After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

"Mother, it's so nice here!" The soft little dumpling wrapped his arms around Lin Hao's neck and affectionately rubbed his tender cheeks against Lin Hao's face, his voice clear and melodious.

Lin Hao smiled and gently stroked the little boy's head, saying, "You like it here? Then we'll come and play here often, okay?"

The little boy nodded with bright eyes, then suddenly seemed to remember something, propped himself up and looked at Lin Hao, "And Grandmother and Father!"

What a good child who knows how to share! Lin Hao kissed the little dumpling's cheek: "Okay, let's come as a family sometime!"

The little boy happily nuzzled against Lin Hao's neck; he really loved his mother!

"Baby hasn't told me yet if soaking in hot springs is fun?" Lin Hao moved to the side, keeping a little distance from the little bun, and then looked into his eyes.

Because she thought that since Xiao Huzi had gone to so much trouble to come along, it wouldn't make sense for Xiao Baozi to soak in the hot spring while he just watched, she and the two children soaked separately.

Thinking about it, I feel like I'm becoming more and more adapted to this era. Even a child like me, who hasn't grown up yet, subconsciously avoids suspicion. Back then, she wouldn't blush while swimming with many grown men. Sigh... the environment really does change a person!

"It's so much fun!" Little Baozi nodded vigorously. It was his first time taking a bath with other children his age. It was much more interesting than bathing alone. They talked and splashed water together. It was so much fun!

He was also surprised to find a red birthmark on Xiaohuzi's shoulder, which looked like a gold ingot. He reached out and touched it, but couldn't feel any trace of it.

However, the little dumpling's nose twitched, as if it could still smell the hot spring pool. It frowned, and its delicate little face showed a hint of disgust.

"It tastes a little strange!" He stretched out his little hand and gestured with his thumb and forefinger to indicate that it really was just a little bit strange.

Actually, what I was really thinking was, it's not just a little bit, it's much more than that!

However, he worried that if he told the truth, his mother wouldn't let him go anymore. So, he felt a little guilty, wondering if his mother would find out he was lying.

Lin Hao watched his eyes darting around, and how he avoided looking at her. She knew perfectly well that he wasn't telling her the truth. As for what he was hiding, even a fool could guess it was just childish tricks. She wasn't going to be that naive adult and wouldn't expose him!

“Okay, then you can soak for a while every day from now on,” she said casually.

"Phew~" The little bun breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing: Great, Mother probably hasn't found out!

They hadn't had enough fun today, but their mother said they couldn't stay in the water too long, so they had to come out. However, the thought of playing in the water with Little Tiger every day from now on made him grin. He'd tell Little Tiger the good news tomorrow!

The night breeze was slightly cool. The mother and son had just soaked in the hot spring and their bodies were a little warm. They didn't feel cold at all, but rather felt very comfortable!

The two chatted casually, and before they knew it, Fu Cui and the others could no longer hear the sounds from inside; only the wind outside the window continued to whisper among the leaves.
