A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1776

Ye Fan shook his head quietly.

His answer angered her, and she glared at him. “You can't have thrown it away, can you?” she interrogated. “H-How could you do that! Do you have any idea what that is? My mother gave me that! It's a token of my parents' love!”

Tang Yun was fuming. If looks could kill, Ye Fan would have been dead ten times already. Just when she was about to shout, Ye Fan unbuttoned his collar, revealing the Blue Spirit jade pendant he was wearing around his neck.

Tang Yun was surprised to see that, and her anger was assuaged immediately. She was touched that Ye Fan was wearing it. “H-Have you been wearing it all this time?”

Ye Fan nodded with a smile. “I can't let a lady down now, can I?”

After they bade goodbye at the residence, a lot happened between Ye Fan and Tang Yun. Even when Tang Yun had cut ties with him back at the rainforest, and when she said they would never meet again back at Fenghai, Ye Fan never took the pendant off.

Perhaps, he wanted to keep the lady named Yu Yun in memoriam forever.

Tang Yun was touched, but she knew it wasn't the time to talk about that. She quickly asked Ye Fan to leave. “Keep this pendant well. Mother always said that Lady Luck will watch over those who wear this on them. You must leave now.

“The people from Chu Sect will catch up soon. Your subordinates won't be able to hold out much longer. Don't worry about their safety, Ye Fan. I am still an important part of the sect. I'll try my best to keep them safe. At the very least, I can convince my master not to kill them.” Tang Yun tried her hardest to get him to leave. She sounded nervous, but also reluctant.

Ye Fan was touched for some reason. Tang Yun seemed to see through him. She had already thought of the Dragon Slayers' safety even before Ye Fan brought it up. With that, Ye Fan had nothing to worry about anymore.

“Honestly, I wish none of this has ever happened. If you were still Yu Yun, and I were still Ye Fan, that'd be really great.”

It was a strange thing to say, but it made Tang Yun tear up. She had the exact same wish as well.

Everyone was pursuing power and glory, and it was an eternal chase. But when they finally got what they wished for, they realized that what they hoped for the most was the peaceful days they used to have.

Alas, that was just wishful thinking. Tang Yun was no longer Yu Yun, and Ye Fan had already become Chu Tianfan. Fate had played a cruel joke on them, separating them for eternity.

“Please, you must leave now.” Tang Yun turned around. She did not want Ye Fan to see her losing her composure.

Ye Fan tried to leave, but he could not bring himself to take that first step. In the end, he inexplicably turned around and told her, “Yun, come with me.”

It was a simple suggestion, but to Tang Yun, it was nothing short of a bombshell.

Ever since she was a child, she had been an obedient child, and eventually, she became the pride and joy of her master. Thanks to that, she became the head of the Chu Sect in the end.

Ever since the day she was born, she had been living up to everyone else's expectations. She became what

everyone else wanted her to be.

But now, a man was extending a hand to her, telling her to break the rules, telling her to let go of the chains that were binding her. He was telling her to ignore how everyone would see her, and to leave theirtroubles behind them.

Nobody could understand what she was feeling. She froze up for the longest time, and words failed her.

As for Ye Fan, he regretted it the moment he said that. After all, he was a man who had fallen from grace. He had nothing, and his life was in constant danger. He knew he had no right to ask a great lady like Tang Yun to give her life of luxury up just to join him.

Besides, he had a family. Mucheng had been nothing but great to him, and he did not want to betray her. When all was said and done, Tang Yun was just a lady whom he could have been with. The reality, however, was never so kind.
