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

But after she'd had her fill of satisfaction, Jin Xi had a new problem: "It's just...it's just...it's just..."

Zhou Linxu walked down the steps and stood next to her, listening to her ramble on for a while without saying anything more: "What is it?"

Jin Xi said, "I hope my rash actions won't cause you any trouble, right? After all, in their eyes we're just one person..."

Jinxi became increasingly guilty as she spoke, and the last few words were almost inaudible.

Suddenly, her rationality returned. She couldn't help it; when she saw the occasional musings in the original owner's account book, she had no reason left.

Zhou Linxu chuckled lightly: "Looking at you, I thought you'd encountered something difficult to deal with."

"Isn't this difficult to handle?" Jin Xi said, "Knowing them as I do, once they're done with their work, they'll definitely turn around and cause me trouble. And then..."

"No," Zhou Linxu gently stopped her. "They won't cause you any trouble."

Jin Xi was completely relieved. Zhou Linxu's words meant he must have already come up with a solution.

She smiled broadly and said, "Thank you!!"

I have to say, having a huge backer is really awesome! ☆⌒(*＾-゜)v!

"No need to thank me," Zhou Linxu said. "It's my responsibility as a husband."

Jinxi didn't know why he had veered onto this topic, but she still nodded in agreement, "Yeah!"

Just then, Zan Zan poked his little head out from the doorway again.

His light eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the two people chatting in the backyard, somewhat displeased: "Why don't you come in!"

He peeled garlic inside for a long time, but not a single person came to help!

Luckily, he's naturally suspicious! When he came out, lo and behold, they were already chatting!

Jinxi turned around: "Come on, come on, we didn't come in, you can play by yourself!"

As she spoke, she stepped onto the stairs, about to pat Zan Zan's little head.

Zan Zan, however, warned, "You haven't washed your hands! You can't touch me!"

Jinxi reluctantly withdrew her hand, but she had sharp eyes and saw what Zanzan was holding, and immediately understood why the boy wanted them to come inside.

She feigned surprise and said, "Oh? Is the baby peeling garlic?"

Zhou Yanqian raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that Xiao Xi did have some sense!

He said reservedly, "Yes, Auntie is preparing the ribs, I'm peeling some garlic for her."

"That's amazing!" Jinxi asked, "How many did you peel?"

Zhou Yanqian raised one arm and held up three little fingers.

Jinxi immediately clapped her hands: "That's great, Zan Zan! You're really different from other kids. How can you do everything? You're such a relief for your parents! I'm going to hug and kiss you after I wash my hands, because you're so amazing."

Zhou Yanqian's ears turned red from the praise; Xiao Xi is really something!

This is such an easy thing! Why does she act like she's never seen anything like it before!

And why are you so unreserved, kissing and hugging him like that? Even though he's only three years old, there should still be a difference between boys and girls, right?

Zhou Linxu was a step behind the two of them. Hearing Jin Xi's exaggerated tone, a smile appeared in his eyes.

How come Xi is so full of energy every day?

But he couldn't bring himself to ask the question. Jinxi went to the first-floor restroom and washed his hands carefully. When he came out, Zanzan was sitting "elegantly" on the carpet, holding a small clove of garlic in his hands, struggling with something.

On the coffee table, there were also the castle blocks they had assembled.

The progress is quite fast; she's put in a lot more effort than before she left.

As Jinxi strolled over, she discovered a very interesting scene.

Although little Zan Zan sat elegantly with a tense little face, his round eyes secretly glanced at her. The closer Jin Xi got, the more tense his "elegant" aura became.

Zhou Linxu sat behind him, also looking at him.

I have absolutely no idea what he's trying to do.

He glanced at Jinxi, who indeed seemed to understand perfectly.

Zhou Linxu couldn't help but wonder what she had discovered.

The next second, Jinxi answered with her actions.

She walked up to Zan Zan, knelt down on one knee, and put an arm around Zan Zan's shoulder: "Come on! Give me a kiss!"

After saying that, he let out a loud "Whoosh!" and gave Zan Zan a big kiss on her soft, chubby little face!

Zan Zan tilted his head, pretended to struggle for a moment, and then the other half of his face was kissed.

Zhou Yanqian said, "I didn't allow you to kiss me twice!"

"It's okay, I gave my permission." Jinxi kissed his little forehead again. Sigh, what to do when you have a child at home who says one thing but means another?

What else can we do? Of course, we should cooperate with his performance, but we must also make him feel our enthusiasm.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they came after us later.

Zhou Yanqian said with a stern face, "You're nothing but a robber, a bandit!"

Jinxi hummed in agreement twice: "Baby, you peel garlic so well!"

"Of course! I do everything very well!" Zhou Yanqian raised his round chin.

He's someone who's lived an extra life, so this little thing is a piece of cake for him! There's nothing nice to say!

Jinxi patted his head: "Let's find some time to cook a meal together, it would be a lot of fun. You were really good at making dumplings last time."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh," but didn't rush to refuse: "We can make it when we come back from the day we go to the market."

"Okay," Jinxi said. "I'll take you there tomorrow morning, and then I'll bring your dad lunch at noon."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqian turned his head and saw Zhou Linxu holding his phone, seemingly doing something.

He looked slightly disgusted, but still reluctantly said, "Okay!"

Zhou Linxu had just replied to a work message when he heard Zhou Yanqian's somewhat disdainful tone.

I can't help but wonder, should I lose my child even though he's young?
