After Marrying the Officer Chapter 788 She Really Has a Token

"This..." After a mont of contemplation, Xia Chuyi finally said, "Co to think of it, I do have a piece of jade that’s been with since I was little."

As she spoke, the joyful expression and tone Xia Chuyi had just a mont ago had all receded.

"That jade, I heard it was left to by my father," Xia Chuyi said with a slightly solemn expression.

Then, as she spoke, she took out the Heavenly Book Jade from her pocket.

This Heavenly Book Jade had many secrets—not only the secret of space rebirth but also the reason why Xia Lan wanted to steal the jade.

In any case, she had long wanted to find an appropriate chance to take out the jade and investigate its origins.

However, the Heavenly Book Jade was too important to her, and she did not dare to show it to just anyone.

Now, because she had taken "ancient jade" to show to Huo Shiqian, and he had asked her if she had any other jade, combined with the fact that she already trusted Huo Shiqian completely—it was a good opportunity. She naturally took out the jade to clear things up.

In the future, whether she planned to investigate its origins or tell Huo Shiqian her ultimate secret, this would serve as a foundation.

Seeing that Xia Chuyi had indeed taken out a piece of jade, Huo Shiqian was slightly taken aback.

"You, really have jade?" Huo Shiqian’s eyes flickered, and he asked confirmatively.

"Mmm." Xia Chuyi nodded and handed the jade to Huo Shiqian, saying, "Here, this is it. Have a look."

"However, it’s just an ordinary piece of white jade, and its quality is quite average," Xia Chuyi added nonchalantly.

Naturally, the true form of the Heavenly Book Jade was not so ordinary.

But to keep it from being coveted, the Heavenly Book Jade’s guise was just a piece of rather ordinary jade.

Of course, while the "jade’s" quality was ordinary, its shape was like a small, round bamboo slip, which was quite interesting.

Otherwise, the elders would not have bestowed it upon an infant to wear.

Huo Shiqian took the jade and examined it closely, then covertly compared it with the "token jade" described by Ou Jun.

"This jade..." Huo Shiqian’s gaze grew complicated.

However, it was only for an instant before he regained his composure and said to Xia Chuyi, "The quality of this jade is indeed pretty average."

"However, its design is unique and interesting, and also has its value." Huo Shiqian suddenly embraced Xia Chuyi in his arms and said, "Your elders, they treated you well."

Seeing Huo Shiqian’s reaction, Xia Chuyi thought he was feeling sorry for her fatherless state, her heart ward, and she hugged him back, saying, "Yeah, I know."

"Although the elders aren’t around anymore, having this jade feels like they are always protecting ," Xia Chuyi said from the heart.

It was precisely the "protection" of the elders that allowed her to be reborn and have a chance to make ands.

The two held each other tightly for a mont before Huo Shiqian released her and said, "Chuyi, keep the jade safe. In the future, it will be of use."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Yeah, I know."

Then, they did not continue the topic any further.

For Xia Chuyi, she would tell Huo Shiqian about the Heavenly Book Jade, but not now.

For Huo Shiqian, the ergence of the Heavenly Book Jade simply further confird their original speculation—that Chuyi might very well be Ou Jiao.

And the real core issue was that Mother Xia would not admit under any circumstances that Chuyi was not her biological child.

So, the confirmation of Chuyi’s identity would ultimately depend on the DNA test results.

Huo Shiqian returned the Heavenly Book Jade to Xia Chuyi.
