Chapter 267 Can be explained
"Xu Qin, you must be very tired today. Take a rest first. If you need anything, feel free to tell me." He said softly.
Xu Qin looked at him gratefully and nodded: "Thank you, Yanchen. Thank you so much."
Meng Yanchen smiled and shook his head: "As long as you are okay. By the way, have you called the police? My wallet and cell phone were stolen, so we have to deal with it."
Xu Qin sighed: "I've called the police, but I don't hold out much hope. Those things are lost, so what? Fortunately, you are here."
Meng Yanchen was touched. He knew that although Xu Qin said so, losing important items must be a blow to her. He reached out and held her hand, saying softly, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Xu Qin nodded, a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes. She leaned on the sofa, feeling Meng Yanchen's warmth, and the fatigue in her heart gradually dissipated.
Time passed by, and the night became darker. Meng Yanchen watched Xu Qin gradually calm down, and he felt much more relaxed. He knew that Xu Qin still had a kind of dependence on him, and he was willing to be the person who could be relied on.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Meng Yanchen got up to open the door and found Song Yan standing outside. She looked a little hesitant, with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Song Yan?" Meng Yanchen was a little surprised. "Why are you here so late?"
Song Yan forced a smile and said, "Yanchen, I was a little worried about you, so I came to see you."
Meng Yanchen asked her to come in, and as soon as Song Yan entered the room, she saw Xu Qin sitting on the sofa. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Xu Qin, are you okay?" Song Yan walked over and asked with concern.
Xu Qin nodded: "I'm fine, thank you."
Meng Yanchen looked at the two important women, and couldn't help feeling a little complicated. He knew that he hadn't completely let go of his feelings, but at this moment, he could only look at them quietly and pray silently that everything could return to the starting point.
It was late at night. After Song Yan left, Meng Yanchen helped Xu Qin make the bed and let her rest in the guest room. Xu Qin lay on the bed, exhausted, but felt a little relieved. She knew that no matter what happened, Meng Yanchen would be by her side, and she was willing to believe that this relationship could overcome all difficulties and obstacles.
Meng Yanchen lay on the bed, thinking about a lot of things. Xu Qin rested quietly in the guest room, but his heart could not calm down. Although he kept telling himself to be calm and understanding, the resentment in his heart was devouring him all the time.
He repeatedly recalled the scene when Xu Qin left. Those cold words and resolute back pierced his heart like a knife. Why? Why could she leave so easily? Could everything between them be given up in her eyes?
"Xu Qin, what are you thinking?" Meng Yanchen whispered to himself, with a trace of pain and confusion in his eyes.
He barely slept that night. Xu Qin's figure, her smile, her tears, and her unhesitating back as she left kept appearing in his mind. These memories intertwined and kept him awake all night.
The next morning, after Meng Yanchen got up, he saw Xu Qin busy in the kitchen. She looked much more energetic and smiled when she saw him.
"Good morning, Yanchen. I made breakfast, let's eat together." Xu Qin said gently, as if there had never been that painful separation between them.
Meng Yanchen nodded, but his heart was still full of doubts and confusion. He didn't know how to face Xu Qin, nor how to deal with the resentment in his heart. They sat at the dining table, eating breakfast in silence, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
"Xu Qin, I have something to ask you." Meng Yanchen finally broke the silence, his voice low.
Xu Qin raised her head and looked at him: "What's the matter?"
"Why did you leave me so decisively?" Meng Yanchen looked directly into her eyes, with a hint of pain in his voice, "Do you know how painful this is for me?"
Xu Qin's face turned a little pale. She lowered her head and was silent for a moment before she said softly, "Yanchen, we were both too young back then. You had your pursuits, and I... I just felt that we were no longer suitable for each other."
Meng Yanchen clenched his fists, with a flash of anger in his eyes: "So you chose to leave without even a little explanation? Do you know how painful it is for me?"
Xu Qin's eyes also flashed with tears. She bit her lip and whispered, "I'm sorry, Yanchen. I know I owe you an explanation, but I really didn't know how to face you at that time."
"What about now?" Meng Yanchen's voice trembled a little, "What do you think now?"
Xu Qin took a deep breath, finally raised her head and looked straight at him: "Yanchen, I know I have done a lot of things wrong, but can we try to start over? I don't want to escape anymore."
Meng Yanchen looked at her, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He loved her, hated her, wanted to start over, but was afraid of getting hurt again. He knew he had to make a decision, but it was a difficult decision for him.
"Xu Qin, I don't know..." He whispered, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, "I really don't know."
Xu Qin reached out and held his hand, her eyes full of sincerity: "Yanchen, I am willing to try to mend the rift between us. I know it's difficult, but I am willing to work hard."
Meng Yanchen felt the warmth in her palm, and the resentment in his heart seemed to slowly dissipate. He knew that he had to make a choice, whether to start over or let it go completely.
Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly. Meng Yanchen stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and saw a strange man standing there with a nervous look.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Meng Yanchen's home?" the man asked.
Meng Yanchen nodded: "Yes, who are you?"
"I'm Xu Qin's friend, and her things are with me. Her things were stolen yesterday, so I'm helping her keep some important items temporarily." The man explained, handing a bag to Meng Yanchen.
Meng Yanchen took the bag, and his doubts deepened. Why were Xu Qin's things in this man's hands? He looked back at Xu Qin and found that her face was a little pale and she was obviously uneasy.
"Yanchen, I can explain..." Xu Qin's voice trembled a little.
Meng Yanchen was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Come in, we need to talk."
The man entered the room, and Xu Qin stood up, her eyes full of mixed emotions. Meng Yanchen put his bag on the table, looked at her quietly, and waited for her explanation.
