A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1638

As she was hugging Ye Fan a little too hard, her breasts were pressed tightly against his chest.

Meng Wanyu found herself burning bright red from overwhelming embarrassment.

She had always been hostile toward men due to her personal experiences at a young age, so she never had any sort of intimate physical contact with the opposite sex through her years of growing up. Meng Wanyu could never have imagined herself being in the intimate position she was in with a man at the time.

However, she found her mindset starting to change when she was actually being held in a man's embrace.

So, this is how it feels like to actually be held in a man's arms? Well, I'll be damned... It actually feels really good! I feel safe and secure like a ship that has found its harbor.Whoosh!

The strong winds continued to blow against them as they sped across the ocean surface, but Ye Fan remained focused on what was in front of him.

The fact that he didn't even get distracted by Meng Wanyu lying in his arms actually made her a little angry.

Oh, come on! A pretty woman like me is clinging tightly to you in your embrace! Don 'tyou feel anything at all? I have tons of suitors in the Chu Sect! Do you not find me charming in the slightest? Meng Wanyu thought to herself with a pout, but Ye Fan simply continued without even looking at her.

It felt as if he was carrying a huge rock instead of a charming beauty, and that made Meng Wanyu question her feminine charm.

Oh, well... Judging by how anxious he is, it's obvious that he's very worried about Angie. Looks like I really did misunderstand him back then. Da*n, Angie sure is lucky for someone so silly! I mean, she was able to meet such an excellent young man! Huh... I wish I had that kind of luck too! Can't believe I'm starting to envy mybestie...

Meng Wanyu let out a sigh at the thought of that.

"Hey, easy there! I'm not your husband, so you don't have to hug me so tightly!"

Ye Fan's cold voice snapped Meng Wanyu out of her daze.

She was squeezing him so hard that he felt a little uncomfortable from it.

"Y-You... You jerk!" Meng Wanyu shouted angrily with her face all red.

Meanwhile, a fancy manor that nearly spanned half of Norwal City had been decorated with beautiful flowers.

The guests gave their blessings and congratulations as they entered the manor.

"Congratulations on becoming related to the Chu family, Mr. Jones!"

"Yeah! No one will dare to defy you now!"

Although the courtyard was merry with the sounds of guests chatting and cheering, the atmosphere in one of the rooms within the manor was deathly quiet. "Are you there, Ms. Jones?"

"We're here under Mr. Jones' orders to help with the fitting."

A few servants stood outside the door with the wedding gown and evening dress in hand.

Tomorrow was the day of Angie's wedding, so they had to get the fitting done by that night. However, Angie refused to leave the room no matter how much they called out to her. In fact, she didn't even touch the food they sent her.

"What do we do? The wedding is tomorrow, and we're still not done with the fitting!" one of the servants exclaimed anxiously.

This is bad... We can't possibly bear the consequences if anything goes wrong with the wedding tomorrow!

"What's going on? Is Ms. Jones still refusing to open the door?"

Nuo's voice came from behind all of a sudden.

The servants immediately pleaded with him, "Please talk to Ms. Jones, Nuo! She always listens to you!"

Nuo nodded. "All right. Hand me the stuff, and you may go about your business. I'll talk to Ms. Jones and get this settled."

Just like that, Nuo took the dresses over from them and sent them off.

He waited until there was no one else around before knocking on the door.

"It's me, Ms. Jones. Please open the door. I have something to tell you."

Nuo called out to her several times, but there was no response.

"It's about that young man from China. Are you sure you don't want to hear it?" he added.

As he had expected, mentioning that keyword worked like a charm, and the room door was opened shortly after.

The look in Nuo's eyes turned gloomy when he entered and saw how pale Angie looked.

My goodness... What has happened to the Jones family's beautiful, adorable, and lively daughter?

Tears rolled down Nuo's eyes as he knelt down before her and said, "Ms. Jones, why would you torment yourself like this? How will I ever face your late mother?"

Nuo's eyes were filled with pain and sympathy.

"If that is all you came to say, then please leave, Mr. Nuo."

Hearing Angie's weak voice only hurt Nuo even further.

"Ms. Jones, I came here to tell you that you mustn't give up. Ms. Wanyu has already gone looking for Ye Fan in China, so they are most probably on their way here right now. Given how powerful Ye Fan is, I'm sure he'll be able to get you out of here once he arrives. Please do not lose hope, Ms. Jones!" he advised.

Angie's dull eyes lit up with hope the moment she heard that Ye Fan was coming.

"Is this true, Mr. Nuo? Is Ye Fan really coming for me? You're not lying to me, are you?" she asked excitedly.

"It's true, Ms. Jones. Ms. Wanyu has already headed over to China a few days ago. You mustn't lose hope at a time like this. I'm sure it would pain Ye Fan to see you in this state. Who knows, he might even stop liking you! Young men like him love pretty women, after all!" Nuo tried his best to comfort her.

"All right, I'll do as you say, Mr. Nuo. Still, I'm scared that he might not make it here in time. It'll all be too late if he gets here after tomorrow."

The light in Angie's eyes dimmed as she said that.

"No, I'm sure Ye Fan will arrive here on time. Besides, even if he isn't able to make it, I'll still help you escape this place. If you trust me, then please eat your food and get the fitting done. Your father and the others are more likely to lower their guard if you are cooperative. That'll increase Ye Fan's chances of getting you out of here."
