Chapter 1280 Taking Time
Xia Zhao stepped out and stood with Hyson. He looked at Xiang Weimin and said, "It's really not acceptable. You should be nice to my son."
Xiang Weimin was taken aback, "Uncle?"
Xia Zhao shrugged, "I only have this son. I have to take his side."
Hyson gave him a smug look as if he was really provoking him but it only made Xiang Weimin laugh. On the other hand, Zhai Kuijun was hit very badly seeing Hyson being so close to his 'godfather' while his real father was forgotten in a corner.
Yue Yue noticed his emotions and held his hand, giving him a comforting look with her eyes. Zhai Kuijun forced a smile back at her and decided to not take it to heart. Everything takes time and the relationship between him and Hyson will take longer. He couldn't be impatient at this stage and he couldn't disheartened even more.
Justin blew out the candles and cut the cake. He wanted to feed the first piece to his mom but considering that he wasn't sure about the cake, he turned to Xiang Weimin first. "Ge, your son wants to check the cake on you first. Since you baked it, you should be the first one to test it too," joked Xiang Wai seeing through Justin's intention.
Justin blushed a little at being seen through but Xiang Weimin didn't mind.
"It's okay. I'll taste it for my son, there is no worry," said Xiang Weimin as he took a bite. He noticed how everyone observed his expression and found it funny. He suddenly had an evil thought but he knew his poor acting skills wouldn't be able to support his evil idea. If Hyson had been at his place, it would have worked. He swallowed the cake and said, "It's a lot better than I expected. And it's safe everyone. It's safe."
Everyone laughed hearing this. There was laughter around and the scene was really lively. Justin smiled brightly and really enjoyed himself. "Let's take a group picture," suggested Hyson. "Why? First you give my son his gift before talking about other things," said Xiang Weimin.
"Ge, don't hold grudges. You only have one little brother like me. Go easy."
"You should also go easy. I also have one son. You can't talk bad about me in front of him."
"When did I?" asked Hyson in surprise. "I'm very innocent in this case."
Xiang Weimin shrugged, "Then you should say nicer things to my son about me."
"I'll try to think about what are your nice qualities."
"What do you mean? You have to think about it first?"
"Or else?"
"Fai, what are Raelle's nice qualities?"
"She has nice qualities? When did that happen?" asked Hyson in shock. "Ge, you seem to have some wrong impression of your sister. She really has no good qualities to brag about. Ouch!"
His words were cut off when his ear was pinched from behind and he looked at Shui Xian in disbelief.
"Xian Ge?"
"Husband, don't let go," said Raelle.
"I won't," assured Shui Xian. Raelle stared at Hyson, "You have a lot to say today."
"No, I always have a lot to say," said Hyson in response. "Then how about speaking less?"
"No, can't do. How will I live with so many words in my brain. I have to empty the space in my brain by speaking out the words."
"You even have a brain?"
"Haha!" Hyson laughed so fakely at her question. "I do have a brain and it works better than you. Don't underestimate it." He winced and added, "Can you ask your dear husband to let go? My ear is about to come off."
"No," replied Raelle. "Not yet."
"Oh my gosh! Why am I suffering here with this cruel person?"
"You chose this cruel person for yourself. No one forced you back then."
"I was blind for a moment."
"Now, suffer for being blind for a moment," retorted Raelle.
"Okay, okay, let him go. He is in pain," Xiang Weimin stepped in to save Hyson.
"Tsk. You fell for it too easily," said Raelle. "Should I say Hyson's acting is too good or you are too gullible?"
"I think the credit goes to my acting," said Hyson shamelessly while he hid behind Xiang Weimin, away from the evil claws of Shui Xian and Raelle. "Xian Ge, don't always do what she tells you to do. Have your own opinions."
"If I followed my own opinion, I was gonna beat you for talking bad about my wife."
"Oh, here goes another cruel person. Won't your conscience hurt being so cruel to an innocent kid like me?"
"Nope. It doesn't hurt at all. I would have felt inner peace."
Xiang Weimin shook his head at them and turned to Hyson, "Go and spend time with your nephew. You should introduce yourself properly to him. He is least familiar with you around here."
Hyson nodded, "That's right. How can he not know that he is my successor?"
"What?"
"He took my baby throne. Doesn't that make him my successor?"
Xiang Weimin was so helpless as he watched Hyson skipping over to Justin's side. "This... I don't know what to say about him."
"It's better not to say anything," suggested Raelle as she took Shui Xian away too.
Meanwhile, Zhai Yanjun found time to talk to his father and asked, "So, how is your progress? Are you already with Ai? Or I have to wait longer?"
"You're more eager than me around here," said Zhai Kuijun.
"Can you blame me?" asked Zhai Yanjun. "I just feel like you're taking too long."
"Impatience isn't good," said Zhai Kuijun. "So, I'm taking my time."
"With your son too?" asked Zhai Yanjun. "Because certainly, it's gonna take way too long with Fai." It's not like he didn't notice Hyson's natural interaction with Xia Zhao but he seemed really polite and distant with Zhai Kuijun. For a moment, even he felt bad for his own father. But he really couldn't do anything about this. Hyson didn't even listen to him much and if he pushed Hyson, he might get pushed away too. It was better for him to worry about his own relationship with his brother than sympathizing with his father. It wasn't helpful anyway.
