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

Jinxi always felt that Zhou Linxu was doing it on purpose.

His hands were large, and when he placed them lightly on hers, they covered most of her hand.

This person was still looking at him like that, with a completely open and honest expression.

Zhou Linxu asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Jin Xi blinked: "Actually, what I wanted was hush money."

Now it was Zhou Linxu's turn to cough lightly. He quickly withdrew his hand and said, "Sorry, I thought you were scared and wanted to hold my hand."

Jinxi is a very bold girl; there aren't many things she's afraid of.

Zhou Linxu still doesn't understand her enough!

Zhou Linxu subconsciously reached for the card in his suit pocket, only to find it empty, and then remembered that he had already changed his clothes.

Jinxi chuckled softly, "I was just kidding. Let's watch the movie, it's starting now."

Zhou Linxu reached for his phone, tapped something, and a few seconds later, a mechanical female voice suddenly came from Jinxi's phone speaker: "Your Alipay account has received 50000 yuan."

Jinxi was startled, and only after she realized what was happening did she look down at her phone.

Zhou Linxu transferred 50,000 yuan to her directly.

Jin Xi said, "I was just joking."

"Yes, I know," Zhou Linxu said, "but I want to make you happy."

Jinxi is always exceptionally happy whenever she receives money.

Zhou Linxu felt that Jinxi's happiness was really simple and pure.

Jinxi couldn't suppress her smile, and she generously said, "Thank you, boss."

Zhou Linxu replied matter-of-factly, "You're welcome, but I'm not your boss. Legally speaking, I'm your husband."

Jinxi coughed lightly and muttered, "Oh, it's just a form of address."

Why bring this up out of the blue?

It's kind of embarrassing.

Jinxi sat cross-legged on the sofa, casually hugging a cushion, ready to watch the movie intently.

Zhou Linxu spoke again.

He asked, "Will you go to the martial arts gym every day from now on?"

Jinxi said, "I originally planned to go and check on things myself, but my parents are more familiar with the martial arts gym, and I also need to take Zanzan with me."

She hasn't forgotten her original duty!

Moreover, it's summer vacation now. Although Zan Zan is going to be the senior student at Jin Yanzi, he still needs to take some time to go out and play.

Zhou Linxu tilted his head slightly and glanced at Zan Zan on the sofa.

He said in a low voice, "If there's anything you want to do, you can just tell me. It's the same if Zan Zan comes to the company with me."

What does this mean?

Jinxi didn't quite understand.

Zhou Linxu said, "You don't need to compromise anything for Zan Zan. Just do what you want."

Jin Xi understood now, but was somewhat surprised after understanding: "But our contract states..."

"There's no contract anymore, Xiaoxi," Zhou Linxu interrupted her. "Have you forgotten? We don't have a prenuptial agreement."

Oh right! There's no longer a contract between them.

In other words, she and Zhou Linxu are now legally married.

Zhou Linxu said, "The company has stabilized. Even if I don't get involved, others will take care of many things. I have plenty of time to spend with you all."

He already has absolute say in the board of directors, and he doesn't need to take the Zhou family members seriously at all.

Zhou Chen hasn't come out yet. Zhou Jiansheng, Zhang Lin, and that guy whose number I don't know are all messing around.

Now all the bad things are over.

He now has the time to go on road trips or travel to other places, just as he had mentioned before.

Jinxi twirled her long hair with her fingers. Zhou Linxu's tone was so natural, giving her the feeling that the two of them were already an old married couple.

Zhou Linxu was still waiting for her reply.

Jinxi was at a loss for words.

My usual silver tongue seems to have failed me here.

From a young age, Ms. Yang Hongyan told her that a good child should be open and generous and communicate well, which saved her life.

She really didn't know what to say.

Her heart felt like it was caught in a ball of yarn; she couldn't find the beginning or the end.

She's recently run into a problem related to Zhou Linxu, and it's a tangled mess she can't unravel.

Just then, Butler Zhao arrived.

She was also carrying a bunch of snacks, popcorn, and braised dishes.

Jin Xi felt as if she had seen a savior.

Butler Zhao was startled by Jinxi's gaze, wondering if she saw her wife every day.

Why does your wife look like she misses her so much?

Housekeeper Zhao was very professional; she placed the items on the coffee table and laid them out one by one.

Jinxi invited, "Butler Zhao, let's go see a movie together."

Butler Zhao smiled and said, "No, Madam, I have to go water the vegetable garden."

It's been hot lately, so the vegetable garden needs to be watered every day, otherwise Zan Zan's vegetables will die of thirst.

Jinxi's invitation failed, and she could only watch Butler Zhao leave.

Zhou Linxu picked up the popcorn and handed it to Jinxi: "I asked her to buy two flavors."

Jinxi took the double-portion popcorn and said, "Let's eat together."

She's not that possessive of her food!

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement.

Jinxi then stopped talking to him.

The two watched the movie quietly.

This horror movie is an old one. It's about a group of college students who spend the night in a haunted house in the middle of nowhere. On their way back, each of them encounters different ghostly events.

It has to be said that, regardless of the world, old ghost movies are always incredibly exciting.

Jinxi was initially quite bold, but after watching for a while, she quietly withdrew her leg.

It's not that I'm scared, it's just that I feel a little uneasy.

Zhou Linxu naturally noticed Jin Xi's little actions. He didn't have much feeling about this kind of film. In the end, it was either man-made or mentally ill. It was just filmed in a very mysterious way.

However, after thinking about it, he quietly moved closer to Jinxi.

Jinxi tilted her head to look at him: "Are you scared?"

Zhou Linxu's Adam's apple bobbed, and he finally hummed in agreement: "It is a bit scary."

Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief and earnestly comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's all just a scare tactic."

But seeing the somewhat frightening scene, she thoughtfully added, "If you're scared, just close your eyes and don't look. I'll wake you up when the scary part is over."

Zhou Linxu looked at Jin Xi's face. He was a little scared himself, but he still subconsciously took care of him.

He puffed out his cheeks; what he really wanted to say was that he didn't need protection.

If he could, he would also like to be Xiaoxi's support when she is afraid.

Zhou Linxu's gaze fell on Jinxi's profile. He wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time to let Jinxi gradually get used to it.
