A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1901

Time seemed to have stopped at that instant, causing the wind to stop blowing and the water to stop flowing.

All that was left was a woman leaning against another man's chest.

Everything felt as if it would extend into eternity.

After an unknown period of time, the man finally let go of Qiu Mucheng and turned to leave without saying a word.

"Can you tell me who you are?"

Watching the man's leaving silhouette, she was filled with curiosity.

For some reason, the stranger gave her a sense of indescribable familiarity.

She felt as if she had run into someone who was close to her in his past life.

In fact, she felt especially warm and comforted in his embrace.

The delight that filled her heart was similar to that of a fish who had returned to the water.

All this while, only one man could melt her heart that way.

Unfortunately, that man was no longer around, for she had seen his dead body buried with her own eyes. However, she didn't expect to encounter another man who made her feel the exact same way in Jiangbei.

It was just that she couldn't see his face from underneath the mask he was wearing.

In spite of that, she could feel the intimacy he exuded as if he was her fated soulmate.

All of a sudden, her heart began to beat furiously as she nervously asked the man for his name.

However, he simply ignored her.

Qiu Mucheng pressed on with her questions, "May I know if you know Ye Fan?"

Despite being shaken, the man maintained his silence.

After that, he picked up his pace and left swiftly.

At that moment, Qiu Mucheng hadn't noticed that her son had returned to her side. Raising his adorable little face, he looked in the direction the man had gone and asked Qiu Mucheng, "Mommy, it's Daddy. Did he come to visit us?"

Qiu Mucheng didn't even know how to answer him.

Why does that man give me the same vibe as Ye Fan? But since Ye Fan is definitely dead, who can this man be? Or is reincarnation really possible?

"Fan Junior, let's go home now."

Failing to figure the matter out, Qiu Mucheng decided not to dwell on it.

When she looked up again, the man was no longer anywhere to be seen.

Subsequently, Qiu Mucheng led Qiu Mufan home with a tinge of disappointment.

Ever since the Zhang family learned of Qiu Mucheng's relationship with Ye Fan, they protected her from the shadows, resulting in a massive improvement in her circumstances.

By then, Qiu Mucheng had found a job workingas middle management in a listed company.

Not only did she receive a handsome salary, but her company also arranged for her to stay in a high-end residential area close to Westlake. There, she was provided with an apartment that was two hundred square meters big.

With that, Qiu Mucheng's life not only settled into a routine but also continued to make progress.

The only event out of the blue was the sudden appearance of the mysterious man.

It wasn't until the mother and son were no longer in sight that the man hiding in the corner of the street recovered his gaze.

"Mucheng, I'm sorry for not being able to be by your side. The only thing I can do now is shelter you from the storm. Goodbye, Mucheng," Ye Fan bid her farewell in a low voice.

With that, Ye Fan cut a forlorn figure as he turned and left.

In the end, he chose not to reveal himself to Qiu Mucheng.

Once upon a time, he thought that her status as his wife would bring her honor and safety.

In reality, it brought her nothing but suffering and relentless torment.

Therefore, he wasn't going to allow her to get involved in his struggles at that time.

By doing so, he could allow her to live the secure and mundane life of an ordinary citizen.

Perhaps, she can one day grow strong enough to fend for herself. Even if she doesn't, it isn't going to matter, for I will always make sure she is protected, just like a flower in a green room. All you have to do is to bloom, as there will always be someone there to watch over you.

During early spring that year, Ye Fan traveled south to India alone.

When he arrived in Xenhall, he saw huge crowds throng the traffic-packed streets.

While China was still freezing cold from early spring, India had begun to enter summer.

With the blazing sun shining in the sky, the weather was unbelievably scorching.

In spite of that, the hustle and bustle in the streets didn't diminish at all.

As the street was famous as a commercial center, it was filled with vendors calling out from every corner.

Some of the shops were even blaring traditional Indian music through their loudspeakers.

Ye Fan had heard such music before from the movies he watched.

In the movie scenes, the music would always accompany ladies who had jewelry piercings on their noses dancing in flowy dresses.

Since he had never been to India, his impression of the country was formed by such movies.

In his mind, India was a mysterious country where its citizens worship the cow as a holy animal. In fact, they considered the animal's excretion as a form of priceless treasure.

Furthermore, what irked Ye Fan the most was that the Bollywood films from India would always be interspaced with song and dance to the extent Ye Fan

thought he was watching a children's show instead of a serious movie.

Obviously, all this was nothing but a digression, for Ye Fan wasn't in India on a tour or to see its sights.

As Junie had been gone for many days, he had no idea what her current situation was.

As a result, he needed to find her as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, inside a Chinese restaurant, Ye Fan sat by the window, sipping tea and listening to the conversations of the surrounding patrons.

Unfortunately, most of it was just idle chatter.

After listening in for half a day, he didn't hear anything useful at all.

"Mister, are you from China?"

At that moment, a young Caucasian man approached.

He had a head full of blond hair and a tall nose unique to those from Western Epea. As his vibrant-looking clothes complimented his piercing blue eyes, he had the look of Western Epean nobility. "Mmm-hmm." Ye Fan nodded nonchalantly.

"My name is Kieran. It's a pleasure to meet you. Why don't we get to know each other better? After all, fate has brought us here together. My father has always told me to have a wide circle of friends. Hence, I'm happy to get to know someone from China. Don't you have a river called the Brighfell River in your country? I heard that its water level is higher than that of the city. Also, what about the Great Wall? Have you seen it? Does it look majestic? Can you tell me about it? By the way, the food in China is delicious. I just feel that the Chinese restaurants here don't do it justice..."

Given how talkative Kieran was, Ye Fan found him to be annoying.

After humoring Kieran a little, all Ye Fan wanted was for the former to buzz off.

"Kieran, what are you doing? Didn't I tell you not to bother anyone without reason? Are you planning to get yourself cheated again?"

At that moment, a stunning blond girl with green eyes walked out.

With a trench coat that reached her knees, she looked exceptionally regal.

Coupled with her slender waist and long legs, the girl attracted everyone's attention despite the frosty air she exuded.

In fact, many men were astounded by her beauty and just couldn't peel their eyes away from her.

"Winnie,!-"

Just when Kieran wanted to explain, she pulled him back without giving him the opportunity to do so.

At the same time, she warned Ye Fan, "I don't care what your agenda or reason is for approaching my brother. I just want you to stay away from him. Poor people like you refuse to work hard independently. Instead, you try and ingratiate yourself with the rich so as to cheat them of their money. By doing so, you are destined to remain within the bottom rungs of society. And now, just get out of my sight! Interacting with people like you is nothing short of embarrassing for me!"

With an inexplicable sense of hostility, the lady pointed at Ye Fan and threatened him into leaving.
