Shangguan Ning took the handkerchief and observed it carefully. She noticed that on this seemingly ordinary white handkerchief, there was concealed stripe, unique to Family Jing. On one corner of the handkerchief there was a series of seemingly insignificant numbers.
When Jing Yichen noticed that she looked slightly puzzled, wondering what the numbers meant, he explained patiently, "Each of the handkerchiefs used by every male member of Family Jing differs from the other. This series of numbers is unique to me and represents the fact that I am the eldest son of Family Jing and the first heir of Family Jing, in this generation. I have never given this handkerchief to anyone else but you, nor did I ever use it to clean Tang Yun's face. This is part of the Jing identity. Even Jing Yiran, who has had numerous affairs, has never given his handkerchief to anybody else before."
Jing Yichen thought of how strained things were, between him and Jing Yiran, at the moment.
