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

Zhou Linxu parked his car and walked around the garage. He saw a door with light coming out, and went over to take a look. Zanzan was like a busy little bee, emptying the litter box and feeding Pearl.

Jinxi remarked from the side, "Pearl's bathroom is no less impressive than something out of a novel, where the CEO wakes up in a 200-square-meter bed."

While working, Zhou Yanqian said, "Don't talk nonsense. Pearl will grow bigger in the future. Daju and Dali were so small, but they are this big now."

That's true. Daju and Dali are like two gas cylinders now. Zhou Zanzan has a lot of experience raising pigs, oh wait, no, raising dogs.

Jinxi said, "I didn't say 'afterwards,' so just say 'now,' right?"

Zhou Yanqian remained silent.

The pearl is a little small now, and after he put it on the ground, he has to walk very carefully, for fear of stepping on it.

He accidentally stepped on the big orange cat's paw, and it howled for most of the day. He secretly opened a can of food for both of them, and that's howled it stopped.

Zhou Linxu coughed lightly, and Jin Xi turned around: "Come and see Zan Zan working."

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement before walking over to Jin Xi and solemnly remarking, "You've done a good job."

Zhou Yanqian was teaching Pearl how to use the toilet, while Daju and Dali were enthusiastically following along.

Hearing his father's assessment, he looked up and said, "Of course."

If he can't even do such a small thing right, then he's really not worthy of being called "General Manager Zan".

Jinxi said, "Are you settled in? If you are, come upstairs for dinner. The auntie has already prepared the meal."

Zhou Yanqian was busy running around, feeling as if the meat pie had already been digested.

He said, "Alright, I'll find some toys for Pearl to play with after I finish eating."

Later tonight, I'll use my phone to search for cat toys and ask Jinxi to buy them for him.

Zhou Yanqian glanced back at Pearl one last time. Even with Daju and Dali next to it, it was sleeping soundly in its "200-square-meter" cat bed.

Seeing Zan Zan's reluctant expression, Zhou Linxu couldn't help but say, "What a good child who loves cats and dogs. I should have found him a puppy or kitten to keep him company sooner."

Jin Xi replied, "Why think so much? Haven't you heard the saying, 'Everything happens for a reason'?"

Zhou Linxu looked at Jin Xi and finally nodded: "Yes, everything is the best arrangement."

Jinxi felt that Zhou Linxu's gaze had been lingering on her for longer and longer periods of time lately.

She puffed out her cheeks but didn't say anything.

The meal ended.

After finishing her meal, Zhou Zanzan ran downstairs with Daju and Dali to see the pearls. Jinxi sat on the sofa, flipping through the script she had brought back.

This is a short to medium-length drama, and the script isn't thick. Jinxi feels that at her own pace, she can finish watching it tonight.

Zhou Linxu sat down at this moment: "The script?"

Jinxi nodded: "Yes, I need to see the complete script before I can design it. I'll also have to have a meeting with Director Chen later."

There are still many things to do.

Zhou Linxu moved slightly closer: "The name is quite nice."

Jinxi hummed in agreement, about to say something, when her phone, which was lying to the side, lit up. She picked it up and glanced at it; it was a message from Chen Zhang.

[Chen Zhang: Are you free the day after tomorrow? There's a small gathering, and I'd like to introduce you to a few other colleagues.]

Jinxi thought for a moment and realized that she didn't have anything special to do the day after tomorrow, so she was free.

[Jinxi: Okay, what time, and where?]

[Chen Zhang: I'm at Fengyun. I'll send you my location the day after tomorrow. We'll have dinner at 5 PM, and then hang out together for a while in the evening.]

[Jinxi: Okay~ I got it~]

After Jinxi finished speaking, she glanced at Zhou Linxu, who was silently watching TV and not continuing to read her script.

Jinxi said, "I'm going to a dinner party the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Linxu brought his gaze back to the present moment: "Okay, what time?"

"At 5 p.m., Chen Zhang said he'd play a little longer after dinner, and it'll probably be over around 9 or 10 p.m.," Jin Xi said. "I'll see if I can leave early then."

Zhou Linxu said, "You can have fun in peace. I'll come pick you up when it's over. Where is it?"

"What's your name, Fengyun?" Jinxi said, "I'm not quite sure either."

Zhou Linxu understood: "It's a private club under the Chen family's name, so it's very safe. I'll pick you up then, so you don't need to leave beforehand."

Jin Xi turned to look at Zhou Linxu and said, "Mr. Zhou, you look very much like a married man."

"A married man?" This clearly touched on Zhou Linxu's blind spot again: "What does 'married man' mean?"

Jin Xi coughed lightly: "If you don't know, then forget it."

She flipped through the script again, and then heard Zhou Linxu mutter in her ear, "You can tell me, just tell me, and I'll remember it."

Jin Xi simply curled the corners of her lips: "I won't say."

She didn't turn her head, because if she did, she would be met with Zhou Linxu's resentful gaze.

Seeing that she really didn't intend to say anything, Zhou Linxu said, "Alright, I'll take that as a compliment."

Jinxi turned to the other side and still didn't say anything.

Zhou Linxu leaned back on the sofa: "I just have one question for you, why are you ignoring me again?"

"Mr. Zhou, it's because I was working diligently," Jin Xi said. "When you were working diligently, I didn't ask you to pay attention to me either."

"If you want to talk while I'm working, I'll listen to you." Zhou Linxu's tone was very serious: "I always listen carefully when you speak."

Jinxi thought about it carefully and realized it was true; Zhou Linxu always remembered things very seriously.

She said, "It really sounds great."

"So, what is a married man?" Zhou Linxu continued, "I listened carefully, but you still didn't tell me."

Jinxi then turned to look at him, and just as she had expected, Zhou Linxu was looking at her innocently.

How can he and Zan Zan not be father and son? They're clearly inseparable.

Moreover, Zhou Linxu unconsciously moved closer to me because he wanted to hear an explanation, and his face was very close to mine.

His bright eyes were like a dog's eyes, which made people feel soft-hearted.

Jin Xi raised one hand, her fingertips touching Zhou Linxu's forehead.

Zhou Linxu slightly raised his eyelids, then tilted his head in confusion, uttering a muffled sound: "Hmm?"

Jin Xi silently pushed him away slightly: "President Zhou, do you get this close to other people too?"

Zhou Linxu seemed not to understand and pressed on, "Then tell me, why should I get close to other people?"
