"No! How can a country girl like her sit at the head table?"
Gu Mingfeng objected strongly and said stubbornly, "That day is Uncle Bai's good day. What if she says something she shouldn't? Besides, she's jealous of you. If you invite her over, she won't be happy with you."
Bai Ruoxi thought what he said made sense, but she didn't change her mind.
"It's precisely because she misunderstood me that I wanted to invite her here. As long as we interact more, she'll realize that not everyone is suited to living in the county town, and it's very difficult to gain a foothold here...
She embarrassed me last time at the First Municipal Hospital. Ultimately, it was just because she felt inferior and envied me for having so many close friends with my classmates. That's why she reacted so strongly after the medical examination."
"Examination of injuries? Examination of what injuries?" Gu Mingfeng was a little surprised. "By the way, I still don't know why you went to the hospital that time."
Bai Ruoxi almost let it slip, "No, we just happened to run into each other at the gate of the First Municipal Hospital and had a brief argument. Brother Mingfeng, who else should I invite besides relatives and friends? This is my father's first birthday party since he took office as director, and there can't be any mistakes."
Gu Mingfeng had no time to think about this. His mind was in a mess.
"Let me think about it. I don't have any idea at the moment."
"Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen and make you something to eat. You just stay here and think about it slowly." Bai Ruoxi stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face. A shy smile suddenly appeared on her face, like a girl who had just fallen in love, and she looked away embarrassedly.
Gu Mingfeng felt the soft touch on his cheek and his mind instantly became distracted.
But now there is a big problem in front of him. He really has no desire to be intimate with Ruoxi.
"Why don't you just make me a bowl of noodles? I... I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach today and don't have much appetite."
Bai Ruoxi's expression immediately became tense.
"Did you eat something unclean? Look at you, you're so old and still can't take care of yourself. I reminded you last time not to eat anything too cold. Don't eat popsicles these days, or you'll make me worry."
In the past, at such times, Gu Mingfeng would definitely hold her in his arms, touch her all over, and take advantage of her.
But when he thought that Director Bai’s birthday party might become a Shura field, he lost interest.
After expressing her concern, Bai Ruoxi went into the kitchen and started busying herself.
Gu Mingfeng paced around the room in frustration. He could not think of a reason to ask Director Bai to cancel the birthday party, nor could he think of a way to block the news. For a moment, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, regretting it deeply.
It’s all Jiang Mingxin’s fault, he’s so good at misleading people!
But she didn't reflect on why he still kept her photo in his wallet after so long since they broke up.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingfeng quickly found a photo album, pulled out a photo of Bai Ruoxi and stuffed it into his wallet. He wanted to throw away the photo of Jiang Mingxin, but when he saw her bright and beautiful face, he felt reluctant to do so.
After hesitating for a while, he covered Jiang Mingxin's photo with Bai Ruoxi's photo.
Now that everything is fair, Gu Mingfeng feels much more comfortable.
But this didn't solve the problem. After thinking about it, he called Gu Wei's home.
"You mean next Sunday? I don't have anything to do. I've been bored at home lately. Do you want to ask Bai Mingxin out on a date? I'll tell you a good place. There's a new dance hall in the city. You can take her to dance disco... Hug her waist, lean her head against her. Oh my god, you're so lucky!"
Gu Mingfeng frowned, not smiling at all: "Next Sunday, she and I are both busy, why don't you go dance by yourself?"
Gu Wei felt strange, "So you guys didn't come to ask me for advice? If you guys don't go, why should I go?"
"I..." Gu Mingfeng was speechless.
He knew that it was impossible to keep Director Bai's birthday party a secret, so he simply made it clear and got to know Gu Wei's movements in advance.
"Director Bai is having a birthday party. I wanted to ask if you don't have time, then..."
"I have time, of course I have time! How could I not have time for such an important matter?"
Gu Wei excitedly threw down his liberation cap and said, "Your future father-in-law is having a birthday party, so you have to do it yourself and make it grand! I'll tell my parents, my aunt, and my uncle right away. Don't worry, we'll all be there!"
"Wait, I'm not..."
Gu Wei was in a hurry to inform his relatives and hung up the phone directly.
Gu Mingfeng suddenly felt like crying but had no tears left, and slapped himself.
"Brother Mingfeng, why are you hitting yourself? Did something happen? If there's anything wrong, don't keep it to yourself. You can tell me and I will face it together with you." Bai Ruoxi caressed his face with heartache, "Does it hurt?"
Gu Mingfeng was extremely annoyed and couldn't help but mutter, "It's you who insisted on having a birthday party. You're just looking for trouble."
Bai Ruoxi didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
"Nothing. Are the noodles ready? I'm going to eat some noodles." This was the first time that Gu Mingfeng was so impatient with Bai Ruoxi. But she refused to leave. She wanted to clean his room and organize his bookshelf.
"Don't you have your own things to do? Did I ask you to do this?"
Bai Ruoxi blinked innocently, her big eyes filled with confusion.
"Brother Mingfeng, what's wrong with you? Auntie taught me to do these things. She said that if I want to be a qualified wife, I must learn to do these things. Why are you still not happy?"
Gu Mingfeng curled his lips helplessly, "Okay, then you continue to do it."
Just then, Gu Wei called again.
