Hearing Meifengâs gasping voice, Yuan spoke with a smile on his face, "Even if my childhood was taken away from me, at least I still have my future, and I wonât give up until I can personally leave this bed with my own strength."
"Young Master... you... are you really..." Meifeng almost couldnât believe what had just happened.
Did he just move his fingers? Even if it was just slightly, that is a huge improvement and a hopeful sign that he might actually recover in the future!
"Yes, I am really recovering. But please keep this a secret for now, as I want it to be a surprise for Meixiu and Yu Rou." Yuan said in a low voice.
"I will keep it a secret! I wonât tell a single soul even if itâs the last thing I do, I promise!" Meifeng nodded her head with excitement, causing the tears on her face to drop faster.
After spending a few minutes wiping her tears and calming down, Meifeng spoke, "Young Master, what do you plan on doing now that youâre no longer part of the Yu Family? While youâre definitely recovering, itâs going to be difficult without the Yu Familyâs support and resources."
And she continued, "If you need money, just let me know and Iâll do my best to support you."
"Itâs okay, Miss Meifeng. I already have a plan. However, I am worried about one thing."
"What are you worried about, Young Master? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"I donât know if you can help or not, but I am worried that Meixiu might get in trouble if the Yu Family learns that sheâs helping me, which might affect you as well, and I donât want that to happen. Do you know of any solutions?" Yuan asked her.

"I see..."
To Yuanâs surprise, Meifeng actually began chuckling at his question, and he wondered if heâd said something funny.
"My dear Young Master, I have the perfect solution for thatâ one that wonât cause any trouble for Meixiu even if the Masters find out," Meifeng said a moment later.
"Really?!" Yuan reacted with excitement. What could this solution possibly be? It sounded too good to be true!
"Yes, I would never lie to you, Young Master. Anyways, the solution to all of this is to have Meixiu leave the Yu Family, so even if she decides to work for you, they cannot complain about it." Meifeng said, immediately leaving Yuan speechless.
"M-Meixiu leaving the Yu Family? I donât think I can be that selfishâ taking Meixiu away from Yu Rou. And what about Meixiu? What if she doesnât want to do that, and I wonât force her either." Yuan quickly said.
"You donât have to worry about any of that, Young Master. In the first place, Meixiu was trained to become your caretaker, and lastly, she has already agreed to leave the Yu Family to be by your side." Meifeng finally revealed to him the situation.
"Wait... what? Meixiu decided to leave the Yu Family? What about Yu Rou?" Yuan mumbled in a shocked voice.
"Indeed, Meixiu has already left the Yu Family. I will be notifying the Masters later today. As for the Young Lady, she also agreed with this, even urging Meixiu to leave the family." Meifeng said.
"I... donât know what to say, really..." Yuan sighed, and he continued, "I just donât want to burden Meixiu any more than I already am..."
"A burden, huh?" Meifeng pondered for a moment before speaking again, "How about this, Young Master? Letâs ask Meixiu what she thinks."
Meifeng then stood up from her kneeling position and took a moment to fix her appearance before going outside to call for Meixiu.
"Come here, Meixiu. The Young Master would like to speak with you." Meifeng said to her, who was standing near the entrance of the apartment.
Once they were inside Yuanâs room together, Meifeng spoke, "Meixiu, the Young Master is worried that he might be a burden to you. Tell him the truth."
Meixiu nodded her head before speaking, "I enjoy taking care of the Young Master, and I do not see the Young Master as a burden."
"There you have it, Young Master. Meixiu herself has spoken. If you still doubt it, youâre going to hurt Meixiuâs feelings."
"I see..." Yuan mumbled in a somewhat dazed voice.
"Anyways, Meixiu will no longer be part of the Yu Family, and she will be your caretaker starting today." Meifeng said before turning to look at Meixiu, "As for school, if you wish to continue attending school, then I will try to work something out."

Meixiu nodded her head.
Once everything was settled, Meifeng looked at her watch and said, "I donât have much time left here, but before I leave, I need to make sure that you havenât forgotten your training and that youâre taking care of the Young Master properly. Therefore, youâre going to show me how you take care of the Young Master right now."
"Right now? But what am I supposed to do? The Young Master already ate breakfast..."
Meifeng stood still for a moment before moving to wipe Yuanâs forehead with her finger.
She then said, "Look, the Young Master is sweating. I want you to change his clothes, and while youâre at it, wash his body."
Meixiuâs eyes widened after hearing her motherâs words. While she doesnât mind changing Yuanâs clothes, washing Yuanâs body in front of her mother is an entirely different story, especially if the last incident were to repeat itself.
"Why are you hesitating? If youâre not going to take care of the Young Master properly, I wonât hesitate to replace you."
Meixiu swallowed nervously, but she didnât dare to refuse her mother. Therefore, she could only nod her head.
Thus, Meixiu began removing Yuanâs clothes whilst Meifeng stood in the background and silently watched her every movement.
This reminded Meixiu of her childhood when she was still in training, and just like currently, her mother would watch her from a distance, calling out on every minor mistake she makes.
