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

Zhou Yanqian was woken up by the ringing of the little genius's alarm.

He sat up groggily, looked around, and then remembered that he was at his grandmother's house.

Jinxi was no longer in the bedroom; he was alone on the bed.

So, who gave him the Little Genius card first thing in the morning?!

Zhou Yanqian picked up the Little Genius phone unhappily; the word "Dad" was displayed on the screen.

He frowned, clearly very unhappy.

He answered the phone: "What!"

Hearing his son's soft, slightly angry voice on the other end of the phone, Zhou Linxu knew that his eldest son was still asleep.

He asked, "Baby, do you have any clothes to change into?"

Zhou Yanqian thought his father was sick, calling early in the morning to ask if he had any clothes to change into.

He closed his eyes, slumped back onto the pillow, and mumbled, "Xiao Xi will change it for me."

Zhou Linxu said, "Okay, I'll deliver it to you."

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," then belatedly realized what he meant: "What did you say?"

Zhou Linxu said, "Dad will bring you a change of clothes later."

Zhou Yanqian: ?

Then what did you just ask? When did I ask you to bring me clothes?

Zhou Yanqian felt it was too early and his mind was a little foggy. He hummed twice and said, "Whatever you want."

Zhou Linxu said, "I'll be there in half an hour."

Zhou Yanqian really wanted to ask, "Since you're coming all this way, why did you call me?"

Zhou Linxu said, "You should get up early too, so you can leave a good impression on your grandparents..."

What are you babbling about?

Zhou Yanqian hung up the Little Genius app, put it aside, and prepared to continue sleeping.

But then the bedroom door opened.

Jinxi asked, "Baby, are you awake?"

She had just heard some noises inside, so she opened the door and saw little Zhou Zanzan with her two chubby legs propped up on the blanket and half her face hidden in the pillow. But judging from her expression, she seemed a little unhappy.

That's strange. Nobody woke him up this early in the morning, so why is he upset again?

Zhou Yanqian opened his eyes, knowing that he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep this time.

He took a deep breath and sat up again.

Jinxi watched him sitting on the bed. Because of the large neckline, his T-shirt had become an off-shoulder style, revealing his fair and tender shoulders.

She went in and stood by the bed: "Come here, I'll take you to brush your teeth and wash your face. Your grandfather's chicken noodle soup will be served soon."

Zhou Yanqian took a deep breath and opened the door. Sure enough, there was the smell of chicken soup in the air.

He got up and stood by the bed, and Jinxi hugged him.

He casually rested his face on her shoulder, squeezing his soft cheeks into a pancake shape.

Zhou Yanqian leaned weakly against Jin Xi's chest, his mind not yet fully clear.

Jinxi took a sniff: "The chicken flavor is awesome!"

Zhou Yanqian thought to himself, what chicken flavor? He only smelled the aroma of chicken soup.

Jinxi patted his bottom and couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong? You've turned into a little thunderclap again, haven't you?"

Zhou Yanqian sighed heavily and muttered, "Old Zhou is going to bring me clothes."

Jinxi said "Oh," and added, "Fine, I'll give it to you then—"

She suddenly paused, then pulled Zan Zan out of her arms.

Zhou Yanqian opened his eyes unhappily. Why is Xiaoxi so easily startled today?

Jinxi asked, "What did you say?"

Zhou Yanqian breathed a sigh of relief, now fully awake even if he didn't want to: "Old Zhou is coming to bring me clothes."

She had barely finished speaking when her cell phone rang in the living room.

Yang Hongyan called out, "Honey, your phone is ringing."

Jinxi responded and turned to go out to get her phone.

Zhou Yanqian stood there blankly on the bed. "Hello? Aren't you going to take care of the baby?"

Jinxi already guessed who had called her, but when she actually saw Zhou Linxu's name, she couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart.

Yang Hongyan asked, "Who is it that's looking for you so early in the morning?"

Jinxi said, "...Praise his father."

Before Yang Hongyan could ask any more questions, Jin Xi had already rushed back to the second bedroom with her phone.

Jinxi closed the door before answering the phone.

Zhou Linxu said on the other end of the phone, "Good morning, Xiaoxi."

Jinxi scratched her head: "Good morning. Oh, by the way, Zanzan said you were going to send him clothes?"

Zhou Yanqian had already squatted down next to her, his ear pressed against the phone, intently listening to Zhou Linxu's speech.

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement: "He said he had no clothes to wear and asked me to bring him some."

Jinxi looked at Zanzan with a puzzled expression: "Really?"

Zhou Yanqian was holding his breath, but when Jin Xi looked over, he still managed to nod reluctantly.

How infuriating! He knew his father would try to pin the blame on him! He's completely stopped pretending!

Zhou Linxu asked, "Is it convenient? Or I can bring it downstairs and you can come down and pick it up."

"You're already downstairs, why aren't you coming up?" Jinxi said, "I'll send you my location. Call me when you get there, and I'll come down to meet you."

Zhou Linxu agreed, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Wouldn't that be too much of a bother for Mom and Dad? How about I just take them downstairs and visit them later when everything is ready?"

Upon hearing this, Jinxi lost all interest.

She said, "Don't bother them. They also want to see you. I was planning to wait until I got back today to discuss the meeting with you. Since you're here to deliver clothes, just come upstairs."

"Okay," Zhou Linxu said. "Do you want me to bring your clothes?"

Jinxi thought for a moment and said, "I'll bring one set."

Zhou Linxu nodded, "I'll have Butler Zhao go get it."

Jinxi agreed and then asked, "Have you eaten before coming over?"

"Eat and come over," Zhou Linxu said. "Do you need me to bring breakfast?"

"No need, I was just asking." Jinxi murmured, "It's only eight o'clock now, it takes about forty minutes to drive here from home, and it won't be too congested today since it's Saturday... You can arrive at ten o'clock, I'll prepare them mentally first, and they'll have lunch at home."

"Okay, I'll do as you say," Zhou Linxu said. "See you later."

Jinxi hung up the phone and turned her head to look at Zanzan, who was squatting next to her.

Zhou Zanzan remained serious, his lips even pouting so much they could hold an oil bottle.

Jinxi put her phone aside: "Are you not used to wearing this outfit?"

The weather is nice now, so the clothes were washed last night and hung on the balcony overnight. They're drying in the sun now, so they'll be dry by the time they get back.

Moreover, she saw that Zan Zan was dressed very comfortably, and that he slept soundly last night, and even gave her two kicks in the early hours of the morning, showing how free he was.

Zhou Yanqian only had two words to say at this moment: Furious!

But he couldn't bring himself to say it, and in the end he could only nod sheepishly: "Yeah, I'm not used to it... Xiao Xi, I'm hungry."

There was nothing he could do; that was his human-machine father! What else could he do but accept him as his father?

Jinxi gave him a flick on the forehead: "You!"

He then got out of bed and said, "Come on, I'll take you to brush your teeth and wash your face."

Zhou Yanqian nodded, put on his slippers, and went to wash up with Jinxi.

By the time they finished washing up, the chicken noodle soup was ready.

The chicken noodle soup was very fragrant, with a delicious egg. Even the crispy pork that we didn't finish last night was cooked in it. After soaking up the soup, it became soft and tender, with a unique flavor. My grandma's house also had something that looked like garlic.

He asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"Shallots," Jinxi said. "You can take a bite; they're very refreshing."

Zhou Yanqian opened his mouth and took a bite. It was crisp and sour, and his face couldn't help but twist in pain. But after chewing it a couple of times, he tasted a hint of sweetness.

He slurped up a mouthful of noodles while holding the baby chopsticks. How come he knows how to combine them so well?

The crisp and tangy pickled scallions perfectly balance the richness of the chicken noodle soup.

Jinxi said, "There are other kinds of kimchi too, try them all, but don't eat too much."

Jin Dahai smiled and said, "I thought my darling wouldn't be able to eat it, but as expected of our Jin family's son! He's just different!"

Zhou Yanqian nodded. Yes, that's right!

Yang Hongyan said, "Eat slowly, my dear, chew your food carefully."

Zhou Yanqian nodded again, "Yes, yes, I've always been chewing slowly!"

After they had almost finished eating, Jinxi said, "Mom and Dad, um, Zan's dad is coming over later."
