After resting in the lounge for less than the time it took to burn an incense stick, Shen Hanyu was gently feeding Snow Empress sweet cakes. Watching her delicate lips open and close, Shen Hanyu had to admit that his thoughts had wandered somewhere inappropriate.
Snow Empress leaned against Shen Hanyu, her long legs crossed together. For a moment, the scene was strangely warm, and the air was thick with the sickly sweetness of romance.
Just as the two were enjoying their time alone, the lounge door was slowly pushed open from outside. Several little heads then poked in furtively.
Shen Hanyu found it rather amusing. He casually pinched Snow Empress's fair, jade-like cheek and said,
"Come in, all of you. What are you hiding for?"
The three girls pouted before slowly filing inside one after another. Shui Ningbing followed behind them at an unhurried pace, smiling, her complexion looking better and better.
Shen Hanyu looked over the three girls, then at Shui Ningbing, and said with a smile,
"It's been a long time."
Shen Liuyu clenched her fists and said somewhat sarcastically,
"So someone still remembers he has a biological sister. Not a word from you for over a year. Anyone who didn't know better would think you and Sister-in-law weren't planning to come back..."
Snow Empress noticed what Shen Liuyu called her, but she did not dwell on it. After all, the girl had not called her the wrong thing.
Shen Hanyu spread his hands helplessly and said,
"Snow Empress and I don't stay in one place for long, and the places we go are mostly sparsely populated human forbidden zones. There wasn't even a way to send word..."
Shen Liuyu rolled her eyes. She really wanted to go up and give her stupid brother a proper hug,
