"Chuan, look at you, all covered in sweat." She took out an embroidered handkerchief intending to wipe his sweat for him, but before she could get close, Xiao Yuchuan gave her a fierce look, "Are you going to leave on your own, or should I have someone throw you out?"
Li Rong'er's hand, holding the handkerchief, trembled. His gaze was like that of a man-eater, frighteningly intimidating.
She bit her lower lip, noticing that he showed no signs of the medicine taking effect.
Could it be that he didn't drink the medicine? Or had Fang Hai, that old thing, deceived her?
As she hesitated, a servant, Liu Zhong, entered the yard, "Second Lady, the second Master has sent me to fetch you back to the Elegant Garden."
Li Rong'er cast one more unwilling look at Xiao Yuchuan before following servant Liu Zhong out.
Once out of the Qin Garden gate, Li Rong'er asked, "Did Xiao Yuchuan drink the medicine you brought?"
"Replying to the Second Lady, he did not."
"Why didn't he drink it?"
