A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 271 Wait for Another One

Sun Yu-Hao didn't come and things turned out this way instead. Han Li and Qiu Lei were in no mood to

deal with Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan anymore.

The two of them had hurried home in fear, leaving Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng behind.

"Mum, Dad, what's wrong with both of you? What happened?"

Qiu Mu-Cheng was clearly very puzzled as well. She didn't know what happened to her parents at all.

All they did was to make a couple of phone calls.

But no matter how Qiu Mu-Cheng called after them, they ignored her and ran back home quickly.

Qiu Mu-Cheng just stood outside the Civil Affairs Bureau with a confused look on her face and she

didn't know what to do either.

"Mu-Cheng, don't worry, it's nothing much. I suppose our parents are just angry because Sun Yu-Hao

isn't coming," said Ye Fan with a chuckle from behind Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was still angry with Ye Fan and immediately scoffed angrily when she heard his voice.

"What do you mean by our parents? They are MY parents and have nothing to do with you."

"Didn't you want to file for divorce? We'll go right now," said Qiu Mu-Cheng like she was throwing a

tantrum.

She got angry the moment she thought about how heartless Ye Fan was the night before.

She had already decided to give in first, but before she could send him a message, Ye Fan actually

sent a message first to tell her to come here to file for divorce at 9AM.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was a prideful character in the first place, so even though she had cried so miserably

the night before, she still stubbornly insisted on filing for divorce.

She wasn't going to let this idiot look down on her!

Ye Fan immediately laughed bitterly. "Mu-Cheng, this Sun Yu-Hao isn't coming, so you're not going to

be able to become a rich man's wife anymore. If you divorce me now, then won't you become a woman

that nobody wants?"

"I think we'd better not get a divorce and just find a way to get along. Don't worry, even though you're

not very tall, small chested and not very smart, plus you're always getting into trouble, I won't abandon

you," said Ye Fan with a cheeky smile.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was so furious her face was all twisted.

Did this idiot know how to console someone else or not?!

She stood at more than 1.7 meters and was taller than him if she wore heels! And he said she wasn't

very tall?!

Worse still, Ye Fan even said she was small chested.

She was a C-cup for crying out loud!

Qiu Mu-Cheng puffed her chest out and retorted angrily, "You're the one whom nobody wants! You're

the one who's not very tall and small chested! You are really a jerk through and through!"

Qiu Mu-Cheng yelled angrily at him as she used her fair legs to gently kick Ye Fan. She didn't use any Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

strength and they just looked like a couple having a petty quarrel.

As she yelled at him, her eyes turned red, and she wasn't sure if it was because she was upset or

afraid, but tears started streaming down her face.

Ye Fan felt both touched and an ache in his heart when he saw her cry.

He reached a hand out to gently wipe away the tears from Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes as he smiled faintly.

"How old are you? Why are you crying? It's not as if I really don't want you anymore.”

"My wife is so pretty with such a good figure. You're so slim, so gentle, with large eyes and dimples

when you smile. You're as pretty as a fairy, so how could I bear to divorce you?" Ye Fan consoled her

and said such nice and moving words.

Ye Fan didn't intend to divorce Qiu Mu-Cheng in the first place. He had done all this just to shut Han Li

and Qiu Lei's mouths.

Now Sun Yu-Hao had returned to Jianghai and was utterly terrified. He had already promised Ye Fan

that he would never set foot into Yunzhou again and would never dare to covet Qiu Mu-Cheng.

This way, Han Li's idea of making Sun Yu-Hao her son-in-law went up in smoke. With this lesson in

mind, Han Li and Qiu Lei would probably never force Qiu Mu-Cheng to marry Sun Yu-Hao anymore.

"Humph! Ye Fan, I'm warning you, don't ever mention divorce again. I am allowed to dump you, but

you're not allowed to dump me!" said Qiu Mu-Cheng angrily. Her eyes were still a little red.

She really thought that she would be separated from Ye Fan from today onwards.

But thankfully this fellow still had a bit of conscience and changed his mind in the end.

Even though she was feeling a great joy in her heart, this proud woman still continued to look angry

and looked at Ye Fan hatefully.

What else could Ye Fan say?

He could only nod along and grin. "Darling, I knew it. You can't leave me anymore."

"Nonsense! Who can't leave you?! If I didn't pity you, I would have divorced you long ago!" Qiu Mu-

Cheng continued to say the things she didn't mean at all in her fiercest voice when she heard Ye Fan's

shameless words.

But after being with Qiu Mu-Cheng for so long, Ye Fan knew what she was truly thinking in her heart.

When he saw how Qiu Mu-Cheng was still so stubborn with her words, Ye Fan just laughed and didn't

say anything.

He finally let out a long sigh after some time.

"Women really suffer if they insist on keeping their pride..."

And just like that, this whole divorce hullabaloo ended with Sun Yu-Hao running for his life.

Life went back to normal after that.

Qiu Mu-Cheng continued to wake up early everyday to go to work and earn money for the family.

Ye Fan continued to do all the housework and cook all the meals.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's family had gone back to how it used to be once Mid-Autumn had passed.

Han Li and Qiu Lei's plans of getting their daughter to marry a rich man had gone up in smoke, and

they seemed to have offended Sun Yu-Hao and Han Hai instead. So for the first few days, Han Li and

Qiu Lei were really very fearful.

They thought that they might have really offended some big shot, so they were so scared that they

packed their things and went to stay in a hotel for the time being.

They stayed out there for seven days and called Qiu Mu-Cheng every day to ask if anyone strange

went to their house.

In the end, everything was as per normal and nothing terrible happened.

Han Li and Qiu Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief and the worry in their hearts had faded quite a bit.

They figured that they must have been worried for nothing.

So after observing for a few more days to make sure nobody came to take revenge on them, the two of

them moved back home and continued their old life of playing mahjong and going for line dancing.

Even though they continued to nag and chide Ye Fan over all sorts of small things, they didn't force him

to divorce their

daughter anymore.

But of course it wasn't because they really acknowledged Ye Fan as their son-in-law. They were just

waiting for another good candidate to come along.

After all, even though Ye Fan wasn't rich and wasn't capable, he was still useful to this household. At

least with him around, there was always something to eat and someone to do the chores.

Since he was useful, they might as well keep him around for the time being.

Once their daughter found a better candidate, they could kick Ye Fan out again.

Ye Fan knew that his in-laws thought this way.

But he wasn't worried. Since he could get rid of one Sun Yu-Hao, he could get rid of a second one and

a third one.

In any case, anybody who wanted to snatch his wife away could forget about it.

It didn't matter who you were.
