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

My hands are already washed clean, and no matter how much I dawdle, I still have to face it.

When Jinxi led Zanzan out, Zhou Linxu was already sitting at the dining table, with an open laptop on his left. The laptop's glow illuminated his face, making his expression completely visible.

I don't know what he was dealing with; his brows were slightly furrowed, and his lips were pursed into a straight line, making him look very unhappy.

Zhou Linxu's expressionless face was very intimidating. Jin Xi blinked, realizing that sitting at the same table with the boss was indeed quite stressful.

However, Jinxi was very resilient. She led Zanzan over, originally intending to sit on one side with Zhou Linxu, so that Zanzan could naturally sit between the two of them.

But Zan Zan, that clever little devil, seemed to have seen through her intentions, and just as she was about to get close to the table, he pulled her to the other side.

Zhou Yanqian sneered; he had no intention of sitting with that man!

However, after he sat down, Zhou Yanqian realized that sitting opposite him didn't seem to be a good idea either.

He faced the man directly.

There are two dining tables in the villa. This small dining table is what he and Jinxi usually use, so even if they are facing each other, they are only an arm's length apart, not to mention that the man is over 1.8 meters tall with long arms and legs.

Zhou Yanqian was disappointed again. Why was he three years old?

If he were eighteen, he would be over 1.8 meters tall, at least in terms of presence he wouldn't be inferior!

After the two children sat down, Zhou Linxu also put his computer aside.

Jinxi thought about it for a moment. After all, Zhou Linxu was her lucky charm now, so she had to show him some concern out of both affection and reason.

She said, "Did something happen? I noticed you've been frowning the whole time."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Linxu raised his hand and pressed it against his brow, replying softly, "It's nothing."

He picked up his chopsticks and placed the peeled shrimp meat into Zan Zan's bowl: "Eat more of what you like."

Zhou Linxu looked at Zan Zan sitting opposite him. He hadn't seen Zan Zan for two months. This time, Zan Zan seemed to have grown taller, gained some weight in his face, and had a rosier complexion.

More importantly, his gaze was no longer timid and evasive; instead, it had become much calmer.

Zhou Linxu breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Jin Xi had taken good care of Zan Zan.

Zhou Yanqian looked at the shrimp in his bowl, his feelings quite complicated.

Surprisingly, this man knew what he liked to eat.

However, he quickly dismissed the thought. It was easy to know what he liked to eat. Jinxi, Butler Zhao, and every nanny who had taken care of him in the villa would tell him without hesitation.

Zhou Yanqian wanted to throw the shrimp away, but Jinxi, who was standing next to him, put vegetables on his plate: "Every grain is hard-earned, we can't waste food."

Zhou Yanqian's expression turned grim. He looked at Jinxi, but Jinxi picked up another shrimp for him: "Eat up, we still need to go see your gift after you finish eating."

Oh, I almost forgot.

Jinxi said that if he finishes coloring the sketchbook, he will give him a gift when he gets home.

Zhou Yanqian glanced at Zhou Linxu indifferently, feeling there was no need to argue with him.

He's lived two lives, so he still has that much magnanimity.

After figuring it out, he lowered his head and started eating. He hadn't felt it in the car, but now he was really hungry.

Zhou Linxu did notice the glance Zanzan had given him earlier, and although he quickly concealed it, Zhou Linxu still caught it.

Carefully, with a hint of curiosity, she eventually started eating in silence, no one knowing what she was thinking.

Her little face was almost buried in the bowl.

Zhou Linxu sighed almost imperceptibly. He said, "Sit down properly. You need to eat something..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Jin Xi interrupted him.

"Oh! This lotus root sandwich is so delicious, baby, have a taste."

Jinxi placed a lotus root sandwich in Zhou Yanqian's bowl, then wiped his cheeks with a tissue and said with a smile, "Is baby's little face hungry today too?"

Zhou Linxu looked at Zan Zan, who blinked once, then picked up his baby chopsticks and started eating lotus root sandwiches. This time, however, he didn't bury his face in the bowl, and his posture was much more upright.

Zhou Yanqian took a bite of the lotus root sandwich. The meat filling inside was fresh, tender, and juicy, which suited his taste perfectly.

Jinxi gave a thumbs up: "You're amazing, baby! I knew you were the best eater, you never cause any trouble for the adults."

Zhou Yanqian glanced at her sideways. Of course, he wasn't really three years old!

Jinxi firmly placed more vegetables on his plate. Zhou Yanqian frowned. He had already eaten one piece. Why did he need to eat more?

Just as she was about to explode, Jinxi said in a sigh, "Baby is so much better than other babies. While other three-year-olds are still being fed by adults, baby can already eat vegetables by himself. I really want to try feeding baby what it feels like."

Zhou Linxu: ?

Zhou Linxu couldn't help but look at Jin Xi. What was she rambling on about?

When Zanzan was brought back, he no longer needed to be fed; he could hold the bowl and spoon and eat by himself.

Moreover, Zan Zan doesn't like eating vegetables at all. Every time I cook them in his rice, he always manages to spit them out perfectly.

But the next second, he saw Zan Zan frown his little eyebrows, then pick up the baby chopsticks and eat the vegetables without saying a word.

Jinxi sighed, "Why don't you stop eating and I'll feed you?"

Zhou Yanqian scoffed inwardly; he would never give Jin Xi a reason to feed him.

Otherwise, vegetables would be constantly being stuffed into his mouth.

He had already seen through Jin Xi's scheme. Bad woman, don't even think about it!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Linxu felt his brain become much smoother. He ate it.

Did you just eat it so easily?

Jinxi picked up some shrimp for him: "Eat more so you can grow up to be as tall, big, and strong as your dad."

Zhou Yanqian slowed down his chewing, and when he talked about his father, his gaze unconsciously drifted to the opposite side of the table.

He happened to run into Zhou Linxu's somewhat somber gaze.

The father and son looked at each other. Zhou Yanqian wanted to look away, but then he thought about it again.

Why should he be the one to dodge? He's the president of Zhou's Group, and he's lived twice. Moving aside like this makes it seem like he's afraid of Zhou Linxu and is showing weakness to him.

How ridiculous, he's not faking it at all.

Zhou Linxu quietly watched his son. The two, one big and one small, seemed to be competing with each other, staring intently at one another.

In the end, Zhou Linxu was the first to move. He picked up his chopsticks and put some vegetables on Zan Zan's plate: "Eat more leafy greens. A balanced diet is essential for growing taller."

After saying that, he thought about what Jinxi had just said and thoughtfully added, "Otherwise, you'll stay like this forever and become a dwarf."

Zhou Yanqian looked at the half-eaten bowl of vegetables and was so angry he almost fainted.

Provoke him?

This man actually dared to provoke him?

Not only did they provoke him, they also called him a shorty.

Upon hearing this, Jinxi couldn't help but raise her head.

After she and Zhou Linxu made eye contact, Zhou Linxu even slightly raised his chin, as if to affirm himself.

Jinxi: ...
