Knowing when to stop while you're ahead is her most praiseworthy quality.
She was truly unsteady on her feet; her mind was clear, but her limbs were not quite under her control.
Lu Zhixing scooped her up in his arms. Huo Yancheng, who was sitting in the wine tasting room, got up to rush out, but was stopped by Huo Chenyu.
"Lu Zhixing knows what he's doing; he won't do anything to your sister-in-law."
However, he was still worried.
He staggered to his feet, smashing the wine cup on the table to the ground with a crash. Huo Yancheng almost didn't react in time, but fortunately, he saw through his elder brother's scheme and immediately shouted:
"Brother, your hand is bleeding."
The sound was so loud it was exaggerated to the extreme.
Tang Li, who was lying in Lu Zhixing's arms, heard everything clearly. Her first reaction was to go in and check immediately, but she was too drunk to do so.

Lu Zhixing rolled his eyes at him:
"She is independent, free, and not anyone's appendage, Mr. Song. If you really want to give her a surprise, wait until you're sober another day."
Lu Zhixing helped Tang Li fasten his seatbelt, making it seem as if he had no intention of taking Song Beiye with him.
Left with no other choice, Song Beiye had to lay his cards on the table:
“I came to Tanzhou and kidnapped someone.”
Kidnapping?
Not only was Lu Zhixing taken aback, but even the drunken Tang Li became somewhat sober, and the two asked in unison:
