Chapter 25
When Samuel took Yvonne and left, a beautiful figure rushed out of the main entrance of the
department store. She scanned her surroundings, then went back i n disappointment when she did not
see a certain silhouette.
The next day at around 3am, Samuel was sleeping soundly on the floor. Then Yvonne's phone abruptly
rang.
Few people would call in the middle of the night. Yvonne stared at the display screen, silent.
"Don't tell me that you haven't slept yet because you're still trying on clothes," Samuel said resignedly.
She was too lazy to hold the phone to her ear, so she turned the loudspeaker on. An ear-piercing
shriek that belonged to Linda came from the phone.
"Yvonne, I'm in love! I finally found my Prince Charming.”
Yvonne could not help but roll her eyes. "It's in the middle of the night," she said. "Are you nuts?"
Sob sob. Linda suddenly pretended to cry. Yvonne was too tired to respond to that.
"I shouldn't have gone to the toilet yesterday. I wouldn't have let my Prince Charming go otherwise.
"Do you know what the crowd was fussing over
yesterday? Apparently, it was a piano-playing cutie. Did you know that that man is now trending all over
ever since a short video of him was uploaded? I have t o find him. I'll dig him out!"
"What video? What cutie? It’s an unholy hour, and you're still not asleep," Yvonne said. "What on earth
do you want from me? If you don't speak up, I'll hang up and go to sleep.”
"Hold on. I'll send the video to you."
A short video was quickly sent to her phone. Yvonne played it. She only saw the back of a man sitting
before a piano. Sure, he played pretty well, but Yvonne did not feel particularly moved by the
performance. 1
"This must be some ruse planned by an online celebrity," Yvonne said. "Since when were you so
irrational?"
"No way, no way. I have to find him and marry him. He’s my Prince Charming. Only someone like him is
a match for a fairy princess like me." Linda was like a madwoman; she had watched the video on
repeat for a t least a hundred times.
"Go to sleep. There may be another video posted in a few more days. An online celeb like this will
definitely make his appearance one day." Yvonne did not wish t o entertain her crazy best friend any
further.
"Yvonne, I'm worried that he has a girlfriend. Even worse... What if he's married? I'll lose all hope in
life..."
She did not even finish her sentence when Yvonne hung up on her without sympathy.
Samuel quietly eavesdropped on their conversation. H e never thought that a moment of impulse would
garner this much attention.
Like always, they got up at six on the dot. After the two finished their morning jog, ate their breakfast,
and returned home, Samuel sent Yvonne to her office.
Being a project manager now, Yvonne's workload had grown a lot bigger than before. As Samuel rode
his electric bike away, she subconsciously cast a glance a t him.
This figure...
Yvonne shook her head. Was it not normal to think that it was familiar? It had already been three years.
How could she not be familiar with that sight?
During her lunch break, Linda called her again. The woman was utterly infatuated by the online
celebrity from yesterday.
"Yvonne, my soul is no longer in my body. Please save me,” Linda said.
"It looks like you've really gone insane,” Yvonne snapped irritably. "It's just an online celebrity. Why the
big fuss over him?"
"Are you free now? I’ll come by your company. I need your help."
Yvonne checked the time. Her lunch break lasted for two hours so she still had time. She was also
really worried about her friend's mental wellbeing. "Come over then," she said. 1
It did not take too long for Linda to arrive at her office. Her best friend still played that short video on her
phone, and she had not slept the whole night. She looked so haggard that she appeared ten years
older; the dark circles ringing her eyes looked almost like a panda's.
"My dear, I’ve completely fallen into a trap." Linda laid on the guest lounge’s couch, her expression
caught somewhere between life and death.
Yvonne snatched her phone away from her. She was about to turn the video off when Linda suddenly
bolted upright. "Don’t close it. My heart feels empty if I don’t hear the piano.”
She saw that figure again. An image of Samuel’s back abruptly surfaced in Yvonne's head. They
looked similar—too similar, as if they were carbon copies of one another.
"What are you looking at?" Linda said in a warning tone. "This is my man. You're a married woman, and
you still want to take my man away from me?"
Yvonne frowned. "Don't you think that this figure looks very familiar?" she said, tone uncertain.
"Of course it looks familiar. I've been watching that the whole night. How could it not look familiar?"
Linda said matter-of-factly.
"No." Yvonne shook her head. "Look at his clothes,"
she said.
Linda studied the figure on the screen. His clothes looked smart. Nothing wrong with that.
"What's wrong with his clothes?" Linda asked.
"It looks like what Samuel was wearing yesterday." A small jolt of shock clenched Yvonne's heart. If she
did not pay attention, she would not have realized that detail. It was not just the figure that looked alike-
even their clothes were alike. Was the man in the video really her husband? 1
"Samuel?" Linda looked at the clothes. True enough, they looked similar. However, she was not familiar
with Samuel's figure. Besides, she already pinned the man in the video as hers. Her beautiful dream
would b e shattered if it turned out to be Samuel.
"There’s no way. It's not him. It's a coincidence that the clothes look alike." Linda thought for a while,
then continued, "Can Samuel play the piano? When have you seen him playing it?"
"I haven't," Yvonne replied.
"There you go. That man played beautifully. How could he have such skills if he didn't practice every
day? How could it be Samuel?"
"That's true." Yvonne nodded her head. Playing the piano was a skill that was accumulated over the
years. For all these three years, she had not seen her husband playing the piano. Even if he knew how
to play it before, his skill level would have probably been reduced to practically zero after these years.
While the two best friends were chatting away, netizens had already given him a nickname, 'The Piano
Prince’. Many women wanted to uncover his identity, and he became an overnight internet sensation. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Meanwhile, Samuel rode his electric bike and came across an Audi dealer store, which the world has
another name for-Lighthouses. 1
For now, he sent Yvonne to her office and took her back with his electric scooter. Be it rain or shine,
Samuel was fine with it, but he could not ruin his wife’s porcelain skin.
"The heck? Is it a new trend? Riding an electric scooter to see Audis?”
"This fellow took a wrong turn, did he? We don't sell Yadea electric scooters here." 1
"Who’s interested in entertaining him? I have a bigshot customer coming in later."
When Samuel parked his scooter, a few salesmen in the store started laughing.
