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

Jinxi reacted quickly. She picked up the puppy toy and squeezed it: "Today it followed you to make flower cakes and took a plane. We'll wash it tomorrow. It's such a pity that the baby threw away such a cute puppy toy."

Zhou Yanqian remained silent.

Jinxi was at a loss, so she just patted his head and glanced at Zhou Linxu.

He was now looking at Zan Zan, as if he was thinking about something, and he remained silent.

Jinxi didn't know what to say, but she held the puppy toy in her hand, while she couldn't help but ponder.

It seems that the relationship between this father and son is really... not very good.

That makes sense, since in the novel, the father and son don't act like father and son, but like subordinates.

This must have been formed overnight.

Jinxi never expected that the rift between the father and son would begin so early.

Because Zan Zan suddenly lost his temper, the car became much quieter.

Upon arriving at the villa, Jinxi got out of the car and turned around to lift Zanzan out of the car. Just then, Zhou Linxu also came around, seemingly wanting to reach out and hold Zanzan's hand.

However, Jinxi saw that Zanzan gave him a very cold look, then crossed her arms and rushed straight into the villa.

Jinxi thought to herself that she had seen this scene before.

But this time it wasn't aimed at her.

It seems the problem is much more serious than she imagined.

She looked at the man standing beside her and said, "Let's go in too."

Zhou Linxu nodded slightly, and Jin Xi couldn't help but whisper to comfort him, "Don't take it to heart. You and Zanzan haven't seen each other for too long, it's normal for the child to be upset for a while."

She thought for a moment and then said, "How about this, you go sleep with him tonight? And tell him why you haven't come back to see him lately. Zan Zan is smart, if you explain it to him, he won't be angry anymore."

Zhou Linxu's gaze lingered on her face for a while longer. Jin Xi touched her face and asked, "...Is there something on my face?"

Zhou Linxu simply said, "You've changed a lot."

He had noticed it during their brief meeting last night, but he hadn't paid much attention. Only after hearing what Jinxi said just now did he realize that she had truly changed.

The previous Jinxi would never have said these things.

Jinxi laughed twice: "We haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, so it's normal that you think I've changed."

She didn't intend to say anything more to Zhou Linxu, and hurriedly walked into the villa after leaving a single sentence.

Although she hadn't intended to hide the fact that she wasn't the original owner of the body, when she actually heard Zhou Linxu say those words, she couldn't help but subconsciously want to slip away.

Zhou Linxu stared at Jin Xi's back for a few seconds before finally walking home.

As soon as Jinxi entered the house, she smelled the aroma of food.

She and Zan Zan had lunch late, and when the airplane meals were served, they were already full, so they didn't eat much.

Now, the smell of food makes me feel hungry.

Butler Zhao was talking to Zan Zan when he saw her come in. He said, "Madam, dinner is ready. Please have some first. I'll go pack up the things."

"Thank you for your help, Butler Zhao." Jinxi casually placed her bag on the sofa and then reached out her hand to Zanzan: "Come on, baby, let me take you to wash your hands."

Zhou Yanqian saw her reach out her hand and subconsciously extended his own.

By the time he realized he was home and no longer needed to listen to Jinxi, Jinxi had already taken his hand to the nearest kitchen, picked him up, and made him wash his hands clean.

Zhou Yanqian didn't rush out after washing his hands, because he knew that the man was also in the living room.

He preferred to stay by Jinxi's side rather than endure the suffocating silence.

At least now, Jinxi will talk to him very patiently.

After washing her hands, Jinxi saw that he was still standing next to her and tilted her head.

Finally, she crouched down and asked in a deliberately low voice, "Baby, can you tell me why you don't want to stay with Daddy?"

Zan Zan was clearly angry with Zhou Linxu, but Jin Xi couldn't quite figure out where his anger came from.

Logically speaking, even if a girl hasn't seen her father for a long time and is angry, she should become closer to him after a short period of time.

Zhou Yanqian looked at Jin Xi's somewhat puzzled face, but just pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Jinxi thought for a moment, then explained softly, "Daddy wasn't home before because he had to go to work. Daddy can only buy things that I and the baby like when he's working."

Zhou Yanqian's brows furrowed slightly; he hadn't expected Jin Xi to say something like that to him.

Jinxi raised her hand and cupped his little face, affectionately stroking it: "But, it's wrong to make baby unhappy, so baby, give Daddy a chance to make amends, okay?"

Zhou Yanqian tried to take his head back, but Jin Xi held it tightly, not allowing him to tilt his head.

Jinxi patted his soft cheek again. She originally just wanted to coax this little rascal, but the feel of his cheek was really nice!

"Happy New Year!"

Hearing Zan Zan's angry voice, Jin Xi finally came to her senses and withdrew her hand somewhat guiltily, but as she withdrew her hand, she couldn't help but touch it a couple more times.

Children at this age are at their most tender, and their hands feel even better than those kneaded by Jinxi in the market.

Zhou Yanqian was furious with Jin Xi. This woman had just given him a little kindness and she was already taking advantage of him!

Is his face something she can just touch and rub?

Seeing his sulky expression, Jinxi pinched his little shoulder: "Alright, alright, baby, are you willing to give Daddy a chance to change his ways?"

Why are we back to this question again?

Zhou Yanqian didn't want to answer the question at all, because even if Zhou Linxu were given a hundred or ten thousand chances.

He wouldn't love this son who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Jinxi looked at Zanzan, who was pursing her lips again, and sighed inwardly, knowing that this matter could not be resolved immediately.

She said, "I know Zan Zan is a smart and decisive child. Please think this over carefully, okay? Before you decide whether to give Daddy a chance to change his ways, let's be a little more amicable, okay?"

That's something I can agree to.

After all, he is only three years old and is no match for that man.

Zhou Yanqian slightly raised his rounded chin: "Mm."

Jinxi couldn't resist cupping his face and stroking it again: "You're simply the kindest baby in the whole world!"

Then, before Zan Zan could completely lose her temper, she withdrew her hand, pretended nothing had happened, and went to wash her hands again.

Zhou Yanqian laughed out of genuine anger, and then pinched his cheek again, complaining that his face wasn't clean!

Jinxi turned around and saw Zanzan smirking, but she skillfully pretended not to see it.

Otherwise, if Zan Zan finds out, he'll start acting like a cool guy again.

Sure enough, even children need to be given a way out.

Especially Zan Zan, that stubborn little bull.
