WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Don't give me that excuse! Fooling around is a huge deal to me, and you don't get to brush it off.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Socializing vs. Romantic Fidelity (Fengchang Zuoxi)

In traditional and business circles, 'putting on an act for the occasion' at banquets or brothels was often excused by men as unavoidable social duty, a mindset strongly challenged here.
