"Of course!" Lin Xiangwan said confidently and cheerfully. "Plus, Tongtong and Ranran have been extremely well-behaved, keeping Duoduo company. Don't believe me? Just watch!"

Lin Xiangwan turned on the video call, giving the children's father a view of their surroundings.

Qin Muchuan saw a plain, cramped room, with their daughter and son at Duoduo's bedside, animatedly explaining something.

"They are really well-behaved. Excellent!" praised Qin Muchuan.

Lin Xiangwan was equally filled with joy. "Yes, they really are better than we could have ever imagined!"

"Hmm..."

Lin Xiangwan contemplated for a moment before hesitantly asking, "Would you be happy if I didn't come home tonight?"

"Hmm?"

"And if I stayed here with Tongtong and Ranran, unable to return home, would you be happy then?" she asked again, giving the question more clarity.

"What would there be for me to be happy about?" he retorted.

"Wouldn't you have the chance to mess around? Isn't that a joyous thing?"
