CHAPTER 632: CHAPTER 631 INJURY (+5)

Yang Chen looked at Wei Xueqing, who seemed so nervous and uneasy, and couldn’t help but sigh, saying, "Look at you now, hesitant in everything you do, increasingly relying on others for decisions. You used to start out on Will Street, handling major projects. Why is it that now you’re in your home country, many things become unsolvable? Where do you think your problem lies?"

Wei Xueqing bowed her head deeply.

"That’s right, even if I don’t say it, you know it too. We all can see it but just didn’t point it out," Yang Chen said in a deep voice. "You are very dependent on me now, hoping I will help you solve many things, make decisions for you. But I have said before, I am no longer your bodyguard, nor am I obliged to help you with these..."

Hearing this, Wei Xueqing felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately glaring at Yang Chen and shouting, "Then leave! Just leave! Did I ever ask you to help me? Did I ever insist that you stay by my side? Just go! Anyway, my dad is already gone; no one is holding you back. You don’t have to feel guilty! Just leave me here, do whatever you want, even if I die, don’t concern yourself with me!"

Yang Chen frowned at Wei Xueqing, "Xueqing..."

"Don’t call me that! From the beginning to the end, you never regarded me as a friend. I was just a tool for you to make money when you needed it," Wei Xueqing glared at Yang Chen with some resentment.

"I..." Yang Chen was at a loss for words.

"What? Can’t say anything?" Wei Xueqing said angrily. "Is it because you don’t need that money now? Your true identity is gradually being revealed, your strength is being shown bit by bit, and I realized I know so little about you. I found you hid so deeply; I understand I don’t know you at all! What I knew was just the bodyguard who tried his best to protect me, not you! Not the current you!"

After Wei Xueqing shouted this out, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

Yang Chen looked at Wei Xueqing, collapsed on the ground and crying, feeling uncomfortable inside.

Yang Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally calmed himself and said to Wei Xueqing, "Xueqing, you are Ye Xin’s best friend, her best confidante. I..."

"Yang Chen!" Wei Xueqing interrupted Yang Chen; she already knew what he wanted to say and stared at him, asking, "What exactly do you take me for?"

"I..." Yang Chen didn’t expect Wei Xueqing to ask this.

Wei Xueqing looked intently at Yang Chen, "I ask you, did you ever place me in the right position? Even if just once! Even if it was just like how you treat Yanyan, hugging me, patting my head, doing some intimate gestures. Or showing some care like you do for Ye Xin, or at least like you do for Li Wanwan. Why? Why did you start to build a wall between us after my father passed away, blocking all my care and feelings for you? Do you know you’re like a stubborn and smelly stone? When I tried to give you some warmth, you just hit me from above, so I had to shout and yell at you, wanting you to pay more attention to me! But you never gave me a second look!"

Yang Chen remained silent.

Wei Xueqing wiped her tears; her eyeliner was smudged, making her look especially miserable.

"Yes, you must have realized that my feelings for you were not right, didn’t you? So you distanced yourself from me intentionally, pushed me away deliberately. Yang Chen! I just want to ask you, am I really that bad? Why do you have to treat me this way? On what grounds?"

Yang Chen lowered his head, his voice slightly hoarse, "I’m sorry, I’m already married, and in my life, I will only..."

"Only love Ye Xin, right!" Wei Xueqing laughed miserably, shaking her head slightly as if mocking herself.

Yang Chen was slightly startled, but he still nodded.

"Ha!" Wei Xueqing smiled slightly, but her lips began to turn downward, and tears started to drop down: "But, why? Why did I have to meet you? Why did you appear in my world?"

As she said this, Wei Xueqing began to cry aloud as if she were a little girl who had suffered too much.

"Yang Chen! You are a bastard! Why did you appear in my world? Why can you be better than every man around me? Why can you solve all the world’s troubles? Why did you appear when I was heartbroken, why when I was most helpless? Why? Why is it always you who appears beside me, and the only one I can rely on is you? Where’s my family? My... my father is gone too, boo hoo..."

With that, Wei Xueqing cried out, completely disregarding any semblance of composure.

Watching Wei Xueqing crying so bitterly, Yang Chen was distressed.

Indeed, Wei Xueqing was very outstanding—beautiful, well-educated, good figure, well-off background, and many people envied her. But, around her, there wasn’t a single person who truly knew her, even her last family member passed away.

Who else could she rely on?

She still had a best friend, but this friend couldn’t always be with her all the time.

Sometimes, there is still a difference between men and women.

At this moment, Yang Chen’s appearance seemed to give her another warm embrace, another safe haven.

"I also know, I know I can’t fall in love with you, I know you are Ye Xin’s husband, but... but... why is this happening? Why?" Wei Xueqing cried, covering her face.

Yang Chen clenched his fists.

As Sun Yue said, some things have already grown unknowingly. Even if you don’t pay attention to them, they still exist and continue to grow.

Unknowingly, they became deeply rooted, and by the time you notice and want to eradicate them, it inevitably causes pain.

Looking at Wei Xueqing, so pitiful and crying so miserably, Yang Chen was also pained. He knew these things couldn’t be blamed on Wei Xueqing, but on himself, for caring too much and getting too involved in her life.

When he realized this and wanted to withdraw, it was already too late.

He originally didn’t want to break this matter apart, after all, who knows what is in someone’s heart. If said directly, it would be awkward, so knowing yet pretending not to until now resulted in today’s trouble.

"I’m sorry!" Yang Chen said in a deep voice, "This is all my fault, it has nothing to do with you. But, Xueqing, I only see you as a good friend. You said I never treated you as a friend, actually, I’ve always seen you as a good friend. You were the first friend I made upon returning to Ningchuan, I cherish you and am grateful for everything your father did for me. But I’m sorry, I only love Ye Xin."

"No! I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to hear it!" Wei Xueqing suddenly covered her ears, shaking her head, and got up to run out.

"Xueqing!" Yang Chen called out hurriedly.
