He was reflecting, had his approach just now been too direct, leading to Axiang's inability to accept it? He had thought that being a bit overbearing would suffice, but it unexpectedly made her develop a repulsion.
Zhao Datu was also thinking, how very strange this was.
Previously, when Axiang had always been a submissive wife, he thought she wasn't good at all, not attractive, and had an unlikable personality. Everything about her was annoying, but now that Axiang was ignoring him, he found her attractive instead.
Could it be because he had given up on pursuing Xia Dabao?
Oh well, he would think of another way some other day.
That day, returning from the fields, Shagen hadn't spoken at all.
Ever since he had beaten up Zhao Datu, he had been silent, not allowing Axiang to help him with work. As soon as he returned, he would cook by himself, serve a bowl for Axiang, and then start eating on his own.
Axiang really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
