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

The next day, Jinxi got up early. Although she had convinced herself before going to bed the night before, she still wanted to give herself some more time to adjust when it was actually dawn.

It's only seven o'clock now. Zhou Linxu doesn't have to go to the company to work lately, so he usually gets up after eight o'clock.

Jin Xi quickly washed up and changed her clothes, preparing to slip away before Zhou Linxu came downstairs. By the time she returned in the evening, the two of them should have calmed down enough.

Jin Xi had high hopes, but when she took the elevator down to the living room, she saw Zhou Linxu already sitting on the sofa, with the latest financial news playing on the TV in front of him.

Upon hearing the elevator's notification tone, Zhou Linxu immediately turned around, leaving Jin Xi no chance to sneak out the back door to ride her little green bike.

Zhou Linxu remained calm: "Get up."

Jinxi took a deep breath, walked over, and said, "Yeah, you're up. Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Zhou Linxu watched as Jin Xi sat on the single sofa, his gaze lingering on her face for a moment.

Jinxi keenly noticed his gaze and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

I regretted it as soon as I asked her the question. How could a female hooligan like her have the nerve to say such a thing!

Zhou Linxu said, "It's nothing."

He didn't know what he was looking at, but he couldn't help but want to fix his gaze on Jinxi.

The atmosphere between the two became silent.

Jinxi pursed her lips. Some things still had to be faced!

Escaping is not her style.

She cleared her throat: "Last night..."

"Last night..."

The two spoke almost at the same time, glanced at each other, and for some reason, both of them smiled.

Jinxi said, "I was indeed reckless last night. I thought you had fallen, so I didn't think much about it at the time. But the sink blocked the view... Anyway, I didn't see everything."

Jin Xi mumbled the last sentence, but Zhou Linxu heard it clearly.

He watched as Jinxi awkwardly twisted her fingers, as if it were the first time he had ever seen her like this, just like when Zanzan felt guilty.

Zhou Linxu said, "Actually, even if you actually saw it, it's nothing."

Jin Xi's eyes widened: "So generous...?"

Zhou Linxu tilted his head: "What?"

Jinxi's rationality frantically pulled her back: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I didn't say anything."

Zhou Linxu pursed his thin lips and said, "We are husband and wife. Even if you see me naked, it doesn't matter. It's legal."

God-like laws allow...

It's rare for Jinxi to share Zanzan's feelings; sometimes, it's really hard to respond to what Zhou Linxu says.

She took a breath: "That's what they say, but the two of us, the two of us... um..."

We're a contract couple! There's a fundamental difference between us and a normal, ordinary couple! How can she take advantage of the law to do whatever she wants to Zhou Linxu!

Zhou Linxu also thought of the contract they had signed, and for some reason, he felt a little regretful now.

He regretted signing that contract, but as for why he regretted it... he couldn't explain it clearly.

Breakfast was ready just then, and Zhou Linxu said, "Let's eat breakfast first. What time are you coming back today?"

Jinxi said, "You don't need to wait for me for lunch this afternoon. By the way, if you don't have anything to do this morning, take Zanzan, Daju, and Dali to the flower park for a stroll. Don't go this afternoon, it's too sunny."

Zhou Linxu made a note of it. He tried to stand up with his cane. When Jin Xi saw this, she also got up and reached out to support his arm. But the moment she reached out, Zhou Linxu subconsciously grabbed her fingertips.

Jinxi's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at Zhou Linxu.

His eyes were deep, as if trying to draw her into his vortex.

The two stared at each other, neither speaking for a moment, but their hands remained clasped together.

"Have you two held hands enough?"

The sudden soft, childlike voice startled both of them. Jinxi instinctively released Zhou Linxu's hand and tried to turn around to look at him, but the next second she tripped over either her own leg or Zhou Linxu's leg.

She fell straight in front of Zhou Linxu, but luckily she reacted quickly and braced herself against the back of the sofa, thus avoiding a solid fall on Zhou Linxu.

But when she came to her senses, she realized that things weren't much better now...

One of her legs was positioned between Zhou Linxu's legs, and the other leg was also close to his, but her knee was pressed against the sofa, pressing down slightly due to gravity.

What's worse, she trapped Zhou Linxu between her arms, as if she had pinned him against a wall.

Zhou Linxu's back was pressed against the sofa, his face was slightly raised, his jawline became particularly clear, and his eyes looked particularly innocent, with a hint of smile and gentleness in his innocence.

Zhou Yanqian hugged his puppy plush toy, looking at everything in front of him in a daze. Was he still asleep? (o´・ェ・｀o)

He said one sentence that startled the two of them, making them flustered and looking like they were about to get intimate.

He was now at a loss as to whether he should speak or not.

But after hesitating for a while, Zhou Yanqian couldn't help but say, "Why don't you two kiss?"

When Lei Ting's son, Lei Ting, spoke up, Jin Xi hurriedly stood up and said, "Sorry, sorry."

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement: "It's nothing."

After they finished talking, they realized something was wrong. Jinxi looked down at Zanzan, who was wearing pajamas and hugging a puppy plush toy, and asked, "Why are you awake?"

Nobody called him.

Zhou Yanqian said, "Hmph, I'll be diligent myself!"

The main reason was that he went to bed early last night and was thinking about going out to play with Jinxi, so not long after Zhou Linxu woke up, he also slowly woke up. However, after not finding his father in the children's room, he came out with his doll.

With his exceptionally good eyesight, he spotted two people on the stairs whispering to each other.

So he changed his mind and sneaked down the stairs, intending to scare the two people into screaming.

He was genuinely frightened, but it was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

Zhou Yanqian was a little depressed, feeling a sense of frustration that he had failed to do something bad.

Jinxi noticed his little face suddenly scrunched up again and asked, "What's wrong with you now, you melancholy peach prince?"

The melancholy Peach Prince Zan Zan raised his head: "Weren't you all surprised?"

Zhou Lin's Preface: ...

Jinxi: ...

Isn't that a shock enough?

Zhou Linxu said, "I was already quite startled."

Zhou Yanqian sneered. Was he just being perfunctory first thing in the morning?

Jinxi picked him up: "It's still early, go back to sleep for a while. Look at you, you look like you haven't woken up yet."

"I don't want to," Zhou Yanqian said. "I want to go out and play with you."

Jinxi sighed, "How come you still remember this?"
