After the orange floral banquet, the content of the banquet made headlines in newspapers and portal websites the next day, and all the journalists selected the first photo of Cheng Jin.
The next day, the content of the orange floral banquet made headlines in newspapers and online websites, and all of the journalists chose asthe irvery first photo was of Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin was taken aback when he saw the photo.
He happened to be knitting socks at the time the shot was taken. The camera captured his total focus and commitment. His attire was obviously incompatible with the banquet environment, but for some reason, it looked very special..
Lu Tao’s public image was not just strong and attractive, but also cold and unsociable. They didn’t anticipate him to smile so sweetly and act so personally when approaching his spouse.
It’s as if he was a different person!
However, the banquet revealed his partner’s identity. The fact that the Cheng family’s young master, who was noted for his arrogance, was actually his partner startled most people, and the Cheng family’s bankruptcy was brought up again by the public, and it was hotly discussed on the Internet for days.
Cheng Jin had not anticipated the outcome. This year, it wasn’t Qi Mianmian’s starry sky dress or Lian Wu’s sparkling gown that drew headlines, but his maid attire. He also wouldn’t have guessed that many individuals would dress up as maids to gain attention at the upcoming orange blossom dinner.
Cheng Jin was no longer the youthful maestro who reveled in the adulation he received. His photographs have gone viral. The only thing that troubled him was the thought of his brother and father seeing him, especially his brother. He didn’t know what his gege would think if he saw the headlines. But Cheng Jin never dared to ask because he was too shy.
What he really wanted to do now was use the precious Sonne’s Bakery voucher and bring his husband to sample it with him.
There were several dessert stores on the Imperial Planet, but Sonne’s Bakery was without a doubt the most successful. It not only existed on the Imperial Planet, but also on every other planet. It would generate things swiftly, with new products virtually every week, and it not only tasted excellent, but it also looked good, making it suitable for putting on personal blog pages. It also has a unique feature, which is its store itself.
Sonne’s Bakery on the Imperial Planet was constructed to float in midair. From a distance, it appeared to be a hot air balloon floating in the sky. It was especially captivating and stunning. The decorative hues were vibrant, and when the sun shone, those who saw it felt their spirits raise.

“It’s a keychain.” Cheng Jin opened the small gift box and saw the contents inside. His eyes lit up. “It’s a planet-shaped keychain, so pretty!” It was obviously just a complimentary gift, but it was finely crafted. It’s a small round ball and if zoomed in closely, the mountains, rivers, and city buildings inside could be seen.
Lu Tao glanced at it and said. “It’s a figure of Planet 12.”
“Planet 12?” Cheng Jin took a closer look, but he couldn’t tell. “How can you tell?”
“It has the biggest lake in the world, and the big cities are almost built on the water. Look closely.”
Cheng Jin almost rubbed his eyelashes on the planet given how close his face was. After seeing it clearly, he said excitedly, “It’s true! Wah, it’s so beautiful. The water’s flowing!” Cheng Jin was surprised and delighted. “This is also great. It’s just a complimentary gift, but it’s done so finely.”
“There’s a whole set of this giveaway, 72 in total.” Suddenly, a voice came in. Cheng Jin raised his head and saw the Rigel brothers standing at their table. Eureka was the one who talked, and Asher waved to them with a smile.
Eureka took a seat beside them at the table. “To explain, I have 70 planet keychains and just two are still missing.” Eureka was beaming with pride. He cast a peek at Cheng Jin’s keychain. “I have nine of those.”
Cheng Jin was a little taken aback. “What brings you guys here?”
Asher answered with a smile, “My brother wanted to come over for dessert, so I joined him. What a happy coincidence! We happened to run into you.”
Cheng Jin burst out laughing. “It is, in fact, a coincidence.” He continued, “What would you want to eat? Let me invite you to join us.” The dessert voucher in his hand was limited. He could only serve two people dessert once a day. If he wanted more, he would have to pay more money to obtain them.
Asher smiled and said, “Our order has already been placed. It will arrive later.” He also grinned cheerfully at Lu Tao. “Do you mind if we share a table, old man? Did we ruin your date?”
Cheng Jin’s face flushed instantly, although Lu Tao’s face was composed. “Your presence is quite bothersome, but it’s all right.” He turned to face Cheng Jin. “After all, we are legal partners, so we could still spend a considerable amount of time together.”
Cheng Jin was constantly embarrassed by his remarks, so he swiftly changed the subject. “What are the two planets that you haven’t gathered yet, Eureka?”
Eureka said, “The Imperial planet, which is the ‘autocrat kind,’ is one example. The figure is quite low. They claim that there are only 72 in the world.”
“Isn’t that difficult to obtain?” Cheng Jin asked.
Eureka exuded confidence “Every day, I come here to eat. I’m absolutely going to get it!” As he spoke, he clenched his massive hand. Cheng Jin chuckled a little and seemed concerned. “Will eating sweets every day cause any problems with your body?”
“Oh, don’t be worried.” Asher laughed. “His body appears to be quite capable of digesting sugar. He’s been eating this way for the past 22 years and has had no problems.”
“22 years?” He was taken aback and immediately thought of another question. “How old is Eureka?”
“23 years old, four years younger than me,” Asher remarked with a smile.
Cheng Jin stared in awe at the rough huge man in front of him, his jaw almost dropping. “Eureka… is younger than me?”
Eureka’s expression looked as if it was a matter of course. “Yeah.” His eyes trained at the dessert in front of Cheng Jin again. “Xiao Cheng Jin, can you…give me a bite of yours later? Just one bite, I’ll dig it with a clean spoon later.”
Seeing that the other party’s saliva was about to flow down, Cheng Jin quickly said, “Of course.” He also had lingering fears as he directed his questions towards Asher. “So it’s actually harmful to eat too much sugar, right?”
Asher laughed, “You mean my didi looks old?”
Of course ah! Eureka doesn’t look like a twenty three year old!
But he should have thought of it a long time ago, because he had heard Eureka call Yan Qi ”cousin”.Yan Qi and him were the same generation, and he was only half a year older thanYan Qi, so in retrospect, Eureka’s age should be younger than him.
Eureka obviously didn’t care about age. He was only staring at Cheng Jin’s cake and gulping. “Another planet I haven’t collected is Planet 6.”
Cheng Jin was originally unconcerned. But after hearing the words “Planet 6”, he became serious. He remembered that his brother said he was going to take him away, and that their future destination was Planet 6. Cheng Jin’s heart was in a mess, but he quickly pretended to be calm and asked, “Why? Is Planet 6 hard to find?”
Eureka was a little upset. “It’s not rare. Some people come to buy desserts and they can get it by chance, but I just can’t come across it. I have definitely come every day since I got this set…”
Cheng Jin pretended to ask unintentionally, “What is Planet 6 like?”
“A very ordinary planet.” The person who answered his question was Lu Tao. “Their economy ranks second to none of all planets, and the climate has four distinct seasons. If there is any unique characteristic, it is that their water is colder yet not frozen, so the fish produced is more delicious.”
“Ah?” Cheng Jin was a little surprised, “Husband, you even know this? Why is the water colder?”
Lu Tao said, “There is an extinct volcano there. The volcano has sealed off the heat, and because it still exists, no matter how cold the weather is, the water flowing in the river will not freeze.”
Cheng Jin nodded blankly, while the ever-smiling Asher asked, “Has Xiao Jin ever been to another planet?”
“I’ve never been.” Cheng Jin was born on the Imperial Planet, and was nurtured by the idea that “The Imperial Planet is the best planet in the world” since childhood, so he had a natural prejudice against other planets.
Asher rubbed his chin. “How come I remember that you applied to join the army?”
“I didn’t go to other planets that time, because the landing site was directly at the operating base.” Cheng Jin felt a little sad when he thought of this. “And returned after a short stay.” His husband at the time may not have known that he was actually a little timid, and that he was a little afraid of leaving the Imperial Planet. In fact, when he was able to set out at that time, he mustered up courage. It was love that overcame his fear.
They couldn’t continue the topic because the dessert that Asher ordered was finally served.
Cheng Jin’s eyes were full of shock when he saw at least a four-pound cake in front of Eureka, and he asked almost impolitely, “Y-You eat this much alone?”
Eureka was generous. “Would you like to try some?”
Cheng Jin hurriedly shook his head, so Eureka didn’t bother being polite. He dug out a large spoonful of other people’s cakes and placed them on top of his own, before tasting it with satisfaction.
He had this kind of magic when he ate. It made people feel that the food was particularly delicious. Cheng Jin had completely given up the idea of dating with his husband today, and began to relax and chat with Eureka.
Eureka was undoubtedly a very good friend. Although he had no sense of humour, he was very honest, and he was talkative and knew a lot of things. After seeing that Cheng Jin seemed to be interested in the affairs of foreign planets, he began to talk about his travel experience.
Before they knew it, the other two men on the table had disappeared.
The bakery even made the bathroom look very cute. All the faucets were cartoon-shaped. Lu Tao pressed the sink down, and warm water flowed out. He washed his hands while looking at the other person in the mirror.
Asher was also washing his hands slowly, with a light smile on his face. His gentleness made him look like the title “God of War” wasn’t associated with him. He seemed to notice that his old partner was staring at him, but he slowly washed his hands before raising his eyelids and smiling. “What’s the matter, Lord General?”
He made another little joke. “Am I good-looking? If you keep staring at me like this, it will make me misunderstand.”
Lu Tao did not smile, and his face was even expressionless. After a while, he asked in a deep voice, “Why are you monitoring me?”
Thanks for the chapter ♥️♥️
Oh nooo im scared to whats he gonna say… 😭
Yeah that doesn’t sound good 😳
Thank You for the new chapter (´,,•ω•,,)♡
Gosh those moments of their history sting and yet they make the lovey parts so much sweeter. What’s wrong with me lol
Make that us, +1
This story alone has probably made my tear sockets dry up into a desert and simultaneously stuffed my stomach full of 100% glucose-infused dog food more than once ba 😂
Haha well said!
Thanks for the update 🤣❤️
thanks for the chapter!
obrigado pelo capitulo
Na minha cabeça, tudo não vai emboraIn my head this is all just a setup by the General, he remembers but pretends not hahahahah
Espero que não dê nada muito errado.
Oooh.. I suspected as much that a little prejudice was built up. It’s too much in a futuristic technologically advanced world that only one planet was magnificent and the others all just ‘less’ or ‘dangerous’.
Well it was kinda obvious cause Asher was popping out of nowhere each time lol it’s not that I hate him tho
So planet 6 is like the normal Earth I guess? Because this Imperial Planet does look luxirious, but very, very “empty” in my head for some reason? And a small world idk
