A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 134 Is This the End, or a Beginning?

"You are?"

A figure stepped out of the suddenly opened door.

The person was armed with a mop and wearing a faded army green short-sleeves shirt. On his feet

were a pair of army walking shoes. He was unshaven and his hair was a shaggy mess that resembled

a bird's nest. Overall, he looked a little slovenly.

He blinked and looked doubtfully at the two exquisitely dressed beauties in front of him. And then he

slowly queried them about their visit.

Su Qian was instantly stunned, when she saw the middle-aged man standing before her. It was as if

she was struck by a bolt of lightning. She could even feel her heart shattering into tiny pieces.

She had not expected her idol to turn out to be an unshaven and slovenly middle-aged man. At this

moment, she was overwhelmed by the enormous gap between her dream and reality. Her eyes

reddened and she felt like bursting into tears.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was rendered speechless when she saw Su Qian's odd reaction.

She wondered if her silly friend was actually mistaking the middle-aged janitor to be the owner of this

villa.

In the end, Qiu Mu-Cheng stepped forward and asked politely: "Mister, may I know if the former owner

is in the house?"

"The owner?" The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment. And then his face split into a

smile. "Oh, you are talking about the young man who was staying here. He has already left. Probably

moved to a new place. All his things are gone. I was told to come here and do some cleaning. They

want to continue to rent this place out."

What?

"My idol has already left?'

"How come?"

"Where did he go?"

When Su Qian heard the news of her idol's departure, the tiny spark of hope that had arisen in her was

immediately extinguished.

It was unexpected, but the worst-case scenario had happened.

In the end, that man had left this place.

She had never even seen what he looked like.

A romance had ended before it even had the chance to begin.

They had separated, never to see each other again, before she could confess her feelings to him.

At this moment, both Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian had already returned to the latter's house.

Half an hour ago, Qiu Mu-Cheng had been the only depressed person in this room. But now, another

heartbroken girl was keeping her company.

In all these years, this was the first time Su Qian had loved someone so much, the first time she had

written ninety-nine love letters and the first time she had plucked up the courage to go to a man's

house in the middle of the night to confess her feelings.

But all these first times did not yield any results.

The flower had wilted before it could bloom.

The two BFFs shared such a close relationship; they even had their hearts broken at the same time.

But they probably did not know that they were grieving over the same person.

And the two beautiful maidens wallowed in depression for a long while.

In the end, Su Qian was the first one to perk up. "Hmph, so what if I just fell out of love? It is not a big

deal. It doesn't mean I can't ever get married."

"Mu-Cheng, we are modern-day women, so we can't keep on feeling depressed. We have to pull

ourselves together. Nobody is so important that the world will stop spinning without him."

"I have made up my mind. Let us go on a trip tomorrow."

"Change our surroundings and change our moods as well."

"And when we come back, we will start our new lives as brand new people!"

And so, Qiu Mu-Cheng jumped onto the idea after some egging on from Su Qian. She was prepared to

go along with her BFF on this sightseeing trip. Both of them needed to relieve the pain in their hearts.

It was just the right time to go on such a trip anyway. In Qiu Mu-Cheng's current state of mind, she was

not in the mood to do any work anyway.

It was not a bad idea to go on a trip now.

Perhaps I should start a new life myself.

Perhaps her friend's words had affected Qiu Mu-Cheng. She did not turn down Su Qian's suggestion.

This time they clicked.

That night, Qiu Mu-Cheng returned home to pack her things. At the same time, she also applied for

leave with the company and handed over some of her work to her colleagues.

The night passed by swiftly.

At the break of dawn, several luxury cars slowly rolled out of Li Er's villa in Yunzhou and then they

started speeding when they got on the road. Finally, the convoy stopped beside Yunwu Lake.

Standing on the bank was a slim man with his hands clasped behind his back.

His gaze was deep as he stared at the mist-covered lake. He had been standing there throughout the

night.

When they saw Ye Fan, Li Er and company disembarked from their vehicles and walked up to him.

When they were beside him, they greeted him respectfully: "Mr. Chu, it's light already. We should be

going.”

For a long while, Ye Fan said nothing. In front of him, the surface of the lake rippled as it reflected the

light of the rising sun.

The autumn wind caressed Ye Fan gently and stirred up his forelock.

After a long moment, Ye Fan finally nodded his head and replied with a single

"Yes."

Li Er and company then escorted Ye Fan respectfully into one of the cars.

However, before they could leave Yunzhou, Ye Fan told Li Er to turn around.

"Wait for me. I am going to see someone."

Liuyuan Residential District.

Dawn was breaking just then. The sky was only beginning to get light; a glimmer of white could be seen

in the sky to the east.

The office workers had not gotten out of their beds yet, and only some morning joggers could be seen

on the street. But more than a few households were lit up; they were obviously in the midst of breakfast

preparations.

Ye Fan stepped down from the car, stood beside it and lifted his head to look at one household in

particular.

Through the window, Ye Fan could vaguely see the peerlessly beautiful figure of a woman dressed in a

thin night gown. She was clumsily boiling the milk and making her breakfast.

Ye Fan stood there and just looked. He did not pay attention to anything else but the graceful figure of

the woman.

Just then, Li Er, who had already guessed what was going on, stepped forward and carefully asked the

question: "Mr. Chu, why don't... you go up and say goodbye to Madam?"

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "There is no need to do that. I am satisfied with looking at her from

here."

After he had spoken, Ye Fan turned around and entered the car.

"Li Er, let's go.”

"Yes, Mr. Chu."

Li Er assented immediately and ordered his underlings to leave in their cars.

The wheels spun and the roars of the car engines sounded just like those of a wild beast.

The convoy of luxury cars sped crazily along the road, and multiple beams of orange headlights cut

across the sky like so many swords.

Far away in the horizon, the sun was rising in the east and the sky was blanketed with the rosy clouds

of dawn.

As Ye Fan looked at the trees that were speeding past him outside the window, no one could see the

light that was hidden in the depths of his eyes.

Three years of glory and dishonor. I have waited for this moment for three years already. I have the

patience to keep on waiting.

Mu-Cheng, I will prove to you that I have the strength to protect you for eternity, even if I am only

relying on myself!
