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

After dinner, the family sat at the table for a while.

Jinxi paid the bill and then said, "Let's go, we'll shop around for a bit and then head back."

After eating, Zhou Yanqian became a little lazy, and he walked unsteadily while holding Jinxi's hand.

Jinxi looked down and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Yanqian hesitated. If it were just Jinxi alone, he would have said it directly, but his grandparents were there. If he said it, it would seem like he wasn't a good boy.

Although he didn't want to be a good kid, he felt he had to be filial to his elders.

This is politeness.

Little did he know that his awkward expression had already been seen through by everyone. Jinxi continued to ask, "Are you sleepy?"

Zan Zan woke up exceptionally early today and was full of energy in the morning. Moreover, Zan Zan has a habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, so after eating, he should be sleepy now.

Just as Zhou Yanqian was about to say no, he was picked up.

Jin Dahai hugged him: "Grandpa is holding our little darling."

Zhou Yanqian looked at his grandfather and swung his leg: "Grandpa, I can walk by myself."

Jin Dahai hugged him tightly: "Grandpa wants to hold Xiaoguai, so let Grandpa hold her."

Zhou Yanqian nodded and obediently nestled on his shoulder. Since his grandfather wanted to hold him, he would let him.

Jinxi chuckled to herself, took Yang Hongyan's hand, and the mother and daughter chatted and laughed as they walked out.

Just then, an uncertain voice suddenly came from behind.

"This... this year?"

This sound drew everyone's attention, and Zhou Yanqian even propped his head up, his round eyes becoming somewhat "sharp".

Because the voice calling Jinxi is a male voice.

Jinxi looked over and saw a man dressed in casual clothes.

Jinxi noticed a hint of confusion flash across his face, but after staring at his face for a while, a few images flashed through her mind, and she remembered the person in front of her.

He was a senior from the original owner's university days, named Li Yuyan.

When Jin Xi looked over, Li Yuyan's expression changed from uncertainty to surprise and happiness. He took two steps toward Jin Xi, closing the distance between them.

He said, "What a coincidence! I didn't even recognize you just now, but it really is you."

Jin Xi smiled and said, "Senior, it's been a long time."

The two shook hands, and Li Yuyan immediately sensed an intense gaze fixed on him.

He looked over in confusion and saw a child staring straight at him.

Li Yuyan asked, "What is this?"

Jinxi said frankly, "My parents, this is my son, his name is Zanzan."

son?

Li Yuyan did the math: Jin Xi is a year younger than her, and has only graduated two years ago, right?

Even if you got married and had children right after graduation, it's impossible to have such a big, fat son, right?

Zhou Yanqian was very unhappy as he watched the person sizing him up.

Who is this person who dares to stare at him like that!

Zhou Yanqian was a little annoyed. If his grandparents weren't around, he would have just dragged Jinxi away.

Upon closer inspection, this person has the same vibe as those men wiggling their butts in Jinxi's phone!

Why are all these people inexplicably crowding around Jinxi?

Li Yuyan quickly averted his gaze and naturally greeted them, "What a coincidence! Good afternoon, Uncle and Aunt. Have you both eaten yet?"

Yang Hongyan smiled and said, "We've already eaten."

Li Yuyan then asked, "Xiao Xi, what a coincidence! What have you been busy with lately?"

Jin Xi said, "I haven't been busy with anything. What about you, senior?"

If the original owner's memories are correct, this Li Yuyan seems to have gone abroad right after graduation, which was about three years ago. How come he's back so soon?

Li Yuyan said, "My job has been transferred back."

Jinxi smiled and said, "Congratulations, senior, you're finally back."

"Yes, I always miss home when I'm away. I'm so glad to be back." Li Yuyan's gaze unconsciously swept over the child who was staring straight at him, and he smiled and said, "I won't bother your family any longer. I just got back. Let's make another appointment after I've settled in."

Jinxi nodded: "Okay, let's make time again sometime."

Li Yuyan smiled at the two elders again, then turned to leave. But after taking only a couple of steps, he turned back and asked, "You're still using the same WeChat account as before, right?"

Jinxi paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

After she transmigrated, she still kept many of the original owner's things; she didn't change her WeChat or anything like that.

Li Yuyan raised his arm and waved slightly: "See you later."

Jinxi waved goodbye before walking back with Yang Hongyan and the others.

Yang Hongyan asked, "Who is that person?"

Jin Xi said, "It's a college alumnus, but we're not very close."

Yang Hongyan said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

Zhou Yanqian leaned on his grandfather's shoulder, half believing and half doubting, "Are we really not familiar with each other?"

But he felt that the man's eyes lit up when he saw Xiaoxi.

And why does he have to call her Xiao Xi?

They entered the elevator, and Jinxi raised her hand to touch Zanzan's face: "It's warm. If you're hot, come down and walk by yourself."

Zhou Yanqian simply hugged his grandfather a little tighter, and Jinxi couldn't help but pat his soft buttocks sticking out.

Jin Dahai spun Zan Zan around halfway around, holding him in his arms: "Why did you spank Xiao Guai's bottom?"

Zhou Yanqian grumbled and started complaining: "She always bullies kids and spanks me all the time."

Yang Hongyan also slapped Jinxi's bottom: "You big bad guy."

Jinxi started whining now: "Zhou Zanzan, you're doomed. Tonight I'm going to hang you up and spank you."

Zhou Yanqian pursed his lips. He was able to keep it in check at first, but the more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he burst out laughing.

He was happy whenever Xiaoxi and Xiaoxu were at a disadvantage, and he automatically ignored the second half of Jinxi's sentence.

Jinxi exclaimed dramatically, "Hey, you little rascal, still laughing?"

Jin Xi raised both hands and slapped his butt with both hands. Zhou Yanqian laughed and twisted his body. Jin Dahai almost lost his balance: "Oh my goodness, you're really strong."

Yang Hongyan stopped Jinxi: "You're a grown woman, let's go, we're out of the elevator."

Zhou Yanqian buried his face in his grandfather's shoulder, but touched his bottom with one little hand. Although it didn't hurt at all, it was still too embarrassing for a child.

He let out a pitiful groan, and Jin Dahai said, "Alright, alright, Mom didn't mean it."

She did it on purpose.

Zhou Yanqian felt more and more aggrieved. He vowed never to be friends with Xiao Xi again today. It hurt her heart to spank her.

He was just being too lenient with Xiaoxi!

Completely forgetting that I was the one who complained first (′д｀σ)σ.

Jin Dahai carried Zan Zan out of the elevator. The restaurant Jin Xi had booked was next to the shopping mall closest to their home.

It's getting warmer now, and it's a bit better when I go into the mall.

Jin Dahai put Zan Zan down, and seeing this, Jin Xi slightly raised her arm: "Let me hold your hand."

Today is Sunday, and the mall is crowded. Zan Zan is a child, so it's more appropriate to hold his hand while we walk.

Zhou Yanqian glanced at her and thought to himself, "Now that my grandparents are here, I'll give Xiaoxi another chance."

Then, reluctantly, she stretched out her soft, dough-like little hand.
