A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 268 Really Don't Want Me Anymore?

Yunzhou, Liuyuan Residential Estate.

Qiu Mu-Cheng returned home after work and was moody the whole evening. She looked so listless and

dejected, and seemed very tired.

Ever since she spoke to Ye Fan at Yunwu Lake, Qiu Mu-Cheng had been in this state.

She felt like her heart had just died.

Even Qiu Mu-Cheng herself never realized that without her knowing, that jerk already took up such an

important position in her heart.

When she thought about how she was going to be truly separated from him the next day, Qiu Mu-

Cheng felt a strange stabbing pain in her heart.

Humans were often like that. They only knew how to cherish the things they had only when they were

about to lose them.

Just like Qiu Mu-Cheng now. She had spent the entire day thinking about that man and everything he

had done over the past three years.

Every night, Ye Fan was there quietly protecting her.

Every morning when she woke up, there was always a warm glass of milk on the table.

The last person she saw before going to bed was always him, and the first person she saw in the

morning when she woke up was also him.

But this person who seemed to be an integral part of Qiu Mu-Cheng's life was going to be cut off from

her after tonight.

Qiu Mu-Cheng knew that many couples didn't see each other again after getting a divorce.

But after leaving the Qius, where would Ye Fan go?

She figured that he would probably return home and find some woman in the village to bear children for

him. He would probably go back to farming and live the

rest of his life in his hometown, never to return to Yunzhou, a place filled with sad memories.

Come to think of it, if Ye Fan divorced her, then Yunzhou would have nothing to do with Ye Fan

anymore.

After all, there was nothing else he had an attachment to in this city. So what would be the point of

remaining here?

And so Qiu Mu-Cheng was even more certain that once tomorrow came and went, she would bid Ye

Fan farewell forever.

Without her realizing it, her eyes reddened again and were filled with tears.

But even so, she continued to clutch her phone tightly.

It had been an entire day, but Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to hold onto her phone.

She was waiting for Ye Fan to call her or text her, to tell her that he regretted what he said and he didn't

want to divorce her anymore. To tell her that he wanted to persevere on with her, and to walk beside

her no matter what storms came their way.

If Ye Fan said these words to her, Qiu Mu-Cheng felt that she would definitely hold his hand and insist

on being with him and disregard everything else.

But the entire day had passed without any call or message from Ye Fan.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Had he really given up on this relationship?

Did he really not want to salvage it at all?

Was he really going to be so heartless?

Qiu Mu-Cheng's heart hurt the more she thought about it. She felt like her heart had burst open and an

acidic liquid was flowing out.

Time just continued to pass like that. The night grew darker and Qiu Mu-Cheng's emotions became

heavier.

She kept picking up her phone and putting it down again, as if she was struggling with something inside

her.

Finally she clenched her teeth as if she had made a big decision and turned on her phone to text Ye

Fan.

Since he didn't contact her, then she was going to contact him!

She had to fight for her own happiness.

If she just kept waiting around, she would end up missing the chance.

"Ye Fan, I don't want to divorce you."

Qiu Mu-Cheng typed these words out on her phone, but deleted everything after she finished typing it.

She felt like it made her sound too desperate and made her seem like she was clinging onto Ye Fan

like a leech.

That wasn't her style.

"Ye Fan, I will not allow you to divorce me! Otherwise I'll teach you a lesson!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng wrote a more aggressive message, but after thinking about it, she deleted the text

again.

Ye Fan was normally very easygoing on the outside, but Qiu Mu-Cheng knew that he was actually a

proud man inside.

If she sounded so commandeering, it might agitate Ye Fan and backfire on her.

"Ye Fan, you aren't getting any younger and you're no eligible bachelor. Besides me, who else would

want you? If you divorce me, then you're going to be single for the rest of your life. So you'd better think

it through carefully. Do you really want to get a divorce? Don't regret it!"

This time, Qiu Mu-Cheng softened her tone a lot more, but she felt that this still wouldn't do because it

might hurt Ye Fan's pride. If Ye Fan got angry and insisted on a divorce as a result, that would go

against what Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted.

After Qiu Mu-Cheng went through a whole bunch of possible things to say, she finally decided on the

message she would send to Ye Fan.

"I'm running a cold and I don't feel well. I can't go down tomorrow, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau

another day."

This was what Qiu Mu-Cheng came up with after thinking about it very carefully.

If Ye Fan cared about her, his heart would soften if he found out she was sick. Once his heart was

softened, he wouldn't want to divorce her anymore. By changing the date, she could stall for time and

after some time, perhaps Ye Fan wouldn't have such a strong urge to divorce her.

Qiu Mu-Cheng felt that she was really clever for coming up with this. It didn't make her look desperate

and it didn't hurt Ye Fan's pride either.

"You're it!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng decided on this message and was about to hit send.

But just then, Ye Fan sent a message first.

"I'll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 9AM tomorrow."

Qiu Mu-Cheng was stunned when she saw these words.

She started trembling and felt a stabbing pain in her heart tears welled up in her eyes. Qiu Mu-Cheng

bit her lips, deleted all the words that she had already typed and replied with an 'OK'.

After that, she flung her phone aside and started crying on her bed.

"Did you think I really can't do without you? You want to leave me, but guess what, I want to leave you

too! You're just a penniless bum! Who cares about you! I wanted to divorce you a long time ago!" Qiu

Mu-Cheng said it like she was throwing a tantrum. Her words were mean and stubborn, but she was so

hurt inside.

She knew that man really didn't want her anymore.

Qiu Mu-Cheng cried into her blanket, but her sobbing continued to echo through the house.

Han Li was about to go mad when she heard her daughter cry.

"Can't this girl be a little more ambitious? What are you crying about?! Did this country bumpkin really

bewitch you? Don't you think your heart is a little too cheap?!"

"She will really be the death of me! How did I give birth to such a useless daughter?! Have you really

fallen for a pauper from the village? It's just a divorce and you're crying so miserably? Shut up now! Do

you hear me? Stop being such an embarrassment!"

"There's no point in crying! You MUST get a divorce tomorrow! Then register your marriage to Sun Yu-

Hao!”

Han Li continued ranting outside angrily. Qiu Mu-Cheng was really driving her to her grave.

She never imagined that stupid penniless Ye Fan would actually bewitch her own

daughter.

"Alright now, don't be like this. They've been husband and wife for three years, and even humans feel

attached to a dog over such a long period of time. Besides, Ye Fan has been quite nice to Mu-Cheng

over the past three years, so it's only normal for her to feel upset now that they're getting divorced. But

don't worry, she'll be fine after a few days. It's already past 8PM, we should eat. I'm so hungry," said

Qiu Lei.

They walked into the living room to eat.

But after they sat down at the dining table, they realized it was completely empty.

"What the hell?! Where's that useless bum? Why haven't you finished cooking yet?! Do you know what

time it is? Are you trying to starve us?!" Han Li started yelling in the direction of the kitchen.

Han Li's family had always started eating dinner at 8PM all these years.

So the moment it hit 8PM, Han Li and Qiu Lei would sit at the dining table and wait for Ye Fan to bring

the food out.

Normally when Han Li started chasing Ye Fan, he would call out, "Almost done!" from the kitchen.

But today, there was no response even after Han Li yelled like that.

Han Li turned around to find that the kitchen...was also empty.

Of course there was no food.

The one cooking wasn't even around!

Han Li and Qiu Lei were suddenly stunned for a moment.

They suddenly realized that the person whom they always called useless had become part of their lives

without themselves realizing it.
