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

There was only a dim nightlight in the room. Jinxi leaned against the headboard, looking tenderly at Zanzan, who had an incredulous and slightly awkward expression.

After hearing what the maid said, she felt something was strange, so she asked Butler Zhao a few more questions and learned that there was a camera installed in Zan Zan's room for his safety.

The camera only recorded fourteen days, so Jinxi quickly watched through all fourteen nights and discovered that Zanzan's insomnia wasn't due to playing with the watch for too long.

More accurately, he was afraid to fall asleep for a long time.

During these fourteen days, he went to bed early only on the night he first transmigrated and the night after that. Otherwise, he almost always waited until after midnight.

Before he got a watch to play with, he was just a little kid in a dark room, hugging his puppy plushie and muttering to himself.

At first, Jinxi couldn't understand what he was muttering at all. It wasn't until she listened carefully that she realized he was saying things like "Don't be afraid, puppy," "Zanzan is with you," and "Don't be afraid."

Is it the puppy toy that's scared, or Zan Zan?

Jinxi had mixed feelings after hearing this.

She forgot that children are afraid of the dark, and the children's room was very large. With the heavy curtains drawn, there was no light at all, and Zan Zan had previously been locked in a dark room.

Nighttime can breed fear, and at this age, children need their parents to be with them to sleep.

So after thinking it over, Jinxi decided to coax him to sleep for a few days and get him back into a better sleep routine.

Zhou Yanqian instinctively wanted to slip away, but Jinxi's arms held him tightly and tucked him into the blanket. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yanqian was wrapped up like a caterpillar.

Jinxi's arm was pressed on the quilt. Although the weather was getting warmer, she still wrapped the quilt very tightly.

She gently patted his side with her palm, her voice lowering slightly, "Sleep well, Zan Zan. You have to continue skateboarding lessons tomorrow."

Zhou Yanqian's face flushed slightly: "Get out! I don't need you to stay with me!"

Jinxi said without changing her expression, "I'm scared, so I want brave little Zanzan to sleep with me."

What on earth is going on here?!

Zhou Yanqian struggled a few times, but Jin Xi was wrapped up so tightly, like a rice dumpling wrapper, that he couldn't get off at all.

All he could do was glare at her, a kind of powerless rage.

Jinxi didn't care how he looked at her. She turned slightly to the side, gently patted his side, and slowed her breathing.

Seeing that there was no hope of resistance, Zhou Yanqian simply turned over and refused to look at Jin Xi.

Jinxi didn't correct his sleeping posture, but dutifully patted his side.

Zhou Yanqian's eyes widened with anger. This woman was indeed up to no good. She actually went to her stepson's room late at night. Did she really think he was so easy to bully?

I must kick this woman out of the house tomorrow!

He had originally thought that if this woman had a proper attitude, he might be able to let her off the hook when he grew up.

Looking back now, it was all just wishful thinking on his part!

Jinxi didn't care what he was thinking at the moment, and continued to pat his little arm dutifully. Noticing that Zhou Yanqian hadn't spoken, she softly hummed the tune of Jasmine Flower.

Zhou Yanqian silently covered his ears. Tomorrow, he would first rip out this vicious woman's tongue...

But perhaps because he had met his exercise target for the day, Zhou Yanqian's eyelids began to feel heavy as he thought about it.

Tomorrow... he will definitely... zzzzz...

Jinxi listened carefully to Zanzan's breathing, and after it gradually became calm, she withdrew her hand.

She didn't leave immediately. Instead, she waited a while longer to make sure he was sound asleep before reaching out and gently laying Zan Zan down, placing the puppy next to his pillow closer to him.

Jinxi glanced at the time; she had only been in there for fifteen minutes. The child was scared, but as long as she stayed with him, he would fall asleep quickly.

Of course, her sleep-inducing techniques also played a crucial role.

She learned this trick from her own mother. When she was first brought back from the orphanage, her mother would gently pat her and hum "Jasmine Flower" to her, and she would sleep soundly through the night without any dreams.

Jinxi quietly got out of bed, tucked the blanket around Zanzan before leaving, and then pulled up the railing.

After making sure everything was in order, she left quietly.

After she left, Butler Zhao was still waiting for her outside.

Jinxi said, "Go and rest, he's already asleep."

Butler Zhao asked, "Madam, would you like to hire a nanny to help you fall asleep?"

A nanny to put to sleep?

Jinxi thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see. Let's see how this little stubborn boy gets used to it first."

Zan Zan is actually quite stubborn, and she has observed over the past few days that among all the nannies in the house, the only one he can accept is Butler Zhao. Other nannies and servants will quietly leave after a short while.

Jinxi said, "Let's move up the time to get a new nanny. Please take good care of her."

Butler Zhao glanced at her a couple more times without making it obvious, and finally nodded: "Yes, Madam."

The next day.

When Zhou Yanqian was awake, the room was still dim, but it was noticeably brighter than at night. The dim light was enough for him to see his room clearly.

He subconsciously looked to the side, only to find that he had been tossing and turning all night and was now asleep at the foot of the bed.

The key point is, that woman isn't there either.

Wasn't she lying in his room yesterday?

Zhou Yanqian sat on the bed for a while before reluctantly getting off. But to his surprise, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside as soon as his feet touched the ground.

He turned his head and saw that Jinxi was already dressed and standing outside the door.

She wasn't too surprised to see that Zan Zan was already awake. He had gone to bed early yesterday, so he was bound to be more self-disciplined in waking up today.

However, she still offered plenty of emotional support: "Whose little darling woke up all by themselves? That's amazing!"

Zhou Yanqian couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Jinxi immediately picked him up and pinched Zanzan's little nose: "Did you just roll your eyes at me?"

Zhou Yanqian frowned and tried to pry her hands open, but he had already experienced Jin Xi's strength and couldn't pry them open at all.

Jinxi wasn't going to let him off this time, and continued, "Apologize to me, or I'll pinch your nose long, like Pinocchio's, so it becomes a long, ugly nose."

Zhou Yanqian replied, "That's just something to fool kids."

His nose was half pinched off, and his voice was muffled, which, combined with the babyish tone of a child, made him sound adorable.

Jinxi only played with him for a bit, and when she let go of his hand, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Baby can even tell the difference between being lied to and not being lied to?"

Zhou Yanqian ignored her again, pointed to the bathroom, and gestured for her to carry him there.

Jin Xi chuckled lightly: "So you're using me as a driver, aren't you?"

Zhou Yanqian closed his eyes, looking like he wasn't going to listen.

Jinxi picked him up and muttered, "You little rascal, you're so clever for your age, you're so naughty."

Naughty?

Zhou Yanqian opened his eyes and said calmly, "I was never a good person to begin with."

Jinxi placed him on the step stool, listened to his words, stuffed a toothbrush into his hand, and laughed, "You're wrong."

Zhou Yanqian blinked at her, and Jin Xi coughed twice, deliberately raising her voice: "You should say, 'Baby wasn't a good person to begin with~'"

After Jinxi finished learning, she couldn't help but laugh. It was so much fun, hahaha!

Zhou Yanqian: ...

He stared at Jinxi laughing in the mirror and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Crazy!"

In my past life I was a madman, and in this life I've changed course and become a psychopath!
