Lin Ruize lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, muttering, "I'm very tall." His voice was so childish that it made him look even cuter.

After dinner, Lin Yuelin offered to help her aunt clean up the dishes. She skipped to the kitchen and put on a small apron. The apron was a little big for her, but she still tried her best to tie it tightly.

She followed her aunt's example and began to carefully clean up the dishes and stack the plates one by one. Although her movements were a little clumsy, she was very serious.

Lin Wanyi looked at her daughter's back and smiled with relief. She walked into the kitchen, patted Lin Yuelin on the shoulder and said, "Yuelin is really sensible, but be careful not to break the plate." Lin Yuelin turned around and said with a smile, "Mom, I will be careful."

Jiang Tingyan took Lin Ruize to the living room to play with toys. Lin Ruize took out a set of building blocks from the toy box and said to Jiang Tingyan excitedly, "Dad, let's build a castle."

Jiang Tingyan smiled and nodded, and sat on the carpet with Lin Ruize and started to build blocks. Although Lin Ruize was young, he had a rich imagination. While building blocks, he said, "There should be a big door here so that the princess can go in." Jiang Tingyan cooperated with him and continued to improve the block castle according to his ideas. The two had a lot of fun.

After a while, Lin Yuelin came to the living room after cleaning up the dishes. She saw her father and brother playing with building blocks, so she ran over to join them.

She picked up some building blocks and started to help decorate the castle, placing some small flower and tree blocks around the castle to make it look more beautiful. When Lin Ruize saw her sister coming, she said happily, "Sister, do you think our castle looks good?" Lin Yuelin smiled and said, "It looks great, Runze is really amazing."

Just when the family was having fun, the phone suddenly rang. Jiang Tingyan got up to answer the phone, and after listening to a few words, his face changed slightly and his brows frowned.

Lin Wanyi noticed the change in Jiang Tingyan's expression and couldn't help feeling a little worried. She walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong, husband?"

After Jiang Tingyan hung up the phone, he looked at Lin Wanyi and said slowly: "There is something urgent at the law firm. I may have to go and deal with it."

Although Lin Wanyi felt a little disappointed, she nodded in understanding and said, "Go ahead, and be careful on the road."

Jiang Tingyan changed his clothes in a hurry. Before leaving, he kissed Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize on the head and said, "My dears, Daddy has something to go out for a while. You must listen to Mommy." Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize nodded sensibly and said in unison, "Goodbye, Daddy."

After Jiang Tingyan left, Lin Wanyi took the two children back to the room and prepared to tell them stories to put them to sleep.

Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize lay in the warm bed, looking at Lin Wanyi with sparkling eyes, expecting her to tell a story. Lin Wanyi sat on the bed, picked up a fairy tale book, and began to read softly: "Once upon a time, there was a beautiful kingdom, and in the kingdom there was a brave prince..." Her voice was soft and soothing, like a beautiful lullaby, and slowly, Lin Yuelin and Lin Ruize's eyelids began to fight, and soon they fell into a sweet dream.

Lin Wanyi looked at the two children's peaceful sleeping faces, gently kissed each of them on the forehead, and then tiptoed out of the room.

She came to the living room and sat on the sofa. She was a little worried about Jiang Tingyan's situation at the law firm, but she also knew that Jiang Tingyan was a capable person and would be able to handle those things. She turned on the TV and randomly picked a program to watch, waiting for Jiang Tingyan's return. After about two hours, Jiang Tingyan finally came back. He looked a little tired, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes, but seeing Lin Wanyi still waiting for him in the living room, his heart was still warm.

He walked over to Lin Wanyi and sat down. Lin Wanyi quickly got up and poured a cup of hot water for Jiang Tingyan, handed it to him, and said, "You must be tired. Drink some hot water."

Jiang Tingyan took the hot water, drank a sip, then held Lin Wanyi's hand and said, "Thank you, wife, the matter at the law firm has been dealt with, don't worry."

Lin Wanyi smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good. I knew you could do it."

The two of them sat on the sofa, holding hands, enjoying this moment of tranquility. Jiang Tingyan sighed softly, leaned back on the sofa, and closed his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to dispel the fatigue of running all the way. Lin Wanyi looked at him sideways, her eyes full of heartache. She reached out and gently stroked Jiang Tingyan's slightly messy hair, and said softly: "Don't tire yourself too much in the future. The law firm's affairs are important, but you have to take care of your body too."

Jiang Tingyan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Wanyi, his eyes full of gratitude and love. He held Lin Wanyi's hand tightly and responded: "Don't worry, wife, I know. Today, thanks to you taking such good care of the children at home, otherwise I wouldn't be able to handle things with peace of mind outside."

Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Taking care of the children is what I should do. Besides, Yuelin and Ruize are so sensible and obedient, so it won't be tiring to take care of them."

As they were talking, a breeze suddenly blew in from the window, gently lifting the curtains and bringing a hint of the coolness of the night. Lin Wanyi couldn't help but shiver. When Jiang Tingyan noticed it, he quickly got up and got a thin blanket, gently covered Lin Wanyi, and carefully tucked the corners, saying, "Don't catch a cold, the temperature drops quite quickly tonight."

Lin Wanyi felt warm in her heart. She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket and leaned closer to Jiang Tingyan. The two of them fell into a warm silence again.

After a while, Lin Wanyi seemed to remember something, sat up straight and said, "By the way, husband, how about we take the kids to the suburbs for a picnic this weekend? Yuelin was talking about going a few days ago, so this is a good opportunity for you to relax."

Jiang Tingyan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He nodded in agreement and said, "That's a good idea. We haven't taken the kids out to play for a long time. Let's go on a picnic in the suburbs. I'll prepare the barbecue grill and we can grill some chicken wings, lamb skewers, etc. that the kids like."

Lin Wanyi also became excited. She smiled and said, "Then I will prepare some fruits, salads and snacks, and bring a picnic mat and tent so that the children can rest for a while when they are tired from playing."

The two of them discussed the details of the weekend picnic, and they seemed to have seen the children running, laughing and playing happily on the grass in the suburbs, with happy smiles on their faces.
