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

If I say five o'clock, then it's five o'clock.

Jinxi and Zhou Linxu arrived at the entrance of the martial arts hall hand in hand, and waited for a while before it was their turn to go in.

As soon as you enter, you see little Zhou Zanzan sitting in the corner, her hands supporting her chin, her eyes staring straight at the door.

Upon seeing two familiar figures, he seemed to hum a disapproving sound and turned his head away, unwilling to look at them.

He seems quite angry.

The two walked over, and Jinxi bent down slightly, tilted her head, and asked, "Hello, handsome young man, do you still recognize me?"

Zhou Yanqian glanced at her, then turned around and faced the other side.

Jinxi said, "Hey handsome, don't hide! Look at me, I don't believe you don't recognize me."

Zhou Yanqian then responded to her with, "I just don't know you."

You think you can just coax him after he comes back from playing? There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Jinxi let out a long "Oh," and said, "Alright then, since you don't know him, your dad and I will go find another Zan Zan baby."

She then made a gazing-out gesture: "How strange, where did our darling Zan Zan go?"

Zhou Linxu agreed, "They're probably with their parents. Let's go find them."

Jinxi said quietly, "Alright then, I originally bought a cake and planned to have Zanzan eat it secretly in the car, but now it seems we should eat it ourselves first and not leave any for him."

Zhou Yanqian then turned his face back and asked, "What flavor of cake?"

"It's cantaloupe flavored," Jinxi said. "It's a new product, and I knew my little Zanzan would like it as soon as I saw it."

Zhou Yanqian couldn't help but smile slightly. At least Jin Xi has some conscience!

He wasn't completely over his anger, but he was reluctant to give Jinxi any face.

He stood up from the small stool and said, "Let's go!"

Jinxi was still teasing him: "Why are you leaving? You don't know us, and you're not our Zanzan."

Zhou Yanqian raised his voice a notch: "Jin! Xi!"

Jin Xi covered her ears: "I can't hear you! I can't hear you!"

She covered her ears and walked out, and Zhou Yanqian quickly followed, calling out, "Mommy~ Mommy~"

Jinxi chuckled softly, still pretending not to hear.

Seeing this, Zhou Yanqian turned to look at Zhou Linxu again: "Dad~"

He opened his arms, and Zhou Linxu helplessly picked him up in his arms, commenting, "He's bad at it but loves to play."

Zhou Yanqian put his arm around his neck and mumbled in his ear, "You guys went out to play without me."

Are we not allowed to have a temper?!

Zhou Linxu tilted his head and kissed his cheek: "Didn't you want to practice martial arts? We only didn't take you this time. On other occasions when we went out to play, where did we leave you behind?"

Zhou Yanqian was unwilling, burying his face in his father's shoulder and whimpering.

It's obvious they're dissatisfied and uncomfortable.

Zhou Linxu patted his butt: "Stop whining and acting all cute."

Zhou Yanqian turned one hand over, touched his slapped bottom, and angrily opened his mouth to bite his father's shoulder.

It's tearing at us fiercely!

But the next second, the old father said casually, "The clothes are a little dirty."

Zhou Yanqian silently pulled his mouth back and spat a few times to the side.

This made Zhou Linxu chuckle secretly twice.

Zhou Yanqian sullenly pressed most of his face against his father's shoulder, his round eyes looking left and right.

Jinxi stood right next to him and knew exactly what he was looking at.

She said, "Xiao Xu, why did you bring out a chubby baby?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqian tightened his two fleshy arms, almost strangling Zhou Linxu.

He patted Zan Zan's bottom: "I can hardly breathe, you stinky baby."

After calming down, he solemnly replied, "This is my Zan Zan, I just found him."

Jinxi laughed: "Really? Then I want to see Zanzan's little face."

Zhou Yanqian revealed his face and said in a muffled voice, "Mommy..."

Now that Jinxi felt better, she said, "Oh my, it really is our precious Zanzan."

Zhou Yanqian hummed in agreement, sounding utterly pitiful.

Jinxi said, "Mommy, hug me."

Zhou Yanqian leaned his body slightly, allowing Jin Xi to hug him.

Jinxi bounced him up and down: "How was your practice with Grandpa today?"

"Very easy," Zhou Yanqian said. "It's very simple!"

It only takes a couple of movements to ignite it completely.

"Oh, you can even speak English!" Jinxi lightly bumped his forehead against his. "Smart baby!"

Jinxi carried him out of the martial arts hall and let him walk on his own.

Holding my chubby son outside in the sweltering summer heat is nothing short of torture.

Zhou Yanqian opened the car door himself, and sure enough, there was a small cake on the back seat.

Jinxi said, "Let's take it to the store to eat. We still have to wait for Grandpa and Grandma."

Zhou Yanqian nodded: "Okay."

It's a pity that Zhengzheng and Lele left, so it seems I'll have to enjoy this delicious cake all by myself.

Zhou Yanqian carried the cake and hummed a little tune as he walked towards the martial arts hall's office.

The office was empty by now. Zhou Yanqian placed the cake on the coffee table with practiced ease and reverently opened the cake bag.

A fragrant aroma of honeydew melon wafted over.

The cake smells delicious.

Jinxi lagged two steps behind him, and seeing Zanzan's greedy expression, chuckled softly, "How is it? Are you satisfied, Mr. Zanzan?"

Zhou Yanqian said, "Satisfied!"

He was so happy today, he even had milk tea!

When the topic of milk tea came up, Zhou Yanqian narrowed his eyes slightly and patted the empty seat next to him: "Come sit down."

Jinxi walked over and sat down, and Zhou Linxu followed and sat down next to Jinxi.

Jinxi nudged Zhou Linxu with her elbow: "Help your son open the outer plastic shell."

Zhou Yanqian cautioned, "Be careful not to smear my cream."

Zhou Linxu stretched out his hand and said helplessly, "Don't worry."

After the outer plastic shell was removed, Zhou Yanqian took a spoonful and ate it.

This cake is really delicious. It's not greasy at all and has a unique honeydew melon fragrance. It's also topped with a transparent, jelly-like substance, which adds a special flavor to each bite.

After taking a couple of bites to satisfy his craving, Zhou Yanqian finally got down to business: "Grandpa bought me milk tea today."

Jinxi knew about this, but she pretended to be naive: "What? Then I'll tell Grandpa and Grandma that I can't order milk tea for you anymore."

Zhou Yanqian rummaged around in the left and right, and finally pulled out the takeout receipt that he had hidden at noon.

He unfolded the receipt and placed it in Jinxi's palm.

Jin Xi raised an eyebrow slightly: "So you want me to reimburse you..."

?

Before she could utter the last word, Jinxi saw the words on the receipt.

What a coincidence! It's the same place that tricked Zan Zan out of a hundred yuan for a cup of milk tea last time.

Jinxi wanted to take the receipt, but Zhou Yanqian was quick and took it away.

Upon seeing Jinxi's reaction, he realized that his guess was entirely correct.

My money was swindled away by Jinxi!

Zhou Yanqian: "Look at me!"

Jinxi: ...

Feeling guilty, he closed his eyes.
