CHAPTER 441

~In City S~

Bai Renxiang was seated amongst her friends as she held two invitation cards in her hands. The cream-coloured card had gold designs on it and the letterings were gold too.

She stared at the names of the people being invited. One was her father and his family. The other was her ex and his family. They had given her the card to make the choices since everything boils down to her.

"So what are you going to do them?" Ning Xiaozhi asked.

Li Fengjin and the others just watched as they were ready to support her in whatever decision she would make.

Bai Renxiang shook her head and sighed. "I don't know," she said in a low voice.

She had thought that deciding on this would be easy and that was why she had not given it many thoughts. But now, it seems harder than she thought.

"One part of me... a very small part wants me to invite them. But the other bigger part does not."

"You know it is your call, right? And you need to decide today," Ning Xiaozhi said.

"Yeah. The quicker the better. You can toss them out of your mind after you have made a decision that satisfies you," Li Fengjin agreed.

"I know. But... I don't know what to decide. I should think more about it. Please, excuse me," Bai Renxiang stood up and walked out of the living room.

They all watched as she left with an unsteady expression. All eyes then turned to Li Fengjin as if saying, 'go with her. Li Fengjin understood their stares and immediately followed Bai Renxiang.

After a while of silence, Yang Wenkai finally breaks it and asked. "I'm sorry but may I know the reason it is so hard for her to decide?"

"I only know a little of that. One of those cards is for her father and the other for her... ex?" Ye Chaoxiang answered.

But he, himself was not sure. So they turned to Bai Renxiang's best friend for answers. Ning Xiaozhi sighs.

"I don't know if I should be the one telling you guys this, but... (exhales sharply) Bai Renxiang only came here to escape from the bad situation at City X," she said.

"So..." Ye Yumi dragged the word.

"In that situation, her father and her ex abandoned her or rather did not believe her and threw her out of their lives."

"Oh!" Yang Wenkai nodded in understanding. The picture had become clearer now.

"Yeah. So that is why it is hard to decide. But... But if I were in her shoes... I'm talking in my opinion, okay? I would have invited them and made them all regret pushing me aside," Ning Xiaozhi said with a shrug.

"Yes. And I will make see to show off my new great life and man to my ex," Yi Changying seconded the decision of Ning Xiaozhi.

"Women are to be feared," Yang Chen shook his head at his scheming girlfriend and Ning Xiaozhi.

"They should," Ye Chaoxiang agreed.

"But it will be hard for her too," Ye Yumi suddenly said.

Attention shifted to her.

"I'm just saying though. I'm not talking about the ex-part. I will definitely make sure my ex regrets if I were in her shoes. But, I'm talking about her father," she quickly defended.

"What about her father? He cut her off like she was some vine full of thorns on a healthy tree," Ning Xiaozhi scoffed.

"He did. But he will also be coming with her steps according to her, right?" Ye Yumi asked.

"I get your point. But it has been so many years and she must have gotten over it with all of us, friends and families around. Especially, with uncle Li," Ning Xiaozhi said.

"Sigh... Let's just wait for her decision and whatever it is, we should plan on how we can support her in it," Yi Changying spoke.

"Okay... Why don't we talk about the bac bachelor and bachelorette party we will be holding for the winter couple?" Ye Yumi rubbed her palms in excitement.

"I almost forgot about that," Yang Chen lightly smacked his forehead.

"Ah! I can finally get to attend a bachelorette party. I'm so excited," Ye Yumi exclaimed.

"So what are we going to do tomorrow night?"

••••

As they all talked about the party that would be held on the night before the wedding day, which is tomorrow, Bai Renxiang sat on one of the long chairs in the garden.

​ She sighed as she laid down and placed her hand over her face. She wants to make the decision but she does not know how it will affect her in the future.

"I should not invite them," she murmured. "Maybe I should."

Just then Li Fengjin also stalled in the garden and walked to where she lay. He sighs seeing her like this.

"Hey."

"Hi," Bai Renxiang looks up to the owner of that soothing voice- one that she was very familiar with.

"Can I join you?" He asked.

"Hmm," she nodded as she attempted to sit up.

"Don't move," Li Fengjin quickly stopped her.

Before Bai Renxiang could after a word of questioning, she felt his palm under her head. He lifted her a little and sat down before placing had a head on his lap.

Bai Renxiang shifted into a more comfortable position on his lap and closed her eyes. She slowly inhaled his strong yet sweet masculine scent. Li Fengjin's hands did not remain idle.

One moved to hold on to her hands while the other played with her hair and sometimes moved in to massage her scalp.

They remained in silence for a long time until Bai Renxiang spoke.

"Would you be okay if I invited Fu Bolin to our wedding?"

Li Fengjin's hand on her scalp stopped for a few passing seconds before it resumes its work.

"I don't particularly care if you invite him to our wedding," came his reply.
