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

Zhou Yanqian took a quick shower this time, finishing in less than ten minutes.

He dressed neatly and opened the bathroom door, only to see Jinxi leaning against the bathroom door with her eyes closed.

Hearing the door open, Jinxi straightened up, turned her head to look, and immediately smiled when she saw it was Zanzan: "Today went by so fast."

Taking a shower at home feels like dragging your feet.

Zhou Yanqian hummed in agreement. Jin Xi went back to the bathroom to check and make sure the water was turned off before taking him to the yard: "You can play by yourself for a while, dinner will be ready soon."

She hummed a jasmine flower tune as she returned to the kitchen. The potatoes and ribs were already tender, and even the broth had become much richer.

It looks very tempting.

Jinxi adjusted the seasoning, added some fragrant scallion segments, and then took it out of the pot!

Dinner was eaten in the main room. Zhou Yanqian was quite surprised to see a meat dish and a vegetable dish on the table.

I was just surprised when I was eating the steamed egg custard, but now I'm astonished.

This dish of potato ribs and stir-fried lettuce looks quite appetizing.

When did this woman become such a good cook?

Jinxi picked up her chopsticks and placed a spare rib on his plate: "It's stewed until very tender, try one."

Zhou Yanqian picked up his chopsticks and hesitantly put the piece of pork rib into his mouth.

The meat was so tender that you could easily bite it off the bone without even using your teeth. It was coated with a thin layer of mashed potatoes, and the savory and meaty flavors were perfectly combined with the fresh aroma of green peppers.

These green peppers aren't spicy at all, but they add a unique flavor to this potato and pork rib dish.

This was the first time Zhou Yanqian had ever thought this dish was so delicious.

My family cook has also made potato and pork ribs this way before, but both dishes are very separate and don't have mashed potatoes.

Seeing his expression, Jinxi felt a little relieved.

It seems he likes to eat it.

She was just worried that Zan Zan would be a picky eater, but she didn't expect him to be so easy to take care of.

She added ribs and potatoes to his bowl, saying, "Blow on them when you eat, so you don't burn yourself."

Zhou Yanqian gave a muffled "hmm" without looking up, and continued eating the ribs in his bowl.

Jinxi then put some vegetables on his plate: "You should eat leafy greens too."

Zhou Yanqian didn't really want to eat, but since it was already in his bowl, under Jin Xi's watchful gaze, he had no choice but to hold his breath and eat it.

Mmm... crisp and sweet.

It wasn't as bad as other green vegetables; it turns out lettuce isn't just good for wrapping grilled meat.

After watching him finish eating all the vegetables, Jinxi felt relieved and started eating herself.

Indeed, no one can resist pork ribs stewed with potatoes!

After eating and drinking her fill, Jinxi quickly tidied up the kitchen, took a quick shower, and dried her hair. Just as she was about to call Zanzan over to wash her hair, she found that he had already fallen asleep in bed.

I guess I'm exhausted today.

Jinxi stood by the bed for a while, and the production crew had already placed her phone on the bedside table.

She picked up her phone, muted it, and recorded a short message for Zhou Lin before quietly climbing into bed.

Unexpectedly, the noise woke him up. Zan Zan opened his eyes groggily, but before he could see clearly, he felt a familiar force patting him, and his eyes closed again on their own.

Jinxi was startled. She breathed a sigh of relief and filmed him for a while longer. After listening to his breathing calm down completely, she tucked him in, opened her phone and browsed for a while. She searched for their show and found that there were already behind-the-scenes photos.

But most of the photos are of the other guests, especially Jin Yun and Yuan Yuan, which are particularly numerous.

Jin Yun is now a popular young actress with many enthusiastic fans.

She glanced at the comments section with great interest; it was full of praise and anticipation.

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from Zhou Linxu, she guessed he was busy at the moment, yawned, and put her phone back.

She was sleepy too, so she went to sleep!

Jinxi turned off the light and closed her eyes. Before she could fall asleep, she felt a slap the size of a sandbag land mercilessly on her shoulder.

Jinxi: ...

She opened her eyes and sighed softly, recalling the "spectacle" of Zan Zan doing aerobics in bed late last night.

She turned slightly to her side, adjusted Zan Zan's sleeping position, and pressed her arm against the blanket to gently keep him from moving.

Tonight, everyone, have a good night's sleep!

Zhou Linxu finished a meeting, and it was currently the break time.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and pinched the bridge of his nose. His phone was still playing a video that Jinxi had sent two hours earlier, showing Zanzan sleeping peacefully in the dim light.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Boss, when are we going back?"

This business trip has been longer than usual, but thankfully, it's finally coming to an end.

Looking at the tall buildings outside, Zhou Linxu replied, "Buy the fastest ticket."

The meeting was originally scheduled for five days, but Zhou Linxu needed to go back and make decisions on some company projects. So after visiting all the important people over the past two days, Zhou Linxu prepared to go back early.

The assistant had already checked the flight schedule and said, "There's a flight back to Jincheng at 2 PM tomorrow."

Zhou Linxu hummed in agreement, indicating that he understood.

The assistant nodded and prepared to book the tickets.

Zhou Linxu looked out the floor-to-ceiling window again, and suddenly recalled the scene from that phone call where Zan Zan refused to say another word to him.

He asked, "Is there any service to Yuncheng?"

Yuncheng?

The assistant was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that the madam and young master had been in Yuncheng for the past few days.

He immediately took out his phone to check: "There's a bus to Yuncheng at 7 a.m. tomorrow, that's the fastest."

Zhou Linxu didn't answer immediately. After waiting a while, his assistant, estimating that Zhou Linxu had thought it through, finally asked, "Boss, are we going back to Jincheng or to Yuncheng?"

"Buy from Yuncheng."

The assistant hummed in agreement and was about to leave when Zhou Linxu added, "Tell the driver to wait for me downstairs."

The assistant was a little confused. There was a lecture in two hours. Where was the boss going again?

But don't try to guess what the boss is thinking. The assistant agreed and went out to make the arrangements.
