Wu Rong raised an eyebrow and said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to come with me; I’ve already proposed a separation plan. You can choose for yourself.”
The separation plan was simply to get a marriage certificate. How domineering.
However, Rao Jie found herself helpless against such dominance, leading her to question her own feelings. What surprised her even more was that Wu Rong's teacher actually agreed and no longer insisted that Wu Rong return. It seemed the teacher had come to terms with the situation.
What Rao Jie didn’t know was that when Wu Rong wanted to leave, the teacher had tried to stop him. Wu Rong had directly told the teacher, “If I don’t hurry back, my wife will run away, and I’ll be left alone for the rest of my life. Do you want me to remain here doing research while being lonely forever? You already have a wife and children; I’m all alone!”
The teacher wanted to refute him but found it hard to argue against such a point. “Is your little girlfriend really that irreplaceable? Won’t this affect your future research?”
Wu Rong replied firmly, “It’s not just my little girlfriend; she’s my fiancée. If she’s not here, I can’t focus on my research. When she’s around, I can settle down.”
In the end, Wu Rong promised that if Rao Jie was willing to go with him to England, he would return. But if she didn’t want to go, he might not come back at all. Even if he returned alone, he wouldn’t be able to concentrate on his research.
The teacher understood Wu Rong's nature very well—stubborn and obsessively determined. Once he made up his mind, it wouldn’t change. With no other options left, the teacher could only let Wu Rong leave.
As the new semester began, Wu Rong continued teaching while also conducting research; overall, he was quite busy.
Rao Jie spent most of her time working in the dessert shop aside from struggling with her thesis. The pastry chef was more than willing to teach Rao Jie about making pastries since she had previously learned everything on her own without any formal training. She took the lessons seriously and integrated the new knowledge into her skills.
With the manager's approval, Rao Jie began experimenting by adding creative touches to her desserts. After being tasted by the manager and the pastry chef, these creations were put up for sale. Whenever customers were willing to try the new desserts, Rao Jie would nervously crouch behind the counter to observe their reactions.
Seeing customers finish their desserts with happy expressions made Rao Jie feel like she was on cloud nine. The girls loved taking pictures of the cute desserts, so Rao Jie’s creations sold exceptionally well. Compared to the older pastry chef, Rao Jie’s youthful spirit infused into her desserts made them even more appealing to young girls.
Gradually, the new products created by Rao Jie sold out quickly. The people in the shop praised her to the skies for this achievement. However, Rao Jie knew very well that the high sales were largely due to appearances; sometimes, those girls didn't actually find the treats delicious.
New ideas required various proportions of experimentation. Different attempts would yield different results, and only when all aspects were appropriately balanced could one truly appreciate the flavors. Rao Jie had meticulously recorded all of this in a notebook, earning her the admiration of those around her for her dedication—truly a top student!
The Pastry Chefs expressed envy over Rao Jie’s talent in this area and continually encouraged her to attend a better school for specialized studies. Her life had become enriched by the time spent in the Cake Shop. The happiness she once felt from making pastries was now multiplied by her diligent learning and experimentation. It felt as if invisible wings had sprouted from her back, making her feel light and joyful.
