Chapter 1048: Chapter 1048: It’s All My Fault

Not only was she not comforting, but she was always the one in trouble, requiring his comfort and care.

Without comparison, one can never appreciate the good from the bad.

Wei Zhijie had to admit that Hai Lan was much better, even better than Yun Shan.

Yet, he had forever missed his chance with her, that wonderful girl whom he had given up himself.

But he also couldn’t let go of Yun Shan...

Wei Zhijie’s only hope was to wait for the day in the future when Hai Lan would get hurt and divorced.

When that time came, he would make it up to her, treat her well.

As Wei Zhijie thought about all this, he drifted hazily into sleep.

He didn’t know how long he had slept, but in a daze, he heard someone sobbing softly.

Wei Zhijie opened his eyes in confusion and then saw Yao Xue, sitting by the bed, holding his hand, crying very sadly!

Seeing her, Wei Zhijie was startled!

"Yao Xue? How did you get here?" he asked in surprise.

Suddenly hearing his voice, Yao Xue was also startled. She let go of his hand in alarm, her hands nervously fumbling together as she looked at him uneasily.

Seeing her eyes red, Wei Zhijie was puzzled, "Yao Xue, why are you crying? What happened to you?"

"President Wei, I didn’t know you were injured like this. Seeing you like this, my heart aches..." Yao Xue explained in a low, distressed voice.

Wei Zhijie was slightly stunned; she was crying because of him!

At this moment, Wei Zhijie’s heart was filled with indescribable feelings. There was joy, and there was also touch.

He didn’t expect Yao Xue to care about him so much, to be so concerned.

But then, thinking of how he looked right now, he felt a bit embarrassed.

"Ahem..." He coughed awkwardly, propped himself up, and tried to assume a dignified air, "This was just an accident. It looks severe, but a period of recuperation will suffice. I’m actually fine here; you don’t need to waste time visiting me."

Yao Xue glanced at his still bruised face, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "But I couldn’t help it, President Wei. I know you don’t want to see me, but I had to come... I really didn’t expect you to be so badly hurt, it’s all because of me. If possible, I wish the injured one were me. Seeing you in so much pain, it hurts my heart even more..."

"I told you this injury isn’t serious..." Wei Zhijie reassured her subconsciously, but mid-sentence, he widened his eyes in surprise, "What did you just say? What do you mean it’s all because of you?"

Yao Xue suddenly grabbed his hand and burst into tears, "President Wei, they hurt you to vent their anger on my behalf! I’m sorry, it’s all my fault for causing harm to you. Please, punish or scold me..."

Wei Zhijie looked at her in astonishment!

What was Yao Xue talking about? He couldn’t understand a word.

"You’re saying you know the people who attacked me?"

"Yes!" Yao Xue nodded while sobbing, her crying growing even more heartbroken.

Anger surged in Wei Zhijie’s heart, his face twisting a bit, "Who are they? Tell me, who exactly are they!"

He wouldn’t let those who dared to attack him go unpunished!

The police had not been able to find anyone, but now that he knew, how could he let them off!

Yao Xue cried out again, shaking her head in distress, "President Wei, it’s my fault, just hit me or scold me. They hurt you all because of me. I can’t tell you who they are, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I really can’t reveal who they are..."

"Why can’t you tell me?!" Wei Zhijie’s anger grew fiercer, and all the pleasant feelings he had for Yao Xue just moments ago vanished completely.
