"Ah, that won't do." Mei pressed his hand and provocatively raised her chin, "Whoever should drink must drink, no substitutions are allowed."
Ling Kong's gaze suddenly turned fierce, and Ye Lu quickly pressed him down, signaling him not to act impulsively.
"I'll drink." She held the bowl, a trace of gloom flashing in her eyes.
"Wait a moment." Xie Wen, who was chatting with the village elders on the side, suddenly turned his head, his sharp and forceful voice immediately overpowered the noise, frowning as he stared at the bowl of alcohol in Ye Lu's hands and commanded, "Pregnant women should drink less alcohol. If something goes wrong, there are no doctors in these mountains. We are all men here, there's no need to trouble a young woman like her."
After he spoke up, his calm and commanding voice instantly subdued the whole scene, and no one else felt it was appropriate to speak out.
