While Yao Tang may appear cold, Yao Yuan knew for a fact that she was just a little girl searching for a father's love. At her tender age, who wouldn't want a father who'd give her everything under the sun?
Moreover, it wasn't as if he had directly insulted or harmed her. It was all Qin Man and Yao Ran's doing. What they had done was not related to his actual thoughts or actions. In fact, had he not treated her civilly this entire time?
Yao Tang had grown up in the mountains for the past eighteen years. It's obvious that she greatly needed her parents' care.
With just a few words from him, he could make her return and even get along with Yao Ran.
It would be good for all of them.
If it wouldn't be a harmonious start, then he'd have to find a way to discipline the both of them. Maybe then, they'd start getting along.
However, just as he had been thinking of ways in getting them to play along, he heard Yao Tang's faint voice.
