Chapter 972 - Can I Embrace You Tonight? (2/2)

Of course, even without examining her body, Su Yang was confident that Mei Ying was already fully healed.

After all, she consumed a pill created by the God of Alchemy.

The only reason he hasn't told her that she's fully healed was to let her rest more, as the pills only affected her physical body, not her mind.

”I think it should be fine if you start working tomorrow as long as you don't exert yourself too much.”

”Great! I have been getting bored from lying in bed all day for the last few days!” Mei Ying appeared ecstatic that she finally got to work again.

Though she was more excited about the fact that she'll finally be able to assist Su Yang and repay some of their debt to him even if it wasn't worth anything compared to what he has done for them.

Su Yang then massaged Mei Ying's body for half an hour before retiring for the day inside his room.

However, about an hour later, Mei Ying knocked on his door.

”Is there something wrong?” He asked her.

”No,” she shook her head.

And she continued in a somewhat timid voice, ”I… I have been thinking about how I can repay you for everything you have done for us, but I don't really have anything of value besides my experience, so if you ever feel 'stressful', you can ask me for help, and I will do my best to relieve your stress.”

”I-I know that my body is dirty from working many years in this city and that my body is pretty much worthless, but if you're okay with someone like me…”

Su Yang stopped his cultivation and stood up.

”Take a seat.” He then pointed at the bed behind him.

Mei Ying nodded and entered the room before closing the door behind her.

Once she was seated on the bed, Su Yang sat beside her and said, ”Even if you— or others— see yourself as dirty or worthless, you're nothing like that in my eyes.”

”I don't judge a woman's worth based on their body or their background— only their character and actions.”

”In my eyes, you're a hardworking mother who is trying her best to improve her daughter's life. That alone makes you more valuable than many people I have met in the past, and those people are all individuals with powerful backgrounds and plenty of authority within the Four Divine Heavens.”

”Also, I am not fond of women using their body as a sign of 'gratitude' or to repay their debt, so if you're going to approach me, give it to me straight.”

Mei Ying swallowed nervously after hearing his words, and she lowered her head, ”I'm sorry. Please give me a second chance.”

Su Yang nodded.

Mei Ying then stood up and walked out of the room.

A moment later, she knocked on the door and spoke from the outside, ”Manager, may I have some of your time?”

”Yes.”

Once she got his approval, Mei Ying entered the room and closed the door before walking up to him.

”Manager, I have been wanting to embrace you for a while now, but I never had the courage to ask, and with my daughter always around, it only makes things more difficult for me. Tonight… Can I embrace you tonight?” Mei Ying stared at him with an earnest gaze.

A smile appeared on Su Yang's face, and he nodded.
