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

Zhou Linxu received Jin Xi's message during a break in a meeting.

He glanced at his phone and straightened up.

He tossed and turned all night last night and didn't sleep. He didn't want to come today, but after thinking about it all night, he finally got up. He took care of the baby first, and guessed that Jinxi must be having the same trouble sleeping as him. He also specifically told Zanzan not to disturb her.

He only went out to work overtime after arranging everything. He thought that Jinxi definitely needed some space to think about their relationship.

Zhou Linxu replied with an "okay" on his phone, then stared blankly at it.

When Goldman Sachs entered, he saw Zhou Linxu deep in thought, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that something had gone wrong with the project?

Probably not. If there's a problem, he'll know. Goldman Sachs quickly checked his recent projects in his mind, but there didn't seem to be any issues.

Under Zhou Linxu's leadership, the Zhou family is thriving! Who knows, I might even win a seven-figure bonus this year!

Goldman Sachs took a deep breath and handed over the coffee: "Mr. Zhou, is there a problem with the meeting?"

Zhou Linxu put down his phone: "No problem, call me when we have the meeting later."

Goldman Sachs responded and then observed Zhou Linxu's complexion, which looked like he hadn't slept well.

Never mind, the boss said it's fine, so it must be fine.

Goldman Sachs left reassured, but after only two steps, he was called back.

"Goldman Sachs, are there any good florists around here?"

flower shop?

Goldman Sachs was quick-witted. He turned to Zhou and said, "Mr. Zhou, there's a shop near the company. Shall I go and order a bouquet for you?"

"No need, just send me the address later." Zhou Linxu picked up his coffee. "Go on with your work."

Goldman Sachs responded, "Okay."

He left the office. It was Saturday, so there weren't many people working overtime. His good friend Wen Yu wasn't there, so Goldman Sachs immediately took out his phone and sent her a message.

[Goldman Sachs: Mr. Zhou looked like he hadn't slept well today. I thought there was a problem with the project, which really scared me.]

[Wen Yu: Oh my, it's so great not having to go to work!]

[Goldman Sachs: I asked Mr. Zhou, and he said it was nothing. Guess what happened in the end?]

[Wen Yu: Are you putting on a comedy routine here? Speak up, or I won't eat the rotten melon ( *^-^)]

[Goldman Sachs: Mr. Zhou asked me where the nearest flower shop is. Do you think I should recommend a few more romantic restaurants to him?]

[Wen Yu: Sharing romantic restaurants... romantic bouquets...] xN

Goldman Sachs looked at the restaurants and flower shops that Wen Yu had shared, and forwarded them all with one click, using them as a gift to his boss!

After finishing lunch, Jinxi regained some of her composure.

Zan Zan has taken Da Ju and Da Li to see the pearls. She is leaning back on the sofa, staring blankly at her phone.

Zhou Linxu did reply to the message. She hesitated for a long time in the chat window before finally exiting and idly scrolling through social media.

Honestly, I don't usually feel this way, but today I just feel a little restless.

After looking at the pearls, Zhou Yanqian took the oranges and lychees upstairs.

He watched as Jinxi tossed and turned on the sofa, tilted his head, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing, like you're making a pancake?"

Since the topic of pancakes came up, Zhou Yanqian casually suggested, "How about you buy a pancake later? I'll take half and you can have half."

The jianbing guozi was quite large, and when it was cut in half, it was just the right size for him and Jinxi!

Jinxi reached out and pinched his soft, round face: "When will you stop being so greedy? I'm almost embarrassed to say anything to you. Remember to have your dad weigh you tomorrow morning."

Zhou Yanqian turned his head away and brushed her hand aside: "I'm not overweight."

He also pays great attention to his physique! He even has a scale in his walk-in closet, and he weighs himself naked every few days to maintain a perfect figure!

Jinxi sat up from the sofa and held Zanzan on her lap: "You still can't eat too much. Look at you, every time you overeat you have to go to the hospital. Don't you want your butt to stay in this state?"

The agonizing experience of getting a shot in the buttocks was still fresh in Zhou Yanqian's mind, and he felt the phantom pain in his buttocks starting again.

Seeing Zan Zan's little expression, Jin Xi couldn't help but suddenly kiss him twice, feeling a little better afterward.

In the past, Zhou Yanqian would have stormed off in anger, but now he's long since gotten used to it.

He leaned weakly against Jinxi: "You can buy me something else when I get hungry later, or ice cream or egg waffles will do."

"You're such a glutton." Jinxi flicked his cheek. "Go change your clothes, and put on the leash for Daju and Dali. We're going out."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh" and slid off her lap. Jin Xi also got up, putting Zhou Linxu aside for now and getting things done first.

Jinxi drove to the pet store to take Daju and Dali for a bath first, and then drove to the barbershop where Zanzan usually gets his hair cut.

Now that Zan Zan is a year older, he has his own ideas about his hairstyle. Mainly, every time he gets a haircut, he asks the barber to give him a domineering slicked-back hairstyle, and then he will start looking at anything that can reflect his image that day.

I wonder where she got this habit of looking in the mirror from.

We took Zan Zan to the barbershop, and luckily there was an empty spot.

Zhou Yanqian lay on the shampoo sofa, comfortably squinting his eyes.

Although Xiao Xi and Xiao Xu would occasionally massage his hair while washing it, neither of them was as skilled as the hairdresser at the salon!

Jinxi stood to the side, watching Zanzan's little face with her eyes closed in enjoyment, and subconsciously wanted to take out her phone to take a picture of Zhou Linxu.

The phone was already on, but then it abruptly stopped.

She doesn't know when it started, but whenever she encounters something or Zan Zan experiences a milestone in her growth, she always shares it with Zhou Linxu immediately; it has become a habit.

Jinxi took a deep breath, put her phone away, and sat on the sofa outside, waiting for Zanzan to finish washing her hair.

Kids' haircuts are quicker; it only takes about twenty minutes.

Zhou Yanqian stood reservedly in front of Jin Xi, raising his round chin slightly, and saw Jin Xi give him a thumbs up: "Is this still my son? He's so handsome, I hardly recognize him."

Zhou Yanqian was very satisfied. In this second life, he wanted to hear some sweet words!

Jinxi asked the pet store and found that Daju and Dali had also had their baths done. She had solved the problem of taking care of the three kids in the family in two hours. Jinxi felt like she was a master of time management!

She took Zan Zan's hand and left the hair salon. It was quite sunny outside, but thankfully she had the foresight to park the car in the shade of a tree.

Zhou Yanqian placed one small hand on his forehead, mimicking the brim of a hat, to ease the strain on his eyes.

Jinxi looked down and smiled: "Tell your dad when we get home tonight, and ask him to take you to buy some sunglasses."

Zhou Yanqian nodded: "Okay."

Having sunglasses makes going out in the summer much more convenient. I can't believe how handsome and charming I would look wearing them.

Gu Mingzheng must be incredibly envious! He'll go buy them tomorrow; he wants to get the sunglasses before Gu Mingzheng does!

Jinxi had no idea what he was thinking, so she drove off to pick up Daju and Dali again.

However, as she passed by the flower shop on the roadside, her gaze paused for a moment, and she thought to herself, "There seems to be a flower shop next to the pet shop."

I'll go see if there are any fresh flowers left, and buy a bouquet for... for little Zan Zan.
