Ye Ying gingerly got to her feet, then looked up just as cautiously, revealing an obedient smile, "Big sister."
"Mm, come here," Ye Zao beckoned.
Ye Ying hurried over, tilting her head back, "Big sister is pretty."
"Mm, such a good girl." Ye Zao looked at her slightly thin and timid gaze, and couldn't help but feel a twinge of heartache.
Even though it was their first meeting, she felt a sense of closeness.
Perhaps it was because she had her own child now, so she couldn't stand to see other children being wronged.
This child was born out of wedlock to begin with, unlike her and Ye Gui's childhood, when all the children at home were of similar status, with no distinctions of legitimacy.
This girl was different, with a pair of legitimate siblings above her, how much affection could she receive?
With a new mother now in place and her maternal aunt having passed away, one can only imagine what her life had been like.
