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

Zhou Yanqian instinctively stomped his feet twice, but missed his footing.

He turned around and saw that his wretched old father had actually used him as a shield!

Zhou Linxu smiled and said, "Good boy, you shield your father for a moment."

Zhou Yanqian: "I won't—"

Zhou Linxu, however, clung to him and frantically tried to escape.

Jin Xi, with a "serious" expression, rebuked, "President Zhou, how could you treat our President Zan Zan like this? I have to give you a good scolding."

Then she reached out and lightly flicked Zhou Yanqian's soft cheek, feigning surprise as she said, "Baby, move away a bit!"

Then Jinxi poked his slightly round belly, and Jinxi exclaimed, "Baby, move aside!"

Zhou Yanqian's eyes widened in disbelief. Could he possibly dodge that?!

Poor Zan Zan not only lost a wish card, but was also attacked by wishes.

And he seemed completely unaware that his two demon parents were having a great time.

This is a huge loss! ╰（‵□′）╯!

After Zan Zan was poked several times while acting as Zhou Linxu's stand-in, Jin Xi and Zhou Linxu's consciences finally returned. The two looked at each other, and Jin Xi made a "big move" that Zan Zan snatched back.

She said, "Baby, go poke it one last time."

Zhou Linxu was now "backed" into a corner, looking like a helpless, pitiful creature clinging to a wall.

Zhou Yanqian looked at Jin Xi first and asked, "Did you do this on purpose?!"

Jinxi innocently said, "I didn't! I was so serious! I even won you back. Isn't that enough to show how hard I tried? I'm so sad, Zan Zan!"

Zhou Yanqian was a little embarrassed by what was said, and it seemed that was true...

Zhou Linxu's hands were like two large pincers, gripping his armpits tightly, making it difficult for him to break free.

Although Xiao Xi is very skilled in martial arts, she has no experience in kidnapping people, which makes perfect sense!

Zhou Yanqian managed to calm himself down.

He turned his head and began to glare angrily at his elderly father.

This person! This person! How could they do this!

The old father, Zhou Linxu, looked helpless. When Zhou Yanqian wasn't paying attention, he gave Jinxi a fierce look, asking how he could let him face this storm alone.

The raging storm in Zan Zan's eyes was about to tear his old father apart.

Jinxi pretended not to meet his gaze and said, "Come on, baby, now your daddy can't move!"

Zhou Yanqian looked at Zhou Linxu, stretched out his arm without any politeness, gestured, and then said, "Can't you squat down a little?"

Zhou Linxu took a deep breath, squatted down, and asked, "Is this height okay?"

Jinxi buried her face in Zhou Yanqian's soft shoulder and laughed; this time it was truly completely automatic.

Zhou Yanqian was satisfied. He was about to flick Zhou Linxu's forehead hard to let him know that some kids are not easy to bully.

Then I heard him casually say, "My birthday present is at home, you haven't opened it yet."

Zhou Yanqian's chubby little hand trembled twice, and finally, with his cheeks puffed out, he flicked his forehead hard.

Whether it's a gift or not, once it's given to him, it's his and there's no way to take it back.

Revenge is a must, how dare you threaten him?

That's an even bigger crime!

Zhou Linxu hissed and covered his forehead: "Sweetie, you're really strong."

All his strength and energy came from him.

Zhou Yanqian said smugly, "It's just so-so!"

He's the senior disciple of Jin Yanzi Martial Arts. Without some strength, how could he win people's respect?

Jinxi put him down: "Okay, go put the leash on Daju and Dali, let's go home."

Zhou Yanqian was also curious about what gift Zhou Linxu would give him. If he remembered correctly, when he was four years old in his previous life, Zhou Linxu gave him a puppy toy.

His room is overflowing with dog toys of all kinds.

Now that he already has a real puppy, if Zhou Linxu were to give him a puppy toy as well, then... then he could just give it to him.

What else can we do?

Despite thinking this way, Zhou Yanqian was still very curious.

He carefully arranged the wish cards and put them into Jinxi's bag, already thinking about when he would use the next one.

Jinxi walked over and teased him deliberately, "Hmm? You don't want these wish coupons anymore?"

Zhou Yanqian immediately said righteously, "I just asked you to keep it for me and return it to me when I get home."

Jinxi tilted her head: "Then I should at least get some interest, right?"

Zhou Yanqian thought for a moment and said, "You can use my New Year's money."

Jinxi shook her head: "I don't want New Year's money."

She crouched down: "Think again, what can you give me?"

The best thing would be to trick people into giving out another wish coupon.

Kids aren't meant to play with, are they? And eating so much ice can easily irritate their stomachs.

Zhou Yanqian had just finished putting ropes on Daju and Dali when he looked at Jinxi's face, and the whole boy became a bit serious.

He pursed his lips tightly, as if he were going through a great internal struggle.

Jinxi couldn't help but laugh: "What? Is it that difficult? Only one..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zan Zan suddenly rushed up to her, planted a fierce kiss on her cheek, and then said with a stern chin, "Are you satisfied now?"

Jinxi: ?

Jinxi was startled by the sudden kiss. Before she could react, she saw Zanzan looking at her with a "Why are you so greedy?" expression and giving her another hard kiss on the other cheek.

"That's enough! Don't be so greedy!" Zhou Yanqian said, "I'm not that kind of kid! There's no more!"

He kissed me twice! That's more than enough!

He has only ever kissed Daju and Dali's little faces in the whole family. I hope Xiaoxi won't be ungrateful!

Jinxi hissed and rubbed her ear.

Why does this kid always raise his voice when he feels guilty?

However, she belatedly realized what was happening. Looking at Zan Zan, the little guy was incredibly shy, his ears were flushed red, and his cheeks were visibly red as well.

She couldn't help but smile, knowing in her heart that this proud little Zan Zan had been going through a mental struggle for quite some time.

I guess he just misunderstood, but it's alright, it was a beautiful misunderstanding.

He's just too easily shy. While other kids can kiss their mom and dad with ease, Zhou Zanzan seems to be facing a formidable enemy.

But those who deserve encouragement should still be encouraged.

Jinxi took the opportunity to encircle him and pull him closer to her.

Zhou Yanqian pursed his lips, his round eyes darting here and there, but he avoided looking directly into Jin Xi's eyes.

Once he regained his senses, he realized what he had just done!

Zhou Yanqian's heart was pounding with excitement, he was screaming, and he felt like he was about to faint.

He is four years old, but not really four!

How could he kiss Jinxi!

Jinxi straightened his clothes and said happily, "That's enough. I'm very happy, so I've decided to give you back the wish coupon you just used."

Zhou Yanqian now focused his attention on Jin Xi, no longer screaming or fainting, and asked, "Really?"

Jinxi cupped his flushed little face in her hands: "When have I ever lied to you? Go put that one in your bag too."

Zhou Yanqian blinked, and his little mouth couldn't help but pout again.

Xiao Xi... Oh dear... Xiao Xi...

He couldn't help but tug at the hem of his clothes with his fingers.

Jinxi smiled and pinched his upturned lips: "Little duck, you look exactly like the little duck in your bathroom now. Haven't you had enough kisses?"

Zhou Linxu slowly squatted down as well. Hearing Jin Xi's words, he silently turned his face to the side.

Zhou Yanqian saw it too, and tilted his head: "What are you doing?"

Zhou Linxu said, "You can kiss me."

The flush that Zhou Yanqian had finally managed to get rid of surged back up, and he yelled again, "Who wants to kiss you!"

After saying that, she took the big orange and big lychee and prepared to go out.

Zhou Linxu just stared at him like that.

Zhou Yanqian puffed out his cheeks, and as he passed by him one last time, he pressed his cheek against his shoulder and gave him a hard kiss. After the kiss, he said, "Stop pretending to be pitiful!"

Zhou Linxu, feigning pitifulness: ?

He wasn't pretending to be pitiful, was he? Why is his son talking nonsense?!
