Tong Yao was naturally overjoyed to see her son and daughter-in-law back home. She glanced at one, then the other, and said with a smile, "You've been away so long, but you haven't lost weight. Looks like being together has its perks."
"It's mostly because your daughter-in-law takes such good care of me." Tong Airui placed both hands on his mom's shoulders and took a look at her. "Mom, why do you look thinner? Don't tell me it's because you've been missing us."
Tong Yao shot a glance at Long Che, who was sitting beside her. "Of course I've been missing you two, but it's not to the point of losing weight. It's mostly because of a certain someone. You've been gone, and for as long as you've been away, he's been stirring things up. Who could stand that?"
Long Che coughed lightly. "Luowa, I hear your sister Tingting's planning to use you as a hostage to threaten Airui?"
Tong Yao glared at him. She'd barely brought up the topic, and he was already interrupting!
