Qin Wenyuan smiled slightly and said, "Miss Sheng, I believe in your integrity. Moreover, the Sheng family has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness in the world, so I am naturally willing to entrust the mine affairs to you."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with approval, and she said, "In that case, tell me the details of this mine."

Qin Wenyuan nodded and began to explain in detail the mine's geographical location, mineral distribution and mining methods. Sheng Yunrong listened attentively and nodded from time to time, obviously very interested in this mine.

At this time, Sheng Yunrong's personal maid Cui'er came in with a plate of snacks in her hands. She put it on the table and said softly, "Miss, please have some snacks. Don't be hungry."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Cui'er, you should come and listen too. This is a major event related to the future of the Sheng Mansion."

Cui'er's cheeks turned red, but she did not refuse and stood quietly behind Sheng Yunrong.

When the conversation got excited, Sheng Yunrong suddenly interrupted and said, "Qin Wenyuan, I understand what you said. However, I have a question. Can this mine really bring such a huge profit?"

Qin Wenyuan thought for a moment and said, "Miss Sheng, I can assure you that as long as we invest enough money and manpower, the mine will definitely bring rich returns. Moreover, the location of this mine is relatively secret and not easily discovered by outsiders. We can mine it secretly to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she said: "Okay, in this case, I will agree to your request. However, I want to go to the mine myself to take a look. You get ready, and we will set off in three days."

Qin Wenyuan was overjoyed and quickly nodded and agreed: "Miss Sheng, I will make all the necessary preparations to ensure your safety."

Sheng Yunrong collected her thoughts and said, "Qin Wenyuan, please leave first. I need to think carefully about this mine."

Qin Wenyuan bowed slightly and walked out.

Three days later, Sheng Yunrong led a capable team and set off for the mine. In this team, Qin Wenyuan was particularly conspicuous. The relationship between them would undergo subtle changes during this trip to the mine.

…

Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly, and a trace of imperceptible fatigue flashed in her eyes. She bit her lip lightly, and forced a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, as if to tell Qin Wenyuan that she was no longer the woman who was easily moved by sweet words.

"Qin Wenyuan, do you think your sweet words can still move me as easily as before?" Sheng Yunrong's tone was calm, but revealed a hint of unquestionable firmness.

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed with surprise, but then he regained his composure. He smiled gently, with a hint of helplessness in his smile, but he also showed his grace: "Miss Sheng, I know I made mistakes in the past, but I sincerely hope that we can start over."

The atmosphere in the living room of Sheng Mansion became tense. The maids around Sheng Yunrong lowered their heads and dared not breathe. Sheng Yunrong's younger brother Sheng Yunming watched the scene with curiosity, as if he was expecting something.

"Start over?" Sheng Yunrong chuckled, but her eyes were full of disdain. "Qin Wenyuan, do you think that if you say start over, I will forgive you as easily as before?"

Qin Wenyuan's expression became a little embarrassed, and he tried to explain: "I understand that what I did in the past disappointed you, but I have changed. I now wholeheartedly want to make up for the mistakes of the past."

Sheng Yunrong looked at him coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Qin Wenyuan, do you think your change will make me accept you again? Do you think your sweet words can still impress me?"

Qin Wenyuan was silent for a moment, with a trace of struggle in his eyes. He sighed deeply, then slowly said: "I know that I may never have the chance to make you fall in love with me again. But I sincerely hope that we can become friends, at least not like now, where we meet like strangers."

Sheng Yunrong's expression relaxed slightly, but she remained indifferent: "Qin Wenyuan, do you think there is still a possibility for us to be friends?"

Qin Wenyuan nodded: "I believe that as long as we put aside the grudges of the past, we can still be friends."

At this time, Sheng Yunrong's maid Xiao Cui couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Mr. Qin, what you did in the past has caused so much harm to the young lady. Do you really think that an apology can make up for it all?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled bitterly: "I know that nothing I say can make up for the mistakes of the past. But I am willing to spend my whole life to make up for these mistakes."

Sheng Yunrong looked at him, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She sighed softly, and then said: "Qin Wenyuan, you said it very well. But I am no longer the woman who is easily moved. Between us, we can never go back to the past."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he quickly regained his composure. He bowed deeply and said, "Miss Sheng, I understand. I will respect whatever decision you make. But please believe me, I will spend my whole life to make up for my past mistakes."

Sheng Yunrong didn't say anything else. She just looked at him calmly with an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

Sheng Yunming couldn't help but break the silence: "Mr. Qin, in fact, my sister has always been very strong. She doesn't need other people's comfort or pity. She just needs someone who really understands her."

Qin Wenyuan looked at Sheng Yunming, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He nodded: "I will remember your words, and I will try to become someone who truly understands her."

Sheng Yunrong waved her hand gently, indicating that Qin Wenyuan could leave. Qin Wenyuan bowed deeply again, then turned and left.

…

Sheng Yunrong's eyes sparkled with intelligence, and she gently waved her hand, motioning Qin Wenyuan to sit down in front of her. In the living room of Sheng's mansion, the mahogany furniture exuded a faint fragrance, and the screen was embroidered with exquisite landscape paintings, a room full of elegance and tranquility.

"Wenyuan, I know what you are thinking. What you said is just to make me let go of the past and start over." Sheng Yunrong's voice was soft, but with unquestionable firmness.

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. After sitting down, he sighed deeply: "Yes, Miss Sheng, I do mean that. The past has become an indelible scar in our hearts, but I hope that we can try to heal it."

Sheng Yunrong smiled, with a hint of sadness in her smile: "Healing? That's easier said than done. But since you're here, tell me your plan."

Qin Wenyuan was silent for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then slowly said: "I plan to restart my career, I would like to ask you, Miss Sheng, to help me."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes lit up slightly, and she seemed to be interested in Qin Wenyuan's plan: "Oh? How do you plan to start?"
