The Devil's Sleeping Beauty Chapter 103 His days are counted

"Are you sure about that?" Li Bingbing frowned. "He's still a man. Men are the closest thing to animals. Their animal instincts when it comes to having sex with women are different. Don't try to defend his past actions just because you love him now. He still committed the sin of raping you and it will never change. "
Xia Meilin shook her head vigorously. "No. He told me that if he knew that I was drugged, he would've brought me to the hospital. He would never have forced me."
Li Bingbing leaned back to her seat and crossed her arms, her face turning serious. "And you believe him? Humans are capable of lying, do you know that, Meimei?"
"My husband will not lie to me," Xia Meilin said with sureness in her voice. "He has no reason to lie to me. I trust him."
Seeing that Xia Meilin wasn't wavering, Li Bingbing couldn't help but sigh. "Then tell me, Meimei, he could have looked for you after that night, why didn't he?"
Xia Meilin's lips stretched out into a thin line.. "He thought that... I was a paid whore. He still has his pride as someone who came from an elite family. He will not lower himself just because of a whore."
"Oh? He could have look into your background you know." Li Bingbing narrowed her eyes. "But he didn't. As a man like him, getting your background wouldn't be hard for him, so why didn't he do that? Why did he ask for you only after you came back to this country? Is it because of your status and popularity? Surely he never loved you back then."
Xia Meilin clenched her fists tight and raised her head to look at her best friend. "I am not a lowly whore, Bingbing. If I was a man, I would not mingle with a whore after a one night stand. Who would want a prostitute as their woman?"

Li Bingbing stared at Xia Meilin for a while before she gave up, "Well then, let me tell you what could've happened. There are only two options that a person can be sexually aroused."
Xia Meilin was listening closely to Li Bingbing. If Lu Yifeng wasn't drugged then the second option should be the thing that made Lu Yifeng aroused back then, right?
"It's either he was drugged or his mind was influenced by an incense that can make a person sexually aroused. I think what happened to Lu Yifeng is the latter. This is just a speculation. We don't know if it really happened. Lin Jinhao probably placed an incense in the room. But this is just a thought, okay? We don't know if that really happened."
"So there's really a possibility that he can be innocent from his actions..." Xia Meilin couldn't help but be relieved with that fact.
"Don't put your hopes up, okay? We're not even sure if that really happened. Anyway, that's all in the past now. You are living happily with him and you have fallen for him. What's important is the relationship you have with him in the present. You cannot change what already happened." Li Bingbing leaned and continued eating her fries.
Li Bingbing was right, she shouldn't be dealing with past anymore. She shouldn't be a prisoner of her past. Xia Meilin has forgiven Lu Yifeng already and they are now living peacefully as a family.
"Lu Xian Yu's looking for you, do you know that?" Xia Meilin asked, changing the topic as she took a spoonful of the banana split cake she has.

Li Bingbing shrugged, "Ignore him. He's a pain in the ass, he'll get tired after a while. Besides, I can't hang out with him now that I'm back with Sisi."
Xia Meilin's eyes went wide in surprise, "You're dating my brother again?!"
Li Bingbing happily smiled at her, "Why yes. I always knew that he still loved me like how I still love him."
"Oh, that's great! You can finally be my official sister-in-law!"
The smile on Li Bingbing's lips became stiff. She doesn't know if Xia Sinian is willing to marry her since... his days are limited. The pain in her chest started growing when she was reminded of this.
Xia Meilin noticed that the expression on Li Bingbing's face changed. She couldn't help wonder what entered her mind. She was about to ask her but was cut off when someone suddenly hugged her from behind.
The three bodyguards that were just sitting on the next table stood up when they saw the person hugging their madam close. They instantly placed their hands on their guns.
"Ren Shiyuan?!" Li Bingbing gasped in surprise.
"I never thought that I will see you here, love~" A feminine voice was heard. The person gave Xia Meilin a kiss on her cheek before she leaned back.
Xia Meilin turned and saw a beautiful woman in front of her. She was wearing a simple but beautiful green dress. The woman's hair was long and wavy and she was wearing high heels.
Xia Meilin frowned when she saw a familiar face. "Ren Shiyuan..."
