It seemed that Le Wan didnât understand her hint. She didnât do as she wished and continued to explore what âthose peopleâ she was talking about were. She only smiled at her.
Serena paused for a moment, then changed the topic.
â I heard from Emma that your family is from country Z, right?â
Le Wan nodded. âYes, weâre from country Z. Itâs our schoolâs summer break now, so weâre here for a vacation.â
âZ country is an ancient and mysterious country. Iâve always wanted to go there to explore its cultural history and scenery, but I never had the chance to go there, so Iâm very regretful.â
Serena looked at Le Wan, her eyes full of excitement.
âSince Iâve met you guys today, you can tell me more about country Z For example, the silk and embroidery that Iâm particularly interested in. Theyâre so beautiful. I canât imagine how powerful a person must be to be able to weave such beautiful and realistic works with just their hands.â
Serena gestured and said,
âDo you know what I mean? Theyâre like paintings, no, perhaps these skills are even more difficult than paintings. The only thing they have in common is that theyâre all great works of art.â
Looking at Serenaâs excited expression, as if she was really interested in this topic, Le Wan made a comment in her heart. This was obviously a girl who knew how to conduct herself better than Emma, had better social skills, and was better at hiding her emotions and acting.
There were only two reasons why such a person would follow Emma and be willing to be ordered around by her. One was that she really liked Emma and treated her as a good friend, so she was willing to do a lot for her. Secondly, her family was not as well-off as Emmaâs, and she had other plans for Emmaâs family, so she was willing to support Emma.
Hearing Serenaâs endless praise of Z countryâs silk and embroidery, Le Wan also pretended to be proud of it.
âReally? I didnât expect to hear someone in such a strange country appreciate our silk culture. Speaking of which, thereâs a silk item in my luggage. Itâs a scarf.â
âOriginally, I was worried that the weather here would be cold sooner or later, so I specially brought it over. However, the weather in the town had been good for the past few days, so I havenât had the time to use it, so itâs still basically brand new. If you donât mind, I think I can give it to you as a gift to bear witness to our friendship.â
Serena pretended to be extremely surprised. She covered her mouth and exclaimed,
âReally? Can I really have this gift?â
She tried to suppress her surprise.
âI was just asking if itâs too expensive. I heard those handmade silk products are very expensive. Since weâre meeting for the first time today, I donât think I can accept such an expensive gift from you.â
âItâs indeed a rare breed, but I think no matter how expensive it is, it needs someone to carry it after itâs made to show its value.â
Le Wan held her hand enthusiastically.
âI think itâs the best place for it to go since it has met a master who loves and cherishes it so much.â
Serena then pretended to be touched.
âIâm really touched to hear you say that. Iâm eager to see what it looks like.â
An idea struck Le Wan.
âIf thatâs the case, I can show it to you now.â
Serena was overjoyed, but she still had to politely refuse.
âOh, no, no, no. Although Iâm quite anxious to take a look at it, it would be rude of me to ask you to bring it over immediately.â
Le Wan said considerately,
âItâs fine. Weâre free now anyway. Since weâre talking about this, I want to continue this happy atmosphere. So, I want to take it and hand it to you personally.â
When Zhai Jing was listening to the two of them putting on an act, he had already roughly understood Le Wanâs plan. He pinched Le Wanâs hand disapprovingly and was about to say something when he received a signal from Le Wanâs eyes, so he had no choice but to shut his mouth.
In Le Wanâs mind, they still had to stay here for about a week. If Emma didnât achieve her goal tonight, according to Emmaâs character, she would definitely not give up. Instead, she would keep pestering them, and they wouldnât be able to have a peaceful week..
