A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 547 Give Her the Whole World

"Mum, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm already married. It doesn't matter whether other people are single or not or whether they're rich or not," said Qiu Mu-Cheng unhappily.

"So what if you're married? You can always get a divorce! Mu-Cheng, don't tell me you really want to spend the rest of your life with this useless bum?! You've already suffered so much and heard so many insults because of him all these years. You mean that's not enough? Even if you don't think for yourself, then think about your elderly parents. Every time we walk around this neighborhood, we're constantly getting laughed at. In any case, you're going to divorce this useless trash sooner or later!" shouted Han Li at Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Han Li and Qiu Lei couldn't stand Ye Fan at all.

They already didn't like him in the first place, then after Ye Fan actually kicked their basin of water over this afternoon, the two old folks were even more unhappy with him.

"Mum, Ye Fan isn't as terrible as you think. He has plenty of skills but doesn't have to opportunity, that's all," Qiu Mu-Cheng tried to explain for Ye Fan.

"Him? Plenty of skills? If he was really able to do anything, how did he end up being a useless piece of trash for the past three years? Never mind other times. Even your birthday - has this idiot ever given you anything? Every year, your birthday has ended up as a joke! You have been married for three years but he can't afford a house and can't even get a car. He's still squeezing in with us and takes public transport. Don't you think it's embarrassing? Only you would think that this piece of trash is a treasure!" Han Li's face was filled with disdain.

Qiu Mu-Cheng could tell that it was pointless to say anymore. She could only storm back to her own room and ignore Han Li.

After dinner, Ye Fan brought a plate of fruits to Qiu Mu-Cheng's room.

Just when Ye Fan turned to leave, Qiu Mu-

Cheng held him back.

"Ye Fan, let's move out. I don't want to live with Mum and Dad anymore. I'll transfer some money to you, and you can look for a nice place. We can rent somewhere first. Once the company has enough funds and my income is more stable, we can buy our own place and pay by instalments."

Mufan Real Estate had just started not long ago and had to spend a lot of money to garner market share. They had managed to get quite a bit of funding earlier on, but most of it had already been spent and Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't really afford much now.

Ye Fan just listened to her speak and didn't reply immediately.

He looked at her and asked her quietly, "Mu-Cheng, tell me, what sort of life do you want?"

The night was cold as water.

The bright moonlight shone in faintly.

Ye Fan's words seemed to carry a special sort of charm as it slowly filled the room.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't know why Ye Fan was suddenly asking such a question.

But she thought about it and answered him seriously.

"You might laugh at me for this. When I was young, I imagined that I would become a princess in the future. I would live at the highest part of Yunzhou, become well-loved by all and be the envy of everyone. Then I would find my prince charming, who would light 3,000 candles for me and make the city bloom with flowers on my birthday."

"I thought that as long as I worked hard, I would be able to work towards my dream life. But as I grew up, I realized that the dream I had as a child grew further and further away from me instead."

Her quiet voice filled the air like the sound of nature.

Qiu Mu-Cheng stood by the window.

The lights of many houses were on, and the stars sparkled brightly in the sky.

But there was disappointment and self-deprecation on her lips.

Which woman didn't want to marry a prince and become a princess?

Qiu Mu-Cheng had to admit that Ye Fan really wasn't the princess charming that she had imagined when she was young.

But she was content anyway.

Real life wasn't a fairy tale. How many could really marry a prince?

Ye Fan might be ordinary and of lowly birth, but he was really nice to her and Qiu Mu-Cheng could feel it.

Besides, after three years of living together, Ye Fan was already part of her life and part of her heart now.

Even if a prince really turned up and asked her to go with him, she might not really go with him anymore. "Ok!"

After a long period of silence, Ye Fan just answered her with this word.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand what that 'ok' meant.

"But Ye Fan, don't think too much about it. You're not a prince, but I'm not a princess either. I don't feel bad marrying you. We've gone through so much over the last three years, so I just hope that we can keep persevering on. Perhaps our life isn't the best now, but if we work hard, I believe we can make it better. We'll eventually get a car and a house. Once the company is more stable, we can have a child too."

Qiu Mu-Cheng's head slowly bent down as she said these things.

Her fair face was already bright red.

Too many things had happened during this period of time.

She had cried, she had laughed, and she had thought about giving up.

But thankfully, Ye Fan had always quietly protected her.

And that was precisely why this man had managed to gain a foothold in Qiu Mu-Cheng's heart.

She didn't know when she stopped being upset about how Ye Fan was her husband.

And now she even took the initiative to talk about having children.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's face was as red as fire and she just kept her head down with saying anything.

The room was abnormally quiet and Qiu Mu-Cheng could even hear the sound of her own heart beating.

After a long period of silence, Qiu Mu-Cheng gathered her courage and said quietly, "Ye Fan, you...tonight, you...can sleep on the bed."

Ye Fan didn't reply.

"Is that ok?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng with her head still bent.

But there was still no response.

Qiu Mu-Cheng felt that something was amiss, so she looked up.

She suddenly realized that the room was completely empty.

Ye Fan had left the room without her realizing it.

"ARGH! This idiot! I'm so angry! Couldn't he tell me before leaving? It took me so much courage to say those things just now!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng was about to have a fit.

She angrily slammed the door shut to vent her anger.

After that, she was still angry, so she sent a whole bunch of angry messages to Ye Fan.

Then she pulled the blanket over herself in a huff and went to bed.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan immediately called Li Er when he returned to the study room.

"Mr Chu, I'm not in Yunzhou at the moment, so I couldn't welcome you back, I hope you don't mind," said Li Er respectfully.

"Enough with the nonsense! Li Er, where is Yunzhou's most luxurious bungalow?" asked Ye Fan.

Li Er thought about it. "Mr Chu, it's the bungalow on Mount Yunding. That's a super luxurious villa built at the highest point of Yunzhou. But because the selling price is too high, nobody has ever bought it for the last ten years."

"That's the one. Buy it tomorrow, no need to haggle the price."

"What?!" Li Er was shocked. "Mr Chu, that bungalow is selling for nearly $50 billion. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

Ye Fan just snorted.

"I can even give her the whole world.

What's this $50 billion to me?"
