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

As soon as Jinxi finished asking the question, she saw Zanzan's expression change from confusion to stiffness, and after a while, it returned to calm.

Zhou Yanqian rolled over: "Going to sleep."

Efforts are being made to maintain a facade of peace and stability.

Jinxi chuckled softly and said, "Don't fall asleep. So many things happened at noon, I forgot everything."

Jinxi only just remembered; if she remembered correctly, Zanzan called her name twice.

Zhou Yanqian's ears were completely red at this moment. He had thought that Xiao Xi hadn't heard him since she hadn't brought it up.

He thought to himself, "It's good that I didn't hear it."

Little did he know she had overheard him. Now that he was in the bedroom, there was nowhere for him to escape, so he had no choice but to pretend to faint.

Jinxi patted his shoulder: "Zanzan, little one, sweetie? I know you weren't asleep, did you call out?"

Zhou Yanqian kept his eyes tightly closed and his insteps tensed. No matter how Jinxi shook him, he remained sound asleep.

Jinxi patted his butt again. Usually, Zanzan would jump up by this time, but this time he remained motionless.

She thought to herself, "How adorable that she dares to call out but not admit it!"

Jinxi stared at his ears for a while, and knew that Zhou Zan had learned to be more compliant to gentle persuasion than to force, so she had to take it slowly.

She turned over and turned off the light, plunging the room into darkness.

Zhou Yanqian breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, he was pulled into someone's arms.

Jinxi's arm was still across his waist as usual, but tonight she touched her own stomach and poked it with her finger.

Are you trying to use this trick to test whether he's asleep?

Sorry, even if you carry him around like a sandbag today, he'll just keep his eyes tightly shut!

Even if the Heavenly King himself came, it wouldn't make a difference!

To everyone's surprise, Jinxi simply held him in her arms as usual.

The room had the air conditioning on, so even when we were cuddling together, it wasn't hot at all; it was actually quite warm.

Jinxi said, "Baby, sleep flat, don't sleep on your side."

Zhou Yanqian remained silent. Jin Xi said, "I'll count to five. If you don't sleep flat, I'll tickle you."

"five."

Zhou Yanqian held his breath; he simply wouldn't!

"Four."

Zhou Yanqian snorted inwardly.

"three."

Zhou Yanqian began to hesitate.

"two."

Zhou Yanqian conceded defeat and silently lay down.

Then I heard Jinxi laughing.

Laugh, laugh, laugh! What's so funny?

He just felt that lying on his side squeezed his arm, and lying flat was more comfortable!

Jinxi kissed his little cheek firmly and said softly, "Even if you don't admit it, I'll still hold you while I sleep."

She hugged Zan Zan tightly: "Sleep well, sweet baby, goodnight."

Zhou Yanqian was held tightly in her arms. His body, which had been stiff, gradually relaxed, and he even moved closer to her.

Jinxi gently patted his side, thinking to herself, she knew this little rascal wasn't asleep!

Although Zhou Yanqian was not asleep at the moment, he fell asleep a few minutes later.

After listening to his steady breathing, Jinxi slowly withdrew her hand, moved it a little further away, and turned on her phone. However, she immediately turned off the phone's volume.

She happily read the novel for a while, and when she saw that it was almost time, she sent a message to Zhou Linxu.

[Xiao Xi: Have you gotten off the bus?]

As soon as Zhou Linxu and Goldman Sachs got out of the car, he felt his phone vibrate. He picked it up and glanced at it. When he saw that it was Jinxi's Xiaoxi, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

[Just got off the bus, are you guys still awake?]

[Xiao Xi: Zan Zan is asleep, I'm still playing on my phone.]

Goldman Sachs then said, "Mr. Zhou, the car is already waiting for us in the parking lot."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Linxu's face again, and seeing the slight upturn of his lips, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Is President Zhou some kind of mutated pervert?

They were all ready to go back and set the old house on fire, yet they could still laugh.

Zhou Linxu replied: 【Go to sleep early, I'm on my way too.】

He put away his phone and asked, "Is everything ready?"

Goldman Sachs nodded: "Don't worry, everything is ready."

Zhou Linxu said, "Let's go."

Goldman Sachs nodded and dutifully followed Zhou Linxu.

It was an hour later when they arrived at the old house.

Zhou Linxu had already told the housekeeper that he was going back to the old house in the afternoon. It was almost 11:30, but the old house was still brightly lit.

The car drove through the gate and came to a smooth stop at the gate about three minutes later.

He got out of the car, and the butler who was waiting nearby came to greet him.

Zhou Linxu glanced at him: "Uncle Qi, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"

Butler Qi smiled and said, "Lin Xu, of course I'll be waiting for you to come back."

As Zhou Linxu walked inside, Butler Qi whispered, "Your father and Zhang Lin are waiting for you inside. Your father's expression isn't very good."

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement, indicating that he understood.

He walked into the living room, where Zhou Jiansheng and Zhang Lin were indeed sitting on the sofa. The servants had already gone to bed, and the house was quiet.

After Zhou Linxu went inside, Zhang Lin's expression clearly shifted, as if she didn't want to face him directly.

Seeing his expression, Zhou Jiansheng finally stood up: "Linxu, you're back today, so rest at home."

"No need," Zhou Linxu said calmly. "Just sign the document, and I'll leave."

Sign? What should I sign?

Goldman Sachs had already taken the contract out of their briefcase; there were three copies of the contract.

Zhou Jiansheng picked it up and glanced at it. After just one glance, his expression turned extremely bad.

"Zhou Linxu, what do you mean by this?" Zhou Jiansheng gripped the contract tightly. "I'm not even dead yet, and you're already eyeing my shares?!"

Zhou Linxu sat down slowly and deliberately, and sneered, "So you do know you're not dead."

Zhou Jiansheng was so angry he wanted to jump up and down, but Zhang Lin sat down next to him and patted his back.

Zhou Jiansheng took a deep breath and said, "Linxu, today was purely an accident. Your Aunt Zhang..."

"Those two have already been taken in," Zhou Linxu said. "I will have a top-notch legal team handle this matter. Those who should be taken in will not be spared."

Zhang Lin quickly said, "Lin Xu, I... I really just happened to run into you. I was thinking that your dad hadn't seen Zan Zan in a long time. I really didn't mean to."

Zhou Linxu's expression remained unchanged: "Why don't you happen to run into me?"

I followed her for three days, but she said it was just a coincidence.

Zhang Lin moved her lips, looking at Zhou Jiansheng pleadingly.

Zhou Jiansheng sighed: "Linxu, we're all family, let's not make things so tense, let's have a good talk."

"I've signed it," Zhou Linxu said. "I don't have time to chat with you about everyday things."

Goldman Sachs then handed over a pen, reminding him, "Mr. Zhou has already collected all the evidence."
