Chapter 50: Three Encounters
Gu Junming only regarded this as a task and agreed to it.
The leader added, "Oh, right, do you remember Doctor Bai? She’s also coming. This time, she’s coming with the arts troupe. Since you’re injured from carrying out the task, she can take a look at you."
"My injury is fine. I just remembered that I need to go to a nearby village to draw some maps tomorrow, so I can’t go. I think you should assign this task to someone else." Gu Junming knew very well why Bai Fanglan was coming. He would not give any opportunity for a private meeting, nor let rumors bind him to her again. If this kept going on endlessly, the organization might make him submit a love report for Bai Fanglan’s reputation.
Binding himself to her through gossip? Gu Junming’s opinion of Bai Fanglan was getting worse.
The leader knew his temperament and had to let it go: "You’re really something. Fine, hurry back then."
"Yes!" Gu Junming saluted and left.
Meanwhile, Bai Fanglan was packing her luggage downstairs. Since it was a social gathering, she prepared a few pretty dresses. She compared the clothes against her body, imagining the surprised expression Gu Junming would have upon seeing her, which made her feel secretly smug.
Since the last time she was rejected, Bai Fanglan kept asking around for news about him. This time, upon hearing about the gathering, she planned to attend and captivate him with her charm.
But thinking about meeting people from the health retreat, she couldn’t help but remember the frustration from when she complained to Mr. Yan and failed, which soured her mood. She forcefully tossed the dresses into the suitcase. Damn Sun Chan; if not for her slander, Mr. Yan wouldn’t despise her!
The door opened and Bai Chuan strode in. Seeing Bai Fanglan busy with clothes, he said, "Already packing summer clothes?"
Bai Fanglan quickly held up a dress, smiling: "No, I’m going out. Grandpa, how does this dress look?"
