Chapter 962: Chapter 48 We Have a Daughter (Monthly Ticket Bonus!)_4
 

“Except for when you sleep and charge it at night, you should always wear it on your wrist. Otherwise, if we can’t contact you, we’ll worry.”

Yan Qiaoqiao obviously liked the delicate watch very much, handling it fondly and fiddling with its various functions:

“Thank you, Brother Lin Xian, I’ll call you often.”

“Don’t just call for no reason.”

Zhao Yingjun instructed:

“That would disturb Brother Lin Xian. If there’s anything, just call me.”

After saying that, Zhao Yingjun looked up and smiled at Lin Xian:

“It’s still you who’s thoughtful. I didn’t even think of getting her something like this. I’ve always treated her like a child.”

Then,

Lin Xian took out a petite sapphire necklace from his backpack, obviously worth a lot.

Zhao Yingjun froze.

She truly did not expect Lin Xian to give her such an expensive gift!

She thought it would be something of similar value to the smartwatch, more symbolic than practical, but she never expected Lin Xian to be so serious this time!

“This…is very costly, isn’t it?”

She looked at Lin Xian:

“Have you struck it rich?”

“Soon.”

Lin Xian spoke honestly:

“I might become the richest man in the world any moment now.”

“Heh, for real?”

Zhao Yingjun didn’t believe him at all:

“Seeing how confident you are, I won’t feel guilty for accepting this gift. This sapphire necklace is really beautiful… Do you remember that pair of sapphire earrings I wore to a banquet before? The same pair you said looked pretty good.”

“Back then I told you, because I seldom wear blue clothes in my daily outfits, I can generally only wear them to go with blue dresses at banquets. But if I had this sapphire necklace to go with them… maybe that pair of earrings could see the light of day more often.”

Lin Xian unscrewed the spiral clasp at the back of the necklace and looked at Zhao Yingjun:

“Turn around, let me help you try it on, shall I?”

“Okay.”

Zhao Yingjun turned around, giving her fair back and neck to Lin Xian as they drew close to each other.

Lin Xian looped the sapphire necklace around her neck, then pinched the ends of the spiral clasp with both hands, accidentally twisting a strand of hair into the clasp and tightening it.

“Is it done?”

Zhao Yingjun instinctively twisted her neck:

“Ouch—”

A cry of pain escaped her as a strand of hair on the back of her neck was pulled out.

“Did it catch your hair?”

Lin Xian apologized:

“Sorry, it’s too dark, and I wasn’t careful while twisting it.”

Then,

he unscrewed the clasp, quietly kept the broken strand of hair, screwed it tight again, and released his hands:

“It’s on now, take a look.”

Zhao Yingjun lowered her head, touching the cool sapphire that was gradually warmed by her body temperature, and chuckled softly:

“Thank you, Lin Xian, I love it.”

It was already eight forty, but the fireworks show had still not started, the complaints and impatient calls from the crowd around them grew louder, and the square filled with noise.

Yan Qiaoqiao was engrossed with her new toy, the little genius phone watch, and had no time to look up at the couple who were being overly cautious.

At this moment,

it was as if the entire world had separated Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun.

Touching the sapphire pendant on the necklace, Zhao Yingjun had already guessed Lin Xian’s thoughts…

How to say it.

Is it really true that people not born of the same family won’t enter the same house?

The act of taking the hair that Lin Xian just did, hadn’t she done it before?

Originally, she had pulled a strand of hair from Yan Qiaoqiao’s head using a similar tactic, and she didn’t expect… today Lin Xian was Playing the Old Trick, and it inadvertently happened to her.

And recalling that morning, Lin Xian also plucked a strand of hair from Yan Qiaoqiao.

At this point in time, collecting hair from both people…

What else could it be for?

With only a moment’s thought, it became obvious—it was for DNA paternity testing.

Indeed.

[Lin Xian had indeed grown suspicious and started to doubt the true identity of Yan Qiaoqiao.]

Zhao Yingjun wasn’t surprised at all.

If it hadn’t been for her and her parents deceiving Lin Xian from the start, claiming Yan Qiaoqiao was a distant relative, Lin Xian would have probably grown suspicious long ago and wouldn’t have waited until now to sense that something was amiss.

It all began with the little girl Yu Xi.

Lin Xian seemed to have been searching for a little girl related to him by blood.

Only, Yu Xi was clearly the wrong person.

As for Yan Qiaoqiao… she was the little girl Lin Xian had been truly looking for.

Now that things had come to this,

since Lin Xian had noticed something off about Yan Qiaoqiao, Zhao Yingjun didn’t intend to keep hiding the truth. Her and her parents’ actions were what had misled Lin Xian’s thinking and affected his judgment, so it was only right to apologize.

“Sorry, Lin Xian.”

She turned her head and said softly:

“There really is something for which I need to say sorry to you… truly sorry for everything from start to finish; it was my mistake and my parents’, leading to this matter being kept from you until now.”

Lin Xian looked into Zhao Yingjun’s eyes:

“What is it?”

“Actually, Yan Qiaoqiao is not a distant relative of our family.”

Zhao Yingjun continued:

“She was a child my parents happened to find on a rural path. She looked like me, so due to an odd set of circumstances, they brought her home and raised her.”

“Later when we had dinner with you, my parents claimed Yan Qiaoqiao was a distant relative on my mother’s side just for the sake of pride and to make it easier to explain. At that time, I could only go along with my parents’ story, not expecting this lie to deepen as it did, leaving me with no chance to clarify things with you.”

“There have been many strange things about Yan Qiaoqiao, and I’ve noticed things that aren’t right myself, so… I need to apologize again, I secretly kept a strand of white hair that Yan Qiaoqiao pulled from you and took it to the hospital, along with one of my hairs, for a DNA paternity test.”

Bang!

The fireworks show finally began.

A red glow shot up from beneath the castle towards the sky.

“Ah.”

Yan Qiaoqiao raised her right hand, pointing towards the sky:

“It’s the fireworks.”

Zhao Yingjun stretched out both hands, covering Yan Qiaoqiao’s ears, so she wouldn’t hear.

She went on:

“Though it sounds implausible, I find it hard to believe myself, but according to the DNA test report…”

Boom!!!!

Fireworks exploded across the sky in a burst of colors, lighting up Disney’s night.

Reflecting the dazzling galaxy in her eyes, Zhao Yingjun smiled at Lin Xian:

“That’s right. From a biological standpoint, Yan Qiaoqiao…”

“Is our daughter.”
