“Yes, indeed, this material is quite unique,” the shop assistant smiled, responding. “Normally, it’s more commonly used for weapon refinement and less so for crafting jewelry. However, there’s another special meaning when this material is used for making jewelry.”
“Oh, what’s that?” A hint of interest played on Ye Leng’an’s face.
“Because this material is usually employed in crafting weapons, it’s exceptionally durable,” the shop assistant explained with a smile. “So, it metaphorically represents an incredibly sturdy love for you.”
“Oh, really?” Ye Lengan smiled. “That’s a rather nice symbolism! Many people might buy jewelry made from this material for their loved ones!”
“Exactly!” The shop assistant continued, “However, not all craftsmen can work with this material, so the finished products are quite limited.”
“Are these kinds of jewelry available in all stores, or is it exclusive to your shop?” Ye Lengan asked.
Though Ye Leng’an’s questions seemed peculiar, the shop assistant didn’t pry and replied, “Due to the expensive nature of jewelry made from this material, not all stores carry it. Only a few major jewelry stores have it.”
Ye Lengan nodded, placing the necklace back on the counter. She smiled and said, “Wrap this jewelry up for me, please.”
She didn’t particularly favor or dislike the necklace. However, having asked the shop assistant numerous questions and received detailed explanations with a good attitude, she decided to make the purchase.
Despite maintaining a courteous demeanor, the shop assistant’s eyes flickered with joy upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s decision. In this hidden world, many rules mirrored the mortal world, and the earnings of these shop assistants were primarily commission-based.
The necklace that the customer was purchasing held substantial value, contributing to a considerable commission. Naturally, the shop assistant felt delighted seeing the customer make such a high-value purchase.
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
The shop assistant promptly took the necklace and left the counter.
As Ye Lengan waited for the shop assistant to complete the transaction, she idly glanced around. Apart from the necklace, none of the other accessories appealed to her, extinguishing any desire to make additional purchases.
While waiting, she noticed Ye Wanwan entering the jewelry store, Accompanying her was a woman who appeared to be in her thirties. Though the woman seemed to be in her thirties, discerning her real age was challenging in the hidden world.
Ye Leng’an spotted Ye Wanwan, and, naturally, Ye Wanwan noticed Ye Lengan.
Upon seeing Ye Lengan, Ye Wanwan momentarily hesitated, and then her expression soured. Each encounter with Ye Lengan brought back memories of the auction and the consequences her family faced, all due to Ye Lengan.
Today marked the end of her confinement. Originally, she had no intention of going out, but her mother insisted, so she accompanied her.
Her mother ventured out because her auntie’s birthday was approaching, prompting her to select a gift here. While she wasn’t enthusiastic about gift-giving, she did appreciate the jewelry in this store. After all, she was a young girl who naturally liked such accessories.
Unexpectedly, upon entering the store, she was greeted by the sight of the person she detested. Truly, enemies always crossed paths, didn’t they?
Ye Lengan also pondered the ill-fated connection she shared with Ye Wanwan. Despite their mutual dislike, they continually encountered each other. What an unfortunate coincidence! She hadn’t been in the hidden world for long, and the Imperial City wasn’t small. Yet, she had already crossed paths with Ye Wanwan three times.
Lian Mengzhu noticed her daughter’s peculiar behavior, reached out, and patted Ye Wanwan’s shoulder. “Wanwan, what’s wrong?
Ye Wanwan withdrew her gaze. Although reluctant, she still turned towards Ye Lengan and said, “Mother, that’s Miss Ye Aryan, the fiancée of the head of the Huangfu family.”
Following Ye Wanwan’s gaze, Lian Mengzhu easily spotted the person standing there. However, a single glance rendered her unable to look away.
The girl appeared to be the same age as her daughter. Despite wearing a small mask covering a quarter of her face, she radiated beauty capable of captivating a nation.
Her silky black hair danced in the wind, complementing her slender phoenix eyebrows, sparkling eyes, delicate nose, rosy cheeks, cherry-like red lips, a flawless oval face, and smooth, snow-white skin. Her figure exuded grace and elegance.
However, what captivated her gaze wasn’t just the girl’s beauty and grace. It was an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness as if she had seen the face behind the mask before.
This time, Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows. She observed her mother’s absent-minded state and promptly pulled her hand. “Mother, how are you feeling? Is anything wrong?”
For some reason, she disliked her mother’s gaze lingering on Ye Anan. It made her uncomfortable as if her mother were about to be taken away.
Unable to explain this feeling, she just experienced it without reason. Moreover, she felt that she and Ye An’an were arch-enemies. She didn’t want the people around her to pay too much attention to Ye An’an.
“No, I just feel that Miss Ye looks very familiar.” Lian Mengzhu returned to her senses, smiling lightly. “Perhaps it’s just my imagination!”
“Mother, what are you talking about!” Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but frown.
“What’s so soecial about this Ye An’an? You’ve never seen her before.’
“That’s true.” Lian Mengzhu smiled and nodded. She continued, “Well, since we’ve met, let’s go and say hello! She’s the fiancée of the head of the Huangfu family. Ignoring her would not be good, as it might affect the relationship between our two families..”
