She still looked the same, no different from how he remembered her, but that had nothing to do with him anymore.
Lee Won-bin didn't want to get entangled with her. It seemed that today was not a good day to meet Lee Jung-jae.
After a long silence, he put out his cigarette in the ashtray, stood up with his hands on the chair, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face: "It seems that today is not a good day to meet. Goodbye."
After saying that, he nodded to Lee Jung-jae and turned to walk out the door.
Seeing Lee Won-bin about to leave, Lee Jung-jae's eyes flashed and he instinctively wanted to chase him, but after glancing at Lin Shiling beside him, he still did not move.
"Today is your birthday, happy birthday!"
Li Yuanbin paused slightly, and without looking back, he nodded with his back to the two of them: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. We can talk again next time when we have time."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
In the private room, Lin Shiling sat in her seat and looked at Li Zhengzai nervously: "Did he really not say anything?"
"Today is his birthday."
Lee Jung-jae did not answer her question directly. He looked at her and repeated this sentence.
It is sad that a mother doesn't even remember her child's birthday.
If I remember correctly, she took her baby daughter out to celebrate her birthday two days ago, but now she has forgotten her son's birthday.
But this is also Lin Shiling's family affair, and Lee Jung-jae can't say anything.
On the other side, after leaving Maple Tree Restaurant, Li Yuanbin drove towards a cafe.
My sister Yuanzhu said that the place is very nice and just right for me in my current situation.
This is a membership-only cafe designed specifically for those who are not easily seen by the public.
For example, those rich second-generations or celebrities.
Li Yuanbin has been to many places like this, and he has no less than ten members himself.
If Yuanzhu hadn't called him today and strongly recommended it to him, he would never have gone.
As soon as he entered the coffee shop, a waiter in waiter's uniform came up to him, bowed respectfully to Li Yuanbin, and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Li, please come this way. Miss Li has called."
"Is there a seat by the window?" Li Yuanbin nodded and observed the surrounding environment without revealing his expression. It turned out that this was considered to be above average among the many coffee shops he had seen.
The waiter was startled, but quickly reacted and nodded: "Yes, but is it okay with you?"
You have to know that most of the people who come here have things that they don't want to be photographed or exposed by the public.
Li Yuanbin waved his hand, signaling him to make arrangements as soon as possible.
The waiter picked up the intercom, said a few words softly, and then made a gesture of invitation, in the opposite direction of what he had just done.
Li Yuanbin followed the male servant westward, through a long corridor, and met many people along the way.
Among them were couples complaining to each other about their recent hard travels, friends catching up on the past, people Li Yuanbin knew, and people he didn't know.
"Please wait a moment." The waiter led Li Yuanbin to a seat by the window.
Soon, coffee and snacks were served, and before leaving, they thoughtfully turned on the music in the hall.
Enjoying the stimulation brought by the taste of desserts and coffee, silently watching the people passing by outside the glass.
"Pfft..." Li Yuanbin suddenly burst into laughter.
Originally, Star Capital and Netmarble Group signed a contract today. EA also frustrated Nexon and NCsoft's plans and cheated them, but EA was able to make money from it. He should be happy.
But what was this subtle feeling? Just thinking about it made me feel like I was going crazy.
I picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and the bitterness circulated in my mouth.
Suddenly, there was a burst of playful noise, and two figures broke into Li Yuanbin's sight, pulling his thoughts away.
Looking closely, I saw two girls, young and energetic.
The two men leaned their shoulders against each other, one with his arm woven into the other's, and a slightly older man followed behind.
Looking at the standard nanny car in the distance, Li Yuanbin understood that it was another idol star.
The two people who were approaching also noticed Li Yuanbin's presence, hurriedly let go of each other, bowed slightly to him, and ran away in small steps.
Judging from the direction the two people left, they should have also come to this cafe.
Soothing music echoed in his ears, and Li Yuanbin gradually focused his attention on his mobile phone.
He didn't notice that the waiter who brought him here came over with the two girls and sat down not far from Li Yuanbin.
Not long after, the waiter came in pushing a dining cart, followed by several waitresses.
Coming to Li Yuanbin, he bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Li, this is the birthday cake that Miss Li ordered for you. Please enjoy it."
Li Yuanbin stood up and expressed his gratitude to everyone.
"Minnie, this person's birthday is today~"
Song Yuqi, who was sitting in her seat waiting for her agent, saw this scene and excitedly patted Minnie's arm beside her and whispered.
Today, the six of them had just finished shooting a fashion magazine. Song Yuqi and Minnie were a little hungry, so an agent brought them here to eat something, and the rest of them returned to the dormitory.
Unexpectedly, the private room in the coffee shop that was often frequented by seniors from the company was full today. The two of them had no choice but to come here and wait while the agent went to the front desk to place an order.
Fortunately, the two of them have just debuted and are not very well-known, so the risk of being exposed here is not great.
"Yes, but it's actually a person's birthday, how pitiful..." Minnie kept her eyes on Li Yuanbin and said with a little sympathy.
Song Yuqi also felt the same way. It is so difficult to feel lonely alone.
It is indeed not easy to venture into a foreign country alone, but fortunately I met a group of good friends.
"But, birthdays definitely require singing birthday songs, right? Why don't we go..."
“??? But we don’t know him.”
Minnie frowned. She was opposed to Song Yuqi's proposal.
"Let's go, let's just think of it as helping me build confidence!"
Song Yuqi shook Minnie's arm.
It's not like she hasn't sung in front of strangers before, but that was before her debut.
Unable to dissuade this social expert, Minnie had to agree, secretly reminding herself that if anything went wrong, she would pull Yuqi aside to apologize.
Two people walked slowly towards the group.
When Li Yuanbin opened the box, the waiter beside him was ready. Just as he was about to speak, he heard two pleasant voices coming from behind him.
"Happy birthday to you~"
"Happy birthday to you~"
The waiters all turned around and saw two girls clapping their hands and singing.
The singing also attracted Li Yuanbin's attention. He looked in the direction where the sound came from and saw the two girls he had just seen.
For a moment, Li Yuanbin's attention was attracted by one of the girls with long hair and bangs on her forehead.
