Chapter 4220: The Other Side 189

He treated her like his own sister, and there was nothing complicated about it. So he didn’t quite understand why those men had a particular obsession with women. He figured he could probably do just as well being alone.

Yun Shishi agreed with Alice, though. “You think, Hua Jin, that you don’t understand men. But most men can sleep with a woman even if they don’t have feelings for her, unlike women.”

“Uh, is this what they call a biological need?”

“That’s one way to look at it.” She continued, “People have emotions and desires. It’s not like they’re immortals or saints. So how is it possible to have a pure heart and few desires?”

The actor’s blush deepened. Although Yun Shishi did not notice this, Alice did, and wondered at the oddity of it. Why had Hua Jin turned so red? She didn’t dwell on it.

“Anyway, Gong Jie has been obsessed with work for a long time. Back then, he didn’t hesitate to go to a war-torn area like Africa. He was young and reckless. He didn’t hesitate to go where no one should go. He always laughed at me for being a workaholic, but when it came to work, he took it way more seriously than I did, to the point of perverse. Besides, he has a domineering and paranoid nature. Once he’s made up his mind about something, he’d never allow anyone to overturn it, not even Old Master.”

“I don’t think Xiao Jie is very domineering!” Yun Shishi was perplexed. “He normally goes with whatever I say.”

“That’s because to Gong Jie, you’re absolutely the Special One.”

“Once he finds himself a girlfriend in the future, I’ll cease being the Special One!”

Alice smiled suddenly at that, her eyes shining with envy. “You know what? I really envy you.” She made this as a heartfelt comment.

Yun Shishi was puzzled by that. “Why? What is there to be envious of? I’m the one who’s envious of you. You’re so young, yet you’ve achieved so much.”

Alice couldn’t help but smile bitterly. No matter how good she was at work, she was, ultimately, a woman.

Once upon a time, she had yearned for love and family. She envied Yun Shishi because, whether it was her husband, her two sons, her friends, or even a man as insufferably arrogant and unruly as Gong Jie, they doted on her like she was a princess.

She had made herself a strong career woman. Yun Shishi, on the other hand, lived the life of a princess. Which woman wouldn’t yearn for it? If one said she didn’t yearn for it, it was only because she couldn’t have it.

People differ.

Yun Shishi might not have a strong personality, and she might not be the sort of career woman who could hold her own, but because of that, everyone willingly pampered her like a princess. There was a special quality about Yun Shishi that made even Alice want to treat her well. Perhaps there was a kind of innate nobility in her! But that regal air was gentle and she could get along well with anyone. There were no rough edges, the woman was gentle as water. Even someone as naturally odd as Chu He liked her.

Alice yearned for a family. It was just that this word seemed so out of reach for her. Even now, she didn’t dare dream about it.
