Chapter 471

eup and change into a purple low-cut evening gown. She also picked out a pair of purple crystal high heels, along with jewelry and accessories. With everything in place, as long as Warming did not rev...Chapter 471

"Foolish girl, there's no need to say thank you; it feels estranged. This is what I should do." Du Di said. She was originally his fiancée and was born to be protected and cherished by him.

She closed her eyes, suppressing the disappointment and relief in her heart. It was Du Di, not the person she had hoped for. There was a sense of loss as well as relief. Feiyu wasn't feeling well now; he shouldn't have been able to fly all the way from China to America.

She might be overthinking things.

Perhaps her longing had led to an illusion.

Warming suddenly remembered something, "You arranged for me to stay in a hospital. Is everything alright Will it... cause any trouble"

"What trouble There's nothing wrong. I have the official release order; they won't bother you anymore. You're safe and free. Don't worry." Du Di knew she had misunderstood, hurriedly assuring her.

If he hadn't saved her through legal means, Warming would become a wanted person in America and wouldn't be able to live there legally. He didn't want that to happen, moreover, with his connections in the government, it was easy enough for him to ensure she could live freely. There was no need for risks or letting Warming lose her original life.

The warmth in her heart dispelled some confused fragments that flashed through her mind. She suddenly remembered a melodious baritone voice—her little cousin-in-law… That was Bai's voice. A corner of Warmth’s lips curled up; so it was Bai who had come, and then Didi. Did Bai leave because he considered that Didi could legally rescue her

So that explains it.

Bai is really bold to dare go to such a place.

"Warmth, don’t think about anything right now. Just try to sleep, okay" Didi comforted her, and Warmth nodded.

The next time she woke up, she felt much better mentally. The nurse took her temperature; she had a slight fever but nothing serious. As she sat up, the bandages around her neck made her feel uncomfortable, and she couldn’t move too much or it would pull at the wound.

Her wrists were also wrapped in layer upon layer of bandages, though not as seriously injured as her neck.

Due to the injury on her neck, her voice sounded hoarse.

An FBI agent wanted to question her regarding what happened. Just hearing about the FBI made Warmth tremble all over in fear; those十幾個小時對她來說簡直就是一場噩夢。

Dude said, "Don't be afraid, just some routine questions that won't hurt you."

Ruiwen didn't want to warm up to Dude either and nodded. It was Dude who let them in; the two white male agents asked Ruiwen about what had happened in the basement, who fired at the FBI agent, and what transpired before they entered.

Ruiwen knew nothing and said she was unconscious, seeing or hearing nothing. At that time when they came in, she had been passed out on a chair; besides, they had seen her injuries and even if they hadn't, they would have looked at the medical report. Therefore, what Ruiwen said seemed quite credible. They didn't want to trouble her either and asked her to contact them if she remembered anything. Then Dude escorted them out.

Ruiwen suppressed her fear; she wouldn't betray Wǔshuāng, nor would she betray Xiǎobái.

"Dude, thank you so much this time. I'm troubling you again," Ruiwen said and thanked him once more. She really felt bad about always being a burden to Dude when she had promised to leave with him but hadn't kept her promise back then. Later on in America, even though Dude wanted to help her, she rejected his offer because everything was arranged by the Wen family for her; she tried hard to keep her distance from Dude and knew that he was nice to her, yet couldn’t reciprocate his kindness. She didn't want him to waste his time or accept his good intentions.

Because she owed him so much, she agreed to attend the fashion show as a favor after all. But now that the event was approaching and with this many injuries, she couldn't fulfill her promise anymore. Ruiwen felt utterly defeated.

She always failed to keep her promises to Dude due to external factors; yet he risked himself for her sake. She really felt terrible about it. Ruiwen wasn’t stupid—no matter whether Xiǎobái was a member of the mafia or an artist, he knew many people, even within the government. But in the end, he couldn't save her with such means, whereas Dude let her leave legally and without any blemish on his record. She knew that Dude must have made some sort of deal with the government because as a longtime arms supplier, they had always been close business partners; both parties could benefit from each other. But this time, for her sake, Dude was surely in an extremely passive situation. Thinking about it, she didn't know how to repay him.

She owed Dude more and more, too much to count.

She really can't repay him.

"Warming, I just spoke, it's not at all troublesome, just a small favor. Don't overthink it and focus on getting well. Leave the rest to me, okay No one will know about this," Du Di said. "I'll handle everything for you."

Warming nodded through her tears; she would be lying if she said she wasn't moved by a man treating her with such affection, especially knowing how he felt and still going out of his way to help her. She truly didn't know what to say.

"If you feel guilty, then just focus on getting well. Healing yourself is the greatest repayment for me," Du Di said with a smile as he gently ruffled her hair and held her hand affectionately. "Sometimes being kind to someone is simply a matter of fate—one person gives, another receives. It's something natural and expected. You don't need to worry too much about it. As long as you accept my kindness and help, I'm already very satisfied. This is all I wish for and I don't expect anything in return, okay"

"But..."

"No buts!" Du Di said firmly, his gaze piercing into Warming's eyes. "I just want to be nice to you, so please don't reject me, okay"

Warming had nothing more to say; with him speaking like this, there was no point in her arguing.

Du Di suddenly smiled. "Through this experience, I've come to admire you even more."g such an extensive organization was tiring, yet many only knew her for her decisive killings but had never seen her fretting over the Middle Eastern situation or being vexed by irreconcilable interna...
