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

To create a suitable atmosphere for watching the movie, all the lights in the room were turned off at the beginning, with only the light from the television dimly illuminating the room.

During the day, Jinxi was still thinking, "Doesn't Zhou Linxu get tired?"

Looking at it now, how could he not be tired? He was just putting on a brave face so no one could tell.

Zhou Linxu usually works at a high intensity, and these past two days, because of Song Lanqing's matter, although he was not in the company, he did not miss any of his work.

In the dimly lit room, Jinxi secretly traced Zhou Linxu's outline with her eyes.

The people who weren't described in detail in the novel had been living together for quite some time now.

Zhou Linxu is powerful yet humble; such a person is simply the dream man for Mu Qiangpi.

Jinxi's heart started pounding uncontrollably again.

She raised her hand and rubbed her chest, trying to calm herself down.

Zhou Yanqian noticed Jin Xi moving and looked up to ask, "What's wrong?"

Jinxi lowered her hand and shook her head: "It's nothing."

She kissed Zan Zan's little face again: "Baby, you're such a sweetheart."

After starting to call her "Mommy" tonight, Zhou Zan's clinginess has been enhanced to an epic level, and she has even started to speak in a coquettish tone without realizing it.

The cool kid from the beginning is completely gone.

Zhou Yanqian raised his hand and, feigning displeasure, pushed Jinxi's cheek: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense." Jinxi made a shushing gesture again: "Dad is asleep, I'll turn the volume down."

Zhou Yanqian then went to see his elderly father, whom he had promised to watch a movie with, but his father simply "fell into a coma" on the bed.

Normally, Zhou Yanqian would have already lost his temper.

But he also knew that his father was truly exhausted.

How come he never noticed before that being CEO Zhou was so tiring?

Even when I was the CEO, I could occasionally take half a day or a whole day off.

Zhou Linxu was truly like an old ox or horse; the moment he opened his eyes, his brain started working.

Zhou Yanqian pursed his lips, and realized that he really didn't understand his father, and that he was really stupid.

In my past life, I simply believed what others said about me being an illegitimate child.

But looking at it from another angle now, he didn't do anything wrong.

It's just that I didn't have time to take care of him in my past life. Besides, that vicious Jin Xi was very good at acting. In front of outsiders, she was very nice to him. Even Butler Zhao didn't notice, let alone Zhou Linxu.

As Zhou Yan pondered, she leaned weakly against Jin Xi again.

Jinxi asked softly, "What's wrong, baby?"

Xiao Xi's image was reflected in Zhou Yanqian's clear black and white eyes.

He thought, "This Xiao Xi is the best. No matter who she's with, she treats me like a toy."

He's even corrupted his elderly father, who's starting to treat him like a toy.

Zhou Yanqian said, "You're very wicked."

Jinxi let out an "ah," and then added two more "ohs": "Then you can stay home alone tomorrow. I'll go eat barbecue and drink milk tea by myself."

Zhou Yanqian: ...

Zhou Yanqian hugged her arm, whimpering like a puppy.

Even though she could tell he was talking nonsense, Xiaoxi still got anxious!

Jinxi suppressed a laugh and said, "Anyway, I'm really bad, so I'll just go eat by myself. Oh, let's go eat at that charcoal-grilled meat place, the one with the sesame sauce dish. I haven't had it in a long time and I'm really craving it."

Zhou Yanqian said softly, "You're very good, not bad at all. I haven't eaten this in a long time, so take me with you."

Jinxi was both amused and exasperated: "Boss Zan, could you hold on for a few more minutes?"

Zhou Yanqian called out softly again, "Mommy~ Mommy~ Mommy~"

Jinxi just wanted to cover her ears, but the little brat clung tightly to her arm and wouldn't let her hug him at all.

"Okay, okay," Jinxi said. "I remember that shop is close to Zhengzheng's house. How about we invite him tomorrow too?"

Zhou Yanqian didn't want to, but Jin Xi added, "Aunt Tang Yun has been busy with the dance troupe lately, and Zhengzheng's father is also busy with work. It's so pitiful for him to be at home all alone."

Jinxi's statement also stemmed from her own selfish motives; regardless of what the future holds, she hopes that Zanzan can make good friends of his own.

Zhengzheng is really... a good match.

Jinxi observed how the two children got along, and it can be summed up in one sentence: one was willing to hit and the other was willing to be hit.

Zhengzheng is very optimistic and easygoing, and doesn't care at all about Zanzan's stubborn words.

Zan Zan may say he doesn't like him, but in reality, Zheng Zheng is the only child he's truly familiar with.

They're practically a pair of little enemies.

Zhou Yanqian thought about it for a moment. It was indeed pitiful for a child to stay at home, so he reluctantly agreed to let Gu Mingzheng go out for barbecue with them.

Then casually tell him that you can grill meat.

Hmph, at his age, he's probably the only kid who knows how to grill meat!

He could already picture Zhengzheng's shocked expression; her little vanity had already taken flight before tomorrow even arrived.

Zhou Yanqian's jaw tightened. He said, "Alright then, buy some egg waffles too. He's never had them before."

Jinxi nodded seriously: "Okay... I'll listen to you, baby. I'll pay tomorrow. I won't use the money from your Little Genius account."

Zhou Yanqian felt relieved and watched the movie with even more enthusiasm.

It's good that I don't have to spend my own money.

Now he understands why some people say saving money is great.

He's having a great time right now!
