“Why not?” For a split second, Ye Lanchen felt his heart sink to the bottom of his stomach.
He knew she respected the agreement and also planned for a quick divorce. Therefore, he already figured she would not intend to have children with him.
Despite that, he still felt deeply attacked upon listening to it being clearly enunciated ing from her.
However, he realized she said she could not rather than would not. There was a difference between these two.
The former was more determined than the latter. However, why did she not just say she did not want to carry his child?
“But you’ve not been using any contraceptives?” He suddenly had a glimmer of hope at the thought of that.
Ye Lanchen was determined to find out the answer but he was afraid to hear it simultaneously. He did not raise his head to meet her gaze. Perhaps he was afraid to see something that could break his heart.
Chu Wuyou’s hands clenched on the sides of her body. A hint of sadness flashed across her eyes but disappeared quickly. She readjusted her emotions and replied in a calm voice, “I’m infertile because of an old injury.”
She suffered from postpartum hemorrhage after delivering the twins back then. She could have even lost her own life if it was not for Sister Hongling.
The doctor told her she would not be able to carry any more children after that experience.
Despite that, however, she never regretted giving birth to her two darlings.
This was also one of the reasons she did not want to get married. The other party must want to have children and she figured it would be unfair to the man if she was infertile.
Undoubtedly, she would not allow her two darlings to suffer from grievances.
Therefore, she never had the idea of getting married. She was planning to stay single for the rest of her life if Ye Lanchen had not forced her into the arrangement this time.
This was one thing that she never wished to bring up. However, she could not stay silent now that the man had questioned.
Besides, Ye Lanchen mentioned that she had not been taking any contraceptives. Indeed, that point slipped her attention as she reckoned it was unnecessary since she could never conceive. Evidently, the man misunderstood her decision, possibly thinking that she was trying to seize this opportunity to conceive his child.
She thought the man could be testing her, thus she had to explain herself clearly.
Ye Lanchen’s entire body froze for a split second. He suddenly raised his head to meet her gaze. He knew she was not lying when he witnessed the serious expression that took over her face. In that second, he felt as if something extremely sharp had poked right through his heart, leaving behind an excruciating pain.
She said she was infertile because of an injury?
This was one possibility that he never entertained before.
He was suddenly reminded of his profession and figured she must have been assigned numerous dangerous tasks before. Did she injure herself during one of the jobs?
He would kill Tang Boqian if that was truly the case.
The man moved his hand along her stomach to her waist slowly. In actuality, he had kissed her body countless times thus he knew if there was any scar on her body. Nonetheless, his first reaction upon hearing that she had been injured was to inspect her body thoroughly.
“Where is it? How did it happen?” He questioned in a deep tone. Concern was clearly audible in his voice. He wished to know how and where she got hurt.
