"Huh? But why?" Xue Cong didn't know why he wanted her to do so.
She thought about it for a moment, bit her lower lip and asked, "Are you thinking of getting Xiu as your concubine?"
"No? Where did that idea come from?" Lin Xuan Qi rolled his eyes at her and shook his head.
Xiu was a capable servant girl but he wasn't interested in her at all.
It would be disastrous for him to take Xiu as a concubine when Xiu was Xue Cong's best helper.
He would only make Xue Cong lose her trust in him and Xiu if he did so.
Lin Xuan Qi lay down onto the bed beside her and placed his hand on her belly.
"I want you, Yue Jie, Yue Xin and Shi Shi to be as ready as possible to bear me a child."
That was the best excuse he could come up with and it made her anxious for a moment.
She held onto his hand that was on her belly, and she felt apologetic that she wasn't able to do so for him so far.
"I will let them know…" Xue Cong said softly and closed her eyes.
