The Sixth Grand Duke's eyes darkened, "You are already that old demon's friend. This is a matter between you two. Just go and ask him."

I was overjoyed, "So even I can know, right? In that case, what does it matter if you just tell me directly?"

My dad still had the nerve to choke me, "Didn't my uncle just say that the rules were left down by our ancestors? You are asking us to disobey our ancestors!"

Unexpectedly, there was a deep meaning in the eyes of the Sixth Grand Duke, "Go and ask that old demon. This is also providing you with an opportunity to get along. You must know how to seize it yourself."

"Eh? Opportunity?" But I don't need the opportunity to get along with Ci Yuan. I am afraid of avoiding him now. How can I take the initiative to create opportunities and seize them?

Liu Taigong spoke earnestly and thoughtfully, "Girl Luan, you are different from all the previous sacrifices. You may be his last sacrifice and save the future generations of women of the Shen family."

My eyes widened in surprise, "Grandpa, do you want me to find a way to make him truly fall in love with me, so that I will be the only woman from now on?"

The Sixth Grand Duke didn't speak, so wouldn't that be acquiescence?

I can't believe that he really thought like this, "Grandpa, are you kidding me? That's a monster that can only live for a long time, and I'm just a mortal."

The Sixth Grand Duke shook his head, "Mortal life is indeed limited, but they can still exist after death. As long as he is willing, you can always follow him."

My dad answered in a rude tone, "This is a good idea. As expected of my uncle, I just don't know if Luan girl has this ability!"

The Sixth Grand Duke glared at him, "She doesn't have this ability, do you? Her eyes are just like decorations, and she still has the nerve to talk about others."

My dad shut up angrily. He has been scolded a lot recently, but I don’t sympathize with him at all. He was left to suffer it himself.

The Sixth Grand Duke looked at me earnestly, "Girl Luan, I know this is a very difficult thing, but it is also a rare opportunity for our Shen family."

Facing such an elder, I couldn't refuse, "I understand and I will work hard, but I can't guarantee the result. After all, you all know how difficult it is."

The Sixth Grand Duke smiled and nodded, "I know you are a good boy, so we won't force you, just do your best and obey fate, and be clear in your heart."

During the meal, we explained clearly the results of Lin Wan's investigation. There was no need to stay here any longer, and we prepared to go home.

In the car going home, my dad asked me, "Do you really want me to divorce Wanwan?"

I sat in the back seat because Lin Wan always sat in the passenger seat. "I really wanted it when I was a kid, but I don't think so when I grow up."

My dad couldn't be too naive, "Why? After more than ten years of getting along with her, you discovered that she is actually a nice person and you have feelings for her?"

I broke his dream rudely, "You are overthinking, I just don't care anymore. You can't count on me anyway, so why should I bother myself?"

My dad still protects Lin Wan, "You are as cold-blooded and ruthless as Shen Qingyang. Anyway, Wan Wan has taken care of you for more than ten years and has never beaten or abused you."

I have long been disappointed with him, "My grandpa is right, you are indeed blind. Our brothers and sisters were brought up by the nanny. Lin Wan just didn't abuse us."

My dad raised his voice, "Then what else do you want?"

I sneered and asked, "Do you think that as a mother, you have fulfilled your responsibility by not abusing your children?"

My dad was choked, but he was still struggling, "That's because you didn't give her a chance!"

"Opportunities are earned by oneself, not given by others. Lin Wan is a spy. Are you sure you still want to protect her like this?"

"I...forget it, let's not talk about her then. You don't need to go to your mother-in-law to announce the complaint. I know what to do next."

"It's good that you know. If you have this free time to quarrel with me, why not think about it carefully in the future. For example, do you still have the nerve to be the young head of the Shen family?"

"I've thought about this a long time ago. You don't need to worry about it. The eggs are not finished when the nest is overturned. Don't think that if I have a hard time, you will have a good time."

"You are overthinking it again. I am a sacrifice of the Shen family. I have made sacrifices for the Shen family and brought hope. Why can't I live a better life than you?"

My dad was speechless. With the death of his great-grandfather and grandfather, he lost two of his backers. Now he has made a big mistake. What hope does he have for the future?

***

When I got home, I wanted to talk to Shen Qingyang about Lin Wan, but he didn't come back yet.

I took a shower and sat on the bed, and began to think carefully about the feasibility of what the Sixth Grandfather said. After all, although I agreed, I was not sure.

Judging from my experience with Ci Yuan, he is not a heartless monster, otherwise he would not always be obsessed with that Xuan'er.

But precisely because he is obsessed with me, it is even more difficult for him to fall in love with me. The key is that I don’t want to have feelings for him yet.

He has experience in relationships. If I am being hypocritical, it will be easy for him to see through it, and the consequences will be disastrous.

what to do?

Can I only exchange my sincerity for his true love?

I am emotionally opposed to doing this, but rationally I agree, not only for the Shen family, but also for my own future.

Since she is destined to be his woman for the rest of her life, it would be better to have feelings instead of just being a sacrifice.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to be more proactive with Ci Yuan, create opportunities first, and then seize them.

So I picked up the little conch and sent him a few voice messages. Even my voice was a little gentler than usual.

After sending it, I took a look at my phone. It was already past eleven o'clock, and Shen Qingyang hadn't come to ask me about Lin Wan yet.

Why did his work suddenly become so busy? Not only did he have to work overtime every day, but he also worked overtime until so late. Isn't it too hard?

The Blazing Dog was lying aside, and I pulled it over and held it in my arms, "Sen Zai, do you feel that something is not right with my brother recently?"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." It responded to me, but unfortunately I was not Ciyuan and couldn't understand it.

I said something was wrong with Shen Qingyang, not because he worked overtime frequently, but because he no longer cared as much about me and other things as before.

I know he is tired from working overtime like this and doesn't have as much energy to pay attention to other people and things as before, but I just feel something is wrong.

Since I, Ci Yuan, never like to reply to messages, I didn’t plan to listen to that little conch tonight, but he came over just as I was about to go to bed.

Ci Yuan seemed a little disappointed, "Don't you welcome me?"

I quickly shook my head in denial, "No, I just didn't expect you to come so soon."

Ci Yuan sat down on the edge of the bed, "I never expected that you would take the initiative to contact me when nothing happened."

I thought about the opportunity Taigong said, "Actually, it's not nothing. I want to know the big secret of the Shen family, but Taigong and the others are unwilling to tell."
