Old Madam Ye noticed his stifled expression and suppressed her amusement, kindly advising, "We are all family, there's no need to be embarrassed."
Ye Rongyuan stood still for a while before giving up the struggle.
"All right."
Although his initial impression may not have been perfect, he would make an effort to redeem himself in front of Ann.
With this in mind, Ye Rongyuan approached Ann slowly, his steps measured.
He kneeled, maintaining eye contact with her, carefully observing her.
Perhaps the Qin family had taken good care of Ann, as she had a healthy complexion and a slightly chubby face.
Ye Rongyuan had heard that the orphanage where Ann had been "taken in" had been demolished by the Qin family, and the whereabouts of the orphanage director remained unknown.
It was evident that something had happened to Ann in the orphanage for the Qin family to take such drastic measures.
Ye Rongyuan extended his hands and gently embraced Ann.
"Ann, you've suffered."
