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

Zhou Linxu lowered his eyes, not knowing why, but he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

Is it hard work?

He didn't actually know, because he had completely gotten used to this kind of life.

Caught off guard by the question, Zhou Linxu really didn't know how to answer it.

Fortunately, Zan Zan returned at this moment. Sure enough, he was carrying fried chicken, wearing gloves, and had already started eating it.

His cheeks were chubby and his eyes were round, like a little hamster, so cute.

Zhou Yanqian looked at the two people sitting on the sofa: "What are you two talking about?"

Jinxi grabbed a tissue and wiped his mouth. Hearing Zanzan's question, she couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Kid, why do you want to know everything?"

Zhou Yanqian thought to himself, "I can't have any secrets in front of him!"

Jinxi added, "I was talking to your dad and asked him when he could finish his work so our family could go on a trip for a few days. We couldn't go last time."

Zhou Yanqian nodded: "We can find a place where it's not hot to play."

Then he remembered the water park that Gu Mingzheng had mentioned, and he casually said, "Playing in the water is fine too."

"Want to play in the water?" Jinxi thought for a moment, "I think I saw a link to a water park that's about to open. I'll search for it later, and if it's open, I'll take you there first."

Zhou Yanqian was very satisfied with Xiao Xi's "getting the hang of things." In this family, Xiao Xi was the one who understood him the most.

He feigned modesty and said, "Okay! Let's go have some fun together sometime."

Zhou Linxu couldn't help but click his tongue twice: "Stinky brat."

That stinky brat who says one thing but means another.

Zhou Yanqian rolled his eyes at him, then leaned against Jinxi's lap and began to nibble at her.

Friday arrived quickly.

When it was time, Jinxi woke up.

She opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling, and finally couldn't help but sigh. She burrowed her arms under the covers and very gently lifted a child's little foot off her stomach.

Zhou Linxu is away on a business trip these past two days, so Zan Zan naturally came up to the third floor to sleep.

However, this sleeping posture is really not flattering; Jinxi gets kicked several times a night.

I don't know if it's because of martial arts training, but Zan Zan's leg strength has increased a lot.

Jinxi sat up in bed and turned her head to see that Zanzan was still sleeping soundly. The puppy toy he had been hugging had been tossed onto his head.

What a wonderful and relaxing sleep experience!

Jinxi glanced at the time; it was only 7:30.

She got out of bed, looked at the little cub flying freely on the bed, sighed, stretched her neck, and went to wash up.

After washing up, Jinxi pulled back a small part of the bedroom curtains and looked outside. It was still drizzling.

It started raining yesterday afternoon, and according to the weather forecast, it's going to rain until tomorrow morning.

I wonder if this will affect Zhou Linxu's return?

Jinxi looked at the temperature for a while, then checked her phone to confirm the temperature, and went downstairs to find clothes for Zanzan.

It's already June, but it's still not very hot.

Jinxi found a white T-shirt for Zanzan, with a long light blue shirt on top, and chose a pair of wide-leg jeans. This outfit would be just right for the weather, neither too hot nor too cold.

After selecting the clothes, Jinxi took them upstairs.

But as soon as I entered the elevator, my phone rang.

She picked it up and glanced at it; it was a WeChat message from Zhou Linxu.

[Zhou Lin's Preface: Are you awake?]

[Jinxi: I'm awake. I was just about to wake Zanzan up.]

[Zhou Linxu: Is it raining at home?]

[Jinxi: It started raining yesterday afternoon, and it was a downpour yesterday, but it's gotten much lighter now.]

[Jinxi: Is it raining where you are?]

[Zhou Linxu: I've logged off. I don't know if I'll be able to fly on time this afternoon.]

[Jinxi: It's okay. If I can't fly, I'll come back tomorrow. Everything is fine at home.]

As Jinxi walked out of the elevator, she was wondering if the Zhou family would come knocking on her door after Zhou Linxu went on his business trip. Fortunately, everything was normal.

She went into the bedroom, where Zan Zan was still asleep, in the exact same position as when she left. She wondered what he was dreaming about, as his mouth moved a couple of times.

Jinxi found this scene amusing and recorded a video of Zhou Linxu.

[Jinxi: I'll burn this after reading it; he won't let me take a picture of his sleeping face.]

Last time she was caught, the little brat whispered in her ear for a long time.

[Zhou Linxu: Received]

Jinxi put her phone and clothes aside, walked to the bedside, and slowly shook Zanzan awake.

Zhou Yanqian looked at her and slowly blinked.

Why do I have to get up again?

His eyes were blinking and about to close again, but Jin Xi had already scooped him up. Zhou Yanqian then leaned on her shoulder and whispered, "Sleepy."

Jinxi said, "Are you going out or not? If you're not going out, just keep sleeping. I'll have Butler Zhao come up and help you get dressed later."

Zhou Yanqian hummed and hawed.

Jinxi is already used to it. He always looks like this when he gets up. If you tell him not to go, he will go. If you tell him to get up, he will whine and whimper first.

She picked Zan Zan up: "Wake up quickly, we're going out for breakfast this morning."

Zhou Yanqian reluctantly opened his eyes, yawned widely, and remained lying on Jin Xi's shoulder without moving.

Jinxi said, "Didn't you say you'd help me put things up today? Zanzan, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Zhou Yanqian responded with an "Oh," and said, "I haven't forgotten."

He's the senior disciple... and he needs to help set up the martial arts hall...

He spoke in a slurred and incoherent manner, but Jinxi knew that he had already woken up.

She placed Zan Zan on the step stool: "Let's brush our teeth."

Zhou Yanqian brushed his teeth properly, and Jin Xi washed his face.

After washing his face, Zhou Yanqian was fully awake. He stood obediently while Jinxi applied lotion to his face and asked, "When is Xiaoxu coming back?"

"I don't know yet," Jinxi said. "If it's still raining this afternoon, it might not be until tomorrow."

Zhou Yanqian also knew that it was difficult for planes to fly in this thunderstorm.

There were several claps of thunder last night, which gave him quite a fright!

Jinxi finished applying baby cream to him and said, "Alright, go change your clothes yourself."

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," got off the stool, and turned to go to the bedroom to change his clothes.

Jinxi quickly tidied up and returned to the living room, where Zanzan was still trying hard to put on her T-shirt.

She casually freed his head, then picked up her phone and glanced at it, only to find that the person she had interviewed that day had sent her a message.

[Past Events Don't Drift Away: Boss, can the interview be rescheduled for noon? The weather forecast says it won't rain at noon.]
