He knows he shouldn't meddle too much and should be content.
But he still worries and gets angry.
What if something happens if she gets drunk?
It's really worrisome.
Dang Yang: Drinking with Qiao Chuchu and the others again?
An Yue: No. Just having dinner.
An Yue thinks of this as a harmless lie. It's not that she's afraid of Dang Yang; she knows he doesn't like her drinking, worried something might happen, and she doesn't want to argue with Dang Yang over such issues.
An Yue is a sensible, or rather... perceptive person.
Since she agreed to date Dang Yang, her intention was to have a good relationship... not to argue and have conflicts all the time.
So for the harmony of their relationship, sometimes telling a little harmless lie isn't wrong.
Dang Yang: Still having dinner at this hour?
An Yue: Yeah.
