Rather than taking a carriage from the Main Palace to the Jade Pavilion, Yang Ning suggested walking, emphasizing that it would aid in digestion after their hearty afternoon meal. Zheng Liang didn't have any objections and accompanied her for the walk while holding hands.
Zheng Xiang sighed when he was forced to join the couple for the unnecessary walk. He had thought that if they took a carriage, he would be able to get rid of Zheng Liang and Yang Ning soon. However, thanks to Yang Ning's suggestion to walk instead, he was forced to stay with them for a longer time, in the company of the couple who didn't hesitate to show off their harmonious relationship.
Just like Zheng Xiang, Zheng Liang also wanted to get rid of Zheng Xiang and forget his existence, but Yang Ning kept turning around, initiating a conversation with him. However, Zheng Xiang didn't say much and only answered with a nod or a hum at every question of hers.
