A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1005

DOONG DOONG!

A deep knocking continued to echo through the air.

Cold air swept by slowly, leaving countless leaves fluttering in the courtyard.

Ye Fan wore a cold threatening expression on his face.

Yu Yun could not help feeling surprised by Ye Fan's expression.

After all, during all this time she spent with Ye Fan, he gave her the impression that he was calm and composed.

It was the first time she had ever seen him so serious.

This young man probably had a lot of secrets.

For the first time, Yu Yun grew interested in someone else's life.

Ye Fan had already stood up, turned to head to the door, and was about to open it.

"Fan, sit down. Let me do this."

Old Madam Chu detected something amiss as well, so she pulled Ye Fan and told him to wait inside the room.

"Great grandmother, I don't want to drag you into this. They are here for me," said Ye Fan deeply.

Old Madam Chu glared and said, "Didn't I tell you to wait? Have I gotten so old that you no longer do as I say?"

Old Madam Chu shouted sternly before hobbling out the yard.

However, Ye Fan's mood became even tenser.

Two silhouettes finally appeared outside the old mansion as the door opened.

"And you are?” asked Old Madam Chu quizzically as she looked at the two men dressed in military uniform.

"Old Madam Chu, have you forgotten me? I'm Tian-He. I was stationed in the army in Fenghai for ten years back in the day. I have had the honor of eating quite a lot of your dumplings."

Lu Tian-He looked at the old woman respectfully in a humble attitude and didn't put on a general's airs at all.

Old Madam recalled something and instantly smiled as she said, "Oh, I remember now. You are Jin's aide, right? I can't believe it. I haven't seen you for years. Now your hair has even grown a little white. You changed so much that I couldn't recognize you."

"I know, right? In a blink of an eye, I have left Jiangdong for seven years," replied Lu Tian-He as he smiled.

Lu Tian-He used to be stationed in Jiangdong.

At that time, he was sent to be stationed at Fenghai to guard the old Chu mansion.

Word had it that China owed a debt to the Chu family ancestors.

In return for their help, the government sent 100,000 troops to be stationed at Fenghai to guard them for 50 years.

During this time, Lu Tian-He and the Jiangdong army commander then would visit Old Madam Chu during the festivities. Over time, they came to be acquainted.

Lu Tian-He was only an insignificant person working for the commander at that time, so it was normal for her not to recognize you now that he was visiting so many years later.

"Come on in."

She was naturally happy to see an old friend.

As they spoke, Old Madam Chu welcomed Lu Tian-He and the others into the mansion.

Ye Fan and Yu Yun had already left by now.

They clearly didn't want outsiders to find out they were around.

Hence, Ye Fan relaxed when he heard those guests were from the army and were here to visit Old Madam Chu. He left the main hall and followed Yu Yun to her room.

"It's not time yet. Come back at 10PM," said Yu Yun coldly when she spotted Ye Fan following her.

She didn't want to have any contact with members of the opposite sex. An exception was only made for cultivation.

Ye Fan laughed gently.

In the past, she was always surrounded by a lot of people.

Despite this, she always felt lonely.

People in high positions always felt cold and lonely.

People with utmost power were destined to live a life of solitude.

But she felt that something had changed.

She could genuinely sense the presence of other people in her life now, such as Ye Fan with his thick skin and the kind Old Madam Chu.

In their eyes, she wasn't an imposing leader of a powerful family and treated her as a normal person like them.

Yu Yun had never experienced something so real in her life.

Even Yu Yun gradually started to stop putting up airs. For the first time in her life, she took tea from a man to drink.

She took a small sip.

PFFTTT!

The moment Yu Yun drank the tea, she spat it out with a look of agony on her face.

Yu Yun spat everything out with her face flushed red.

Yu Yun's coldness dissipated instantly, and she became particularly angry. "You awful fellow! What was that? Why was it so bitter?"

Yu Yun couldn't help spitting it out and looked embarrassed.

Ye Fan instantly burst out laughing. "It's my first time seeing a grandmaster who can't stand bitterness. Don't worry. It's perfectly harmless. It's just tea made from dandelions that grow by the roadside and is considered a Chinese medicinal herb. It can help to expel heat and toxins when taken with water after they have been dried."

Ye Fan chuckled and seemed delighted to see how embarrassed Yu Yun felt.

"Seriously, as compared to that straight face of yours, you look better when you are mad. I reckon you look even better when you smile. Come on. Smile for me. Stop acting so cold all the time. We are all directors of our own lives after all. So why let yourself suffer?"
