Qin Yun followed Qin Shizhou and Mu Wanmian to a brightly lit ancestral hall, which was filled with an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

Although the overall decoration style of the Qin family is biased towards the West, the traditional customs are still preserved in terms of sacrificial culture. After entering the ancestral hall, Qin Yun first kowtowed to the ancestors, then stood up and walked to the tablets of his father and mother, and slowly knelt down.

Qin Shizhou and Mu Wanmian stood aside, watching everything in front of them with distress. Qin Shizhou walked forward and handed the lit incense to Qin Yun. Qin Yun took the incense, tears flashing in his eyes, knelt down and kowtowed, unable to get up for a long time. Tears dripped onto the cold marble floor, splashing ripples, and the scorching temperature seemed to burn the hearts of everyone present.

Qin Shizhou squatted down and gently helped Qin Yun, who was crying silently. This strong child had been alone for many years, never contacting his family, as if he had disappeared from this world. If it weren't for his confidant accidentally discovering that his face was quite similar to that of his deceased elder brother when he returned to S City this time, I'm afraid they would never meet again in this life.

"Ayun, you are a strong and good child. If your parents were still alive, they would be very pleased to see you like this!" He said with tears in his eyes, his eyes full of love and heartache for Qin Yun, as if he regarded Qin Yun as his own child.

Qin Shen and the Yu brothers and sisters were strolling in the garden. Yu Shuyan had a company call to answer halfway, so he went to a pavilion to handle business.

In the huge manor, Yu Jin followed Qin Shen and casually admired the scenery.

"My grandmother once studied abroad and returned to China. My grandfather fell in love with her at first sight and personally designed and supervised the construction of this European-style manor when he was pursuing her. They held their wedding in this manor and loved each other for a lifetime." This was the first time Qin Shen patiently explained the past to someone like this. Perhaps he himself did not realize that, unknowingly, she had been gradually attracted to Yu Jin and gradually opened her heart to her.

After hearing this, Yu Jin just felt it was very romantic. The love of the older generation was always so persistent and affectionate.

"I really admire your grandfather, who is so affectionate, persistent and brave. Your grandmother is also very happy, holding one person's hand for her whole life..."

Hearing her longing expression, Qin Shen was a little moved. He suddenly wanted to tell her that he also wanted to be the one to accompany her through life, but now was not the right time. So he gently changed the subject: "This is also the first time I heard this story recently. It seems that there are many sides of my grandfather that I don't know."

Yu Jin nodded and asked curiously, "Have you ever thought about how to confess your love to your significant other in the future?"

Qin Shen looked at her, raised his lips slightly, and said softly: "Maybe you don't need too fancy words, as long as you are sincere."

Yu Jin couldn't help but laugh, "Well, sincerity is the most important thing. But sometimes appropriate romance is still necessary."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of expectations and longings for the future.

"Do you still have to be with Jing Tingxiao?" Qin Shen asked tentatively, with a hint of complexity and helplessness in his eyes.

Yu Jin didn't expect him to bring up this topic suddenly, so she remained silent, as if expressing her firm choice in this way.

Qin Shen sighed, a hint of disappointment in his voice: "Do you remember what I warned you about?"

Yu Jin frowned and tried to recall. She remembered having a conversation with Qin Shen in the garden once, but she couldn't remember exactly what they had said.

Qin Shen felt a little frustrated, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart. It seemed that she didn't take his affairs seriously.

"I said that Jing Tingxiao can't give you the results you want, a stable life, and someone who loves you." Qin Shen's tone was calm and firm. He hoped that through these words, Yu Jin would face the reality.

Yu Jin's eyes froze. Qin Shen's words seemed to have a deeper meaning. Did he also know about the Gu in Jing Tingxiao's body? She speculated in her heart.

Facing Yu Jin's inquiring gaze, Qin Shen did not evade the question. He slowly said, "The Jing family is best at using witchcraft. They have infiltrated City A for many years. I think that what he did was not out of his own ambition, but was manipulated and controlled by others... Do you understand? Maybe even your grandfather understands this, so he resists your contact."

Yes... She knew... But she didn't want him to face such a long time alone, being ordered around and controlled by others without humanity...

Yu Jin knew that everything he had been through was unimaginable pain and torture. However, she didn't want to see him endure it all alone, because she loved him deeply and she hoped to always be by his side, giving him strength and support.

"Qin Shen, thank you for your frankness, but I am a stubborn person. Once I fall in love with someone, I will not let go easily. He once lost his life to save me... So I want to go on with him, no matter what obstacles lie ahead." Yu Jin's answer was firm and affectionate, as if he had already decided to face all the difficulties in the future together with him.

After Qin Shen heard this, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He had never thought that someone would choose to be with him so firmly and never give up no matter how great the difficulties were. This idea shocked him, and at the same time deeply touched the softest place in his heart.

He silently watched Yu Jin's back as she left, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He began to think, if he had not rejected her request, but chose to save her, would everything today be different?

"If I hadn't rejected your request for help at that time, you wouldn't have loved Jing Tingxiao so deeply!"

Yu Jin was stunned. She wondered if there was something wrong with her ears. Was Qin Shen confessing to her?

"Yu Jin, answer me!" The persistent voice sounded again from behind him. Yu Jin turned around and looked at him, puzzled. "Mr. Qin, what's the question?"

Qin Shen walked towards her step by step, his eyes flashing with determination, like a burning flame, "Let me ask you again, if I had not rejected you that day but saved you, would you not have loved Jing Tingxiao so deeply? And you would not have rejected your grandfather's suggestion to marry you to me!"

Yu Jin almost lost himself in his serious and determined eyes, and took a step back unprepared, "Qin Shen, what's wrong with you today?"

"Answer me." His voice became more serious, like an unbreakable net that trapped her.

Yu Jin then realized that the other party was not joking. Her heartbeat began to speed up, like a bird trapped in a cage.

"Qin Shen... I remember I seemed to have told you that even if there hadn't been that accident between us, I would not have listened to my grandfather's arrangements. When it comes to marriage, you must find someone who loves you and whom you love, rather than a marriage based on weighing the pros and cons."

Qin Shen couldn't help but smile bitterly at this point. It turned out that he was wrong from the beginning...
