A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 468 You Two Can Continue

Xu Lei knew a little about Ye Fan and the Chu family.

After Ye Fan was chased out of the Chu family, Xu Lei had been very worried about his situation. She had eventually set up Hongqi Group so that she could find Ye Fan and provide him a safe place to live and develop.

But unfortunately, the corporation that she built from scratch was taken away by the Xu family.

The person-in-charge in Yunzhou right now was sent by the Xu family.

But Ye Fan's achievements had surpassed Xu Lei's expectations.

Since he could make the Xue family bend to his will, then her so called powerful Hongqi Group wasn't much to him, right?

But Ye Fan didn't bother being humble after receiving this compliment. Instead, he smiled back proudly, "Of course, do you know whose Fan I am? My Lei is so pretty and talented, so if I'm not capable enough, then I won't be able to protect you, and you might have to protect me instead. Isn't that very embarrassing for me as a man?"

Ye Fan's words were like the warm spring breeze and Xu Lei felt that they were exceptionally warm and sweet.

Her eyes started to turn a little red.

Xu Lei had been working so hard all by herself all these years. Her parents had passed away and her family was heartless.

The only person who was nice to her now was probably Fan.

"Lei, what's wrong?" asked Ye Fan worriedly when he noticed she looked strange.

Xu Lei shook her head and suppressed the emotions in her heart. She then put a smile back on and said, "Fan, you're just humoring me. If you were bothered about being embarrassed, then why would you have married into the Qiu family?"

"Even if you couldn't find a wife, you didn't have to put yourself through such suffering. If you really couldn't find anyone there's always me..."

Xu Lei's face reddened as she spoke. The last sentence was so soft that it was barely audible, and she wasn't sure if Ye Fan heard her.

Ye Fan scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "Well, the situation called for it then, so I didn't have much choice. But Lei, you don't have to feel bad for me. Mu-Cheng is actually quite nice to me, but she's a little aloof and even though we're married for so long, she doesn't let me sleep with her."

Ye Fan didn't feel the need to hide anything from Xu Lei.

When they were children, Ye Fan had already viewed her as his best friend, and now she was like his real younger sister.

He didn't care about whether it was embarrassing or not, and just spoke his mind.

But after hearing this, Xu Lei couldn't help but chortle.

"Fan, you've been married for so long but..." Xu Lei covered her mouth and continued to stifle her laughter.

Her laughter was muffled but it was still so pleasant to the ears.

If someone else were here, they would have been mesmerized by Xu Lei's beautiful smiling face.

But Ye Fan wasn't in the mood to appreciate this scenery. His expression darkened.

"You terrible little girl, how dare you laugh at me? Did you think that just because you're all grown up and you're now the goddess of Jiangdong and a scary CEO, I wouldn't dare to teach you a lesson?" Ye Fan said fiercely to Xu Lei and looked like he was going to beat her up.

But Xu Lei wasn't scared at all. She said that she was wrong and wouldn't do this again, but also continued to laugh merrily.

In her mind, Fan had always been a prideful man.

No matter how much humiliation he went through in the Chu house, he never gave in to anybody.

Even when faced with so many powerful families in Yanjing, Ye Fan continued to face them coldly and used his sheer might to step on half of Yanjing with one foot.

But Xu Lei really found it hard to imagine that this man who was hailed a hero and admired by so many bigshots in Jiangdong was actually of such low status in his own family.

He had been married three years but he couldn't even sleep with his wife.

Xu Lei should have sympathized with him, but she really couldn't stop laughing. Her laughter continued to tinkle and she doubled over with laughter.

"You terrible girl, you're still laughing? Don't you care about my feelings? If you continue laughing, I'm going to pinch your face!" Ye Fan's expression darkened as he continued to scold her and even threatened her now.

But that terrible girl continued to laugh, so Ye Fan stretched his hands out to threaten to pinch her little face.

"Fan, I was wrong, don't, don't!" Xu Lei started to beg for mercy while still laughing.

"Mr Chu, Old Master Xue asked me to send something to you..."

At this juncture, the room door was pushed open and Xue Ming-Xin walked in with an exquisite metal box.

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that Xu Lei's clothes were a little messy and her face was red as Ye Fan pushed her down on the sofa, and she was still telling him 'don't, don't".

"LJ'm sorry. Mr Chu, I didn't know you and Miss Xu were...Er, I'll leave it here, you two...can continue."

Xue Ming-Xin's face twitched and he immediately felt terrified and awkward.

He left the item there and walked out.

"How stupid of me, I should have knocked first. But Mr Chu is really in a hurry. It's not even dark yet," Xue Ming-Xin uttered regretfully and reproached himself outside the door. He was so frightened. But he also shook his head and laughed bitterly.

It was great to be young. You could do anything.

"But I didn't expect the second daughter of the Xu family to be so gentle when lying below Mr Chu, since she's usually so aloof and elegant..."

Xue Ming-Xin both envied and admired Ye Fan now.

It was true that once you had power, all other good things followed.

Xue Ming-Xin left quickly and wasn't going to disturb their activities.

But it felt a little awkward between Ye Fan and Xu Lei now.

"Er... Lei, don't mind him, I'll slap that terrible fellow's face for saying such nonsense. How dare he spout nonsense..."

Ye Fan had already left the sofa the moment Xue Ming-Xin misunderstood them.

Even though the two of them were like siblings, they weren't children anymore and so they had to take care of their image.

If someone else misunderstood, Ye Fan didn't really care, but Xu Lei's reputation was at stake here.

If word of this got out, how was she going to get married?

"F-Fan, I'm fine, I'm not bothered," said Xu Lei shyly as her face was all red and lowered. She felt too embarrassed to look at Ye Fan.

The air in the room became rather awkward.

Ye Fan felt weird all over, so he looked around to change the topic.

He noticed the metal box that Xue Ren-Yang had gotten Xue Ming-Xin to send to the room.

"Oh my, this metal box is really exquisite. I suppose it's a gift from Xue Ren-Yang. Lei, why don't we open it up to see?" Ye Fan grinned.

Xu Lei nodded. Her face wasn't so red anymore after Ye Fan changed the topic.

Then she looked at Ye Fan's hands.

He didn't hesitate and opened it with a loud sound.

But his expression fell again when he saw what was inside.
