Super Soldier in the City

Xu Shanshan huffed and plopped down beside Li Yifei, shaking Li Yifei’s arm plaintively, "Brother-in-law, how could you do this to me."

Li Yifei quickly made a pained face and said, "I didn’t want this either. That night, I was planning to go to sleep, but your sister was worried that your parents would keep nagging her about having children, so she insisted on making some noise for them to overhear. Since she couldn’t do it herself, she forced me to help her—I was completely coerced, tell me how is that fair? It feels like I’ve been violated, and not only can I not complain, but I also have to play the role of a trophy wife."

Xu Shanshan snorted with laughter, slapping Li Yifei’s arm, "Brother-in-law, you don’t have to worry. I know you were forced, it’s not your fault, so you shouldn’t feel any guilt."

Listening to this, Xu Yingying couldn’t help feeling a bit sour. Although Li Yifei was telling the truth, from start to finish he seemed to have suffered no loss, while she was the one at a disadvantage. Now, with Li Yifei looking so aggrieved, it seemed as if she was the one who was in the wrong. It made Xu Yingying feel like she had made a business deal, clearly getting scammed and losing a great deal of money, and yet somehow she was the one who was at fault.

"Li Yifei, what I’m about to tell you is a fact; now that something like this has happened between us, do you think we still have no relationship?"

Xu Shanshan immediately interjected, "What does it matter whether we have a relationship or not? Are you saying that if a woman is raped, she has to marry her rapist? Then all the men in the world could just rape any woman they fancied."

Xu Yingying was caught off guard and glared fiercely at Li Yifei without responding to Xu Shanshan. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt

At that moment, Li Yifei stubbed out his cigarette butt forcefully, met Xu Yingying’s gaze, and said, "Yingying, as a man, I have my principles. Although you’ve caused me both physical and emotional trauma, I cannot yield, and I will still pursue my own happiness."

Xu Yingying nearly hit her head in frustration. Li Yifei was speaking so tragically, as if he really were a woman who had been raped, infuriating her so much that she wanted to grab the fruit knife from the coffee table and stab him several times.

Meanwhile, Xu Shanshan burst into laughter, rested her hands on Li Yifei’s shoulders, and struggled to stop giggling, "Brother-in-law, you’re absolutely right. We’re not like women; we can’t just accept it if we’ve been taken advantage of."
