Wang Yongzhu narrowed his eyes in displeasure: "What? Are you rejecting me?"
Song Chongjin reacted swiftly as if facing a great enemy: "Nonsense! I am not! How could I? I just think those weaklings from other academies aren't worthy of my wife making a move! Why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? Besides, my wife's delicate jade-like hands shouldn't do such coarse work! This sort of thing should be left to your man—"
"On that day, my wife should just accompany our mother on the stands, cheering for your man!" he especially emphasized at the end.
Wang Yongzhu giggled; she mentioned competing just to tease Song Chongjin, knowing full well she wouldn't possibly participate in the race.
Song Chongjin clearly understood Wang Yongzhu was teasing him, yet he acted so eager to please, leaving Wang Yongzhu feeling a lack of accomplishment.
