Chapter 247 - 247 - Calculative Gaze
"Hey I'm talking to you!" the conceited girl shouted, grabbing the back of his shirt.
That was the limit. Yue stood up and pushed her hand away. "Shut your trap up. Another word and I will definitely break your pretty little neck." He growled loudly.
The girl trembled slightly. "You.. do you know who I am? I'm Meili, Su Meili. The heiress of...."
"I don't care. And I don't want to know. So shut up and let me work in peace!"
That shut that girl's trap momentarily. But just after a minute of being stunned, she started to shit once again. "Tell me your name! I will make sure you will not have a peaceful life!" she shouted aloud.
Yue rolled his eyes. "Yue, you can do whatever you want."
"Yes! You just wait! I will make sure you will feel my full-fledged wrath,"
"y-you should not act so arrogant to those who are helping you..." a soft voice whispered, interrupting her banter.
Yue glanced at the person who said that. It was another girl he failed to notice. She was sitting In the farthest corner with her knees bent and close to her chest. she looked about the same age as him and was also wearing decent clothes.
"Who are you to talk to me to in that tone, you bitch!"
The woman stood up, patting the dust off her clothes. she moved close to Yue and stood in front of him. Her pretty tearful eyes focused on him. "I'm Huijin. You can call me Jin. thank you so much for rescuing me. I..."
"I didn't come here to rescue you. I came here for a friend. You can say you guys mutually benefitted from it," he touched Juda's bruised cheeks.
Juda hissed loudly, slapping his hand away playfully.
"Tian is going to blow up for sure,"
"That's for sure. But I can handle her well." Juda confidently smiled at him.
Yue shook his head. Tian can be very protective sometimes. if she got to see Juda's face right now, she will definitely go ballistic, beating anyone and everyone up. 'Calming her would be a big feat,'
Sighing, he helped apply bandages to the bruises on her leg and hands.
"I need one too," a person suddenly whispered close to his ear.
Yue flinched back, peering at her. It was the unnoticed girl named Huijin. "Don't get too close. The next time you do that I might accidentally slice your head off,"
The girl's pupils trembled slightly. "I'm not scared of you... you're my savior," she held his sleeve with a coy smile.
Yue just shook it's off. 'Yeah, whatever you want to think, girl.'
"I'm leaving... sir... I am sorry but my child is alone at home," the lady with brown hair said, anxiously glancing at the shutter.
He just nodded. "Stay safe. Don't get caught up in issues like this afterward."
"Definitely," the lady gave him a respected bow and left the warehouse.
The wolf girl also silently walked out, leaving only three other girls in there.
The cocky rich girl, whose name he did not bother to remember, the teenage girl, and Huijin who did not know the concept of personal space.
"Yue~ can you take me with you?" Huijin said with a small smile. "I can be of help. I can cook clean. I can even..."
"No! no.. I don't need anyone in my life. I already have a lover..." he shot her down immediately.
He had seen girls like these before. Some of them were pushed by the circumstances to sell themselves.
This one thought looked very cunning, though. She silently observed him from the corner for a while, hiding her presence. When she deemed him to be worthy, she got close and tried to curry favors.
There was a sharp glint in her eyes as she looked at him up and down calculatingly.
'She must have seen me fight and thought I would be a worthy sponsor and caregiver. Sorry to break your bubble, but I don't want that,'
He did not spare her another look in hopes that she will give up.
But the girl.... she did not get her cues.
She scooted close and held his sleeve shyly. "it's okay. I can be your side girl. you don't have to do much,"
"No, thank you." Yue shook her off once again.
But she was darn persistent. She kept moving closer until she was almost half sitting on his lap.
Yue shot up and moved closer to the walls. "Juda, when will you be done?"
"Just a few minutes." Juda, who was feeding the guy sips of water, whispered. She could read the room. Yue was pissed and annoyed by the touchy girl, so she wanted to distract him somehow. "So, how was your trip?"
"Good." Yue curtly whispered.
The touchy-touchy girl suddenly glared at Juda.
Yue slightly narrowed his eyes. 'This girl is pretentious and ambitious. Just the type of people I wanted to stay away from.... fuck, why did I even get involved with them? I should have just let them be until the military came around.'
Feeling his gaze on her, the woman smiled sweetly. "You went outside? I heard it was very risky. It is bad out there,"
With that question, she caught the attention of everyone in the room.
Even the teenage girl perked her ears up, waiting for his answer.
"It's bad. But we can recover fast." He hopefully whispered.
Shooting down hope right now was not a good thing. If there was any rumor going around that going outside was hopeless, then things would get chaotic.
Humans who lost their hope would always become unpredictable.
It's that unpredictability that he wanted to avoid.
"Oh that's good to hear," the woman scooted close and knelt down by his feet. Subtly, she even opened the top few buttons of her blouse, exposing her ample cleavage.
Yue was least interested in that appendage, to be honest. He did not even bother giving her a second of his attention.
"Done. I'm done. We can leave," Juda said.
Yue happily lifted her up. "Hold tight. It would be a bumpy ride,"
Juda hugged his neck with a cute giggle. "Don't you dare drop me. I'm precious cargo..."
"Yeah right." his hand gently touched the back of her head. He could feel the sticky feeling there. This part was where Juda tore her hair chunks from. It was bleeding slightly. 'Fuck.... Tian really is going to be pissed. Don't know who's head is going to roll…'
