I definitely can't say it was my grandpa who asked me to do this. Wouldn't that be betraying him?

But I used his reason, "The Shen family's secrets are passed down from male to female, but I am your woman now, and that is a matter between us."

Ci Yuan's expression became subtle, "Now do you know that you are my woman?"

I felt quite shameless, "Isn't it shameful for me to do this? If you hate it, just pretend I didn't say anything..."

Ci Yuan interrupted me, "Yes, this behavior is indeed shameless, but because it's you, I don't mind."

"Really? Thank you, you are so kind." I thought he would refuse, after all, I condemned my shameless behavior.

Ci Yuan chuckled, "Ha... only when you need my help and I satisfy you, will you praise me."

What he said made me feel even more guilty, and my face started to heat up, "Well... you can't praise for no reason, right? There has to be a reason."

Ci Yuan quickly got into bed, "It's too late today. If you are free tomorrow, no matter how much I satisfy your curiosity, you will not be too excited to fall asleep."

This means that I can still see him tomorrow. Isn't that the opportunity I want? Of course I happily agreed, "Okay, okay."

Until I turned off the lights, Shen Qingyang didn't come to see me, or even send me a message. This doesn't seem to be explained by working overtime, right?

No matter how busy he is, he won't even have time to send a message. It seems that I need to ask him what's going on recently.

***

The next morning.

I opened my eyes and didn't see Ci Yuan, so I thought he had broken his promise.

As a result, he went to the bathroom to wash up and came out to see the usually noisy Blazing Dog sitting on a chair lying obediently at his feet.

Since I want to find a way to make him fall in love with me, I naturally have a better attitude, "Good morning, I thought you were gone."

Ci Yuan spoke calmly, "I said that I would tell you the secrets of the Shen family today. If you want to go to school, I will tell you in the evening."

His attitude was much better than before. I was flattered and said, "No, no, I have no classes this morning. I will go to school after lunch."

Ci Yuan kicked the blazing dog beside his feet in a slightly bored tone, "Then you go down and have breakfast first. I'll be waiting for you here."

I originally wanted to take advantage of his good attitude today and bring up the matter of letting Shen Qingyang see him again, but thinking that Shen Qingyang had to go to work, I gave it up temporarily.

When I came to the restaurant downstairs, I only saw my dad sitting there alone, so I asked the nanny who was setting breakfast aside, "Auntie, where is my brother?"

The aunt smiled and replied, "The young master didn't come back last night."

I was quite surprised, "Staying awake all night?"

My dad seemed to have caught Shen Qingyang's hand, "I don't know what I am doing day by day. Being a clerk is even busier than me."

Of course I defended Shen Qingyang, "My brother is willing to start from the grassroots level on his own, unlike you, who relies on the family to become a senior executive. How can you have the face to criticize him?"

My dad obviously hasn't gotten used to Lin Wan's new identity yet, "You two are debt collectors. If I had known better, I shouldn't have wronged Wan Wan and married your mother first."

I tapped my fingers on the dining table a few times, "Are you sure you want to talk about Lin Wan?"

My dad glanced at the aunt next to him and said, "If you don't eat, I will be angry with you early in the morning. With such a traitor like you, I will be angry to death sooner or later."

I instantly remembered my grandfather's death, "Is it like grandpa? That grandpa was murdered by you unscrupulous descendants, but you can only count it as retribution!"

My dad threw his chopsticks and walked away. I felt that I was angry just for one reason. The more important thing was probably that mentioning Lin Wan made him feel bad.

He really loves Lin Wan, which I have never denied, so I know he is sad because family grudges will make him unable to love her.

I was the only one left in the restaurant. I sent a message to Shen Qingyang and asked him why he didn't come back last night, but he didn't reply.

I couldn't call him at this point, for fear that he would be driving to work, and I wasn't very anxious to know the reason.

After a few simple words, I went upstairs. Rather than having breakfast, I was more interested in the big secret of the Shen family.

Ci Yuan was chatting with Blazing Dog, but when he saw me coming in, he immediately stopped the conversation, "You finished eating so quickly?"

I pulled up the makeup chair and sat down next to him, "Yes, I'm anxious to hear your big secret."

Ci Yuan was still leaning on the back of his chair, with a lazy and thoughtful expression, "How much do you know about the grudges between the Shen family and me?"

"It shouldn't be much. I only know that you survived the thunder tribulation hundreds of years ago..." I told him briefly and concisely what I knew.

Ci Yuan nodded, "There are indeed only these grievances. Then I will tell you the biggest secret of the Shen family. It is called Nuwa Lingzhu..."

When Ci Yuan transformed into a dragon hundreds of years ago, the reason why the ancestors of the Shen family were able to influence him as a mortal was because of the Nuwa Spirit Pearl.

It is said that it is a magical weapon refined by Nuwa herself. Not only can it restrain all demons and monsters, but it will also give way to the thunder that can transcend tribulations.

At that time, the ancestor of the Shen family was pregnant with a spiritual pearl, but accidentally entered a minefield while trying to catch a demon, causing Tian Lei to give in, and Ci Yuan failed to survive the catastrophe and almost died.

Later, after practicing for a hundred years, he came out of seclusion to seek revenge on the Shen family. It was because of that spiritual bead that he saved the lives of the entire Shen family.

However, the ancestors at that time felt that it was really the Shen family that could not stand up to Ci Yuan. He had worked hard to cultivate to the point of overcoming the tribulation, but was ruined by the Shen family.

Although even without the Shen family, Ci Yuan may not be able to successfully overcome the disaster, and he may actually fall, but after all, there is a probability of success.

In order to compensate Ci Yuan, the ancestor offered to sacrifice the women of the Shen family for him to practice, which shows that this ancestor was a great benevolent person.

As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind, so in order to avoid the disaster of annihilation of the clan, although the Lingzhu is the treasure of the Shen family, it is also a top secret.

I was shocked by this miraculous Nuwa Spirit Bead, "Oh my god, it's so powerful? How did the Shen family get such a treasure?"

Ci Yuan groaned, "I heard that a tomb robber from the Shen family seemed to have found it. As for which tomb was stolen, even the Shen family doesn't know yet."

My eyes widened in surprise, "There are grave robbers in the Shen family? But who would put such a treasure in their tomb? He seems to be a great person."

Ci Yuan's eyes flashed, "I guess there are other treasures inside, but I don't even know which tomb it is, and after so many years, it's too difficult to find treasures."

I was still not finished, so I blinked at Ciyuan, "Besides the Nuwa Lingzhu, do you know any other secrets of the Shen family? The Shen family seems to have a lot of secrets."

Ci Yuan was even more cautious, "I know, but I don't want to talk about it today. I will talk about it when I have the opportunity in the future, so that you don't have any expectations for me."

Thinking of the hope that the Sixth Grandfather had placed on me, I whispered, "Who said I have no expectations for you? I have great expectations for you."
