"Mom, where are Dad and my brother?" Ai Ni asked as she took her son from Tong Yao's arms.
"Your sister-in-law's parents will be arriving soon. Your dad and brother went with Uncle Muta to the airport." Tong Yao smiled as she glanced at the Queen of Beidi. "We should head to the palace shortly as well."
"I think I'll skip it." The Queen of Beidi chuckled uncomfortably. "I usually avoid such occasions."
Yi Luowa smiled at her. "Auntie, I'll go with you. It's good to attend these gatherings more often. Chatting with everyone will brighten your mood."
"Exactly. Just go and sit for a bit. Besides, Tong Yao and Luowa will be there with you." Yan Zi affectionately tousled Ziyan's hair. "Your grandma will be here soon—are you excited?"
Ziyan nodded with a grin. "Happy!"
Sangyu turned her head towards her mother. "Mama, when is Grandma arriving?"
"She'll be here soon. You two play with your little brother for a while, then go get changed."
