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

After dinner, Zhou Linxu drove Yang Hongyan and the others home first.

Zhou Yanqian was really tired. When he got back into the car, he snuggled up in Jin Xi's arms and fell asleep.

Zhou Linxu glanced at him through the rearview mirror: "He's sleeping now, but will he be able to sleep when we get back?"

"Then you're underestimating your son's sleep quality." Jinxi poked Xiaobao's cheek with her fingertip: "If he can't fall asleep for ten minutes with his head on the pillow, that's considered insomnia."

Children's sleep quality is incomparable to that of adults.

Zhou Linxu couldn't help but laugh as he listened. He asked, "By the way, what are your plans for the future? Are you only opening this one martial arts school? Have you set a date for the interview?"

"The interview is scheduled for July 2nd," Jinxi said. "It was originally supposed to be on those two days, but I was really busy, so I moved it a bit later."

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement: "Don't overwork yourself."

Jinxi looked at the streetlights receding outside, illuminating the road in an orange-yellow hue.

She said, "It's not tiring, Mr. Zhou. The whole family works together, it's very easy."

He then added, "I'll think about my future plans after I pass the interview. Even if I do have plans, I'll have to wait until I get back from my business trip."

Zhou Linxu actually wanted to say something else, like that he could help if needed.

But upon hearing Jinxi say that, he silently gambled back.

However, he did think of something: if the filming takes place in August, then Jinxi won't be able to celebrate her birthday at home.

This was her first birthday since she came to the Zhou family.

Zhou Linxu was preoccupied with his thoughts and didn't speak again. Jinxi was also tired, so she hugged Zanzan and closed her eyes for a while.

Starting tomorrow, you can arrive around 8:30.

Phew—everything is finally on the right track.

Jin Xi seems to see countless good days beckoning to her.

What a wonderful day! Just wait, our family will be knocking on the door soon!

Once things are on track, time flies.

The martial arts school is operating normally, and they even opened another class later, but Jin Dahai and Yang Hongyan can take care of all of them perfectly well.

Jinxi then went to the interview with peace of mind.

The interview was at 2 PM. This interview was just a formality. She drove to Chen Zhang's company and finalized the contract in less than half an hour.

Jinxi signed the contract, and Chen Zhang took out his prepared employee badge: "The training will be on July 25th. The company has already set up a room. It's from 9 am to 5 pm. Here's your employee badge. You can swipe it to come in."

Jinxi took the items: "Okay."

Chen Zhang added, "This is the complete script. You can take a look at it recently and design the fight choreography. The female actors' fight scenes are basically under your control."

Jinxi nodded. It wasn't difficult at all. She could ask her father to design the movements.

His father had done this job and knew which actions looked aesthetically pleasing on camera. She would just need to watch the actress adjust her movements, and that would be it.

It was only around three o'clock when they finished all that. Jinxi declined the suggestion to have dinner together that evening and took her things back to her car.

It's still early, and Zan Zan is at the martial arts hall with his parents looking after him, so there's no need to worry.

Jinxi picked up her phone, booked a Chinese massage, and hummed a little tune as she went to her usual massage parlor.

As soon as she entered, the receptionist greeted her: "What project are you doing today, Sister Jin?"

"I'd like a full-body massage," Jinxi said as she walked inside. "Teacher number 15 will do."

The receptionist smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll arrange it for you right away. By the way, Sister Jin, we have a 10th anniversary event here, and..."

"Go easy on me! I came here to enjoy myself, not to suffer! Get me another person!"

Suddenly, a shout came from the next room. A moment later, the door was opened. Jinxi subconsciously turned her head to look and saw Zhang Lin sitting on the massage bed, while the technician was packing up and coming out.

The technician couldn't help but mutter to herself as soon as she saw the receptionist, "That guy's here again."

The receptionist simply said, "You rest first, I'll arrange someone right away."

The technician left, and the receptionist couldn't help but sigh.

Jin Xi asked, "Is this person bad-tempered?"

The receptionist whispered, "It was fine before. It's normal for a rich lady to have a temper, but the last two times she's come, she's been cursing at our technicians. Even the technician who used to massage her has been verbally abused by her. It takes two people to finish one treatment."

The receptionist continued, "Besides, she used to come with her best friend, but lately she's been coming alone more often, though she's still using her friend's card... Sister Jin, we've arrived at your room. I'll go make you some tea."

Jinxi nodded slightly, and as she walked into the room, she glanced back. Just then, a new technician entered Zhang Lin's room.

It seems that Zhang Lin has not been living a happy life since being kicked out of the old house by Zhou Linxu.

After I finished pressing the button and came out, Zhang Lin had already left.

Jinxi stretched and felt light and refreshed. The receptionist even gave her a new fruit tea, which had a light and refreshing aroma that her mother would probably like.

After going downstairs, Jinxi glanced at the time; it was only a little past 4:50. The martial arts hall was only a 15-minute drive away, so they would arrive soon.

However, she had something else to do today: buy Zhou Linxu a birthday present.

Zhou Linxu's birthday is just around the corner, and Jinxi has been thinking a lot about what to give him.

She's never given gifts to men; she's usually the one receiving gifts and love letters.

Since she's out today, she might as well take a stroll around and pick out a gift early, since she doesn't know if she'll have time later.

I visited several stores at Jinxi, but I couldn't find anything suitable.

She bought a cup of milk tea, took a couple of sips, and strolled around leisurely. After visiting almost all the nearby stores, she finally decided on her birthday gift.

A pair of cufflinks.

However, these cufflinks need to be ordered separately, and I can deliver them to your door myself.

Since it's a birthday gift, what if Zhou Linxu finds out when I deliver it to his door? Then there won't be any surprise.

She said, "I'll just come and get it myself."

Zan Zan went to the martial arts gym very conscientiously every day, and she had more free time. When the goods arrived, she could just find an excuse to come and pick them up. The item was small and compact, so she wouldn't be noticed if she carried it back.

Jinxi made the arrangements quickly, and now the matter that had been weighing on her mind was finally resolved, and the time was almost up.

She finished the last sip of her milk tea, making sure Zan Zan didn't find out.

Since he got sick, she has to sneak around to eat milk tea and ice cream whenever she wants.

Sigh, when will Zan Zan grow up so she can eat openly and honestly?

As Jinxi walked toward the car with a sigh, she didn't expect to run into Zhang Lin again after only a few steps.

This time she was in a bag shop. Jinxi looked up and saw that it was a second-hand shop.

She bought a mask, put it on, and walked in with a bit of curiosity, pretending to be a passerby.

Zhang Lin was not familiar with her and did not recognize her.

The main thing is, I've run into this twice already. I'm really looking forward to seeing this!

Jinxi took out her phone and quickly sent messages to Zhou Linxu.

Don't say I don't care about you! I'll come looking for you as soon as I get my hands on some gossip! Don't say I'm not good to you!
