The Empress was about to pick up Susu when she heard the news, and her hand paused on Susu's body.
Perhaps it had been too long since she left the palace, and having not seen the dog Emperor for quite a while, she suddenly felt somewhat guilty and at a loss upon hearing he was coming.
More than a month ago, the dog Emperor had already come close, but he had left temporarily due to urgent matters.
Only then did she feel at ease to stay for another month.
Although during that month, she often worried that the dog Emperor would appear out of nowhere and take her back to the palace regardless of anything.
Susu, seeing her royal grandma coming to pick her up, grinned with glee, her little arms reaching out eagerly for a hug.
But after waiting for a good while, the royal grandma did not pick her up, and the smile at the corner of Susu's mouth gradually faded, her black pearl-like eyes staring blankly at the royal grandma, puzzled as to why she wasn't being picked up.
