Chapter 1200: See You Tomorrow
"Brother, let's go back now!"
Xiang Weimin brought Justin back inside and found that Tang Hebe was scrutinizing him. For some reason, he wasn't very comfortable with that scrutiny. But he tried not to show it either.
"Are you done talking?" asked Xiang Weimin to Raelle.
"Yup."
Xiang Weimin raised his brows at her inquisitively waiting for her to elaborate but Raelle didn't even more. Xiang Weimin wanted to roll his eyes at his sister right now who refused to say an extra word sometimes. "What else?"
"Oh, you'll take Justin out to play tomorrow. And you'll come to see him every week at least three times."
Xiang Weimin frowned at her words.
"What? Don't want to?"
"I didn't say that. I'm just trying to understand what you're trying to achieve by doing this."
"I didn't think you'd be so slow too," commented Raelle and ignored him. Instead, she looked at Justin and asked, "Little man, would you like to go out with my brother tomorrow to play?"
Justin first looked at Xiang Weimin and then at Raelle. Finally, his eyes set on his mother. Tang Hebe saw the excitement in his eyes. She almost couldn't believe it but she still gave him a nod of encouragement.
Justin nodded his head, "I want to go."
Xiang Weimin was obviously happy to hear that and asked, "Where do you wanna go?"
Justin thought about it before saying, "Aquarium?"
"You wanna see fish?" asked Raelle. "That's boring."
"It's not," said Xiang Weimin. "I'll take you to the aquarium. What else? Where do you wanna go? I'll take you everywhere."
"Can I go to an amusement park?" asked Justin in his milky voice.
Tang Hebe was shocked to hear him say that. When did her son start being interested in such crowded places?
"But there are too many people there," added Justin as he pursed his lips. And hearing that, Tang Hebe breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God! It was still her son and not a doppelganger. For a moment, she was scared.
"That's okay. If you wanna go to the amusement park. This aunt of yours will book the whole place for you. My brother is poor. I am not."
Xiang Weimin took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "I'm not poor, Raelle."
"It's okay, brother! No shame! I won't look down on you."
Xiang Weimin really rolled his eyes at her and Justin said, "That's rude. You can't roll your eyes like that at people. That's very rude."
"Tsk. Even a kid understands that."
Xiang Weimin decided to ignore Raelle and said to Justin, "We'll go to the aquarium tomorrow. Then we'll plan for the amusement park. Don't worry. There won't be a crowd to get in your way."
"Okay," Justin agreed readily. "Momma, would you go with us?"
Tang Hebe rubbed his head lovingly, "No, baby. You go and enjoy yourself. Momma will wait for you at home."
"Oh." He took a moment and asked, "Would you be okay being alone at home? You're still sick."
Tang Hebe's heart melted seeing the care of her son and she said, "I am not sick anymore. And Nanny Mi will be back tomorrow to be with me. Besides, it's been days that I've been at home. Momma should do something to get busy, no?"
"Okay."
"You'd be a good boy and won't disturb..." Tang Hebe wanted to say 'uncle' but remembered that would be wrong. So, she changed her words, "Just don't bother others."
"I won't. I'll be a good boy."
"You are my good boy!"
Xiang Weimin saw the interaction between them and had a small smile playing on his lips. Raelle walked up to his side and whispered, "You're thinking about marriage?"
"Shut up, Raelle!"
"That's not a way to talk to your younger sister!"
"Who asked you to annoy me so much? When did you even become like this?
"I'm just asking. Genuinely curious."
"I don't have that plan."
"Okay," said Raelle.
"By the way, what did you say to her?"
"We just agreed to let Justin recognize his ancestors. Don't worry. You'll be the father. First, just cultivate feelings for him. We'll talk to him on his birthday. That reminded me, you better start planning the birthday for your son. You'll be the one to do it without anyone's help. It's your job."
"I don't want anyone's help," replied Xiang Weimin. "I'm more than happy to do something for my son."
Xiang Weimin didn't mind that he had to wait to tell Justin everything. He was okay with the wait since Tang Hebe knew everything now and even accepted it all. She also didn't mind letting Justin recognize his family. So, the rest was a matter of time. Besides, he totally agreed with Raelle's plan to first cultivate feelings with Justin before asking him what he thought about having a father.
Haste makes waste.
They couldn't just shove everything at the little kid all at once. That won't be fair.
"Then I'll see you tomorrow, champ!" said Xiang Weimin.
Justin was reluctant but thinking that they'd see each other tomorrow, he agreed and nodded happily, "I'll be ready."
Xiang Weimin rubbed his head.
"Then we should leave now," said Xiang Weimin.
"Won't you stay for dinner?" asked Justin. "Momma, are we not keeping them for dinner?"
"They don't wanna stay for dinner," said Tang Hebe.
"We'll have dinner with you another day, little buddy," said Raelle. "Tonight, we don't have that plan. Besides, your Nanny Mi is on leave. We wouldn't wanna tire your sick mother now, right?"
"Right," Justin agreed with that solemnly. "Then I'll invite you to dinner another day. You can't refuse then."
"You ask for my life, I'll even offer that to you."
"I don't want that," said Justin.
"Stop talking nonsense to him," said Xiang Weimin to Raelle. "We are leaving. You take care of yourself."
"I will."
"Take care of your mother too," added Xiang Weimin.
"I definitely will," replied Justin.
"Good boy!" complimented Xiang Weimin.
