Chapter 1279 Is It Edible?

Xiang Weimin was left gaping at his son in utter shock. He was so small that Xiang Weimin could lift him with one hand but his intelligence was not to be underestimated. Maybe they all thought they were smarter than a kid but they shouldn't have underestimated this small kid too.

"Such a small brain is really capable of thinking about all these big things, eh?"

Justin smiled at him, "I'm only small in size but I'm very smart."

"Of course, you're smart. After all, you're my son."

Justin's smile vanished, "Was that a compliment for me or yourself?"

"What do you think?" asked Xiang Weimin teasingly. Justin refused to answer and turned his face away. Xiang Weimin lovingly pinched Justin's face and asked, "So, what else did you figure out?"

Justin's attention was caught again and he answered excitedly, "I figured out that you and I look very similar and our eating habits, daily habits, and even likes and dislikes are oddly alike."

"You figured all that in such a short time? Did I help bring a genius into this world?"

Justin nodded, "I think so."

Xiang Weimin laughed out at his response. "Now tell me which great person told you to observe things?"

"Pretty sister."

"I knew it," said Xiang Weimin helplessly. "Of course, this great person would be Raelle. By the way, she is your aunt. You can't call her a sister anymore."

Justin made a face at that and Xiang Weimin suddenly realized that not only his son was more talkative then the first time they met but he was also a lot more expressive about his emotions too. Taking a pause, Xiang Weimin inquired, "So, do you like this dad?"

Justin wrapped his arms around his neck and gave him a kiss on his face, "I like this dad very much."

Xiang Weimin felt like he was gonna float with just this comment. "Okay, let's talk about serious things," said Xiang Weimin.

"Serious things?" asked Justin.

Xiang Weimin hummed, "I just realized that I should stop treating you like a kid all the time. I can't underestimate your intelligence and ability to understand things. So, you do know that the relationship between your mom and I isn't like what is normal for others' parents, right?"

"I know. You guys are not married."

"Wow! My son even knows about marriage." He cleared his throat and went on, "Yes, we are not married and we have technically no friendship to speak of either. Our only connection is you."

"I understand."

"That means, we won't be living together in a home like a family too."

Justin pursed his lips before nodding, "Yes. I understand that too."

"Are you okay with that? We'll take turns taking care of you. You'll spend some time with your mom and some time with me and my family. This family. Do you like this family? If you're uncomfortable with them, you can tell me."

"I like them. I like them all. They are all very nice."

"They are?" asked Xiang Weimin.

"Yes, better than mom's family." Justin covered his mouth as if he said something wrong. Seeing Xiang Weimin look, he said, "Sorry, I forgot. We can't talk bad about someone behind their backs."

Xiang Weimin rubbed his head, "It's okay. Yes, it's a bad habit to talk behind someone's back but having your own opinion isn't wrong. And since your like this family, you can come here anytime you want to. Don't feel like a guest. This is your home and your family too."

Justin's innocent eyes stared back at Xiang Weimin. "Tomorrow, we want to take you on a trip."

"Where?"

"To our hometown. The place where our Xiang family's ancestral home is."

"Is it a beautiful place?"

"Yes, in my memory it's a very beautiful place," answered Xiang Weimin. "Would you like to go?"

"Go!"

"Okay, we'll go together then." Xiang Weimin picked up Justin again and said, "Let's go now and cut your cake. I baked it myself for your birthday."

"Is it edible?"

Xiang Weimin gave him a look, "What? Are you doubting your father now?"

"I'm just asking a question."

"You should spend less time with Raelle."

"No, can't do. The world lits up whenever I see her."

"Oh? Then what about me?" asked Xiang Weimin.

"You?" Justin thought about it seriously before answering, "You're like a tall mountain."

"Mountain?"

"Yes. Mountains are a symbol of strength and resilience."

"Is that so? Why didn't I know?"

"You should read more."

"Son, are you already questioning your father's intelligence? Don't forget we have the same genes." noVe.lB-In

"Yes, same genes. And it shows."

Xiang Weimin chuckled and happily took his son out to cut the cake. As the stood in front of the table with the cake, Xiang Weimin happily pointed at the drawing on top, "See? I drew a dinosaur for you."

"Is that dinosaur?" asked Justin in confusion.

Xiang Weimin looked at his drawing which was hard to read but still insisted, "It's a dinosaur. Why does it look like a dragon to you?"

"No, I thought it was a rat."

"Pfft!"

Everyone laughed at his comment making Xiang Weimin scratched his nose in embarrassment. "Son, you can stop being so disgusted with your father."

Justin patted his arm, "It's okay, dad. We can't be good everything."

"Right? For now, we shouldn't be worried about whether it's a dragon or a dinosaur. The real worry is if this thing is really not gonna kill us all."

Xiang Weimin glared at Hyson who stuck out his tongue at him, "I am right, Weimin Ge. Don't glare at me like that."

Xiang Weimin took a deep breath before saying, "It won't kill you but I might end up beating you little brother if you continued like this." He turned to Justin and said, "Son, this is the bad uncle. Don't pay attention to him."

Hyson stared at him in disbelief, "You are messing with the wrong person."

"Really? You're gonna call your godmother? Go ahead, I'm not scared."

Hyson snorted, "That's old news. I have a new supporter." Xiang Weimin raised his brow at him while Hyson called out, "Godfather,

come here and tell him that he is messing with the wrong kid."
