Chapter 594 - THE BRAVE LITTLE BUNNY (1/2)

*Check out the volume description in the Auxiliary Volume i.e. first chapter of the book*

Furukawa Shun was not a complex man.

In fact, he prided himself on not being a complicated individual. He had clear likes and dislikes. He enjoyed living honestly. He did not cut corners in his business operations. Moreover, he was open in his personal relationships.

He looked out through the window of the penthouse suite of The Summit Residence. The moon was round and bright, but it did not cheer him up as it usually did. He turned and looked to the front door before chuckling to himself.

Of course, Che was not going to follow him.

Now that he had calmed down, he realised that he had practically bitten off Che's head for nothing. He was a little angry after his conversation with Hu Lei. But Wang Che had not done anything to warrant the poor treatment.

He sighed. He needed to apologise for his behaviour.

He walked from the window and towards the fridge. He was hungry and thirsty because he ran from the wedding before having a morsel of food or a glass of water. He needed some sugar in his body before he gained the courage to call Che and apologise.

It was not Wang Che's fault that he did not like him.

This thought made him sigh again. It frustrated him, but he understood. His relationship with Wang Che was random. There was no magical tale behind it. He could not even remember the first time they met. He knew of Wang Che through the parties they attended in Supreme City.

The first time they truly talked was during a night out with a motley crew of wild second-generation people. Shun was frustrated and complaining about failing to find someone to customise bumper cars for one of his playgrounds.

When he went to the bar, Wang Che appeared next to him with his prince-like smile while holding a glass of red wine. He looked at Shun with amusement that bordered on condescending. Shun's feathers were ruffled by that look.

However, he forgot about his annoyance once he heard the words Wang Che said.

”I know a guy who does custom motor work.” The words were soft, sounding harmless.

”Really? Can you give me the number? This whole thing is a pain in my ass. You cannot believe how long I have been looking for someone.” Shun perked like an energised bunny.

”What's in it for me?” Wang Che asked.

The bunny was deflated by the words. He had heard that this master of Clarion Motor City was a shrewd businessman. However, he did not expect that he needed to pay for a recommendation. If anything, the other guy should be the one paying Wang Che.

However, at the time, he was a beggar, not a chooser.

”What do you want?” Shun asked in resignation before warning Che with a righteous expression. ”But you should know that I will not do anything illegal or immoral.”

Wang Che laughed. ”Do not worry. I merely would like for you to accompany me to dinner.”

Shun felt a deep wave of nostalgia as he remembered the dinner on a yacht. He ended up falling asleep on the deck after eating seafood without decorum. When he woke up, he could no longer see anything familiar.

The next morning, Wang Che showed no guilt at kidnapping him, claiming it was his fault for sleeping on the vessel. Before he knew it, he was dragged into the water to snorkel against his will, and his protests that he was not comfortable with large bodies of water were ignored.

Shun shook his head and opened the fridge. The cool air helped him snap out of his memories and the feelings they evoked.

Then, he saw the note attached to the lemonade.

'Drink. No one will bring you carbonated drinks.'

The simple note evoked deep emotions that almost made his eyes water. He loved drinking fizzy sweet drinks, but he would always get a stomachache afterwards. But nothing could keep him away from them when he was drunk. Except for Wang Che's sweet lemonade.

Wang Che must have assumed that he would drink during the wedding and prepared it beforehand. Of course, he knew Shun's usual behaviours, so he made sure to tell the staff not to bring anything to their suite.

Yes, it was their suite.

When Clarion Extreme was designed, it just made sense to have a place to stay inside the grounds. Wang Che asked him where he would like to stay. He responded that he would stay nowhere other than the penthouse.

”You like feeling like a king looking down on your subjects, right?” Wang Che teased him with a ruffle of his hair. ”Then, the highest spot on the mountain will be yours.”
