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

Zhou Linxu didn't say anything more. After helping with the check-in, he took her upstairs.

Jinxi took out her and Zanzan's clothes and hung them in the closet, then said to Zhou Linxu, "I just grabbed these for you, you'll have to make do with them."

Zhou Linxu agreed, then said to Zanzan, "Baby, I see a small cake shop downstairs. Let Uncle Goldman take you down to buy one."

When Zhou Yanqian heard his father say this, he raised his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Xi and Xiao Xu.

Finally, she said, "I don't want to eat."

They were clearly trying to get him away so he could talk and listen!

And this is his mother, so why shouldn't he listen to her?

Moreover, Zhou Yanqian always felt that there was something strange between his father and mother. This strange feeling had always been there, but he couldn't figure it out.

Jinxi exclaimed, "Baby, I want to eat it! I want a strawberry flavor. Could you please go and buy it for me?"

Zhou Yanqian was speechless. Did they really have to send him away?

Goldman Sachs came in at that moment, walked over to Zan Zan, and picked him up with a smile: "Zan Zan, Uncle Gao will take you to buy a cake. What flavor do you like?"

As she spoke, she carried Zan Zan out and closed the door behind her.

Zhou Yanqian glared angrily at Goldman Sachs, but Goldman Sachs expertly pretended not to notice.

In the end, Zan Zan gave up. He was really too small now and was easily carried away.

Inside the room, Jinxi asked, "Has everything been taken care of?"

"It's all settled, and they gave me some money." Zhou Linxu pinched the bridge of his nose, looking a bit of a headache. "Song Deyao wants to arrange a ghost marriage for my sister-in-law."

Jinxi was stunned: "Has he stuffed his brain with tofu dregs?"

Zhou Linxu sighed: "He's drowning in gambling debts and wants to arrange a ghost marriage to get a dowry."

Jinxi showed a look of disgust, but with Zhou Linxu there, she swallowed her swear words: "It's so frustrating to be paid like this."

"Don't worry, it won't be given to him for nothing," Zhou Linxu said. "The important thing is to relocate the grave."

Moreover, Zan Zan is coming over too. If Song Deyao says something unfounded, it's better to send him away first.

Jin Xi took a deep breath and calmed herself down: "Has the new burial plot been found?"

"I had Secretary Wen check it out. There were no empty spots next to Zhou Jinming's grave. However, new spots have been built in the same cemetery, and the two best spots haven't been sold yet. I calculated the times: my sister-in-law's grave will be moved at 9:00 AM, and Zhou Jinming's will be moved at 3:10 PM. The relocation and burial can be completed tomorrow."

After listening to him finish speaking, Jinxi said softly, "Are you tired?"

Zhou Linxu gave a smile, but it was devoid of any warmth.

He had initially intended to say he wasn't tired, but upon meeting Jinxi's gaze, his tense nerves relaxed, and even his shoulders slumped slightly.

Zhou Linxu said, "I'm tired."

Jinxi couldn't find the words of comfort.

Zhou Linxu sighed softly: "But if I don't care, then really no one will care about the couple anymore."

Yes, if Zhou Linxu doesn't take care of things, then no one will.

Zhou Linxu said, "At the time, I was only thinking about burying my sister-in-law as soon as possible, and I never thought about burying the two of them together."

"No one is perfect," Jin Xi said softly. "You've already done very well."

Zhou Linxu simply sighed vaguely, "I always feel that it could have been better."

If Jinxi hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have thought of moving Song Lanqing back to Jincheng.

Moving back to Jincheng is good. The couple won't have to be separated, and it will be convenient for Zanzan to come and pay respects to his mother when he misses her.

Jinxi patted him on the shoulder: "Zhou Linxu, you have done very, very well. I believe your brother and sister-in-law will definitely understand you."

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened to Zhou Linxu, judging from his previous state, he had been bearing a lot all by himself.

Jin Xi watched as Zhou Linxu's brow furrowed even deeper. Just when he was finally feeling a little better, that gloomy mood pulled him back down again.

Zhou Linxu looked at her, and Jin Xi said in a serious tone, "Besides, blame others, why blame yourself? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Be strict with others, be lenient with yourself'?"

Zhou Linxu's lips curled up slightly: "Okay."

Jinxi said, "Don't be upset. Think about it carefully. Can this be considered a blessing in disguise? After all, without this incident, we wouldn't have thought about moving the grave."

Zhou Linxu nodded: "You're right."

Jinxi said, "When Zanzan comes back, should we take him to see his sister-in-law? Haven't they not seen each other for a long time?"

"Yes, I brought him to pay respects during the Lunar New Year. I had work this year and didn't have time to bring him during Qingming Festival."

"It's been more than half a year," Jinxi said. "The more I think about it, the more I feel that moving back was the right thing to do. In the future, when you're busy with work, I'll take him to see his mother."

Seeing her beaming with joy, Zhou Linxu felt a weight lifted from his heart.

Jinxi stopped talking mid-sentence, that burning sensation in her ears returning: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

She noticed that Zhou Linxu really loved staring straight at her!

She felt a little embarrassed, wondering what was so interesting about it...

Zhou Linxu lowered his eyes and did not answer her immediately.

But for some reason, when Jinxi looked at him, she always felt that he looked a little aggrieved.

Jinxi raised both hands and placed them on his shoulders, giving him two earnest pats: "Hey! Cheer up, or your son will laugh at you again."

Zhou Linxu lowered his head slightly, glanced at the shoulder where he had been patted, and at Jin Xi's smiling eyes: "Okay, I can't let him laugh at me."

Jinxi smiled at him and nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it! Keep up the small order!"

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement: "Okay!"

Jinxi subconsciously wanted to rub his face, but after raising her hand, she stopped herself as soon as her brain reacted.

She's gotten so used to rubbing Zan Zan's face that it's become a kind of conditioned reflex for her.

Just as Jinxi was about to calm down and pretend nothing had happened, she withdrew her hand, but Zhou Linxu grabbed her wrist.

Before Jinxi could react, her palm was already close to Zhou Linxu's cheek.

Zhou Linxu looked at her with a slightly innocent expression: "Is this what you want?"

After he finished speaking, he gently rubbed his palm against hers.

Jinxi: !!!
