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

He's now a complete scoundrel.

Zhou Linxu patted his butt: "Then thank you, but I don't need you to play with me anymore."

Zhou Yanqian, however, remained clung to him, refusing to get off: "But I want to play with you."

Zhou Linxu understood. This game started when Zan Zan said it would start and ended when Zan Zan said it would end. He hadn't even seen him raise his hand to surrender.

Her status in the family has plummeted to an all-time low!

Zhou Linxu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Alright, then I'm going to take a bite out of you. Xiao Xi said that kids your age are the most delicious."

After he finished speaking, he even straightened Zan Zan's upper body a little, so that his little face and shoulders were closer to his own.

Zhou Yanqian was startled. How could his father have gone astray too!

His flesh is so tender, what if it gets bitten and damaged?

Zhou Yanqian immediately struggled off his embrace and snuggled into Jin Xi's arms, burying his head in his hands and refusing to come out.

Anyone could tell that this kid was just being cute and cuddly.

Zhou Linxu pinched his buttocks, which had stick up from his lunge, and asked, "When exactly did you learn this move?"

Zhou Yanqian peeked out and glanced back at him, then pulled back in, shifting his position to tuck his bottom in as well.

He just wouldn't allow his father to pinch him.

He looked up at Jinxi pitifully and said, "Mommy..."

Jinxi exclaimed, "Wow! At such a young age, she's practically a tea master!"

At that sound, Jinxi's heart trembled slightly.

She lowered her head and pinched his little cheek: "Sweetie, where's your shyness and pride?"

How could you be so wicked now? You're full of evil intentions.

Jinxi hugged him and turned over, letting him snuggle in her arms: "Okay, okay, stop fooling around for now, let's get your flowers sorted out first."

Then she looked at Zhou Linxu, who was standing to the side, and said, "Why don't you help with the flowers too?"

Let the father and son do it together, and stop arguing in her ear about who's bullying whom.

Zhou Linxu moved closer: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhou Yanqian also looked up: "Mommy~ I'll listen to you too."

Jinxi then leaned down and kissed his forehead: "Mmm, good baby."

Zhou Linxu glanced at her, seemingly accusing her of favoritism.

Jinxi pursed her lips, glanced at Zanzan first, then turned her head, quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, tilted her head slightly, and quickly kissed him.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, as if to say, "Is this alright now?"

That's fine.

Zhou Linxu was feeling refreshed at this moment.

The corners of his mouth turned up a little.

Zhou Yanqian sensed that Jin Xidu's body seemed to have turned slightly to the side, but when he looked closely, he couldn't see anything.

Oh dear, these two people are really strange.

Zhou Yanqian always felt that he had missed something very important.

He puffed out his cheeks slightly, feeling that his brain was already overloaded.

After carefully restoring the ice cream flower, it was almost time for dinner.

Tonight we're having steak. Zhou Yanqian sat on a stool, holding a knife and fork, awkwardly cutting the steak.

He couldn't understand why they had to eat Western food again; he felt like the knife and fork were really not obeying his commands.

Seeing this, Zhou Linxu got up and walked behind Zan Zan, held his little hand, and helped him cut the steak into small pieces so that it would be easy for him to eat.

Zhou Yanqian turned his head to look at him: "Dad."

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement.

He waited a moment before asking, "What do you want to say?"

Zhou Yanqian took a bite of his steak and said, "Your hand hurts a little when you squeeze it."

Zhou Linxu's temper melted away like cream. He thought his son was about to say something of "immense" importance, but all he got was this one sentence.

He raised his hand and lightly tapped his head: "You wicked brat."

Zhou Yanqian scoffed and just kept stuffing steak into his mouth, thinking how delicious it was!

Jinxi rested her chin on her hand, watching the two of them go back and forth, seemingly determined to carry the confrontation through to the end.

After finishing with Zan Zan, Zhou Linxu turned to look at Jin Xi and asked, "Do you want me to cut it for you?"

Jin Xi blinked lightly: "If you're willing."

Zhou Linxu walked behind her, bent down slightly, raised his strong arm, and held her hand, but it was so light that it couldn't be lighter.

His palm pressed firmly against Jinxi's hand, and his head rested against her neck: "Like this..."

His breath fell on her ear, making her flinch involuntarily, but Zhou Linxu stayed close to her, moving in response to Jin Xi's every movement.

She's incredibly clingy.

Zhou Yanqian chewed on his steak, looking at the two people beside him, both of whom were acting quite flamboyant today.

And none of them paid any attention to him. Zhou Yanqian snorted and lowered his head to eat. Since no one was paying attention to him, he went to find Daju, Dali, and Zhenzhu to play with!

No one could understand Zan Zan's inner thoughts, and Jin Xi felt her heart pounding wildly.

Originally, she only wanted to dart Zhou Linxu into a trap, but now it seems she's shot herself in the foot.

Zhou Linxu spoke right up to her ear, not allowing her to look away. Jin Xi lowered her head slightly and said, "...That's enough."

"No, that's fine," Zhou Linxu said softly. "We haven't finished cutting it yet."

Jinxi reasonably suspects that this person did it on purpose. It's been more than a minute since they started cutting, and they haven't even cut half of it properly. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were cutting gold!

"What's wrong?" Zhou Linxu asked. "Was it because I cut it badly?"

Jinxi looked at his hand; the man's fingers seemed to be squeezing into the gaps between his own, yet his tone remained so innocent.

"It's cut very well, but aren't you going to eat it?" Jinxi said, "It's getting cold, please sit back down."

She heard Zhou Linxu chuckle softly in her ear: "Whatever you say."

He bumped his head against Jinxi's head lightly, as if flirting.

Jinxi felt a tingling sensation all over her body. Zhou Linxu's methods were even more sophisticated than she had imagined!

Horror!

Zhou Linxu pulled out the seat in front of Jin Xi and sat down again, slowly cutting his steak. Hmm, it really tasted good.

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhou Yanqian slumped onto the sofa. The little genius app he had placed on the coffee table started ringing. He got off the sofa, picked it up, and glanced at it. It was a message from Zhengzheng.

"Zan Zan, I miss you because you didn't come to the martial arts gym today."

Why didn't you come today? Are you feeling unwell?

"Grandpa taught me how to do somersaults today. Zanzan, can you do somersaults? I want to do somersaults with you tomorrow!"

"Zan Zan, why aren't you replying to me? Are you coming to the martial arts gym tomorrow?"

Well, he knew Zhengzheng would say this kind of thing. Even without seeing him, Zhou Yanqian could tell what he was like from the voice message.

Gu Mingzheng has always been so energetic since he was a child, no wonder everyone likes him.

Zhou Yanqian composed himself, picked up the little genius and replied, "I can do somersaults. I overslept today and couldn't come. I'm going to the martial arts gym tomorrow."

Just after replying to Zhengzheng, his father came over, and Zhou Linxu said, "Go upstairs to take a shower."

Zhou Yanqian said "oh". He originally wanted to get off the sofa and go upstairs by himself, but when he saw his father standing next to him like a pillar, he changed his mind. Instead, he stood on the sofa and opened his two fleshy arms to his father.

Zhou Linxu picked him up with one hand, and Zhou Yanqian leaned against him.

Zhou Linxu said, "When did you become so lazy? Be careful you don't turn into a chubby ball."

Zhou Yanqian pinched his ear without any mercy. All he does every day is say things to anger his amazing son!

Zhou Linxu gasped, "You naughty baby, you're going to twist Daddy's ears off!"

Zhou Yanqian wrapped her arms around his neck instead, pressing her soft cheeks against his neck: "It won't break."

He always said he used very little force, and his elderly father always pretended to be weak!

He saw right through everything with his discerning eyes! Hmph!
