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

Jin Xi spoke with utmost seriousness, and Zhou Linxu was momentarily lost in thought.

He asked, "So when do you plan to do it?"

Jinxi gave him a strange look, then replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, after the divorce. Don't worry, I'll probably be traveling for a few years then, and I definitely won't give you any more... um?"

Her gaze shifted downwards, and Zhou Linxu gripped her wrist, using his hand to cover her mouth.

Zhou Linxu's temper at this moment was truly unfathomable to her.

Jinxi looked up at him, only to find that Zhou Linxu was also staring straight at her.

She didn't know when it started, but Zhou Linxu seemed to have a particular fondness for staring at her, making her feel a little embarrassed.

Zhou Linxu took a deep breath and asked, "Jinxi, are you trying to drive me crazy?"

how do I say this?

Jinxi looked at him with wide, confused eyes. What was she trying to do to make him angry? Don't slander her!

Jinxi made two "mmm" sounds, meaning she wanted to speak. Zhou Linxu looked at her innocent eyes, tilted his head slightly, and finally let go of her mouth.

Jinxi said earnestly, "What happened today was indeed wrong of me, and I apologize to you again. If... if you still feel it's inappropriate, we can schedule a divorce registration appointment first, and we'll get a divorce in a month."

This was the best solution Jinxi could think of. She admitted that she hadn't stopped them when they were ordering male models, and that was her fault.

Zhou Linxu had finally managed to get the Zhou family in order, and he couldn't let it be ruined because of her slight lapse in attention.

Jin Xi said, "If it comes out, I will take responsibility for what I should take. Don't worry, I won't let you handle these things alone."

Zhou Linxu took several deep breaths; he was so full of energy that he felt like he was about to burst at any moment.

He asked, "Do you think I'm angry about this?"

Jinxi exclaimed, "No, isn't this it?"

This should be considered a major mistake, right? If Zhou Linxu makes her pay compensation, she'll accept it.

Zhou Linxu met Jin Xi's calm gaze and gradually calmed down.

Their marriage may be unknown to others, but surely they themselves are aware of it?

The contract is gone, and the marriage certificate is real, but he and Jinxi are not husband and wife.

She is a normal adult woman, and it's perfectly normal for her to look at young, vibrant men when she's emotionally empty and doesn't have a real partner.

But Zhou Linxu was unwilling to accept it. He didn't understand why Jin Xi would rather go out and look for others than look for him.

Is he really that bad?

Jin Xi looked at Zhou Linxu's expression; he seemed to have been struck by something and remained silent for a long time.

Jinxi didn't know what to say. She was completely sober now and just wanted Zhou Linxu to stop being angry. If things got really bad, she could get a divorce tomorrow. At worst, she could take Zanzan back to her parents' house to raise for a while, keeping it a secret from him until he was a little older...

Zhou Linxu is a good person, and she shouldn't have dragged him down like this.

Seeing Jin Xi's absent-minded expression, Zhou Linxu asked, "Are you sober now?"

"I'm not drunk," Jinxi said. "How about we register tomorrow, and Zanzan can go with..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Linxu's face loomed closer to her, and a light, quick kiss landed on the corner of her lips, but Jin Xi still felt it.

Jinxi's brain has crashed.

Zhou Linxu raised his hand, placed his palm on her cheek, and rubbed his fingertips against the corner of her mouth where he had just kissed her.

He asked, "Now do you know what I'm angry about?"

Jinxi's brain was already overloaded at this moment, and she could only let out a silly "ah".

Zhou Linxu raised an eyebrow and murmured thoughtfully, "So I didn't know."

He leaned in again and kissed the other corner of his mouth.

Jinxi was like a rusty machine at this moment, just standing there dumbfounded, letting Zhou Linxu kiss her twice.

She's probably still...drunk, isn't she?

Or perhaps she was dreaming, otherwise why would Zhou Linxu kiss her?

Zhou Linxu gently pinched her cheek: "Do you understand now?"

Jinxi finally came to her senses. It wasn't a dream, and she wasn't drunk. It was all real!

Zhou Linxu likes her!

Although I had a slight feeling before, it turned out that it wasn't a misperception!

Jinxi was at a loss for words for a moment, and after belatedly realizing what was happening, her ears felt a little hot.

At this moment, it's inappropriate to think that he wasn't angry, but jealous.

No wonder I wore a deep V-neck nightgown before; it turns out it was for her!

Seeing that she still hadn't reacted, Zhou Linxu was actually feeling uneasy.

Could it be that my behavior was too bold and scared people?

He was completely out of his mind just now. Even though it was Jinxi who drank the wine, he was the one who was quite drunk.

Zhou Linxu's voice softened. He had been holding Jinxi's wrist, and now he pulled her hand under his clothes.

The delicate skin texture and slightly elevated body temperature were both transmitted to Jinxi through her fingertips.

Jinxi stammered, "You, you need to calm down a bit."

Could you give her some space to think? She's really struggling to process this right now.

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement, but his hands didn't stop moving. He asked, "Did you touch them like this tonight?"

Jinxi could tell that Zhou Linxu said this through gritted teeth.

Jinxi felt a soft, supple texture, like chewy dough, making her want to knead it gently with her hands at a temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius.

Jinxi tried to pull her hand back, but just like the previous times, her hand was forced to stick tightly to Zhou Linxu.

But that person still said, with a wronged expression, "Am I really worse than them?"
