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

Zhou Linxu sat opposite the two, his gaze shifting from Zan Zan to Jin Xi.

It's only been two months since we last saw each other, and Zan Zan has become much more lively, but the biggest change is in Jin Xi.

Zhou Linxu's impression of this contract wife was actually just so-so. It was only when she rushed up to him and asked if he wanted to get married that he remembered that he did indeed have a fiancée.

At that time, I had just found Zan Zan, which was also the most tense time for the Zhou family.

He consulted the information and found that it was best for a child to have a mother's company, as this would make their personality and emotions much more stable. Considering all these factors, he signed a secret agreement with Jinxi at that time.

In the midst of his busy schedule, he did reflect on whether his decision was right or wrong, but his work kept him from devoting more time to his family.

But now it seems he did the right thing.

Regardless of whether Zan Zan is close to him or not, at least the child is happy now.

After finishing a hearty lunch, Jinxi asked, "What do you want to do next?"

Zhou Yanqian leaned back in his chair, thinking for a while, but couldn't come up with any fun activities.

In his previous life, he was rarely taken out. Even when he did go out, he would be quickly brought home, or he would be taken to some parties or similar events.

As he grew up, he basically lived a life between home and the company, occasionally going on business trips, or sometimes chasing after people and causing trouble for his rivals.

But all that trouble and chasing after people happened before Zhou Linxu passed away. After Zhou Linxu's death, his time became even more crowded, and he had no mind to think about those messy things. He was exhausted like a dog every day.

Then he died on the way to sweep Zhou Linxu's grave. Thinking about it that way, it's not so bad. At least Zhou Linxu's grave was clean before he died.

Zhou Yanqian looked at Zhou Linxu, and after meeting his gaze, he couldn't help but snort.

He was too filial. If he hadn't been even a little bit unfilial, he wouldn't have died in that car accident and then inexplicably been reborn.

Zhou Linxu looked at Zan Zan and snorted at him, somewhat confused. What had he done to offend this little brat?

He didn't say a word, he just breathed.

Jinxi glanced at her phone and suggested, "How about we go see a movie?"

"We have a home theater at home. If there's anything you'd like to watch, you can ask Butler Zhao to arrange it." Zhou Linxu looked at Jin Xi. "The house will be cleaner that way too."

Jinxi said, "That's fine. The air is better at home. We can buy some snacks to take back later and eat them while watching the movie."

Zhou Yanqian thought for a moment: "Buy popcorn."

He heard that popcorn is served at movies, but he doesn't like it.

Zhou Linxu raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over Zan Zan's round belly. Because he ate too much at noon, the buttons on his suit jacket were all undone.

Do you want to eat more?

Jinxi nodded: "Okay, let's buy some braised dishes and spicy strips too. Oh, no spicy strips, you can't eat them, so I'll have to eat them."

Zhou Yanqian pursed his lips upon hearing this. Who does he think he is?

Zhou Linxu silently observed the two of them, taking in their expressions.

Especially after seeing Zan Zan's smug expression, I couldn't help but think that it was a good thing I didn't say anything.

Otherwise, the cannons would be pointed at us.

The mall had a wide variety of products. Jinxi originally wanted to buy braised dishes, but Zhou Linxu said that the kitchen could make their own, which would be cleaner and more hygienic.

Jinxi suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream, "Oh yeah! She's a rich woman now, she has everything she could want!"

Zhou Linxu didn't know why Jin Xi suddenly laughed so strangely, but being a man of few words, he chose to remain silent.

Back home, Jinxi could already smell the rich aroma of braised food. Even though she had eaten a big lunch, the smell still made her mouth water.

Not only her, but Zan Zan couldn't help but peek into the kitchen as soon as she entered the house; it really smelled delicious.

Zhou Linxu was the last to enter the house. He slowly changed into his house shoes, and after glancing at the two pairs of "homeless" shoes, he sighed, bent down and neatly arranged the shoes, placing them in the shoe cabinet.

On her way back, Jinxi sent a message to Butler Zhao asking if she wanted to watch the latest movie. She went down to the basement and found that the movie room had been cleaned up and decorated with beautiful flowers. The huge, lit screen was the only source of light.

The sofa is also very large, and there is even one side where you can lie down comfortably to watch a movie. Even the blankets are folded very neatly.

Jinxi was extremely satisfied and placed the popcorn she had bought on the coffee table.

Butler Zhao is so thoughtful!

Butler Zhao then brought over two cups of flower tea and a cup of warm water: "Madam, the braised meat needs to soak for a while longer."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqian silently lowered his head. Why does it have to wait a while?

I don't really want to eat it, I just want to try it.

Jinxi agreed with a "Okay," and comfortably lay down on the sofa, exclaiming, "So comfortable!"

Zhou Linxu happened to come in at that moment. Hearing Jinxi's exclamation, he subconsciously looked up at her and saw Jinxi warmly inviting Zanzan to lie down on the sofa as well.

Zan Zan looked reluctant, but in the end she climbed onto the sofa and sat far away from her.

Jinxi said, "We're watching a horror movie today. You're sitting so far away, what if a ghost grabs you?"

Zhou Yanqian just glanced at her sideways. It's not like he can't read! They were watching a comedy today!

This woman is a master of talking nonsense!

He shifted his position further to the side, moving even further away from Jinxi.

Luckily, the sofa was big enough, so Jinxi was too lazy to move. If the sofa were smaller, Jinxi would have been unable to resist falling into its arms if she stretched out her hand.

Jin Xi didn't notice Zan Zan's little actions. Seeing Zhou Linxu arrive, she waved and said, "President Zhou, please sit down. The movie is about to start."

Zhou Linxu snapped out of his daze, walked over, and sat down on the other side of the sofa.

Come to think of it, it seems like it's been a long time since he last stepped into this home theater. The last time he watched a movie was with his brother...

Zhou Linxu looked at Zan Zan's face, and fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhou Yanqian noticed his gaze and turned to look at him as well.

Zhou Linxu looked away again.

Zhou Yanqian: ?

It's absolutely inexplicable!

Zhou Yanqian glanced at the distance between himself and Zhou Linxu, then moved aloofly closer to Jinxi. Once he was almost in the middle, he leaned back with satisfaction.

He visited this media room quite often in his previous life, but most of the time he was the only one sitting on the sofa.

Zhou Linxu is very busy, and even his casual friends don't visit his home.

As Zhou Yanqian pondered this, he casually moved closer to Jin Xi.

Jinxi pretended not to notice Zanzan's little actions and asked, "President Zhou, I've asked Butler Zhao to find several new movies. Are there any you'd like to see?"

"No, you can arrange it." Zhou Linxu looked at Jinxi, who was sitting cross-legged on the other side, and remembered what Uncle Li had just told him.

Uncle Li said she twisted someone's arm when she went out today, but looking at Jinxi's gentle and smiling face, she doesn't seem like the type to twist someone's arm.

However, the matter still needs to be resolved.

Zhou Linxu said, "Today's happiness."

When Jinxi heard Zhou Linxu call her name, she slightly raised her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Linxu asked, "What do you need a shop for?"

Jinxi scratched the ends of her hair: "I'm planning to... open a martial arts hobby class."

For some reason, Zhou Linxu's question made her a little nervous, as if she were being called out by the homeroom teacher.
