Ning Xuan took Yu Mingche's hand and asked in a low, concerned voice, "What's wrong? Why are you so pale?"
"Xuanyuan, you know my birth mother is unknown and my father died long ago. Do you mind?" Yu Mingche whispered in her ear.
"None of that is a secret; I've known for a long time. Why would I mind? Is that what you're worried about? Did the people who came to investigate from the administration center give you a hard time?" Ning Xuan asked, confused.
