A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 83 Offering Herself to Her Lover?

"Piss off!"

"I gave you an inch and you took a mile?" Han Fei-Fei had a look of disbelief on her face. She did not

know what else to say to Ye Fan, and could not help but wonder why her cousin had married such an

oddball in the first place.

Han Fei-Fei had used irony to make fun of Ye Fan, but it seemed that he was too thick to notice. Even

now, he was still driveling on in a serious manner.

"That's enough. Stop bragging like this in the future. You will only make a fool of yourself." Qiu Mu-

Cheng glared unhappily at Ye Fan.

It was still fine to mess around like this at her uncle's place. But if Ye Fan started talking nonsense in

public, then both of them would become the targets of derision.

When Ye Fan heard his wife, he was so indignant that he was rendered speechless.

Even though he had told the truth, she did not believe him.

Fine. He did not want his identity exposed anyway. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Although, people in the Chu family had already discovered his whereabouts, it was still better for him to

maintain a low profile.

If he started making moves, he would attract too much attention. Ye Fan needed to amass a certain

amount of power before he could reveal his identity. Otherwise, he would find himself facing a lot of

troubles.

Like everyone else, Ye Fan disliked trouble.

But that did not mean he was afraid of trouble.

"Oh yeah, are you alright? Did Sheng Tian and his gang make things difficult for you?” Qiu Mu-Cheng

asked.

Because of his lie earlier, Qiu Mu-Cheng had planned on ignoring Ye Fan when he returned home. But

now that he was right in front of her, she found it difficult to hide her worry.

Ye Fan laughed and his mouth widened into a contemptible grin. "Hehe, I knew it!

You still care about me."

"Get lost! Can't you be more serious?" Qiu Mu-Cheng blushed, but her tone remained cold.

Han Fei-Fei, who was beside the couple, looked disgusted as she retorted, "Stop being such a

narcissist! Do you think Mu-Cheng gives a damn about you?”

"Why don't you take a good look at yourself!"

"You have neither family background nor power! So why should Mu-Cheng give a damn about you?"

"Mu-Cheng was just being polite."

Han Fei-Fei snorted, turned off the TV and then got up to return to her bedroom.

"Mu-Cheng, it's late. Go to bed early. We have to attend grandma's birthday celebration tomorrow."

"And you don't have to feel too grateful toward Ye Fan. He has freeloaded off you for the past three

years, so it's only right for him to help us back at the restaurant."

"We don't owe him anything."

Han Fei-Fei spoke righteously, and showed no sign of wanting to thank Ye Fan.

Before entering her bedroom, Han Fei-Fei gave Ye Fan a solemn warning.

"Oh yeah, don't you dare think about taking advantage of Mu-Cheng. You can sleep on the couch

tonight."

"Am I making myself clear?"

After she had delivered her warning, Han Fei-Fei returned to her bedroom in her sleepwear.

Finally, only the husband and wife duo was left in the living room.

Qiu Mu-Cheng turned to look at Ye Fan and continued where she had left off. "Come on, speak up. You

haven't answered my question."

"How did you escape? You have injured their people, including Sheng Tian. There's no way they would

let you off so easily, right?"

Ye Fan sat on the couch, poured himself a glass of water and smiled lightly. "You are right. But the

police came at the right moment. They didn't dare to go overboard in front of the police, so I took the

opportunity to escape."

Although Ye Fan was trying to make things sound less dire, but an unfathomable emotion rose up

within Qiu Mu-Cheng.

She knew that the situation at the restaurant had been a lot more dire than Ye Fan was letting on.

After all, the police could not be counted on to arrive on time every time.

What if the police had arrived later rather than sooner?

What would happen to Ye Fan then?

Qiu Mu-Cheng could not bring herself to imagine the consequences.

Qiu Mu-Cheng looked at Ye Fan coldly. And in a tone of voice that brooked no discussion, she said,

"Don't ever show off like that again!" It sounded like she was giving him an order.

Ye Fan snorted and slowly shook his head.

When Qiu Mu-Cheng saw this, she blew her top.

"Ye Fan, are you tired of living?"

"Must you show off?"

"Do you really think you will get lucky every single time?"

"This time, the police arrived on time to save you. But what if they had come late? What if they were in

league with Sheng Tian?"

"Have you considered the ramifications of such outcomes?"

"If something happens to you, do..." Qiu Mu-Cheng stopped in mid-sentence. She paused for a

moment before continuing. "Do you know how worried your mother would be?"

"You are being very irresponsible. Not only are you being irresponsible toward your own life, but you

are also being irresponsible toward your mother and those who care about you!"

She was so angry that her eyes had turned red.

After the incident at the restaurant, Qiu Mu-Cheng remained haunted by anger and an unfathomable

lingering fear.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had almost been scared witless, when Ye Fan stepped forward to stop Sheng Tian.

Back then, she had really thought that Ye Fan was going to become a goner.

Sun Yu-Hao could stand up forthem because he had a powerful family background and strong personal

connections. No matter what, Sheng Tian would probably not dare to kill Sun Yu-Hao. But things were

different for Ye Fan. He did not have a father and his mother was just a simple country woman. His

family was poor and he himself had no power. Sheng Tian could easily kill a person like Ye Fan, without

having to worry about any repercussions.

That was the reason why Qiu Mu-Cheng had gotten so angry.

Ye Fan had gotten lucky this time. But what about the next time?

"Ye Fan, I am giving you an order. If something similar happens again, you are not to behave as

recklessly as you did today.”

Ye Fan put down his glass and lifted his head to look at the peerless beauty before him. Just then, he

had a serious look on his expressionless face.

"Listen carefully. If something similar happens again, I will still step up to protect you.”

"You are my wife. I have promised to never let anyone bully you."

"If I shy away from protecting you, then that will be really irresponsible of me."

"It is a man's lifelong and undeniable duty to protect his woman!" Ye Fan declared sombrely, as he

looked at his wife with an enigmatic glint in his eyes.

That was his resolve! That was his responsibility!

And Ye Fan was suddenly reminded of that person.

That person should have protected his mother and himself forever. But when mother and child needed

him in their time of need, that person had shied away from his duty.

Ye Fan would never forget the look of utter desolation on his mother's face and the despair reflected in

her eyes.

He hated his father and that cold-blooded family.

Back then, Ye Fan had inwardly sworn to always protect his woman, if he ever got one. And he would

never act like that cowardly man who had let his wife suffer.

Sometimes, one may yield in the face of opposition.

But there are also times when one must never back down!

Qiu Mu-Cheng was taken aback when she saw the look of resolve on her husband's face.

No one knew just what she was feeling at this moment.

Back at the restaurant, she had been worried for Ye Fan when he stepped up to protect her. But more

than that, she had felt moved by his heroic act.

Which woman would not want to meet a man who would shield her from all dangers, without a care for

his own safety?

The feeling of being cherished is enough to touch the heart of any woman and make her fall in love.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was not an exception to this rule. Unbeknownst to her, tears had already started to

swim around in her reddened eyes.

The couple did not continue their conversation. They just sat there quietly as the night breeze caressed

Qiu Mu-Cheng's peerlessly beautiful face.

After a long moment of silence, Qiu Mu-Cheng stood up and turned back toward her room. At the same

time, her soft and melodious voice rang out beside Ye Fan. "You come over as well. Go to my room.”

Mm?

Ye Fan was surprised to hear this.

Why did Qiu Mu-Cheng invite him into her bedroom? It was already late in the night and they were at

her uncle's place! Was she not afraid of the consequences of such an act?

What was she planning?

Could it be that she was truly touched by Ye Fan's heroism?

And she had no other way to repay him for his help but to offer up her body?

So Ye Fan was finally going to lose his virginity after twenty-odd years?
