The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Lu Yuan arrived with the rest of the Star Dou team. He didn't drive himself, as Wu Jianming and the others had already left. Fortunately, the Shen family had provided a car for Lu Yuan to take him home.

Moreover, as the prospective son-in-law of the Shen family, he can freely enter and leave the Shen family at any time!

"This car is so comfortable."

Looking at the wine cabinet in front of him from the spacious back seat, Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head.

Although he didn't want to be the son-in-law of the Shen family, in fact, he was already enjoying the treatment of the son-in-law of the Shen family!

For example, when Shen Fuyue rescued Lei Tieming's sister, it was to help Lu Yuan win over Lei Tieming and gradually build up his own power base.

As a beneficiary, Lu Yuan was naturally happy, but he also became increasingly worried.

Continuing to enjoy the conveniences provided by the Shen family will only make him sink deeper and deeper, eventually reaching a point where he cannot extricate himself.

To put it bluntly, he accepted the benefits, but then said he didn't want to marry the girl. Is that possible?

Lu Yuan frowned. In order to be able to speak to Shen Fuyue, he was determined not to take any more benefits from the Shen family in the future, and not even to profit from the Shen family's name.

As for the medicine formula he already had in his pocket, that should be enough to offset the cost.

Ring ring!

As he pondered, his watch rang; it was Wu Jianming.

They had only been separated for a short time when Wu Jianming suddenly contacted him about something, and what could be so urgent that couldn't wait until he returned to the base?

"Director, what happened?"

"Don't worry, it's a good thing."

Wu Jianming's voice rang out, tinged with a smug laugh, before he left the audience in suspense.

"Guess what good news it is?"

"Is it a combat technique?"

"Damn! You're a monkey, you're so clever, you guessed it right away, no fun."

Wu Jianming was somewhat bored. Since he had already guessed correctly, he stopped teasing him and spoke directly.

"We've received word from above that the combat technique has been approved, and you should be able to learn it soon."

"Thank you, Director."

"No need to thank me, after all, I was just running errands. Okay, that's all I have to say. Just know that."

Wu Jianming smiled and hung up the call.

The approval has been granted for a mid-grade Earth-rank combat skill that can be used by a single person.

Lu Yuan leaned back in the beast-skin chair, but he couldn't feel happy at all.

As a mid-grade Earth-rank combat skill, especially since it can form a formation on its own, although it is extremely difficult to learn, it is a top-tier combat skill that the guild cannot easily teach!

Heavenly-rank combat skills exist only in legends, while mid-grade Earth-rank combat skills are almost the pinnacle of the combat skills taught by the guild.

Therefore, the stringent requirements for the review of learners and other aspects are self-evident.

Even with Lu Yuan providing substantial resources and Wu Jianming personally handling the matter, there has been no progress whatsoever.

But today, it was suddenly approved.

Why?

It's all because of the Shen family.

The guild wouldn't casually teach a mid-grade Earth-rank combat skill to others, but members of the Shen family could. Shen Fuyue, as a Grandmaster and the guild's Grand Elder, and his son-in-law could.

Therefore, after learning that Lu Yuan was the "son-in-law" of the Shen family, the guild immediately approved his learning of this mid-grade Earth-rank combat skill.

"Fuck him!"

Lu Yuan chuckled lightly, then couldn't help but curse.

Rights are a wonderful thing.

At the same time, it was also self-deprecating, as he had just decided to stop taking benefits from the Shen family and not to use their name, but now he had obtained a mid-grade Earth-level combat skill because of his status as the son-in-law of the Shen family.

The most ridiculous thing is that he couldn't bear to refuse.

They have no backbone.

But just imagine, that's a mid-grade Earth-rank combat skill. Which martial artist could resist such a temptation?

Ultimately, Lu Yuan's reluctance to marry Shen Humeng, whom he had no feelings for, was not due to his noble character, but simply because of his pride.

but.

Self-esteem has a price.

At this moment, Lu Yuan was even beginning to waver.

However, with his cheat code, he has more confidence than ordinary people, so it's worth considering whether to continue protecting his self-esteem.

"Let's go to the Star Garden."

After a moment, Lu Yuan spoke.

The driver didn't say anything and had already replanned the route.

An hour later, the car came to a smooth stop in the underground parking garage of the building where Lu Yuan lived.

After getting off the bus, Lu Yuan didn't go upstairs. Instead, he found a corner and lit a cigarette.

At nine o'clock in the evening, a rather shabby ordinary car drove into the underground parking garage in this community. After it came to a stop, Ye Qingluan got out.

Compared to before, Ye Qingluan seems to be working even harder.

"Lu Yuan."

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Ye Qingluan's face lit up with joy. She quickly walked over, threw herself into Lu Yuan's arms, and hugged him tightly.

That's how women are; once that membrane is broken, the barriers naturally disappear.

On the contrary, Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Ye Qingluan's cold shoulder.

"I have something to tell you."

"Um."

Ye Qingluan then got up from Lu Yuan, raised her head slightly, and looked at him with eyes full of affection.

For a moment, Lu Yuan didn't know how to start the conversation.

Although he and Shen Qiubing have completely broken up, his relationship with Shen Humeng, or rather, his identity as the son-in-law of the Shen family, is already tied to him, and it's unlikely that he can break free anytime soon.

Unlike Liang Hongyun and Li Wenxiu, Lu Yuan was prepared to have a normal relationship with Ye Qingluan. Since that was the case, he felt it was necessary to make things clear to Ye Qingluan.

Something happened today...

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yuan recounted to Ye Qingluan everything that had happened at the birthday banquet that day.

Ye Qingluan will definitely be angry, and may even break up with him. Lu Yuan is already prepared.

After all, the truth will eventually come out. It's better for Ye Qingluan to confess now than for her to find out later.

In reality, Lu Yuan still held a sliver of hope that Ye Qingluan could 'forgive' him.

After all, as a normal man, who would want to lose a confidante like Ye Qingluan?

"……congratulations."

After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Ye Qingluan remained silent for a moment, then smiled and said something.

But her smile was somewhat bitter.

"Qingluan, you must believe me. Shen Humeng and I really have nothing to do with each other. That child wasn't mine either. Shen Fuyue misunderstood!"

Lu Yuan quickly explained, and seeing that Ye Qingluan did not react, he simply continued to be frank.

"Okay, I admit it. I kissed Shen Humeng back then, but we were caught in a swarm of rats, and I thought I was going to die, so I let myself go. Can you understand?"

"You don't need to tell me these things."

Ye Qingluan spoke, her eyes filled with sorrow, but not anger.

"Becoming a son-in-law of the Shen family will greatly benefit your future development; you should choose this path."

"Qingluan, are you just saying that to me out of anger?"

"No, how about this, you wait for me at home tonight."

Ye Qingluan suddenly smiled and then quickly walked into the stairwell.

Lu Yuan frowned. What exactly did Ye Qingluan mean?

Forget it.

A woman's heart is like the bottom of the sea; he could never understand it. Since Ye Qingluan told him to wait at home, he would wait.

If Ye Qingluan breaks up with him because of this, it's perfectly reasonable, and he accepts it!

He was even already thinking about what kind of compensation he would give Ye Qingluan after the breakup.

After all, Ye Qingluan is a good girl, and it was he who wronged her.

It's 11 p.m.

The doorbell rang, and the anxious Lu Yuan quickly got up to open the door.

It is Ye Qingluan.

Ye Qingluan, wearing a long trench coat, stepped in without saying a word.

"Azure Phoenix..."

As soon as the door closed and Lu Yuan opened his mouth, Ye Qingluan took off her trench coat.

Looking at the scenery inside the trench coat, Lu Yuan's eyes widened instantly. So beautiful.
