A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1835

"Let's go, Junie. We should head back. The Jiangbei auction will probably start tomorrow. I'll go to India with you after the auction is over and will settle some old scores for you."

Ye Fan changed the topic right away. Perhaps he didn't want to dwell on the previous topic, but he was quick to get Junie to prepare fortheir trip back.

Junie, however, was slightly taken aback. "My old score?"

"Huh? Have you forgotten about it? Years ago, I promised I'd help you exact your revenge," replied Ye Fan as he stared strangely at her.

Those words reminded Junie of that promise.

The stoic expression on her beautiful face finally turned into a smile.

"Ah, so you remember that promise. I thought you forgot about it ages ago," murmured Junie.

She spoke softly, and her tone was even, but there was no doubt that she was touched by that gesture.

It had been a long time, so she didn't expect Ye Fan to rememberthat promise.

Huh... I thought that guy only ever paid attention to the matters regarding the Chu family and the Chu Sect.

"I would never forget that. As far as I am concerned, your problems are my problems. I might forget about everything else, but I will never forget anything that bothered you. The truth is, I was going to go to India after my first trip back from the Chu Sect.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and I went to Mount Chumen in a fit of anger. Speaking of that, I've been meaning to apologize to you for this. I'm sorry I kept you waiting for so many years. I should've killed that jerk ages ago."

So many years had passed, and Junie had done so much for the Dragon God Hall.

There were many times when Ye Fan's life hung in the balance, and Junie was almost always the one who brought him back to life.

Even right at that moment, Junie was going all out to help. She was in a foreign country at the time, but she dropped everything and came running as soon as she learned that her skills were needed. In fact, she took a flight back to Jiangdong the very night she received

that phone call.

After all that, she stayed awake for an entire week just to plan for and administer Ye Fan's treatment, all to help Ye Fan recover and make sure he was in tiptop condition.

How could anyone ever repay a debt like that?

Junie had done so, so much for Ye Fan, and the only thing he could do in return was to help her exact her vengeance.

Hence, he decided to accompany Junie back to her country as soon as the auction in Jiangbei was over.

He planned to murderthe King of India, Fen Tian!

"Oh, please don't. Given your current condition, you won't be able to fight as well as you used to. You might fail to exact my revenge and end up being slain instead. Seriously, I wouldn't know how to face your wife and son if you were to die because of me. For now, just be good and recover well. We will have the last ingredient for your medicine after this auction is over, and you should fully recover soon after. Come on. Let's not talk about this now. Let's head back."

Junie didn't wait for a response. As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked toward the place they lived.

What Ye Fan never noticed, however, was that her beautiful eyes were glimmering with tears when she turned around.

To Ye Fan, he was simply keeping the promise he made ages ago.

On the other hand, Junie saw that as the most touching gesture there was.

Ah, so I'm not alone. There are still people in this world that cares about me. It's a pleasant sensation to have someone care about me.

"I'm surprised. Your son looks just like you. He doesn't take after his mother at all."

As they traveled back, Junie and Ye Fan chatted.

Ye Fan, however, smiled bitterly and sweated a little before replying, "Hey, don't make weird comments like that. He's not my biological son. The boy was abandoned, and my mom adopted him. I'm not sure why, but Mucheng is raising the kid now."

Junie was surprised to hearthat. "Huh? That's not your son? You're kidding me, right? Do you realize how similarthe two of you looked? Oh, wait. I think I know what's happening here. You're lying because you don't want to admit that you cheated."

Junie rolled her eyes after that. It was obvious she didn't believe a word Ye Fan said earlier.

"I'm not lying. You've been to my place before, so I'm sure you've met the tiny rascal my mom had with her," replied Ye Fan while grinning exasperatedly.

The truth, however, was that Ye Fan was rather confused as well.

Qiu Mufan looked way too similar to Ye Fan.

In fact, when they first met, Ye Fan thought that the kid was actually his biological son.

He didn't know what was going on until after he asked Han about it.

"Now that you mention it, I do recall that," replied Junie while nodding.

They reached their destination soon after and had to end their conversation.

At the time, they had limited funds and needed to keep a low profile, so they rented a small place in Livingsfill.

"Ye Fan, Junie, you guys are so slow. I waited for so, so long. Hurry over. My mom has dinner ready, and we're all waiting for the two of you. Ugh, I'm famished."

A girl, whose hair was tied into a cute ponytail and was about seven or eight years old, stood there.

She smiled when she saw Ye Fan and Junie finally showing up, and she ran over to them.

As she complained, she dragged them into the house.

The little girl was so hungry that her stomach had been grumbling.

"Tangtang, tell your mom not to wait for us next time. You can eat away and just leave some food for us."

Ye Fan stroked the girl's tiny head lovingly while smiling.

The beautiful girl was the landlord's daughter, Tangtang.

Ye Fan was renting their place at the time.

The neighborhood was filled with houses, and almost every family had some empty rooms in their place. Those rooms were often rented to someone else.

The rent for a room was only a few hundred for a month, so it was incredibly cheap.

Ye Fan had stayed there for about two weeks, and in that time, he got to know the landlord and his family and vice versa.

"Wow, that smells so good. Are those dumplings?"

Ye Fan could smell the delicious food before he even entered the house.

He acted like a kid after that and ran to the dining table. He was even quicker than Tangtang.

"Hey, you little punk! Have you washed your hands? Go wash your hands right away, young man. Geez, you're setting such a bad example for Tangtang."

Ye Fan was about to grab some dumplings when someone smacked his hand with a pair of chopsticks.

A middle-aged woman with washed-out clothes was glaring at Ye Fan in distaste at that moment.

She was the lady of the house, Yue Yingchun.

Sitting beside her was her husband, Hu Yipeng.

Hu Yipeng got into an accident a few years ago while working at a construction site. As a result, he became disabled and had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair. The silver lining was that he was, in a way, protected by his ancestors. He inherited a house in Livingsfill, where the cost of properties was ridiculously high.

The family lived a frugal life, and Yue Yingchun did part-time jobs, so they were able to make ends meet.

"Hahaha, aww, don't complain, Yingchun. I used to behave that way when I returned home after a long day at work," said Hu Yipeng after chuckling.

He was an extrovert who enjoyed the noise because it made the place seem lively.

"That still won't do. I don't care how hungry he is. He can wait a few seconds longer and wash his hands first. Junie is so much better. She is hygienic and lovely.

"She is such an amazing girl. It's a pity she'll probably marry someone in the future," said Yue Yingchun. The more she interacted with Junie, the more she found Junie amazing. It's too bad she'll have to marry someone in the future and move out.

"Hahaha, that is an easy problem to fix. All you have to do is play a little more with your husband and get pregnant with a chubby boy. After that, I will arrange a marriage between your baby and my sister," said Ye Fan.

"Hey, that's a brilliant idea," replied Hu Yipeng. The two men chuckled away soon after.

"Oh, shut it. Geez, the two of you are such troublemakers," commented Yue Yingchun as she lightly smacked Hu Yipeng's head. She blushed a little, seemingly embarrassed.

"Oh no, what do we do, Ye Fan? It seems my dear wife is against the idea of playing with me."

Under the florescent lights, laughter filled the place.

The warmth and sweetness would make anyone feel happy.
