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

Jinxi reacted quickly after seeing the message.

Over the past two nights, she and Zhou Linxu had a few brief chats, but they all revolved around the child, Zan Zan.

Jinxi glanced back at Zanzan and took a picture of his sleeping face.

[Just fell asleep. These past two nights I've been sleeping like a gymnast, only staying still at this time of night.]

[Zhou Linxu: Okay.]

Before Jin Xi could even catch her breath, another message from Zhou Linxu arrived: "I'm in the yard."

She was still a little confused when she saw this sentence. What did it mean that he was in the yard?

In just a few seconds, Jinxi instantly understood what he meant.

I instinctively wanted to sit up abruptly in bed, but then I remembered that there was a child sleeping next to me.

Jinxi got up slightly less, tiptoed out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and hurriedly left the bedroom.

Zhou Linxu was in the courtyard.

Zhou Linxu is here?!

Jinxi opened the door to the main room. The staff had already left. The lights in the courtyard were off, and all the staff had left early.

It was quiet at the moment, with only the moonlight overhead and the streetlights outside the door barely illuminating the courtyard.

The man who sent the message to Jinxi had his head slightly lowered, and the light from the phone screen in his hand illuminated his face more clearly.

He seems to be waiting for news from Jinxi.

He only slightly raised his head when he heard the door open, shifting his gaze from the screen to what was directly in front of him.

Jinxi stood in the dark room and thus came face to face with Zhou Linxu.

The house had been raised by a step, but at that moment, their eyes met perfectly, neither too high nor too low.

Is this Zhou Linxu?

Although she had glimpsed his face in the original owner's memories, Jin Xi still subconsciously gasped when she actually saw him in person.

Even though he was standing against the light, Jinxi could still clearly see his face.

He looked indifferent at the moment, merely raising his eyelids to glance at her lazily. He had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, deep features, and a very smooth jawline.

Seemingly having been watched for a while, a slight look of doubt appeared on Zhou Linxu's face.

The Jinxi of the past would never have stared at him like that.

Zhou Linxu called out softly, "Jin Xi."

Jinxi snapped out of her daze, first humming in agreement, then letting out an "oh."

She stepped out of the dimly lit room, but her gaze couldn't help but linger on Zhou Linxu.

Yuncheng is warm during the day, but it's not quite summer yet, and it's still a bit chilly at night.

Zhou Linxu wore a white shirt, the hem of which was tucked into well-tailored suit trousers.

Although it was just a simple shirt and suit pants, it perfectly outlined his physique: broad shoulders, narrow waist, long arms and legs, and muscles bulging as if they were about to burst out of the shirt.

He casually rolled up his sleeves, revealing a section of his arm. Although the light was dim, the moonlight still made him appear pale.

As he got closer, Jinxi finally understood why the original owner of this body was so attracted to him.

He's an absolutely stunning, fair-skinned, handsome guy. How many of those exist in real life?

You can only see it in novels.

If she remembered correctly, Zhou Linxu was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but his temperament was already far beyond that of his peers. When he was expressionless, he could also give people an invisible sense of pressure that was hard to look at directly.

Jinxi stopped in front of him, her height only reaching Zhou Linxu's collarbone.

How tall is this person? Jin Xi is actually quite tall, but compared to Zhou Linxu, she looks much smaller.

She tilted her head slightly, and Zhou Linxu happened to be looking at her at that moment.

He wanted to say something, but when he saw Jinxi looking up at him with an almost scrutinizing gaze, the words stuck in his throat.

Zhou Linxu merely frowned slightly. It had only been a little over two months since they last met, yet Jin Xi seemed like a completely different person.

She had never looked at me with such scrutinizing eyes before, nor had she stared at me so intently.

He pursed his lips slightly and called her name again: "Jinxi".

Unlike the voice on the phone, this person's voice truly reached Jinxi's ears.

She blinked lightly and sighed, but her mouth spoke faster than her brain: "You're really good-looking."

After Jinxi finished speaking, she instantly regained her senses.

Oh no, what nonsense is she spouting!

This is not a short video! This is not a drill!

However, who can blame them when Zhou Linxu looks so challenging for cadres!

Zhou Linxu's expression froze for a moment, and Jin Xi didn't miss it. She immediately coughed twice, pretending that nothing had happened: "Well, it's rather chilly outside, let's go inside."

Zhou Linxu's gaze swept over her fake smile, but he didn't say anything and walked straight into the house.

Jin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and secretly slapped the back of her hand twice. What nonsense is she talking about all day long?

How could she be so disrespectful to the God of Wealth!

When Zhou Linxu glanced at her just now, she almost thought she was going to get her pay docked.

Thankfully, this God of Wealth seems to be quite kind.

Jin Xi composed herself and quietly led Zhou Linxu back to the bedroom.

There was only one nightlight on in the bedroom, but it was enough for the two adults to see everything inside.

Zhou Linxu walked to the bedside. Although he blocked half of the light, he could still see the sleeping child on the bed.

His expression seemed to soften considerably.

Zan Zan is sleeping soundly right now, covered up tightly with the blanket, only her little head is sticking out.

She looks much stronger than in the photos sent by Butler Zhao, so it seems that Jinxi's stepmother is doing a good job.

Zhou Linxu stared at it for a few moments before pulling a small, fluffy doll out of his suit trousers. The doll was only the size of a palm.

Jinxi couldn't help but take a look. The little doll was shaped like a puppy, and it looked very similar to the Abebe puppy that Zanzan kept at home.

Zhou Linxu then looked at Jinxi again, his voice much softer: "You've worked hard."

Jinxi quickly waved her hand and pointed outside the bedroom, meaning to go outside and talk.

Talking in the bedroom might wake Zan Zan up.

Zhou Linxu didn't want to wake Zan Zan, but he still turned around and glanced at Zan Zan a few more times before leaving.
