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

Jinxi hugged him tightly and asked in his ear, "What's wrong? Are you shy?"

Zhou Yanqian remained silent, while Jin Xi said, "It's only natural to fall in love with a beauty like me, there's no need to be shy."

Zhou Yanqian raised his hand and gently pounded his arm. He wasn't shy at all!

He was clearly careless and caught off guard!

Xiao Xi is too shrewd; you can easily fall into her trap without even realizing it.

Zhou Yanqian was so angry that he wanted to do a tap dance in the office, but he was too embarrassed to show his face, since he was the one who had just given the answer.

Jinxi watched him punch her and couldn't help but chuckle, "What's wrong? Why are you punching my chest with your little fists?"

The key is Zan Zan's soft little hands, which can truly be called "little fists".

Zhou Yanqian raised his head and immediately pinched her mouth shut: "You're not allowed to talk."

Before you say it, do you even think about whether your child wants to hear it?

Even if it's made of dough, it still has a temper!

Zhou Linxu had finished packing his things and came over, asking, "What happened now?"

Jinxi gave Zhou Linxu a meaningful look while mumbling something unintelligible.

Zhou Yanqian raised his other hand as well: "You can't talk!"

The next second, he was picked up by his elderly father.

Zhou Linxu said, "Are you being naughty again?"

Zhou Yanqian was about to pinch his mouth again, but Zhou Linxu easily grabbed his arm: "Have you forgotten something?"

Zhou Yanqian was taken aback. What had he forgotten?

Zhou Linxu asked, "Do you love me?"

Zhou Yanqian: ...

They're both so shameless!

Who would chase after a child asking if they love them?

Moreover, Zhou Linxu's words also implied that he had just heard it, and upon hearing it, he called him mischievous, just like Xiao Xi, both of them full of bad intentions.

Jinxi turned slightly to the side and lay on the sofa: "I think he would definitely say he doesn't love me."

Zhou Linxu asked doubtfully, "So certain? Then I guess he'll say he loves me."

Jin Xi raised an eyebrow: "Shall we bet?"

"A bet," Zhou Linxu asked. "What kind of bet?"

Jinxi thought for a moment: "What do you suggest we bet on?"

Zhou Linxu also began to think, something he rarely did; he lacked nothing materially...

Zhou Linxu said, "Let's bet a meal."

Jinxi said no problem: "Let's add a restriction: I have to cook it myself. I can't just give Zanzan baby any random thing."

Zhou Linxu nodded, agreeing with Xiao Xi: "No problem."

The two adults settled the bet in just a few words, completely disregarding the thoughts of the person involved.

Zhou Yanqian was speechless. Did those two even care about him? They were being so blatant, not even bothering to hide it.

Zhou Linxu held him and asked, "Baby, do you love Daddy?"

Zhou Yanqian kept his little mouth tightly shut.

Jinxi said, "Baby, hurry up and tell us, we're all all ears."

Both of their eyes were sparkling, and Zhou Yanqian was a little overwhelmed by their gaze.

What are you all doing? What are you all doing?

Zhou Yanqian moved his lips twice, but ultimately didn't say anything. He just buried his head on his shoulder and started acting like a little ostrich again.

We insist he speak, but he just won't!

Zhou Linxu pinched his dangling calf: "Why aren't you talking? You were quite talkative just now."

He had witnessed Zan Zan's transformation firsthand.

She used to be quiet and reserved, but now she can talk back and forth with Xiaoxi.

Why is he acting all taciturn again when it comes to him?

Jinxi also got up and stretched slightly: "It seems that this bet is deadlocked."

Zhou Linxu tilted his head slightly, kissed Zan Zan's exposed ear, and then whispered, "You win."

Jinxi tilted her head, and Zhou Linxu said, "After all, he just said he loves you, so you win a little."

"Great!" Jinxi said with a smile, "Looks like I'm in for a treat this weekend."

Zhou Yanqian naturally felt Zhou Linxu kiss him, but he didn't expect him to let Xiao Xi win.

For some reason, he felt a tightness in his chest and didn't say that Xiao Xi's win was bad.

Can't it be a win-win situation?

However, the two adults were not affected in any way. Zhou Linxu was holding Zan Zan, and Jin Xi naturally helped him pick up his briefcase.

Zhou Linxu glanced at it and said, "Let's go."

Jin Xi nodded and followed Zhou Linxu out of the office.

Zhou Yanqian, who had been leaning on his father's shoulder, now stood up and looked around the president's office like a young lion patrolling its territory.

Before the cub Zan Zan could even take a few more glances at its territory, it was carried away by the male lion Zhou Linxu.

But those few glances were enough to hurt Zhou Yanqian.

Sigh, the thought of having to work this hard more than ten years from now suddenly made him not want to grow up anymore.

And it's strange, when he first came back, he only felt that being President Zhou was his mission.

Now he doesn't want to be CEO Zhou anymore; he just wants to be a happy parasite.

Zhou Yanqian glanced at the notice posted next to the elevator and pursed his lips.

He then looked at Zhou Linxu's face.

But the old father wasn't looking at her now; he was just tilting his head slightly and talking softly to Xiaoxi.

Jinxi was the first to notice Zanzan's gaze and reminded him, "Your son wants to speak."

Zhou Linxu then looked at him again and asked, "Baby, what's wrong?"

Zhou Yanqian pointed to the words on the notice: "What does it say?"

Zhou Linxu glanced at him and said, "This month's physical examination is to check everyone's health."

Every June is the health check-up month for the Zhou Group. From the beginning to the end of June, the check-ups are arranged for each department.

Zhou Yanqian was of course aware of this; the company spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on medical checkups every year.

But that wasn't what he was thinking. He asked, "Are you getting checked too?"

"I don't need a checkup," Zhou Linxu said. "Dad sets aside time every year for a physical exam. It's not just me, but also you and Xiaoxi, Grandpa and Grandma. We all need to have physical exams to check if there are any problems with our health, so that we can address them in time."

Zhou Yanqian felt somewhat relieved after hearing this.

He gets a physical exam every year, so why...?

Zhou Yanqian genuinely couldn't remember.

If only I had written these things down the day I was reborn.

As Jinxi watched the conversation between the father and son, she couldn't help but think of Zhou Linxu's ending in the novel.

At his age, he could be considered to have died young.

Last time he broke his leg, the doctor said he had a lot on his mind and kept it to himself.

Many illnesses are related to emotions. Could it be that too much stress has made emotions the trigger?
