Chapter 464 - DISDAINFUL BABY (1/2)

In Supreme City, Azure Woods was not as quiet as it used to be before Akira's arrival. Her presence seemed to have triggered the floodgates, and the place had become noisy and lively with more people coming in and out of the place.

However, Akira was not the main attraction in the house anymore.

Two weeks after her arrival, Hu Lei had popped out a baby boy. The sudden labour had scared most people in the house because the predicted due date was still three weeks away. The worry was that the Little Master would be premature.

Zhong Feng was particularly stressed and could not eat or sit still. On the other hand, Hu Lei was quite relaxed, claiming that both she and the baby were fine. Still, Zhong Feng had flown several specialists to Supreme City for the birth.

Hu Lei had rolled her eyes before smoothly giving birth to the baby. Yes, Akira had seen her roll those eerie golden eyes in the hospital while she was on the hospital bed, listening to her husband's nagging. Shortly after, Hu Lei went into delivery.

The whole thing did not seem painful or stressful for Hu Lei. But again, if someone could bear the shock of electricity coursing through their body among other countless tortures that Akira refused to watch, she could not be fazed by a small thing like giving birth.

One month later, Akira was holding the little baby, also known as Zhong Wang Lei. The name was too impressive for the cute thing, so almost everyone called in Xiao Bao for now. Akira looked at the amber eyes staring back at her.

The colour was not golden like Hu Lei's unusual eyes. Instead, it was a slightly darker shade that appeared a little more natural than his mother's. All in all, he was the cutest baby Akira had seen, not that she had seen many.

”Xiao Bao, what do you think they are talking about?” Akira asked as she repositioned the baby.

The amber eyes seemed to look at her with some disdain. Or perhaps, Akira was imagining it because she was a little embarrassed about her insecurity. She was even consulting a baby to know if Hu Lei and Zhong Feng were discussing her.

She had not rushed them on the matter concerning Kaito. After all, it was hard to focus on anything else when there was a new baby in the house.

However, three days ago, the couple had begun acting shady again and ducking into the study to talk. It looked suspicious to Akira. She was worried that they had found out something bad about Kaito and were unwilling to tell her.

That thread of fear wrapped around her heart and squeezed.

The baby turned its head to look to one side, relying on Akira's support. The motion was ridiculous because the little thing did not have any strength at all. But this did not stop the attempt. Akira looked in the same direction and saw nothing.

After a short while, Hu Lei appeared through the doorway into the living room. Akira looked at the baby and shook her head at her ridiculous thought. She had read that one-month-old babies developed some reflexes and could hear familiar sounds.

But there was no way Xiao Bao could have heard his mother coming. She felt ridiculous for even letting the thought cross her mind.

Akira looked at Hu Lei with some envy. While she was now much bigger at almost six months of pregnancy, Hu Lei was almost in perfect shape as she lost the baby weight. The contrast between them caused Akira to huff in anger.
