Shun was protected like a delicate little flower since he was a child. He was provided with the best things in life, and he never lacked anything he wanted. If he were a different person, he might have become a wild and unruly tyrant. 

However, he was a good child who just wanted to be his own man. After completing his required education, he naturally joined the Furukawa family business. He was good at a lot of things, but his parents and brothers could not bear to see him suffer. 

Therefore, they gave him only the easiest tasks so that he would not get too tired. 

When he was about to reach the end of his rope, an opportunity to escape to Supreme City came. His parents agreed to let him go because he said it would be like a vacation. Moreover, he said he wanted to meet his online gaming friend. 

After finding out the gaming friend was Zhong Feng, the son of a respectable family, the Furukawas bid their precious diamond farewell. Little did they know that he did not plan to return home. But once he was out of their grasp, there was not much they could do.

Shun believed that since that moment, everything he had, he had worked for it. He had become an independent man after going to Supreme City. Even though he received help here and there, it was always in return for something. 

It meant that he was no longer the 'princess' of the Furukawa family. 

Therefore, Hu Lei's words rubbed him the wrong way. He could not believe that she had spoken so harshly. He became extremely angry and faced off the petite woman like an enemy general.

"What do you mean by that? I am not helpless. I can handle my own issues." His usually pleasant face changed to a gentle pink shade as he fumed. 

"Is that so?" Hu Lei asked in a challenge, refusing to back down. Her lips even formed a small smile as if she had everything in her grasp. That superior look infuriated Shun further.

Right on cue, Wang Che appeared from behind Hu Lei. He stepped beside them and looked from one person to the other. His eyes rested on Shun with concern. 

"What is going on here? Is there a problem?" Wang Che asked.

Hu Lei looked at Shun in a condescending and meaningful way. The implication was obvious. She had triggered Shun on purpose to make him angry because she knew that Wang Che would not be able to resist coming to his rescue.

"No, there is no problem. We are just having a spirited discussion." Hu Lei said when she saw Zhong Feng at their table looking at her with a lifted brow. "I should join Ah-Feng and keep enjoying this lovely wedding. Feel free to join us later once you calm down. What am I saying? This place belongs to you guys. You can do whatever you want." 

Hu Lei turned and walked away with the flair of a villainess. She smiled with an evil twinkle in her eyes and without a speck of guilt in her heart. 

"What was that about?" Wang Che frowned. As far as he knew Shun and Hu Lei got along perfectly. They had never disagreed, except for the occasional drunken argument, usually about something stupid like movies and pop stars. 

Shun was in a daze for a moment. Even though he was a little slow when it came to emotions, he was not an idiot. He could see what Hu Lei was implying that Che liked him. He felt vulnerable and exposed after the conversation. 

It was not like the thought of him and Che had never crossed his mind. In the recent past, he had begun thinking about it more and more, especially after that night in Le Burlesque. It was on that night that he realised that he was very close to Wang Che. 

Moreover, he admitted that in his heart, he wanted to be even closer to him. 

That same night, after drinking a few too many coloured drinks, courage surged within him, and he decided to do something a little crazy. But Wang Che stopped him. The sting was harsh and cruel to him. It was the first time he put himself out there.

When Wang Che refused his advance, he was deeply hurt. He did not know how to process it. He sat under a cold shower for almost the entire night in shame. Despite his search for independence, he never encountered true hardships. 

Until that night…

After that, he decided to shut down his wild thoughts and never consider such a crazy thing again. He realised that Wang Che probably treated him like a little brother or something. His embarrassment caused him to pretend that he had forgotten what happened. 

The next morning, he got a bad cold and fever. Wang Che could not press him for answers, despite not knowing if Shun had really forgotten what happened. Because of this, he was able to continue enjoying his completely normal relationship with Che. 

"It is nothing." He replied with pursed lips.

"Shun…" Wang Che began. 

"I have a headache. I'm going to rest for a while." Shun could not compose his emotions, so he decided to escape for a while. 

"I will come with you." Wang Che frowned in concern. He did not believe that Shun had a headache. But since he cared enough to make up the sloppy excuse, something had to be bothering him. 

"I am not a child, for f*ck's sake. I can take a nap without supervision." Shun raised his voice angrily, causing some of the nearby guests to look in their direction. 

Noticing his strange behaviour, Shun left the reception hall immediately. Wang Che intended to go after him, but one of the Furukawa brothers stopped him for a short 'talk'. 

"You have caused quite a bit of trouble this time." Zhong Feng looked at Hu Lei with his raised refined eyebrows. 

Hu Lei pouted. "I did not know that they would make a scene. I am just frustrated with the lack of progress. At this rate, they will both end up sad and miserable. I have at least helped them start a conversation." 

"Admit it. You just wanted to stir up the pot now that Kaito is married and settled." Zhong Feng tapped on her nose. 

"I admit nothing." Hu Lei scrunched her nose. "But even you have to admit, that whole situation was getting very weird and unhealthy. And not in a fun way." 

"I do not interfere with other people's affairs." Zhong Feng smiled. "It is your turn to give a speech. You better make it good. Kaito and Akira do not seem happy with that little incident." 

Hu Lei looked at the bride and groom and noticed their flat expressions.. She smiled awkwardly before standing up to give her speech.
