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

Jinxi is currently in Zhou Linxu's arms.

The alcohol seemed to slow her brain down a bit, and Jinxi said dizzily, "Xiaoxu, I can walk by myself, I really can!"

Zhou Linxu had already carried her towards the parking lot. He said, "Yes, you're not drunk. You can leave."

Jinxi thought in a daze, "Stop just talking, actually put me down!"

Zhou Linxu steadily put her down beside the car, then opened the passenger door and helped her into the car.

Jinxi muttered, "Oh, I'm really fine, this amount of alcohol is nothing to me."

Zhou Linxu said helplessly, "Fine, you have the best alcohol tolerance."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the seatbelt buckle, slightly hunched his back, and leaned into the car. Using the dim light outside, he fastened Jinxi's seatbelt.

The two were so close that they could smell each other's fragrance.

Zhou Linxu's upper body was positioned in front of Jin Xi. He was dressed lightly in summer, and his long, slender neck was thus displayed in front of Jin Xi.

For some reason, Jinxi felt a bit itchy in her teeth and wanted to bite hard to make herself feel better.

However, Jinxi had only been drinking and hadn't lost her mind, so she certainly couldn't bite Zhou Linxu like that. But Zhou Linxu smelled so good that she couldn't help but move closer.

Just as Zhou Linxu finished buttoning his shirt and was about to leave, he felt his left shoulder being brushed.

He tilted his head slightly and found Jinxi rubbing against his shoulder like a puppy, then sniffing him as if she were smelling something.

Zhou Linxu was a little nervous. Had he picked up some unpleasant smell?

He should have known better than to go in with Chen Yue; he must have picked up the smell of their alcohol.

Just as Zhou Linxu was about to explain, he heard Jin Xi say softly, "Zhou Linxu, why do you smell so good..."

Because they were so close, Jinxi's breath fell on his neck, making him feel a little itchy, and he unconsciously shrank back.

He tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "Why are you rubbing against me?"

It's kind of embarrassing (*≧︶≦))(￣▽￣* )ゞ

Jinxi said in a serious tone, "You smell nice. Did you wear perfume before you went out?"

Zhou Linxu chuckled lightly, saying he wasn't drunk, that his clothes at home were individually scented, and that he wouldn't use any perfumes; he had never used any of the perfumes kept at home.

He raised his hand and tapped her forehead with his well-defined fingers.

Jin Xi grunted ambiguously, then raised her hand to cover her forehead: "Zhou Linxu, why are you tapping my head?"

Zhou Linxu snorted, but his voice was much softer: "Think about it yourself. Sit tight, I'm going to drive."

Jinxi hummed back, "I can hum too."

"Alright, alright, you're the best." Zhou Linxu's tone was tinged with amusement. "No one can out-talk you."

"No," Jin Xi said seriously, "No one can out-humor Zan Zan."

Zan Zan is the one in the family who hums the most!

Zhou Linxu chuckled softly, couldn't resist pinching Jinxi's cheek, and before she could react, he got out of the car and closed the door.

The movement was completed in one smooth motion, giving Jinxi no chance to pinch it back.

Jinxi was all bark and bite in the car, but in the end, she did nothing. She angrily crossed her arms and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Zhou Linxu sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, glanced at Jin Xi, and chuckled softly.

Why is she like Zan Zan, turning her face away when she's angry?

Zhou Linxu didn't disturb her, but said softly, "If you feel unwell, just tell me, and I'll drive slower."

Jinxi snorted again and ignored him.

Zhou Linxu shook his head and drove towards home.

Jinxi was drowsy but couldn't fall asleep, so she half-opened her eyes and looked out the window. As if she felt it wasn't ventilated enough, she rolled down the car window, and the dry wind outside rushed in, blowing her hair.

Zhou Linxu glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, but didn't say anything, just obediently acted as Zhou's driver.

Jin Xi took a deep breath, clearing her mind somewhat.

She rolled up the car window again and muttered, "When will it rain?"

Zhou Linxu replied, "Don't you dislike rain?"

"I don't like it, but rain in the summer cools things down. Who can stand 37 or 38 degrees Celsius every day?" Jin Xi then looked at Zhou Linxu: "How do you know I don't like rain?"

"You always have a dark look on your face when it rains; it's hard not to notice," Zhou Linxu said. "You love riding your little green bike with Zan Zan, but it's inconvenient to go out in the rain, so now Zan Zan doesn't like rainy days either."

The two children, one big and one small, become listless when it rains and stay at home without moving.

Jin Xi's eyes brightened slightly: "Zhou Linxu, you truly live up to your title as president; you've observed things so meticulously."

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement: "I haven't had any other special skills since I was a child, except for my good eyesight."

He glanced at Jinxi again: "When I went upstairs just now, I saw a group of men dressed very scantily clad coming out of your private room. Is it some new program?"

Jinxi blinked, then nestled guiltily in her car seat: "Oh dear, you... you saw it."

She figured that since Zhou Linxu hadn't mentioned it, she hadn't seen it, and she'd greet him when she sobered up tomorrow. She didn't expect him to ask about it so soon.

Jinxi coughed twice, pretending to be a little embarrassed. Although she had planned to tell Zhou Linxu a long time ago, she felt a little embarrassed when she actually asked him.

He mumbled indistinctly, "...male model."

Zhou Linxu genuinely didn't hear him clearly: "What? I didn't hear you clearly."

Jinxi took a deep breath: "We ordered 14 male models."

Although I was mentally prepared, I still clenched my back teeth a little when I heard Jinxi say fourteen.

He asked with a forced smile, "Why didn't you order eighteen?"

Jinxi was stunned for a moment, then honestly replied, "There are seven of us, so eighteen is not a good number to divide. Fourteen would be just enough for each of us to have two."

Zhou Linxu was so angry he almost laughed; the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

They don't watch what's at home, they insist on spending money to watch something else.

What is it about him that makes him inferior to those male models?!

Zhou Linxu felt like he was about to die from exhaustion.

Jin Xi continued, "But we didn't do anything, we just let them in to sing a few songs, and then we let them leave."

She dared not say that she had also watched the dance; she sensed that Zhou Linxu was a little angry.

Sigh, what she did was indeed somewhat unethical.

Zhou Linxu simply said "oh" and then fell silent.

Jinxi scratched her hair that was hanging down her chest, not quite understanding what Zhou Linxu meant, so she didn't say anything.

The two of them went home in silence.

Zhou Linxu drove directly to the garage, and Jinxi was still swaying when she got out of the car.

Tonight marks the ten thousandth time I've regretted being greedy.

She wanted to go to the back seat to get her bag, but Zhou Linxu opened the car door faster, picked up her bag, and hung it on his shoulder.

He extended his hand to Jinxi, who glanced down at him and said, "No need, no need, I'm really fine now."

Zhou Linxu's face seemed to darken even more. He directly took her hand. Jinxi struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, so she obediently followed him into the house.

The garage is next to the basement level. When someone walks in, the motion-sensor lights turn on.

Jinxi was pulled towards the elevator. Once inside, she couldn't help but ask, "Zhou Linxu, why aren't you saying anything?"

Zhou Linxu leaned against the elevator wall, his voice stiff: "I'm not going to stay silent."

Jin Xi pursed her lips: "Fine, don't tell me then."

The two of them went up to the third floor together.

Once they reached the third floor, Zhou Linxu stopped holding her hand. He walked a little ahead, his tone still somewhat stiff: "Go inside and wash up. I'll wait for you at the door. I'll come downstairs after you're done. Call me if you need anything."

It's not safe for him to take a shower alone after drinking, so he waited at the door. Now that it was quiet, he could hear any unusual noises.

Jinxi took a breath and said, "Zhou Linxu."

Zhou Linxu turned to look at her, and Jin Xi said seriously, "I didn't handle the male model matter well this time."

Zhou Linxu pursed his lips, and his brows and eyes relaxed a little.

Hmph, at least you know how to coax him. He's not the kind of person who's petty.

Zhou Linxu was about to go down the steps when he saw Jin Xi say as if she had made up her mind: "Don't worry, I won't do it again before we get divorced. I definitely won't cause you any extra trouble."
