4321: The Other Side 290

The Other Side 290

"I understand. Don't worry. I'll be on my guard."2

…

There were two sections in the cabin. Hua Jin and Natalia were in the other section.

The route they took was a full ten hours from the capital to the Hurricane Group. And during those ten hours, despite her exhaustion, Lisa did not sleep.

Alice and Gong Jie went to the dining area for a bottle of dry red wine. While Gong Jie was fine after having a few drinks, Alice was tipsy.

"I'm going to get some sleep. What about you?"

"Go get some rest. I'll stay here. I'm worried about Lisa having to handle Gong Fan alone."

…

In his seat, Gong Fan drank a glass of fruit juice and stared out of the window in a daze.

Private planes were different from commercial planes. They were alot more spacious.

The plane was huge to begin with, and the interior was extremely luxurious. The space was divided into a dining area and reception area, as well as a living area and a projection area. Alice returned to the living area, while Gong Jie, Gong Fan, and Lisa sat in the reception area.

The reception area featured a solid timber wine cabinet and a small bar. Under their feet was an expensive saxon carpet, the sofa set was luxurious. It was obvious all these cost a fortune.

Lisa saw that Gong Fan had been staring out the window in a daze. She said him cautiously, "Aren't you tired? If you feel tired, you can sleep."

"I don't wish to sleep."

"Why don't you want to sleep? I sense you're exhausted."

Gong Fan finally turned to look at her. "I don't dare to sleep."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, I'll not wake up again."

Lisa smiled, helpless. "Why would you think that? Anyway, no matter what, stop being so negative. Everything will be alright when we get back to the Hurricane Group."

"How can I believe that everything will be alright just because we're back in the Hurricane Group?" As Gong Fan spoke, he lowered his head and looked at his hands numbly.

"Even I can't control my body. How can I believe that anyone else can control me?"

Lisa winced, suddenly speechless. She was silent for a long time. Then she said seriously, "Although that's what you say, I believe that everything will be fine!"

"Let's hope so!"

…

Alice came out of the sitting room and saw Lisa sitting with Gong Fan. She suddenly walked over to Gong Jie and asked quietly, "Why do I feel that Lisa is especially attentive to Gong Fan?"

Gong Jie shot her a cool, suspicious glance. "What are you getting at?"

"I'm just asking if you feel that way."

"Yes."

"Then do you also feel that Little Yichen pays Lisa a great deal of attention?"

Gong Jie suddenly understood why she was being so secretive about it. "Hasn't Little Yichen always been attentive towards Lisa."

"Well look, Little Yichen likes Lisa, but Lisa likes Youyou… I mean, Gong Fan… no matter how you look at it, it seems like a three-cornered relationship." Alice sounded worried. "In that case, would that not develop into a love triangle when they grow up?"

Gong Jie smiled. "Then you must not have noticed how attentive Youyou is towards Natalia."

"Ah, I can see that!" She had already noticed that when the boy had repeatedly insisted that Gong Jie adopt Natalia.

"Why do you think the boy cares so much about Natalia?"

"Because… she's pretty?" That was the only possibility Gong Jie could think of.

"Well … I've lost all hope in this superficial world."

"You should have, long ago."

In this world, looks is everything.
