A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 848 A Cocktail Party Invitation

Ye Fan sent Qiu Mu-Cheng to work after breakfast.

Everything seemed as though things had gone back to normal.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was in charge of making a livelihood while Ye Fan was in charge of sending her to work.

This was his happy life as a live-in husband.

Qiu Mu-Cheng used to gripe about Ye Fan's lack of motivation. Outsiders would also laugh at him for living off her and being useless.

Now Ye Fan's behavior ended up looking romantic when Su Qian and others caught sight of it.

The King of Jiangdong stayed home to do chores and send his wife around. It was certainly romantic.

During these seven days, each time Ye Fan picked up and dropped off Qiu Mu-Cheng, Su Qian felt jealous. Envy was written all over her face.

Perhaps this was what the love she looked forward to looked like.

Qiu Mu-Cheng clearly smiled a lot more these days.

She looked radiant like flowers that had received nourishment as her eyes brimmed with joy and tenderness.

Ye Fan treasured the time they could spend together.

These might be the last moments he had with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Since Ye Fan only had seven days to spend with her, he treasured the time even more.

However, on that fateful day, Qiu Mu-Cheng received an invitation from Yunzhou's city mayor to attend a cocktail party at Shanshui Hall.

Ye Fan always had little interest in socializing, so he didn't want Qiu Mu-Cheng to go.

"Ye Fan, it was the mayor who invited me, so I think I really should go. Also, Mayor Wu supported us when we first opened and even gave us couplets. I think I should go over tomorrow and check it out." Qiu Mu-Cheng was different from Ye Fan.

Ye Fan always followed his heart when he dealt with things and never cared about social relations.

If the Yunzhou city mayor or even Jiangdong's provincial mayor made Ye Fan upset, he would probably give them a hard time.

However, Qiu Mu-Cheng had to make considerations about human relations since she was the CEO of a huge business.

After Qiu Mu-Cheng persuaded Ye Fan, he agreed to let her go.

Naturally, he was going to attend it with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

He wanted to see what the cocktail party was about.

Before long, it was the afternoon the next day.

Qiu Mu-Cheng got off work early and went home to get dressed.

Ever since the Feast of the Sea and Sky, it was the first time Qiu Mu-Cheng attended a formal event with Ye Fan. Of course it was an important thing to her.

Since she was Ye Fan's wife, she certainly couldn't embarrass him.

"What do you think? Don't I look pretty?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng walked out after she finished dressing up 30 minutes later.

She looked like a proud, elegant princess.

She was dressed in a light purple long dress and wore the high heel shoes that Ye Fan bought her at the auction. 'The King's Kiss' glittered brilliantly on her finger.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's lips were as red as fire and her eyes as black as ink. She seemed to be the perfect embodiment of elegance and nobility.

Even after seeing so many gorgeous women, Ye Fan couldn't help feeling struck by her stunning beauty.

He even teased, "You certainly live up to being the Queen of Jiangdong. You're a natural beauty."

Qiu Mu-Cheng instantly blushed and replied angrily, "What King and Queen of Jiangdong? It's one thing when other people call us that, but how could you say it? If someone who was out to get us heard it, we would attract trouble."

Qiu Mu-Cheng undoubtedly knew that the more powerful he became, the more trouble he attracted.

Although all the powerful people of Jiangdong made him their leader, regardless of his fame, Qiu Mu-Cheng was keenly aware that the people were the ones who just gave him this name.

But Ye Fan wasn't actually a proper government official or anyone in authority like that.

So Qiu Mu-Cheng turned up for this party to strengthen Ye Fan's ties with the city officials.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was worried that he might end up getting suppressed by the government because he was getting too powerful forthem.

Citizens shouldn't oppose the government!

Despite how powerful Ye Fan was, Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't think he could outdo government officials.

After all, people like Wu Wei-Tao and He Lan-Shan had the country's backing.

Regardless of how powerful Ye Fan was, was it enough to surpass the country?

Just like Liang Shan-Bo from the book, Water Margin. Although he was famous, he suffered a crushing defeat because the government couldn't accept his success.

So Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't like being called the King and Queen of Jiangdong.

Excessive praise would only lead to complacency.

Ye Fan shook his head and smiled nonchalantly. "Mu-Cheng, don't worry. Although I don't care about status, no one else is fit to be King of Jiangdong. Since I am its King, you are its Queen. I am not afraid to say it, be it to you or anyone else. I'd like to see if there's anyone in Jiangdong who thinks otherwise."

Ye Fan's deep voice sounded soul-stirring.

After all, the Chu clan ancestors decreed Ye Fan the next Tian generation descendant. There was no point for him to master Invoke the Celestial Cloud if he wasn't domineering at all.

"You're always so proud." Qiu Mu-Cheng smiled helplessly when she heard this.

However, didn't she love Ye Fan because of how proud he was?

The two of them quickly arrived at Shanshui Hall after leaving Mount Yunding villa.

"Miss Qiu, welcome, welcome! Thank you for coming."

Wu Wei-Tao courteously came over to welcome her when he saw Qiu Mu-Cheng here.

"Hmm? Mr Chu, you're here too. Haha! I heard about the banquet you hosted at Yunwu Lake for all the Jiangdong elites. Now you have become the number one big shot in Jiangdong in the business circles and I've always wanted to have dinner with you. Now we can have the opportunity to do just that. Mr Chu, Miss Qiu, this way, please."

Wu Wei-Tao was surprised to see Ye Fan. He greeted him even more warmly before he invited them to take a seat.

Many people attended the party, but most of them were influential people from the business world.

Since Qiu Mu-Cheng often rubbed shoulders with them because of work, she knew almost all of them.

The moment they entered, all of them came over and said hi.

After they were done with small talk, Qiu Mu-Cheng asked Wu Wei-Tao curiously, "Mayor Wu, why did you invite me over tonight?"
