One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire’s Sweet Love

4575 The Other Side 544

In the meantime.

East Africa.

Due to the war, it was almost impossible to find any remaining shops… However, Alice did the impossible.

Next to the hospital, there was a very run-down dessert shop. There were cakes in their display cabinets inside. However, because of the conditions and the severe limitations, the cakes looked like they were smeared unevenly with very cheap cream. There was nothing exquisite about them.

However, in such a chaotic environment, being able to find this shop was considered an achievement. There was probably a market if one traveled further, but with the conditions of East Africa and the recent invasion of the war, there were refugees everywhere. Many shops that had survived the war had been smashed and looted by their own local refugees.

Such a cake was not cheap. It actually cost dozens of US dollars. Due to the war, the country’s currency had depreciated like waste paper. Only US dollars were allowed to circulate on the market.

Alice bought the cake.

The actor was a little surprised to see what she had bought! “Where did you get the cake?”

“An obscure corner store next to the hospital.”

An obscure corner store…

She had already said that it was an obscure corner store, but she found it nevertheless!

Alice paused for a moment and continued, “Fortunately, it’s in an obscure corner, so it hadn’t been robbed by the refugees. Many of the more conspicuous shops around the hospital area have been robbed and closed down. This place is remote and still doing business.”

“Alright.”

“It’s Xiao Jie’s birthday today. Did you prepare him a present?”

The actor frowned. “I’m… did.”

“What sort of present?”

“It’s a secret!” The actor shot her a cool look. “I can’t tell you.”

“Why?”

“It’s not a gift for you. Why are you getting so excited?”

When Alice heard this, she knew she was inviting a snub and whistled. “Hmph, it must be some shameful gift!” As she spoke, she carried the cake in.

In the ward, Gong Jie was leaning against the window drinking coffee when he saw Alice coming in with the cake. His eyes widened in surprise.

Earlier on, Alice had told him that she was going to buy him a cake. The man was worried that she’d run into danger, but Alice joked that she wasn’t the one on the wanted list, so where would the risks come from?

The man did not think much of it.

Although Alice was not on the wanted list, she was a member of the Hurricane Group, no less. Even the FBI knew her. Moreover, at this time, there were ruins and debris everywhere. How did she manage to go into the ruins and find a cake shop there? It was simply wishful thinking.

Unexpectedly, she really did manage to buy a cake.

Unbelievable.

There was nothing that this woman couldn’t do.

“Ever since you were young, you could pass on anything except cake.”

While Gong Jie was surprised, he was also touched by her sincerity. It was so dangerous out there and yet, she went out to buy him a cake.

Cake was not a tradition of the Gong family. But when he was a child and celebrated his birthday with his sister, there would always be a cake. It was the most important ceremony.

He was a very ritualistic person. Every birthday, Mu Qingcheng would buy him a birthday cake. Although the cake was sometimes very big and sometimes very small, not even enough for three people, it was a necessity nevertheless.

One year, after he had gone back to the Gong family, Gong Shaoyinge forgot to buy a cake for one of his birthdays.
