Even the ML himself doesn't think he's in love with her (typical emotionally-stunted- from-a-young-age-due-to-difficult-life behavior). But the FL is biased based on her memories of the novel. And the ml should have made his stance clear when EVERYONE thought he favored the concubine due to his behavior.
That makes sense but right now in the story it feels like nothing is really happening and they keep hinting at stuff that's interesting. I hope the next few chapters capitalize on it and not the FL trying to ruin her reputation and fail at doing so ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I would understand the FL reasoning if the ML form her perspective was in some way romantic or showing interest in the Saintess. But from every angle he doesn't seem interested and is only showing intrest in the FL. When Fl's are this blantly dense I get irritated and bored because nothing of note is really happening just trope after trope. （￣へ￣）
