A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 359 Over the Line

"Time really changes a lot of things. People who used to be so close to me have all changed. Ye Fan, seriously, sometimes I wish I didn't have to grow up. Happiness used to be so simple. There was no competition or backstabbing, and you didn't have to consider profits or desires. Everything was pure and simple, like the sky in front of us."

Qiu Mu-Cheng seemed to have recalled a lot things that happened during her childhood.

They all lived together in her grandfather's house and played together and laughed together. Sometimes they would fight over ice cream or something like that, but soon after, they would forget all about it and continue to play together.

At that time, there weren't so many cars on the road and the buildings were not as high as they were now, but everyone's face always carried the smile that they no longer had now.

But without them realizing, the three female cousins of the Qiu family had all

grown up.

And what made Qiu Mu-Cheng feel sad was how Qiu Mu-Ying was no longer the same.

She had been completely disfigured and changed by this materialistic society.

After hearing Qiu Mu-Cheng's dejected words, Ye Fan smiled faintly and consoled her, "That's right. Time does change many things. It makes those we were once familiar with become strange, and it makes those who were strange become familiar. It changes everything around us."

"But Mu-Cheng, isn't that the joy of life? If we don't grow up, then we'd never become strong and we'd never gain the ability to protect the ones dear to us. We'd never be able to complete the things that we weren't able to before. And more importantly, if we never grew up, then how would I have met you?" Ye Fan's gentle voice had a strange charm in it.

Ye Fan looked at the beautiful young lady in front of him as he said these words. His

deep eyes were filled with affection and gratefulness.

That was affection for someone he loved, and gratefulness for the passing of time.

He was grateful that time had allowed him to meet this beautiful woman at the best moment possible.

For that moment, Qiu Mu-Cheng froze.

Her beautiful face was filled with a strange feeling of being moved.

Qiu Mu-Cheng looked up and just stared at him while in a daze.

She felt that she could see the clouds rising in his eyes, and she seemed to be able to see thousands of leaves fall too.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was filled with much fondness and affection.

She wished she could gather the courage to tell this man that she could also feel that time had been good to her and she was grateful that she had met this wonderful man during her best years. The autumn wind blew through the falling leaves. The orange and yellow leaves rustled next to their ears.

Without realizing it, Qiu Mu-Cheng had already closed her eyes. Her pretty face was covered in a seductive blush, and her heart was beating wildly.

Just like that, their hearts slowly moved towards one another.

Qiu Mu-Cheng could already hear Ye Fan's breathing, while Ye Fan could already smell the fragrance from his beloved.

But just when their breaths were about to be intertwined and their lips were just an inch away from one another, a voice rang out from behind them and completely destroyed the romantic moment! "Master Ye, Master Ye! Phew! Master Ye, it's been so hard for me to find you and I've finally run into you today. I'm so glad I caught up with you, otherwise I'd miss you again," said Gu Long-En as he ran and panted at the same time after he caught up with Ye Fan.

Gu Long-En's heart was filled with great excitement and joy to see Ye Fan again.

His sudden appearance had completely ruined the moment between Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had already turned her face away and the embarrassment on her face made her as red as a ripe peach. If you pinched her cheeks you might get some peach juice.

What came over her just now?

What was she going to do with Ye Fan?

Was she going to kiss him?!

Qiu Mu-Cheng felt her heart beat wildly when she thought of what happened moments ago. She was embarrassed, but also in disbelief.

She had no idea what had come over her earlier. She felt like she had gone into a daze and actually felt like she was floating.

Was this the power of hormones?

Was this the feeling of being in love?

Could this man have already conquered her heart? Had she really fallen in love with him? Had she really reached that stage?

Qiu Mu-Cheng was a little frightened, but when she thought about these things, her eyes stole a glance at Ye Fan but she quickly looked away again as if she was afraid of being discovered. Qiu Mu-Cheng still found it hard to steady her heart.

Even though they stopped just before it happened, that feeling was quite amazing to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Just like Adam and Eve who had eaten the forbidden fruit, Qiu Mu-Cheng felt a strange sense of joy in her heart.

But Ye Fan wasn't feeling so wonderful at this moment. His expression fell when Gu

Long-En interrupted them.

He felt like he had been screwed over.

"What are you doing here?" snapped Ye Fan in annoyance as he glared at Gu Long-En. Nobody would be in a good mood if they were interrupted at such a time.

If someone else spoke to Gu Long-En like this, this old man would have exploded on him.

But since it was Ye Fan, Master Gu wasn't angry at all and even grinned, "Master Ye, it's nothing really. It's about the matter I mentioned the last time about my granddaughter, do you remember?" "My granddaughter has come home for the holidays, so I thought of treating you to a meal so that you two can meet. Don't worry, my daughter is really pretty and has a good figure, so she's definitely no less than Su Yuan-Shan's daughter. Master Ye, if you have time tonight, we could have dinner tonight and get to know each other better?" Gu Long-En was clearly trying to make Ye Fan his grandson-in-law. "No!" Before Ye Fan could answer, Qiu Mu-Cheng was instantly upset and refused Gu Long-En on the spot.

"Hmm?" Gu Long-En was also upset with this response and he looked at Qiu Mu-Cheng. "Ah, I remember. You're Su Yuan-Shan's daughter's best friend, Miss Qiu right? Master Ye's boss, right?" Gu Long-En was getting on in age but his memory was pretty good.

He remembered Qiu Mu-Cheng. Back at Shanshui Hall, Su Qian said that Qiu Mu-Cheng was the CEO of a company and Ye Fan was her driver. Gu Long-En remembered all of that.

"Miss Qiu, Master Ye is your driver, so it makes sense for you to control his activities at work. But this is private affair, so don't you think you're stepping over the line? Miss Qiu, I'd advise you to correct your position on this."

Gu Long-En was polite to Ye Fan because he treated Ye Fan as his teacher. But he wasn't so polite to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

He even felt that this was unfair to Ye Fan and felt that Qiu Mu-Cheng had stepped over the line as his superior.

She already controlled him at work and now she wanted to have control over his private life?
