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

Jinxi had told the people at the pet store in advance that she would come to pick up Dahuang and Xiaohuang. When they arrived, Dahuang and Xiaohuang were already settled in their cages.

She also bought some dog food and milk powder for the puppy, buying a whole bunch of stuff. Luckily, the trunk was big enough, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to fit them all.

Zhou Yanqian sat in the back seat, while the cages containing Big Yellow and Little Yellow were placed on the passenger seat. From his angle, he could see the two puppies snuggling together inside the cages.

They were huddled together, fast asleep.

Jinxi glanced at the puppy and then at Zanzan's unblinking gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips. She then picked up her phone and went to report the current situation to Zhou Linxu.

After sending the message, Jinxi remembered something: "Why don't you think of new names for Dahuang and Xiaohuang?"

Zhou Yanqian snapped out of his daze and started thinking of a name.

The names "Big Yellow" and "Little Yellow" seem a bit arbitrary; it feels like many dogs are named Big Yellow or Little Yellow.

Zhou Yanqian thought for a long time before saying, "I can't figure it out."

Jinxi patted his little head: "Take your time to think it over. Once you've decided, I'll make them some custom dog tags."

"Alright," Zhou Yanqian said, "Why don't you want to?"

Jinxi said matter-of-factly, "This is your puppy, so of course you should name it."

She raised an eyebrow at Zan Zan: "What's wrong? Before I picked them up, you said you would take responsibility. If they do anything bad in the future, I'll be going to hold you, their little owner, accountable."

"They wouldn't do anything bad." Zhou Yanqian didn't believe him: "They're all very well-behaved puppies."

They can't make a sound, they just whine and act cute!

Jinxi, don't try to shift such a huge blame onto the little dog!

Jin Xi smiled without saying a word. There were indeed some spirit pearl puppies, but there were also demon pills.

When they arrived home, Uncle Li and Butler Zhao moved the things they bought into an empty room in the basement. Before the animals got used to the house, they were to live in the garage for the time being. Once they were a little older and wouldn't run around so much, they would move their dens.

The villa has a large yard, and these two puppies are very small, so they can easily find a hole and crawl out, making them impossible to find later.

After settling into their nest, Jinxi released Dahuang and Xiaohuang from their cages. The two little guys had slept the whole way and were now full of energy. Even the injured Xiaohuang was dragging its wounded legs around the room, seemingly patrolling its territory.

She turned around and saw Zan Zan standing in the doorway watching. Jin Xi waved her over: "Come here, what are you doing standing so far away?"

Zhou Yanqian hesitated for a moment, but still quickly walked over to Jinxi and squatted down. Jinxi made a few sucking sounds and saw Dahuang and Xiaohuang running over in a crooked way. Dahuang even fell and rolled a few times because it was running too fast.

How stupid.

Zhou Yanqian couldn't help but laugh at its appearance, but Da Huang quickly turned over and stood up, then started running towards Jin Xi in a crooked and unsteady manner.

Then she started whimpering.

Jinxi gently stroked its body with her fingertips, then turned her head encouragingly, "Baby, want to touch it too?"

Huh? He touches it too?

Zhou Yanqian hesitated for a moment, but seeing how the big yellow dog was acting cute under Jin Xi's care, he tentatively reached out his little hand.

Jinxi noticed his timidity, took his little hand, first let Dahuang smell his fingers, and then patted Dahuang's head while holding his little fingers.

What a wonderful feel! I never knew puppy fur was so soft.

Zhou Yanqian's fingers dug into Da Huang's fur. His warm little finger pressed against Da Huang's warm body. In that instant, the little dog and the dog felt closer.

Although Jinxi appears calm and composed on the surface, she is actually quite anxious. The last variety show scared the little one for a long time, and he would hide whenever he sees a dog. Even though Dahuang and Xiaohuang are just over two months old puppies, they are still dogs.

But now she breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew her hand. Zan Zan squatted down next to her and touched Da Huang's head and body with her little finger.

Little Yellow ran slower because of its injured hind leg, but it finally caught up. It whimpered as if it was dissatisfied, and Zan Zan only petted Big Yellow.

Zhou Yanqian glanced at the little yellow dog that had come closer, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his other little hand. Following Jin Xi's steps, he first let the little yellow dog smell his fingers, and then carefully touched its head and ears.

Big Yellow and Little Yellow were much more affectionate than I imagined. When Zan Zan petted them, they kept wagging their tails so fast it looked like their tails were about to break off.

Jinxi reminded Zanzan to go see it.

Zhou Yanqian's lips curled up slightly. Actually, puppies aren't that scary!

Both Dahuang and Xiaohuang are good dogs!

Jinxi slightly increased the distance between herself and Zanzan, and found that Zanzan only glanced at her, then replaced one finger with his whole chubby palm and sank into the soft belly of the two puppies.

Big Yellow and Little Yellow had already been touched by Zan Zan and had turned their bellies up on their own. They had been fed by the nurses at the hospital before they left, and their bellies were now round and bulging.

Zhou Yanqian relaxed and happily played with the puppy for a while.

Seeing that it was almost time, Jinxi said from the side, "Alright, let them rest and get used to their new home."

Zhou Yanqian said "Oh," and reluctantly withdrew his hand: "Then I'll come back to check on it after I've eaten."

"Okay, you can come anytime you want," Jinxi said. "I'll take you to wash your hands. Neither of them has had a bath yet. We'll take them to wash when they're a little older."

Zhou Yanqian looked down at his outstretched hands: "They're not dirty."

"That's because the nurse wiped them with a wet wipe," Jinxi said. "Don't be reluctant to leave, let's go upstairs."

Zhou Yanqian followed Jinxi to the door, and as he closed it, he turned his head to look back. The two puppies were now happily running around the room.

Since it was used as a temporary doghouse, everything inside had been moved out, so it's now bare, only slightly better than a bare-bones house.

Jinxi didn't rush him. After he had looked around enough, she closed the door, took Zanzan's hand, and went upstairs to wash herself carefully.

When Zhou Linxu returned, it was already six o'clock.

He changed his shoes and went into the living room. Jinxi was curled up on the sofa scrolling through her phone. He looked around.

Strange, where's Zan Zan?

I can usually see him within a meter of Jinxi, but why is he nowhere to be seen today?

Jinxi noticed his eyes darting around and prompted, "He's playing with the puppy downstairs."

After finishing the dumplings, he "sneaked" downstairs to play with the dog. Kids these days are curious about everything, so Jinxi pretended not to see him.

Zhou Linxu watched the video Jinxi sent, and saw that Zanzan was getting along very well with the two puppies.

Jinxi put her phone aside, tilted her head slightly, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Zhou Linxu shook his head: "Not yet."

"I saved some dumplings for you, I'll go cook them for you," Jinxi said as she stood up.

Zhou Linxu slowly took off his coat, casually rolling up the cuffs to his elbows: "Let Auntie cook it."

Jinxi said, "I told the aunties to go home first. Why don't you go downstairs and check on Zanzan? It should only take about ten minutes."

"I can do it myself," Zhou Linxu said. "It's hard on you taking care of Zanzan too."

The two have been communicating a lot via WeChat lately, mostly with Jinxi "reporting" on her and Zanzan's daily itinerary.

Sometimes, after he finishes his work, he has more than a dozen unread messages.

Jinxi chuckled lightly: "It's just cooking a few dumplings, nothing special."

Zhou Linxu didn't refuse any longer: "Okay, thank you."

Jinxi walked towards the kitchen, and after taking a few steps, she asked, "Are there any dietary restrictions on the dipping sauce? Can I eat spicy food? Do I need vinegar?"

Zhou Linxu didn't hesitate: "I can eat a little spicy food, but no vinegar and no cilantro."

Jinxi said "oh" and went into the kitchen to cook dumplings.

Zhou Linxu stared at her back for a few seconds before heading down to the basement to see Zan Zan, who was keeping the puppy company.
