yes were, he remained unmoved and refused to let up on his decision that she couldn't go with him.Fang Jiaqi slowly released Kaka's arm, tears welling in her eyes. "Nan Feng, I genuinely hope that whe...Chapter 327
She had grown up with Du Di since childhood but rarely received his affection. He treated everyone coldly, neither distant nor intimate, except for his parents and the old man. When she was a child, the happiest thing was when Du Di would smile at her; it would make her happy for an entire day. As she grew older, Du Di's smiles became fewer and he became increasingly aloof. With such a character, she believed that he would never love anyone and no one could ever get close to him.
No one could take away her brother.
Recently, her brother suddenly fell in love with a film called "Seductive Beauty." She found it strange because Du Di hardly watched movies; he preferred musicals and operas and never bothered with commercial films. Yet, she had caught him watching this particular movie multiple times. She suspected that he must have watched it repeatedly behind everyone's back.
She also went to see the film but found nothing special about it or even its lead actress, who wasn't her type at all. However, one day when Jing Nan casually mentioned it, she learned that the female protagonist in the movie had met her brother once in A City and that he had helped her out of a difficult situation then. Her heart tightened as she noticed the name on the cast list was Wenran.
Later, Fei Ling called her to say that the dress set had been bought by Ye Nimo for his woman; she flew into a rage upon learning it was indeed Wenran. This time she returned to China specifically to find out who this Wenran was that could make her brother take notice of her. Of course, she couldn't tell Du Di about this reason and used the cheongsam as an excuse.
She did not want anyone else to come and snatch her brother away; he belonged solely to her, and whoever dared would have to pay with their life.
"No repeats," said Du Di coldly. Du Yueying clenched her fists, lowered her head, and remained silent. Her brother must have been treating her this way because of that Wenran woman.
Before, whenever she got into trouble, he would always clean up the mess for her. Whenever someone bullied her, he made sure the person suffered terribly. Yet this time, he didn't even bother to help her.
It must be because of that Wenran.
Sima Rui would never let that woman off, she was just an actress and someone else's woman; she shouldn't have made her brother fall for her.
"Did you hear me"
"Yes," Du Yueying replied softly. Du Di pushed the door open and went out, Jing Nan followed closely behind him, leaving Du Yueying's face twisted with jealousy.
...
Wen Ran had been worried that Ye Feimo would get into legal trouble over this incident, but she hadn't heard any news about it. Instead, the newspapers reported on Ye Feimo hitting someone and said some very unkind things. After all, he did hit a woman at an airport where many people witnessed it. Not knowing the cause of his actions, everyone thought that Ye Feimo was wrong.
This incident showed a lack of gentlemanly conduct; in the eyes of the Chinese public, hitting women is always wrong, no matter what the reason.
Anning's corporate image took a hit and their PR team had to work overtime.
However, Ye Feimo managed everything properly, so Wen Ran wasn't very worried. The legal trouble that seemed like it would be a big deal ended up fizzling out quietly. When Ye Feimo said the matter was over, Wen Ran's heart settled as well.
"How do you want to eat pizza"
"I didn't know what to buy so I got pizza and fruit salad. Do you want a drink Should I pour one for you
"No, thank you." Warming, who was still half-asleep and holding a pizza to eat, yawned. Ye Feimo looked at her while smiling, "You’ll be more awake in a bit; we have company training this afternoon that Cai Xiaojing has already arranged for us. Let’s go home after work for dinner."
"Got it." Warming planned to eat well before going back to sleep and then head to the company at 4 pm, just long enough to get through her shift so she could go home with him. "All your fault; next time you’ll be in big trouble."
"It’s your own fault for not feeding me properly," Ye Feimo said boldly. Warming rolled her eyes and went to answer the phone when it rang from the bedroom. It was an unknown number, and she answered with a yawn, “Hello, this is Warming speaking, who is this”
A faint chuckle came through the line, "Is your eye alright"
The voice sounded unfamiliar but pleasant, deep and magnetic, yet also soothing. Warming couldn’t place it despite searching her memory for a while, “Much better now, thank you. Who is this”
"It’s Du Di."
“Oh, Mr. Du…” Warming thought to herself, trying to recall who Du Di was before she remembered him. She smoothly continued the conversation in her usual amiable tone, "Thank you very much for last time; I finally got around to calling."
"I thought you had forgotten about me," he said.
"How could I" Warming laughed a little uneasily. If he hadn't called first, she might have really forgotten him. "How did you get my personal number"
“It’s simple; just look it up,” Du Di replied with a chuckle.
Warm had some doubts, should she look it up Where to look it up though Should she ask Baidu Can she find the phone number of the US president then That would be too神通廣大 [omnipotent]. Warm put her questions aside and asked, "Mr. Du, did you have something in mind"
"I'm really sorry about my little sister's behavior. She is young and spoiled, if she offended you, please don't take it to heart." Du Di's voice sounded incredibly pleasant.
Warm frowned slightly. His little sister
"Is Du Yueying your sister"
"Yes!"
Warm curled her lips. "You two don't look like siblings at all."
Du Di chuckled and did not say much about his sister's matter. He inquired about Warm’s eye condition and was willing to cover her medical expenses. Warm smiled gently, “Mr Du, really no need for that. You saying this makes me feel uneasy. Mr Ye acted impulsively and hurt Miss Du; she is more seriously injured than I am. Let's just forget about it. Also, please convey my message to Miss Du—if she likes the cheongsam that much, I will have someone deliver it back to her. It’s only a piece of clothing, no need to ruin our relationship over such a trivial matter.”
Du Di was so courteous and polite; Warm felt rather uncomfortable. Anyone would feel at ease around such a gentlemanly man and wouldn't want to cause trouble for him. Given Du Yueying's temper, she wouldn’t call to apologize either; it must be Du Di’s efforts that the Du family decided not to pursue this matter further. Warm was grateful and didn’t want to make things difficult for him as well. If returning the cheongsam could pacify Du Yueying's anger, she might give in.
“Warm, don't say that. The matter of the cheongsam is just… you don't need to return it, I think you look very good in it. It’s a small matter after all. Yingying has always been capricious and insists on getting what she wants. She will calm down soon enough, I'll buy her another cheongsam later. Besides, with her temper, she definitely won't want this one again, so don’t trouble yourself.” Du Di's tone was rather indifferent but carried a hint of amusement, making it quite pleasant to listen to and not cold or distant; Warm enjoyed the way he spoke.in sweat. Being suspended in mid-air for so long caused her to break out into cold sweats, and her legs were still trembling. Her hair was completely wet through. Gu Babu lay there gasping for breath;...
