After finishing the meal, Jiang Ninghan took Cao Chenxi to a nearby traditional Chinese medicine store to get some herbs.
Once they returned home, they couldn't wait to start brewing the medicine.
After it was ready, Cao Chenxi downed it all in one go.
That night, Chen Bin lay beside her, feeling uneasy.
He was afraid Cao Chenxi might do something excessive to him.
However, until he drifted off in a daze, nothing unfortunate happened.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard the sound of someone getting up.
Opening his eyes, he saw Cao Chenxi clutching her stomach, rushing to the bathroom.
Chen Bin rubbed his eyes, looking puzzled.
Out of curiosity, he quietly opened the remaining unbrewed herbs.
To his shock, he found croton seeds inside!
Though Chen Bin didn't know much about Chinese medicine, he knew croton seeds were not something to consume lightly.
Thinking that Cao Chenxi might have to take croton seeds for three months in a row, a wave of fear gripped him.
