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

After finishing the shaved ice, I also finished watching an episode of an animated series.

Zhou Yanqian said goodbye to Zhengzheng and her grandparents, then took Zhengzheng's hand and went downstairs.

It wasn't that Zhou Yanqian wanted to hold hands, it was just that Gu Mingzheng was too annoying. If he didn't hold hands with him, Gu Mingzheng would come up with a million reasons, which gave him a headache!

Zhou Yanqian only let go of his hand after they were about to get into the car.

Zhengzheng said, "Zanzan, your grandparents' house is so much fun!"

There's delicious food, and you can watch cartoons to your heart's content.

Zhou Yanqian replied, "Of course!"

He also likes to come to his maternal grandparents' house, definitely not because there are crushed ice cubes in the refrigerator.

Jinxi listened to the two of them whispering in the back seat, smiled slightly, and handed them the small cookies she had baked in her bag.

All along the way, I could hear them chattering away while eating cookies; it was quite amusing.

Back at the villa, it was almost 3:30. Zhou Yanqian took Zhengzheng to play with her toys and puzzles for a while. Not long after, Li Tangyun arrived by car.

Li Tangyun followed Jinxi into the house and asked, "Did Zhengzheng cause you any trouble?"

"No," Jinxi said. "Zhengzheng is very well-behaved, and the two of them had a lot of fun."

Li Tangyun received photos and short videos from Jinxi. Although they weren't together, she could still participate remotely.

Jinxi invited Li Tangyun to sit down and then sent a hint to Zanzan's little genius, telling them to come up from downstairs.

Li Tangyun then opened her bag and took out a small gift box: "These are refrigerator magnets that our dance troupe will be releasing in a while. I brought you a set. I hope you like them."

Jinxi opened the small gift box, inside which were six exquisite little swans of different shapes and colors.

"It's so pretty," Jinxi said. "Thank you, I really like it. I'll put it on the refrigerator door later."

Seeing her expression, Li Tangyun felt a little relieved: "This is the first time our dance troupe has made this kind of merchandise, and I was a little worried."

"Don't worry," Jinxi said. "It's beautiful. I'd be tempted to buy it too if I saw it. Have you been busy lately?"

Li Tangyun nodded: "Busy, rehearsing a new dance. There's a performance next month. I'll send you a few tickets when they come out, and invite you and your family to come and watch."

In the novel, Li Tangyun is a top-tier chief student, and tickets for her are extremely difficult to obtain.

This is amazing! I can even get a ticket from the person in person. It's like winning the lottery.

Jinxi nodded: "Okay, we'll definitely dress up for the occasion."

Li Tangyun couldn't help but laugh: "No need, no need, just be casual. By the way, how's your martial arts gym coming along?"

"It's all set up, now we're just airing it out before we start recruiting," Jinxi said. "My parents are managing it for me now."

"That's good," Li Tangyun said. "Having elders help out makes things much easier."

After chatting for a while about their recent situations, Zan Zan brought Zheng Zheng upstairs, with Da Ju and Da Li wagging their tails and following behind them.

Zhengzheng looked at Li Tangyun and flew towards her like a little bird: "Mommy! Baby missed you!"

Li Tangyun kissed his forehead: "Did you listen to Aunt Xiaoxi today?"

"I was good! Zan Zan and I are the most obedient children! We also went to Zan Zan's grandparents' house, and they even fried some 'baipi' (a type of fried dough stick) for us. I ate several; they were so delicious!"

Zhengzheng started babbling away like a torrent of beans, and it looked like she was about to lose control. Li Tangyun quickly pinched her mouth shut and said, "Okay, baby, Mommy knows. Let's go home and talk about it slowly."

After making a few muffled noises, Zhou Yanqian watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh.

Gu Mingzheng looked like a duck flapping its wings, which was quite funny.

He moved to stand next to Jinxi, and Jinxi naturally pulled him between her legs, letting him lean against her.

Li Tangyun said, "Xiao Xi, then I'll take Zhengzheng back first."

As she spoke, she squeezed Zhengzheng's little hand again: "Say goodbye to Zanzan and Aunt Xiaoxi."

Zhengzheng waved her two little hands: "Bye-bye, Zanzan, bye-bye, Aunt Xiaoxi."

Jinxi said, "I want to come and play with Zanzan next time too."

"Next time I'm going to invite Zan Zan to my house to play," Zheng Zheng said. "That way I can come to your house to play the time after that."

It's only fun when there's a back-and-forth exchange.

Jinxi nudged Zanzan's little hand, signaling him to answer.

Zhou Yanqian said "Okay, I'll come to your house to play next time."

He'd been to Gu Mingzheng's house before, so it wasn't anything new to him.

Zhengzheng was delighted: "Great! I'll invite you then!"

Zhou Yanqian hummed in agreement.

Jinxi took his hand and led him to the door to escort Li Tangyun and her son.

Zhou Yanqian said politely, "Goodbye, Aunt Tang Yun."

Li Tangyun patted his little head: "Goodbye, Zan Zan."

Zhengzheng climbed into the back seat, rolled down the window, and waved to Zanzan, saying, "Bye-bye Zanzan, bye-bye Aunt Xiaoxi, bye-bye Daju and Dali, I'll come again."

Jinxi looked at Zhengzheng and Zanzan together, and they were simply adorable!

After the car had driven away, Jinxi shook Zanzan's chubby little arm and said, "Let's go inside, baby."

Zhou Yanqian took her hand and led her back to the living room. He said, "I'm going to Zhengzheng's house to play. Do you want to come too?"

"What am I going there for?" Jinxi said, "I'll be like Aunt Tangyun, taking you there and picking you up in the afternoon."

Zhou Yanqian only responded with an "oh," and it was impossible to tell whether he was unwilling or not.

Jinxi asked, "Want me to come along?"

"No, I was just asking!" Zhou Yanqian said, "Don't misunderstand me."

"Wow, even this dough doll knows what 'misinterpretation' means." Jinxi chuckled. "You're amazing."

Zhou Yanqian thought to himself, "What's so special about this!"

He knew everything all along!

Although it seems like he's got a cheat code, he's only four years old now, so how can he not be considered a child prodigy?

If he says so, then it is!

Jinxi said, "You go play at Zhengzheng's house, and Dad and I will work hard, okay?"

Zhou Yanqian didn't say anything. Jin Xi raised an eyebrow: "Then you go to work, and your dad and I will go play. We'll play for two days. On the first day, you'll manage the martial arts gym, and on the second day, you'll wear your little suit to work at the Zhou Group. You're not allowed to leave work before the appointed time. Go to meetings, go to those endless meetings."

Zhou Yanqian: ...

What did Xiaoxi add in this passage? Why is he so confused after listening to it?

He should just go and have fun.

Xiao Xi: Go to work, go to an endless workday.
