The reunion was always brief, and Yi Luowa eventually had to return to Xiawu.
The next day, the family went to the airport. The night before, Yi Luowa had agreed with her parents and younger brother not to cry, but when it was time to actually leave, she and her mother and brother still clung to each other and sobbed uncontrollably.
Emperor Haotian held back his tears and gently pulled his wife out of their daughter's embrace. "Don't cry now, you'll scare the kids. If you miss her in a few days, I'll take you to Xiawu myself."
Queen Haotian restrained her tears and waved at her daughter. "Hurry up and get going."
Step by step, Yi Luowa ascended the boarding stairs, turning her head with every step. Once she reached the cabin door, she stood there for a long time, unwilling to go inside.
Tong Airui extended his hand to help her up, but Yi Luowa quickly grabbed onto the cabin door and begged, "Let me look at my mom one more time."
