Chapter 1278 Dad!

Chapter 1278 Dad!

Tang Hebe originally didn't want to come to join in the fun. It was simply because she wanted to give Justin and Xiang Weimin a chance to spend this birthday together. But Xiang Weimin insisted on letting her come. And when he said that Justin would feel uncomfortable without his mother on his birthday, she couldn't refuse.

Originally, she had her own reservations before coming to the Xiang Manor but when she came, she realized that she didn't have to be so restrained. This family didn't even try to steal Justin from her when they really could. How could she fear this family? Even if every person in this family was a bit intimidating in their own way, it still won't change the fact that they tried their best to make her feel at ease.

She talked with Grandfather Xiang, Xiang Hulin, Song Xin'ai, and even Mu Chenyan, and all these people actually expressed their gratitude towards her for raising their family's little kid for these years and giving him a warm home.

She wasn't expecting this reaction from them. But it made her feel a lot more relaxed.

"I think Mr. Xiang, you should just tell him the truth already," said Tang Hebe to Xiang Weimin who was still dawdling around.

Xiang Weimin looked at her, "You think so?"

"Of course," answered Tang Hebe. "How long are you gonna wait?"

"He looks so happy," said Xiang Weimin.

Tang Hebe agreed with that. Indeed, Justin looked very happy here. Even she was surprised by the way he was playing with the other two kids. It made her feel like it was the right choice not to run away with Justin. It's not like she could ever run from this family but still, she had that thought for a fleeting moment.

"So? Go and make him happier!"

"Are you sure, he'd be happier and not shocked?" asked Xiang Weimin.

"I know my son. He is young but he is very sensible. He already likes you and he'd only be happier knowing that he has a father just like any other kid."

Xiang Weimin took a deep breath and nodded before going over to the place where the children were playing. He watched them playing for a while before calling out, "Justin!"

"Yes!" "Can we have a moment?" noVe.lB-In

Justin trotted up to his side with his small legs and looked up at him, "What is it?"

Xiang Weimin looked at Xena and Sammy saying, "How about you guys play and I'll just borrow your new friend for a little while, okay?"

"Okay," agreed Xena and Sammy very obediently.

Xiang Weimin smiled at them gently before he picked Justin into his arms and took him away. He took him away from everyone and brought him inside the house and placed him on the table while he sat on the chair making them come eye-to-eye with each other.

"I have something very important to tell you about," said Xiang Weimin.

Justin blinked his innocent eyes at him and nodded, "Okay. What is it?"

"You know about your mom?" he asked.

Justin nodded again, "I do. I have two mothers. One is named Chi Xirui and the other is Taang Hebe. One of them became a star to protect me and the other is always by my side to love me."

Xiang Weimin placed his hand on his head and smiled at him, "Yes. That right. Then do you know about your dad?"

Justin shook his head, "No. I don't know. Mom said she doesn't know either."

"Then would you like to meet your dad?" asked Xiang Weimin nervously. Justin tilted his head slightly as if he was thinking hard about this question. It only made Xiang Weimin more nervous.

"It's not that your dad didn't want you. He just didn't know about you at all. He didn't leave you alone. He truly didn't know that he had a son until now. Your mother didn't tell him anything. So, he had been in the dark all these years."

Justin looked into his uneasy eyes and said, "Then does he know everything now?"

"Yes, he does," answered Xiang Weimin. "He does and he is very sorry for leaving you alone for all these years. He is also very ashamed that he missed these years of your growth. But he promised that if you gave him a chance, he'd try to be the best dad possible. Even though he has no experience whatsoever. He does his best to protect you, love you, and care about you."

"Dad!" called out Justin catching Xiang Weimin off guard. "When are you gonna get to the point? Are you that scared of me?"

Xiang Weimin was left speechless. He stared at Justin in disbelief who had a look of an adult like he was really worried about his father's declining IQ and it only made Xiang Weimin feel even more strange. He didn't even know how to react right now. His son just called him dad out of nowhere really startling him.

"What... What did you just call me?" asked Xiang Weimin as his voice trembled a little.

"Dad!" answered Justin. "Why? Am I supposed to call Father? Daddy? Baba?"

Xiang Weimin hugged this tiny human into his arms and said, "You can call whatever you want. It doesn't matter at all." He kissed his face as he calmed himself down and asked the question on his mind right now, "How did you know I was talking about myself?"

"You made it so obvious," said Justin. "I heard from a great person that observation is a key to solving mysteries. So, when you suddenly appeared and mom allowed me to spend time with you alone, it became a mystery worth pondering. After all, as long as I can remember, mom hardly even left me alone with the nanny because she was always nervous that something would go wrong. But she was always assured when I left with you. She even found ways to make me spend more time with you. Then came your

unilateral love for me. I don't doubt that I'm cute and smart and a sensible kid but I don't think you're someone who would love and care about just any random kid."
