His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 564 - THE PERFECT NAME

A few days later, Akira called Hu Lei. 

She had put off the call as long as she could, but she could not do so anymore. 

It was not that she was afraid of talking to Hu Lei. She was just a little overwhelmed by everything that happened. And, she did not know how to face the person who paid the price for her and her daughter to receive help.

However, she needed to face everything directly. 

"Hu Lei, it's me," Akira said after calling. 

As a habit, Hu Lei never spoke first when she received a call. She would always wait for the other person to say something, except in special circumstances. 

"I hear you are doing well." Hu Lei said with a smile in her voice. 

Akira frowned. She had an inkling that Hu Lei had heard about this matter from someone else. It was highly probable that Hu Lei had communicated with Dr Jiang or the rumoured demon kind she had not met. 

"Yeah. I am ok. I am just having some trouble with a nameless baby." She replied with some humour in her voice. 

Hu Lei laughed. "That is my bad. You do not have to take the deal with Kaito so seriously. You can use the name that you want." 

Akira pursed her lips a little. "No, I want you to name the baby." 

"Akira…" Hu Lei started to interrupt her. 

"No. Let me speak. It is not just about holding up the end of a deal." Akira paused. "I want my little princess to share in your spirit. You are always willing to put your life on the line for people you treasure and love." 

Akira's eyes teared up. "I think it is a little foolish, and I think you are too soft-hearted. But it is because of this that you were ready to make whatever difficult deal you made to ensure my survival. If my princess can have a share of your love and get a little of your kindness, I will be happy." 

Hu Lei felt awkward about this heartfelt speech. She was not much for speaking a lot about her emotions, so she was always uncomfortable when faced with excessive displays of feelings. It made her want to end the call. 

But she considered Akira her friend. 

"Call me foolish and soft-hearted when you are not crying." In the end, Hu Lei rebuked softly, instead of facing the emotions directly. 

"Whatever. I know you are soft-hearted." Akira sniffed with dissatisfaction. "So, what name did you decide on? I warn you! It cannot be something awkward that will get our baby bullied." 

"Who would dare bully her?" Hu Lei said fiercely. "If something happens, I will be there defending Wang Lei's future… I mean, the princess is under my protection." 

Akira giggled. "If Kaito hears you, he will fight you. He is about to transform the nursery into a safe with excessive protective measures. He has decided that he will build a home school for the little one and defend her against all evil eyes." 

Hu Lei laughed. "Ah-Feng plans to send off poor Xiao Bao to a training camp as soon as he can stand for five minutes. I am his only hope for a carefree life, but he insists on sticking to his future warden. Peh! I will see how he will beg for mercy in the future." 

Akira was amused because she could totally picture the situation. She had lived with the couple for a while, so she had seen their personalities. She could see how much Hu Lei wanted to spoil her son, but the little boy was a minimalist. 

"So, what will be my baby's name?" Akira asked again with apprehension. 

"I have decided on Hikari." Hu Lei said with self-satisfaction. 

Akira was immediately relieved. She liked the name a lot, especially when she thought about its meaning. In the darkest of times, when she thought that she would never live again, there was Light. 

It was the perfect name. 

"Hikari." She repeated. "I like it." 

Hu Lei was arrogant as she replied. "Naturally."

"So, what favour do you owe for my treatment?" Akira asked suddenly. 

"Nice try!" Hu Lei laughed for a long while. "Are you trying to use my distraction to force me to speak involuntarily? I invented that trick." 

"It was worth a try," Akira said with a shrug. "So, you are not going to tell anyone about the deal? You know that will put you in danger. The demon king could take advantage of that to carry out his nefarious plots."

  "Of course I told my husband." Hu Lei rolled her eyes even though Akira could not see her. "Do not worry so much. Just focus on raising little Hikari. And be careful around Martial Island in the period you will be there."

Akira frowned because she remembered Uncle Taiki warning her about the instabilities on Martial Island. The fresh warning made her wonder if there was something she was missing. Hu Lei couldn't speak without some special knowledge about the situation. 

"Alright." She still decided not to pry. She would ask Uncle Taiki, although it was likely that she would not get anything out of him. 

The two ladies talked for a little longer before the call ended. 

In Supreme City, Hu Lei smiled as the call ended. She looked at the time on the phone before looking down at Beatrice. 

"Catch." She shouted before tossing her phone. 

Beatrice caught the phone in her hand with ease, but she thought it was because of Hu Lei's great throw. She looked in awe as Hu Lei swayed in an upside-down position for a moment before straightening her legs. 

Just when it seemed like Hu Lei would fall from the high monkey bars, she contorted her body and held another bar. She nimbly continued navigating the bars again with speed. Her upper body strength was incredible. 

"You are really amazing," Beatrice shouted like a cheerleader. 

Hu Lei laughed without pausing. "I would be faster if it were not for this voluptuous chest." 

Beatrice huffed and puffed as she looked at her own meagre baby rabbits. "Are you trying to attract hate from the flat society?" 

"You can eat more tofu or soya or papayas. Mmhm… I do not know what people use. I have never been flat." Hu Lei replied. 

She was not apologetic, and there was even amusement in her eyes. After completing another round on the monkey bars, she dropped from the high height to the ground. She walked to Beatrice and looked at her chest without bashfulness. 

"Maybe you should follow me to Herb Town. I have a cousin who is very experienced in nutritional medicine.." She declared before walking away, leaving an angry Beatrice.
