Dazhuang kept a watchful eye on Zhuang Nainai for the whole trip, fearing that she might do something crazy again.
This action was misunderstood by Zhuang Nainai again.
She figured that Dazhuang had probably seen how Si Zhengting deserted her just before and was mocking her right now.
She could not let that slide! Zhuang Nainai cleared her throat and said casually, "Dazhuang!"
Dazhuang instantly tensed, keeping his guard up and staying on high alert. "Madam…"
Zhuang Nainai smiled at him and continued, "Let me tell you a joke. There was once a married couple who went grocery shopping on a scooter. On the way back, there was a steep upslope, so the husband asked his wife to get down and walk up the slope before getting on the scooter again. But guess what?"
"What?" Dazhuang humored her.
