"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 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'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 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?"
