Master’s Untamed Wife

Chapter 1210 Knowledge

"Ge, you came here first?" asked Xiang Wai when she saw Xiang Weimin waiting inside the private room. "Where is my nephew?"

Xiang Weimin pointed toward the pond, "He's looking at the koi fishes."

"Isn't he too into fishes these days?" asked Xiang Wai. "I thought he likes dinosaurs."

"He does," replied Xiang Weimin. "We even went to the museum. But it's also true that lately, he is quite interested in fish too." He took a pause and asked, "You came alone? I thought you'd bring Zhai Yanjun."

"Oh, he is coming," answered Xiang Wai, and then ran to join Justin. "Yo, little one! What's up?"

Justin looked up at Xiang Wai and smiled at her as he answered, "Hello! How are you doing, auntie?"

"I am doing absolutely fine," said Xiang Wai. "What about you?"

"I'm good," he replied without any shyness.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

Justin pointed at the koi fishes in the pond as he said, "Do you know that the oldest koi fish ever recorded was Hanako?"

"I don't know that," replied Xiang Wai very honestly. She didn't feel any embarrassment as an adult that she knew nothing about it. If she didn't know, she'd never say she knew. Why would she lie to a dumb. In fact, he was happy to share with her, "Hanako was a red Higoi Koi. Hanako was born in 1751 in Japan. She died because of old kid and make him think that adults are omnipotent? Wouldn't it break him once he grew up and realized that adults actually are more confused than kids in life?

Justin didn't mind her answer and neither did he think that she was dumb. In fact, he was happy to share with her, "Hanako was a red Higoi Koi. Hanako was born in 1751 in Japan. She died because of old age in 1977 at the age of 226."

"She spent quite a long life," commented Xiang Wai seriously.

"Actually, koi fishes can live up to the age of 50 depending on their environment and genetics. In fact, it can even go up to 70 too."

"Wow! I didn't know any of that," said Xiang Wai. "Our Justin is so smart."

"No, it's not that I am smart. It's that you are not interested in koi fish that's why you don't have this knowledge. There is nothing wrong with that. Don't feel bad."

Xiang Wai was left smiling at being comforted by her little nephew. But she had to say it felt very good. At least, he didn't think she was dumb. He was indeed an adorable one. How could he be so adorable?

"Tell me more," said Xiang Wai. "I'm all ears. I'll listen to it even if I'm not interested before. I'll pay attention as long as the teacher is as adorable as you."

"You really want to know more?" he asked.

"I do. Tell me."

Justin was obviously more than happy to have a listener with whom he could share what he recently learned. "You see, unlike other koi, Ghost Koi originated in Britain. Ghost Koi is a crossbreed between a mirror carp and a metallic Ogon Koi."

"Why are they called Ghost Koi?" asked Xiang Wai.

"Because their metallic scales make them apparently disappear when they are underwater. Fascinating. Isn't it?"

"Very fascinating."

Here, Justin continued to share his knowledge from his knowledge pool with Xiang Wai, and there, Xiang Weimin pursed his lips at his sister who was suddenly so engrossed in her discussion with her nephew, that she even forgot where she was. Of course, he wasn't gonna go over to disturb them at all. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈

"What's happening there?" asked Mu Chenyan as she came in after seeing the chef of this private kitchen. She looked at her nephew in confusion.

"Knowledge is being shared," replied Xiang Weimin. "Let's not disturb them."

"I wasn't going to," answered Mu Chenyan.

'What's the knowledge related to?' asked Yue Yue from Xiang Weimin.

"Kois," replied Xiang Weimin.

Yue Yue's lips made the shape of an 'O' in understanding and didn't ask anymore.

"By the way, Yue, what do you know about Kois?"

Yue Yue gave her best friend a strange look but still answered, 'The combination of 8 red and 1 black koi is considered "lucky".'

"Why do you know that?"

'Because we had this combination in our home when I was little.'

"Oh," responded Mu Chenyan. "I shouldn't have asked that."

'I don't mind.' Yue Yue shrugged without any care. After all, it really didn't affect her anymore. She didn't mind talking about her past as much as she used to. Now, she had nothing that she couldn't face. She had nothing to hide from anyone and she had nothing to be guilty about either. That's why she had been feeling very light-hearted.

As if she had shed some weight off her heart and now, she was free.

"Where is everyone else?" asked Mu Chenyan. "Should I call again?"

Yue Yue pulled her back, 'It isn't time yet. Don't be so impatient.'

"I'm not being impatient. I'm just wondering where my Elder Xiang is. Shing Ge said he'd come together with Elder Xiang. I can't believe they are both late."

"Aunt, sit down and drink some water," said Xiang Weimin. "Why are you always in a hurry? Aunt Yue is right. You should wait for a little while more. There is no hurry."

"I'm not in a hurry. Really. I'm not." insisted Mu Chenyan but the other two obviously didn't find her words every believable right now. "Forget it. I won't talk about this again. Okay?" She took a pause and asked Xiang Weimin, "How have you been these days? I mean, spending time with Justin. How's the experience?"

"It's been interesting," answered Xiang Weimin. "Quite new. But I still find it amazing. Justin usually might stay quiet but once he comes across the things he likes, he has a lot to say. And the best part is, fortunately, we have very similar interests. So, I can still bond over that too."

Mu Chenyan smiled at that, "It's good. And how are the arrangements for Justin's birthday?"

"I told you, I can handle it."

Yue Yue also agreed with him, 'You stay out of it. He is the father. Let him do it.'
