Chapter 509: Why
Pulling open the curtains, Lee Jae-min walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and the diamond ring in his hand reflected the dazzling sunlight shining in.
This is the Bay Hotel, located next to Singapore's oldest Mount Faber Park, and overlooks a lush rainforest.
“…… Come back tomorrow and remember to call me in advance. ”
In the mobile phone, a sweet and pleasant voice came out again, Li Zaimin put away his wandering thoughts, coughed lightly twice, and replied in a relaxed tone, "Okay, I know." As soon as I book a ticket, I will tell you and Yun'er immediately, okay! ”
The sweet female voice on the other side asked hesitantly, "Are you sick?" ”
"No, maybe I didn't sleep well last night, I had a little cold, I'm fine." Lee Jae-min turned to look at the clock on the bedside table, and he continued, "When it's time, I'm going out!" ”
"Okay, there, you pay more attention to your body alone." The female voice said tightly, paused, and whispered, "Oppa, if you change the time back, call me too." ”
Hanging up the phone, the smile on Li Zaimin's face gradually receded, looked at the formal clothes just sent by the waiter on the bed, thinking about the call with Li Yunting last night, and tightly clenched the ring in his hand.
Singapore is a tropical country, and it is almost summer all year round, so you don't feel the cold of winter at all. Lee Jae-min walked out of the hotel in formal clothes, it was almost evening, but the temperature was still a little high, he wanted to loosen his bow tie, but thinking of the next occasion he was going to, he put his hand down again.
Two short car honks, Lee Jae-min followed and turned around, and saw a sports car that attracted the attention of all passers-by parked beside him. Immediately, the car door opened up, and sitting in the driver's seat was a tall and thin middle-aged man, who raised his hand to him.
"Lee Jae-min, huh." When Li Zaimin got in the car, in the envious eyes of everyone outside the hotel, the middle-aged man drove the car out, "I was on the phone yesterday, I am Zhiyuan's uncle, you can call me Mr. Li." ”
"Hello." Lee Jae-min stopped addressing his elders, and when the other party said this, he showed his attitude, and he smiled meaninglessly, looking at the street scene that was constantly sweeping ahead.
When the car stopped at a red light, Li Yunting mentioned casually, "By the way, last month, Zhiyuan celebrated his birthday in the UK." ”
Lee Jae-min couldn't help but clench the ring in his pocket. This, I wanted to wait for her birthday, but before that, she left quietly.
"You don't know, Zhiyuan loves racing very much, and when he was in college, he even participated in campus races. Two years ago, she became obsessed with sports cars again, and there are still two parked in the garage of her home. ”
Lee Jae-min shook his head slightly, the two have been dating for a few months, and I saw that she occasionally watched a few racing shows, and as for sports car-related topics, she basically never talked about them.
The red light jumped to a green light, Li Yunting started the car, and when he turned, he patted the steering wheel, "This is Grandpa Zhiyuan's birthday gift to her this year." Bugatti Veyron, a limited edition of only 35 units worldwide, will take more than nine months to pick up the car after placing an order. The price is about the same as those in the garage, hmm~ If converted into Korean won, it will be about 8 billion won, but this car should be easier to drive. ”
Turning his face calmly, Lee Jae-min did not answer.
Li Yunting glanced back, revealing a look of surprise, and then he laughed self-deprecatingly, "I have never had such an expensive birthday gift." Brought back for so many days, Zhiyuan has not opened, this time I came to Singapore to hold an engagement reception for her and Lin Yinan, by the way, I came by air, I will open for a few days. ”
Lee Jae-min really wanted to tell Lee Yun-ting that there was no need for these superfluous performances. This time I came to Singapore, not to question her or seek any answers, but to fulfill my previous promise. However, when he heard Li Yunting mention the piercing "engagement", he unconsciously clenched his palms, turned his head, and continued to look out the car window.
"You're coming to Singapore for the first time?" Li Yunting raised his hand and pressed it on the front car board, and the roof slowly and automatically retracted, the field of vision was wide, and the street scenes on both sides became clear. He pointed to several famous scenic spots he passed by, and said loudly, "If you have time, stay here for a while, and then I will send someone to show you around." ”
"Thanks, no, I booked a return ticket for tomorrow."
Li Yunting picked up the sunglasses in front of the car and hid the sneer in his eyes, "I'll go back tomorrow, that's really ...... Pity! ”
The large ship-shaped main building, towering at the southern tip of Singapore, offers panoramic views of the South China Sea, which is one of the reasons why Shangri-La's Sentosa Hotel, is a landmark hotel.
As soon as the car stopped, a short and fat woman in a green dress walked up, and saw her complaining to Li Yunting, who got out of the car, "Why did you come back, the drinking party has begun." ”
Li Yunting threw the car keys to the waiter who parked in the hotel, and echoed unconcernedly, "What's the hurry, these are foreign guests." ”
"Then here, you take care of it. I'm going to talk to my cousin, and I'll go to my parents' with her later. The woman in the green dress glanced at Lee Jaemin, raised her eyebrows at Li Yunting, and then turned around and walked towards the hall.
Accompanied by the waiter, the two walked to the venue of the cocktail party, according to Li Yunting's "smooth mouth", this five-star hotel is the property of the Lin family, hanging in the name of Lin Yinan, and the two chose to hold the cocktail party here, which has special significance.
Outside the venue, a woman in professional clothes with short red hair passed by, Li Yunting hurriedly called out to stop her, turned her head to look at Li Zaimin, and then turned around and asked, "Zhiyuan really has time to wait, there is a friend who wants to meet her, as I said before." ”
"Miss said that she didn't want to see any outsiders, and after the drinking party, she would fly back to England with her grandfather and grandmother." The red-haired woman frowned slightly, and after speaking, she glanced at Li Zaimin, who was standing behind Li Yunting, and she turned around and walked away with a cold face.
"You see, no one wants to see Zhiyuan, and it's useless for me to say it." Li Yunting took off his sunglasses and led Lee Jaemin to the venue.
The luxuriously furnished spacious venue, with guests bustling around, centered on the T-shaped platform in the distance, or sitting as a stand, chatting and laughing in groups of three or five.
Seeing Li Yunting come in, the guests looked sideways, and many people greeted each other and gathered around. Li Yunting shrugged his shoulders to Li Zaimin, who was squeezed to the periphery, and then stretched out his hand to beckon, a man and a woman walked in the distance, like hotel staff, but they were wearing formal clothes for a cocktail party, and the two led him to sit at a round table in the corner.
A light blue cocktail sent by the waiter was placed in front of him, Li Zaimin sat quietly, the noise around him had nothing to do with him, Li Yunting deliberately arranged and showed off, and he didn't care at all.
The noise suddenly fell silent, and Lee Jae-min raised his head, but saw that the guests sitting down in the venue stood up with their hands clapping. He sat there, and through the shaking gap of the crowd, he saw a handsome woman walking at the end of the high platform, her long hair was gently pulled into a bun at the back of her head, and she was wearing a long white waist-cinching dress, looking weak and thin.
There was no sound in his ears, and his fluctuating mind finally calmed down. The surrounding guests, as well as the man walking beside her on the stage, are like a discrete and blurred background under the camera, and it is clear that there is only one her. After a long period of persistent searching, there is nothing else to ask for, I just want to confirm whether she is okay.
Her face was a little clearer, and I still remember that when we started dating, I joked that she had a little baby fat on her face, and for several days, she only ate half of her usual meals......
The past is like flowing water, flowing from the bottom of my heart. Fragments of memories kept flashing in front of her eyes, and her past figure in her memory slowly overlapped with the woman on the high platform.
The music started and stopped, and stopped and sounded. On the high platform, the man took two glasses of red wine and handed one to her, and the guests raised their glasses one after another.
The loud greetings sometimes rang in the ears, and sometimes there was no sound in silence.
Lee Jae-min stood up and smiled at the familiar and unfamiliar figure on the stage from afar, as before. I still remember the scene of her standing outside the window looking at the diamond ring advertising poster, and I still remember the joy that she felt after buying it and thinking about her birthday.
Taking out the ring from his pocket and carefully placing it on the table, Lee Jae-min looked down, his eyes hazy and the corners of his mouth raised, as if he had seen the funniest joke.
The moment he turned around, his consciousness became blurred, vaguely remembering that it was the waiter who helped call a taxi to take him back to the hotel, and vaguely remembering that he only texted Jessica and Yuna before getting on the plane.
When I got off the plane in Seoul, the world was white and the sky was still full of snowflakes, which made the trip to Singapore no longer real.
In a trance, he took the car home, and when he was about to arrive at the rental house, he saw the figures of Jessica and Yuna in the distance, and then it was dark in front of him......
It's like a long dream, and it's like sleeping for a long, long time.
When Lee Jaemin opened his eyes, the pain in his body immediately came, and he was stunned to find that his arms were lying on the hospital bed with bandages, still inhaling oxygen, and the surroundings were full of nurses.
When I got off the plane, I really didn't feel anything, and when I got off the rental car, I felt a little dizzy, and I felt that it was very hot, so I thought it might be a fever caused by a cold, and when I returned to my place, I fell to the ground. But even if that's the case, there's no reason to fall like this.
Lee Jaemin pulled down the oxygen cover, looked at the bandages on his body a little inexplicable, and just sat up weakly, he saw Yuna and Jessica lying on the side of the bed crying, Jessica's eyes were about to swell into a slit.
It's just a fever, crying like this, which makes Lee Jae-min himself startled, and was comforting the two of them when he saw someone coming in the ward again.
With some haggard faces, conspicuous royal blue earrings, looking at this strange woman who walked straight, his eyebrows jumped, he hadn't seen it, could it be Yun'er's new assistant?
The next moment, another petite figure burst into view. It turned out to be Taeyeon, but why did she look at herself like this, why did she show such a sad and panicked expression, and why did she cry so much......
Lee Jae-min raised his hand weakly, pressed his inexplicably stinging heart, looked at Taeyeon who was approaching step by step, and his thoughts suddenly became confused. The memory is clear and clear, but it is like an illusory bubble piled up, and behind that bubble, it seems that there is something else.
Closing his eyes tightly, his head seemed to have thousands of needles piercing at the same time, and a sharp stinging pain made him fall back into the hospital bed with a miserable grunt.
