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

The two, one big and one small, remained in this strange stalemate.

Zhou Linxu looked at him, who was still, and asked with a rare hint of doubt, "Don't you like touching the lamp the most?"

Hearing the man say this, Zhou Yanqian vaguely remembered something.

When Zhou Linxu brought him back, he left him in this villa. He would come back every night, but during the day, only he, the nanny, and the housekeeper Zhao were at home.

He was just a child then, and he was terrified every day in the empty, unfamiliar environment.

She wasn't familiar with anyone else and didn't dare to speak to them, so every day she could only wait anxiously for him to come back and keep her company.

But the man would come home very late. Occasionally, when I ran into him because I hadn't slept, he would just perfunctorily pick me up and touch the light in the children's room.

He longed for his father's love, so he was naturally happy.

It wasn't until later that he pieced together the truth from other people's words. The reason he was brought back was entirely due to pressure. If he had the choice, the man wouldn't have brought him back.

People call him a bastard or an illegitimate child, and that's not entirely wrong.

Then, I don't know what he was thinking, he got married again and found himself a wicked stepmother.

Zhou Yanqian glanced at Jin Xi. In her previous life, she was a vicious stepmother; in this life, she's a sparrow stepmother, chattering away.

But he could tell that Jinxi wanted to get along well with him. Whether it was genuine or not, he was willing to play along with her in a "motherly love and filial piety" act until she revealed her true feelings.

But he couldn't understand what Zhou Linxu wanted to do.

Not only Zhou Yanqian was thinking, but Zhou Linxu was also thinking.

Does Zan Zan not like playing the light-touching game?

Just then, Zhou Linxu remembered a video that Butler Zhao had sent him before, in which Jinxi was holding him and spinning him around.

Does he like spinning around now?

Just as Zhou Linxu was about to pick up Zanzan and spin her around a few times, he was interrupted by someone else.

"The lights have been on for so long, they must be really hot to the touch, right?" Jinxi couldn't stand it anymore: "Why don't we just play during the day?"

Zhou Linxu pursed his lips. He was so focused on getting closer to Zan Zan that he had forgotten all about common sense.

He let Zan Zan sit on his arm, and with his long fingers tugged at the hem of his shirt. The father and son looked at each other in silence.

Upon seeing this scene, Jinxi closed her eyes.

She realized that Zhou Linxu really didn't know how to take care of children.

However, what must be faced must be faced.

Jinxi thought for a moment and said, "It's late, Zanzan should take a shower and go to bed."

Zhou Yanqian shifted his buttocks on Zhou Linxu's arm. This man's hand was as hard as a rock, and his buttocks hurt when he sat on it.

In this respect, Zhou Linxu is truly inferior to Ru Xi.

So for the first time, Zhou Yanqian took the initiative to open his arms to Jin Xi, not wanting Zhou Linxu to hug him.

Jinxi looked at Zanzan, who was standing with his arms outstretched towards her, and his expression was grumpy, but he wanted a hug.

After thinking for a moment, she took him from Zhou Linxu's hands.

As soon as Zhou Yanqian got into Jin Xi's arms, he buried his face in her shoulder, looking like he didn't want to talk.

Jinxi couldn't resist and lightly patted his bottom.

This time, Zan Zan only wriggled perfunctorily, still not showing her face.

I refuse to see any guests. I hope some people will have some self-respect.

Zhou Linxu watched Zan Zan's retreating figure as she refused.

Even those who don't understand children's language understand it very well now.

Zan Zan was really angry this time; she was truly furious.

Jinxi felt the two slender arms around her neck tightening, and said helplessly, "I can't breathe."

Only then did I feel much better about my neck.

This stalemate isn't going to work, so Jinxi looked at Zhou Linxu and said, "Let's go upstairs and take a shower."

Zhou Linxu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and followed Jin Xi into the elevator.

Throughout this time, seemingly aware that he was also there, Zan Zan never raised his head.

The two adults exchanged a silent glance, neither of them speaking.

This is really unusual for Zan Zan.

Jinxi was afraid that Zhou Linxu would misunderstand and think that she had whispered something like "Daddy doesn't want you anymore" in Zanzan's ear.

But then I thought about it again. She hadn’t said it, but the original owner and others had always intentionally or unintentionally instilled it in Zan Zan.

Children are sensitive, and given that Zhou Linxu hadn't been back for a long time, it's normal for misunderstandings to arise.

When the two arrived at the children's room, Zanzan reluctantly got off Jinxi.

Jinxi sent Zhou Linxu to Zanzan's dressing room and asked him to find pajamas for Zanzan.

After he left, Jinxi squatted down and asked, "Didn't you promise me you'd be nicer to Daddy?"

Zhou Yanqian wanted to say that he had been very friendly; he hadn't been so mean as to spit on Zhou Linxu!

What more do you want from him?

Jinxi was also brainstorming at the moment, but she couldn't do anything about it, since this matter couldn't be rushed.

However, seeing that Zan Zan looked a bit sullen, she blinked and said gently, "Baby, are you tired today?"

Zhou Yanqian hummed in agreement. "How could I not be tired?"

He has the body of a child now. Although he has been exercising with Jinxi recently and his physical strength has improved, his energy is still limited.

Jinxi gently coaxed, "In that case, wouldn't it be tiring for baby to take a bath by himself?"

Zhou Yanqian hummed in agreement, then said seriously, "You still need to take a shower."

He is a clean child, unlike other children who are not so tidy!

And now that he's back, he's going to scrub every inch of his skin clean!

Jinxi then asked, "Would the baby like to take a super relaxing and super clean bath?"

Zhou Yanqian didn't know what Jin Xi was up to, but he was small and taking a bath was indeed a bit difficult for him.

His round eyes darted around. Jinxi always had a lot of ideas. He hummed in agreement, knowing Jinxi's temperament, and added, "I want to, but I don't want you to wash me."

Jinxi clapped her hands: "Great! I didn't intend to wash you anyway, you stinky baby, so embarrassing."

Zhou Yanqian couldn't help but lean back, wanting to collapse onto his spaceship bed, but Jin Xi nimbly scooped him up: "You're all dirty, don't lie on the bed."

Zhou Linxu also came out of the dressing room with Zanzan's pajamas. The children's pajamas looked like tiny pieces of cloth in his hands.

Hearing Jinxi talking about teaching Zanzan, I walked over to listen.

Just as he reached Jinxi's side, Jinxi stood up and made a flower-scattering gesture with both hands next to Zhou Linxu: "Ta-da! Your free bath attendant is online! Little Zan Zan, now strip naked and let the bath attendant give you a good wash!"

Zhou Linxu tilted his head and looked at her. The bathhouse attendant? Him?

But what I saw was the same unwavering determination that Jinxi showed when she joined the Party.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at Zan Zan sitting on the bed with her eyes wide open.

...Okay, he is.
