A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 446

It was late at night.

Ye Fan didn't want to disturb Xu Lei anymore and got her to sleep early.

But Xu Lei's heart was filled with conflicting emotions as she watched Ye Fan walk away from her door.

"Fan, you said that you hope I will meet someone I truly like and to marry him, have children and live happily ever after. But how could I like someone else after meeting you? Everyone pales in comparison to you! Fan, you're the best person to me..."

The night grew dark and the lights in the room swayed in the wind.

Xu Lei continued to stand there and quietly watched Ye Fan walk away with a strange determination in her eyes.

The night went by quickly.

The next morning, Ye Fan went out for his usual exercise at the break of dawn.

This had been Ye Fan's habit for years.

The Book of Celestial Cloud listed morning exercise as a high level of training.

Besides being able to train up the body, it could also train one's mind.

So besides making one's body strong, it was also good fortraining up patience and perseverance.

Ye Fan had been following the instructions in the book very closely and enthusiastically all these years.

After he returned to the hotel, Ye Fan picked up his phone to look at the time and saw that he had missed a text message.

"Hmm? A message from Xiao-Hong?”

Ye Fan noticed that it was sent around 9PM the night before. He had just finished talking to Qiu Mu-Cheng around that time and didn't look at his phone after that.

That's how he missed this text message.

But thankfully it wasn't anything urgent, and it was just an invitation to a meal as an apology.

"Xiao-Hong, I'm at Wolong Hotel and I have to attend to some matters. We'll have to leave a meal for another time. As for an apology, that's really not necessary. I've already forgotten about what happened that day.”

After replying Li Xiao-Hong's message, Ye Fan went for breakfast with Xu Lei.

"Fan, are we really not returning to Yunzhou? Wen-Jing told me that everyone in Yanjing knows about the trouble we created last night at the banquet. The Xue family in particular is furious. Some of the other powerful families who are on close terms with the Xue family and Xu family would probably come over today. Wen-Jing advised us to leave Yanjing as soon as possible, otherwise we might not be able to get out of here."

Xu Lei was clearly still worried about what was going to happen later. She wasn't worried about herself because she was still part of the Xu family after all. So those people wouldn't attack her and at most, they'd send her back to the Xu family and she would be forced to marry that man.

But if Ye Fan landed in the hands of the Xue family, then he might die.

But Ye Fan just shook his head and laughed quietly. "Lei, why are you so worried?"

"I told you last night that I'm not one to be trifled with anymore, even though I don't have the Chu family behind me now. No matter what happens later, just sit and watch."

Ye Fan said these words very nonchalantly, as if the event happening later was just a small matter.

But the uproar he had caused the day before had already shaken up all of Yanjing.

There were so many powerful families on their way to the hotel right now.

It was like the gathering of wind and clouds, and there was a violent undercurrent conning in this direction.

A storm was slowly brewing.

And Wolong Hotel had already become the eye of the storm.

After taking a sip, Ye Fan frowned.

"What is this tea? It's so awful. I'd better go get my own. Lei, wait here for me, I'll get tea from my room. I'm used to the Yunzhou local tea and it's hard to get used to tea from elsewhere."

Ye Fan then went upstairs to get his tea.

In no time, Ye Fan returned to the lobby and skillfully made a pot of tea.

He poured a cup for Xu Lei, then poured another for himself.

"Oh? Xiao-Hong, look at that man pouring tea over there. Isn't that your friend?" Li Lu-Bin asked his daughter as he pointed ahead while standing at the hotel entrance.

Li Xiao-Hong took a look and smiled. "Daddy, you're right."

"Let's go over."

Li Xiao-Hong happily ran over when she spotted Ye Fan.

Meanwhile, Li Lu-Bin followed behind and shook his head quietly.

"I was wondering how a country bumpkin could afford to stay in Wolong Hotel. So he's here because of his boss."

After he saw how Ye Fan poured tea for Xu Lei, he assumed that Ye Fan was a driver or assistant to Xu Lei.

"I really don't understand why Xiao-Hong likes this fellow. He's from the village, and he ended up with this sort of job where he has to pour tea and serve others. There's nothing good about him at all."

Li Lu-Bin kept shaking his head and his impression of Ye Fan only became worse.

But for the sake of his daughter, even if Li Lu-Bin didn't like Ye Fan, he had no choice but to follow after Li Xiao-Hong.
