Chapter 575 - GRACIOUS LITTLE LADY (1/2)

Hu Lei was anxious to see Little Hikari after being dropped off by Yuan Haoran's driver. She was almost hopping with excitement because she had been looking forward to the moment since the first time she saw a baby picture.

The little girl looked a lot more like Akira, but her smile had distinctive Kaito-ness. But she could not wait to conduct an onsite assessment of the little princess. The thought made her walk faster with a silly smile on her face.

”Do not rush. They are not going anywhere.” Zhong Feng said as he held Hu Lei's arm, preventing her from running up the coral stone stairs to the house.

”I know.” Hu Lei pouted and slowed down.

When they got to the door, Kaito and Akira were waiting. Somehow, they seemed a little different, even more than Hu Lei had seen through their video chats. They looked older and mature, perhaps because of the worries of life.

The group shook hands with enthusiasm before Hu Lei laughed at how formal and proper they were all being. She was never someone who bothered with standard greetings. She preferred to get right into a conversation.

”Are you going to keep blocking the door?” She asked playfully.

Akira and Kaito moved to the side of the large door, but they waited for Hu Lei and Zhong Feng to enter the house first.

”Come in, come in.” Akira beamed. ”I cannot believe you guys are here.”

”Of course, we are.” Hu Lei responded. ”Hopefully, this time we can go home together. Maybe, begin planning for that big wedding.”

Akira blushed a little and twisted the ring on her finger nervously. If it were not for the things that happened, she believed that she and Kaito would have long tied the knot. However, they never discussed the details after she came out of her coma.

The only indication that Kaito was still thinking about it was that he put the ring on her finger. However, there were no concrete plans so far.

Kaito noticed that Akira was overthinking things and probably drawing the wrong conclusion. He pulled her into his arms and tightened his hold around her body.

”What are you thinking about? We are going to have a magical day.” He whispered.

Hu Lei smiled at seeing the cute couple. She was happy that they were able to overcome the difficulties and come out on the other side stronger. However, the most important thing was seeing the little princess.

”You can continue being romantic here, but show me to my cute goddaughter first.” Hu Lei said.

Akira sighed with some distress. ”She is a little fussy today. Maybe it is the changes in the island and the noise. She has been crying a lot.”

Hu Lei felt a little sorry for Akira. Wang Lei did not cry much, so she did not understand much about fussy babies. She could imagine it was hard to get rest.

”Just show me the way, and you can take a break for the evening. Ah-Feng and I have already eaten, so we can watch the baby.” Hu Lei offered.

She knew they had a nanny, but she suspected they could not feel at peace leaving their child in the hands of someone else on Martial Island. Even though the place was no longer a prison for them, they were still not free.

Otherwise, they would have left a long time ago.

It was inevitable they would feel nervous about the safety and security of their baby as long as they were on Martial Island. Therefore, Hu Lei thought it would be a good thing to give them a night off to rest before the championship the next day.
