After coughing, Xiao Jin struggled to stand up straight and sat up.

Due to the cold weather in the capital, the blood that had been trickling down her arm had already frozen from the howling wind and snow.

However, the original owner's body was weak, and although Xiao Jin's lips were stained with blood and her face was abnormally red, her whole body had already begun to tremble.

Before her vision became increasingly blurry, she took a breath and answered Chu Shao's question, "Princess, I pushed you away because... it's not right."

Chu Shao looked at Xiao Jin, who was leaning against a pine tree, and walked a few steps closer, reaching out to touch her feverish face in a gentle tone, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

In Chu Shao's eyes, there was nothing wrong.

Most people spend their entire lives just trying to get what they want. In such circumstances, it is rare for someone to be strongly driven by desire and still be able to restrain themselves and remain sober.

It could be said that there are no such people at all.

Before meeting Xiao Jin, Chu Shao did not believe that there were still people like this in the world.

After all, she had never encountered anyone like Xiao Jin before.

Xiao Jin was flushed all over from the effects of the aphrodisiac, and at this moment, she finally empathized with how the female lead in online novels felt when they were drugged.

It was truly unbearable.

Either she wanted to take someone for herself or she wanted someone to come and take her quickly.

She felt that her endurance had already reached its limit.

However, she still reached out and weakly pushed away Chu Shao's hand, slowing down her voice and hoarsely saying, "Because I don't want to become someone who even I myself feel ashamed of."

Chu Shao looked at the blood on Xiao Jin's arm and hesitated, but did not respond.

Actually, Xiao Jin's thoughts were very simple.

Although she had seen many scenes of taking aphrodisiacs and rolling around in bed in online novels, she still refused from the bottom of her heart when she experienced it firsthand.

She didn't want to succumb to the drug, nor did she believe that she couldn't control herself under the influence of the drug.

Moreover, a paper person is also a person, and she should respect Chu Shao's wishes.

However, she didn't expect Chu Shao to actively initiate something, which almost caused her to lose control.

Although she didn't know what Chu Shao was thinking, before her body was about to explode from the heat, Xiao Jin still managed to control her instincts and whispered a sentence.

"I'm sorry."

The apology was directed towards Chu Shao.

The reason was the impulsive kiss from earlier.

Chu Shao was stunned, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Because she didn't understand why Xiao Jin had to apologize to her, and she had never seen a noble from a country apologize to someone else.

In reality, Xiao Jin felt quite ashamed.

She and Chu Shao were originally in a fake marriage. If this happened in modern times and she hadn't been caught... leading to other events and causing serious consequences, the nature of the situation would be quite bad.
