Huang Xiang's mood shifted quickly, and she immediately adopted a tone of earnest concern. It was unclear whether this was an attempt to compensate for the maternal affection she felt was lacking, but the way she expressed it was still hard for anyone to accept.
"You’re still young, you don’t understand. If you move in with your boyfriend now, the Wu Family parents will look down on you, thinking you’re a little girl without proper upbringing. At that point, we won’t be able to hold our heads high in front of them, do you understand? I don’t care about your young love; I just know that if things don’t work out between you two, what will happen to your reputation? I’m genuinely considering your future. If you want us to accept your boyfriend, you need to move back home right now!"
Rao Jie frowned. Regardless of Huang Xiang's intentions, she found herself resisting her mother’s words. So she turned to her father.
Rao Gang, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but agree with Huang Xiang’s viewpoint. He realized he hadn’t thought things through as thoroughly as Huang Xiang had.
He also urged, "Jie Jie, your mother is right about this. A daughter should maintain some modesty; only then will the other family take you seriously. Otherwise, they’ll think you’re just chasing after their son. Even if you marry in the future, they will still look down on you from the bottom of their hearts."
Rao Jie didn’t believe that Wu Rong’s family would think of her that way; after all, they weren’t strangers. However, for once, she felt that her parents’ concerns were genuinely from her perspective.
Her initial resentment began to ease slightly.
"They won’t think that way. My relationship with Wu Rong isn’t… that simple." Rao Jie struggled to explain.
Huang Xiang interjected, "Isn’t it just young love? Rao Jie, let’s not talk about the past; let’s focus on this matter. Unless you two officially get married, you cannot live together. That’s not negotiable—absolutely not."
Rao Gang stood firmly with Huang Xiang on this issue. "Jie Jie, although your mother can be extreme at times, this is genuinely for your own good. Explain to your boyfriend that we’re not against your relationship; we just need to set some boundaries. You can date him, but living together is out of the question."
"But Dad, we—"
Rao Gang waved his hand dismissively. "Jie Jie, on this matter, you really need to listen to your parents. We won’t harm you. You could stay at school if necessary; we’re not against your relationship—just living together is absolutely out of the question."
Huang Xiang became anxious upon hearing this. "What do you mean staying at school? That costs money! You must stay at home, Rao Jie! Did you hear me? You have to live at home."
Because Huang Xiang had hurt her feelings before, if it were only Huang Xiang insisting on this rule, Rao Jie might not have listened. However, since it was her father speaking up as well, Rao Jie felt compelled to comply. If she resisted too much, it would undoubtedly lead to endless arguments and possibly drag Wu Rong into the fray. Given Wu Rong's temperament, Rao Jie could already envision a chaotic scene unfolding.
After hesitating for a moment, Rao Jie considered that if she only returned home at night to sleep, it wouldn’t have much impact. After all, she spent most of her time at the Wu Family sleeping alone anyway—something she had fought hard for.
Moreover, Rao Jie viewed this as a temporary measure since her future was still uncertain; where she would live and study later wasn’t set in stone either. Returning home was merely a temporary decision made to avoid conflict.
With these thoughts in mind, she finally nodded and said, "I understand."
