Chapter 1184: Good Suggestion
This weekend was quite exciting for everyone except for one person. And that was Xiang Weimin. He was the only one who was at home during this weekend and he even had to see everyone else around him laughing and enjoying themselves while he was so anxious.
He watched his father chatting with his grandfather as they came back from a walk, his aunt Chenyan also came back with a big smile on her face and even aunt Yue had a sweet smile on her face as she baked a cake for everyone. Oh, look, his sister was almost jumping around in joy looking like a fool.
It was so damn obvious that the women in this house were in love that Xiang Weimin had no words to describe his mood being stuck in between them.
Even the person who wasn't in love was very annoying right now. And that person was Hyson who also had a lot of fun with his group members and only came back home on Sunday night.
Xiang Weimin rubbed his face with his hand and picked up his tablet to work. If he kept looking at these people, his own sullen-ness will make him more depressed in contrast with the pink bubbles in this home.
"What's up, Lieutenant?"
Xiang Weimin looked at Hyson's hand on his shoulder and turned to look at his smiling face. Right now, this smiling face was like mocking him, reminding him that he was the only one who was going through the biggest crisis of his life. And yes, this crisis was having a son out of nowhere and not being able to even bring that son home. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨
Sigh! What did he do wrong to deserve this?
He didn't think he did so many bad deeds in his life to deserve this kind of a punishment from the Heaven. In fact, he believed he had done a lot of good deeds in life. Especially those that involved saving lives.
"Are you ignoring me?" asked Hyson when Xiang Weimin didn't respond.
"No," answered Xiang Weimin. "Can I dare to ignore you, Xiang family's little prince?"
"My title of the little prince is in jeopardy right now, Ge," reminded Hyson. "All because of your son."
"Well, my identity as a father is also in jeopardy, do you know that?"
Hyson pursed his lips to suppress his laughter and said, "I guess you have it worse, Ge."
"Tell me about it," said Xiang Weimin.
"You've been thinking about that all this while?" asked Hyson.
"I'm not thinking," answered Xiang Weimin.
Hyson pointed at his tablet, "You've been looking at the same page for the past half and hour since I came back home."
Xiang Weimin closed his eyes and refused to comment on that.
"What are you so worried about, Ge?"
"What do you think?"
"You think you won't get your son?"
"I don't want him," said Xiang Weimin.
"What?!" exclaimed Hyson as he jumped out of his seat. "Opa, your grandson says he doesn't want to bring your great-grandson back home!"
Xiang Weimin put his hand on Hyson's mouth to stop him from shouting. If his grandfather really heard this, he'd be so dead!
"Do you want me dead?" asked Xiang Weimin. "Why are you so impatient? Let me at least finish what I want to say first before yelling."
Hyson gave him a suspicious look.
"I didn't mean to say that I don't want my son," said Xiang Weimin. Seeing his disbelieving look, he added, "What I mean is that, I don't want to snatch him from his adopted mother. That'd be wrong to do so, don't you think so?"
Hyson tapped his hand which was still blocking his mouth and when Xiang Weimin put his hand down, Hyson said, "So, what? You want to let the things be?"
"No way! If I wanted that, would I be so anxious all this while?"
"Then tell me what's on your mind?"
"It's my first time being a father."
"There is nothing new about that," said Hyson. "Everyone becomes a father for the first time. They don't come with experience."
Xiang Weimin rolled his eyes at him, "What I mean is, my son is already old enough to understand things. Don't you think it's more nerve-wrecking to go to him at this age to tell him that, 'Hi, son! I'm your father!'"
Hyson shuddered at that, "I won't like that."
"Exactly!" said Xiang Weimin. "I'm worried that Justin won't be able to accept it. And no, I don't want things to be as they are. I do accept that Miss Tang has done an amazing job at raising my son but I can't just forget that he is my son and let her have him all to herself. I might be kind enough to not take away her status as the adopted mother of my son, but I want my status as a father too."
"Why don't you just marry her then?"
There was a burst of gasps behind them and as they turned around, they found the three women of the family standing behind them.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" asked Xiang Wai.
"Did I say anything wrong?" asked Hyson. "I think it's the best solution. We can't snatch Justin from his mother. Justin won't like being apart from her either. But we also want Justin to come back home to his roots. So, isn't the best option to just let Ge marry Miss Tang? It's the best of both worlds."
While Xiang Wai had a disapproving look on her face regarding his suggestion, Mu Chenyan had a thoughtful expression. And Yue Yue straight up went to beat her son for even saying this.
'Marriage is not a joke! How can you play around like this with something sacred like marriage? Do you even hear yourself? Does it even make sense?'
Hyson rubbed his head where he was hit and grumbled, "What did I say wrong? I think it's a good suggestion."
