A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1718

Angie was young and was as pretty as a picture when she embarked on her first overseas voyage.

Through the plane's window, she saw the wide blue yonder, the gentle waters, and stars dotting the entire sky.

The sounds of the rumbling engine were like a gentle ballad to Angie.

This unanticipated departure launched her into an ecstasy of hope and bliss.

She kept imagining how Ye Fan would react when he saw her. Would he be surprised? Would he be too stunned to speak?

"He's definitely going to be stupefied. Haha..." This young lady giggled uncontrollably at her thoughts.

The passenger seated next to her was absolutely enthralled by her dainty smile and laughter.

What a loveable and sweet little thing! He couldn't move his eyes away from her. Everything about Angie -her beauty, gentility, and cutesy gestures-was a pure allurement to him.

That reminded this man in the forties of his youth. He jogged down the memory lane and thought of another young girl that lay in his embrace when he was younger.

Of course, Angie was oblivious to the reactions around her.

Her mind was solely focused on the meeting with Ye Fan. Something that was going to happen very soon.

The more she thought about it, the more she looked forward to it.

She then hummed along to the music that was playing in her headphones.

"And I don't know how it gets better than this.

"You take my hand and drag me head first, fearless.

"And I don't know why,

"But with you I'd dance in a storm

"In my best dress, fearless.

"Oh..."

Her clear sweet voice harmonized immaculately with the melodic tune.

Angie's innocence and chirpiness added some merriment to everyone's otherwise dull flight.

Her carefree behavior had some effect on the man next to her he started singing too!

"So baby drive slow, til' we run out of road in this one-horse town.

"I wanna stay right here in this passenger seat. You put your eyes on me.

"In this moment now capture it, remember it..."

The same song sparked two vastly different feelings in Angie and the man. To her, it was a song filled with hope, and to him, it was pieces of memories that came flowing back to him.

In short, every soul had their unique story to tell.

She had a man whom she missed, and he had a girl who got away.

While Angie traversed through the night sky, Ye Fan enjoyed the caress of the sun.

Mucheng was still planning what to wear for her honeymoon. Her clothes had occupied every inch of space on the bed.

Women are sometimes mind-boggling to watch. Take Mucheng as an example. She only wanted to buy a dress initially, but it would need a matching pair of shoes. That wasn't the only concern. She would also need a suitable bra to be worn under the dress.

Of course, a sunhat and a pair of sunglasses were necessary for a honeymoon. After getting the full gear, she thought the dress didn't look right with the whole ensemble and had to buy another one. That process kept repeating, resulting in a garment-flooded bed.

As for Ximei, she was busy planning the baby shower for the young boy she took in. She was going to invite friends and families for a photo session with the baby.

It was apparent that she treated this kiddo like her biological grandchild from the way she went out of her way to organize the celebration.

In addition to that, she started calling the baby Fan Junior. Perhaps that was her way of hastening the newlyweds to make babies?

Ye Fan was peeved that Ximei gave the child a nickname so similarto his name.

"I'm Ye Fan, and you call him Fan Junior? How would people think of us? They are going to assume that this child is mine, aren't they?"

"I don't care. You and Mucheng were taking your own sweet time. If you had a child, I wouldn't have given this baby that name. Hmph!" Ximei huffed.

Ye Fan didn't know what to say to that. Mucheng, who was standing next to him, blushed from their conversation. She started pinching Ye Fan discreetly as if she, too, was blaming him.

It's all your fault. We should've had a baby sooner. See what'd happened? Your mom just gave that nickname of supposedly our boy to another baby!

Ye Fan could read what was going on in Mucheng's head. He was speechless. Basically, everything was his fault.

Although Ye Fan was spending a good deal of time with his family, he still paid heed to the ongoings at Dragon God Hall. The Dragon Slayers, who were under the command of

Ye Fan, were still encamped in Jiangdong because the issue with the Chu family had yet to come to an end.

Ye Fan would quite often meet up with them for a drink or two and would sometimes advise them on their martial skills. What was bugging him the most, though, was the roguish Gaius.

It had only been a few days since his arrival in Jiangdong, and he had already slept with the wife of a local tycoon.

Raving mad, that tycoon encircled the Ye's residence and wanted them to surrender Gaius.

Gaius, the root cause of the hurly-burly, was completely unruffled. Lei San, on the other hand, was scared out of his wits.

The latter was under the hands of a pretty masseuse at a spa when he got the news. He literally jumped off the massage bed and rushed to the Ye's residencein only a pair of boxers. He didn't even have his shoes on!

The tycoon eventually let Gaius off the hook after an apology and some monetary compensation from Ye

Fan.

Ye Fan thought Gaius would behave, at least slightly, after the episode.

He thought wrong. Gaius was incorrigible and knew no shame. Last night, a man came to the Ye residence and complained about Gaius wooing his daughter, who had just started attending university. "Gaius, you filthy old man! She's so young that you are old enough to be her father! What gives you the audacity to seek romance with a university student? You hooked up with a middle-aged lady, fine, I get it. Laying your hands on a young girl? Really? You'd better keep your hands off the cookie jar, or you would one day die because of that!" Ye Fan didn't hold back his words of fury.

He lambasted Gaius while the other Dragon Slayers were enjoying some good food in his courtyard.

"Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, Master," Gaius sulked.

"I wonder how old the little princess from the Jones family is. She's younger than a university student, isn't she?

"Oh, and the head of the Chu Sect! She's not that old but senior enough to be your mother, right?"

F*ckyou! Ye Fan was ticked off.

"I dare you to repeat yourself!" And he kicked Gaius onto the floor.

"Master, this is called tyranny! You get to do whatever you want, but I'm not allowed to do the same stuff!

"Kill me, if that's what you want. I'll stand against you till the day I die!" Gaius shouted.

The rest of the Dragon Slayers burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Neither anyone of you is an honorable gentleman. The only thing that sets you two apart is your age!" Owen nodded in agreement.

After laughing their heads off, they went back to talking about serious matters.

"Master, are you really planning to retire after the Chu family's issue is settled?" "You aren't going to f eking rule?"

"You will be the boss once you win the Chu Sect!" "We are going to kill every b*stard of the Chu family."

The Dragon Slayers had plenty of things to say about Ye Fan's decision to retire.

"Not Ms. Tang, though. We need her to be the second lady of Dragon God Hall. Hahaha!" That was Gaius.

Ye Fan was so fed up with Gaius and his dirty thoughts that he didn't bother to respond to the latter.

He gave him another kick before speaking again. "You all have been following me since the dawn of time, and you should know that I'm not after fame, fortune, status, nor am I after power. I am what I am today because of persistence and grit.

"But since I don't have any more goals to strive for now, there's no need for me to work hard anymore. It's not too bad to just chill and be a lazy bum and a live-in son-in-law, isn't it? Hahaha!" The joke that Ye Fan was trying to crack was actually his wishes.

Ye Fan was, in reality, an indolent person. He never had any grandiose ambitions until that obsession hit him. All he wanted to be was an average joe, like what his mom hoped for him to live simply and peacefully.

"Oh my! Hahaha! Master, great minds think alike! I've always wanted to get to Spaunia after finishing my quest. You know, find a rich lady to marry and be a live-in son-in-law like you, Master.

"I'll be making love to her at night and spending my pocket money on sweet young babes in the day. That's the life I wanna live! I'm so done with working hard." That shameless Gaius had already planned his retirement in detail.
