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

Zhou Yanqian was awakened by the sound of talking. He opened his sleepy eyes and saw Zhou Linxu's chin.

He was still a little sleepy and somewhat dazed.

She just stared blankly at Zhou Linxu.

Zhou Linxu was originally talking to Jinxi about having dinner with his parents when, after receiving a signal from Jinxi, he looked down and met Zanzan's big, watery eyes.

Zhou Linxu's expression relaxed. He said, "Hmm? You're awake?"

He helped Zan Zan up, and Zan Zan leaned against his chest, seemingly still thinking.

Jin Xi chuckled softly: "Looks like you're still half asleep."

Zhou Yanqian yawned and asked listlessly, "When will we get home?"

"We're already at the entrance of the residential area," Zhou Linxu said. "You're quite punctual."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqian looked outside and saw that they had indeed arrived at the entrance of the residential area, where Uncle Li was driving in.

Zhou Yanqian climbed down from his lap and sat between the two of them. Jin Xi glanced at him and silently counted down in her mind: 3, 2, 1...

"1" Just as the countdown ended, Zan Zan, like a little doll, fell to the side and leaned against her.

Jinxi asked, "Young sir, could you please sit properly?"

Zhou Yanqian closed his eyes, pretending not to hear.

What's wrong with that? It's not illegal!

Jinxi's fingertips traced his delicate face: "Tsk tsk, little rice cake, I won't call you Zan Zan anymore, I'll call you Little Rice Cake from now on."

Zhou Yanqian pulled her hand away and entered sleepwalking mode!

Zhou Linxu sat on the other side, quietly watching Jin Xidou Zanzan.

That's how Zan Zan is; although she doesn't seem to like listening on the surface, she actually listens very attentively.

Zhou Linxu couldn't understand it. He and Xiao Xi were both straightforward and outspoken, and Zhou Jinming and Song Lanqing also had very good personalities.

How come Zan Zan, raised by those four people, is so hypocritical?

Jinxi said that this is being arrogant.

Zhou Linxu looked up the meaning of "tsundere" and thought to himself, "Xiao Xi is right."

Zhou Zanzan is a very proud and arrogant child.

Saturday morning at 9:00 AM.

Zhou Yanqian was dressed in a suit that his father hadn't worn in a long time. He stood on the spaceship bed, and Zhou Linxu buttoned it up for him.

He said, "Honey, you seem to have grown a bit. This suit feels a little small."

Zhou Yanqian, who was still in a daze, looked down at his suit after hearing what Zhou Linxu said.

It's not small at all; the length of the arms and pants is just right.

He looked left and right, carefully examined it, and finally nodded, saying very seriously, "It seems to have shrunk."

They all have a little bit of fleshy fat.

Zhou Yanqian asked, "Why am I wearing a suit?"

He hadn't worn a suit in a long time, and this time it was Zhou Linxu who suggested it.

Zhou Linxu said, "I'm having lunch with my grandparents today."

Zhou Yanqian was even more confused. Why did he have to dress so formally to have dinner with his grandparents?

Even if he only wears a pair of shorts and a vest to eat, his grandparents won't say anything to him.

Zhou Linxu looked him up and down and reminded him, "Lunch today is very important, so you'd better behave well then, understand?"

Zhou Yanqian looked at his elderly father and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Dad is going to give Grandpa and Grandma a dowry." Zhou Linxu picked him up. "But I haven't told Xiaoxi about this yet, so you have to keep it a secret later too."

Zhou Yanqian gripped his elderly father's arm, puzzled, and asked, "Why?"

"If you tell your mommy, she won't want it," Zhou Linxu said. "But it's a matter of courtesy; you have to give it."

Zhou Linxu glanced down at him: "When did you cut your nails?"

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," and replied, "Mommy cut my hair yesterday."

Zhou Linxu thought to himself, "Thank goodness it was cut, otherwise my arm would have been scratched with two more marks."

Zhou Yanqian noticed Zhou Linxu's gaze and withdrew his hand somewhat guiltily.

Oh dear, it just happened by accident.

After explaining things to Zan Zan, Zhou Linxu took his hand and went downstairs.

Jinxi had already finished getting ready and was sending messages to her parents, sending them the location of her lunch.

Hearing the elevator, she turned around and exclaimed, "Wow, he's so handsome, baby! Come here and let Mommy see him!"

Zhou Yanqian released Zhou Linxu's hand and walked over with great composure.

Jinxi pulled him around and said, "You're so handsome, baby. You're so handsome that your grandparents won't recognize you later."

Zhou Yanqian smiled faintly, "It's okay, they'll recognize me as soon as I speak."

Zhou Linxu walked up to them, and Jin Xi looked at him, saying, "Why are you dressed so formally?"

Today is just a family gathering, isn't it?

Zhou Linxu said, "Last time I went to my parents' house, it was a bit casual. This time, for the family dinner, we should be more formal."

Jinxi wanted to say no, but seeing that both the adults and the child had changed into suits, she looked down at her own loose T-shirt and casual pants and hesitated, "Maybe... I should change into something too?"

Compared to Zhou Linxu, she seemed like a pure and innocent college girl.

Zhou Linxu sat down beside her: "Whatever makes you comfortable."

Jinxi said, "I think I should change my clothes; this doesn't match you guys at all."

Zhou Linxu couldn't stop her, and Jinxi came down ten minutes later.

She wore a wide-strapped halter dress that accentuated her slender waist, with the hem reaching her knees, giving her a very gentle and intellectual look.

Jin Xi noticed Zhou Linxu looking at her, tilted her head, and asked, "Does it look good?"
