A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 104 A Man Like the Wind

"Mr... Mr. Chu, are you alright?"

Just then, the whole room was quiet.

Everyone held their breath.

After all, Ye Fan was skilled enough to kill Wu He-Rong's fellow disciple with a single slap. The

Jiangdong leaders had no doubt that he was a prodigious martial artist.

Therefore, in their opinion, something dreadful must have happened to send him into this tailspin of

panic and sombreness.

Did Mr. Chu realize some terrible truth while watching the video clip?

Or perhaps, Mr. Chu has sensed the presence of Wu He-Rong?

When they considered this possibility, Lei San and Li Er paled immediately. They hurriedly turned

around to look out of the window.

Boom~

A violent gust swept past the restaurant and blew open the windows.

And the cold wind rushed into the room through the openings.

At this moment, the Jiangdong leaders were frightened out of their wits and overwhelmed with panic. Li Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Er, who was more cowardly than the others, trembled so badly that he collapsed right onto the floor.

Clearly, the intrusion by Wu He-Rong's fellow disciple had left a scar on their psyche. So when they

saw the open windows and Ye Fan's look of panic, the Jiangdong leaders immediately assumed the

worst.

Could it be that Wu He-Rong is already here?

But just as everyone was reeling from the shock, Ye Fan's voice rang out in the room.

"Shit!" "I am in deep shit! I am in deep shit!"

"It's two thirty! My wife must be getting impatient!"

"Can't stay and chat anymore. I have to go now."

Ye Fan was panicking. After saying what he had to say, he dashed downstairs in a hurry, without even

bothering to finish his tea.

Meanwhile, the dumbfounded Jiangdong leaders were left behind in the room.

Dead quiet!

The silence went on for a long time.

Long after Ye Fan's departure, the room remained silent.

Finally, Chen Ao and company managed to recover from their bewilderment.

The Jiangdong leaders were speechless. Chen Ao's eye kept twitching and Lei San had turned an ugly

shade of green. As for Li Er, who was sprawled on the floor, the corner of his mouth was twitching

uncontrollably while his face was flushed red. He kept trying to speak but, in the end, he only managed

to say a single word.

"Damn!"

Li Er was nearly mad with anger.

Ye Fan's earlier panic had not been due to Wu He-Rong's awe-inspiring strength or the horrible death

of the Niu family head. He had lost his cool only because he was afraid that his wife might be angry at

being kept waiting.

"Ah, damn it!"

"To think that I was so frightened that I nearly pissed myself. I thought we were all going to die."

"In the end, it was because of something like that?"

Li Er's face was full of bitterness as he picked himself off the floor.

The other leaders were still feeling bewildered. Finally, they turned around to look at each other and

then smiled awkwardly.

"To think that Mr. Chu is such a family-oriented man," said Chen Ao with a chuckle as he tried to break

the ice.

It had just been a false alarm. So the assembled leaders returned to their seats and drank some tea to

relieve their feeling of embarrassment. Inwardly, however, they were thinking that Mr. Chu was

definitely not a family-oriented man. He was just a henpecked husband!

Just then, they could not help but worry. Was it really fine to hand over the fate of Jiangdong to a

henpecked husband?

Just then, Lei Ao-Ting fell into a long moment of surprise. As he looked at the swiftly retreating back of

Ye Fan, the corner of his mouth twitched a little.

"He is a man like the wind!" he exclaimed.

Just for the sake of keeping an appointment with his wife, Ye Fan had abruptly ended a meeting with

the leaders of the province and left them behind at the restaurant. In the whole of Jiangdong, only he

would be so bold.

Of course, Ye Fan knew nothing about the reaction of the Jiangdong leaders. But even if he did know,

he would pay it no mind.

In Ye Fan's eyes, none of the Jiangdong leaders could measure up to his wife. After all, they could

neither sleep with him nor bear his children.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was already waiting for Ye Fan when he reached the first floor. Chen Nan was sitting

beside her, and both of them were drinking milk tea as they waited.

Ye Fan scratched his head and chuckled. "You see, Mu-Cheng. Isn't the weather fine today?”

Chen Nan lifted her head to look at the sky. And then she said doubtfully, "Ye Fan, the sky is overcast. I

think it will rain tonight?"

Ye Fan: "..."

Ye Fan was rendered speechless. He wondered if Chen Nan was undermining him on purpose.

Just then, Qiu Mu-Cheng turned to look at Ye Fan with a smile on her face. "You are early. It's only two-

thirty. I was wondering if you were planning to sleep here tonight.”

"I heard the service here is really good. Also, the waitresses are all sexy, gentle and considerate. Why

don't I go home by myself and you just stay here tonight?"

"No way! I can't do that!" Ye Fan looked embarrassed and was smiling awkwardly. He kept on

apologizing to his wife and, after much persuasion, finally got her to forgive him.

"Let's go!"

"I will settle the score with you once we get home.”

Qiu Mu-Cheng glared angrily at Ye Fan. And after saying goodbye to Chen Nan, both husband and

wife left for the station in a taxi.

As Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng went further and further away, Chen Nan felt an inexplicable sense of

loss.

"Ai, if only I had met you first." Chen Nan shook her head and sighed. Afterward, she did not loiter but

headed straight back to the restaurant to look for her father.

A short while later, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng got on the Yunzhou-bound train.

On the way home, Qiu Mu-Cheng spent the time quietly listening to music and looking distantly out of

the window. After their stay in Jianghai, an inexplicable yet blissful smile had been lingering on her lips.

But perhaps, even she herself had not noticed this.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan was lost in his thoughts as he stared at her face.

As expected, a woman looks her best when she is smiling.

Just then, Qiu Mu-Cheng noticed her husband's gaze. "What's wrong? Do I have something on my

face?" she asked uncertainly.

Ye Fan shook his head with a laugh. "Nothing. Even if something is there, it can only be your peerless

beauty."

When she heard this, Qiu Mu-Cheng blushed and glared at Ye Fan. "Don't think I will forgive you for

being late just because you said something nice."

But Ye Fan ignored his wife's response and suddenly changed the subject.

"Mu-Cheng, don't you have anything to ask me?" He spoke softly but his tone was serious.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was slightly taken aback, and then an intoxicating smile appeared on her face. "Didn't I

already ask you?"

Ye Fan smiled when he heard the answer. "That's right, you did. Sorry, I have said too much."

Earlier, in front of Sheng Tian Restaurant, Qiu Mu-Cheng had already gotten her answer.

And she had not asked about the other matters.

She did not care about Ye Fan's secrets. She only wanted to know if her husband was still the same Ye

Fan as before. That was the only thing important to her.

She was an understanding woman. If Ye Fan wanted to keep certain things a secret, then she would

not ask about them. After all, everyone had a past they did not want others to know about.
