If only he had comforted her sooner back then, telling her his thoughts, perhaps she wouldn't have impulsively married someone else.
But she was already married, maybe there was no turning back now...
It was all because of him that Hai Lan was in this mess!
It was all his fault...
Wei Zhijie was overwhelmed with self-blame and pain throughout the journey, even imagining a bunch of scenarios where if Hai Lan ended up in a pitiful state, how he would come to her aid and support her.
He even had a thought.
If Hai Lan wasn't doing well in the future, maybe, he could offer her a place to stay.
However, he couldn't give her a proper status, because he would be marrying Yun Shan as his wife.
But by that time, Hai Lan might only need his comfort and help, and perhaps she wouldn't care about status anymore.
Thinking about the future, where he could take care of both Yun Shan and Hai Lan for the rest of their lives, Wei Zhijie felt a surge of manly pride and sense of responsibility!
