Chapter 238: A Harsh Lesson

~8 min read 1,524 words

Jian Yining did not dare: "Xiaozhu, let's not ride this. There is a carousel ahead; it's better to go play that."

"No, I want to play this. Godfather, you just said you would accompany me on any game. Adults must keep their word."

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

The staff member fastened the seatbelts for the two of them, and just as they were about to start, Shi Youxuan arrived, but it was too late to stop them; she could only watch the Roller Coaster start, her hands covering her ears!

"Ah—"

"Ahhh—"

"Ahhhhhhh—"

Jian Yining's miserable screams echoed throughout the entire amusement park, and even Sheng Hanyu, standing far away, could hear them clearly.

He pursed his lips and chuckled triumphantly.

Little brat, trying to fight with me!

When Jian Yining was a child, the seatbelt on a roller coaster he was riding malfunctioned, and he was almost thrown out.

Ever since then, he had been left with a trauma; even though he knew the probability of such a thing happening a second time was very low, he still did not dare to ride one again.

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

The Roller Coaster finally stopped, and Jian Yining's face was deathly pale, unlike Shi Youxuan just now.

Shi Youxuan only felt slightly uncomfortable and would be fine soon.

He had been scared out of half his life and was nearly finished.

Jian Yining was helped down from the ride by the staff and Shi Youxuan; his feet felt as if they were stepping on a pile of cotton, and he could not tell north from south.

"Where am I?"

"Who am I?"

"What am I doing here?"

Then, his stomach churned violently, and he collapsed by the side of the road, retching uncontrollably.

The little girl looked innocent: "Mommy, has Godfather gone silly?"

Shi Youxuan slapped her on the head: "You still have the nerve to say that? Your Godfather is most afraid of roller coasters; if it weren't to accompany you, would he be like this?"

This time when she was hit, she did not cry.

She mischievously stuck out her tongue: "I didn't know."

Shi Youxuan did not think much of it; she could never imagine that her daughter knew everything and was doing it on purpose.

It was even less likely she would think that Alisha had told her to do it.

With Jian Yining in this state, naturally, he could not play anything else.

Today was about accompanying the child to play, and they could not just leave as soon as they came out.

He recovered a bit of strength, and so as not to dampen the child's spirits, he wanted to go to the car to rest and let Shi Youxuan accompany the little one to play.

Jian Yining was dizzy and lightheaded, his thoughts were not clear, and he could not plan for the future right now; all he wanted was to rest.

Shi Youxuan said to Alisha: "Alisha, you accompany A Ning to the car to rest and take care of him; I will go play with Xiaozhu."

Alisha was very meticulous when taking care of people, and Shi Youxuan felt she could rest assured leaving Jian Yining to her, although she had brought quite a few bodyguards, they were fine for fighting, but taking care of people... better forget it.

She nodded in agreement, then helped Jian Yining walk toward the parking area.

After getting into the car, Alisha opened the car refrigerator, took out a cold bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it... and splashed it onto Jian Yining's face!

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you crazy?" Even with Jian Yining's good temper, being provoked by her again and again made him lose his temper.

He was furious: "Get out, I don't need you to take care of me."

Was this person here to take care of him?

Deliberately looking for trouble was more like it.

Alisha spread her hands to show regret, then threw a new towel to him to wipe himself, made a gesture of drinking water, meaning he should drink more, and finally shoved a bottle of wind oil essence into his hand before pushing the car door open and getting out.

Although Jian Yining was angry, he still used the towel she gave him to wipe his face, drank quite a bit of water, and finally applied the wind oil essence to his temples, feeling much more refreshed immediately.

He looked at the figure outside the window, lost in thought, and frowned.

That's not right.

He suspected his eyes were playing tricks on him!

He even blinked hard and looked again, but it was still the same—Alisha's back looked just like Sheng Hanyu's back!

If not for the fact that she was wearing a dress, and her face did not look like him... Jian Yining's brain suddenly went "Boom."

Faces can be covered with masks.

Back then, Yingzi used this trick to fool everyone completely.

The more Jian Yining thought about it, the more he felt it was possible; Sheng Hanyu had already found Zhu Zhai, so it was very likely he had disguised himself as a woman to sneak in!

He pushed the car door open and shouted: "Alisha, come in."

Once the person sat in the car, he stared intently at Alisha, making him feel flustered.

He used his sleeve to block his face and subconsciously moved backward.

His arm was grabbed by Jian Yining, who pulled it down hard: "Why are you blocking your face? Are you afraid of being seen by me?"

In order to see more clearly, Jian Yining leaned in close, but found no clues.

Still unwilling to give up, he reached out to touch Alisha's face—"Slap!" He received a slap across the face!

Alisha glared at him angrily, then pushed the car door open and got out.

Just as Jian Yining was about to chase after her, the driver kindly reminded him: "If Jian Xiansheng likes Alisha, you should talk to the Madam first; the Madam will agree to let you marry her."

What?

Jian Yining nearly fainted.

He hurriedly explained, "Don't talk nonsense. Me, liking him? Stop joking around."

His meaning was misunderstood by the driver; people in L Country are relatively conservative, and the driver thought he didn't want to take responsibility and only wanted to take advantage of Alisha.

The driver kindly reminded him, "Jian Xiansheng, please don't blame me for being meddlesome. Alisha is the savior of the Madam and the young miss, and has been accepted as a foster sister by our Madam. If you only want to have some fun, you should find someone else."

Jian Yining was speechless.

He couldn't make himself understood to the driver, but he couldn't chase after him either.

Right now, it was only one driver who misunderstood; if he chased out, there were still many bodyguards outside, and it would be even harder to explain.

Alisha did not return.

Shi Youxuan had finished playing with Xiaozhu, and being concerned about Jian Yining, she persuaded Xiaozhu to go back early.

When the mother and daughter returned to the car, the first thing Shi Ran did was look for Alisha.

"Where is Auntie? Where did Auntie go?"

The driver looked troubled and found it difficult to say more in front of Jian Yining, so he said to Shi Ran, "Young miss, Alisha should be in the bodyguards' car."

Shi Youxuan was dissatisfied, "This Alisha is really something. I told her to stay and look after the guest, yet she ran off to hide and find peace. Go and call her back."

"Yes, Madam."

The driver got out of the car, and it took a long time before Alisha came back with him.

She sat in the car far away from Jian Yining, as if he were a ferocious beast.

Yet Jian Yining stared at her, not even blinking once.

Shi Youxuan noticed something was wrong, "What is going on with you two?"

"Nothing," Jian Yining replied.

Alisha shook her head.

Before having accurate evidence, he decided not to alert the enemy.

If Alisha really was Sheng Hanyu, he definitely wouldn't let himself be easily caught with evidence.

That man was very difficult to deal with; he absolutely could not let his guard down.

"Strange pair of people. Never mind them. Xiaozhu, are you tired? If you're tired, lean on Mommy and sleep for a while."

"Tired."

Xiaozhu agreed but did not lean on her mother; instead, she ran to Alisha's side and leaned on him.

Alisha held the child in her arms so that she could sleep more comfortably, and soon the little one fell asleep.

Shi Youxuan also moved closer to Alisha, rested her head on his shoulder, narrowed her eyes to rest, and soon fell asleep too.

"Fine, you really have..."

Jian Yining wanted to say "really have a way," but the last two words hadn't come out yet.

He was stopped by a glare from Alisha.

She signaled with her eyes not to disturb this mother and daughter; whatever he wanted to say... just shut up!
