As long as she calmed down and analyzed the situation carefully, it became clear to her. The fundamental reason she wanted to return home was to mend her family relationships. No matter how much grievance she had suffered, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart. The longing for familial affection drove her to make such a decision unconsciously.
Although he didn’t fully understand, he grasped this principle. Regardless of what one pursued—be it career or love—the sense of recognition from close family members was far more important than any congratulatory remarks from others.
The conflict between Rao Jie and her family was neither trivial nor monumental. The preference for sons over daughters was not uncommon; it often lurked unnoticed within families. For many years, Rao Jie had lived with this reality. However, once the surface was peeled away, the underlying ugliness emerged, revealing a frightening truth. The most evident instance was when her parents pressured her into blind dates.
To Rao Jie, the deterioration of her relationship with her parents began at that very moment. Almost all subsequent conflicts revolved around that issue. Aside from this matter, their household was just an ordinary family in a big courtyard.
Thus, Rao Jie held onto hope, wishing to restore things to their original state. This hope influenced her decisions, causing her to lean toward one side.
Wu Rong understood that such matters could not be easily resolved; he could only let Rao Jie proceed at her own pace. Although this sacrificed their precious time together, after coming to terms with it, Wu Rong found himself unable to continue opposing her choice.
That night, as if venting his anger, Wu Rong held Rao Jie tightly in his arms for the entire evening without restraint. The next morning, he personally drove her back home.
“Hey, what’s up today? You look like you’ve seen a ghost; your students are probably terrified,” Ye Ming complained as he entered Wu Rong's office.
Wu Rong glanced up at Ye Ming.
Ye Ming jumped back in surprise and asked, “What’s wrong? Frustrated? Did you have a fight with Rao Jie?”
Wu Rong gritted his teeth and replied, “Rao Jie moved back home.”
Ye Ming exclaimed in surprise, “Did she resolve the conflict with her family?”
Wu Rong replied impatiently, “She’s already dating me; how could her family still pressure her into blind dates?”
Ye Ming looked puzzled and said, “Isn’t that a good thing? Why are you so… oh, I get it! It’s because you’re separated now!”
Wu Rong threw a book at him in response. Ye Ming quickly caught it and laughed, saying, “That’s normal; after all, her parents are right there. How could they just watch their daughter cohabitate with someone before marriage?”
Wu Rong couldn't refute anything and could only sulk in silence. Just as he was feeling a bit agitated, he received a message from Rao Jie.
Rao Jie: "Have you had lunch yet? I'm still at the store and will head to school later. Are you at school or at home?"
Wu Rong's mood improved slightly as he curled his lips and focused on replying. Ye Ming, watching Wu Rong's dazed expression, could only shake his head with a smile before getting up to leave.
During lunchtime, Rao Jie took the opportunity to remind him of some things. It seemed she was a hundred times more worried about Wu Rong living independently without her.
Rao Jie never expected that after their separation, she would be the one who felt most out of place. It seemed she had truly been affected by Wu Rong.
Wu Rong replied: "If you're so worried about me, why don't you come back to my side?"
Rao Jie could imagine Wu Rong's sulking expression just from reading the message. "I will come back."
Wu Rong pressed on: "When?"
"I've already started looking into West Point Academy. I might go study after my thesis is ready, or maybe I'll wait until I graduate completely. But I still need to find a time to talk to my parents about it."
