Chapter 591 - COMPLETELY HOPELESS (2/2)
Like a dog with a bone, she had brought up the old subject about Akira taking over covert government operations again. The continued negotiations were the reason Akira was late for the wedding. She had literally arrived from Tokyo just two hours before the main event.
”If you truly want to thank someone for the whole thing, you should thank Shun.” Hu Lei continued while beckoning to Shun who was talking to one of his brothers. ”Your wedding planner was terrible with dealing with the employees in this place.”
The excitable guy brushed off his brother and rushed over to the three people. Shun was still as handsome as always, but his navy suit made him look exceptionally refined. However, his goofy grin ruined the effect.
”Kaito and I would like to thank you for helping us with the wedding. I had a rough idea of what I wanted, but you made it all so magically real.” Akira said with heartfelt gratitude.
Shun waved his hand while laughing. ”It was nothing. I have been a little bored since Clarion Extreme was completed, so it was nice to work on something new.”
Hu Lei saw the confusion on Akira's face. ”Shun is a master at creating themed parks and resorts. He can bring any fantasy land into reality.”
”If this is what you can do in a week, I can't wait to visit one of your parks.” Akira's eyes shone.
Shun felt a little embarrassed. ”They are just playgrounds. If you visit them, feel free to drop my name.”
”I will.” Akira laughed. ”As I a show of good faith, I will be the exclusive fashion designer for your wedding. You know, when you decide to have one.”
”Thanks for the offer, but I am still single,” Shun responded while waving his hands frantically.
Everyone was silent for a moment before they all burst out laughing, except for Shun. He looked from one person to another. Before anything more could be said, the band entertaining at the reception began playing a soft tune.
”It looks like the bride and groom are needed.” Hu Lei said with a wave at the couple before pulling Shun by his arm. ”Let's go.”
Shun did not have a choice but follow Hu Lei. His confused expression made Kaito and Akira sigh as they went to the centre stage of the event.
”You know it is not that much of a problem for me to be single at my age. I am youthful and virile.” Shun said to Hu Lei with a pout.
Hu Lei rolled her eyes. ”Ugh, you are even more hopeless than I thought when I first met you.”
”And you have become way meaner. Where is the cute Hu Lei I met at Maven Restaurant?” Shun stopped walking and folded his hands over his chest.
”She never existed.” Hu Lei sighed. ”Let me ask you. Why did you leave Supreme City and come to Mountain Ridge?”
”Aaaaw, do you miss me?” Shun smiled happily.
”Talking with Wang Lei is easier than talking to you.” She said. ”After meeting your family, I can understand why you are a little slow in understanding certain things. But just to clarify, in the real world, you are not entitled to coddling and spoiling.”
”You are getting meaner.”
”And you are completely hopeless. Fine! One day, when you no longer have someone to carry you home when you are drunk, protect you from thugs and solve all your problems, remember this conversation..” Hu Lei threw her hands in the air.
