"Your innocence belongs to me."
"Liu Wan, whether you believe it or not, you bled that night when Old Madam Xie drugged you and sent you to me. I've kept that handkerchief for three years. If you don't believe me, I'll take you back to the Prince's Manor to see it."
Xia Siheng's gaze burned. He suppressed the surging heat coursing through his body, allowing only a fraction of it to show in his eyes.
At the mention of it, he couldn't help recalling that night. Its lingering passion and tender warmth instantly left him feeling hot.
His throat grew a little dry. He lifted his hands slightly and released Liu Wan.
Liu Wan felt as though lightning had struck her!
"Wh... what?"
What had she just heard?
She had actually bled when she was with Xia Siheng.
But she had married Xie Jin'an before that, so why hadn't she bled then?
For a moment, she couldn't speak.
Xia Siheng rubbed his fingers together, not daring to look at her for fear that the feelings in his eyes would be too fierce.
He said, "Have you ever considered that perhaps Xie Jin'an couldn't perform?"
Yet at the thought that they had shared physical intimacy, jealousy surged through Xia Siheng's heart, and veins faintly bulged on his hands.
"Huh? Then Xu Rourou's child... wait, Xu Rourou's child isn't his either!"
Something suddenly occurred to Liu Wan. It seemed she had figured it out.
No wonder. That was where the problem lay!
She hadn't bled on her wedding night because her husband couldn't perform!
She hadn't conceived in five years because Xie Jin'an couldn't perform, too!
It was all because of Xie Jin'an that she had endured years of disgrace!
So that was it!
She had shouldered the blame for Xie Jin'an
