WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You don't really scare me, but let's not do anything drastic.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Playing Weak to Counter Strong (示弱)

Adopting an exaggerated polite pronoun ('您') alongside a theatrical plea ('别吓我呀') is a strategic rhetoric to stall or subtly mock an angry superior or opponent.
