Continued Love - Chap 15

Chap 15
The Gift of Condolence

After Lu Tao returned to his house, more people came to visit than those who went to the hospital.

Cheng Jin has never entertained so many guests. When he was a young master, although there were many guests at home, he just had to eat, drink and have fun and accept compliments and flattery. He was never needed for things like making tea and preparing desserts. Come to do it, so I can’t help but feel a little nervous and unfamiliar. After bankruptcy, I don’t know if my mood has changed. I always feel a little guilty when I see people who are dressed gorgeously or who are obviously superior.

But fortunately, they came and sat for a while and left. After all, the admiral has amnesia, and he can’t chat with them at all. In this way, Cheng Jin received many gifts.

“Wow, it’s grapes!” Cheng Jin knelt down on the carpet, unpacking the gift box happily. The packaging of the gifts they brought was very beautiful, and Cheng Jin took it apart carefully, trying to avoid damaging the box. When he saw the purple-black grapes neatly arranged in the box, he couldn’t help cheering, “It’s very delicious honey grapes!”

Honey grape is a kind of grape. It grows big and is extremely sweet. Generally, you can see a layer of honey frost after peeling off the skin. It also smells very fragrant. It is a very expensive fruit. Cheng Jin loves to eat, but after running out of money, he hasn’t eaten it for more than two years.

Lu Tao also sat casually, even resting his chin with his hand, looking at him with his head tilted, and seeing the obvious joy on his face, he raised his eyebrows, “do you like it?”

Cheng Jin nodded sharply. He picked up a peeled one, but instead of eating it by himself, he gave it to his husband, “You should taste it, it’s really delicious!”

Lu Tao looked at him, then opened his mouth and took a bite on the grape with his hand. A sweet smell hits, and the taste is really good. Cheng Jin asked expectantly: “Isn’t it delicious?” Seeing Lu Tao nodded and pushed the rest of the fruit in front of him, Lu Tao fended off and said, “You eat, I don’t seem to love it so much. I don’t like sweets.” Then asked: “Why is this grape so sweet?”

“It’s the fruit grown on the Sunshine Planet. The days are long and the night is short, the sunshine is sufficient, the fruit will be sweet, and it is extremely suitable for growing all kinds of grapes. It is said that this grape yield is the highest among them, but it is necessary to buy it on the Imperial Planet. It’s still expensive, do you know the reason?” Cheng Jin put the rest of the pulp into his mouth. Because he liked the taste so much, he squinted his eyes slightly when he chewed, and he looked like he was enjoying it.

Lu Tao stared at him without blinking, and replied casually: “Because the distance is too far.”

Cheng Jin was surprised, “How do you know?”

“I have read the information.” Lu Tao seemed to like the various expressions on his face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. “The distribution of the seventy-two planets in the galaxy, the geographical location, residents, environment, and laws, etc., I know a little bit. For a moment.”

Cheng Jin’s chin was about to fall on his chest, and it took a while before he said, “You are really amazing!” The compliment in his tone was not fake at all, which made Lu Tao somewhat airy, but he didn’t show it. He raised his chin, “Don’t you want to see what the next gift is?”

“Of course it depends!” Cheng Jin looked forward to opening the present for the first time. The gifts that the young master received before were all piles of mountains, but he didn’t have any interest. On the contrary, he disliked the vulgar or undesirable things from others. It was not like now. Even if he just received a bag of rice, he was pleasantly surprised. “This rice is delicious. You can make porridge. Shall we have porridge tomorrow morning?”

“good.”

“Ah, this is a very precious medicinal material. It’s a beautiful ginseng. It should be very expensive. It’s really expensive.” Cheng Jin held the exquisite gift box and looked at the ginseng tree inside, a bit distressed. “But I forgot who sent it.”

“Lieutenant General Zhang Lei.” Lu Tao accurately said the other party’s name. Seeing that Cheng Jin was still a little confused, he added: “The one with the big beard.”

“Oh, I remember him.” Cheng Jin was a little guilty. It was his job to receive guests, but he didn’t do a good job. Thinking of this, he was a little entangled, “The things they sent are very expensive. Isn’t it a bad idea that we didn’t return the gift?”

The admiral said decisively: “It’s okay!”

If Cheng Jin didn’t think of returning gifts at all before, now that he is a little mature, he feels that this kind of behavior is not good. He tilted his head and thought about it. He sorted out all the things at home, but he still didn’t think of anything suitable. In the end, he could only say: “I don’t think it’s very good. I’ll think about what I can give back later. Right.” He began to organize things, bending over in a serious manner. Lu Tao looked at it for a while, then clicked on his own newsletter, found Fei’s contact bar, and sent a few words in his mind-no need to block people who want to visit, anyone who wants to come can come.

After sending it, he turned off the communication casually, looked at the little wife who was still sorting out, and said silently in his heart: “It’s best to remember to send gifts.”

Cheng Jin and the small robot organized everything together, and in the end the beautiful box of purple-black grapes remained. He stared at less than a hundred grapes, a little tangled. Lu Tao said: “If you want to eat it, just eat it, don’t leave for me, I don’t like this taste.”

Cheng Jin’s face was a little red. He thanked him first, and then asked in a low voice, “Can I take some to my dad?” He rubbed his hands nervously, as if ashamed, “He didn’t have tasted it in a long time. I want to give him a taste.”

Lu Tao had no memory of Cheng Jin’s father. In fact, when he was still in the hospital, he thought about asking Ferry to sort out all the information about his young wife for himself, but he gave up in the end.

He wants to dig out everything about his partner by himself. For this “old husband” or “father-in-law”, what he now knows is that he has gone bankrupt and is still in the hospital. He has no idea about his appearance and personality. And now, it seems to be a good time to understand.

Lu Tao said: “Yes. When will you go see him, I will go with you.”

Cheng Jin seemed to be frightened, “You, are going with me?”

“Well, it’s a kind of etiquette to visit sick elders? Besides, the other party is still your father. I feel obligated to see him.”

Cheng Jin still feels flustered. In fact, since they got married, Lu Tao has never met his father and brother. Even after he was promoted, his father and brother took the initiative to invite him to the party, he directly ignored it, which made the father and brother angry. Cheng Jin used to only protect his sweetheart, thinking that what he did was right, although he did it a little bit sadly. Later, he repented before he really understood Lu Tao’s behavior.

He hates his father and brother.

For others, it’s just an old woman who can’t walk. With the development of technology, with the help of self-service wheelchairs, there are basically no obstacles in movement, so I don’t think it’s a big deal. But for Lu Tao, it was his grandmother who depended on each other for life. If her grandmother became like this, the Cheng family couldn’t get rid of the relationship, of course he would have resentment.

And now, the husband who has lost his memory is going to see his father.

Cheng Jin felt guilty and tried to persuade him: “In fact, it doesn’t matter. My father’s condition has stabilized. It’s better to stay at home and rest more. I can go alone.” He laughed and said, “Mr. Ferry lent the new car to me. It’s very convenient for me to go.”

The man stared at him closely, seeming to be indifferent to his persuasion, but he said nonchalantly: “You tried so hard to stop me from going, making me suspect that the person you are going to see is not your father, but your ex-boyfriend.”

Cheng Jin’s face blushed, “It’s not… I don’t have any ex-boyfriends…”

The admiral took advantage of the victory and pursued, “Then let me go too.”

Cheng Jin thought for a while, and felt that Lu Tao should not be so concerned about this matter after he was sober, so he nodded. After obtaining Lu Tao’s consent, he took half of the grapes and another jar of nutrition, and then went out with his husband. Their garage was finally no longer empty. A new car parked there. The color was ice blue, which Cheng Jin liked very much. Although the style was not the latest model, the price was not cheap.

Cheng Jin felt a little more complicated when he saw it.

This car is so in line with my liking, but it is not for myself.

He still doesn’t know who Lu Tao is going to give it to. He entertained several guests today, but he didn’t notice any suspicious characters among them. The Lord Admiral had scandals before, but after careful investigation, it was all rumors. Perhaps Lu Tao didn’t even know the few who were passed on.

After getting in the car, Cheng Jin entered the navigation by voice, and the car began to drive automatically. It was the first time that they actually went to a place, so Cheng Jin’s mood only got confused, and soon he jumped for joy. He even started to introduce the scenery outside the window to his amnestic husband. “Those are small spaceships. Generally they can carry four people. They are similar to cars. They are driven by wind energy. They also have traffic regulations. They can’t stop and drive. If they violate the law, the fine will be very high. Ah, see that building. Isn’t it? It’s the World Trade Center, but it’s not really the World Trade Center. The real World Trade Center is on the Trade Planet, which is the center of the galaxy. I heard that many people do business there. The Empire Planet has restrictions on access. , So this is just a shelf, and there are not many merchants here.”

Lu Tao already knew this knowledge, but he still listened with interest, and even praised: “Little baby knows a lot.”

Cheng Jin flushed, and said shyly: “Actually, it’s not…” After receiving the compliment, he introduced the surrounding buildings more vigorously. When the surrounding environment became more and more green, Cheng Jin said, “We are almost at the hospital.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large building appeared in front of him, with the words “Central Hospital” written on the signboard. Lu Tao said: “The environment looks good.”

“Yes.” Cheng Jin suddenly felt a little stressed. “After all, the price is very expensive.”
