Chapter 1796 A War Without Winners (Two Hundred and Forty-Six)

Compared to Harry and his group who were deeply involved in the goblin rebellion in Britain, Albert, who was far away on the other side of the earth, had a pretty good life recently.

Since settling in the villa in the Far East, their family would travel around this strange country every day and taste all kinds of exotic food. If they were tired of playing, they would stop and rest for a few days, do what they wanted to do, and live freely and happily.

When the family decided to rest at home for two days to accompany their granddaughter Alice, Albert, who was still energetic, took the girls out to visit various specialty stores, preparing to buy some interesting souvenirs for the girls while they were cheap.

Every time Albert bought gifts for several people at once, Nia would cast a particularly complicated expression at him. There was no doubt that her sister had not yet fully adapted to the fact that her brother was actually dating several women.

"Ahem, where did you just say you were going?"

Albert quickly changed the subject to avoid his sister looking at him strangely. He should not have let her know about this. It was Katrina's fault for talking about his scandalous gossip.

"Cheongsam shop, I think it's called that."

Nia pointed out a clothing store hidden in a remote corner to everyone, and did not forget to introduce the reason for coming here. "I came here with my friends last time. The clothes in this store are very beautiful. It seems that they are the special clothes here."

It was a cheongsam shop that used "a century-old store" as a gimmick. The owners were a middle-aged couple, one was a tailor, and the other was responsible for entertaining guests and showing the beauty of cheongsam to the girls who entered the store.

It must be said that even though the boss lady has entered middle age, she still wears cheongsam with a dignified and elegant temperament.

That special dress immediately attracted the attention of Isobel and others, because they never found that there were people who could wear clothes in this way.

However, the most surprised person was not Isobel and the other two, but the proprietress of the store. She was not only amazed at the handsomeness of the four, but also at Albert's fluent and skillful tone, as if he was a Chinese in a foreign skin.

Although it takes time to customize cheongsam, there are ready-made clothes in the store for customers to try, which is also the main reason why this "century-old store" can always satisfy most customers.

Albert picked a light and elegant beige and ink-colored lotus from many silk fabrics. No matter how you look at it, it feels very suitable for Isobel's temperament.

Just when Albert was about to let Isobel come to try it on, Nia, who understood his thoughts, took the lead.

It's not that Nia likes the style that Albert gave Isobel, but she is willing to believe in Albert's aesthetic level.

Isobel didn't care about it. She had already picked the fabric and style for Katrina. If there was no better choice, she would choose the same style. It can only be said that foreigners also have their own aesthetics in cheongsam.

"How is it?"

After a while, Nia came out of the dressing room. She was quite satisfied with the cheongsam she was wearing. The clothes Albert chose did have a unique aesthetic feeling.

"Very beautiful. It turns out that beautiful girls look good in anything."

The proprietress who was chatting with Albert saw Nia coming out of the dressing room. Her eyes lit up and she looked at Nia from top to bottom. She was quite satisfied with it. There were originally very few foreign girls who came here, and there were even fewer high-quality ones like these. After wearing cheongsam, there was indeed a very unique aesthetic feeling.

"It's really beautiful, but..."

Albert looked his sister up and down, and suddenly shook his head and said, "I don't know why I feel something is wrong."

"I think it's okay."

Katrina also came out of the dressing room, wearing a cheongsam of the same color as her hair.

Katrina's temperament in this cheongsam became very different from before.

Red hair, a red and sexy half-hollow pattern cheongsam, a beautiful face, and a look that was almost drawn to Albert, completely highlight the sexy and charming temperament of a foreign girl.

The shop owner's curious eyes were sweeping back and forth between the two, as if guessing what their relationship was.

"It should be because of the hair."

Isobel glanced at Albert, then looked at the female shop owner next to her, and gave a sharp reason, "If you can dye your hair black, it should be more suitable."

"Nia's hair color is indeed a big part of the reason, but I think it should be that her temperament does not match the cheongsam. Nia is more lively, and her cheongsam is more suitable for quiet girls, so there is that strange sense of disharmony." Albert turned his head to look at the fancy red hollow pattern cheongsam chosen by Katrina, and actually felt that it was more suitable.

It is really difficult for foreigners to wear the temperament of cheongsam.

"How about..."

Albert finally didn't let Nia and Isobel change their cheongsams. They came here to shop just for fun. Whether the clothes were good or not was secondary. There was no need to make his sister unhappy.

Albert simply paid for three sets of cheongsams and asked the three girls to cooperate with the boss's wife to measure various data. Before leaving, he also left the address of the villa and asked the clothing store to make the cheongsams and send them directly to them.

It can only be said that the Far East at this time was indeed not rich, and most of the expenses were lower than expected, allowing Albert, who came from capitalism, to shop freely.

The fact also proves that Albert's vision is really good. After Isobel used magic to change her hair into a smooth black hair, it really matched the light and elegant beige cheongsam that Albert chose.

The reason is probably that Isobel has never worked outside formally since graduating from Hogwarts. She has not been affected by the bad social atmosphere and still has a strong scholar's temperament:

Pure, noble and elegant, with a kind of extraordinary beauty.

The red hollow lace cheongsam that Isobel chose for Katrina is actually very suitable, but it looks very sexy when worn.

This really hurt Nia. It was she who suggested going to the cheongsam store together, but she didn't buy the right clothes.

"Where is Albert?"

Katrina planned to let Isobel try on her cheongsam to see if she could wear it in her own way.

"He seems to have gone out for something." Nia tilted her head and said, "I feel like he seems a little absent-minded."

"Maybe something happened, don't disturb him for now."

Isobel, who had returned to her original appearance, gave her sister a look. Then, the two of them took Nia to talk about their experience in designing clothes, so that she would not disturb Albert.
