evil conflicts in c-mode

Hello, I am an emacs newbie with vim background, return key in N mode works alright for plain text files such as a text file called temp. but in a c++ file for example temp.cpp, it is described as (newline-and-indent) I did c-h k return to find it out. Is this a desired behavior in c-mode? is there anyway to disable this behavior? in vim normal mode, return shouldn't do anything. Thanks for any help! Jim.
