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

Jinxi found a barbecue restaurant. There weren't many people there at the time, and she even chose a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window.

After ordering his meal by scanning the QR code, Zhou Yanqian fidgeted and twisted around.

Jinxi asked in confusion, "Have you grown thorns on your butt?"

"Xiao Xi!" Zhou Yanqian said unhappily, "You're so uncivilized!"

Jinxi chuckled, "Oh, well, sorry then. So what are you doing, wriggling around like that, trying to put on a dance for me?"

Zhou Yanqian coughed lightly: "I want to play on my phone."

He's so bored right now, he's just sitting here!

Jin Xi said, "Children shouldn't play with mobile phones."

Despite saying that, she still handed him her phone: "You can only play with it for a little while."

Zhou Yanqian skillfully entered the password: "Oh."

He was about to open the match-3 game when Jinxi received a new message on WeChat.

Jinxi clicked on it first; it was a short video sent by the pet hospital.

In the video, Da Huang and Xiao Huang were much more lively today, whimpering and acting cute when placed on the table.

Jinxi laughed and said, "You also act cute like this."

That's utter nonsense!

Zhou Yanqian said, "I'm not sobbing."

"You're already whimpering now." Jinxi raised an eyebrow.

After Zhou Yanqian realized what was happening, he couldn't help but turn his head and bite Jin Xi's arm.

The pressure was like a tickle. Jinxi clicked her tongue lightly and said, "The ones in the video are Big Yellow and Little Yellow, so you're Middle Yellow. I think you're their older brother, you little rascal."

Zhou Yanqian snorted. Who told Jinxi to bully people?

However, he leaned against Jinxi instead, his cheeks squeezing together, and said, "They are very good today."

Its tail kept wagging, like its bottom was about to fall off.

Jinxi said, "Yes, it's a very affectionate puppy."

Zhou Yanqian became hesitant again: "My house is actually quite big."

Zhou Linxu may not be good at other things, but he's very good at making money!

Moreover, he receives a lot of New Year's money, and he can inherit the Zhou Group in the future, so his assets will be very large.

It's more than enough to raise two puppies.

Jinxi pursed her lips, pretending not to understand what he meant, and simply replied, "Yes, the house is very big."

Upon hearing Jin Xi's words, Zhou Yanqian subconsciously looked up at her, but he lost control of his strength and almost fell backward.

Jinxi quickly grabbed his shoulder to prevent him from falling backward: "What's wrong? Are you going to sleep on the floor?"

"I didn't." Zhou Yanqian puffed out his cheeks and finally said, "Then if you like Big Yellow and Little Yellow, then, then take them home."

Jinxi raised an eyebrow and deliberately sighed, "Let's forget it. Aren't you afraid of dogs?"

"They're so small, I'm not afraid at all." Zhou Yanqian looked at the video playing on repeat: "They're not even as big as my foot."

That's a gross exaggeration.

But Jinxi didn't expose him and continued, "My dad and I are busy with work, butler Zhao has things to do, and the other nannies also have work to do. If we bring them back, we won't be able to take care of them."

"I can take care of them!" Zhou Yanqian said. "They're so small, what if they get bullied by the big dogs at the animal shelter?"

Jinxi deliberately feigned surprise: "Baby, are you going to take care of them? Taking care of puppies isn't something you can do in a day or two. You not only need to be responsible, but you also need to teach them to be kind and lovable dogs."

Actually, after suggesting taking the dog home, Zhou Yanqian became less hesitant and said, "Easy!"

Why not just let Da Huang and Xiao Huang learn from him? He felt like the kindest and cutest kid right now, after all, even though Jin Xi was so naughty, he was willing to treat her kindly!

Jinxi said, "Okay, I agree."

Before Zhou Yanqian could relax, he heard Jin Xi say, "You can talk to your dad later. If he agrees, we'll go pick up Da Huang and Xiao Huang this afternoon."

Why do I need to tell Zhou Linxu?

Zhou Yanqian looked left and right, then fell silent.

"I know you heard me," Jinxi said. "I'm not buying it. Dahuang and Xiaohuang will be your puppies from now on, so of course you should tell Daddy."

Just then, Zhou Linxu arrived. As soon as he entered, he saw Jinxi and Zanzan.

Zan Zan looked awkward and didn't seem to be doing anything.

Especially when he arrived, both of her eyebrows furrowed.

Zhou Linxu thought for a moment. He hadn't done anything to upset Zan Zan today; they even drove him to work this morning.

After quickly recalling what had happened, Zhou Linxu slowly walked over, sat down, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jinxi nudged Zanzan's little shoulder.

Zhou Yanqian looked at Zhou Linxu sitting opposite him and said in a low voice, "I want to raise Big Yellow and Little Yellow."

What?

Zhou Linxu didn't quite hear him: "What do you want to raise?"

Zhou Yanqian took a deep breath: "I want to raise Big Yellow and Little Yellow!"

This time Zhou Linxu understood, but he was still somewhat puzzled: "Who are Da Huang and Xiao Huang?"

Seeing that Zan Zan was about to "break," Jin Xi took the initiative to explain: "They are the two puppies we rescued yesterday. Da Huang and Xiao Huang are temporary nicknames given to them by the hospital."

Zhou Linxu remembered. He wanted to say yes, but when he met Jin Xi's eyes, he unexpectedly understood what Jin Xi meant.

He hesitated for three seconds before speaking, "Those are two little lives. If we bring them back, we'll need to take care of them. Can you do that?"

"Of course I can." Zhou Yanqian looked at him with disdain: "My little dog, of course I'll take care of it!"

I won't be like Zhou Linxu, who doesn't take care of his own child!

"Okay," Zhou Linxu said, "Then let's bring them back."

For a moment, Zhou Yanqian was still a little unaccustomed to it.

Zhou Yanqian stared at him several times. Was it really that simple? Was it really that easy?

In his previous life, whenever he wanted to do something, the first thing he would receive was rejection.
