Chapter 168 Control Your Pace
The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and comfortable, with dim lights and soft music creating a relaxing atmosphere. Meng Yanchen helped Xu Qin pull out a chair, carefully poured her a glass of water, and asked about her situation with concern.
"Are you okay?" His voice was gentle and caring. "You must be frightened by what happened just now."
Xu Qin nodded gently, her heart filled with gratitude and dependence on Meng Yanchen, "I'm fine, it's all because of you."
Meng Yanchen smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with tenderness and love, "I will always protect you, no matter what happens, I will not let you get hurt."
They ordered some simple dishes and began to enjoy them slowly. In this warm atmosphere, their moods gradually calmed down and returned to peace and tranquility.
Meng Yanchen stared at Xu Qin quietly, his heart surging with endless tenderness and love. He knew that his feelings for her had far exceeded ordinary friendship, and he was willing to do everything to protect her and make her happy and healthy.
"Yanchen," Xu Qin suddenly spoke up to break the silence, "I'm very glad to have met you."
A touch of emotion flashed in Meng Yanchen's eyes, and he gently held her hand, "Me too, Xu Qin. In this bustling city, you are my most precious treasure."
In the cozy restaurant, Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin enjoyed a delicious dinner, chatting and laughing. However, he still felt a dull pain in his heart, and the dangerous scene that Xu Qin had just encountered was still lingering in his mind.
"Yanchen, what are you thinking about?" Xu Qin looked at him gently and asked worriedly.
Meng Yanchen smiled slightly, "Nothing, just some things I need to take care of."
Xu Qin gently held his hand, "You can tell me that we are one."
Meng Yanchen felt her warmth and understanding. He looked deeply into her eyes and decided to share his plan with her. "Actually, I've been thinking about something recently, about our future."
"The future?" Xu Qin's eyes flashed with doubt, "Do you mean... our future?"
Meng Yanchen nodded, "Yes, I want to plan our future with you. I have found a better job for us, a place that is more suitable for our development."
Xu Qin looked at him in surprise, "Really? Where is that?"
Meng Yanchen smiled mysteriously, "I want to take you to a new city, where there is a broader space for development, and we can create a better life together."
Xu Qin's heart surged with joy and excitement, "Thank you, Yanchen. I am willing to go anywhere with you."
Meng Yanchen's eyes flashed with determination and resolve, "No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will stay with you forever."
As dinner was over, Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin walked out of the restaurant happily. But at the moment of leaving, Meng Yanchen felt a little uneasy. He felt as if there was something else that needed to be dealt with, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
When they walked to the street, Meng Yanchen suddenly realized that he had forgotten something important - he should call a friend to confirm something. He knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he took out his cell phone and dialed the number.
"Hello, it's me, Yanchen." His voice revealed a hint of nervousness and anxiety, "I need your help to confirm something."
A calm and kind voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yanchen, what's the matter? I can help you at any time."
Meng Yanchen heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that this friend would definitely try his best to help him. "I just ran into some trouble, and I need you to check on someone."
"Okay, give me some information and I'll help you check it right away." The voice on the other end of the phone was full of firmness and determination.
Meng Yanchen told him some key information and then hung up the phone. He felt a little relieved, knowing that he could feel more at ease with this friend helping him.
"What's wrong, Yanchen?" Xu Qin asked curiously, "Is there anything that needs to be dealt with?"
Meng Yanchen smiled slightly, "Nothing, just some trivial matters. But everything will be fine."
Meng Yanchen and Xu Qin were walking on their way home. The streets were still busy, but there was peace and warmth between them. Meng Yanchen felt the warmth in Xu Qin's hands, as if this gentle touch could dispel all the doubts and uneasiness in his heart.
"Yanchen, who did you call just now?" Xu Qin asked curiously. She noticed that Meng Yanchen looked a little serious.
Meng Yanchen smiled gently, "He's just a friend. I asked him to help me check some situations."
Xu Qin nodded. She trusted Meng Yanchen and knew that he would handle anything. "Don't worry too much. No matter what happens, we will face it together."
Meng Yanchen felt Xu Qin's understanding and support, and a stone in his heart seemed to be put down. "Thank you, Xu Qin. With you by my side, I feel stronger."
Their pace gradually slowed down, and they walked leisurely on the street, enjoying the tranquility and fresh air of the night. Under the street lights, their shadows intertwined, as if announcing their close connection with each other.
"Yanchen, what do you think our future will be like?" Xu Qin suddenly asked, her voice revealing a hint of anticipation and uneasiness.
Meng Yanchen stopped and looked deeply into Xu Qin's eyes, as if he wanted to find the answer. "I don't know what the future will be like, but I know we will go through every difficulty together and create our own happiness together."
Xu Qin felt Meng Yanchen's determination and commitment, and a warm current surged in her heart. "I believe in you, Yanchen. No matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side."
When Meng Yanchen heard Xu Qin's words, he stopped and turned to face her. His eyes were gentle and affectionate, as if he wanted to tell her all his thoughts.
"I'm sorry, Xu Qin." There was a hint of apology in his voice, "I know I can be too impulsive sometimes and make decisions too quickly."
Xu Qin shook his head gently, “No, Yanchen, I’m not blaming you. I’m just worried that we’ll miss something important in such a hurry.”
Meng Yanchen understood Xu Qin's concerns. He looked at her deeply and said, "You are right. I will try my best to control my pace. Let's take it slow together."
They stared at each other, their eyes full of understanding and support. At this moment, they seemed to be in sync, and their love for each other deepened.
