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

Because they had to deliver food to Zhou Linxu, Jinxi and Zanzan started eating lunch at 11:00 AM.

Today's lunch was prepared entirely by Chef Jinxi, with Zanzan assisting.

Tomato and pork rib soup, minced meat and tofu stew, and hot and sour shredded potatoes.

The three dishes were divided in half, and Zan Zan ate until her belly was round and full.

Although Xiaoxi said she couldn't cook delicacies, all she could cook were simple dishes that went well with rice!

Zhou Yanqian slumped lazily in his chair, still savoring the delicious tomato and pork rib soup. It was indeed very tasty, and Xiao Xi had even made him a refreshing lemon and spicy dipping sauce.

Although it's called sour and spicy, the actual spiciness is only Schrödinger's spiciness. There's only one tiny chili pepper, about the size of his little fingernail, soaking in the dipping sauce. Compared to her portion, it's nothing.

But it was still delicious! He ate so many ribs by himself!

Jinxi said, "Go to the restroom and wash your hands. I'll go upstairs and put on some sunscreen, then we can go out."

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," stepped down onto a small stool, and said, "I'll try it too."

He feels that he's not as fair-skinned as he used to be lately.

"Okay, I just bought you some children's sunscreen, I'll take it down and apply it for you." Jinxi joked, "You're still such a pretty little baby."

Zhou Yanqian could tell from her mocking tone that he was angry, so he went to the bathroom.

At 11:20, the two men, wearing helmets, left home on time.

It's a bit sunny today, but it's not too bad with the wind blowing while I'm wearing a helmet.

Jinxi was already thinking about whether she should get a sunshade when she got back.

Judging from how Zan Zan rides the little green car every day, even the best sunscreen probably won't be able to block the scorching sun, not to mention it will only get hotter and hotter later on.

Zhou Yanqian said, "There aren't many cars right now."

Jinxi nodded and said, "It's lunchtime. Everyone's getting ready for lunch, so there will definitely be fewer cars."

While waiting at a red light, Jinxi lifted the bag around Zanzan's neck: "Is it heavy?"

"It's not heavy." Zhou Yanqian held the bag with both hands. It contained Zhou Linxu's lunch rations for today. It was actually a little heavy, but it was still easy for him.

Jinxi originally wanted to find a backpack to carry herself, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find a single backpack at home, so she had to empty the large bag that she usually used to pack Zanzan's travel essentials.

Jinxi said, "You're such a good baby, your filial piety is truly admirable."

Zhou Yanqian didn't think so. He just didn't want his morning's work to go to waste!

He and Xiao Xi had been busy all morning, so of course they had to be eaten!

A little after noon, Jinxi arrived at the company building with Zanzan.

After parking the little green car, Jinxi took the bag from Zanzan's arms: "Let's go, your dad should be taking a nap too."

She saw that quite a few employees had come out; it must be lunch break time.

Zhou Yanqian nodded and took Jinxi's hand as they walked inside.

Perhaps it was the two people's good looks that were so attractive that they drew the attention of many people.

Zhou Yanqian was walking with his head held high when he suddenly heard someone say, "Hmm? This kid looks so familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."

How could I not have seen it?

His great-uncle is their boss; they see each other every day, how could they not be familiar with each other?

Zhou Yanqian glanced at them casually, then obediently followed Jin Xi toward the elevator.

After taking only two steps, I heard the two men say again, "Oh, that's President Zhou's son. You forgot? For a while, President Zhou used to hold him during meetings all the time. I didn't expect him to grow up so big..."

The two of them lowered their voices, but Zhou Yanqian couldn't help but frown.

Did Zhou Linxu hold him during a meeting?

When did this happen? How come he has no memory of it at all?

Zhou Yanqian looked up, wanting to see the two people, but they had already gone outside.

Jinxi was just sending a message to Zhou Linxu, asking if he was in the office, but she didn't know if he was busy, because Zhou Linxu didn't reply immediately.

Jinxi didn't pay much attention, since they were going up anyway. She held Zanzan's hand and looked down. Zanzan was looking at something.

Jinxi asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Yanqian snapped out of his daze and shook his head: "It's nothing."

Jinxi didn't take it to heart and took his hand as they entered the elevator.

Once you've been here once, you'll know your way around easily.

There aren't many people left on this floor; they've probably all gone to eat.

Jinxi and Zanzan pushed open the door to the president's office and found that no one was inside.

Zhou Yanqian swaggered in, asking in confusion, "Didn't he know we were coming?"

Why aren't you coming to greet me? Where have you been?!

Jinxi said, "I know."

He just said he was in the office.

Jinxi first took out the insulated lunchbox from her bag. She had just packed it in before leaving the house, and it was still warm inside, perfect for this weather.

Zhou Yanqian also went to the break room in the office to take a look, but there was no one there.

Jinxi finished arranging the dishes and was about to send a message to Zhou Linxu to ask again when the office door opened again.

Jinxi looked over and saw Zhou Linxu carrying a bag in. Judging from the brand, it seemed to be a milk tea brand.

She asked in surprise, "You went to buy milk tea?"

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement: "I asked Secretary Wen, and she said there's a really good milk tea shop downstairs that has fresh milk and small cups, which would be perfect for Zan Zan."

Zan Zan drinks mostly milk tea without tea, and Jin Xi doesn't dare to buy him any random milk teas, so he always drinks the same one.

She had mentioned to Zhou Linxu on WeChat this morning that she was allowed to drink milk tea today, and she didn't expect him to take it to heart.

Zhou Yanqian overheard this too, and asked in surprise, "You went to buy it?"

Zhou Linxu, who was sitting next to Jinxi, beckoned his eldest son over after hearing what he said.

Zhou Yanqian walked over without warning, only to have his cheek pinched by Zhou Linxu: "Did the milk tea just fly into your mouth by itself?"

Zhou Yanqian grabbed his arms with both hands, looking pitiful: "Why are you pinching my cheeks..."

Zhou Linxu lowered his hand: "I didn't use any force, don't try that on me."

Zhou Yanqian snorted. Considering how cooperative he was today, he would forgive his recklessness this time!

Jinxi said, "Alright, hurry up and eat, it'll get cold soon."

Zhou Linxu hummed in thanks, took the chopsticks Jinxi gave him, and Jinxi said, "Zanzan drank at least half of this soup."

Zhou Yanqian was rummaging through the milk tea bag when he heard Jin Xi say that. He raised his head slightly and retorted, "I didn't drink that much!"

Zhou Linxu replied, "I hope I won't wet my pants?"

Zhou Yanqian: ...

Jinxi said, "Don't talk nonsense, Zanzan isn't a child anymore."

Zhou Linxu chuckled and said, "Alright, he's not a child anymore. There's a restroom in Dad's office. Just go in and don't run out."

Zhou Yanqian felt an itch to get his hands on the ground, and thought he should be reborn as a shark.

A three-year-old who murdered his father shouldn't go to jail, right? I'll assassinate Zhou Linxu tonight!

Jinxi nudged him hard with her elbow, saying, "Stop teasing me, stop teasing me."

Zan Zan is about to explode!

Zhou Linxu chuckled softly and picked up his rice with his chopsticks.

Jinxi watched as Zanzan took out all the milk tea from the bag—three cups, one of which was lemonade, clearly belonging to Zhou Linxu.

Zhou Yanqian looked at it, took the straw, inserted it, and took a sip.

Ugh, sour and sour.

Zhou Linxu took the lemonade away: "Why are you so greedy?"

Zhou Yanqian swallowed the lemonade and commented, "It's alright!"

He drinks this too, in the summer.

Zhou Linxu sighed and moved the lemonade further away.

Zan Zan (with a sack over his head): Tonight I'm going to assassinate that big daddy!

Preface (puzzling): Am I going to be drowned in saliva?

Xiao Xi: (Laughs uncontrollably—)

Give me your love and a five-star review, don't make me kneel down and beg you like a dog o(＞＜；)oo!
