Chapter 3 Happy Birthday
She still looked the same, no different from how he remembered her, but it had nothing to do with him anymore.
Li Wonbin didn't want to get entangled with her. It seemed that today was not a good day to meet Li Zhengjae.
After a long silence, he put the cigarette in the ashtray and stubbed it out. He stood up with his hands on the seat and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face: "It seems that today is not a good day to meet, so let's say goodbye."
After saying that, he nodded to Li Zhengzai, turned around and walked out the door.
Seeing Li Yuanbin about to leave, Li Zhengzai's eyes flickered and he instinctively wanted to catch up. However, he glanced at Lin Shiling beside him and still did not take action.
"Today is your birthday, happy birthday!"
There was a slight pause in the pace of action. Li Yuanbin did not look back. He turned his back to the two of them and nodded: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. We will chat next time when we have time."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
In the private room, Lin Shiling sat on her seat and looked at Li Zhengzai nervously: "Did he really not say anything?"
"Today is his birthday."
Li Zhengzai did not answer her question directly. He looked at her and repeated these words.
A mother can't remember her child's birthday. Should it be said that she is sad or sad?
If I remember correctly, she took her baby daughter out to celebrate her birthday two days ago, but in the blink of an eye she didn't remember her son's birthday.
But this can be regarded as Lin Shiling's family matter, and Li Zhengzai can't say anything.
On the other side, leaving Maple Tree Restaurant, Li Yuanbin drove towards a coffee shop.
I heard from my sister Yuanzhu that it was very nice there and it was just right for me in my current situation.
This is a members-only cafe, specially designed for people who are not easily visible in the public eye.
For example, those rich second generation, or celebrities.
Li Yuanbin has been to many places like this, and he has no less than ten members.
If Yuan Zhu hadn't called specifically today and strongly recommended it to him, he would never have gone.
As soon as he entered the coffee shop, a male waiter wearing waiter's clothes came up to him, bowed respectfully to Li Yuanbin, and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Li, please come here. Miss Li has already called."
"Is there a seat by the window?" Li Yuanbin nodded and observed the surrounding environment without missing a beat. Not to mention, among the many coffee shops he had seen, it was considered to be above average.
The male waiter was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded and nodded: "Yes, but is it okay with you?"
You must know that those who come here are more or less unwilling to be photographed or exposed by the public.
Li Yuanbin waved his hand, indicating that he would make arrangements as soon as possible.
The male waiter picked up the walkie-talkie, whispered a few words, and then made a gesture of invitation, which was in the opposite direction to the one he just took.
Li Yuanbin followed the male waiter all the way west, passing through the long corridor, and met many people along the way.
Among them, there were couples complaining to each other about their recent travel difficulties, friends reminiscing about old times, people Li Yuanbin knew, and others he didn't know.
"Wait a moment." The male waiter led Li Yuanbin to a seat by the window and sat down.
Soon, coffee and snacks were served, and before leaving, they thoughtfully turned on the music in the hall.
Enjoying the excitement brought by the taste of desserts and coffee, I silently watched the people passing by outside the glass.
"Pfft..." Li Yuanbin suddenly burst into laughter.
Originally, Star Capital and Marble Group signed a contract today, and EA also failed Nexon and NCsoft's wishful thinking, cheating them, and I can make money from it, so I should be happy.
But what's going on with this subtle feeling? Thinking about it, I feel like I'm crazy.
Pick up the coffee cup and take a sip, the bitterness circulates in your mouth.
Suddenly there was a sound of frolics, and two figures broke into Li Yuanbin's sight, pulling him out of his thoughts.
Taking a closer look, I saw two girls, youthful and energetic.
The two of them were leaning on each other's shoulders, one's arm was in the other's arm, and there was an older man following behind.
Looking at the standard nanny car in the distance, Li Yuanbin understood that it was an idol star again.
The two people who approached 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 they left, they should have come to this coffee shop.
With soothing music echoing in his ears, Li Yuanbin gradually focused on his mobile phone.
He didn't notice that the male waiter who brought him here came over with the two girls just now and sat down not far from Li Yuanbin.
Not long after, the male waiter came in pushing a dining cart, followed by several female waitresses.
He came to Li Yuanbin and bowed slightly: "Mr. Li, this is the birthday cake that Miss Li ordered for you. Please use it slowly."
Li Yuanbin stood up and thanked everyone.
"Minnie, this person's birthday is today~"
Song Yuqi, who was sitting in her seat waiting for her agent, saw this battle and excitedly patted Minnie's arm next to her and whispered.
The six of them had just finished shooting for a fashion magazine today. Song Yuqi and Minnie were a little hungry, so an agent took them here to have something to eat, and the rest returned to the dormitory.
Unexpectedly, this cafe, which is often frequented by the seniors of the company, has all the private rooms today. The two of them had to come here to wait while the manager went to the front desk to place his order.
Fortunately, the two of them have just debuted and are not well-known yet, so the risk of exposure here is not high.
"Sorry, but it's someone's birthday, so miserable..." Minnie kept staring at Li Yuanbin and said with a hint of sympathy.
Song Yuqi also feels the same way. It's so difficult to feel alone.
It is indeed not easy to travel alone in a foreign country, but fortunately I have met a group of good friends.
"However, the birthday song must be sung, how about we go..."
"???But we don't know him."
Minnie frowned, rejecting Song Yuqi's proposal.
"Let's go, let's go, just think of it as helping me develop my confidence!"
Song Yuqi shook Minnie's arm.
It's not like she has never done this before singing in front of strangers, but that goes back to before her debut.
Unable to resist this social expert, Minnie had no choice but to agree, secretly reminding herself that if something went wrong later, she would pull Yu Qi to apologize.
The two people walked slowly towards the group of people.
When Li Yuanbin opened the box, the waiter on the side was also 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 turned their heads collectively and saw two girls clapping their hands and singing.
The singing also attracted Li Yuanbin's attention. Looking in the direction of the sound, it was the two girls he had just seen.
