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

After eating and drinking their fill, the aunt quickly cleared the baking tray and bowls from the table, and now the family is resting in the backyard.

Zhou Yanqian still habitually slumped in the chair, with both hands on his stomach.

I ate too much, and my stomach is all bloated right now.

The barbecue and lobster were absolutely delicious!

Seeing his appearance, Jinxi pressed his belly with her finger: "Oh my, Mr. Zan, your belly is so round right now, it's like a ball, I can't press it anymore."

Zhou Yanqian unhappily removed her hand: "It's not like a ball."

He didn't eat that much!

Jinxi chuckled lightly: "If you don't believe me, go look in the full-length mirror. I'm not making this up."

"No, no," Zhou Yanqian said. "I don't like looking in the mirror."

Zhou Linxu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Doesn't he like looking in the mirror?

He thought that Zan Zan was the child who loved looking in the mirror the most.

However, it's best to keep these things to yourself; if you say them out loud, Zan Zan will definitely lose his temper again.

Zhou Linxu stood up: "Mom and Dad, let's go inside first. It's dark and there are a lot of mosquitoes."

Jin Dahai and Yang Hongyan got up, and Jin Xi asked, "Mom and Dad, do you want to go downstairs to watch a movie after you've washed up?"

"I'm not watching anymore." Jin Dahai yawned. "I'll watch some videos and then go to sleep."

Yang Hongyan also said, "You don't need to worry about me and your dad, we'll rest in a bit."

As Yang Hongyan finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and turned to ask, "Zanzan, do you want to sleep with your grandparents tonight?"

Zhou Yanqian was still lost in thought when he heard his grandmother calling him. He shook his head and said, "Grandma, I'm sleeping in the nursery."

Yang Hongyan said, "Alright then, Zan Zan, if you want to sleep with your grandparents, just come over, okay?"

"Okay," Zhou Yanqian replied.

Yang Hongyan and Jin Dahai went inside.

Jinxi turned around and said, "Baby, we need to go in too."

Zhou Yanqian yawned with his mouth wide open, then looked at Zhou Linxu beside him.

After Zhou Linxu looked at him, he slightly raised his arm.

Zhou Linxu pinched his armpits and picked him up. Zhou Yanqian pouted and muttered, "I told you... don't pinch my armpits."

Zhou Linxu countered, "Then how am I supposed to hug you? We don't have magnets on us, so we'll just stick together."

Jinxi came over at this moment and said, "Maybe he wants to be carried in a princess carry?"

Zhou Linxu thought for a moment: "Okay, next time Daddy will carry you horizontally first, okay?"

Zhou Yanqian opened his mouth, then finally said, "Whatever you say!"

He wrapped one arm around Zhou Linxu's neck, then looked at him again.

Zhou Linxu carried him in one arm and walked into the house side by side with Jinxi.

He noticed Zan Zan's intense gaze and asked with some confusion, "Why are you staring at me? Is there something on Daddy's face?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqian chuckled, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhou Linxu was even more puzzled. He scratched Zanzan's chin and asked, "Baby, what are you laughing at?"

Zhou Yanqian's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Xiao Xi said that I have handsome features on my face."

Jinxi had already been walking ahead, but when she heard Zanzan speak, she stopped abruptly and turned around, saying, "I didn't say that. I clearly said cute."

Zhou Yanqian covered his ear with his other hand, fidgeting around, and exclaimed, "He's just so handsome!"

Zhou Linxu tapped his forehead with his fingertip: "Okay, okay, you're handsome. Don't squirm, Daddy can barely hold you anymore."

Zhou Yanqian calmed down a bit and said, "Okay, I'm going to take a shower. Can you carry me upstairs to shower?"

Zhou Linxu pinched his soft buttocks: "President Zan, when are you going to pay this bath attendant some wages?"

Zhou Yanqian pinched his mouth shut, the meaning was clear: say something nice!

Upon arriving at the children's room, Zhou Linxu went to prepare a bath for him with practiced ease, while Jin Xi went to the dressing room to find him pajamas to wear that evening.

Zhou Yanqian sat on the giraffe sofa stool, his elbows resting on his thighs and his hands supporting his cheeks.

Daju and Dali are already as tall as a small stool, with round bellies and plump bodies. They've been eating really well these past few months at our home.

They sensed their little master's emotions, and although they didn't understand, they still nudged his legs with their heads.

Zhou Yanqian forced a smile, freeing one hand to place between the two puppies, only to have his hand immediately nudged by their fluffy heads.

He laughed heartily, laughing until tears streamed down his face.

Daju and Dali kept nuzzling him, so Zhou Yanqian said, "Alright, alright, I know you love me. Daju, stop licking my hands, none of you have brushed your teeth!"

Jinxi came out of the closet with her pajamas when she heard Zanzan's words. She said, "When you're home the day after tomorrow, give them both a good cleaning. Dogs need to be clean too."

Zhou Yanqian hummed in agreement: "Alright, I'll brush them."

This is a trivial matter, nothing that can stump him.

Jinxi noticed that Zanzan's eyelashes were wet and asked, "What's wrong, baby? Why are your eyes so wet?"

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," and then yawned, "I'm sleepy."

Jinxi felt that Zanzan was acting a little strange tonight, but Zanzan stood up and said, "I don't want to wear this pink nightgown."

Jinxi said, "So what kind of pajamas do you want to wear? These pajamas are so cute."

Zhou Yanqian put his hands on his hips: "Find me a new one."

Jinxi had no choice but to return to the dressing room.

Zhou Linxu had already filled the tub with water and stood at the bathroom door: "Zanzan, come take a shower."

Zhou Yanqian walked over, and Zhou Linxu subconsciously tried to step aside, but the little boy simply walked up to him and said, "Daddy, carry me inside."

Zhou Linxu squatted down: "It's only a few steps, how lazy are your legs?"

Zhou Yanqian turned his face away, pretending not to hear.

Zhou Linxu said he was lazy, but he actually picked him up very quickly.

This time, after listening to Jinxi's words, she first picked him up in a princess carry, and then adjusted him to hold him upright: "Are you satisfied now? Thumbs up, sir."

Zhou Yanqian wrapped his arms around his neck and gave a muffled "hmm".

He buried his face in Zhou Linxu's shoulder and said, "Dad."

Zhou Linxu had already reached the sink and was about to put him down when he heard Zanzan call him, so he stopped and asked, "What's wrong, baby?"

Zhou Yanqian asked, "Dad, do you love me?"
