Chapter 1019: She Still Came Looking

She was really starving and didn’t care about her image anymore, so she picked up the chopsticks and started to eat vigorously.

After only a few bites, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the light above her head completely.

"Have you finished eating?"

Thinking it was someone trying to rush her to leave so they could take the seat, Wen Duoduo answered crossly, "No."

Two seconds later, Wen Duoduo suddenly realized something was off, the man’s voice seemed very familiar, like...

She was suddenly startled awake, looking up to see Lu Jinyan with slightly downward lips, his handsome face ominously gloomy, as if a blizzard could be summoned any moment to engulf her.

"Lu Jinyan, how come..."

"Nonsense."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Jinyan had already replaced her words perfectly with his cold two words.

He quickly walked up to Wen Duoduo, reached out and pulled her up from her seat, intending to drag her away.

"Hey, I haven’t finished eating! Let go!"

"Shut up, unless you want the cops from precinct 110 next door to get involved, you better follow me."

He directly threw a hundred-dollar bill at the clerk, an action so full of swagger it was hard to overlook.

Wen Duoduo looked at the stunned employees and customers in the shop and felt like she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

She struggled hard, but Lu Jinyan had a strong grip, and with a few pulls, she was out on the street.

Wen Duoduo was furious, finally unable to bear it anymore, she shook off Lu Jinyan’s hand.

Obviously, Lu Jinyan wasn’t one to easily back down; he pulled her along further until they took a turn into a secluded alley and stopped.

Once standing still, he turned around, his brows slightly raised in anger, "Wen Duoduo, can you explain to me why you didn’t answer the phone, didn’t return texts, and even turned it off?"

He was very worried about her, afraid she might have misunderstood something and acted impulsively with disastrous consequences.

Wen Duoduo turned her face away, avoiding his gaze.

"Didn’t hear it."

She was clearly brushing it off, Lu Jinyan frowned and asked again, "Can you explain why you left the thermos at the hospital door and just walked away?"

"Is that even a question? Of course, I didn’t want to disturb you guys."

You guys, naturally including Ning Wan.

Noticing her slightly sour tone, Lu Jinyan became even more certain that she must have seen Ning Wan hugging him and misunderstood.

He reached out to pinch Wen Duoduo’s chin, forcing her to look at him, "Did you misunderstand something? Nothing happened between Ning Wan and me, you..."

Wen Duoduo’s heart suddenly twitched for no reason, and she blurted out, "I didn’t see anything, didn’t misunderstand, just... suddenly remembered I had something urgent."

"Something urgent? What urgent matter?"

Lu Jinyan knew she was avoiding it, her demeanor was just like a turtle retracting into its shell with just the slightest provocation.

"I, I..."

Being questioned like that, Wen Duoduo couldn’t immediately come up with a suitable reason, and angrily said, "Why should I tell you?! It’s urgent, that’s it!"

Whenever she gets anxious, she starts deflecting.

Lu Jinyan couldn’t help but smile, but didn’t get angry.

In the next second, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her arm again, heading back to the breakfast shop.

"Hey, why are you going back again?"

"I’m hungry too, going to get something to eat," he said.

Wen Duoduo frowned, "If you want to eat, buy it yourself."

"I didn’t bring money."

"..."

She was speechless, but couldn’t muster any anger.
