As Zhou Yanqian went downstairs to tidy up his toys, the Little Genius app rang.

Zhengzheng called, and Zhou Yanqian answered the phone, asking, "What?"

It's only been a short time since we separated, do you already want to hang out with him so much?

A cheerful voice rang out from the little genius: "Zan Zan, I'm home now! I called to let you know!"

"Oh, I'm home now," Zhou Yanqian said. "I understand."

Zhengzheng asked again, "What are you doing now?"

"Put away the toys." Zhou Yanqian looked at the toys all over the room. How come he hadn't noticed he had so many toys before?

Zhengzheng came today and took apart a lot of toys that he had never played with before.

He clearly remembered that Xiaoxi hadn't bought him many toys! Now it's really hard for him to tidy them up!

Zhengzheng said "Oh" on the other end of the phone, sounding a little embarrassed: "Then next time I come to your house, I'll help you pack before going home."

Zhou Yanqian grunted twice: "Okay, I'm hanging up now, I'm very busy."

"Okay, okay, bye-bye, I'm going to take a bath now." Zhengzheng said, "My family also made me some white fungus soup, I'm going to drink it later, it's so delicious."

"Mmm-hmm." Zhou Yanqian resorted to his usual perfunctory approach: "Bye-bye."

Zhengzheng then hung up on the little genius.

As Zhou Yanqian tidied up the toys, he sighed, thinking that with Gu Mingzheng's little genius on his side, he probably wouldn't have any peace and quiet anymore.

This person is troublesome when they grow up, but even more troublesome when they are a child!

He collected them for a while, then looked around and shouted, "Big Orange and Big Lychee, stop fighting over the toys! Give them back to me..."

Jinxi had just come downstairs when she came across this helpless scene. She leaned against the door and said, "It seems that Daju and Dali really like your toys."

Zhou Yanqian looked at her and asked, "Did you secretly buy me a toy?"

Jin Xi asked doubtfully, "Me? I don't think so."

Zhou Yanqian pointed to his toy storage box: "So many!"

Jinxi glanced at it and said, "Could it be that your dad bought it?"

Did Zhou Linxu buy it?

When did Zhou Linxu buy it for him?

Jinxi tilted her head: "Your dad always brings you gifts when he goes on business trips. He brings back a lot of them. We used to keep them separate, so you probably forgot about them."

This toy room was something I tidied up while cleaning the guest room. Apart from the puzzles and other small toys that Zan Zan often plays with, everything else was stored in this toy room, which is why it looks like there are so many toys.

Zhou Yanqian was very surprised when he saw the unfamiliar toys. Did he bring toys back for him every time?

He really didn't remember much about it. He didn't play with these toys much anyway, and he would get bored with them after playing with them for a while.

Zhou Yanqian bent down and picked up another small airplane. This airplane was remote-controlled, and he and Zhengzheng had played with it for a while. Moreover, this toy was newly disassembled.

He puffed out his cheeks. It wasn't something that could be added so many toys in just one or two trips. This meant that Zhou Linxu would bring him gifts every time he went out.

Thinking back carefully, he realized that he also had many toys in his past life, but he just didn't play with them much.

It turns out that Zhou Linxu loved him so much without him knowing.

Zhou Yanqian puffed out his cheeks and handled the toys with even more care.

Jinxi didn't notice the fleeting emotion in Zanzan's eyes, and said instead, "Hurry up and pack. Your dad just messaged me saying he'll be home soon."

Zhou Yanqian glanced at the young genius silently. It was only five o'clock. He asked, "So early today?"

"Yes, it's rare for me to get off work early. Dad even said he'd make us steak when he gets home tonight," Jinxi said. "We're in for a treat tonight; we can finally try your dad's cooking."

Zhou Yanqian puffed out his cheeks, naturally remembering the bet.

Forget it, it's Zhou Linxu's duty to cook for him and Xiao Xi!

At worst, he can just help out later.

Xiao Xi's phone said, "A man should be able to grace the living room and cook in the kitchen!"

Zhou Yanqian tidied up even faster, finishing in no time.

Jinxi bent down and kissed his little face: "You're so diligent, baby. You're like a hardworking little bee. Come on, let's go upstairs and see if Daddy is here yet."

Zhou Yanqian looked down at his little hands; they were dirty.

When Jinxi tried to take his hand, he immediately pretended not to see her and let her take it, then turned around and said, "Daju and Dali, let's go upstairs."

Jinxi looked down at him and said, "Baby, I feel like there's something strange about you."

Zhou Yanqian felt guilty for a moment, but immediately became firm: "I'm not surprised."

The next second, Jinxi said, "It's so cute."

Zhou Yanqian: ...

He really overestimates Jinxi.

I thought she had discovered that her hands were dirty.

Zhou Yanqian gave a light hum and didn't bother to say anything more.

Jinxi led him upstairs to wash his hands. Zhou Yanqian washed his hands until they were clean and white. After he finished washing his hands, Jinxi also washed hers.

Zhou Yanqian stood by the sink and looked at her: "Why are you washing your hands?"

"Because he was holding some dirty doll," Jinxi thought to herself, praising that little trick, she didn't even bother to expose it.

Sometimes, it's okay to give in to the kids.

Zhou Yanqian blinked, then realized: "So you already knew my hands were dirty."

Jin Xi smiled without saying a word.

The mischievous intent instantly turned sour. Zhou Yanqian looked at her and asked, "Then why did you hold my hand?"

Jinxi said, "Why so many whys? I just wanted to hold your hand, so I did."

Zhou Yanqian raised his two hands, like a kitten stretching out its paws.

Jinxi glanced at it and affirmed, "Yes, now it's a clean little dough ball."

Zhou Yanqian said, "My hands were dirty just now."

"The person who wants to hold your hand won't care whether your hands are clean or dirty." Jinxi turned off the tap: "I'll hold your hand even if you're a dirty kid, of course, unless they're too dirty. If you're too dirty, your dad will hold your hand."

My heart, which had just been touched, instantly plummeted back to its original state.

Zhou Yanqian thought to himself, "This is just sophistry!"

He automatically filtered out Jinxi's last sentence: even when he was extremely dirty, he still needed Xiaoxi to hold his hand. Not only did he need her to hold his hand, but he also wanted to roll around in her arms!

Jinxi had no idea what the child was thinking. She took Zanzan to the living room, where they happened to run into Zhou Linxu coming in from the door.

Zhou Linxu was even carrying groceries in his hand.

Zhou Yanqian found his stay-at-home husband appearance rather novel, so she circled around him, looking him over from the left and right.

Zhou Linxu asked, "What's wrong?"

He started circling around as soon as he came in. Is it strange that he's acting like this?

Zhou Linxu didn't think he was strange at all.

Since I only decided to come back and cook on a whim, I naturally need to prepare everything in advance.

When Zhou Yanqian heard his father's question, he nodded and then shook his head, leaving everyone puzzled as to what he meant.

However, Zan Zan had no intention of revealing his feelings to his two subordinates at that moment.

Now that he's the boss, of course his thoughts need to be figured out!

Otherwise, why bother being a "big" leader?  ̄へ ̄!
