Chapter 42: Seeing the Letter

Hearing Jiang Li speak in such a manner, Jiang Yuanbai was momentarily stunned, not knowing what expression he should wear at this moment.

The girl before him had somehow grown into a slender young lady. She looked even more delicate and frail than Jiang Youyao, and her eyes and brows bore a closer resemblance to his own. When he had sent Jiang Li to the temple, she was only seven years old, still a chubby little girl. Eight years had flown by, turning the chubby girl into a beautiful maiden, yet also erasing the last traces of familiarity.

Jiang Yuanbai felt estranged.

After all, he had missed eight years of Jiang Li's life, so much so that the Jiang Li in his memory was still the ignorant, capricious, and spoiled brat. When that child stood in front of him, her clear eyes asking calmly for what she wanted, Jiang Yuanbai didn't know how to respond.
