A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1230 Qiu Mu-Cheng's Guilt

Early the next morning, the cool breeze of early fall swept across the city.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had set her alarm clock for 6AM, but she only woke up at 7AM.

The most painful time of the day for Qiu Mu-Cheng was the time when she had to wake up.

She felt as though her soul and body were in two different places. Her physical body had gotten up, but her soul was still asleep.

"Dear, I'm so sleepy..." Qiu Mu-Cheng whined coquettishly as she stretched an arm out towards the space where Ye Fan normally slept.

But after patting the bed for a while, Qiu Mu-Cheng's arm didn't feel anything.

She finally opened her eyes to find that the space where Ye Fan usually slept was empty.

Qiu Mu-Cheng turned with a start to look at the clock to find that it was nearly

710AM already.

She immediately jolted up and groaned in frustration, "Damn it, I've overslept again! Qiu Mu-Cheng, you're such a lazy pig! You're an adult already but you constantly oversleep and always make your husband serve you as a result!"

She used both hands to tug at her hair in annoyance at how useless she was.

After letting out her frustration, Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't even change out of her pajamas. She put on her slippers and ran out of the room.

Just as she had expected, the table was already covered with breakfast.

"Dear, you're awake? Go wash up and get changed, then have breakfast. I'll send you to work later." Ye Fan came out of the kitchen with a freshly fried egg and an apron round his waist to see Qiu Mu-Cheng's barely awake face in front of him, and he burst into a bright smile.

Nobody would have ever expected that the almighty Mr Chu who had defeated those military instructors in Jiangbei so powerfully would actually be such a gentle and understanding man in front of his wife. "Ye Fan, didn't I tell you to let me prepare breakfast? I'm your wife, so I should be the one doing all this. Can't you give me a chance to do this?"

Most other wives would have happily run to their husbands with a big thank you and even a kiss if they saw that their husbands had prepared breakfast.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng did none of that, and even glared begrudgingly at Ye Fan as she grumbled about how he ended up preparing breakfast for her again.

Ye Fan smiled brightly when he heard what she said.

That smile was especially sweet.

"Silly girl! You work so hard out there every day, while I have nothing to do at home, so I pass the time by cooking your meals and cleaning the house. We've lived like that for so long already, so why are you bothered by this?" laughed Ye Fan.

But these words only made Qiu Mu-Cheng feel even guiltier.

Before Mufan Group existed and Ye Fan was merely a live-in husband, Qiu Mu-Cheng had thought this way too.

She thought that since Ye Fan wasn't employed and didn't earn any money, it was only right for him to stay at home and take care of all the chores.

So Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't feel guilty at all as Ye Fan took care of everything in the house for more than three years.

But she later realized that she had been wrong.

This man's contribution had not been any less than hers.

No matter how hard she worked, she was nothing but a person who dabbled in business in an office, and the worst thing that could happen to her was to lose some money and assets.

But what about Ye Fan?

Ye Fan was faced with powerful businessmen like Li Er and Chen Ao, as well as frightening martial artists like Wu He-Rong and Mochizuki Kawa who no longer felt anything when they killed others. If he made one wrong step, he might lose his life.

The dangers and cruelty of life that Ye Fan had faced all this time was probably much more terrifying than anything she had to face.

Despite all that, Ye Fan continued to take care of her daily needs without complaining at all.

In the past, Qiu Mu-Cheng had no idea about what Ye Fan faced out there.

But now that she knew, she wasn't going to let Ye Fan look after her like this anymore.

So she set her alarm to go off at 6AM every day. She wanted to wake up an hour earlier, make breakfast for Ye Fan and let him feel the warmth and care that came with having a wife.

But no matter how hard she tried, she always overslept.

That was why Qiu Mu-Cheng was so angry with herself earlier.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes immediately reddened.

"Mu-Cheng, what's wrong? Your husband cooks for you and you're still not satisfied?" teased Ye Fan with a smile.

Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head and her voice cracked a little, "Ye Fan, it's not that I'm not satisfied. I just feel that I'm really useless. Other wives always take good care of the household. They wake up early to make breakfast for their husbands, and prepare a feast at night when their husbands come home from work. But I've not been able to help you in your work, and you still have to take care of me at home."

"Ye Fan, I feel like I'm really useless. I'm not gifted in martial arts like Yu-Yan, and I'm not able to take charge of so much power like Xu Lei. I can't provide you with the warmth and concern of a wife, and I'm not virtuous at all."

"In the past, I couldn't even fry an egg, and I didn't know how to use the washing machine either. I tried washing your clothes and I made a hole in it. I'm just so stupid. I'm stupid and useless. I'm really not fit to be your wife..."

It wasn't the first time she was thinking this way. She felt like she was growing further and further away from this young man in front of her.

This man was like the stars in the sky that shone brilliantly.

Even though he was with her throughout the day, she felt like she could only gaze upon him but could never reach him.

When she realized that she was of no help, and was in fact a burden to Ye Fan, the fear in her heart only increased.

These guilty feelings had been accumulating in her heart for a long time, and they were finally coming out now.

Ye Fan was surprised to hear these things from his usually prideful and independent wife. He didn't expect her to think about so many things.

"Mu-Cheng, what's wrong? Who says you're useless? Without you, Mufan Group wouldn't have expanded and reached the heights it's at now," consoled Ye Fan gently.

Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head. "Ye Fan, you don't have to console me. Mufan Group has achieved all these things today not because of me, but because of your reputation. Anybody in my position would have done an equally good job."

"Besides, actually whether Mufan Group exists or not doesn't matter to you. I know that you established this company for my sake. So this really isn't my contribution to you. But Ye Fan, I really want to do something for you. I don't have the skills that Xu Lei has nor the ability that Ye Yu-

Yan has. The only thing I can do for you is to prepare your meals and to give you a clean and comfortable home."
