Chapter 538: Starting Over
Lu Jinyan was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, his face flushed.That damned Wen Duoduo, she really ran away! Ran away!
He took out his phone, wanting to call her, but when he got it out, he found that it had gotten wet and couldn’t function properly.
"Shit!" He couldn’t help but curse out loud, almost throwing the phone in his hand.
His forceful movement tugged at the wound on his arm, which had also been soaked, making it even more uncomfortable.
His whole body was soaked, with the wet clothes clinging tightly to his skin, looking utterly bedraggled.
Someone seemed to recognize him and pointed at him saying, "Hey, isn’t that guy the Piano Prince Lu Jinyan? He looks a lot like him."
"No way it’s Lu Jinyan, Lu Jinyan is a noble gentleman; why would he be in a place like this? And soaked to the bone?"
"But he really looks like him, maybe it is him? I think I heard a woman cursing at him just now, calling out ’Lu Jinyan’."
"Really? Then hurry up and take a photo with your phone!"
...
Afraid of being recognized, Lu Jinyan quickly pulled up his coat to cover his head.
Just then, a little girl about ten years old blocked his way.
The girl looked up at him with her head tilted back, revealing two cute little canine teeth, looking clever and adorable.
The little girl said, "Big brother, a young lady over there asked me to bring you this bag of clothes. You should put them on quickly."
Young lady?
Could it be Wen Duoduo?
Lu Jinyan looked up but didn’t see any trace of Wen Duoduo.
He took the bag the little girl was carrying, said ’thank you’, and opened it to find a simple, plain set of sportswear inside.
He looked back at the little girl and asked, "Where’s the young lady who gave you this? Can you tell me where to find her?"
The little girl shook her head and said, "She’s already gone."
Gone?
Lu Jinyan felt a twitch in his temples again.
Damn, she really left.
He dejectedly held onto the bag of clothes, looking back with every step towards where Wen Duoduo had disappeared, but seeing no sign of her, he had no choice but to give up and get back into the car.
From the third floor of another building, looking down from a certain floor-to-ceiling window, one could see the fountain square clearly.
Wen Duoduo was hiding beside a flower stand next to the floor-to-ceiling window, with the large leaves of artificial flowers blocking half of her figure, observing Lu Jinyan’s silhouette from afar.
She only breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out from behind the flower stand once she confirmed he’d gotten into the car and driven away.
Whew—
Finally got rid of him.
Wen Duoduo clutched her chest and took a deep breath again, thinking that she could finally have some peace and quiet.
Next, she needed to quickly get a new phone number, find an apartment through an agency, move out, and then handle her resignation procedures at Curtis Art School.
Then, start everything anew!
Yes, that’s the plan!
Having made up her mind, Wen Duoduo began to walk with a spring in her step.
In the mall, she got a new phone number, and the first call she made was to her friend Song Yinyin.
Seeing the unfamiliar number, Song Yinyin initially thought it was a spam call and didn’t answer, but Wen Duoduo persistently called four or five times until she finally picked up.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Yinyin, it’s Duoduo."
"Duoduo?"
Song Yinyin was surprised, put down her phone, and after repeatedly confirming that it wasn’t Wen Duoduo’s usual number but a new number, she asked, "Why did you change your number?"
