After the meal, Su Jingjing also made a fruit cake.
"Yuanyuan, your mother is amazing, she can do everything."
Xiaolin gave a thumbs up and said enviously.
Yuanyuan nodded proudly and listed them one by one, "My mom can also make pies, milk tea... and so many other things."
Xiaolin swallowed hard. What kind of heavenly food was this? She'd never even heard of it.
"Here, one piece of cake for each person, and get more if you need more."
Su Jingjing cut the cake and handed it to the children.
Xiaoyun and her beloved are both quiet and not the type of children who take initiative.
"Thank you, Aunt Jingjing!"
The three thanked her sweetly.
"Don't be shy, eat more."
Suddenly, Lin Xin'ai's elegant cake-eating scene caught Chen Shufang's attention. She looked at Su Jingjing and asked, "What's the name of that quiet girl in the green coat?"
"Mom, her name is Lin Xin'ai, and she has a really good personality."
Su Jingjing whispered to her mother-in-law, "Mom, do you think she and An'an are a good match?"
Chen Shufang said in disbelief, "You mean..."
But An'an is also cold-hearted. If she finds someone else with a quiet personality, wouldn't the two of them never say a word to each other all day long?
"Mom, maybe An'an likes girls like that."
However, the children are still young, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.
An An has also changed a lot. His personality shouldn't become stubborn as he grows up. He and his beloved may end up as strangers, or they may love each other for a lifetime.
Regardless of what their birthdays were like before they turned five, at least the children's fifth birthday is unforgettable. In the days to come, Su Jingjing will slowly erase the unpleasant memories that An'an and Yuanyuan had.
Even in the evening, Yuanyuan was still excited.
"Mom, I'm so happy today! Thank you, Mom. Yuanyuan loves you, Mom."
The little guy suddenly gave her a soft, sweet kiss on the cheek, his voice as gentle as a porcelain doll's.
She turned her head to look at An'an in a childish voice, and said in a serious tone, "Brother, you should kiss Mommy too."
An'an blushed and gently touched Su Jingjing's cheek. "Mom, thank you."
"When I grow up, I want to celebrate my mom's birthday too."
"Thank you, my two little darlings. Mommy will wait for that day."
After saying that, Su Jingjing hugged her two children tightly with happiness. At that moment, she felt like she had the whole world.
When Li Hanting pushed open the door, he saw his wife being dominated by the children, and his brows furrowed instantly.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Dad, we're waiting for you."
Yuan Yuan shifted her little bottom and patted the spot beside her.
Li Hanting raised his voice slightly, "Wife, will the children sleep with us tonight?"
Su Jingjing pretended not to understand what the man meant, "Today is also the children's birthday, it doesn't seem bad for the four of us to sleep together."
Seeing that Li Hanting seemed a little unhappy, Yuanyuan quickly grabbed his hand and pleaded, "Daddy, I have one last birthday wish, which is for our whole family to sleep together, okay?"
His daughter pouted and looked at him; how could he possibly refuse?
"Yay, Daddy is so good, Yuanyuan loves Daddy."
Su Jingjing was amused by her daughter; she's now the family's source of joy.
Li Hanting rested his hands behind his head, staring intently at his wife. With their daughter between them, he couldn't make a move directly, so he had to wait until his daughter was asleep before taking any action.
"Dad, I want to hear a story."
Yuanyuan rolled around on the bed for a few seconds and then perked up again.
What story would you like to hear?
The little guy lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his round head and said, "I want to hear the story of Snow White."
Li Hanting straightened up, opened the storybook, and began to read in a low voice.
It has to be said that a man's voice is very soothing to the ears, and Su Jingjing gradually fell asleep after becoming engrossed in listening to it.
Gradually, I could faintly hear even breathing sounds coming from beside me.
An'an whispered a reminder, "Dad, Mom and my sister are sleeping."
Li Hanting looked down and saw two very similar faces, even their sleeping postures were exactly the same.
His eyes curved slightly, as if he were smiling.
I put down the storybook, tucked them in, and whispered to An'an, "Go to sleep."
Goodnight, Daddy.
She opened her eyes again less than two seconds after closing them, saying, "Dad, I'm so happy today, thank you."
After saying that, she seemed shy and quickly turned around.
A slight ripple appeared on Li Hanting's expression, followed by a knowing chuckle.
Their family's life will only get happier from now on.
The next day, kindergarten
Lin Xin'ai secretly glanced at An'an's location.
Huh, where did An'an go?
He took a piece of drawing paper from the drawer and ran out of the classroom.
An'an noticed a petite figure and looked up at Lin Xin'ai, "Why are you here?"
Lin Xin'ai hesitated for a moment before taking out the drawing paper, looking uneasy. "An'an, this is my birthday present for you. I don't have money to buy anything expensive, so it's just a simple drawing. I hope you won't mind."
An An's eyes flickered. Yesterday, he saw his sister treasure the painting. After asking her, he learned that it was a gift from Lin Xin'ai, but he didn't have one.
She turned her head away haughtily, "Then why didn't you give it to me yesterday?"
He didn't know why he cared so much.
Lin Xin'ai was momentarily speechless upon hearing his questioning tone.
"I... there were too many people yesterday, so I was too embarrassed to give it to you. Is it too late to give it to you now?"
"It's not too late." Seeing the hurt in her eyes, An'an felt a pang of pity. "Didn't you say you were going to give it to me?"
As he spoke, he reached out his hand.
Lin Xin'ai hurriedly handed it to him, looking at him expectantly.
"Um, isn't it ugly? How about I draw you another one next time when my drawing skills have improved?"
"You said it yourself, and I took it seriously."
An An was very satisfied with the painting, even though it made him look a little ugly, it wasn't unacceptable.
"ah?"
"What? Are you just saying that casually?"
Lin Xin'ai quickly waved her hand, "No...no, I'll draw another one next time."
"Let's go, class is about to start."
An'an walked ahead, smiling slightly.
Back in her seat, Yuanyuan leaned over, her face full of gossip, "Brother, what were you laughing at just now?"
No, you're mistaken.
An'an coughed lightly, "The teacher is here."
Yuan Yuan said "Oh" and quickly sat up straight.

The weather has warmed up recently, and it's comfortable to wear just a light jacket.
Su Jingjing and He Zhaodi were picking vegetables in the garden.
"Jingjing, do you know that Li Aiqin is getting married?"
"who?"
Su Jingjing thought she had misheard.
Isn't this just a fake love rival of hers?
She hadn't heard this name in a long time, and suddenly she was a little slow to recognize it.
“Li Aiqin,” He Zhaodi repeated, “I only know that she found a decent man, and he’s recently made the betrothal proposal.”
