Chapter 120 - 112: Sisters’ Showdown

Chapter 120: Chapter 112: Sisters’ Showdown

It’s true that after the divorce, she had trouble adjusting.

She even started to wonder if she’d made a mistake when she saw how empty her old home had become.

But deep down, she knew she didn’t regret it.

When the love is gone, it’s gone.

Yan Li sighed.

"You all think I’m selfish, but have you ever considered what our family would be like without me being this way? Do you think Mom’s meager salary could have possibly paid for Dad’s medical bills and supported two college students? Is that realistic?"

"I admit it, I’m calculating and very selfish. But if it weren’t for my selfishness, for all my scheming, what kind of life do you think you’d be living right now?"

"And don’t tell me you could have just gotten a part-time job. Have you seen the resentful, bitter look in the eyes of students who have to work their way through school?"

"Have you seen them get ridiculed by their classmates just because they’re poor?!"

"Have you seen what it’s like for them to tell their parents, ’I’m doing great, don’t worry about me,’ with tears streaming down their faces?!!!"

All the anger and grief in her heart erupted at once.

Yan Xici felt a lump in her throat. "But... but we’ve already slept together..."

’People who’ve slept together can’t just break up, right?’

’This was the first time she had ever slept with a man!’

’It was just a nap, but it was still unforgettable.’

’If they broke up now, she’d feel like an irresponsible scoundrel.’

’She wasn’t that kind of person.’

????

Yan Li’s eyes widened in astonishment, her face a mask of disbelief and shock.

What! Was! She! Saying!

’They’ve already slept together?’

’Oh my god!’

’It’s a mess. A total mess.’

’Her little sister’s innocence, gone just like that!!!’

"You... you..." Yan Li stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence.

But the look in her eyes was so intense, it was as if she wanted to carve a piece of flesh from Yan Xici’s body.

’So stupid!’

’How could she do something like that!’

"Aiya, I just couldn’t help it." The younger girl’s face fell, her expression miserable. "Si Yingying and the others always say that sleeping with your boyfriend makes you glow. Not just your skin, but your spirits, too. I... I just wanted to try it..."

’She wasn’t lying about this part. She had been the one to initiate it, so Brother Xiao Ran couldn’t take the blame.’

The naive girl still had no idea that the "sleeping together" her friends talked about was a euphemism for something else entirely.

Yan Li felt like a firework had just exploded in her head with a loud BUZZ.

She felt her world collapsing and sank heavily onto the sofa.

’Is this really my sister?’

’Where is her brain?????’

’What if they break up? If you want a man to respect you, you have to respect yourself first.’

’How could she have so little self-respect? And she initiated it! If they break up and her next boyfriend finds out she’s not a virgin, what then? That would be a disaster!’

Since they were already on the topic, she decided to be blunt. She swallowed hard. "Did you use protection?"

The girl, as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, felt that her sister might have misunderstood something she said.

’She doesn’t think we... you know... did it, does she?’

In an instant, her pupils trembled slightly, her mind clearer than ever before.

’If my sister thinks I’m already pregnant, she won’t force me to break up with Brother Xiao Ran, will she?’

As the thought took hold, her heart began to beat a little faster, and her face turned as red as a ripe tomato.

’It’s not right to lie,’ she thought, ’but the plan has a very high chance of success.’

’Once it’s a done deal, she won’t be able to do anything about it, right?’

With that in mind, she feigned confusion. "What... what protection?"

"When you slept together!"

Yan Li was about to die of anxiety.

"N-No..."

Her heart was pounding like a drum.

After speaking, Yan Xici glanced guiltily at her sister. Sure enough, her face had turned ashen.

It was no exaggeration to say that Yan Li was so angry she could feel the blood draining from her brain.

Her scalp tingled, her ears were ringing, and a cold sweat broke out down her back.

"Yan Xici, is there something wrong with your brain!!!"

Seeing her sister on the verge of a complete meltdown, the younger girl instinctively scooted back in fear. To be honest, she was terrified her sister might actually break her legs.

The atmosphere grew silent once more.

Yan Li took a long time to compose herself, not saying a word.

She might be overbearing and heartless, but she wasn’t so heartless as to force her sister to break up with him under such dangerous circumstances.

’What if she’s pregnant...’

After a long moment, Yan Li sighed and waved a hand weakly.

"Just go."

Since things had already reached this point, the only thing she could do now was probably wait a month and then take her to the hospital for a proper check-up.

Right now, she desperately needed to be alone and calm down.

Although Yan Xici had been prepared for her sister’s anger, she was still worried when she saw how pale she looked.

After all, in all her memories, this was the first time she had ever seen her like this.

"Sis, are you feeling unwell?" Yan Xici asked worriedly.

Just looking at her made Yan Li’s head throb. Honestly, in all these years, she had never felt so conflicted. This must be the legendary "bloodline suppression."

Even if she was a thousand, or ten thousand times against it, she could no longer tell them to break up immediately.

After all, if she really was pregnant, this was no laughing matter.

"Get out! Get out!"

Yan Li truly didn’t want to see her for another minute. Her mind was completely consumed with the question of what to do if her sister was actually pregnant.
