Chapter 564 - THE PERFECT NAME (1/2)

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.
