“Sister Wanyuan,” Wei Zimu called out gently.
Xia Wanyuan did not show it on her face, but the discomfort in her heart grew.
“Morning.” Xia Wanyuan nodded slightly.
“Let’s go. Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop isn’t far from here. Sister Wanyuan, do you want to take a car or walk over?”
Xia Wanyuan looked outside the building. The rain was not heavy, and it was pitter-patter, carrying the humidity of Jiangnan. “Let’s walk over.”
“Okay.” Wei Zimu smiled and handed the umbrella to Xia Wanyuan.
The two of them walked into the rain side by side. “Was the pastry yesterday delicious? I queued for a long time before I bought it. According to them, it should be very delicious.”
“I didn’t eat it. I don’t like that.” Xia Wanyuan’s high heels clicked on the limestone road.
Wei Zimu was not angry at Xia Wanyuan’s direct words and chuckled.
Xia Wanyuan turned around when she heard Wei Zimu smiling.
Today, Xia Wanyuan was wearing an azure dress with embroidery. It blended with the hazy rain and had a different gracefulness.
Her eyes, which were always filled with ice and snow, seemed to be covered in a layer of faint mist from Jiangnan. They were like green mountains after the rain, exuding an empty spiritual aura.
Wei Zimu was stunned for a moment. At this moment, someone suddenly rode a bicycle and passed through quickly. Wei Zimu subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of Xia Wanyuan. Stained mud splashed by his pants.
Wei Zimu looked down at the mud on his leg and a hint of hostility flashed across his eyes. When he looked up again, he was smiling warmly.
“Let them bring you over first. There’s someone waiting for you there. I’ll go and change my clothes first.”
“Okay.”
Under the guidance of others, Xia Wanyuan arrived at the embroidery workshop. The embroidery workshop had already existed since the end of the world and had been passed down until now. It had a deep foundation.
Wei Zimu did not come. Seeing that there was only a young lady, the person in charge of the embroidery workshop was clearly a little arrogant.
“Hello, Miss Xia. Young Master Wei asked me to bring you in for a walk.”
Xia Wanyuan was led in by the in-charge. This was a high-end embroidery base in the world. In the workshop inside, there were nimble embroidery ladies sitting.
Various colors of fabric and threads decorated the place beautifully.
Xia Wanyuan turned around. “Other than these, is there anything else?”
“Miss Xia, these are already the most outstanding embroidery ladies in our embroidery workshop. Which more do you want to see? Super masters usually don’t show their faces.”
Xia Wanyuan glanced at the embroidery ladies who were working diligently in the embroidery workshop. The things made here were good, but they emphasized too much on high-end quality.
Such a high-end item was not suitable for ordinary people. Not many people in China could afford such an exquisite item.
“Do you have anything else to see?” The in-charge was a little unhappy. Our Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop was the top embroidery workshop in China. Why didn’t I see any surprise in Miss Xia’s eyes? Instead, she looked very dissatisfied.
“No, thank you.” Xia Wanyuan felt that there was nothing to see here and wanted to go out and take a look. It was said that there were countless embroidery workshops in this area, but they were much smaller than the Jiangnan embroidery workshop. Xia Wanyuan felt that she might be able to find what she wanted.
Xia Wanyuan slowly walked along the ancient alley when two young girls suddenly walked past her. The bag in their hands attracted Xia Wanyuan’s attention.
Xia Wanyuan went forward to ask.
“This bag? I bought it at the Jin Xiu shop on South Street. They have many of these bags.”
“Thank you.”
Xia Wanyuan smiled and walked in the direction they pointed.
The two young girls looked at Xia Wanyuan’s back and were a little confused.
“Look at the bag she’s carrying. It’s the L family’s latest bag. It’s so beautiful. It’s probably more than a hundred thousand dollars.”
“She does look pretty. She’s already carrying such a good bag. Why did she ask us about Jin Xiu Shop? The things there are not pretty.”
“I don’t understand. Perhaps the rich are bored.”
Xia Wanyuan followed the route the two ladies pointed to and arrived at the shop they had mentioned.
This place was indeed similar to what she had imagined. The things inside were much cheaper than the Jiangnan Embroidery Workshop. It could be said to be very affordable, but it looked a little old and could not be separated from those old styles.
She went in to take a look at the embroidery workers who were doing all sorts of things. Before the employees in the shop could come up and greet her, Xia Wanyuan already had an idea. She went straight out the door and called Shen Qian.

After a long day of meetings, it was almost midnight when he got home. Xiao Bao was already sound asleep.
Jun Shiling pulled off his tie and was about to take a shower when his phone rang. Xia Wanyuan had sent him a dazed expression.
Jun Shiling looked at the cat and could not help but think of Xia Wanyuan staring blankly in front of him. The corners of his lips curled up as he sent Lin Jing a message.
“Arrange a flight for tomorrow morning. I’m going to Suzhou.”
After Lin Jing confirmed that he had received it, Jun Shiling called Xia Wanyuan.
The next morning, Lin Jing picked Jun Shiling up and went to the airport. Shen Qian also brought the first batch of porcelain samples that had been burned according to Xia Wanyuan’s request and boarded the plane to Suhang.
