The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Beneath the trench coat lies a breathtaking view and a delightful charm...

Lu Yuan had already made all sorts of preparations for Ye Qingluan to blame him, hate him, ignore him, or even sever ties with him like Shen Qiubing.

But to his utter surprise, Ye Qingluan put him to the test.

Which man could withstand such a test!

With a roar, Lu Yuan grabbed Ye Qingluan and severely punished her on the spot.

Ye Qingluan was very cooperative, and even took the initiative at times.

Ye Qingluan entered the room at 11 o'clock, but didn't reach the edge of the bed until after 1 o'clock...

"Qingluan, you've confused me."

During halftime, Lu Yuan held Ye Qingluan in his arms and couldn't help but ask her something.

Although the wisest course of action at this point would be to play dumb, he was genuinely curious.

This makes absolutely no sense!

"What?"

Ye Qingluan looked up slightly at Lu Yuan and said calmly.

"Then what should I do? Break up with you? Why should I break up with you? It took me so long to get together with you."

"But now I've suddenly become the son-in-law of the Shen family, even though I never thought about marrying Shen Humeng."

"Then, for my sake, can you explain things clearly to the Shen family?"

"Of course I need to make things clear, but getting rid of this marriage..."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed.

"I'm afraid it can't be done in a short time."

Why do you want to get out of this marriage?

To everyone's surprise, Ye Qingluan was not angry at all. Instead, she asked a question and continued.

"Even though the Shen family is not as powerful as the Ye or Xiao families, Shen Fuyue is a Grandmaster-level expert. As long as he is there, the Shen family will remain a top family in Chongming Base City. As the son-in-law of the Shen family, you can obtain various resources and assistance, which will greatly benefit your development."

"Well……"

Looking at Ye Qingluan's serious expression, Lu Yuan was stunned again.

Is this girl telling the truth?

She was being sarcastic, but judging from her demeanor, she didn't seem to be being sarcastic at all.

"Don't you... mind?"

"What do you mind? Do you mind that you have a legal wife?"

Ye Qingluan lowered her head and sighed softly, but then looked relieved and suddenly said.

"I heard that the Grand Elder has four wives. In fact, this is very common in the Ye family. The direct descendants or the more powerful men in the Ye family all have several wives and concubines."

"this……"

For a moment, Lu Yuan didn't know how to answer.

In the era of high martial arts, the strong are respected, thus adhering even more to the law of the jungle, the essence of which is the survival of the fittest. The strong occupy more resources, and for men, women are also among them.

This is nothing new.

However, in a civilized society with well-established legal rules, monogamy is still the consensus of the public, so Lu Yuan subconsciously thought the same way.

However, Ye Qingluan, who comes from the Ye family, seems to have a different worldview.

Although she was just an overlooked member of a side branch, compared to Lu Yuan, who came from humble beginnings, she had already seen a more realistic side of the world.

"In the Ye family, bloodline continuity is very important, and men are the main lineage holders. As for women, once they marry out, they are no longer considered part of the Ye family. If they want to continue bearing the Ye surname, they must marry into the family."

Ye Qingluan spoke again, her voice tinged with bitterness.

"Actually, I was also resentful at first. Why should men enjoy special privileges while the women of the Ye family could only be used as tools? I kept trying to prove that I was no less than men, but the truth was that I couldn't beat any of the men in the Ye family."

"Then I hated myself, hated why I was a woman, why I wasn't a man. I even started to reject my identity as a woman, wanting to destroy what made me a woman chaste..."

Ye Qingluan raised her head and looked at Lu Yuan again, her eyes filled with a layer of mist, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned.

"That time, I couldn't bring myself to do it, and Su Tiantian recorded me, putting me in danger. But it was also because of that that I met you."

"Azure Phoenix".

Lu Yuan looked at Ye Qingluan and suddenly realized what was going on.

Lu Yuan was also very puzzled about that video recording. He wondered why Ye Qingluan would do such a thing, which led to Su Tiantian filming it.

But because it was too private, Lu Yuan never asked.

Only now, when Ye Qingluan spoke up, did I realize that there was such a reason behind it all.

"Lu Yuan, do you know?"

Ye Qingluan lay on Lu Yuan's broad chest, her voice utterly calm.

"Because of meeting you, I no longer hate being a woman, and I'm even happy to be one. I'm also very fortunate that I didn't destroy what was precious to me, but instead left it to you."

"Qingluan, I..."

Ye Qingluan's genuine feelings made Lu Yuan feel even more guilty.

"Don't worry! I will definitely explain to the Shen family that I am not their son-in-law!"

"Why!"

Ye Qingluan's eyes widened, looking somewhat anxious.

"You absolutely mustn't do that. The Shen family's background is very important; you must make good use of it."

"But……"

Lu Yuan blinked; Ye Qingluan truly thought so!

"You just said that I should explain things to the Shen family for your sake."

"Yes, make it clear to them that they will allow me to be your concubine."

Ye Qingluan looked serious, then a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

"You are very good, but the Shen family is too prestigious. Even if you don't marry into the family, they probably won't let you take a concubine."

"Well……"

"Actually, I was already mentally prepared. I don't want to put you in a difficult position. Even without the title of concubine, I will stay with you."

"No problem!"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened, and he quickly assured him.

"Qingluan, don't worry, I will definitely take you as my concubine."

"I'm content just hearing you say that."

Ye Qingluan smiled, closed her eyes, and nestled in Lu Yuan's arms.

Lu Yuan was stunned again. Why did his words just now feel so awkward?

Couples make all sorts of vows and promises, but this is the first time I've heard of a man making a vow to take a woman as a concubine.

This world has ultimately defied his understanding.

Or perhaps his previous understanding was too superficial.

But in any case, this is good news for Lu Yuan.

Regardless of how things develop or whether he really marries Shen Humeng, Ye Qingluan is still his.

For a time, Lu Yuan grew even more fond of Ye Qingluan, who had willingly stepped down to the "third place".

Love should be shown through actions!

Then, Lu Yuan spoke energetically for more than two hours.

"There's something else I need to tell you."

"Um?"

"There's a madman in the third branch of the Shen family named Shen Fengxing."

Lu Yuan sighed and then recounted his past conflict with Shen Fengxing.

Then he looked at Ye Qingluan with an extremely serious expression.

"This person is despicable. He can't beat me, so he'll probably target the people around me—no, he definitely will! And you are probably his primary target."

"Um."

Upon hearing that he was the primary target, Ye Qingluan was not worried at all; instead, she was overjoyed. It turned out that she was so important to Lu Yuan.

After feeling secretly pleased, she quickly added, not wanting Lu Yuan to worry.

"Don't worry, he can't do anything to me."
