A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1836
"You know, Ye Fan, I might be overstepping here, but listen to me.
"You're getting older and should get married soon.
"The matter is not urgent for your sister because she is stunning. I'm certain she will find a good man in the future.
"You see, we live in an age where women have an advantage over these things.
"Hence, you can't afford to keep wasting your time.
"I'm not trying to be mean to you, but look at how things are right now. You don't have a house or money in Livingsfill. To make matters worse, you have a dead-end job.
"Your only advantage is that you're still young and handsome.
"Once you reach thirty years old... Trust me, no woman would want to marry you then.
"So, listen to me and go on more blind dates.
"I'll help you look around as well.
"I know quite a few young ladies. They aren't the most beautiful women or the ones with the best personalities, but there is one thing I can guarantee you. They will surely lead a good life with you. "A wife is not like a girlfriend. The most important thing is to find someone you will live a peaceful life with."
With all the jokes out of the way, Yue Yingchun began nagging at Ye Fan and worrying about him.
She didn't know much about Ye Fan and Junie, but they had been living together for about two weeks. Hence, she had a general idea of what was going on.
She assumed that they were just like the youngsters that had traveled over for work.
That assumption was understandable. After all, it had been years, and almost everyone who had rented their place was a factory worker.
After Yue Yingchun finished speaking, Hu Yipengsaid, "Ye Fan, don't be angry at my wife for being nosy. She has always been that straightforward and would say whatever is on her mind.
"Truth is, my wife and I see you as a righteous man who works hard. You seem like a dependable guy who can be trusted, and that is why she nags a little.
"A few hooligans used to live here, and my wife never bothered trying to introduce any ladies to them. In fact, she chased them away with a broom. "Dishonest men are trouble, and we refused to rent our place to them despite the money they offered."
Hu Yipeng worried that Ye Fan would get angry, so the former spoke up for his wife.
Ye Fan, however, was surprisingly calm. After a chuckle, he shamelessly said, "I understand where you are coming from, so don't worry about that. "The two of you are amazing people, and I thank you for your concerns.
"However, I have no intention of getting married soon.
"Look at me. I'm broke and have no assets. No one would want to marry a fool like me. In fact, I will just ruin a nice lady's life if I marry her."
Ye Fan came up with an excuse to get out of the
situation.
Jeez, I actually have a wife, you know? I mean... I don't know IfQiu Mucheng will actually take me back, but there is no way I'd go look for another woman. "Oh, don't say that, Ye Fan.
"You may be broke, but you are not useless. At the very least, you can get a woman pregnant, can't you?
"There are so many rich families out there who are looking for a man to marry into their families.
"What do you think about that?
"It might be a little embarrassing, but there really is nothing bad about it. At the very least, you'd be set for life," said Yue Yingchun.
Ye Fan's expression darkened right away.
What the heck? Why does everyone think that I should be a kept man? Do I have a face that makes me look useless?
Ye Fan looked aggrieved while Junie, who was sitting at the side, started giggling nonstop.
Her beautiful voice was as melodious as a chirping bird.
"Oh, you pesky woman. Stop laughing, or I will arrange a marriage for you and make you the bride of a youngster!"
Ye Fan glared evilly at Junie, then complained internally.
That stupid woman. It's bad enough she's not helping, but she's also celebrating my misery.
"So, what do you think? The worst thing that could happen is that your kids won't have your surname," said Yue Yingchun.
What do I think? There is no way I'll freaking accept that! I am the only heir in the family, and I will be too ashamed to face my ancestors if my son does not have my surname.
Naturally, it wasn't just about the surname. The point was that Ye Fan would never be a kept man.
That was why Ye Fan parted his lips to turn that offer down.
Unfortunately, before he could do so, Yue Yingchun shook her head and said, "Ah, wait. That won't do. A rich family would want a handsome lad to be their kept man. Your skin is too rough and tanned, so they probably won't accept you."
"..."
Ye Fan was stunned in place.
He had the sudden urge to curse.
I haven't even turned the offer down, an e's already assuming that I will be rejected. What the f*ck? I am the Hall Master f the Dragon God Hall and placed first in the Sky Ranking. D*mn, how fallen...
Ye Fan didn't even know if he should laugh or cry at that moment.
Junie, however, was snickering so much that she was trembling.
She had seen Ye Fan shining brilliantly many times, so she thought it was rather interesting to see him being dissed to that extent.
Years later, Junie would think back on her adventure with Ye Fan, and the moments she would remember most fondly were their time in Livingsfill.
It wasn't glamorous or plentiful, but theirtime there was warm and stable.
After going through all the adventure, it seemed that a person would inevitably realize that happiness came from stability.
The simple pleasures of life were way more precious than the highs that came from being at the top.
"Don't be sad, Ye Fan. If you really can't find anyone to marry you, then I will be your bride after I grow up."
As Tangtang spoke, she stroked Ye Fan's head like how he did to her before. She even had a straight face on when she made that promise.
Ye Fan truly... "appreciated" the kid comforting him like that. "T-Thank you," said Ye Fan in an annoyed tone.
That meal ended with Ye Fan feeling ever so defeated.
"Junie, do I just have a face that makes others think I should be a kept man?
"All those years ago, I married into my wife's family because I had no choice. I had to keep a low profile.
"But now... Now, I'm globally renowned, and still, I am asked to be a kept man.
"F*cking hell. Is this just how my fate is?"
After retiring to the room, Ye Fan stomped around and complained about the previous conversation he had. Junie smiled in amusement. "You should stop fantasizing about that. No rich family would want you."
Ye Fan's face fell right away. "You annoying woman.
You're just itching to be slapped, aren't you?"
As Ye Fan spoke, he pushed Junie to the bed and smacked her lightly.
"Ye Fan, I just boiled some water. Do you need it?"
Creak!
The door to the room opened at that moment, and Yue Yingchun entered with a kettle of boiling water.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Junie on the bed while Ye Fan hovered over her.
Dumbstruck, Yue Yingchun stared at them and screamed, "You crazy punk, don't even think about it. She's your sister!"
Yue Yingchun hurried over to rescue Junie from Ye Fan.
Sigh...
"I think we'll have to hurry and find a wife for Ye Fan. That punk is so sexually frustrated that he has gone crazy," said Yue Yingchun as she turned to her husband.
Yue Yingchun glared at Ye Fan a little before she sighed again and led Hu Yipeng back to their room.
Naturally, Yue Yingchun brought Junie along with her.
"Uh, wait, that is a misunderstanding. Listen to me. It's not what you think. It's just a freaking misunderstanding. Junie, tell them the truth."
Ye Fan had a troubled expression on. He hurried over to explain the situation and save his reputation.
Unfortunately, Yue Yingchun didn't believe a word he said. She ignored him and gave Junie some advice. "Junie, stay away from your brother when the night falls. Men go crazy after they have been single for too long. They can't control themselves." "Okay, I understand," replied Junie as she nodded.
Those words almost knocked Ye Fan to his knees.
What the hell? What does she mean when she says she understands? D*mn it, that woman is deliberately messing with me and making everyone misunderstand the situation!
"And just like that, my reputation as the Hall Master is ruined..."
Ye Fan was drowning in sorrow and annoyance.
Junie, however, was secretly smiling. A beautiful smile decorated her stunning face, and it was breathtaking.
