Liu Yuanyuan pursed her lips and asked, "What's going on? Why did Aunt Wang say things are getting complicated?"

Dai Tong meowed a few times, looking bewildered. "Uh, maybe it's because the ratio of men to women in the department is seriously unbalanced."

Liu Yuanyuan's brows furrowed instantly. "Daitong, don't explain for him. Let Tang Ziji come out and explain what's going on."

As Liu Yuanyuan finished her words, a flash of yellow and blue light appeared on Daitong's body. In the light, Tang Ziji's figure gradually emerged.

But before Tang Ziji's appearance could be fully revealed, the yellow and blue light became stronger again, and then Tang Ziji's figure disappeared and turned into the outline of Dai Tong.

Liu Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows and said, "What have you done to make you feel guilty? You dare not face me. If you hide again, I will continue to call your name."

Dai Tong quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't hide anymore. This is a simple matter. The department also hopes that we two will get engaged. The reason is very simple. Except for a young clerk who has abundant Qi in her body and knows magic, all the others in the department are grown men.

But their descendants are almost all ordinary people. And most of us who gained Qi did so through accidents and survival. After waking up, we inexplicably possessed a rich Qi. Therefore, the tribe believed that their Qi could not be passed down.

But we both possess Qi, so the department wanted us to give it a try." Dai Tong's expression became unnatural.

Liu Yuanyuan wanted to roar, but she suppressed her anger and said, "Although my soul is twenty-nine, my body is only sixteen. It will take two more years for me to become an adult. And another four years before I reach the legal age for marriage. What's the point of forcing us to get engaged now?"

Dai Tong lowered her eyes, not looking at Liu Yuanyuan, and whispered, "I did ask, but it was rejected. I think they're afraid you'll run away. If you ultimately refuse to join our department, you can still help me frequently because I'm your fiancée. We can see in the future if our child will be born with Qi."

Liu Yuanyuan was speechless for a moment: "So, you agree?"

"No," Dai Tong hastily denied, "but the minister directly said it was an order, so I..."

"Okay, I get it." Liu Yuanyuan interrupted Dai Tong's explanation, "So this marriage is destined for us, right?"

Dai Tong nodded cautiously.

But Liu Yuanyuan was still very upset and forced a fake smile: "But even if we're engaged, we can still break off the engagement. What's the point?"

Dai Tong remained silent, while Liu Yuanyuan was pacing around the room angrily.

But Dai Tong's eyes were very gentle. In the past, he would have been extremely disgusted and opposed to this engagement. That was why he had allowed rumors about himself to spread everywhere. He had even spread some of them himself, hoping that the Lu family would take the initiative to cancel the engagement.

Because his family would never take the initiative to cancel the marriage, and he couldn't really be a playboy or a real gay, because he really felt dirty. So he could only rely on the Lu family.

But now he feels that if the person on the other side of this marriage contract is Liu Yuanyuan, it doesn't seem to be such a difficult thing to accept.

This little girl looks like a cold person on the surface, but she is actually a warm and kind girl.

Unfortunately, as she said, she's still a child, so it's too early to talk about anything. Besides, she'll be going to college and meeting more people. Maybe she'll fall in love with someone else, so keeping her tied to me so early is really unfair to her.

Although it was indeed an order from the ministry, I cannot say that I had no selfish motives in agreeing to it.

Thinking of this, Dai Tong's eyes dimmed instantly. He hadn't maintained his Dai Tong appearance just for the sake of convenience. More importantly, he wanted to stay with Liu Yuanyuan openly for a while longer and eat more of what she prepared.

"How about this, since we don't have anyone we like, why don't we get engaged for the time being. If one of us meets someone we like, then the engagement will be canceled. If we never meet, then we'll just make do with each other. How about it?" Dai Tong suggested.

Liu Yuanyuan suddenly stopped and turned to look at Dai Tong: "Do you think you will never have someone you like in the future?"

Dai Tong smiled and nodded: "That should be the case."

Liu Yuanyuan frowned again: "I think I feel the same way. So in the end, we just have to make do with each other?"

Dai Tong raised an eyebrow: "You are only sixteen, life is still early, how do you know you won't meet someone you like?"

Liu Yuanyuan sighed, "I'd like to say the same thing to you. But I'm different from you. As I said, I was already 29 when I died in my previous life. I had three boyfriends when I married you. Back then, I was a typical love-brained person, and they all hurt me deeply. So I've become numb and don't believe in love anymore. It's still most reliable to have a career and money. You can use men, but you can't have expectations. But isn't love about having infinite yearning and longing for another person and your own future?"

A gleam flashed in Dai Tong's eyes, and it was impossible to tell his mood, but he said, "Then I think this is a good thing. If that's the case, then we should just make do with it.

Since I didn't care about these things in my previous life and married you, it means you are worth it. I think I was not a person who would give in in my previous life. I would agree to do anything without being told. So you are good.

"Uh..." Liu Yuanyuan was speechless again, worthy of being brothers. "Thank you, I think I'm fine now. Forget it, it's up to you. Since I'm going to agree to join your department, I guess I can't escape. I guess if I reject you, the leaders of the department will probably let me try with other people in the department. So let's do this.

So should we attend the engagement party on the first day of the new year?"

Dai Tong felt inexplicably relieved when she heard Liu Yuanyuan agree, and instantly found herself a little funny.

But before he could answer, Liu Yuanyuan's phone rang. Liu Yuanyuan picked up the phone and saw that it was a number from her grandfather.

Liu Yuanyuan answered the phone without hesitation: "Hello, Grandpa."

Grandpa Lu's voice came from the other end: "Yuanyuan, this is Grandpa. Xiao Wang said you called just now. Is there something wrong?"

Liu Yuanyuan was suddenly speechless for a moment. She originally wanted her grandfather to come forward and reject the marriage, but after hearing what her grandfather had just said and the decision she had made, she didn't know how to start.

So she hesitantly said to Mr. Lu, "Grandpa, what do you think about the engagement with the Tang family?"
