Chapter 1233 So Polite

Chapter 1233 So Polite

"Are you here to talk about Justin's custody?" asked Tang Hebe trying to make herself appear calm in front of him.

However, how could she hide these subtle emotions from someone who was professionally trained? Xiang Weimin could see her fears and apprehensions very clearly at the moment and it only proved how much Justin meant to her.

"I believe my sister has made the matter of custody very clear to you," he responded.

"But Raelle is Raelle," said Tang Hebe. "What she said was what she meant. You never brought this up. And more than her, I'd like to know your opinion since you're Justin's biological father."

"If you wanna hear it, I'll tell you," he said. "I have no such intentions. Raelle's words are my words too. You can put your heart at ease. I am not here to fight with you for my son's custody."

"Do you usually listen to your sister that much?" she asked.

"If what she says is right and reasonable, then yes. And trust me, 99% of the time, Raelle is right and also reasonable. It's hard not to agree with her. Especially for me who is already said to be somewhat similar to her. In our family, they say that Raelle's and my thoughts are always quite in sync. We have a lot in common."

Tang Hebe nodded her head, "So, what's the plan? For the future?"

"That's what I want to ask you," replied Xiang Weimin. "What do you think we should do? It's an undeniable fact that Justin is my son. And you can also see that Justin really likes me too. So, the idea of telling him the truth about my identity on his birthday is confirmed. And I think you can see what his reaction would be."

Tang Hebe didn't even have to think to know what reaction Justin would have. She had thought a lot about it since she learned the truth and she even thought that Justin might not be able to accept it. But today when she was Justin, she immediately crossed out that possibility.

The bond between father and son was already built without her knowing it. Justin already considered Xiang Weimin as the father figure in his life. So, she didn't think he'd mind when he learned that this was really his own father.

"Yes, I know," she answered.

"So, since you know and I know too. We should start thinking about the future now."

"What's your idea?"

"I definitely don't wanna bring too much change into Justin's life. He is still small. I would like to give him a healthy environment for growth which would definitely need your cooperation. I'll have to trouble you a lot."

"What trouble could possibly be there?" asked Tang Hebe.

"Justin will live here with you but I'd like you to allow him to go to the Xiang Manor even when I'm not there. Since he'll be joining the kindergarten, that'd be only possible on weekends. If possible, I'd like him to spend the weekend with my family. Do you think that's okay with you?"

Tang Hebe thought about it and nodded her head, "Sounds right me. There is nothing wrong with what you said. You don't even have to ask me for this. It's not like you're making an unreasonable demand."

"You see, my profession doesn't allow me to stay at home for a long time. Even after I take my transfer to the Base here, I'll only be able to spend two weekends with my son in a month. But I don't want him to feel like he has no one. In the Xiang family, even if he won't see his father, there will still be many people to love him. And from what I've noticed, he needs a lot of love."

Tang Hebe rubbed her head, "I know. I've been told. He is very insecure. But you can't blame me for that. He was already like that when I went to pick him up. I don't know if he was affected while in the womb of his mother since she was always on a run during her pregnancy and was also stressed, tensed, and tired. All those nerves would have had some effect on him. And even after his birth, he might have seen something he shouldn't have. Because that's the only thing I can assume after seeing how he had been haunted with nightmares that he can't even describe to me." She sighed, "You're actually right. I'm a single one in this family and even if someone comes, it's only my nanny who comes over. This kind of environment would make him withdrawn. I also thought sending him to the Xiang Manor would be good. Anyway, he likes his aunt Raelle too much already."

"You seem to have a big opinion about my sister." n0velusb.c0M

"I don't dare," Tang Hebe raised her hands. "I really don't dare to have any more opinions about her. I think I've had enough opinions in my life. It's okay not to have anymore." She hurriedly tried to change the topic and asked, "What about his name?"

"Huh?"

"His surname actually."

"What's his surname right now?"

"No," she replied. "I was asking about the surname only because I want to know if you want to add him your Xiang family's household "Xiang," she answered.

"Do you wanna change it?" he asked.

"No," she replied. "I was asking about the surname only because I want to know if you want to add him your Xiang family's household registration book or let him be in mine?"

"Again, he is too young," said Xiang Weimin. "Let's wait for that. It's not urgent. For now, we will just add his name to the geneolgy once we go back to our hometown after Justin's birthday. In fact, I'd like to ask you if we can take him with us. It's obviously necessary for him to be there but if you don't want..."

"Stop! I agree. You can take him."

"Thank you!"

Tang Hebe gave him a weird look, "What is wrong with your Xiang family? Each one of you look so difficult to talk to and yet, you all sound so polite."
