Ye Ming smiled, his expression somewhat inscrutable as he said, "She is also a beautiful woman, with a great figure and a good personality. You spend every day together, yet you have no other thoughts, Wu Rong? She is the closest woman to you in this world, aside from your family. Don't you feel even the slightest ripple in your heart? You are... different towards her. Haven't you realized that yourself?"
Wu Rong's face darkened as he looked at Ye Ming with displeasure. "I'll say it again, I don't..."
Ye Ming immediately shrugged and replied, "Forget it, consider it my meddling! But one day, she will move away from here. Whether it's Long Yong or another man, someone will embrace her!"
Ye Ming's voice was low and seemed to penetrate the gaps in Wu Rong's mind like a wake-up call. However, seeing Wu Rong's unchanged expression made it seem as if his words had no effect. Ye Ming could only drive away in boredom.
But even after Ye Ming had left for a long time, Wu Rong remained rooted to the spot, motionless. A single question kept swirling in his mind: Would she... leave? Wasn't that what he had been anticipating?
Wu Rong returned home and looked at Rao Jie, who was busy tidying up. When did this figure in the living room become such a familiar sight for him?
As he watched, he couldn't help but recall what Ye Ming had just said... Was she beautiful? He rarely judged people by their looks, but Rao Jie did indeed have nice features.
Was her figure good? Although she wasn't tall, she had a delicate shape; her waist and legs were slim. He remembered how soft she felt when he hugged her... like cotton candy.
Her personality... was genuinely quite good. He had hardly ever met a girl who could get along with him for so long.
If only she could always be by his side...
Rao Jie turned around and saw Wu Rong standing at the door watching her. She immediately stopped what she was doing and asked in confusion, "Professor Wu, what's wrong?"
Wu Rong came back to his senses and suddenly felt guilty. How could he look at Rao Jie like that? How could he have such strange thoughts? It was all Ye Ming's fault!
"Cough, cough, it's nothing!"
Rao Jie seemed to want to avoid the topic and said, "I haven't finished that problem yet; I was just tidying up."
Wu Rong felt a bit flustered and didn't dare to look at Rao Jie anymore.
"That's it for today. Starting tomorrow, we'll dedicate every evening to reviewing math," Wu Rong said before turning away without waiting for Rao Jie to respond and headed toward his room.
If Rao Jie weren't celebrating her probationary period, she would have definitely noticed Wu Rong's steady yet slightly flustered footsteps and his flushed ears.
Back in his room, Wu Rong picked up his phone and sent a message cursing Ye Ming out. By the time Ye Ming returned to his place and saw the message, he wore a look of utter confusion.
However, he suddenly remembered that there was something he forgot to remind Wu Rong about. Ignoring the various sarcastic comments above, he began to reply.
Ye Ming: "By the way, I forgot to tell you that you must attend the celebration dinner. No backing out on me; this is about my reputation. If you don’t give me face, I’ll hang myself at your doorstep in the middle of the night!" He added a hanging emoji.
Upon seeing this, Wu Rong snorted coldly and replied, "Fine, I'll prepare some rope for you at the door so you won't need to bring any props when you come."
Wu Rong disliked occasions that required social niceties and flattery; he was a natural scholar. Ye Ming knew this well, but such situations were generally hard to avoid, so Wu Rong would usually go along with it to some extent. However, today Wu Rong was feeling particularly irritable and didn’t even want to pretend to comply.
