It was merely the intentions of her parents; they truly had no way to refuse.
"What about the wedding? We previously mentioned that we wouldn't mind how you handle this matter, but if Rao Jie wants to have one, perhaps inviting friends and classmates, then when you go abroad, you won't be back often. It's important for those around to know that Rao Jie is marrying well and will be happy in the future. While we are still here, if you want to organize something, we will help you," Father Wu said again.
Rao Jie didn’t think much of it. After all, her marriage to Wu Rong had been rushed. Although everyone around them knew, it was a result of her parents' quarrels, which honestly made it a bit awkward.
A wedding naturally required inviting relatives and friends from both families; this was the most important part. However, for Rao Jie, it was currently the hardest aspect to realize.
But the Wu family was eager to give Rao Jie a proper send-off. They felt she was too obedient and didn’t fight for herself, so they decided to consider her feelings and suggested inviting friends instead of parents. After all, friends were her social circle; they couldn't let Rao Jie fall short in that regard.
Rao Jie understood the Wu family's good intentions on her behalf, but to be honest, she wasn’t very concerned about it. Perhaps everything was progressing too quickly; her imagination had jumped from the dating phase straight to married life without having time to fantasize about what lay in between.
She glanced at Wu Rong and saw him wearing a face as if he had swallowed a fly.
In an instant, Rao Jie realized that for Wu Rong, the so-called wedding—especially one in their home country—might feel like a large entertainment event where he was the main attraction. For him, it would be akin to hellish torment.
The most romantic thing Wu Rong had done for Rao Jie so far was their wedding night, which had been strictly private—just him carrying her into the room while Ye Ming recorded it with a camera he had set up beforehand; otherwise, there would have been no footage left at all.
The previous class reunion had been similar; Wu Rong wasn’t good at such occasions and hated participating in them. If it weren’t absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t have done it.
But this time it was a wedding, and the bride was Rao Jie. Wu Rong couldn’t outright refuse; he wanted to give her the best and thus had to endure it.
Rao Jie knew this wasn’t Wu Rong disrespecting her or being too lazy to care; it was just who he was—someone who simply didn’t enjoy such things.
So if she loved him, why should she force him into something he disliked?
Rao Jie wasn’t the type of person who insisted on maintaining appearances; after all, what she had experienced recently had already stripped away any pretense of face-saving.
Father Wu and Mother Wu were still talking while Wu Xin chimed in as well. Although Wu Rong wore a serious expression, he didn’t voice any objections.
Rao Jie felt relieved and smiled as she said, "Parents, Wu Xin, I think we should skip the wedding."
The entire Wu family looked at Rao Jie in surprise. After all, organizing a wedding would benefit her the most; even though they couldn’t invite relatives or parents, it would still allow her to save face among her friends.
At that moment, Rao Jie stood beside Wu Rong. He looked up at her while she smiled down at him.
Taking his hand in hers, she said, "Those who genuinely wish us well will bless us regardless of whether there’s a ceremony or not. For those who don’t care about us, we certainly don’t need to waste our time on them. So I think there’s no need for a wedding; however, I do want… to take wedding photos with Wu Rong."
