Chapter 1048: Too Much For Heart

Chapter 1048: Too Much For HeartXiang Weimin's consistently stoic face melted when he looked at Justin and rushed to his side. "What a pleasant surprise, little bud! Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"        

"It wouldn't be a surprise then," replied Justin with his toothy grin.      

Xiang Weimin poked his chubby cheek saying, "Aiyo, and whose idea was it?"    

"Pretty sister said I can come over with her and I can see your garden," said Justin.    

"Pretty sister can never go wrong," said Xiang Weimin with his biased self taking the side of Raelle.    

"Then can I see?" asked Justin as he blinked at Xiang Weimin eagerly.    

"Yes, but not now," replied Xiang Weimin as he rubbed Justin's small head and Justin even let him do it.    

Actually, no one knew that Xiang Weimin had met Justin even after Raelle got discharged from the hospital. He had gone for his regular checkup and met Justin again. And they spent quite some time together. So, they were even closer than the first time they met.      

Seeing Justin's pout, he added, "Let's eat something first." He touched Justin's little tummy saying, "Look, your tummy is touching your back already. It's lunchtime. We should eat first. Food first, everything else in life can wait. Got it?"    

"Got it," Justin nodded his head obediently.    

On the side, Mu Chenyan and Grandfather Xiang were observing this interaction with their sharp eyes. They didn't even blink and the more they looked, the weirder the feeling was in their hearts.    

Both of them slipped to the side and looked at each other. Mu Chenyan licked her lips before opening her mouth to say, "Do you have the same feeling as I do?"    

"What do you think? I'm old, not blind," said Grandfather Xiang.    

"This could be a bizarre coincidence, right?" asked Mu Chenyan with a peal of awkward laughter but even she didn't have faith in her own words right now. It just didn't sound all that believable!    

"Are you trying to deceive yourself?" asked Grandfather Xiang. "Don't bother. It's too obvious!"    

Mu Chenyan's mouth twitched, "Indeed, it's self-evident. At first, I only got a familiar feeling seeing his eyes but now... Now, I must say that I know why I got that familiar feeling. He has the same eyes as everyone else in the Xiang family."    

"Wai doesn't have those eyes," reminded Grandfather Xiang.    

"There are odd balls everwhere, Elder Xiang," said Mu Chenyan. "Let's not get hung up on minor details like that. This is serious!"    

"You're right. It is serious," agreed Grandfather Xiang. "What do you think is going on here?"    

"How would I know?" retorted Mu Chenyan.    

"Didn't you always keep an eye on Wai and Weimin?"    

Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him, "And who was the one who said I should let the kids grow up freely? You wanted to give them freedom, didn't you? So, how would I know everything? I only kept eyes on if they were doing well."    

"I can't believe you missed out on this," commented Grandfather Xiang.    

"How is it my fault?" asked Mu Chenyan. "The way they are acting, it really looks like a father and a son. Especially Justin looks like Weimin. When he was that age, he looked the same. Except that Weimin's cheeks weren't so chubby." She suddenly looked upset, "Did we not feed him enough back then? He'd have looked so adorable with chubby cheeks too, right?"    

"Focus, Chenyan!"      

Mu Chenyan coughed and got back on track as she sighed, "This won't do. Let me go and do some investigation."        

"You're still wasting time talking here? Get going already!"    

"Roger that!"    

She was about to turn but stopped and leaned down to say, "Elder Xiang, if he is really Weimin's son, that means you have a great-grandson! You're not old anymore. You're ancient. An antique piece!"    

Grandfather Xiang smacked her head and she stopped cackling like an idiot.    

"You have a big influence on our family's little prince," said Grandfather Xiang. "His brain is also cooking up this nonsense all the time like you. Stop that already. If I'm antique, you're old. You're a grandaunt!"    

Mu Chenyan felt like she was stabbed in her heart and her eyes widened in shock, "How about I don't investigate it?"    

Grandfather Xiang pinched her nose, "Just by closing your eyes, the truth will change?"    

"Fine, fine!"      

It's not like she was really gonna stop it. If she didn't notice, that'd be a different case but now that she had, she couldn't just ignore it. If their conjectures were right, their family's descendant was right in front of them! How could they let him grow outside?    

"Minmin lived the clean life," she muttered to herself. "I wonder what went wrong."    

Even if she gave enough freedom to them to grow up, she still was familiar with their lifestyle and habits. So, she was very familiar with the fact that Xiang Weimin lived a clean life. His only interests were fighter jets and his flowering plants. Apart from that, he had close to no hobby.    

In a daze, Mu Chenyan walked to the dining table because as Xiang Weimin earlier said, first food and then anything else. She had to take in some food to provide energy to her body to even work. How will her brain work without fuel?    

She watched Xiang Weimin carrying Justin over and her eyes couldn't move away from them. Side by side those faces gave her a bigger shock. What a loving father, and obedient son act was this!    

Throughout the lunch, only Mu Chenyan's eyes were stuck on Xiang Weimin and Justin. Xiang Weimin kept putting food in Justin's bowl and Justin bowed his head to eat. Even though he couldn't use his chopsticks well at this age, he still insisted on doing it himself. He was slow but he wasn't messy at all.    

He looked like a cute little furry animal when he ate.      

This cuteness was too much for Mu Chenyan's heart.
