"You're here." Shi Yuan stood up straight and smiled.
"Uncle!" His niece and nephews immediately ran over, wanting to cling themselves to Shi Che's body.
Shi Che bent down to hug them and carried them.
Empress Tuoba smiled gently and said, "Your brother was just talking about you. He asked if he should invite you to the palace for a meal. However, he was afraid that you might want to take a break on your own since it's such a rare opportunity to be away from work."
Shi Che picked up the little princess and let her sit on his arm. He smiled. "Thank you for thinking of me. You have a lot of love for family."
"Yes, he does." It was rare for Empress Tuoba to agree.
"I understand. I won't bother about you guys anymore." Shi Yuan smiled.
