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

"This is a huge misunderstanding," Jin Xi quickly clarified. "I only like Zan Zan, that kid."

Zhou Yanqian's expression softened a little, and he snorted, "Who wants you to like it?"

After saying that, he added, "You are not allowed to like this child."

What's so great about that little peacock?! I hate everything about it!

Jinxi wanted to laugh but had to hold it in. She knew Zanzan was jealous, but she didn't expect it to be this extreme.

She coughed lightly and said, "So you're going to reply to him? He's definitely waiting for your news right now."

Zhou Yanqian really didn't want to answer Gu Mingzheng at all, and he angrily took a big bite of an egg waffle.

Forget it, he's an adult, why should he argue with a child? Anyone who doesn't know better would think Zhou Yanqian is petty and narrow-minded.

Zhou Yanqian swallowed the egg waffle in his mouth, then lazily replied using the voice message button: "No time, I'm eating egg waffles outside. You do your own thing, I'm not replying to you."

After sending the message, he really didn't look at his phone anymore, and even specifically told Jinxi, "Don't reply to his messages either."

Jinxi thought to herself, "How could I do that? I'll just secretly help Zanzan finish up later."

She didn't respond, but simply said, "Ask Dad if he's done. We've almost finished eating."

She was feeling quite full after eating just one egg waffle.

She gave a thumbs-up and then used Jinxi's phone to find Zhou Linxu's WeChat.

Both of their profile pictures were of him, and they had changed them many times over; there were many of them that he had never seen before.

Zhou Yanqian had just clicked in when he was struck by a photo!

Around 7:40 in the morning, Jinxi sent Zhou Linxu a photo. Who else could be in the photo?

Ignorant, bewildered, pitiful, innocent, asleep, Zan Zan Zong!

Zhou Yanqian's eyes widened considerably. He had forgotten to send a message to Zhou Linxu and immediately turned to look at Jin Xi.

Jinxi was just taking a bite of tofu pudding when she tilted her head and asked innocently, "What's wrong, baby?"

Zhou Yanqian clenched his fists: "I was asleep, you touched me!"

Jinxi hummed in agreement, then glanced at her phone before realizing what she meant. She said, "Oh, I was going to show it to you, but I was so busy this morning that I forgot."

Zhou Yanqian pouted, wondering why they had to take a picture of him sleeping!

Don't children have privacy?

Jinxi asked, "Look at your photo, isn't it adorable?"

Before Zhou Yanqian could speak, Jin Xi asked again, "Have you noticed anything amiss?"

What's wrong?

Zhou Yanqian was puzzled. "That's him! There are no other children in the family!"

Oh, except for oranges and lychees!

Jinxi, suppressing a laugh, reminded him, "Take a closer look and see if there's anything wrong."

Zhou Yanqian opened the photo with some skepticism and then skillfully zoomed in.

There's nothing wrong with it; he's such a handsome little boy.

Zhou Yanqian is very satisfied with his sleeping face.

Seeing Zhou Yanqian's slightly satisfied expression, Jin Xi reminded him again, "Where's the pillow?"

"Huh?" Zhou Yanqian then realized, where's his pillow?

Wait a minute—

Zhou Yanqian finally realized why he was sleeping on the edge of the bed.

He slept very soundly last night!

Did Zhou Linxu attack him last night?!

Zhou Yanqian went to look at Jinxi and found that she was smiling. Noticing Zanzan's gaze, he said, "Hmm, you sleep very soundly."

Zhou Yanqian: ...

Zhou Yanqian wanted to refute, but he couldn't come up with a single rebuttal.

He remembers that he slept very peacefully! He looked exactly the same way he did when he slept in his past life, and he still looks the same way when he wakes up in the morning.

Jinxi continued, "One night your dad said his neck was leaking water."

Zhou Yanqian didn't understand, why was water leaking from his neck?

But this time he reacted quickly, almost immediately covering Jinxi's mouth. However, Jinxi still blurted out, "When your dad turned on the light, he found out it was the baby drooling—hmm?"

Jinxi's mouth was tightly covered by Zanzan.

She looked at little Zan Zan, now a little annoyed, her fair ears and cheeks turning bright red: "Don't say it! Forget it! Forget it!"

Damn it, he'll throw that demon couple to the other side of the earth tonight!

How badly damaged is this?!

Jinxi tried to pull his hand away, but Zhou Yanqian refused and covered her mouth, saying, "I won't allow you to speak! You're not allowed to speak!"

Jinxi nodded, looking at Zanzan, who seemed to be getting ready to be born.

Zhou Yanqian moved his hand away this time, intending to be poised, elegant, and graceful, but now all of that was gone.

He, he, he's so well-behaved when he's asleep!

Jin Xi is lying to a child! How could he possibly drool all over Zhou Linxu's neck while sleeping? How could he possibly sleep on the edge of the bed? This must be a setup! It must be!

Zhou Yanqian's eyes became much more determined as he frantically brainwashed himself.

But her eyes drooped when she looked into Jinxi's eyes.

Bad, so bad, extremely bad.

Jinxi rubbed his soft little face: "Okay, okay, I only took the picture because I thought you were cute."

Zhou Yanqian turned his face away and ignored her.

Jinxi softened her tone: "Baby, baby? Little one, little one, please talk to me."

Zhou Yanqian turned his entire body away, refusing to speak to her.

Jinxi held him on her lap, but he still looked stubborn.

Jinxi said, "I'm sorry, I won't take pictures of you sleeping anymore."

Zhou Yanqian then glanced at her and said, "Swear it."

"I swear," Jin Xi immediately held up four fingers.

Zhou Yanqian glanced at her and manually pressed her little finger down.

Jin Xile said with delight, "You're quite knowledgeable."

Zhou Yanqian glanced at her, and Jin Xi immediately became serious again: "I swear, I will never take pictures of the baby sleeping in bed again, no matter how cute or handsome he is, I will not take pictures of him without permission."

Zhou Yanqian was finally satisfied. He looked up at Jin Xi, who then leaned down and kissed him on the forehead: "Apologize with a kiss."

Is that correct?

Is this an apology?

This is blatantly an excuse to kiss him!

Jinxi pressed her face against Zanzan's cheek: "Please forgive me, Zanzan, okay?"

Zhou Yanqian's face was practically squeezing out of shape, and he finally said with great "helplessness," "Just this once!"

Forgive him once, it's not like you can't! Why are you sticking so close to him? You're distorting his handsome face!

Jinxi then straightened her head: "Thank you for forgiving me, baby. Next time I'll wait for your permission before taking pictures."

"Just so you know!" Zhou Yanqian said, "Don't show it to anyone else!"

How ridiculous!

Jinxi laughed and said, "I already showed it to Xiaoxu, but you should sleep with me for now, and let Dad sleep alone."

If he hadn't seen the photos, Zhou Yanqian would have refused in a serious manner, but now that he has, he's become a bit hesitant.

Zhou Yanqian said, "Let's talk about it tonight..."

Jinxi put him back in his seat: "Okay, we'll talk about it tonight. Send Dad a message and tell him where we are. It should be about time to go home."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh," then turned on Jinxi's phone and sent a voice message to Zhou Linxu.
