After traveling through time, I was in the front row watching the real daughter slap her face

"Indeed. If the situation is urgent, you should just run away and not worry about anything else.

"really?"

Le Wan turned back to confirm and found that he was serious. She felt a little numb in her heart and poked his chest with some dissatisfaction.

"Am I really such a selfish and cowardly person in your eyes?"

Zhai Jingkai grabbed her fingers and his tone became more serious.

"I just hope you're safe and not hurt."

It was originally just a joke, but Zhai Jingkai had become serious, and it was inappropriate for Le Wan to continue teasing him. She was a little discouraged and lay back in his arms. Zhai Jingkai took the opportunity to hug her.

"Okay, I get it. Sincerity is indeed the best killer move."

Le Wan admitted defeat.

A smile flashed across Zhai Jingkai's face. Obviously, he knew that Le Wan wanted to play a trick on him, so he played Le Wan's trick instead.

However, even so, what he said just now was true. If the two of them were really in danger, he didn't want Le Wan to stay because of the so-called relationship. He just hoped that when she had the chance, she could escape as far away as possible.

On the other side, Le Wan hadn't realized his cunning yet and continued:

"But if they were targeting you, they would probably target me first to achieve their goal."

After all, no matter what Emma wanted to do, the first priority was to get her out of the way.

Zhai Jingkai stressed, "Since that's the case, I can't let you go."

Le Wan was confident that she would not be easily fooled, but she thought that neither Zhai Jingkai nor Le Xiaodi would let her go.

"Since neither this nor that works, let's just let it go. Let's see what they come up with first."

It would naturally be a gratifying thing if they could safely hold on until the end of tonight's banquet.

However, they would not be afraid if Emma insisted on provoking a dispute.

They’ll go head-to-head with them, adding a little fun to the journey.

Just as Le Wan expected, Emma had already left the banquet hall and was preparing for what was next.

After entering the upstairs bedroom, Emma changed into the prepared clothes and secretly sent messages to David and Serena, asking them to follow the plan.

Selena was also learning to play mahjong with everyone. After receiving the text message, she glanced at David. The two nodded to each other. Then Selena put away her phone and walked to Le Wan.

"Hello, I'm Serena. Do you mind if I sit here?"

She came forward and greeted her politely.

"I don't mind." Le Wan said, thinking that the performance was about to begin.

"OK, thanks."

Selena sat down on the stool, facing Lewan.

"I'm Emma's good friend. I heard her talk about this this afternoon, so I wanted to apologize to you. She's usually pretty reckless, so sometimes she can be a little reckless, like today, when she rode out, she didn't check if there was anything wrong with her bike, and ended up hitting you. I'm really sorry."

Serena folded her hands on her knees, her tone unabashedly sincere.

"But I can assure you that Emma is a very kind person, so please don't misunderstand or blame her."

"It's no big deal," Le Wan said. "We weren't hurt. Besides, Emma came to apologize to us this afternoon. Otherwise, we wouldn't be sitting here enjoying the evening with you."

Serena breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s good that you don’t mind what she’s doing. You really are nice and understanding people, unlike the ones Emma met before. They…

Before she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that she had let the cat out of the bag and stopped in time.

"Sorry, that got off topic. Anyway, you're all very nice people."

Le Wan didn't seem to understand her hint. She didn't continue to explore who the "those people" she was talking about were as she wished. She just smiled at her.

Serena paused, then changed the subject.

"I heard from Emma that your family is from Country Z, right?"

Le Wan nodded, "Yes, we are from Country Z. It's summer vacation now, so we came here for vacation."

"Country Z is an ancient and mysterious country. I have always wanted to go there to explore its culture, history and scenery, but I have never had the chance, so it's a pity."

Selena looked at Le Wan, her eyes full of excitement.

"Now that I've met you, you can tell me more about Country Z. For example, I'm particularly interested in silk and embroidery. They are so beautiful. It's hard to imagine how talented a person must be to weave such beautiful and lifelike works with their own hands."

Serena gestured and said,

"You know what I mean? They're like paintings, no, maybe these techniques are harder than paintings. The only thing they have in common is that they're all great works of art."

Looking at Serena's excited expression, as if she was really interested in this topic, Le Wan thought to herself that this was obviously a girl who knew how to deal with people better, had stronger social skills, and was better at hiding her emotions and acting than Emma.

There are only two reasons why such a person would follow Emma and be willing to be ordered around by her. First, she really likes Emma and regards her as a good friend, so she is willing to do a lot of things for her. Second, her family is not as wealthy as Emma's, and she has other plans for Emma's family, so she is willing to support Emma.

Listening to Selena praising the silk and embroidery of Country Z, Le Wan also pretended to be proud.

"Really? I didn't expect that in such a strange country, there are people who appreciate our silk culture. By the way, there is a silk product in my luggage, a scarf."

"Originally, I brought it here because I was worried that the weather here would get cold sooner or later. However, the weather in town has been good these past few days, and I haven't had time to use it, so it's basically still new. If you don't mind, I think I can give it to you as a testimony of our friendship."

Serena pretended to be very surprised, covered her mouth, and exclaimed:

"Really? Can I really get this gift?"

She tried to suppress her surprise.

"I just want to ask if it's too expensive. I heard that those handmade silk products are very expensive. Today is the first time we meet. I don't think I can accept such an expensive gift."

"It is indeed a rare species, but I think no matter how expensive it is, it needs someone to hold it after it is made to reflect its value."

Le Wan shook her hand warmly.

"I think since it has found an owner who loves and cherishes it so much, this is the best place for it to go."

Serena then pretends to be touched.

"I'm really touched to hear you say that. I can't wait to see what it looks like."

Le Wan suddenly had an idea.

"If that's the case, I can show you right now."

Selina was delighted, but still had to decline politely.

"Oh, no. As much as I'd like to see it, it would be rude for me to take it right away."

Le Wan said considerately, "It doesn't matter. We are free now anyway. Since we are talking about this, I also want to continue this pleasant atmosphere. So, I want to take it and hand it to you personally."

When Zhai Jingkai was listening to the two people pretending, he had already roughly understood Le Wan's plan. He squeezed Le Wan's hand disapprovingly, and was about to say something, but received the hint from Le Wan's eyes, so he had to shut up.
