Prisoner of the past huh...

Li Bingbing lowered her head, she was a prisoner as well because of her love for Xia Sinian but because of her continuous love for him, they were now back with each other.

"Are you sure about that?" Li Bingbing raised her head and looked at her. "He's still a man. Men are the closest thing to animals. Their animal instincts when it comes to having s.e.x 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 have 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?"

She was saying these words to test how strong were the feelings Xia Meilin has for Lu Yifeng. As her best friend, back then, she really didn't like Lu Yifeng. After hearing the news that Xia Meilin married him, she wanted to do something to ruin the man that raped her best friend but she got a message from Xia Meilin on not to do anything since it was not yet the time.

Li Bingbing wasn't blind, she saw how the relations.h.i.+p between the two became better and better, especially now that Xia Meilin looked so in love with him.

"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. Questions started lingering in her mind that moment that she couldn't help but ask, "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 wh.o.r.e. He still has his pride as someone who came from an elite family. He will not lower himself just because of a wh.o.r.e."

"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 wh.o.r.e, Bingbing. If I was a man, I would not mingle with a wh.o.r.e after a one night stand. Who would want a prost.i.tute as their woman? I know that I shouldn't be degrading them since they also have human rights but I am not a righteous woman, Bingbing. I would have done the same as him."

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 s.e.xually 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 s.e.xually aroused just by breathing it in. I think what happened to Lu Yifeng was the latter. This is just a speculation, we don't know if it really happened. Lin Jinhao probably placed an incense in the room. Given the situation, this is a common thing when someone gifts a woman to the person they wanted to please. Besides, those kind of things help sets the mood."

"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 relations.h.i.+p 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.

"I will stop thinking about it... What matters to me right now is that I'm living happily with my husband."

"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. "He was at home earlier."

Li Bingbing shrugged, "Ignore him. He's a pain in the a.s.s, he'll get tired after a while. Besides, I can't hang out with him now that I'm back with Sisi."

She may be sleeping around with men when she was single but now that she was back in a relations.h.i.+p with Xia Sinian, she knew when to stop and distance herself from other men.
