground.

Jinxi thought to herself, "Three years old is still too young to sleep in a separate bed."

She went online and found that most children start sleeping in separate beds at four or five years old, and some start at six or seven, which is all normal.

If her calculations are correct, Zan Zan should have been forced to sleep in a separate room as soon as he turned three, no wonder he hadn't slept at night for so long.

The security camera in his room had already been removed when Zhou Linxu moved in. To be honest, that camera was just for show; she had asked the housekeeper before, and they usually didn't check it.

At first, Butler Zhao would check on them, but Zan Zan would always be sleeping peacefully and there was nothing unusual about him, so he stopped checking on them after a while.

Naturally, no one expected that a little kid like Zan Zan would fall asleep in fear in the pitch-black children's room. If Jin Xi hadn't wanted to learn more about Zan Zan at that time, she wouldn't have found out.

Zhou Linxu wasn't away on business and slept with him almost every night, which should have made Zan Zan feel very safe.

Jinxi said, "I see that you two, father and son, have been getting along very well lately, which is great."

Zhou Linxu naturally hadn't forgotten Zan Zan's attitude towards him when he first returned from his business trip, and he sighed slightly, "Yeah, I really did neglect him."

Zhou Linxu was also helpless. In fact, he had been very busy ever since he brought Zanzan back. At that time, Zanzan only clung to him. When he saw that he was not around, she would cry softly, her whole face turning red from crying.

There was no other way but to bring Zan Zan to work with me at first. But how can a child's schedule be compared to an adult's?

Seeing Zan Zan lying on his shoulder, looking sleepy, he felt a little bad, but there was nothing he could do.

When Old Master Zhou passed away, there was a fierce internal struggle within the company. If he had been careless, he could have been kicked out of the Zhou Group.

Being kicked out has dire consequences. In the power struggles of wealthy families, though blood may not be seen on the surface, the suffering behind the scenes is no less intense.

Zhou Linxu took a slow, deep breath and came to his senses: "Now it's all right, you've taught Zan Zan to be very brave."

He had also noticed the changes in Zan Zan during this period. Although Zan Zan had a bit of the Little Demon Pill's constitution before, it was only in front of him. When he met strangers, he would sometimes be too scared to speak.

Now? Only others are afraid of him.

Jin Xi smiled and said, "With President Zhou being so generous, how could I not work hard to justify the salary you pay me?"

Zhou Linxu's gaze fell on her, and the corners of his eyes seemed to lift slightly.

Although Jinxi said that, he could also see that she was just as emotionally invested in Zanzan as he was in himself.

Zan Zan's dependence on her is genuine.

Breakfast wasn't ready yet, so the two sat down on the sofa and chatted casually.

Zhou Linxu asked, "How's the renovation going? I've been so busy lately, I keep forgetting to ask."

Jinxi said, "It's alright. The team you found is very reliable. I've been researching what other physical stores are worth starting, and I'll get all those empty shops under your name up and running."

She's going to start a business! She's determined to make a big splash in the business world!

Even if the profits aren't good, she won't lose much.

After all, the easiest thing to lose money in this kind of physical store business is rent. However, since the store is owned by the family and is empty, it doesn't seem to matter whether it's losing money or not.

"Okay, just let me know if you need anything." Zhou Linxu looked at Jin Xi: "Don't be so polite with me."

"Don't worry, I'm not the type to suffer." Jinxi held the remote control, her eyes fixed on the TV, and said, "I can't do things that I have to endure alone."

She and Zhou Linxu had a 30/70 split, and he was practically a boss, so Jinxi would naturally ask for his opinion.

Zhou Linxu's lips curled up, and Jin Xi's open and generous manner made their conversation much closer.

Suddenly I realized that living like this isn't so bad.

He can support Jinxi's career, and Jinxi can support his family.

How can this not be considered a form of complementarity?
