When Xi Cheng was eight years old, his mother had fallen ill and passed away. The jade pendant was the silhouette of his mother’s once glorious and wealthy family. Therefore, even when she was in urgent need of medical fees in the late stages of cancer, his mother did not sell the jade pendant. Instead, she left this jade pendant behind for Xi Cheng before her death.

Later on, when Xi Cheng was living a hard life, he would rather work as a mercenary and earn some money with his life on the line than have any thoughts about selling that jade pendant.

Xi Cheng had inherited the family and grasped unparalleled authority, but he had also been accidentally injured in a power struggle. Not only had his spine been injured and he was disabled, but he had also injured his head, causing him to lose part of his memories. He had lost this jade pendant, which meant a lot to him. He had sent people to search for it and had also asked people to pay attention to the auctions held in various countries all year round, but they had never been able to find any traces of the jade pendant.

It was only when his head was injured a few years ago and Xi Cheng remembered that he was already married that he realized that the jade pendant might have been given to his wife as a love token. Only then did Xi Cheng change the direction of his search.

He gently caressed the patterns on the jade pendant. At that moment, he seemed to be recalling the nervousness and anticipation he felt when he handed the jade pendant to his wife back then.

The jade pendant was the same as before, but things had changed. When he recalled how he had missed so many years with his wife, Xi Cheng’s heart was filled with bitterness.

The man who had always had a strong personality and seemed like he wouldn’t be beaten down by any suffering couldn’t help but feel his throat tighten. “I once thought that I might never see it again in this lifetime.”

Si Huan could not share Xi Cheng’s feelings. He was silent for a moment and said sincerely, “Auntie Ding kept the jade pendant very well. If it wasn’t because she had to pay the Huo Family’s 20 million yuan living expenses, she probably wouldn’t have taken it out in her entire life. Uncle Xi, this is enough to show how deep Auntie Ding’s feelings for you are.”

Xi Cheng looked guilty and pitiful as he sighed. “It’s my fault for making her wait for so many years.”

Si Huan said, “Auntie Ding’s wait has finally borne fruit. She should be happy.”

Ever since he confirmed that Huo Tian was his daughter, Xi Cheng’s impression of Si Huan had taken a 180-degree turn. The kid who looked quite pleasing to the eye suddenly became detestable. However, no matter how much he disliked this wolf who was circling around his daughter, Xi Cheng could not put on an ugly expression when facing Si Huan’s sincere consolation.

Just as the atmosphere became a little awkward, Huo Tian walked in with light footsteps.

Under the butler’s loving feeding, Huo Tian ate until her tummy bulged. Fortunately, her physique had slowly improved after the souls had fused, and the influence from the souls caused her to be unable to get fat easily. Otherwise, she would have to worry about her weight like other girls.

Xi Cheng looked at Huo Tian’s satisfied expression and could not help but smile dotingly. “Tiantian, it seems like the food the butler prepared suits your taste.”

Huo Tian praised generously, “Uncle Xi, your family’s chef is really amazing. The desserts he makes are even better than the ones at the Michelin restaurants.”

She wasn’t too concerned about the distance that should be followed in social situations, to begin with. Moreover, she was too familiar with Si Huan, so she subconsciously sat down beside him.

Si Huan sensitively realized that two sharp gazes were shooting at him. He turned around and saw that Xi Cheng’s gaze was indeed filled with viciousness.

Even though Si Huan had always been calm and collected, he was also feeling a little uncomfortable from Xi Cheng’s stare. It was just that Huo Tian was exceptionally insensitive. She didn’t realize that there was anything wrong with the way Xi Cheng was looking at her and Si Huan. She only felt that it seemed a little cold, so she moved closer to Si Huan.

Si Huan’s body temperature passed onto her from the spot where their arms touched, but it didn’t warm Huo Tian up.

“That’s strange, why does it feel even colder than before?”
