One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love

In this world, looks is everything. Appearance is absolute justice.

Alice started counting with her fingers again. "You said that Little Yichen likes Youyou… Oh, no, he likes Lisa. Lisa likes Youyou… That's not right either. She should like Gong Fan. Oh dear… Anyway, she likes the combination of Youyou and Gong Fan, I suppose. As for Youyou, he likes Natalia. Anyway, the feelings between these children are intricate and unfathomable."

Gong Jie shot her a meaningful glance.

She asked, puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Just something you said."

Alice fell silent.

"And…" Gong Jie gave an exasperated smile. "Why do you seem more worried than their own mother?"

"I'm just treating them as my own!" Alice said matter-of-factly, "Although I'm not their biological mother, isn't this treating them completely like my own?"

It was as if it were a matter of course that she treated these four clowns as her own children. She looked every bit like a proud mother. Even Gong Jie couldn't help but laugh. "Well then, it makes you as productive as that."

"As productive? As what?" Alice was confused until she saw Gong Jie's mocking gaze! "Are you calling me an old sow!?"

"I didn't. It was someone who couldn't wait to claim the title!"

"You…" Alice clenched her fists in anger and glared at the man.

"Okay, that was my bad."

It was a rare moment that Gong Jie would admit his own mistake. Given this, Alice didn't make things hard for him. She smiled and said, "Don't underestimate children these days. They start early, but I don't think it's unreasonably early. Actually, in ancient China, people of Little Yichen's and Youyou's age would be close to marriageable age and would be looking to take wives for themselves."

Gong Jie objected to the idea. "I think you're over-complicating the relationship between the children."

"Mmm…"

Gong Jie flicked his fingers against her forehead. "Well, don't worry so much. You're sleepy, aren't you? Go to bed early! We'd have arrived by the time you wake up."

"Oh, what about you? Aren't you going to rest?"

"I'm worried. I won't unless I'm really sleepy."

Alice objected. "What are you worried about? Lisa will take good care of Gong Fan. I've asked her to inform me immediately if anything crops up. You don't have to worry too much. You should rest early too!"

"Okay, alright." Gong Jie agreed verbally, but when Alice returned to the room, he remained in his seat, his thoughts racing.

His thoughts were not focused and his head felt like mush. It was a mess, as if it was filled with thoughts, but he didn't know exactly what he was thinking. His head felt very heavy.

He simply felt inexplicably anxious. But he did not know specifically what he was anxious about.

Distraught, the man poured himself a glass of wine and slouched back on the sofa.

…

Gong Fan was finally too tired to keep his eyes open. He leaned against the sofa and unknowingly closed his eyes.

Lisa saw that he had at last succumbed to sleep, so she fetched a blanket from the side and gently covered him with it.
