Chapter 200 - Chapter 200: Chapter Two-Hundred: Verification (2/2)
Yun Nan paused. Shi Nian and Hai Hua looked at her, nerves on edge.
Yun Nan didn’t care to wipe away the tears on her face. “My mom said that she once had a jade piece. Her adoptive mother snatched it away, wanting it to be her son’s betrothal gift. My mom said the jade was very beautiful. She drew it for me before…”
Yun Nan swiftly got up to grab a pen or a pencil. “Hai Hua, I’ll draw it out for you! I’ll draw it now!”
Hai Hua stopped Yun Nan by pressing down on her hand, saying, “No, don’t draw it now!”
Yun Nan looked at her in confusion. Hai Hua calmly said, “You should wait until you meet my aunt. Then, you can both draw it together! Since your adoptive mother has passed away, verifying her identity will be even more difficult, so why don’t we all be more cautious and not rush into things? It’s best to wait until my aunt arrives before we start piecing things together.” Yun Nan slowly nodded, and her tears fell once more.
It was a sleepless night for them. Shi Nian draped a thin blanket over his shoulders and sat on the balcony with Yun Nan in his arms. He knew that, right now, comforting words would be useless to Yun Nan. It was better to accompany her and spend the long night with her.

Yun Nan felt that his words made sense and nodded. “Thank you! With you around, I feel so safe,” Yun Nan told him her feelings truthfully.
Shi Nian was delighted and was secretly very happy. Not wanting Yun Nan to be nervous any further, he changed the topic, “The stars here are so beautiful. Yun Nan, were you happy when you were a child? Did you like to look at the stars?”
Yun Nan looked at the stars and nodded. “Yes, I was. I’d always been a happy child. Mom and I would squeeze on the recliner, and Dad would tell us stories. My mom especially admired my dad; in her eyes, Dad was a knowledgeable and cultured person. She was more fascinated by those stories than I was. I think she was so fascinated because my dad was the storyteller. Their love was the best love I’ve ever seen.”
At the mention of her adoptive parents, Yun Nan softened..
