Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: I’m Pregnant with Your Child

At that moment, he just couldn’t wait to use all means possible to force her to reveal the criminal’s identity!

What did it matter if she liked him, or even if they had been involved?

But if she thought of protecting the criminal, he would never forgive her!

"Because, because..." Yao Xue sobbed, not knowing how to respond, her face showing great difficulty.

Wei Zhijie gripped her wrist tightly, his face twisted into an even more ferocious expression due to his anger, "Because what?!"

Yao Xue cried bitterly, "Because I was carrying your child!"

Boom—

Wei Zhijie’s eyes widened in astonishment, finding it hard to believe, "What did you say?"

Yao Xue looked up at him, tears continuously falling from her sorrowful eyes.

"Mr. Wei, I was carrying your child, but I knew you definitely wouldn’t want it... so I had an abortion a couple of days ago, I really didn’t want you to know. But they found out I was pregnant with your child, thought you were irresponsible, and angrily went to settle the score with you. I had no idea they would treat you like this, if I had known, I would have stopped them even if it cost me my life..."

Wei Zhijie’s expression stiffened for a long time.

He hadn’t expected that Yao Xue had been pregnant with his child!

And she had silently had an abortion...

How did things turn out this way?!

"Did you... really have an abortion?" Wei Zhijie looked at her stomach with a complicated gaze, actually hoping she had done so, as he could not have a child with her.

Yet... he was conflicted and somewhat hoped she hadn’t done it...

Yao Xue nodded, "Yes, I did. I took leave a couple of days ago to have the abortion. Mr. Wei, just pretend this child never existed, I won’t trouble you with this matter!"

Wei Zhijie stared at Yao Xue’s pale face, a surge of compassion welling up within him.

No wonder her complexion hadn’t been good; he thought it was because she was too worried about him.

So she had just had an abortion...

And she bore all this silently on her own without thinking of letting him know! Had it been another woman, she would surely have used this to blackmail him for benefits.

But she didn’t, and even had the abortion secretly.

She must really love him!

Wei Zhijie couldn’t help but grasp her hand, guiltily saying, "Yao Xue, you have been wronged! Rest assured, I will definitely compensate you!"

Yao Xue blushed shyly, "Mr. Wei, I don’t want your compensation; I did everything willingly..."

"No, although I cannot respond with any affection. Economically, I must compensate you, and you must accept this!" Wei Zhijie said earnestly.

Yao Xue shook her head urgently, "Mr. Wei, I really can’t accept it! What kind of woman do you take me for?"

"I know you’re not that kind of woman, but this is my way of compensating you. If you reject it, I will always feel uneasy."

Seeing his insistence, Yao Xue had no choice but to nod reluctantly, "Alright, if it will give you peace of mind, I’ll accept it..."

"Yao Xue, you really have been wronged." Wei Zhijie was more convinced than ever that she was a good girl.

Such a good girl, he mustn’t hurt her!

Wei Zhijie had a common male problem, not being able to bear seeing a woman who liked him suffer. Even if he couldn’t reciprocate her feelings, he still wanted to protect her.

Therefore, he very generously gave Yao Xue a million yuan and withdrew the criminal lawsuit related to this incident.

He could no longer pursue it, because it was all his fault, and moreover, the matter between him and Yao Xue must not be made public.
