Yan Zao was afraid he hadn't made himself clear enough for Wen Jing to understand, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Wen Jing did understand and nodded, "I do. You're telling me not to make life decisions based on sympathy."
Yan Zao smiled, "As long as you understand."
Ever since she was little, her aunts and uncles had protected her too well, causing her to be too naive, too kind, and hold too strong of principles.
Sometimes having too strong of principles and being too kind isn't good, as it can lead to overconsidering others and neglecting oneself, needing to ponder every aspect thoroughly before doing anything.
After Yan Zao's advice, Wen Jing became even more conflicted, "I need to think it over."
But deep down, it seemed she already leaned towards a certain choice.
...
That evening when Wen Jing got home, Xu Ningyue and Wen Weiping had already gone to bed, which suited her just fine as she was feeling conflicted and didn't want to disturb them.
