One Child Two Treasures: The Billionaire Chief’s Good Wife

He paused to look at her before he went on with his explanation.
“Similar to choosing products, those people in that business carefully selected poor and young girls from all over the country.
Those with better physical appearances were trained to have many talents.
They were adept at the Four Books and Five Classics, lute-playing, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Eventually, they were sold off to the rich as mistresses for a high price.
However, not all ‘thin horses’ were that lucky.
Those who did not get selected were sent to brothels.

Some were sent to the rich with their prices clearly marked.”

She squeezed her brows.

“Who else, then? I realized that you haven’t had your lunch.
Since you slept through the entire afternoon, you must be famished now!”

“Thank you!” She pressed her lips together, thankful for his thoughtfulness.
