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

Finally, the father and son both gave up and happily started building with the blocks.

Seeing Zan Zan's focused expression, Zhou Linxu raised his hand and patted his head. This time, he was much gentler and didn't press Zan Zan's head down with a single touch.

Zhou Yanqian turned to look at him in confusion: "What are you doing!"

Another provocation?

Jinxi was sitting on the sofa behind them, scrolling through her phone. She looked up when she heard their conversation and saw Zhou Linxu patting Zanzan's head again.

He answered very sincerely, "I just want to pat your head, nothing else."

Zhou Yanqian also recalled what had happened several times before, only remembering that Zhou Linxu touched his head as if he was about to behead him.

She gave him a disdainful look and continued assembling her blocks, but ultimately didn't move an inch.

Zhou Linxu felt a little relieved, patted his little head again, put his arm around his shoulder, and pulled him closer to himself.

One more heartwarming moment between father and son.

Jinxi looked away and continued scrolling through her phone. Just then, a new message came in.

I thought it was some unfamiliar text message, but when I clicked on it, I found it was from my family.

【Jin Xi, as long as you still bear the surname Jin, you'll never be able to repay our kindness! If it weren't for our family, would you have risen to such a high position? I don't care what methods you use to appease Zhou Linxu! Your confidence in the Zhou family is only because of your maternal family, isn't it? Once your maternal family falls on hard times, Zhou Linxu will deal with you more easily than discarding a piece of clothing!】

Jinxi is sometimes quite puzzled as to why they can say such things with such confidence and arrogance.

【We've heard everything Yunyun has said. Yunyun is still young, so what's wrong with you, as her older sister, letting her be? That's just her temper; she's a bit impulsive, but she doesn't have any bad intentions.】

The cow has grown up.

Jinxi felt her middle finger was itchy; what a shameless family.

The original owner was truly patient.

Jinxi got up, took a deep breath, and lay down again.

But when he saw the comment "Yunyun is still young," he laughed in exasperation.

Zhou Linxu turned his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jin Xi smiled and said, "Nothing."

But after thinking about it, she finally sat up: "I'm going out for a bit."

Zhou Linxu glanced at his watch. It was already four o'clock, and dinner would be ready in a little while.

He asked, "Where to?"

Zan Zan finally came to his senses and said, "I'll go too!"

Although I went out to play today, I didn't get to ride the little green car yet!

Jinxi simply rubbed his little face: "If you don't go, I'll be back soon."

Zhou Yanqian asked in confusion, "Why shouldn't I go?"

Weren't we going out to play? Even if we're just going to buy something, he can stand in front!

Jinxi smiled and said, "Aren't you going to build with the blocks anymore? Didn't you say that after this castle is finished, you'll put it in Daddy's office?"

Zhou Yanqian immediately coughed lightly: "Who, who said they were going to put it in his office..."

Why does Xiaoxi tell everyone everything?

When I bought it last time, I casually mentioned that once it was assembled, I could put it in my father's office. I thought that if he saw it when he was tired, he would work harder to earn money, and then he would have an endless supply of money!

Why does it sound so unpleasant when Xiaoxi talks about this now?

Jinxi had no time to waste. She glanced at the map and knew that it would take twenty minutes to ride the little green bike from the Zhou family's house to the Jin family's house. It would take at most ten minutes to deal with the matter and another twenty minutes to come back. An hour would be enough, and she might even be able to make it home for dinner.

She patted Zan Zan's head again, got up to go to the entrance to get her car keys, and turned her head to see Zan Zan looking at her expectantly.

The moment their eyes met, Zan Zan pouted, as if going out alone was a huge injustice for her.

But honey, Mommy is going out to fight now, not to play.

Jinxi turned her face to the side, refusing to look at Zanzan's little face at all.

So he walked to the backyard with his neck stiff.

That despicable little Zan Zan, she actually used her beauty to test the cadres!

Zhou Yanqian was somewhat shocked. He was in such a state! And Jin Xi just left?!

Normally, Jinxi would have come over with a big smile and hugged him tightly!

Zhou Linxu waited for a long time, but Zan Zan didn't turn around.

He asked in a low voice, "Zanzan, why did you stop pushing yourself?"

Zhou Yanqian withdrew his gaze somewhat disappointedly, and said dejectedly, "Let's give it a try."

This seems to be the first time Jinxi has left him behind; the last time was because she was going to check out shop locations.

Zhou Yanqian turned to Zhou Linxu and shouted, "I'm not fighting anymore!"

Caught off guard by the shout, Zhou Linxu closed his eyes and rubbed his ears. "You little rascal! Xiao Xi didn't bring you along, why are you taking it out on me?"

"I didn't lose my temper!" Zhou Yanqian snorted twice. "You, slanderer!"

Zhou Lin's Preface: ...

If this doesn't count as losing my temper, then what does?

Zhou Linxu asked, "Okay, you didn't throw a tantrum, so why are you unhappy? Is it because Xiaoxi won't take you out to play?"

Zhou Yanqian pursed his lips and didn't answer, preparing to walk past Zhou Linxu to go downstairs to play with Daju and Dali.

But he had only taken one step when Zhou Linxu grabbed his waist and picked him up naked.

Zhou Linxu asked, "Where are you going, little friend? You haven't answered my question yet."

Zhou Yanqian twisted and turned, trying to get down, but was held back by Zhou Linxu.

Zhou Linxu couldn't help but find his wriggling amusing and commented, "Like a tagalong."

Zhou Yanqian's eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Who's the tagalong here?

Zhou Linxu's way of speaking is just so unpleasant to hear!

He declared matter-of-factly, "I just want to go out and have some fun!"

Zhou Linxu said "Oh," and replied, "I can take you out to play too. You can ride a bicycle around the neighborhood."

Since buying Xiao Lv, Zhou Yanqian has been skateboarding much less these past few days. He has ridden his bicycle a few times, but only for a short while in his own yard, or he would ride around the area for a couple of days.

However, as the weather gets hotter, he sweats after playing around, but his enthusiasm doesn't seem to diminish.

Zhou Linxu said, "I'll take you out for a bike ride now. Once Xiaoxi gets home, we can have dinner together."

Zhou Yanqian pursed his lips, not answering immediately.

Zhou Linxu rubbed Jin Xi's little face, just like he did. "You brat, you still say you're not a tagalong?"

Zhou Yanqian came to his senses and didn't know how to answer.

He didn't really want to go out for a bike ride because it was still a bit hot, but if he said he wouldn't go, Zhou Linxu would definitely think he was a tagalong.

But he was never one to follow others around like a tagalong!

Zhou Linxu saw his expression clearly, and finally, taking advantage of his inattention, he sent a message to ask Jinxi what he was doing outside.

Jinxi was almost at the gate when she saw Zhou Linxu's message.

She didn't actually intend to hide her visit from Jin's family, but since Zan Zan was there, she didn't want to say too much, fearing it would set a bad example for the child.

[Zhou Linxu: What are you doing out there?]

[Jinxi: I need to go to Jin's house to take care of some things.]

[Zhou Linxu: Do you need any help?]

[Jinxi: No need, I can handle it.]

She was afraid that Zhou Linxu's presence would affect her performance.
