Bai Xianyu felt that after she asked this, the man froze for a moment while drinking his medicine.
But as if it was her imagination, Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows slightly. “Who mentioned Nanke to you?”
Bai Xianyu said, “You.”
Xie Xingyun,”…”
“That night, you hugged me and called me Nanke.”
“What?” Bai Xianyu did not stop feeding the medicine. His eyebrows were exquisite. “Is that a woman?”
Xie Xingyun coughed lightly and blushed. “No.”

In the end, she said under the man’s burning gaze, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m just curious.”
At first, she asked him what Nanke was because she felt that with Xie Xingyun’s personality, it was probably impossible for him to call a girl by her name when he was drunk.
So it was very likely that Nanke was a thing.
But now that she saw Xie Xingyun’s blank expression, she was a little surprised.
Xie Xingyun shifted his gaze. “It’s a spice that can help one sleep. I lit it after you left that day.”
Bai Xianyu was just asking casually. She used to like to go to the bustling city and had heard many storytellers mention many magical incense of the Western Region. The names were quite nice,
like “Destiny”, “Yesterday’s Yellow Flowers”, and “Nightmare”, but she had never heard of this name “Nanke”.
Bai Xianyu’s train of thought went back to a moment ago. “Xie Xingyun, you’re not young anymore, right?”
Xie Xingyun glanced at her.
“The emotion of liking will slowly wear off in the future. Not all are like that, but most.”
Bai Xianyu used to think that she would always like Xie Xingyun, but one day, when she walked out of the courtyard and saw the withered leaves falling from the tree, the autumn wind rustling, it seemed to suddenly blow her heart cold.
Before that, she was clearly thinking of making some pastries for him to send to the study.
At that moment, she was so tired that she just wanted to turn around and go back to the bedroom to sleep.
It was as if the love that came in strong always faded away silently.
“If you say that you like me now, you might feel that you’re wasting your time later. You might as well find a new one…”
“I don’t.”
Bai Xianyu looked at him. “Huh?”
“I won’t not like you.” Xie Xingyun leisurely took a handkerchief from the side and said slowly, “There won’t be anyone else.”
Bai Xianyu put down the medicine bowl and said calmly, “You make it sound nice. How many men don’t take concubines after marriage? If you hadn’t promised my brother and the others that you would never take concubines when you married me, I wouldn’t have believed that 1 was the only one you took in those few years.”

It did not matter if he liked her or not. In any case, he had married her even though he did not like her.
Moreover, she had not made a move at that time.
Xie Xingyun had always wanted to find an opportunity to explain, but he had not found the right time. He might as well explain everything clearly today.
“I rejected her long ago,” he said. “I won’t take a concubine.”
Bai Xianyu sat in front of the table. She was already very calm now. “If you didn’t mean to, where did Bai Yu’er disappear to when she came to look for me? She wasn’t with you?”
In fact, it was common for wealthy families to take in concubines. Emperor Wu Xuan was still young, but his son was the same age as her. Whatever he did, the people below followed, so everyone did not avoid talking about this matter.
Xie Xingyun said, “I don’t know what she’s doing.”
After saying this, as if he felt that this answer was a little perfunctory, he continued, “As for taking her as a concubine, Mother mentioned it to me once. I didn’t take the initiative.”
Bai Xianyu nodded casually. It was not known if she believed him or not. He only looked at the bright sunlight of spring outside the window and said, “In any case, you’re awake now. Why don’t 1 make the brocade pouch gift for you?”
Xie Xingyun’s gaze moved slightly. “Now?”
“Mm, I won’t disturb you now, right?” As Bai Xianyu spoke, she wanted to get someone to get the needle and threads, but she came back halfway. “Have you thought about how you want it?”
Xie Xingyun said vaguely, “No.”
“Is it so hard to think of?” Bai Xianyu pursed her lips and suggested, “Why don’t we use the Kui dragon pattern?”
