Chapter 247: Suspecting She Likes Women

"Alisha, I'm looking for you..."

Shi Youxuan only poked her head out and saw the little girl nodding repeatedly at Alisha; was she listening to advice?

The well-behaved little appearance was something she rarely showed... Shi Youxuan retreated from inside again.

She had great confidence in Alisha's ability to educate children, and she also believed that if Alisha were to become a stepmother to someone, she would be a good stepmother!

Shi Youxuan waited patiently outside for a while, then Shi Ranran out from inside and pulled her hand to go back in.

Standing in front of her, she said properly: "Mommy, I know I was wrong. Children should have a broad perspective when conducting themselves; if you have a broad perspective now, you will do great things in the future..."

Shi Youxuan was once again surprised by Alisha.

She never imagined that Alisha would actually use "perspective" to educate a child, and even less did she imagine that a child not yet five years old could understand it, and even follow it.

After Shi Ran's matter was resolved, Shi Youxuan told Alisha that she was going to take her out to meet a friend.

Alisha shook her head, not going!

"Go," Shi Youxuan lied: "I'm going to discuss a business deal. Although the other party is Lady Zhang's brother, he is still a man, and it's not convenient for me to go alone."

Saying it was inconvenient was just an excuse.

There were plenty of servants and bodyguards at home; she could take anyone.

As soon as Shi Youxuan mentioned "Lady Zhang's brother," he understood what was going on.

It seemed the intention to introduce a partner to him hadn't died; it was still stirring.

Alisha nodded and agreed.

If he didn't agree this time, she would definitely have other ways to make him agree!

Might as well meet; just show that he wasn't interested after the meeting. You can't force a cow to drink water if it doesn't want to.

The next day was bright and sunny; it really was a good day for a blind date.

The location for the blind date was set at a high-end cafe in the city center, and the agreed time was ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhu Zhai was a half-hour drive from the city center, so they had to leave by nine-thirty at the latest.

After breakfast, before eight o'clock, Shi Youxuan urged Alisha to go back to her room to change clothes, put on makeup, and dress herself up.

Her hairstyle, which was always the same, looked very old-fashioned. Shi Youxuan invited a hairstylist over... but Alisha drove them away!

Alisha insisted on not doing her hair, even using resignation as a threat, so Shi Youxuan gave up.

An hour and a half passed.

Seeing that they would definitely be late if they didn't leave, Shi Youxuan was just about to send someone to urge her again... the door opened.

Alisha walked out from inside and used gestures to indicate: Let's go, I'm all ready.

Shi Youxuan was almost angered to the point of fainting.

She made a prompt decision and said to Alisha: "Go back and change your clothes; this outfit won't do."

Shi Youxuan had people send over a dozen dresses for Alisha, all prepared for today's date.

As a result, he didn't know where he pulled out a black straight-cut cloth dress!

The style was as old as what grandmothers over sixty on the street would wear, and combined with that precious, broken hairstyle of hers, she instantly looked ten years older.

Moreover, he didn't know what he had smeared on his face; it was gray and dusty, as if he had smeared wood ash burned by fire on his face.

Alisha looked at the dress on her body and shook her head to indicate she wouldn't change.

She was very satisfied with this outfit of hers.

Shi Youxuan suppressed the urge to hit someone and said patiently: "If you won't change, then don't. Go wash your face; even if you don't smear anything and keep it bare, that's fine."

"If you go over like this, you don't even need to do anything to scare my client away. If my business goes bust, will you compensate me?"

If Sheng Hanyu's current identity were himself, it wouldn't matter how much he compensated her.

But his current identity was Alisha, and he couldn't afford it!

Especially since he couldn't bear to see Shi Youxuan in a difficult position, his heart softened, and he turned back and "bang" closed the door.

Three minutes later, the door opened again, and this time Shi Youxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Alisha was still in her usual attire, without any dressing up.

If she wasn't going to dress up, then so be it; dressing up would be even more terrifying!

Shi Youxuan never had the habit of being late, but this time she was still late to the meeting place.

Lady Zhang stood at the entrance, looking forward with anticipation. The car stopped at the entrance, and Lady Zhang personally opened the car door for Alisha: "Alisha, long time no see, you're getting prettier and prettier."

Sheng Hanyu didn't pay any attention to her, not even lifting his eyelids. After getting out of the car, he automatically stood behind Shi Youxuan.

Alisha didn't give any face at all, so Shi Youxuan had to provide her with a way out.

It wasn't easy to just follow her words; Lady Zhang had just been telling a bald-faced lie, so there was no way to follow it.

She apologized to Lady Zhang: "I'm sorry, my daughter insisted on coming along this morning. It was hard enough to get her to stay home, so that's why we were delayed and late."

Lady Zhang said repeatedly: "It's fine, it's fine, I just arrived too."

The group went inside and pushed open the door of the private room, where a man in his thirties was sitting.

It was indeed as Lady Zhang said; he looked quite like her, and even without an introduction, one could tell they were brother and sister.

Lady Zhang was a beauty, but Zhang Dage looked a bit effeminate.

Today, Zhang Dage must have dressed up specifically. Outside, the temperature was over thirty degrees, but he was dressed in a full suit—a black Versace suit, a white shirt, and a bright red tie.

His hair was slicked with hair oil, shiny and bright, and the fragrance was pungent.

Lady Zhang introduced everyone, and then they sat down in order.

Alisha didn't want to sit; he just wanted to stand quietly behind Shi Youxuan, but this wish was destined to fall through.

Shi Youxuan demanded: "You sit beside me."

He shook his head, indicating that you guys talk among yourselves, don't worry about me.

It wouldn't do to ignore him; today, he is the main character.

Shi Youxuan insisted on pulling him to sit by her side, so the four of them were sitting across from each other; Zhang Dage looked a bit disappointed with Alisha's appearance, as she probably wasn't the type he liked.

However, he still showed a keen interest in Alisha, constantly showing his favor and fawning over her.

He poured her coffee and asked what hobbies she usually had.

He praised her abilities...

In any case, all the topics revolved around Alisha.

Alisha's expression, however, grew increasingly ugly; she didn't cooperate at all and even reminded Shi Youxuan, "Weren't we supposed to talk business?"

If it was about business, then talk about it quickly, and stop talking about her.

Seeing that she had been too obvious and had pushed Alisha into a corner, Shi Youxuan hurriedly signaled to Lady Zhang.

Lady Zhang understood and kicked her brother under the table, meaning he was being too impatient.

Only then did Zhang Dage realize what was happening and pretended to "talk" business with Shi Youxuan, but he remained distracted, and out of every ten sentences, five or six still managed to veer back to Alisha.

He was very satisfied with Alisha.

Although she wasn't very pretty, she wasn't pretentious.

He was satisfied, his sister was satisfied, and Shi Youxuan felt that this Zhang Dage was also quite good.

All three of them were quite satisfied, but Alisha kept a long face the entire time, as if she were not satisfied with Zhang Dage at all.

After the meeting, on the way back, Shi Youxuan asked Alisha, "What is your impression of Zhang Dage?"

He shook his head, indicating it was not good.

Shi Youxuan pressed, "Why is it not good? What is not good about him?"

He told her that he didn't talk business properly and kept looking at him, so he was not a good person.

Only then did Shi Youxuan tell Alisha, "Actually, we didn't go there to talk business at all; we just wanted you two to meet. If you felt it was okay, you could date more, and in the future, you could have someone to rely on and support each other while living together..."

Alisha shook his head like a rattle, which meant he did not agree.

Shi Youxuan felt it was a pity, but such things couldn't be forced; she was just about to let it go and say, "If you don't agree, then you don't agree, I'll go decline Lady Zhang," but then she had a second thought—no!

From the moment they prepared to leave this morning, Alisha's behavior had been uncooperative at every turn; could it be that he doesn't want to get married?
