She drank too quickly, choking in her throat, and suddenly she began to cough violently.
Chu Yifeng scooped her into his arms, gently patting her back to help her catch her breath.
As he patted, Rong Sheng said, "It wasn't poisoned."
Just now, she simply hadn't wanted him to drink the wine that the female servant had offered.
Chu Yifeng found it amusing. "I can tell. Even if there were poison, you would still feed it to me rather than drink it yourself."
Though Rong Sheng was cool and detached, she always valued her life greatly.
No matter how he tormented her, she never considered ending her own life.
Once, she had told him, "Chu Yifeng, you only live once, and life is not to be wasted or squandered. Since you've come into this world, even if it means suffering broken bones and leading an unremarkable existence, you must still live on properly."
