THE BET

[ 2095 WORDS ]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yuji looked over Bai San from top to bottom the grinned mischevously. "So....puss-in-boots since you are so sure that I am a con artist how about we make a bet? Before you open that disgusting mouth of yours listen to the bet first." Yuji looked past Bai San to Liu Yue. "You must be trying to heal someone with the bracelet right Miss Liu Yue?"

Despite her current anger she nodded calmly to him. "Yes I am." She replied.

" My name is Ye Yuji, take me to that person i will heal them personally and before you doubt my medical skills consider the fact that I was able to identify the medical features of a bracelet that seems normal to other people so I can assure you that I will be able to do whatever you hoped that the bracelet could. If I happen to fail I will even give you the bracelet for free or you may do whatever you want with me." Yuji proposed to her hoping that she would agree since he knew that Liu Yue cared about her grandmother very much.

He also said she can do whatever she wants as a contingency considering the bet he would make with Bai San, though he knew he wouldn't fail it wouldn't hurt to be safe.

Liu Yue was very surprised hearing his proposal. How could she trust a person she just met so easily? It was her grandmother they were talking about here, the most important person left in her life but for some reason when looking at Ye Yuji she felt like she could trust him with her whole life so after a few minutes of staring wide eyed at Yuji who was waiting for her reply patiently she spoke up and as for Bai San he didn't dare interrupt otherwise he may anger Liu Yue again.

"I accept" Liu Yue said as her answer.

Yuji smiled while Bai San was very shocked. " Yue'er! you can't put your grandmother at risk like that! What if this guy kills her!" Bai San didn't like Yuji at all and wanted to get rid of him as fast as possible.

Hearing Bai San's words she was very angry." Bai San! I warned you not to call me by that name! furthermore if I hear you comment on my decisions one more time I swear on my buisness I will not let you off easily!"

Bai San realised what he had just done and was about to apologise but Yuji spoke up first. "Oi idiot it's time for our bet and keep your mouth shut while I'm talking. If I am able to heal Liu Yue's patient then you will castrate yourself and you will pay the 600 thousand dollars that she was going to pay, If I lose I will give you my life. Its a fair deal if I say so myself unless you are too useless of a young master to actually make such a small bet." Yuji added a little provocation at the end to get Bai San to agree.

Liu Yue was shocked hearing the bet and was about to laugh considering Bai San may be crippled down there, for some reason she believed that Yuji could save her Grandmother so she was unusually not worried about him who just offered his life in case of failure .

Hearing Yuji call him an idiot he was about to burst out into a fit of anger again but then hearing that he could kill Yuji without any problems to deal with he was very happy and immediately agreed without thinking of the consequences.

"I am in!" Bai San didnt think Yuji could solve something that the best doctors in the City couldn't, plus his father was making sure that the old lady wouldn't wake up with his connections so he wasn't worried.

Yuji smiled hearing his answer and he removed his hat and his glasses. He used his hand to comb his hair back to its previous look and dusted himself off leaving a dumbfounded Liu Yue and an irritated Bai San looking at him. Bai San was irritated because not only was Yuji taller than him he was also much better looking.

As for Liu Yue she began blushing slightly which didn't go unnoticed by Bai San which infuriated him making him want to get the bet over with to kill him and Yuji was happy seeing her reaction.

She had never seen a man so attractive in her life. Many young masters of businesses tried to get to her and they were considered to be very handsome but seeing Yuji she couldn't help but think that they were no better than average.

She felt her heart rate increase and her body heat up a bit but ignored it. Even if Yuji suppressed the Kings Heart aura his physique was also changed by the contract with Lust which released its own attractive aura which he couldn't suppress so he naturally attracted women who saw him even without the Kings Heart aura.

-- In Yuji's head --

"Hahaha Yuu-kun you're going to destroy this arrogant bastards sexual life! Pffftt he'll never get hard ever in his life from today!" Cliona was quite happy with the way Yuji was dealing with this arrogant bastard.

"Hehe beating him would be easy but for what his family is trying to do to Liu Yue I must make the punishment more permanent." Yuji then left the laughing Cliona and continued the conversation with the other two.

-- Back In reality--

"Take me to the patient." Yuji said as he picked up the bracelet and spoke with a smile while looking at Liu Yue. She was dazed by his looks but managed to regain her bearings after hearing him speak.

Bai San finally spoke up after being silent " You bastard you better prepare to die!"

Yuji just looked at Liu Yue much to Bai San's displeasure. " Miss Liu Yue your friend is quite annoying does he have an off button?"

Liu Yue frowned hearing Yuji's statement about Bai San being her friend. " I am already aware that he is very annoying but do not misunderstand he is not my friend, as for an off button I too wish that he would shut up." She glared at Bai San since she was still quite angry with him about today.

Bai San could only grit his teeth hearing Liu Yue agree with him so easily since he couldn't take action against Yuji if Liu Yue agreed with him so he swore that when Yuji fails to heal her grandmother he would kill him In the most brutal way possible.

"Lets go to my car Ye Yuji, as for you Bai San I am sure you can follow behind us In your own car." She didn't even wait for Bai San's reply and began walkin with Ye Yuji to her car.

-- On their way in the car --

"So Miss Liu Yue who am I treating?" Yuji asked to break the silence between them.

Liu wasn't driving instead it was her driver so she looked over him with a look of warning. "It's my grandmother. She has been having liver problems for the past few years and normal doctors are unable to find a solution that's why I wanted to try traditional medicine."

Yuji saw her threatening look and understood what she meant. "Don't worry I will be able to heal her and I won't try anything against you or her. You get what you want and I get to toy around with an arrogant young master. Win-Win for the both of us." Yuji smiled at her at the end of his statement.

Liu Yue was happy hearing his response then realising how he was looking forward to toying with Bai San she burst out laughing" Hahahaha Ye Yuji I've never heard someone openly go against a young master like you. I've been thinking but you truly are an interesting person. If you can really heal my grandmother I can't wait to see the look on Bai San's face when he is castrated, he has always been annoying me."

Yuji joined her in the laughter then once they settled down he looked back at her. " I never thought that one day I would be laughing together with the Buisness Queen Liu Yue I am quite honoured especially considering you are such a beautiful woman."

Liu Yue didn't know why but she was very comfortable around Yuji, she couldn't shake the feeling that she could trust him with her life.

She blushed a bit hearing him call her beautiful. She heard it from countless people before but hearing it from him her heart raced. To distract herself she immediately shook her head and replied. "If you can heal my Grandmother then you will become my benefactor so no need for formalities. Just call me Liu Yue and you are quite handsome yourself Ye Yuji I dare say you are the most handsome man I've ever seen." She smiled beautifully back at him.

" Then I won't hold back....Liu Yue~" As he said her name he released some of the Kings Aura causing her to blush and look away from him to hide it.

Yuji decided to tease her a bit and shuffled closer to her while releasing a bit more of his aura " Liu Yue what's wrong? your face is flushed, I can help you if you're feeling sick." He said in a worried tone.

Liu Yue was getting hotter and hotter though it wasn't at an alarming rate she couldn't understand why she was feeling so flustered around a man she recently met.

Hearing him worry about her she felt warm in her heart but she couldn't let him see her so flushed so she shuffled away from him " D-dont w-worry I'm okay I'm not sick."

Yuji was smiling inwardly at how cute she was but on the outside he looked sad." Ah....I see...I apologise for my needless worry."

Hearing him speak in such a sorry tone she felt bad thinking that her sudden rejection must have hurt him somehow. So she mustered up her courage and turned to face him with her flushed face. "I-it wasn't needless worry Ye Yuji! I'm very grateful that you could worry about me like that. No one ever does that for me. " Though it was to cheer him up she was telling the truth.

Other than her grandmother no one ever worried about her. So she was never able to find love or even genuine friends since everyone just wanted to use her for her buisness.

Yuji gave her the brightest smile he could causing her blush more. "Then I'm relieved."

She turned her head to face forward to try hide her embarrassment again. This time Yuji left her.

-- In his head --

"Yuu-kun your skills are quite dangerous.... I feel bad for all the men who put so much effort into trying to get Liu Yue. Here you are barely an hour after meeting her and already making her look as if steam would come out of the top of her head. Though I myself am proud to have such a husband and partner." Cliona was honestly shocked. Normally according to records it would take a host a few days to actually build a connection with a woman unless there were special conditions involved such as with Su Mengxin which allowed the host to le the woman to experience great pleasure bringing them closer to the host very quickly. Yet Yuji took just over an hour.

Yuji was happy hearing her call him her husband. "Hahaha... unless the woman shows signs of rejecting me I will do everything within my abilities to get her to fall for me. I'm a greedy bastard with morals afterall." Yuji respected relationships very much.

The relationship he had with his parents was the only one he ever had and to maintain it for as long as possible he never gave up and didn't consider killing himself for the sake of that mutual relationship.

He would never force anyone into one with him because he wanted it to be mutual otherwise he would be disgracing one of the only teachings his parents left him with.

"Mmm I know Yuu-kun." Cliona understood how much he valued relationships from watching him this past year and 8 months with Gu Xuan.

-- Back to reality --

They drove for the next hour and 30 minutes until they finally arrived at Hua Hospital.
