Chapter 500 What Do You Think of My Daughter?

Yuan practiced his movement technique until it was time for dinner.

After dinner, Yuan wanted to continue practicing, but Meifeng said, "Young Master, I get that you're excited about your recovery, but you shouldn't move around so much after eating. It's bad for your body."

"Furthermore, since you've only recently recovered, you shouldn't do such intensive exercises that could strain your body. We still don't know if you've actually fully recovered or not, after all."

"You're right, Miss Meifeng… I got ahead of myself because of this sudden recovery that might only be temporary. I shouldn't stress my body too much or it could go back to being crippled…" Yuan wasn't happy about restraining himself, but he agreed with Meifeng. They still don't know if his body is fully recovered or if it was just temporary. He could wake up tomorrow and return to being a cripple.

"Let's not say something so demoralizing, Young Master. I'm sure your body is fine now and it won't suddenly revert back to its previous state, but until we're confident that you're really okay, I wouldn't push my body so much if I were in your shoes." Meifeng said.

"I understand."

Sometime later, they prepared for bed.

Once they entered the bedroom, Meifeng suddenly asked him, "Young Master, how about a body massage? I heard that getting a massage after a day of exercise will make everything more effective."

"If you don't mind." Yuan nodded.

"Please lie on the bed with your back facing the ceiling."

Once Yuan laid on the bed, Meifeng got on top of him and gently sat on his buttocks in a kneeling position.

"Will you be okay if I did this? Am I too heavy?" Meifeng asked him just in case.

"I am okay. You're not heavy at all." Yuan said, feeling two round and soft objects pressing on his butt.

"Great."

Meifeng then started her massage on Yuan's back, starting from his neck and shoulders.

"Aaahh… This feels great…" Yuan released a satisfied sigh.

"Thank you for the praises, Young Masters."

After massaging Yuan for a few minutes, Meifeng started speaking with him.

"Young Master, I have a few questions for you."

"What is it?"

"What do you think of my daughter, Meixiu?"

"What do I think of Meixiu?" Yuan repeated the question.

He then said, "She's a very important person to me, and I owe a great deal to Meixiu for assisting me. Without her company, I wouldn't have survived this long alone. I also admire her a lot for her work. Although I don't know what it's like working her job, I know it's not an easy job and not something a girl her age should be doing normally."

"You're right, it's not easy working as a maid, especially not for the Yu Family, where the standards are many times higher. Even I cannot compare to her when I was her age, but I rarely praise her because I don't want her to feel complacent. I wouldn't be surprised if she hates me because of how I raised her, but looking at her now, I won't regret it even if she hates me." Meifeng said with a gentle smile on her face.

"I don't think Meixiu hates you, Miss Meifeng."

Meifeng chuckled a little before speaking, "Anyways, judging by your words, I will assume that you really like Meixiu. Is that right, Young Master?"

"Yes, I really like Meixiu," he responded without hesitation.

"Then would you mind living with her forever?"

"No, I wouldn't. In fact, I would actually prefer it if we could remain like this forever."

"Hmmm… That will be problematic…" Meifeng suddenly said.

"Eh? Why would it be problematic?"

"Why? Isn't it obvious? Because we don't know what Meixiu wants. Even if you want to be with her forever, what if she wants to leave in the future? What if she has to leave in the future when she wants to start her own family?"

Yuan was left speechless by her words, and he immediately began pondering.

"You're right… It's all up to Meixiu in the end. As much as I want to be with her forever, I can't force her to stay with me. She has her own life, as I have my own. Guess I can only enjoy our time together while it lasts…" Yuan sighed.

Yuan never really thought about Meixiu leaving since she told him that she wanted to be with him in the past. However, people will inevitably change as they grow older, so there was a chance that Meixiu might leave his side in the future.

"Let's not come to immediate conclusions, Young Master. Maybe Meixiu wants to stay with you forever as well. If you're worried, why don't you ask her? In fact, I know how you can stay with her forever."

"Really? How?" Yuan quickly asked her.

"Well, if you want someone to stay with you, you propose to them, of course. It's common practice in this world."

"Propose? What do I propose to her?"

"That you want to stay with her forever, of course. However, you're still too inexperienced in this subject, so wait until you're a little older and more experienced before you actually propose to her, okay? Just don't make her wait too long, or she will be gone before you get the chance." Meifeng said to him.

Although she wanted to help her daughter and Yuan get together, she didn't want to take advantage of Yuan's innocence to do so, as it would only hurt their relationship in the future.

The only thing she can really do is help Yuan become aware of the situation and give him some advice. The rest will be up to him and Meixiu.

"I understand, Miss Meifeng. Thank you for the advice." Yuan said to her.

"I am merely doing my job as a mother, that's all," she said with a mysterious smile on her face.

After giving Yuan an hour-long massage, Meifeng closed the light and went to sleep.

"Let's do this again tomorrow. Goodnight, Young Master."

"Goodnight, Miss Meifeng," Yuan said, quickly falling asleep due to Meifeng's massage that had an immediate effect on his body.
