Li Jing knew Guan Wenru was a good person, so she gently shook her head. "Sister Wenru, it's all in the past. I'm doing fine now."
“Don’t lie to me,” Guan Wenru said earnestly, holding her hand. “I really like you. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were destined to be with our Guan family. I’m not here today to force you to reconcile with Hongqi. Relationships are a matter between the two of you, and you can’t force them.”
She paused, looking at Li Jing with sincere eyes, "I promise you, no matter whether you and Hongqi end up together or not, you will always be my friend, Guan Wenru's friend, and a good girl that our Guan family likes and approves of. That will never change."

Guan Wenru looked at her and finally said softly, "I only hope that if... if that silly boy really realizes where he went wrong and can really change, and if the feelings between you are still there... could you, for my sake and for the sake of his clumsy but sincere heart, give him a chance to make amends?

She didn't give a clear answer, but that was the best response she could give.
Guan Wenru knew that Li Jing's heart, which had been tightly closed, had finally been opened a crack.
