The Emperor watched Lei Xing's increasingly unhappy expression and his bad mood started to resurface again. He had not considered that this issue would have upset Lei Xing so much.
But now that he was confronted with it, he could understand how this revelation could be upsetting to her and how it could cast some doubts on their relationship. And the last thing he wanted was to give Lei Xing any reason to withdraw into her shell again.
So he tried to reassure her again, "Xing er', there's nothing to worry about regarding this matter...It's just..." He paused and knit his brows, as he thought of words to explain away this revelation and to pacify her with.
But before he could find his words, Lei Xing looked up and waved it away, "It's fine." Then she leaned forward and seriously asked, "Do you...by any chance, have any ornaments or jewelry you always wear or carry on your person? Something you've had with you since you were a child...You know, since that incident?"
