She threw herself into Bai Youyuan's arms, "Uncle, Uncle..."
"There, there!" Bai Youyuan gently patted her back, utterly indulgent. Yet, his eyes slowly turned red.

"Uncle, since you found me long ago, why didn't you recognize me earlier?" Bai Xiao wiped her eyes, asking sadly.
Bai Youyuan's gaze darkened, and he said, "Sorry, I had my own unavoidable difficulties."
"Indeed, the family has been tumultuous these years. Bai Xiao, don't blame Youyuan; he was also trying to protect you." Baidie said.
"What's happened at home?" A sense of unease rose in Bai Xiao's heart.
"The Bai Family, with its noble lineage, is as substantial as the Ye Family. The senior family head hasn't been well these years, and there was a bit of internal strife. But it's all settled now." Bai Youyuan said.
"Oh!" Bai Xiao somewhat understood.
