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

After Zhou Yanqian helped wash the vegetables and peel the garlic, he sat down and watched Zhou Linxu show off his skills.

He never expected that his father actually knew how to cook.

Zhou Linxu was very skilled with the kitchen utensils; he didn't seem like he was about to blow up the kitchen.

Zhou Linxu was cooking spaghetti when he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and saw Zanzan sitting on a small stool, her little hands supporting her chin, looking at him obediently.

This little face looks just like a lovely flower.

Zhou Linxu's expression relaxed somewhat, becoming much gentler.

Zhou Yanqian suddenly met his father's gaze. He tilted his head, wondering why his father was looking at him like that.

Zhou Linxu asked, "Would you like to try this tomato meat sauce?"

Zhou Yanqian hesitated for a moment, then stood up from the small stool, walked over, and propped his head up to look at the still bubbling tomato meat sauce.

Zhou Linxu took a clean spoon, scooped up some meat sauce, fanned it a few times with his hand, and then handed it to Zanzan: "Blow on it before you eat, otherwise it will be very hot."

Zhou Yanqian took the spoon and said, "I'm not stupid, of course I know to blow on it."

"Yes, you're the smartest kid in the Zhou family," Zhou Linxu said, stirring the spaghetti in the pot. "Is it good?"

Zhou Yanqian puffed out his cheeks, about to blow on it, but upon hearing Zhou Linxu's words, he replied, "I haven't eaten yet, how would I know?"

Zhou Linxu chuckled softly and turned off all the stove fire.

He looked down at Zan Zan like a little hamster, blowing hard on his noodles, and then slowly savoring the meat sauce, looking very serious and devout.

Hmm, she's practically a little food connoisseur.

Zhou Yanqian ate that tiny bit of tomato meat sauce in one bite. The tomato flavor was very rich, and the meat sauce absorbed the aroma of the tomato, making it very sweet and delicious.

Zhou Linxu also added butter and cheese, making the flavor very rich.

Delicious! I never knew my father had such cooking skills!

Zhou Yanqian raised his head slightly again, looked at his father, and said, "It's delicious."

Zhou Linxu ran his slender fingers through Zanzan's hair a couple of times: "Dad will serve you half a bowl. Take it out and eat it. After you're done, tidy up the table. We're going to eat now."

Zhou Yanqian, however, said, "Let's eat together!"

He wants to eat it with pasta! It's been so long since I've had pasta, I'm really looking forward to it!

Zhou Linxu said, "Okay, Daddy will start cooking the steak now. How well-done would you like it, baby?"

Zhou Yanqian held up a seven, and Zhou Linxu nodded: "Okay, all cooked."

Zhou Yanqian raised his hand even higher: "This isn't fully cooked."

"Seven-tenths cooked is considered well-done," Zhou Linxu said nonchalantly. "Go ask Xiaoxi how well-done she likes it."

Zhou Yanqian believes that Zhou Linxu is telling lies to children, and he has evidence!

How could this person do this! Pointing seven as ten!

Zhou Linxu said, "Go and ask them quickly, go now."

Zhou Yanqian reluctantly left the kitchen.

Jinxi was sprawled on the sofa scrolling through her phone when she saw Zanzan approaching. She glanced at Zanzan and asked, "Is it ready yet?"

Zhou Yanqian walked up to her and asked, "Dad is asking how well-done you'd like your steak."

Jinxi said, "I don't like it too raw; seven or eight tenths is fine."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh" and then ran to the kitchen to tell Zhou Linxu how well-done Jinxi wanted her food.

Zhou Linxu replied, "Okay, it'll be ready to eat in five minutes."

Zhou Yanqian looked at him, "Why don't you say it's fully cooked now?!"

Chun Chun is just bullying a child!

Zhou Yanqian shook his head, how could he possibly accept that!

But no matter what, Zan Zan is determined to eat this well-done steak.

Zhou Linxu pan-fried steak and cooked pasta tonight, and even squeezed orange juice. When he put it on the table, it looked very tempting.

After Jinxi sat down, she gave him a thumbs up: "President Zhou, I didn't know you had such skills."

Zhou Yanqian was also stunned. His steak had been cut into long strips, ready to be eaten with a fork, and there was also delicious black pepper sauce, which was his favorite way to eat it.

That's amazing!

Zhou Linxu took off his apron and, hearing Jin Xi's exclamation, said, "I've made children's meals before, and after a few days of learning, this is all I can make. I hope it suits your taste."

"This is clearly my go-to food. I'd give this beef and pasta an award." Jinxi's praise came easily: "I didn't know you could make baby food. You're amazing!"

Zhou Yanqian's eyes darted around. Toddler meals?

He's the only one in the family who eats baby food, so why doesn't he remember it at all?

Zhou Linxu pulled out a chair and sat down, replying, "It's not that amazing, it's just edible."

When we first brought Zan Zan back, he was very wary. He wouldn't eat food cooked by others and would just stare longingly at us every day.

Zhou Linxu had no choice but to quickly find time to learn a few tricks from a chef, and then he managed to cook for Zan Zan, albeit with some difficulty.

Fortunately, Zan Zan ate relatively "simple" food back then, unlike the variety available now, and his limited cooking skills were enough to fool Zan Zan.

Later, as they became more familiar with each other, Zan Zan became more willing to trust others, and Zhou Linxu finally felt a little more at ease.

He was really struggling at that time. He had to get up early to go to work, and then bring Zan Zan back for dinner. He wished he could split himself into two people.

Zhou Linxu spoke only a few words, but those who heard them were utterly shocked.

Especially Zhou Yanqian.

He really... has absolutely no recollection of it.

Jinxi said, "It's so chaotic taking care of a child alone. It'll be better now that Zanzan is older."

"Yeah, he's easier to take care of now that he's older." Zhou Linxu casually patted the back of his head. "Baby, eat up."

Zhou Yanqian mechanically stuffed the steak into his mouth. It was indeed well-done, but it was still very delicious and juicy.

He turned to look at Zhou Linxu, who was already talking to Jin Xi about something else.

It was as if Zhou Yanqian had just imagined what he had just heard.

He held the baby chopsticks and went to eat the mixed pasta.

It was just as delicious as he had imagined. Oh, and there was also orange juice squeezed by his father—it was incredibly sweet!

Zhou Yanqian was engrossed in appreciating his father's cooking skills, while the other two chatted casually.

After listening to a string of colorful praises, Zhou Linxu took the initiative to change the subject: "Let's go to my parents' house this weekend."

Jinxi took a bite of her steak, which was cooked to perfection. When she heard Zhou Linxu say that, she replied, "Sure, what do you want to eat? I'll tell my parents and they'll make it."

Zhou Linxu glanced at her and said, "Don't make Mom and Dad work so hard. I'll book a restaurant and we can eat out as a family."

Jin Xi looked at Zhou Linxu opposite her: "Alright, but do you have something to say? Why all the fuss all of a sudden?"

Zhou Linxu said, "It's not that grand. We were going to my parents' house anyway, so I thought it would be better to let them relax. I feel a little embarrassed that it's always such a big fuss every time I go."

After much deliberation, he swallowed the matter of giving a bride price.

He felt that Xiao Xi would definitely refuse if he told her, so he might as well do it first and ask her later!
