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

Zhou Linxu had originally planned to rest after Jinxi came in, but he had been away on business and socializing for the past few days and hadn't had a good rest. Plus, he had just drunk some alcohol, so he really couldn't hold on any longer.

Zhou Linxu leaned against the headboard, his mind still a little foggy.

After playing a game of Candy Crush, Zhou Yanqian looked up at his elderly father, only to find him fast asleep against the headboard.

He scratched his head, puzzled, not understanding why his father wouldn't lie down and sleep.

This was the scene that greeted Jinxi when she opened the door. She looked at Zhou Linxu with some confusion, and was about to ask Zanzan when she saw Zhou Linxu open his eyes.

She closed the door, walked to his side, and asked, "Why aren't you lying down to rest?"

Zhou Linxu pinched the bridge of his nose: "I'll feel better if I lean against it for a while."

Jinxi, seeing him pinching the bridge of his nose, asked, "Are you dizzy?"

Zhou Linxu nodded slightly: "A little."

He mainly didn't get enough rest; otherwise, this amount of alcohol wouldn't have been enough to get him drunk.

Jinxi moved closer to him and whispered, "Then you should rest quickly, don't be so particular."

Zhou Linxu looked at the 1.8-meter bed. He could indeed sleep on it, but it would be inconvenient for Jin Xi.

They haven't reached that point yet.

Zhou Linxu sat down on the edge of the bed again. Jin Xi looked down at him, reached out her hand, and touched the back of her hand to his neck. It was very hot.

She was both amused and exasperated: "Don't drink like that again, you scared my parents half to death."

Zhou Linxu looked up at her, hesitated for a few seconds, and then took her hand that was trying to pull away, his hot palm holding her slightly cool wrist: "Don't drink like this anymore. Sit down, let's talk."

Jin Xi didn't understand what he wanted to say to her, and then she heard Zhou Linxu say, "I want to lean on you for a bit, is that okay?"

"Do as you please," Jinxi said. "It's comfortable leaning against something..."

Before she could finish her last word, she caught a glimpse of Zhou Linxu approaching her out of the corner of her eye.

His slightly flushed cheeks were pressed against her shoulder, and his forehead was pressed tightly against her side of the neck, making him look like a big bird nestled against her.

The burning body temperature made Jinxi stiffen, but after a few seconds, he adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable.

He thought to himself that he was really drunk this time; he would never be like this normally.

Jinxi raised her hand again, this time touching his face, and asked softly, "Do you want to wash your face? Your face is a little hot, shall I wring out a towel for you?"

Zhou Linxu opened his eyes, which had been closed, and took a deep breath: "No need, I'll be fine after leaning on it for a while."

So that's what "靠" means.

Jinxi thought he was going to lean against the headboard.

As Zhou Yanqian looked down and then up, he saw his father clinging to Xiao Xi.

He blinked and silently took pictures with his phone.

Oh, Xiao Xi!

Oh, my dear father!

They don't even know to carry the child on their backs.

Jinxi heard the clicking sound, turned around and looked at him: "Sweetie, do you want to take a nap?"

Zhou Yanqian wasn't sleepy at all, but Jinxi asked him to come over: "Come and massage your dad's shoulders, he's feeling a bit dizzy."

Zhou Yanqian sighed. To be honest, he just wanted to be invisible right now.

You two are dating, why are you calling him a kid?

However, Zhou Yanqian still crawled over, gave Zhou Linxu a perfunctory shoulder massage, and then crawled back to play games.

He lay on the bed, his back to the two of them, with his butt sticking out, looking like he didn't want to be disturbed.

Jinxi couldn't help but laugh: "Your son seems to dislike you a little."

"It's normal." Zhou Linxu pressed close to her. "He just said I smelled bad."

He thought for a moment and then said softly, "How about I go take a shower?"

"Don't cause any more trouble," Jinxi said. "Let's calm down for a bit."

Jinxi added, "Mom and Dad told us to go home after dinner."

Zhou Linxu closed his eyes: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Jinxi hummed in agreement, but then didn't know what to say next.

Zhou Linxu, on the contrary, became more talkative: "Mom and Dad live far away from us, and their old house is on the third floor, so it's inconvenient for them to climb up and down. Why don't you take them to look at properties when you have time, and buy one if you find a suitable one?"

"I own several properties, all of which are already renovated. You can take your parents to see them. If they like any of them, I can transfer the ownership directly to their names."

Jinxi listened to his arrangements. Zhou Linxu had previously mentioned that he would transfer some real estate to her.

However, after careful consideration, Jinxi declined.

After all, Zhou Linxu had already given her enough.

I didn't expect him to bring it up again now.

Jinxi said, "No need, they won't want it anyway."

Zhou Linxu straightened up slightly and looked at Jin Xi: "Why? Are you dissatisfied with me?"

Jinxi said, "They are very satisfied with you, don't worry."

Zhou Linxu was even more confused: "Then why can't you take my house? Are you still going to investigate me?"

Seeing that he seemed to be taking it seriously, Jinxi quickly said, "I haven't investigated, I haven't investigated, don't overthink it."

"I'm not overthinking anything." Zhou Linxu said, then leaned weakly against her again: "I won't feel at ease if you don't want my things."

My unease is showing.

Jinxi hesitated for a moment, but finally comforted him, saying, "Mom and Dad know you mean well. Don't worry, I'll make the arrangements."

Actually, she had considered buying a house before. After all, she was living in a villa because the two of them were husband and wife. When the contract expired, she couldn't just stay there.

So from the beginning, she planned to look at properties once the martial arts gym was on track. She didn't need to buy a big one, just one that could accommodate her and Zan Zan, who would occasionally come to stay.

Now that my parents are here, the house naturally needs to be bigger.

Zhou Linxu said "oh" and looked down at Jinxi's fingers casually resting on her lap. He couldn't help but reach out and hold them.

Jinxi instinctively tried to pull back, but Zhou Linxu held her tightly.

Heavens, why is Zhou Linxu in such a drunken state?

If this continues, she'll find it hard to keep up.

Zhou Linxu whispered, "Xiao Xi."

Jinxi snapped out of her daze: "What?"

Zhou Linxu closed his eyes: "Zhou Chen is Zhou Jiansheng's biological son."

Jinxi, not controlling her volume, exclaimed, "Huh?!"

Zhou Yanqian suddenly sat up in bed, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Jinxi turned around and said, "It's okay, you can continue playing."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh" and lay back down, still in a comfortable sleeping position with his butt sticking out.

Zhou Linxu was not surprised by Jin Xi's reaction at all. He was now very close to Jin Xi, even closer than during the little incident in the morning. Every breath he took was filled with her scent.

He felt at ease.

Seeing that Zan Zan didn't intend to pay attention to them, Jin Xi whispered, "What's going on? Didn't you say it wasn't true before?"

Zhou Linxu said, "Zhou Jiansheng tampered with things."

Jinxi was surprised. Could this really be tampered with?

But before this bombshell could even be fully digested, another one was already popping up.

Zhou Linxu continued in a low voice, "Zhou Jiansheng has another one outside, and she's three months pregnant."

Jin Xi gasped.

Zhou Linxu's voice was flat: "But he's just a sucker who takes over."

Jinxi: ...

Why are there so many melons coming out of Old Zhou's house? There's just no way we can finish them all!
