At dusk.
Dugu Bo arrived alone at Su Mo's manor.
At the moment, Su Mo was playing with the little ones, their laughter and cheerful voices ringing out without end.
Gu Yuena and the Snow Empress sat quietly in a pavilion some distance away, chatting softly. From time to time, they smiled as they looked over at Su Mo and the others.
The scene looked like a warm, harmonious, and beautiful painting.
Just then, Dugu Bo strode to a spot not far in front of Su Mo and respectfully bowed.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"No need for formalities," Su Mo said indifferently.
"Grandfather." Seeing Dugu Bo arrive, Dugu Yan hurried over.
Dugu Bo took Dugu Yan's hand and respectfully said to Su Mo, "Your Highness, it is getting late. This subordinate will take Yanyan back first."
Su Mo nodded slightly.
At that moment, Su Lingling ran over.
Taking Dugu Yan's hand, she said, "Yanyan, remember to come play with me again tomorrow."
Dugu Yan did not speak, merely looking timidly at Su Mo.
Su Mo smiled and nodded. "You can come play with Lingling anytime."

"Thank you, Your Highness," Dugu Yan said obediently.
"Your Highness, then this subordinate will take Yanyan back first," Dugu Bo said.
"Go on." Su Mo nodded.
"This subordinate takes his leave." With that, Dugu Bo took Dugu Yan's hand, turned, and left.
"Goodbye, Yanyan," Su Lingling said, waving.
"Goodbye, Sister Yanyan," Su Lingxi said as she waved as well.
After playing together all day, Su Lingxi had also grown very fond of Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan turned back and waved with a smile. "Goodbye, Sister Lingling. Goodbye, Lingxi."
Before long, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan had left
