MC Bookstore Chapter 80 Engagement
Chapter 80 Engagement
Lee Ji-eun locked herself in her room, buried her head between her legs, and leaned against the bed. 'Qi-qi' seemed to sense her sadness and ran over to lick her calf.
"Awoo~", the cry was low and deep.
Lee Ji-eun looked up, reached out and ruffled Qi Qi's hair, "Are you sad for me too?"
She picked Qiqi up and placed her on her lap, saying, "Mommy and Daddy broke up." She looked down at Qiqi, "Little one, do you think Daddy is very sad right now?"
"Awoo~"
Qiqi licked away the tears on Lee Ji-eun's face, and then the two of them stayed there quietly.
Upon receiving the message, Huang Lizhi rushed home immediately.
As soon as I opened the door, a delicious aroma wafted out.
There was a meal prepared on the table, and Lee Ji-eun carefully carried out a bowl of soup.
Seeing Huang Lizhi standing at the door, she smiled and said, "You're back! Come wash your hands and eat."
Huang Lizhi looked at her back with some confusion, then took out his phone to check.
It's definitely Oppa's information, is Unnie teasing Oppa?
Well, it's good that Unnie is alright.
Huang Lizhi changed his shoes and walked quickly to the dining table.
The dishes on the table were plentiful, all of which were her and "Oppa's" favorite dishes, but the warm atmosphere made the mood seem a little awkward.
"Unnie, why did you prepare such a lavish meal today?" Hwang Yeji asked tentatively while washing his hands, subtly observing Lee Ji-eun's expression.
Lee Ji-eun paused slightly while serving the soup, then turned around, her face still bearing a gentle smile, though the bloodshot in her eyes was undeniable.
"Knowing you've been practicing hard lately, and since I had some free time today, I made a few extra dishes. Please sit down and have a taste."
Sitting down at the table, Hwang Ye-ji looked at Lee Ji-eun, who was engrossed in eating and constantly piling food into her bowl, and his doubts deepened.
The message on my phone from my oppa, "I broke up with Ji-eun, go keep her company," didn't seem like a prank.
"Unnie..." Hwang Yeji put down her chopsticks and called out softly.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?" Lee Ji-eun looked up, her eyes full of concern.
"Did you and Oppa... have a fight?" Hwang Yeji finally couldn't help but ask cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun's smile finally faltered.
She slowly put down her rice bowl, her long eyelashes drooping down, obscuring the emotions in her eyes.
Qiqi, who was playing around with Baba, also came over sensibly, rested her little head on the instep of Li Zhi'en, and let out a low whimper.
A brief silence fell over the room.
After a long while, Lee Ji-eun gave a self-deprecating laugh and said softly, "He even told you this... We didn't argue. We just broke up peacefully."
"Why?" Huang Lizhi asked anxiously. In her memory, the two of them were clearly so in love. "Everything was fine before, is there some misunderstanding?"
Lee Ji-eun shook her head, her chopsticks poking aimlessly in her bowl. "There's no misunderstanding, Ye-ji. It's just that we've realized our futures are heading in different directions, which makes it even more painful."
Rather than harboring resentment, this peaceful separation is perhaps the best way to end this relationship.
She took a deep breath, looked up, and forced a smile at Huang Lizhi, her eyes reddening slightly. "I'm fine, really. I made this meal today to keep myself occupied and prevent myself from getting caught up in my emotions."
She gently tapped Huang Lizhi's forehead and said, "These are not things you should worry about. Eat your food."
Looking at Lee Ji-eun, who was clearly very sad but was still trying to be strong, Hwang Ye-ji felt a sudden pang of sadness.
She walked around the dining table, went to Lee Ji-eun's side, and hugged her tightly.
"Unnie, if you want to cry, just cry. You don't have to pretend to be so strong in front of me."
Feeling the warmth of her embrace, Lee Ji-eun's tightly wound defenses finally crumbled, and tears streamed silently down her cheeks.
She hugged Huang Lizhi back and buried her head in the crook of her shoulder.
The Lin Family Manor.
Lin Yuan went to his father's study and sat quietly opposite him without saying a word.
Lin Tian put down the phone and sighed softly.
"Xiaoyuan, blame me if you must. Your brother and sister-in-law don't know anything about this." She shook her phone, adding, "Look, your brother just had a fight with me and is yelling that he's coming back to settle the score!"
He sighed, "Alas, you are all my good children. It is I who have not done a good job as your father."
Lin Yuan remained sitting there quietly, like a stone, showing no emotion.
After a long while, he looked intently at Lin Tian and said, "Dad, I want to intern at the company."
After thinking for a long time, Lin Tian finally nodded in agreement.
On June 1st, a day filled with childlike fun and joy, the six-star Bulgari Hotel in Shanghai...
The ceiling of the banquet hall is made of tens of thousands of Swarovski crystal hand-painted pendants, which refract dazzling light under the lights.
The venue setup abandoned the festive style of traditional weddings and adopted the style that Matsui Mieko loves most, with white Ecuadorian roses and extremely rare green tulips covering the entire entrance aisle.
Congratulations to Mr. Lin Yuan, the second son of the Hong Sheng Group, and Ms. Matsui Mieko, the eldest daughter of Sony, on their marriage!
Countless media outlets from home and abroad practically crammed the hotel entrance, with flashes and film rolls going off like they were free, constantly flashing and taking pictures.
Lin Yuan wore a custom-made black suit with a platinum brooch symbolizing the Matsui family crest pinned to his collar.
His expression was calm, and his eyes revealed no emotion.
Standing beside him was Mieko Matsui, who wore a pure white satin gown handcrafted by a Parisian haute couture designer. The rhinestones adorning the skirt sparkled with each step she took.
She linked arms with Lin Yuan, a smile on her face.
Lin Tian and his wife looked at the two people on the stage with satisfaction, with President Matsui, who had arrived early in the morning, beside them.
Meanwhile, Loen in Seoul also issued a statement:
We regret to inform you that, after communicating with the artists, the duo LuMin, consisting of artists Lin Yuan and IU, has officially disbanded today, June 1st.
Also, congratulations to Lin Yuan, the second son of the Hong Sheng Group, and Ms. Matsui Mieko, the eldest daughter of Sony, on their engagement!
"Wow, Lin Yuan oppa is actually the son of a chaebol family?"
"Mom, I've made it big! Even tycoons are performing for me, singing and rapping."
"Onces, go for it! Oppa's hotel, here we come!"
As a result, Hongsheng's hotels experienced a surge in bookings.
At the same time, Bae Suzy, Park Chorong, Kang Hye-won, Hwang Ye-ji, and other people closely associated with Lim Won also learned of this news.
In an instant, Lin Yuan's phone received countless messages.
He selectively replied to some people, and thus, the LuMin duo, which lasted less than two months, parted ways.
