Chapter 272 Concern for Xu Qin
Meng Yanchen nodded. Although he felt a little disappointed, he understood Xu Qin's feelings. "I understand, Xu Qin. I will always be by your side. No matter what you need, I will do my best to do it."
Xu Qin's eyes flashed with emotion. She nodded gently and said with a smile: "Thank you, Yanchen. Your support is really important to me."
As time went by, Xu Qin's mood gradually recovered. She and Meng Yanchen became closer, but they always maintained a delicate balance. Meng Yanchen's care and companionship made Xu Qin feel very warm, and she gradually began to rely on him, but she still had some hesitation and uneasiness deep in her heart.
One day, Meng Yanchen received a call from a friend, inviting him to a party. Meng Yanchen hesitated for a moment and decided to take Xu Qin with him. The party was held in a high-end private club with an elegant environment and a lively atmosphere.
When Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin arrived at the club, many people had already gathered. Everyone greeted each other warmly and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Meng Yanchen introduced Xu Qin to his friends, and everyone showed great interest and friendliness towards her.
“Yanchen, it’s really lively here.” Xu Qin said with a smile, a gleam in his eyes.
"Yes, Xu Qin. Relax a little, we will have a good time today." Meng Yanchen responded with a smile, his eyes full of pampering.
Halfway through the party, Meng Yanchen noticed that Xu Qin seemed to be chatting happily with a boy. The boy was his friend, tall, handsome, and humorous. Meng Yanchen watched them talking and laughing, and a sour feeling surged in his heart. He tried to control his emotions and tried not to show them.
"Yanchen, why are you standing here alone?" A friend came over and patted Meng Yanchen on the shoulder.
"Nothing, just taking a look." Meng Yanchen forced a smile, but his eyes involuntarily glanced in the direction of Xu Qin.
The friend followed his gaze, smiled knowingly, patted Meng Yanchen on the shoulder, and whispered, "Yanchen, don't think too much, Xu Qin just wants to make a friend."
Meng Yanchen nodded and tried to calm himself down, but the jealousy and uneasiness in his heart could not be completely dissipated. He knew that what Xu Qin needed now was friends and support, not a new relationship. But whenever he saw her talking happily with other men, he would always feel a strong desire to possess and protect her.
"Yanchen, let's go have a drink and relax." The friend suggested, pulling him towards the bar.
Meng Yanchen forced a smile, followed his friend to the bar, and ordered a glass of wine. He picked up the glass and took a sip, trying to calm his emotions with the help of alcohol.
"How long have you known Xu Qin?" the friend asked, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
"It's been a while." Meng Yanchen replied, his eyes still glancing in Xu Qin's direction from time to time.
"I can see that you care about her a lot." The friend smiled, "But sometimes, caring too much can get you into trouble."
Meng Yanchen frowned slightly. He knew his friend's words made sense, but emotions were not so easy to control. He sighed, raised his glass and clinked it with his friend's.
"I understand what you mean, but I really don't want to see her get hurt again." Meng Yanchen whispered, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
The friend nodded, patted his shoulder, and turned away. Meng Yanchen stood alone in front of the bar, his eyes fell on Xu Qin again. She was still chatting happily with the boy, with a smile on her face. This smile made Meng Yanchen feel a little relieved, but also a little bitter.
A few days later, Meng Yanchen received a call from Song Yan, an old friend of his and Xu Qin's ex-boyfriend. Meng Yanchen knew that Song Yan would not simply call him to reminisce about the past, and he immediately had an ominous premonition.
"Yanchen, can you come out and talk?" Song Yan's voice revealed a hint of fatigue and helplessness.
"Now?" Meng Yanchen frowned. He really didn't want to meet Song Yan, especially when Xu Qin had just come out of the shadow of the breakup.
"Yes, there are things I want to talk to you about." There was a hint of pleading in Song Yan's tone.
Meng Yanchen was silent for a moment, but finally agreed. After all, running away would not solve the problem.
They agreed to meet at a cafe. Meng Yanchen arrived early, his heart full of mixed emotions. He didn't know what Song Yan wanted to say, but he was prepared for the worst.
When Song Yan came in, his face was a little haggard. After he sat down, he ordered a cup of coffee and was silent for a while before speaking: "Yanchen, I know you have a good relationship with Xu Qin. I came to you today to ask you for a favor."
"What help do you need?" Meng Yanchen asked, feeling a little impatient.
"I want to see Xu Qin, but she won't see me." Song Yan's voice was filled with pleading. "I know I've made a lot of mistakes, but I really want to apologize to her and start over with her."
Anger suddenly surged in Meng Yanchen's heart. He tried to calm himself down and said in a cold tone: "Song Yan, Xu Qin has now walked out of your shadow. I don't think she needs to see you again."
Song Yan's eyes flashed with pain, but he still insisted: "Yanchen, I know I did a lot of wrong things in the past, but I really love her. I beg you, give me a chance."
Meng Yanchen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that Song Yan's feelings were real, but he knew even more clearly that what Xu Qin needed most now was peace and stability, not the entanglement of old feelings.
"Song Yan, I understand how you feel, but now is not the right time. Xu Qin has just come out of the shadows and she needs time to recover. Doing this will only make her more painful." There was a hint of determination in Meng Yanchen's voice.
Song Yan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly. "I understand, Yanchen. Thank you for listening to me."
Meng Yanchen nodded and stood up. "Song Yan, I hope you can understand her feelings and respect her choice."
When leaving the cafe, Meng Yanchen felt a little heavy in his heart. He knew that Song Yan's feelings were sincere, but he didn't want to see Xu Qin fall into pain again. He walked on the street, his heart full of concern and care for Xu Qin.
A few days later, Meng Yanchen received a call from Xu Qin. Her voice sounded a little tired, but still with a hint of warmth.
"Yanchen, how have you been lately?" Xu Qin asked, with a hint of concern in her tone.
"I'm fine, Xu Qin. How about you?" Meng Yanchen tried to make his voice sound calm.
