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

I don't know if it's because the scooter I gave Zan Zan today has touched his heart, but when Jin Xi went to coax him to sleep tonight, he gave her a nice look, but still left Jin Xi with a stubborn back view, hugging his puppy toy and not saying a word.

Jinxi didn't force him to do anything, and silently raised her head to gently pat his back.

Perhaps she was tired from being a free model for others today, because before we even got to the part about humming "Jasmine Flower," Jinxi found that Zanzan had fallen asleep.

Sure enough, in a relatively safe environment, the child fell asleep very quickly.

Jinxi gently laid him flat, placed the puppy plush toy next to the pillow, tucked him in, and then quietly left.

After leaving the children's room, she stretched her stiff shoulders, neck, and arms. Taking care of a child is physically demanding.

Jinxi went up to the third floor, took a shower, put on a luxurious face mask, and was just about to browse her phone when an unfamiliar local number called.

She glanced at it and hung up the phone decisively.

She kept the anti-fraud center's words firmly in mind: never answer unfamiliar numbers!

Jinxi hummed a tune as she planned to buy a photo printer online so she could print out all of Zanzan's photos at home, and maybe even buy an instant camera.

I'm rich now, I'll buy whatever I want!

Hehehe!

Jin Xi is absolutely thrilled.

But as soon as I opened the shopping app, that unknown number called again.

Jinxi pursed her lips, but finally answered the phone, asking somewhat unhappily, "Who is this? Calling so late at night, aren't you asleep while everyone else is trying to sleep!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before the voice said, "It's me."

It was a very calm and steady voice, Jinxi couldn't help but think.

Even with the slight modulation of the electric current, it is still very catchy.

Jinxi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, her obsession with sound quality becoming increasingly apparent.

But why did the other person say "it's me"?

She had never heard this voice before, yet it felt strangely familiar.

She was about to ask when a thought suddenly struck her, and her tone softened: "Zhou... Linxu?"

The man on the other end of the phone hummed in agreement: "Butler Zhao said you needed to speak with me."

Jinxi involuntarily sat up straighter and hummed in agreement. "I just wanted to talk to you about the parent-child reality show. Did you see the message I sent you on WeChat?"

"No, my phone is broken." Zhou Linxu explained why it was an unknown number: "I'm using Assistant Qin's phone now."

He spent the whole day in meetings using his work phone; his personal phone isn't ready yet.

Jinxi coughed twice and said seriously, "That's right, I suddenly feel that there's no need for Zanzan to go on that parent-child reality show. He's never been to the countryside, and I'm worried he won't adapt to the environment."

There was no immediate response from the person on the other end of the phone, and Jinxi felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the big shot was angry because he wasn't speaking?

After all, in Zhou Linxu's eyes, whether she went or not, it was all her making a fuss.

Jinxi waited a while longer, and just when she thought Zhou Linxu might have hung up, Zhou Linxu's voice came through the phone again: "The production team can't find another group of people willing to come on the show. Even if they have to withdraw temporarily, they still have to film the first episode. Give the production team some more time."

Although it's a parent-child variety show, it's not limited to parents and children. There are also combinations like aunts and nephews, uncles and nephews, etc., so the selection process takes a lot of effort. Background checks and contract terms can't be done in just a few days.

Jinxi wasn't too surprised by the result. She said, "...Okay, I'll take Zanzan to film the first episode, and then we'll have the production team replace her, okay?"

Zhou Linxu nodded, which was taken as agreement.

Jin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. The recording session lasted three days, so she treated those three days as a vacation.

The two fell silent again. Just as Jinxi was hesitating about how to end the call, the person on the other end spoke again: "Jinxi."

The man's voice came through the phone's speaker, as if whispering in Jinxi's ear.

Jinxi held the phone a little further away: "I'm here."

On the phone, Zhou Linxu's tone remained cold and indifferent: "Think things through before you act in the future."

Jinxi blinked: "...Oh."

The call finally ended with the other end of the line, after the other person simply hung up.

Jinxi tossed her phone aside, gritted her teeth, and finally sighed. There was nothing she could do; from Zhou Linxu's perspective, her contract wife was nothing but a troublemaker, constantly clamoring to be on a TV show one minute and then refusing to go the next.

It does seem like he's not very bright.

She peeled off the face mask and threw it into the trash can, puffing out her cheeks. But then again, Zhou Linxu's voice was really nice this week, very elegant.

No wonder he's the villain's father!

Jinxi rubbed her face again as she thought about it. Since she was going, she had to have a good talk with Zanzan tomorrow.

Moreover, based on her years of experience writing novels, any conflicts or trouble usually occur in the middle of the story.

She took Zan Zan there for three days, and since they didn't know anyone there, everyone was naturally very polite to each other.

The key point is that there are other children in this variety show, and Zan Zan might be able to make some good friends.

There are actually quite a few children around here, but when she takes Zan Zan out, he doesn't want to go into groups, and the other children don't want to play with Zan Zan either.

This time, there were only a few children on the trip, making it easier for them to form friendships.

Jinxi thought about it for a long time and realized that recording for three days was not bad. Besides, even if some clueless people came up to them, Zhou Linxu would be there as a human shield for them.

Who would dare to bully Zhou Linxu's wife and children?

The weather turned cold and the king was defeated!

Jinxi couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this.
