"Sheng Yunrong, what exactly do you want to say?" Ling Meng raised her voice a few degrees, and she tried to make her tone sound more determined.

Sheng Yunrong spoke slowly: "Lingmeng, you should know that the pagoda of Sheng Mansion is not just a place to hide treasures, it is also the soul of Sheng Mansion. And as the eldest daughter of Sheng Mansion, I have the responsibility to protect this soul."

A trace of fear flashed in Lingmeng's eyes. She knew what Sheng Yunrong meant by "soul". The pagoda of Sheng Mansion sealed the wisdom and power of the ancestors of Sheng Mansion. Once the pagoda was destroyed, the foundation of Sheng Mansion would be shaken.

"Sheng Yunrong, are you...are you threatening me?" Ling Meng's voice trembled slightly.

Sheng Yunrong shook her head gently: "No, Lingmeng, I am just telling you a fact. The pagoda of Sheng Mansion is the foundation of my Sheng Mansion, and I will not let it be threatened in any way."

Ling Meng clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with resentment and anger: "Sheng Yunrong, do you think you can stop me by yourself? I tell you, I have the support of the entire Sheng Mansion behind me."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, but her eyes were filled with unquestionable determination: "Lingmeng, do you think the people in Sheng Mansion are blind? Can't they see your true face?"

Ling Meng's face turned pale instantly. She knew that Sheng Yunrong was telling the truth. The people in Sheng's house were all smart and capable, and they would not be easily deceived.

"Sheng Yunrong, just wait, I won't let you go just like that!" Ling Meng gritted her teeth, her voice full of resentment.

Sheng Yunrong shook her head gently: "Lingmeng, you have already lost. The pagoda of Sheng Mansion is not something you can get your hands on. You should think about how to redeem yourself."

"Who... are you?" Qin Wenyuan looked at her in surprise and doubt, with an indescribable complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and that smile was indifferent and noble, as if isolating her from the mundane world. She slowly walked in front of Qin Wenyuan, with an unquestionable firmness in her eyes: "I am Sheng Yunrong, the eldest lady of the Sheng family, you should already know."

Qin Wenyuan was stunned. He remembered Sheng Yunrong, the woman who was once gentle, kind, and innocent. But the one standing in front of him now was clearly a cold, noble, and extraordinary woman. The shock in his heart could not be described in words, and he could only stare at her blankly.

"Qin Wenyuan, do you still remember the time we had together?" Sheng Yunrong asked softly, with a hint of sadness in her tone.

Qin Wenyuan's heart trembled, and those beautiful memories came flooding back to him. He remembered that they were still a couple at that time, loving each other and carefree. However, a sudden change caused them to part ways from then on.

"I remember, how could I forget?" Qin Wenyuan murmured, with guilt in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, warming people's hearts. She gently held Qin Wenyuan's hand, her eyes full of determination: "So, are you willing to go back to the past with me and revisit those good times?"

Qin Wenyuan was stunned. He looked at Sheng Yunrong with a trace of struggle in his eyes. He knew that there was no going back between them and their life trajectory had changed. However, facing Sheng Yunrong's request, he could not refuse.

"I...I do." Qin Wenyuan said with difficulty, his eyes full of anticipation.

Sheng Yunrong smiled, patted Qin Wenyuan's hand gently, and then turned to walk towards the gate of Sheng Mansion. Qin Wenyuan followed closely behind her, his heart full of excitement.

Inside the Sheng Mansion, the news of Sheng Yunrong and Qin Wenyuan's reunion quickly spread throughout the mansion. Everyone in the Sheng Mansion came to greet them and congratulate them on their reunion. Sheng Yunrong's father, Lord Sheng, also came out to greet them in person.

Lord Sheng and Qin Wenyuan reminisced about the past, and were filled with emotion. He looked at Sheng Yunrong and Qin Wenyuan, and couldn't help but think of their past. He secretly sighed that time flies, and everything is changing. The only thing that remains unchanged is the relationship between Sheng Yunrong and Qin Wenyuan.

As night fell, the lights in Sheng Mansion were bright. Sheng Yunrong and Qin Wenyuan had dinner together under the arrangement of the master of Sheng Mansion. At the table, the two sat opposite each other and talked to each other about the ups and downs of these years.

Sheng Yunrong's eyes were sparkling with crystal tears. She looked at Qin Wenyuan and said softly, "Qin Wenyuan, I have been waiting for you all these years, waiting for you to come back. Now, we are finally reunited. I want you to know that my heart always belongs to you."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes also welled up with tears. He held Sheng Yunrong's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Yunrong, I have been waiting for you, waiting for you to come back to me. Now, we are finally reunited, I want you to know that in my heart, there is only you."

The two looked at each other in silence, holding hands tightly and letting their tears flow.

…

Sheng Yunrong bit her lip lightly, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She straightened her back, looked at Qin Wenyuan, and said calmly: "Qin Wenyuan, do you think I'm just a young lady who lives in the boudoir?"

Qin Wenyuan frowned. He had never thought that this gentle and virtuous woman in front of him would have such a determined look.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with a hint of sadness in her smile: "I used to be the person in your heart, but now, I am the eldest daughter of the Sheng Mansion and the heir of the Sheng Mansion."

Qin Wenyuan was shocked. He remembered that although the Sheng family was powerful, Sheng Yunrong was a woman and it was impossible for her to inherit the family business. He looked at Sheng Yunrong in confusion and asked, "According to the tradition of the Sheng family, women cannot inherit the family business. You..."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes were firm as she interrupted him: "That's because I wasn't there before, but now I'm here."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes turned red when he saw Tu Subo standing in the corridor and not coming down.

A complex emotion surged in his heart. Sheng Yunrong noticed his strangeness, looked in the direction of his gaze, and couldn't help but frowned.

Sheng Yunrong opened her red lips and said calmly, "Qin Wenyuan, since you have left the Sheng Mansion, you should know that this is no longer your home. As a distinguished guest of the Sheng Mansion, Tu Subo is naturally qualified to be here."

Qin Wenyuan suppressed the pain in his heart and tried to appear calm. He coughed lightly and replied, "Miss, I understand. But, I do have something I want to discuss with Mr. Tu Subo. I wonder if I can have a word with you for a moment?"

Tu Subo smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He looked at Sheng Yunrong, as if asking for her opinion. Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, indicating her agreement. So Tu Subo nodded to Qin Wenyuan, indicating that he should follow.

The four of them came to the garden of Sheng Mansion, where the scenery was peaceful and beautiful, with flowers blooming everywhere. Qin Wenyuan looked at this once familiar scene, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. He secretly told himself that this time he came here for his future and couldn't indulge in the past anymore.
