A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 248 You'll Get into Trouble

All parents wanted the best for their children.

Which father didn't wish for his son to become a dragon? Which mother didn't wish for her daughter to

turn into a phoenix?

Shen Jiu-Yi was no exception.

Even though he was strict and critical of Shen Fei most of the time and even scolded and hit him, that

was out of frustration whenever he saw that Shen Fei might not become successful.

He just wanted his son to succeed in life.

He just wanted others to praise him for raising a good son.

Shen Jiu-Yi had become successful, and now he hoped that Shen Fei could bring glory to the Shen

family and it would look better on Shen Jiu-Yi as his father.

But Shen Fei had gotten himself into a lot of trouble before this and Shen Jiu-Yi had nearly given up on

his son, since he didn't seem to be able to succeed. Now that Shen Fei had made such a valuable

contribution to the company, nobody was happier than Shen Jiu-Yi.

First thing the next morning, Shen Jiu-Yi called all the shareholders together to discuss what to do with

the imperial jade, as well as to nominate Shen Fei as a shareholder.

Of course, this is a story for another day.

After Ye Fan passed the jadeite to Shen Fei to settle it, he went home.

But just when he reached the gate of the estate, he saw a beautiful and slim figure standing under the

streetlights all by herself. The dim light from the streetlights was enough for Ye Fan to notice that her

eyes were slightly red and there were heartbreaking tears on her cheeks.

She seemed to be crying.

Ye Fan felt his heart ache immediately. He walked over and didn't ask her anything.

He just gently said, "Mu-Cheng, let's go

home."

Qiu Mu-Cheng looked up and her pretty eyes were still sparkling from her tears. She was filled with

such guilt and pain. "Ye Fan, I'm sorry but I couldn't get that jadeite back."

"They said that they had been robbed on the way home."

Qiu Mu-Cheng's voice trembled and she didn't dare to face Ye Fan.

After all, her family was guilty of doing all this and she was really feeling very guilty and felt that she

had let Ye Fan down.

Something worth as much as $200 million was gone just like that.

Qiu Mu-Cheng knew what that meant to Ye Fan.

With this jadeite, Ye Fan could live a much better life. Nobody would look down on him or despise him

anymore.

But now everything was ruined. Everything had been ruined by her family, the Qius.

The more Qiu Mu-Cheng thought about it, the guiltier and the more upset she became.

These relatives had not just made herself suffer, but now Ye Fan had to be bullied along with her.

But after hearing this, Ye Fan just laughed quietly and he continued to look calm. "Mu-Cheng, it's

alright. Perhaps that's my fate after all. Becoming a millionaire overnight is not my destiny."

"Maybe it's a blessing in disguise? I have to thank Uncle Guang and the rest for this, really. If they

hadn't taken the jadeite, then the ones who would get robbed would probably be us. So if you look at it

this way, we actually managed to escape danger thanks to them, don't you think so?” Ye Fan's calm

and nonchalant laughter made Qiu Mu-Cheng freeze for a moment.

She looked up at Ye Fan with her reddened eyes as she asked quietly, "Ye Fan, do you really think that

way?"

"You're not angry with me? Or my uncle and grandfather? Or the Qius?"

Ye Fan shook his head and laughed, Tve already said so, I'm not angry and I'm even grateful."

"What's there to be angry about? We'll just take it that we had a day of fun. We didn't get anything

today, but we didn't lose anything either, right?"

"Alright now, we'd better go home. It's MidAutumn and our parents will be worried if we reach home so

late,” Ye Fan consoled her with a smile and went home with Qiu Mu-Cheng.

After reaching home, they found that Han Li and Qiu Lei were already sleeping. The two of them took a

bath and went back to their rooms to rest.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't lock her bedroom door and actually left it ajar, but she got angry when she

realized that Ye Fan didn't notice that she had left the door ajar and went to sleep by himself in the

study.

"Humph! What a woodblock! Do you like sleeping in the study so much? Sleep there for the rest of your

life and never get onto my bed!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng lay on her bed and hugged her blanket as she fumed all by herself. Her fair and smooth

legs were curled beneath her lacy nightgown, while her gentle and soft skin was like jade, and she

looked absolutely mesmerizing in the moonlight.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was still annoyed when she suddenly recalled what happened at the auction earlier and

her heart froze for a moment. "Don't tell me Ye Fan really can't get it up?”

It was hard for Qiu Mu-Cheng not to suspect anything. Which man would have been able to resist a

wife as beautiful as her living in the same house?

And Ye Fan had controlled himself for three years now.

During these three years, Ye Fan had never seemed attracted to her at all.

That wasn't how a normal man would behave.

On top of that, the first thing Ye Fan did after he struck it rich was to buy all the items for boosting male

potency from the auction. When she put two and two together, she couldn't help but suspect that there

was indeed a problem with Ye Fan in that area.

Once she started thinking down this path, she couldn't stop. She tossed and turned and couldn't fall

asleep at all.

"This won't do. This has got to do with my marital bliss in the future, so I have to check this."

Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't stand it anymore and got up with a start. She quickly applied some makeup,

pulled a white blouse from the closet and paired it with a black short skirt with lace trimmings. She wore

an expensive pair of stockings over her fair legs and finally pulled out that precious pair of high heels

with red soles that she kept away so preciously.

Her feet were exposed with red toenails, while the blouse and skirt pairing made her look like she was

wearing a uniform. Her makeup was exquisite, and her body gave off an enchanting floral fragrance.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was so mesmerizing under the moonlight.

After taking the trouble to get dressed up, Qiu Mu-Cheng walked out and knocked the study door

quietly.

"Hmm? Who is it?" The study lights were still on as Ye Fan was still awake. He was puzzled by the

knock on his door. Who could be knocking on his door at his hour?

"Ye Fan, it's me. I think I saw a rat and I'm scared. Could you accompany me for a while?" Qiu Mu-

Cheng's gentle voice came in from outside the room and she sounded a little coquettish.

Qiu Mu-Cheng hardly spoke like that to Ye Fan and he instantly frowned.

What was this woman up to?

But since she had already said so, Ye Fan couldn't just ignore his wife and he had to go over to catch This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

that rat. But the moment Ye Fan opened the door and saw what Qiu Mu-Cheng looked like, he was

completely stunned and his eyes widened.

"M-Mu-Cheng, what...what's going on?"

"Why are you dressed like this so late at night?" Ye Fan's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he

gulped a large mouthful of saliva. Even his voice was trembling.

"Why, don't I look nice like that?" Qiu Mu-Cheng leaned against the door and the look in her eyes was

as gentle as water. She posed in such a way that it accentuated her figure and looked so seductive that

Ye Fan's eyes twitched and there was a howl of terrible pain in his heart.

Looking like this in the middle of the night would get her into trouble!
