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

After Jinxi finished drying her hair, she took out their dirty clothes and put them into a sealed bag that she had prepared beforehand.

The hotel also has a washing machine and a place to dry clothes, but Jinxi doesn't like washing her things outside and drying them outside; she doesn't feel safe doing so.

She planned to leave her dirty clothes at the hotel until the end of the month and take them back to wash when she left.

After she finished everything, she found that Zan Zan was sitting cross-legged next to her phone, her little face scrunched up, seemingly lost in thought.

Jinxi asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You look unhappy."

She stretched out her hands and rubbed Zanzan's smiling face: "Little friend, you shouldn't always be unhappy at such a young age."

Zhou Yanqian slapped her hand away: "Someone called you."

Someone called her?

Jinxi picked up her phone and saw that Zhou Linxu had called her five minutes earlier, but she was blow-drying her hair at the time and hadn't heard it.

She quickly called him back.

Fortunately, the other party answered quickly.

The moment the call connected, Jinxi couldn't help but become more serious: "I was just blow-drying my hair and didn't hear the phone ring, I'm sorry."

Upon hearing her explanation, Zhou Linxu on the other end of the phone simply hummed in response: "Nothing else, just wanted to ask if you've arrived yet?"

A familiar voice rang in her ears, and Jinxi thought to herself, "It must be asking about Zanzan's condition, right?"

It seems he took her words about being worried about the child not adapting to the new environment to heart.

Jinxi also glanced at Zanzan beside her. The little boy seemed to be completely absorbed in the cartoon, staring at the TV without blinking, as if he didn't care about the phone call at all. If he could sit further away, his "indifference" would be more convincing.

It seems that Zan Zan hasn't been in contact with Zhou Linxu for a long time.

Zhou Linxu has been away from home for almost two months since he left. The housekeeper, Zhao, reports on Zanzan's daily situation.

But no one reports to Zan Zan what his father is doing right now.

Jinxi was very perceptive. She said softly, "We've arrived, and Zanzan is with us. Would you like to talk to him for a while?"

Zhou Linxu was silent for a few seconds, which was unusual, before finally saying, "Thank you for your help."

Jinxi said, "Then I'll turn on the speakerphone."

She turned the speaker on, then used the remote to lower the volume of the cartoon, and stretched out her hand holding the phone, bringing it closer to Zan Zan.

Jinxi said, "Zanzan, it's Dad on the other end of the phone. He misses you and wants to talk to you."

Zhou Yanqian glanced down at his lit phone; the call duration was increasing second by second, but he didn't speak.

Jinxi coughed lightly, just about to speak up and remind Zhou Linxu to speak, when the person on the other end of the phone said, "Zanzan, can you hear Daddy?"

The man's voice softened unconsciously, and not hearing Zan Zan's reply, he showed unusual patience: "Zan Zan?"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang in his ears, and Zhou Yanqian's originally calm heart suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

He turned his face away and remained silent.

I don't know who she's angry with.

Zhou Linxu seemed to have given up on getting a response from Zan Zan. He continued, "Dad is currently attending a financial conference in the US and may not be home for another week. When I get back, I'll buy you a new toy."

Even the most serious man speaks softly when facing cubs.

Jinxi looked at Zanzan's stubborn appearance. At this moment, he only showed his profile to the phone. From Jinxi's angle, all she could see was his chubby cheeks, and she couldn't see his expression.

Jinxi withdrew her hand and said proactively, "Zanzan now has a children's watch that can answer calls. I'll send you the number later, so you can call him directly whenever you miss him."

Now that Jinxi had spoken, Zhou Linxu had guessed what Zanzan was thinking.

She's angry.

He felt a pang of guilt and helplessness, and said, "Okay."

Jinxi added, "Zanzan is amazing now. He eats without any trouble, he'll eat anything you give him. He also gets up early every morning to exercise with me. He's just a little lazy, though, he wants to use his scooter everywhere he goes."

"Slide car?" This seemed to be in Zhou Linxu's blind spot.

Jinxi nodded and deliberately raised her voice to praise, "Yes, he's amazing. And he's even learning to skateboard! How come our Zanzan is so talented? While other kids are still watching cartoons, our Zanzan is already reading financial news."

Zhou Linxu on the other end of the phone seemed to chuckle softly, a laugh that drew Zan Zan's attention.

Zhou Yanqian turned around, annoyed, and said into the phone, "What gives you the right to laugh!"

Jinxi hadn't expected the little guy to talk to Zhou Linxu so angrily. Just as she was about to explain, Zhou Linxu spoke first on the other end of the phone: "Daddy is happy. Zanzan is so amazing, and Daddy didn't get to see it. It's a pity. When Daddy comes back, Zanzan will watch the news with Daddy, okay?"

"Who wants to watch this with you?" Zhou Yanqian muttered under his breath, but the phone's reception was excellent, and Zhou Linxu heard it clearly.

It seems they're really angry this time.

But Zhou Linxu was helpless. He said a few more words, but still received no response from Zanzan.

Jinxi knew the child was determined not to answer, so she took the phone back and said gently, "Zanzan has been running around all day and is tired. Let's talk when you get back. I'll send you his phone number."

Zan Zan's watch now only has her and Butler Zhao's phone numbers. Other children, once they learn something, can't wait to show it off to the whole world.

Zan Zan has learned to make phone calls using a watch, but has no one to share it with.

Fortunately, there's still Zhou Linxu.

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement: "Thank you for your hard work."

Jinxi quickly replied, "It's not hard work, Zanzan is very sensible."

The two had nothing more to say, and Jinxi hung up the phone.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Zhou Yanqian climbed into bed, pulled back the covers, and looked like he was going to sleep.

They're still being stubborn.

Jinxi ignored him for the time being, and first sent Zanzan's phone number to Zhou Linxu. She also found a video on her phone of her taking Zanzan to the park to ride a scooter before, and sent it to Zhou Linxu as well.

Zhou Linxu replied quickly this time: 【Thank you for your hard work.】

Just as Jinxi was about to reply with a "It's not hard work" message, a bank text message came in.

She clicked on it with suspicion and discovered that a million had been deposited into her account!

Jinxi couldn't help but scream.

The sound startled Zhou Yanqian. He got out of bed and looked at Jin Xi, who was covering her mouth and looking shocked at the foot of the bed.

He asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Jinxi finally snapped out of her daze. She immediately took off her shoes and got into bed. Despite Zhou Yanqian's resistant gaze, she hugged him tightly and rubbed her cheek against the little dumpling's face twice: "Baby, baby, baby! You are truly my little lucky star!"

Hahaha! A million dollars for nothing!! Hahaha!!!

Zhou Yanqian: ...

You're insane!!!
