Handsome Saves the Beauty

CHAPTER 84

Yue can't believe that she was now entangled with the man who she saw in the restaurant earlier that day.

It happened when after Lucia told the story about her encounter with her previous self that Yue excused herself to calm herself down.

She went to the restroom only to see a couple flirting blatantly on the corner.

She ignored the scene but after she went out, she saw the man alone smoking a cigarette.

Yue recognize the man in the restaurant.

Sure enough he was a scumbag.

The one he was flirting with was different from the one he was originally with.

Yue didn't want to be in the same space so she immediately walked away to go back to Lucia whom she left for quite some time already. Unfortunately, the man noticed her.

"Hey. You're the woman who had been staring at me in the restaurant earlier" the man run his eyes all over her body as if probing whether she's worth his attention.

Yue cringed at his stare.

She just happened to gaze their way for a while, although her ears couldn't help but listen to their conversation because her hearing is sharper than normal people, but she really didn't stare at the man afterwards.

"You probably have mistaken me for someone else, please excuse me" Yue decided to pretend not to know him to avoid trouble, but still the man insisted on letting her stay. He suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Please let go" Yue tried to shake the man off but he clamped her hand harder.

"You don't have to pretend. I know you followed me here. But I don't mind, you're my type so I'll let you stay with this young master" the man was spurting disgusting words and Yue realized that he was actually drunk.

The event only circulated some champagne. She didn't think that someone could get easily drunk with just that.

Yue continued to shake him away.

Yue wanted to cry. She focused on training her marksmanship but still useless in physical self-defense.

"Come on, stop playing hard to get. I'll get you any jewelry that you want, be my woman and I'll get you everything you want. See, I can even give you a bigger Padparadscha sapphire than the one earlier. You can dispose the cheap stones you're wearing" the man looked at the embellishment of her dress in disdain.

Then he tried to hug her and stick his face on her.

"No thank you. A man who can't even determine between a fake and genuine Padparadscha sapphire has no qualification to even like this lady!" Yue snickered, the man boast big enough when he doesn't even have the ability.

Padparadscha sapphire is special because it exhibits an orange-pinkish color, salmon pink color, instead of the usual blue color of sapphire. It boasts high clarity that makes it easy to see any inclusions or cloudiness on the stone, although medium clarity is more expensive some may prefer a more saturated colored stone. The stone weight hardly exceeds 2 carats. The stone is very beautiful and striking that there is a high demand on the market, unfortunately, it can't really meet the demand due to its rarity. But for the past months, there has been a slight influx on the market for the said stone. Yue had a hunch that it has something to do with a syndicate and the stones are beryllium treated instead.

When the waiter passed by with the water, she chanced to see blue glint from the stone for the shortest time. Such incident is usually passed off since real gems are supposed to sparkle but for those who had the knowledge, the presence of blue halo on a supposed orange-pinkish stone is due to the re-bonding of the residual iron and titanium after the diffusion of beryllium. Poorly colored pink sapphires can be converted into a padparadscha color in the presence of beryllium when heated in extreme temperature. The technology is highly sophisticated since the color can penetrate deep into the sapphire stone. The sapphire used for this is genuine in the first place making the it harder to determine its authenticity.

So the man boasting it off as the real deal really turned Yue off instead of pitying him, and now she just wanted to kill him.

"Then how about considering me" a playful voice came whizzing then Yue was freed from the sticky man.

"Neon!" Yue recognized the man that helped her.

"Your welcome" Neon chuckled then punch the man until he lost consciousness.

Neon ridiculed the man in his head. The man didn't even recognize the stones used to embellish Yue's dress. Each one is more than enough to buy his useless existence.

"You're really weak" Neon once again commented to Yue.

Yue almost rolled her eyes.

"I know. It's awful" Yue can only admit. She chose the wrong thing to focus on. Then she massaged her hand that keep hurting.

One should develop their own strength first before relying on external ones.

Neon saw a red handprint surrounding Yue's wrist.

"Tsk, that print looks ugly. Get some ointment" the second half of the sentence was for the man who was following Neon. Then the man disappeared.

Yue knew that Neon was a high profile man but seeing the people following him made her think she still underestimated him.

"Where's your mind flying. Follow me" Neon knew what Yue was thinking but didn't say anything about it.

"Thank you for saving me. But I think it's not necessary to go somewhere else. I came with my friend and she might worry if I'm gone for too long" Yue realized that she still needed to get back to Lucia unless she wandered around looking for her.

"Then are you talking about the lady over there?" Neon moved to the side and Yue saw Lucia pacing around wanting to approach but was deterred by the presence of Neon.

When Lucia made contact with Yue, she rushed to her and took her hand looking worried. She knew something had gone wrong with Yue earlier and wanted to accompany her to the restroom but when Yue insisted on being alone she respected her decision. But Yue had been taking forever so she followed after.

She then saw a man talking to Yue. She didn't see what happened but by looking at the bloodied man on the floor, she can deduce that Yue was involved in a bad situation and the man probably saved her.

"Lucy, I made you worried. I apologize" Yue assured Lucy so she would wipe away her worried look. The woman really cares about her whether it be the past or the present her.

"No, I'm just really glad you're fine. Oh no, your wrist is so red" Lucy loosened her hold when she noticed an abnormal color in Yue's wrist and found some red handprint. By the intensity of the color, one can assume how much force is inserted and it must have hurt a lot.

"It's superficial. My skin is just sensitive that's why it looks horrible like that" Yue try to brush it off lightly, although it is also true that her skin is a bit sensitive.

"Even so. This kind of thing shouldn't be even present on a lady's skin. We have to get this treated. I'll call my brother" Lucia began to fuss around but Yue didn't find such thing annoying.

"Why are you more concerned than I. It's alright. He already had someone get an ointment for my bruise" Yue chuckled even wanting to pat Lucia's head but stopped herself.

Lucia then remembered that there's still a man with them.

The man looks remarkable with his back turned on her but his face was obviously more impressive.

Lucia can't help but stare at Neon.

She thought it would be hard to find a man more outstanding than her brother, but this man is on the same level as her brother if not more.

Yue can understand Lucia. She almost had the same expression when she saw Neon only she managed to hide it better.

She silently pinched Lucia's hand to her attention back, at the same time she heard Neon chuckle.

"Lucia meet Keanne" she had no choice but to introduce them, but Yue avoid mentioning Neon's name as he might not want others to know since it was his

"My pleasure to meet you Miss Lucia" Neon showed a slight frivolous look.
