RPAGF Chapter 95 Goodbye 'Cabbage'
Chapter 95 Goodbye 'Cabbage'
Half an hour later, Lin Yuan returned home.
Mihoko lay half-reclined on the sofa watching TV, which was showing Lin Yuan and Lee Ji-eun's previous music show performance.
It's been almost a year.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh: Time really flies!
Hearing the door open, Mieko looked over, and the moment she saw him, her face lit up with a smile. She then put on her slippers and quickly walked over.
"Honey, you're finally back."
The two embraced gently, then gave each other a light kiss.
Mieko helped him hang up his coat and asked with a smile, "Are you hungry? Come and try the sukiyaki I just made, it's filled with red bean paste."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Lin Yuan patted her hand in response.
He used to think it was okay not to get married when he was single, and after being single for so long, he didn't want to date anymore. Looking back now, he wants to slap his past self.
The virtuous Mieko, dressed in her home clothes, was cooking hometown delicacies in the kitchen.
But he is the one who enjoys all of this.
"Ah-du~"
The familiar Kakao voice.
Upon opening it, I found it was sent by Xia Yuan:
【Young Master, I've already arranged to meet with President Kim of SM Entertainment at xxx Private Kitchen tomorrow morning at 10 AM. Also, Bae Joo-hyun, whom you requested, will be attending.】
Lin Yuan replied with an OK and then put away his phone.
At that moment, Mieko came out carrying sukiyaki and beckoned him to sit down.
Lin Yuan picked up a piece and tasted it. The outer pancake was just the right texture, and the red bean paste filling inside was sweet but not too cloying. It tasted like it had some lemon juice added.
.....
Seoul, luxury apartment 1302.
Lee Ji-eun dragged her tired body and opened the door. The moment she turned on the light, seven or eight children ran over and circled around her.
Seeing this, Lee Ji-eun smiled, squatted down and rubbed the dog's head, and her fatigue seemed to disappear by most of it.
"Oh my god, you guys look like you've gotten even fatter! Mommy can hardly carry you anymore."
Lee Ji-eun tentatively hugged him, but for a moment she couldn't stand up.
'Click'
At that moment, Hwang Ye-ji heard the noise, opened the door, and walked towards Lee Ji-eun with sleepy eyes, then hugged her tightly.
She rested her head on Lee Ji-eun's shoulder, and whimpered sleepily, "Unnie, you're finally back."
He looked like a koala, almost jumping right onto Lee Ji-eun.
Lee Ji-eun was both annoyed and amused.
What angered her was that Huang Lizhi was taller and stronger than her, and his embrace made it hard for her to breathe.
The funny thing is, the little girl is still as clingy as ever, often getting up in the middle of the night to check if she's there. If she is, she'll cuddle her to sleep; if not... the phone calls are like death knells, one after another.
At some point, her friends and colleagues all knew that Lee Ji-eun raised two dogs and an older daughter all by herself.
She patted Hwang Ye-ji's bottom and said, "Get down here. You're such a grown man, yet you're acting like a child. I can hardly breathe."
"No, I just like hugging unnie, she's so soft and comfortable."
Lee Ji-eun: 『....."
What else can we do? We can't just force her to stay like this. Besides, Lychee is well-behaved, sensible, and adorable. Most importantly... she's the daughter that man left her, so we can't let her get too thin.
After calming down the clingy Hwang Ye-ji, Lee Ji-eun finally managed to take off her coat and lead her to sit on the sofa.
The unfinished script and itinerary were still on the coffee table.
She leaned back on the sofa cushions, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar room, her eyes somewhat vacant, her thoughts drifting back to that man.
"Unnie, are you thinking about Oppa again?"
Hwang Ye-ji suddenly appeared, like a little fox, resting his chin on Lee Ji-eun's knee and looking up at her with bright eyes.
Lee Ji-eun snapped out of her reverie and flicked her forehead. Caught off guard, she stubbornly replied, "Don't talk nonsense, you're just a kid. I was thinking about tomorrow's schedule."
"I'm not a child anymore, I can see it all." Huang Lizhi muttered, rubbing his forehead, and casually picked up "Qiqi" who was wandering around his feet.
"But Oppa is really something, not even a phone call in so long. When he comes back next time, I'll definitely teach him a lesson for Unnie!"
Watching Hwang Ye-ji wave his little fist, Lee Ji-eun felt a surge of warmth in her heart. "You, would you dare say that to his face? I bet you wouldn't even dare to utter a harsh word!"
"No way!"
What a scoundrel! He took advantage of us and then left without a word. Doesn't he know that farmland needs irrigation sometimes?
I can't believe I've been able to leave myself alone for so long.
"Alright, stop being silly. How did practice go at the company today? I heard the choreography for the new song is difficult?" Lee Ji-eun ruffled Hwang Ye-ji's hair, cleverly changing the subject.
"Hmm! Although it was difficult, the teacher praised me for having the most standard movements today!" Huang Lizhi's eyes lit up instantly when he mentioned practicing, and he began to gesticulate the famous daytime dance moves with great enthusiasm.
Lee Ji-eun looked at her with a smile, her eyes full of doting affection.
It has to be said that Lin Yuan has a really sharp eye for people.
Not only is Lychee talented, but she's also more hardworking than her peers. Every time Lee Ji-eun sees her sweating profusely in the practice room, she feels that Lin Yuan is like a god, as if he had already predicted that this girl would succeed.
After chatting for a short while, Hwang Ye-ji felt sleepy again and leaned against Lee Ji-eun, soon breathing evenly.
Lee Ji-eun quietly took the blanket and covered the two of them, then dimmed the living room lights.
She took out her phone, skillfully scrolled to the number that had no name on it but which she knew by heart. Her finger hovered over the screen for a long time, but in the end, she didn't press it.
"You idiot, you pervert, I miss you so much..."
She murmured something softly, then hugged Huang Lizhi tightly in her arms, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
.....
The next morning.
The sunlight in Seoul shines through the morning mist onto the streets.
At 9:40, a low-key yet luxurious black minivan approached from a distance and finally came to a stop in front of a very secluded private restaurant.
The car door opened, and Lin Yuan, dressed in a custom-made casual suit, stepped out.
Sunglasses covered most of his face, but his unique charisma was impossible to conceal. Xia Yuan, dressed in a smart business suit, followed closely behind him.
"Young Master, President Jin and the others arrived five minutes ago and are in the 'Bamboo Pavilion' private room," Xia Yuan reported in a low voice.
"Okay, let's go. Don't keep Jin She waiting." Lin Yuan had a playful smile on his lips.
I wonder how that cabbage is doing? I'm so looking forward to it!
Led by the waiter, the two walked through a winding and quiet Japanese garden and arrived at the door of the private room.
I pushed open the door, and there were already two people sitting inside.
Seated in the main seat was Kim Min-young, the head of SM Entertainment, with a standard yet polite businessman's smile. Beside him sat a woman in a white chiffon blouse and a black pencil skirt—Bae Joo-hyun, nicknamed "Cabbage."
