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

Noon.

Today, the Manchu Han Imperial Feast has begun.

The happiest person was Zhou Yanqian, who was like a little chick that had fallen into a rice jar and could peck at it endlessly.

Rabbit, rabbit...

Rabbit is really delicious! Although it's spicy, it's very tasty!

Zhou Yanqian ate several pieces while they weren't looking.

Jinxi noticed and put some shrimp on his plate, saying, "Eat less spicy food, your stomach is still too small. Eat some shrimp."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh" and then buried his head in his shrimp.

Yang Hongyan also put a chicken leg on his plate: "Eat more, little one, you'll grow taller if you eat more."

Zhou Yanqian hummed twice more. The chicken soup had been simmering for three hours, and the meat was now tender. He could just gently tear off a piece of the chicken leg and put it in his mouth. He wondered if it was because of the red dates, but the chicken leg still tasted sweet.

Jin Dahai also said, "Xiao Zhou, don't just stand there, eat more, you're so thin."

Zhou Linxu nodded: "Dad, you eat too."

As he spoke, he poured wine for Jin Dahai. The wine was brought by him this morning and had been sobering up for a while, so it was just right to drink now.

Jin Dahai took a sip: "Good wine indeed."

Zhou Linxu raised his glass: "I'm sorry to have troubled you and Mom with this sudden visit. I'd like to toast you and Mom."

After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Jin Dahai sighed, "What's so hard about it?"

Yang Hongyan also said, "Yes, Linxu, just come directly next time. Don't buy anything. Your dad and I don't usually eat much."

Zhou Linxu poured himself another glass. There were no wine glasses at home, only water glasses. He filled his glass to the brim and raised it again: "I know it's too casual to make promises, but I just hope my parents can give me more chances. If I do anything wrong, I will correct it."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

Jinxi was stunned when she saw it, and even Zanzan raised his head. Why was her father suddenly so fierce?

He chewed on the chicken leg meat, thinking, "Never mind, my father knows what he's doing anyway."

Zhou Yanqian has become obsessed with food again.

Seeing that he was about to pour more wine, Jinxi quickly reached out and grabbed his wrist: "Are you drinking wine like water? Drink less."

Yang Hongyan also advised, "We know how you feel, just drink a little less. We're all family, why be so polite?"

Their imposing manner left everyone speechless.

Zhou Linxu still filled his cup to the brim, and said gently, "Don't mention it. This is my first time visiting, so it's only right."

Secretary Wen told him on WeChat that when a son-in-law visits his parents, he needs to show them his sincerity.

But life goes on one day at a time; you can't see someone's entire life in just one meeting.

After much deliberation, Zhou Linxu realized he needed to adjust his attitude.

He and Xiaoxi are currently in a fake marriage, but that may not be the case in the future.

He picked up his glass again: "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for accepting me. I'd like to toast you both again."

Jinxi grabbed his hand again: "Mom and Dad know, please don't drink anymore."

Zhou Linxu replied earnestly, "You'll have to finish it eventually, don't worry."

He couldn't feel at ease until he finished drinking it.

Jinxi had no choice but to return her hand.

Indeed, Zhou Linxu knew what was going on.

Jinxi ate her food silently, but couldn't help wondering, does this seem like she has a plan?

Moreover, Zhou Linxu basically doesn't drink at home. He only drinks a few glasses when he goes out for social occasions, but that's all.

Seeing him drinking so voraciously like water now, it's hard to imagine his previous aloof and refined demeanor.

Jin Dahai said, "Little Zhou, you really have a huge capacity for tolerance."

He gave a thumbs up: "But drink less, we don't do this in our family."

It was truly their first time meeting their son-in-law, and they hadn't even expected to meet him so soon. They were unfamiliar with many of the procedures, but Zhou Linxu went through them smoothly as soon as he sat down, leaving them somewhat caught off guard.

Zhou Linxu finally felt a little less pressure: "Okay, I'll listen to Mom and Dad."

Jinxi frantically piled food onto his plate, saying, "Eat up, eat up!"

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement and picked up some food for her as well: "Don't just focus on me, you should eat too."

Yang Hongyan and Jin Dahai exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "What else is there to say? The young couple is so sweet together."

The family enjoyed the meal quite a bit. It was then that Jinxi saw another side of Zhou Linxu. He had completely shed his usual sharpness. Although he was not very talkative, his humility was still evident.

After lunch, Jin Dahai and Yang Hongyan were increasingly pleased with him.

Although she has a child, the child is well-behaved and obedient, and not spoiled at all.

Moreover, it's clear that both father and son are quite attached to Xiaoxi, which puts their minds at ease.

Moreover, Zhou Linxu ate almost the entire bottle of red wine, and after the meal, he insisted on cleaning up.

She's in such great shape, it's hard to believe it's her.

Yang Hongyan said, "No need for you, no need for you. You go and rest. The two of us can do it."

This kid is too honest. He drank right away without any hesitation, and he looks a bit drunk now.

Jinxi had just finished telling Zanzan to turn on the air conditioner in the second bedroom when she saw Zhou Linxu starting to work diligently again. She quickly took his hand with one hand and naturally put her other hand on his waist.

Zhou Linxu looked down at the hand around his waist, then turned to look at Jin Xi.

Jinxi said, "Go back inside. We don't need you here."

Zhou Linxu honestly replied with an "oh".

Now Xi understands that even the best wine can be intoxicating, especially since that bottle of wine is 48 degrees.

Jin Xi thought to herself, "Does she really need to be this dedicated?"

I should have known better than to give him those unnecessary instructions this morning.

Zhou Linxu leaned most of his body against Jin Xi and asked in a low voice, "Did I embarrass you?"

"I didn't lose it, I didn't lose it." Jinxi said irritably, "You've really grown too big for your britches."

They couldn't dissuade him even with three people; they must have some serious skills.

Zhou Yanqian was standing at the door of the second bedroom. This was the first time he had ever seen his father like this, and it was quite a novel experience.

He stood at the door looking back and forth, and when his father passed by, he even took the time to reach out and pat his face.

Zhou Yanqian's two light eyebrows furrowed. Even when he was drunk, he still remembered to bully children!

Jinxi helped him sit down on the edge of the bed: "Rest for a while, I'll go help them tidy up."

Just as she was about to leave, Zhou Linxu grabbed her hand.

Jinxi turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell somewhere?"

Zhou Linxu first looked down at the cozy pink bed, then asked, "Is it not appropriate for me to sleep in your bed?"

Jinxi tilted her head and said helplessly, "It's okay, you go to sleep. We're husband and wife."

Don't get so drunk that you forget you're going to be a real couple.

Zhou Linxu held her hand like that, and after hearing what she said, he even blinked a little slower.

I have no idea what he's thinking right now.

Jinxi thought for a moment and simply pushed him down, and Zhou Linxu lay there stiffly.

He lay down on the 1.8-meter-wide bed, feeling as if he were squeezed in.

Zhou Linxu looked at her with some confusion, and Jin Xi said, "Alright, you've already lain down, don't think about it anymore."

Zhou Linxu felt that he might have really drunk too much today. He was so focused on not losing face, and with such an important matter as meeting the parents, his brain wasn't functioning properly.

He braced his elbows against the bed, propping his upper body up slightly: "Xiao Xi, you're practically a giant of action."

Simple and straightforward.

Jinxi chuckled and extended her hand to him: "It's better than just rambling on and on with you."

Zhou Linxu looked at the jade-like hand hovering in the air, then freed one hand and grasped it.
