After a long silence, Dan Huainuo assumed this conversation would once again end in a pointless argument. Surprisingly, Lu Rudan responded, "Alright."
Although he very much wanted his wife and daughter to coexist peacefully, now that his wish had come true, there was an odd sense of unreality.
Perhaps subconsciously, he had always believed there was a natural opposition between the two.
Dan Huainuo's nine-year-old daughter was left behind by his ex-wife.
His marriage to his ex-wife was a mistake; whether in values or personal habits, they were not on the same page.
For instance, his ex-wife would argue endlessly with the old farmer at the market over ten cents, while he wouldn't bat an eyelid at buying a thousand-dollar brush pen.
This discordant marriage lasted less than a year, and it wasn't until he met Lu Rudan that he understood the importance of an equal match, as advocated in ancient times.
A similar upbringing and consistent values make interactions more pleasant.
