Chapter 556 — Chu Liuxiangs Ambitions

Shortly after Yuan and Sebastian left the immortal caves to talk, Meixiu woke up from her sleep to find Chu Liuxiang sleeping in a weird position and Yuan gone.

She didn't think too much of it and went outside, but neither Yuan nor Sebastian was around.

She wondered where they went as she entered the bathroom to clean her face.

And as Meixiu left the bathroom, Chu Liuxiang was coming out of the bedroom with a sleepy expression on her face.

"Where's Brother Yuan?" Chu Liuxiang asked.

"I don't know. He was gone by the time I woke up."

"Is that so…" Chu Liuxiang then entered the bathroom to clean her face.

Once she came out of the bathroom, she saw Meixiu sitting at the table alone, and after pondering for a second, she decided to sit with her.

Meixiu quickly noticed Chu Liuxiang staring at her, mostly because Chu Liuxiang didn't try to hide the fact.

"Is there something on my face?" Meixiu asked her.

"No, I was just thinking that you're very pretty."

To her surprise, Chu Liuxiang actually praised her appearance.

"Thank you…" Meixiu felt a little awkward after hearing Chu Liuxiang's praises.

"Hey, I have a question. What do you think of Brother Yuan?" Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked her.

"What do you mean?" Meixiu raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I am asking what you think of Brother Yuan as a man. Are you interested in him? Or are you already in love with him? I have watched you for an entire day, but I cannot figure it out. Surely, you must have some feelings for him since you have been living with him for so long, and Brother Yuan is a very charming man… in his own way." Chu Liuxiang blatantly asked Meixiu if she loved Yuan.

And sure enough, Meixiu was left speechless by such a question.

But before she could even respond, Chu Liuxiang continued, "Actually, you don't have to tell me since it won't really change my decision."

"Your decision?" Meixiu asked out of curiosity.

"My decision to stay with Brother Yuan for the rest of my life as his wife. I wasn't sure about my feelings at first, but after seeing him again, I am certain that I love him, so I want to be with him— even if I have to leave the Chu Family."

Meixiu's eyes visibility widened after hearing Chu Liuxiang's declaration of love for Yuan, but she was more surprised that Chu Liuxiang had the courage to say such words out loud than the words themselves.

After all, anyone could tell that Chu Liuxiang had intimate feelings for Yuan just by how she acted when around him.

Seeing Meixiu's reaction, Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not like I am declaring war or anything like that by telling you that I love Brother Yuan. I just wanted to clear your doubts since you seem to question my feelings for him."

Meixiu opened her mouth, but no words came out, as she wasn't sure how she should respond to Chu Liuxiang's words.

Obviously, she had some feelings for Yuan, but she wasn't as bold as Chu Liuxiang to announce that out loud.

"Two… I want two children with Brother Yuan no matter if they are a boy or a girl. That is my dream— or should I say dreams? And I hope to achieve one of these dreams before I have to return to my family."

Meixiu's jaw dropped a little after hearing her words. Does Chu Liuxiang plan on getting pregnant before she returns to the Chu Family?

"Aren't you a little too young for a child?" Meixiu couldn't help but ask.

Although she didn't know Chu Liuxiang's age, they looked to be around the same age.

"Too young? Based on what? I am already an adult, so why must I pointlessly wait to conceive when I am already prepared to have children? In fact, I have heard from others that it's normal for girls at my age to already have their own family in this day and age."

Meixiu was speechless. While it is true that there are many girls out there that have already started their own family at the age of 18 with some being even younger, she still felt that having a child at such a young age would be too much responsibility.

"Listen here, Meixiu. Brother Yuan is a very charming young man with unlimited potential, and I have no doubt that there will be a lot of competition in the future, so it's only logical to strike while the iron is hot! Even if he decides to get another wife in the future, at least I already have a spot in his heart!"

"Wait… You don't mind sharing him with others?" Meixiu was truly speechless now. Is that why Chu Liuxiang doesn't care if she loved Yuan or not?

And if someone asked her, she would definitely prefer having the man she loved all to herself.

"Well… My father has many wives, so I am used to it, and they all seem pretty happy together. Furthermore, it's not uncommon for powerful men to have many wives. Honestly, I don't care as long as I have a place in his heart." Chu Liuxiang said in a calm and clear voice.

By now, Yuan and Sebastian had been away for over an hour.

Suddenly, the door opened, and both Yuan and Sebastian returned to the immortal caves with suitcases by their side.

After their talk, Yuan decided to go with Sebastian to get their luggage since he knew his way around the place much better than Sebastian.

"Good morning, Brother Yuan! You too, Sebastian!" Chu Liuxiang stood up and left the table after seeing their return.

"Good morning, Young Lady," Sebastian said to her.

"You're awake already? I thought you would still be asleep since you have never been good with waking up in the morning." Yuan chuckled.

"That was years ago!" She quickly said.

Meanwhile, Meixiu silently watched Chu Liuxiang acting very intimately around Yuan, but Chu Lixuiang no longer looked as innocent as before since Meixiu is now aware of Chu Liuxiang's grand ambitions!
