His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

When the family of three arrived at the house with Uncle Taiki, they realised that his offer was not a perfunctory one. Moreover, he did not talk to them about it without careful consideration. But again, Taiki was a meticulous man. 

"You did not have to do this," Akira said with a smile and misty eyes as she looked at the nursery. 

The decorations and the features were almost the same as the nursery in their home in Mountain Ridge. Uncle Taiki put a lot of thought and planning to replicate the environment that the room she had designed. 

"I want my grandniece to be comfortable," Taiki said calmly. 

After showing them the nursery, he showed them to the remodelled bedroom. Both rooms were on the ground floor because Taiki was worried about the safety of Akira and the baby. Although Akira was given a clean bill of health, she still needed to work on her body to restore normal function. 

Moreover, he did not feel like it would be safe for Akira to move with the baby on the stairs. The little thing was small and light, but all it would take was a wave of dizziness for things to fall apart. It was too much of a risk. 

In any case, it was more convenient for the little family to stay downstairs. 

Therefore, he turned his library into a nursery and renovated the guest bedroom so that the three people could be together. He was quite pleased with the outcome, and he was happy to see the happiness in Akira's eyes. 

As for Kaito… He would be happy as long as Akira was happy. 

"I have engaged the services of a professional nanny. She is just a normal person recruited from the outside world, but she is very reliable." Taiki added. 

"People can move to Martial Island for work?" Akira was surprised because she had noticed from the hospital that the xenophobia on the island was strong. 

"Yes. We have agencies that headhunt and recruit people from around the world for work. The process is rigorous. They find people who present a low risk of wanting to return to the outside world. It can be said that the people hired are those who just want to retire in peace." Taiki said. 

"Oh, alright," Akira said. 

"I know you want to do most of the work yourself, but it is good to have some professional help. You are still recuperating, and you will find that taking care of a baby is tiring." Taiki added. "If you do not like the nanny, we can find another one." 

After saying a few more words, Taiki left them to settle in. Kaito and Akira found that everything was ready for them, including clothes and shoes. Kaito was a little annoyed by how caring his uncle was. It made it impossible for him to hold a grudge about their first meeting.

"You should thank your uncle with some sincerity," Akira said with an amused smile as if she could see through Kaito's petty thoughts. 

Kaito snorted. "Is there any need to say thank you between family members?" 

Akira giggled. "Are you finally admitting that you think of Taiki as your true family?" 

Kaito refused to admit the matter properly because he had gotten used to rejecting Taiki. However, he had long accepted Taiki as his family member. Despite their rough beginning, he realised that Taiki might be a bit of a stiff person, but his heart was mostly in the right place. 

And over the last few months, he had proven to be a true family member. When Akira was in a coma, it was Taiki's emotional support that stopped him from giving up on himself. He was at the brink of ending it all, and Taiki kept him afloat. 

So, he had long acknowledged his uncle. 

"We should get the little princess settled in before she notices something and starts crying." Kaito changed the topic because he did not want to think further about his uncle and the foolish thing he had almost done. 

Akira did not push. She did not know the exact reason that Kaito had a melancholic and hopeless expression for a short moment. But she understood that some things could not be shared until the storm was over. 

"Are we really not going to name the baby?" She asked. 

"We will have to register the birth a little later because we cannot return to Japan for now. So, we still have some time before we settle on a name." Kaito said while checking the crib. 

Akira narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "We already came up with a lot of name options. Why are you being so cagey?" 

Kaito cleared his throat as he continued meaninglessly checking the safety of the crib. He knew that Taiki would have done multiple checks, considering how neurotic he could be. 

"Kaito…" Akira called him threateningly. 

"Fine, fine." He lifted his hands. "Do you remember how I said that Dr Jiang did not ask for our firstborn?" 

Akira could already feel that this story was not going into a good place. Her sharp eyes were like knives, piercing through Kaito. 

"What did you do?" 

"Nothing," Kaito said with an awkward laugh. 

"Just say it directly." Akira sighed. 

"As I said, Hu Lei made a deal with the devil. I am not sure about the exact details, but I could tell that it was something especially difficult." Kaito looked serious as he remembered Dr Jiang saying that he was lucky to have a sister willing to go so far for him. 

Akira felt a little guilty for the trouble, but she did not know what to say or do. Hu Lei had already done so much for them, and it seemed like they were too indebted to her. 

For a moment, Akira felt like Hu Lei's father. He was someone who took advantage of Hu Lei's love and used her to the point that he probably broke her soul. Now, they were also taking advantage of Hu Lei by letting her take risks for them. 

"I called Hu Lei and asked about it, but she did not tell me the details. I said that I would pay the price for the deal, whatever it took. She refused and said that talking about it would invalidate the agreement she made." Kaito said with rising frustration. 

"What does this have to do with the name?" 

Kaito laughed a little roughly with both amusement and bitterness. "I guess Hu Lei thought I was feeling too guilty, so she said that she always wanted to play the role of an evil witch. She said that she wanted the naming rights for the baby and dating priority for Wang Lei."

Akira was speechless. 

But it did sound like something Hu Lei would say. 

No one could guess what was going on in Hu Lei's mind.
