Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"Qing Qing, how are you? I am so sorry I was not here when everything happened.", she saw Su Lang rushing towards her.

*Oh, so they both came for her?*

Tears started flowing from her eyes at this point. She felt so relieved to see the two people she had wished would come help her. The guys panicked seeing her in this state. Yu Tian hugged Mei Qingyang, glaring at Su Lang for making her cry. Su Lang did not give a f*ck about Yu Tian right now, he was just worried for his little sister.

Somewhere along the way, he had really started treating her as his little sister. If only she would act like one. Nonetheless, he wanted to spoil her to the core. But just because neither he nor Yu Tian were present today, that witch decided to strike. How dared she harm one of his people? His blood boiled with rage on thinking that.

"I… I am sorry, it seems like all I do is cry in front of you guys.", Mei Qingyang tried lifting her hand to wipe her tears but in vain. Every part of her body was in cutting pain. She then tried to see where she was and analyze her situation. They were still in the same cell, it seemed to be nighttime outside. There was a full bright moon in the sky, visible from a very small window in the room and casting a patch of light on the floor. There were no other lights around.

Yu Tian had covered her with a thick coat. No wonder she was not feeling cold anymore. So, he had seen everything. She felt another heartache. At least they were not abandoning her just because of her ugly body. She realized she was basically lying in Yu Tian's arms. He was supporting her head on one arm while his other hand was holding her tightly. He was kneeling down on the cold dirty floor with her in his arms

Su Lang came forward and wiped her tears for her delicately, as if, if he used more force, it would leave a scar on her face.

"You can always show us your vulnerable side Qing Qing. When I promised your dad to take care of you, it was just not mere words, I meant it. I am so sorry you had to go through this.", Su Lang stroked her hair lovingly, also voicing Yu Tian's thoughts. He nodded in agreement.

"Qing… Qing. Finally she saw the female in the dark. Fan Ruyi was standing behind them, nervous and hesitant. She knew she did wrong but her rage and jealousy did end up making a disaster for this poor girl.

"Senior Fan.", Mei Qingyang said coldly as if she wanted to put daggers in this traitor's heart just with her voice. The coldness in her voice sent chills even through Su Lang's and Yu Tian's spines. Mei Qingyang found a new strength in her body. She would never ever be a weak girl in front of this person.

"Qing Qing, I am so sorry, it was all my fault, I could not protect you.", Fan Ruyi knelt in front of her shedding tears as she apologized.

"Yes, you probably had no idea this would happen, did you?", Mei Qingyang sat up straight, tugging the coat tightly towards her body and sitting in a comfortable position. Yu Tian supported her back from behind, never leaving his hand from her back. Mei Qingyang felt reassured by this. Fan Ruyi could not meet this girl's eyes, her whole body was full of guilt.

After she came to know what had happened to the servant girl, she had started fearing if Mei Qingyang would have the same fate as that girl. She had known from the start that she was not doing it right. But she was also afraid to confront Feng Yue because she did not want to hear about his feelings for his ex-fiancée.

But after the incident, she had gone to see Feng Yue. He had refused to meet her, or anyone as a matter of fact, at first. But when she told him what had happened to Mei Qingyang, he had come out immediately to answer her questions. He clarified that she had rejected him but he could not even go to see or save her because he had lost the right. Feng Yue's assistant thanked her profusely as he had locked himself since that day in his room, refusing to come out and even eat properly. So, he still carried the torch for her after brutal rejection.

Of course hearing the truth, she realized what a blunder she committed. She went against her only female friend, even knowing her innocence in her heart. She was enraged to begin with and that Gu Layue fanned the flames of envy in her heart making her lose her rationality. Now that she saw what this girl turned into just because of her, she just wanted to drown herself somewhere.

Mei Qingyang stared at Fan Ruyi's pitiful state. But this time the girl had gone too far. There was no guarantee that this won't repeat if emotions took over her again. It was going to take quite some time for Feng Yue to recover. If people kept taking advantage of Fan Ruyi like this, it would be better to cut her ties with her. She felt mean at that point since she had used Fan Ruyi's help many times before. But with all the wounds she received today, she felt they had become even. She had paid the price of trusting this girl and taking help from Fan Ruyi with her body.

"It's okay senior Fan, I understand. You were made to choose between two things no? I am glad you turned out to be loyal to your friends rather than me. If you had chosen me, I probably would have looked down upon you.", Mei Qingyang continued in her heart wrenchingly chilling voice.

"How… how did you know that?", Fan Ruyi looked at the pale girl in surprise. This was the first time Mei Qingyang got to take a look at her face. The girl's face was tear stained. She must have cried while heading here as well.

"Because that assistant of yours there, my brother Z, would not have let you do anything wrong if it was not the case.", she smiled while pointing at the back, outside the jail bars.
