Lady Qin, upon entering, first caught sight of a bright and serene young woman standing not far from the entrance; only then did she recognize that faintly familiar face.
She gazed at the lady dressed in light purple, with her soft facial features creating a momentarily dazed feeling in her.
Indeed, she had changed, even her appearance was vastly different from the past. The sharp intensity that once graced her brows and eyes had turned into a bright and lively spirit, and the eyes that met hers no longer held that innate condescension but now carried a cautious probe and composure.
That probe turned into a gentle smile upon meeting her gaze, "The younger generation pays respect to Mrs. Qin, you must have had a tiresome journey."
Ye Xinyan curtsied, then guided Lady Qin to the chief seat in the small private room, "Please have a seat, Mrs. Qin."
Lady Qin hurried to support her arm, saying, "Miss Ye, you're too polite. Making you wait for so long was impolite of me."
