Soon, someone stood up, speaking with a forced bravery.
"We're not forcing her to drink. Don't blabber with your eyes wide open. Since you really want to drink for her, then you can take all her drinks from now on," he said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng found it quite laughable, not even finding a trace of logic in his own words.
Isn't this forcing her to drink, then what is?
Just as he was about to say something, to his surprise, Chen Xiaoxiao gently tugged at the hem of his shirt from behind.
Then she whispered.
"Thank you for helping me, but it's okay. I can handle it."
Her voice was so soft that almost no one else could hear it, only Liu Zheng did.
Seeing her distressed face, as she forced herself to speak through the pain, how could Liu Zheng not know that she was compelled and did not want him to get involved in the turmoil on her account?
And the more she behaved like this, the less he could just stand by and watch.
