Chapter 1145  Can't Do It

Xiang Weimin's lips twitched slightly when he looked at Xiang Wai and Zhai Yanjun running away as if he was gonna eat them both if they stayed for a little while longer. He was obviously just messing around with them but he didn't think he was still able to scare them away.

"You scared them away, Lieutenant," said Raelle.

Xiang Weimin turned his head to look at Raelle and shrugged, "That wasn't my intention. But it's not my fault that they have weak hearts."

"It'd be right to say that your opinion matters to both of them a lot. That's why you can faze them. If your opinion meant nothing to them, they wouldn't be guilty or embarrassed in front of you. After all, they didn't commit a crime."

Xiang Weimin observed Raelle's blank face for a moment before he nodded, "Indeed. I agree with that."

"Did you steal diamonds last night or chickens?" asked Raelle.

"Huh?"

"You have quite some dark circles," mentioned Raelle and Xiang Weimin rubbed his face.

"I neither stole diamonds nor chickens," said Xiang Weimin. "I just had a lot on my mind so I couldn't sleep last night properly."

"You have something to talk to me about?" asked Raelle.

"Yes," answered Xiang Weimin.

At this moment Shui Xian came out from behind Raelle and said, "Shall we go? For breakfast?" Then he looked up and noticed Xiang Weimin. Well, it was hard to ignore this tall person's presence but who told Shui Xian to only have eyes for his wife? How could anyone else be in his eyes?

"You go down first," said Raelle.

Shui Xian was not happy with this and looked at Xiang Weimin with some dissatisfaction on his face which he didn't even try to hide at all. In turn, Xiang Weimin smiled at Shui Xian making the latter even madder.

Raelle touched his hand and said, "Go and wait for me. I'll be right there with you soon."

"Oh," responded Shui Xian and left first.

Raelle moved aside and said to Xiang Weimin, "Would you like to come inside to talk or we can walk while talking?"

Xiang Weimin thought about it a bit before saying, "Let's sit down and talk."

"Okay," agreed Raelle and walked inside with Xiang Weimin walking behind her. "What is it about?" asked Raelle once they sat down, without wasting any time. After all, she just told Shui Xian that she'll right there with him. How can she let him wait for long?

"Don't you know?" asked Xiang Weimin as he rubbed his hands together a bit nervously. For the first time in his life, he was sweating so much without running. He didn't think it was possible before this day. He wasn't even this nervous when he first introduced himself to Raelle.

"Why go round and round? Can't we talk straightforwardly?" asked Raelle. "But I guess you're here because of Justin."

Xiang Weimin looked up and nodded his head.

"So, you heard?"

"I did," answered Xiang Weimin.

"How did it feel?" asked Raelle with genuine curiosity. "How did it feel to suddenly have a son?"

"Unbelievable at first," told Xiang Weimin. "And the more it sank in, the more it feels... happy?"

Raelle nodded her head and didn't continue this topic. "Why are you here to look for me? Can't be to share your happiness with me, I believe."

Xiang Weimin wiped his hand on his pants and said, "No, it's not about that."

"Then? Do you want his custody?" asked Raelle.

Xiang Weimin paused and stared into Raelle's eyes as he asked seriously, "What if I do? Would you help?"

"No," answered Raelle honestly. "I definitely won't help you. The reason is also very simple. Although you're my brother, I won't take your side on everything. Justin's birth mother didn't give your name to Justin. I can't force Tang Hebe to give her son to you. And let's keep in mind, right now, Justin is Tang Hebe's son and he always will be. It won't change no matter what you do."

Xiang Weimin chuckled, "This whole family has the same answer. Don't you want a nephew?"

"That's an entirely different matter," said Raelle. "But I still won't allow you to snatch Justin from his mother. It's not right and I don't agree. And Lieutenant, you think you can do something when I disagree to it?"

Xiang Weimin pursed his lips and shook his head, "I don't want to go against you. And my idea isn't to fight for the custody either." He was silent for a moment and asked, "You won't say that I'm irresponsible for leaving my son outside for so long?"

"Why should I?" asked Raelle. "It doesn't seem like your fault."

Xiang Weimin's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard that. Since last night he was really feeling like something was stuck in his throat which he couldn't swallow or throw out. But now, he was soothed when he heard that from Raelle.

"You really think it's not my fault?"

"You and Chi Xirui, both were adults when it happened. It's wrong to say that you have the whole responsibility since the matter of Justin not being in our family has more to do with Chi Xirui than your irresponsibility. She never told you anything about Justin. How would you know? Shouldn't our concern be why she didn't tell you? What was holding her back exactly?"

Xiang Weimin's smile became sincere and he said, "It's still our Raelle who is thinking right. Thank you for believing in me."

"I have a good eye for people," said Raelle. "If I don't believe in you, wouldn't I be doubting my own judgement? I don't like that." She straightened up and added, "Now, brother, what's your plan? You said you don't want Justin's custody that means you must have thought of something. You don't seem like someone who would be happy to abandon your son like this."

"I don't want to abandon him. I can't do it at all."
