The competition continued, the two of them played back and forth, the sounds of the piano intertwined. Everyone on the side was amazed, they had never seen such a wonderful competition. And in this competition, the relationship between Qin Wenyuan and Sheng Yunrong was also quietly changing.

"Mr. Qin, I lost." Sheng Yunrong finally put down the zither and looked at Qin Wenyuan with a smile. Her eyes were full of relief.

"Ms. Sheng, you didn't lose. We just returned to our respective positions." Qin Wenyuan smiled gently, with a hint of warmth in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong smiled and nodded, her eyes full of gratitude.

Qin Wenyuan's eyes revealed a deep fear, and he stared at Sheng Yunrong closely, as if he was trying to find the answer he didn't want to accept from her eyes. Sheng Yunrong sat there quietly, with a calm determination in her eyes.

"Wenyuan, you finally understand." Sheng Yunrong's voice was soft, but with unquestionable determination.

Qin Wenyuan's lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out. His heart was full of doubts and fears, and he couldn't understand why Sheng Yunrong made such a decision.

"You...why are you doing this?" Qin Wenyuan squeezed out these words with difficulty.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, and there was a kind of sad beauty in that smile. "Wenyuan, do you still remember the day we got married? You vowed to protect me, love me, and never separate from me. But you broke your vow."

Qin Wenyuan's face turned even paler. He thought of that beautiful day and the vows he had made to each other, and his heart was filled with guilt.

"I...I..." Qin Wenyuan wanted to defend himself, but couldn't find the right words.

Sheng Yunrong continued, "Wenyuan, I know you feel guilty, but that can't make up for the pain in my heart. I wanted to leave quietly, but I don't want you to continue living in lies. I want you to know that I, Sheng Yunrong, am not someone you can abandon at will."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed with panic. He suddenly stood up, walked to Sheng Yunrong, and bowed deeply. "Yunrong, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to spend my whole life to make up for it. Please forgive me and give me a chance."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Wenyuan, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she soon regained her composure. "Wenyuan, do you think an apology can make up for everything? Do you think I will still trust you without reservation like before?"

Qin Wenyuan's body trembled slightly. He looked at Sheng Yunrong with helplessness in his eyes.

At this time, other people in the Qin Mansion also rushed to the study. They looked at Qin Wenyuan and Sheng Yunrong and couldn't help holding their breath.

"Madam, please don't misunderstand. My young master really did it unintentionally." The Qin family's housekeeper came in and tried to defend Qin Wenyuan.

Sheng Yunrong glanced at the housekeeper coldly and said indifferently: "Housekeeper, I know you are a good person, but I must solve this matter myself."

The butler sighed helplessly and stopped talking.

Qin Wenyuan looked at Sheng Yunrong with pleading eyes. "Yunrong, I know I was wrong. I am willing to give up everything. I just ask you to give me a chance."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Qin Wenyuan, with a hint of struggle in her eyes.

"Wenyuan, there's no going back between us." After saying this, Sheng Yunrong turned and left the study.

Qin Wenyuan looked at Sheng Yunrong's back, his heart filled with pain.

"Sheng Yunrong!" Qin Wenyuan was anxious, his eyes revealing a concern that could not be concealed.

Sheng Yunrong slowly raised her head and glanced at Qin Wenyuan, but she did not linger on him for long, and turned to look at her father, Master Sheng. A hint of complex emotions flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

The atmosphere in the hall of Sheng Mansion became tense. Mr. Sheng sat in the main seat, his face gloomy as water, staring at Qin Wenyuan with a sharp gaze. Sheng Yunrong stood aside, with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

"Qin Wenyuan, what do you mean?" Master Sheng's tone was cold, and his voice revealed unquestionable majesty.

Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He turned to Sheng Yunrong and said sincerely, "Miss Sheng, I, Qin Wenyuan, was indeed wrong about what happened back then, but my feelings have never changed. I came here today to ask for your forgiveness and hope that we can reconcile."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes: "Mr. Qin, do you think this Sheng Mansion is your backyard, where you can come and go as you please? What happened back then has long become the past, why do you have to mention it again?"

Qin Wenyuan's face turned ugly. He gritted his teeth and continued, "Miss Sheng, I know I betrayed you back then, but that was because I misunderstood something. Now that the truth is out, I am willing to spend the rest of my life to make up for my mistakes."

Master Sheng snorted coldly and interrupted Qin Wenyuan: "Qin Wenyuan, do you think you are still qualified to talk about making amends? You abandoned Yunrong and married someone else back then, and now you come to apologize hypocritically. Do you think the Sheng Mansion is a place you can play with at will?"

Qin Wenyuan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. Sheng Yunrong looked at him, with mixed emotions in her heart. Qin Wenyuan's betrayal had caused her great harm. But now, she had already let go of the past and was concentrating on running the Sheng Mansion, no longer troubled by the past.

"Father, since Young Master Qin is here, let's let him sit down and talk." Sheng Yunrong said softly, with a hint of unwillingness in her tone.

Master Sheng hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. The servants quickly brought a chair, and after Qin Wenyuan sat down, he still secretly observed Sheng Yunrong's expression from time to time.

"Mr. Qin, do you have any explanation for what happened back then?" Sheng Yunrong asked, looking at Qin Wenyuan calmly.

Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath and began to speak slowly: "Back then, I made a wrong decision in anger because I misunderstood the relationship between Miss Sheng and others. Later, I realized that I was wrong, but it was irreversible. Over the years, I have been reflecting on my mistakes and feel guilty."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her face: "Mr. Qin, I accept your explanation. But the past is the past, and we can never go back to the past. Are you happy with your life now?"

Qin Wenyuan's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head gently: "Miss Sheng, I am not living a good life now. I miss you all the time, and the good times we had. I know that I am no longer qualified to expect your forgiveness, but as long as I can watch you from afar, I will be satisfied."

A complex emotion flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes. She looked at Qin Wenyuan with endless emotion in her heart. She once loved him so much and gave everything for him, but in the end she was betrayed and hurt. She smiled and said softly: "Mr. Qin, life is always full of variables. We must learn to face reality and cherish the people in front of us."

Mr. Sheng looked at the two of them and felt some emotion in his heart.
