A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1155

Qiu Mu-Cheng was worried that Ye Fan might overexert himself too.

With Chen Ao around, he could help Ye Fan shoulder some of the latter's responsibilities.

Besides, Chen Ao had done what he had done to protect Chen Nan. He had had his reasons.

Ye Fan shook his head.

"One should pay the price for their mistakes. Mu-Cheng, my mind is made. I've shown Chen Ao the greatest extent of my forgiveness by letting him live,” said Ye Fan firmly and authoritatively.

Qiu Mu-Cheng kept quiet.

The commotion that had broken out over Jiangdong because of the Lu and Xur families had finally come to an end.

That night, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng rolled up their sleeves and cooked a sumptuous dinner for the Green Dragon Force, Long Bai-Chuan and the rest.

"I can't believe how great a cook Instructor Chu is!"

"He's not only an incredible commander and warrior, he's also a great chef!"

"Instructor Chu is indeed a man of many talents."

"Oh man, I may be a guy but I'd die to marry someone like Instructor Chu."

"Look at yourself. Do you really think you deserve such a husband?"

"Hey, watch your mouth!"

"If anyone in the Green Dragon Force gets to marry Instructor Chu, it's going to be our leader Ye Yu-Yan. You can forget about your chances, you bullish punk."

Tai Shan and the rest bantered playfully with one another as they enjoyed the delicious spread of dishes before them.

"Shut your trap and eat!" Ye Yu-Yan yelled at Li Zi-Yang and her teammates as she blushed.

Her eyes flickered discreetly towards Ye Fan, who was running around in the kitchen. A strange feeling swelled within her.

If she had accepted Ye Fan's declaration of love for her, this exceptional young man would have been hers.

She shook her head at that thought and smiled self-deprecatingly.

She knew very well that that was a pure fantasy.

Even if she hadn't looked down on Ye Fan then and had accepted his feelings for her, their relationship wouldn't have lasted anyway.

They were family, after all. That alone eliminated any possibility of a romantic relationship between them. Anything fantasy that Ye Yu-Yan harbored for this man must remain a secret that she could only think about late at night, when she was alone.

As she stared at Ye Fan, Ye Yu-Yan couldn't help but wonder why she had been such a fool then.

Why had she been so blind?

She had had such an exceptional man right by her side then but she had not had a clue at all.

In fact, she had had tried to make his life difficult and had offered him nothing but words of abuse.

Ye Yu-Yan felt waves of regret and remorse every time she recalled how she had treated Ye Fan.

Without that unpleasantness, they would have been such loving siblings.

The relationship that tied them together wouldn't remain at merely that of a superior and his subordinate.

Even though Ye Fan had allowed Ye Yu-Yan to join the Green Dragon Force, his attitude towards her had remained unchanged.

He remained distant and cold and had not displayed any hints of familial intimacy.

In Ye Fan's eyes, Ye Yu-Yan was no different from Li Zi-Yang and his other recruits.

"Yu-Yan, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?"

"Dear heavens, do you have a crush on Instructor Chu?"
