Lingzi put on a look of utter surprise as she turned toward Pan Jian'an.
"You're my dad? Are you really my dad? I have waited so many years for you! My wait has been so bitter!"
Pan Jian'an's eyes overflowed with old tears, and he grabbed Lingzi's hand in overwhelming excitement.
"My child, my good child, I am your dad! Where is your jade pendant? When you were lost as a little girl, you had a jade pendant around your neck. Do you still have that jade pendant?"
A flicker of well-concealed panic crossed the depths of Lingzi's eyes, and she subconsciously smoothed her hair, feigning a look of confusion.
"What jade pendant? I don't remember ever having a jade pendant."
No jade pendant?
Pan Jian'an's excitement on his face eased somewhat.
Cheng Yuan became somewhat agitated!
He remembered Pan Cuilian had mentioned that she was an orphan, adopted by foster parents, who found her with a jade pendant around her neck engraved with the character "Pan."
