Chapter 885 - Lethargy

"Soon," Lu Zihao replied while taking a seat on the couch and watching Long Jinjing busying herself in the kitchen.

Grandpa Lu also plopped himself on the other couch. "Bah! You're just like your third brother, always telling me soon, soon, SOON! I asked him and your Little Sister Xiulan when are they going to marry but they only tell me 'soon'! Hmph! Why can't you all just give me an exact date? Is it really that hard? I want to know!"

The corners of Lu Zihao's mouth curved up. He didn't notice that something warm was starting to spread from inside his chest while he was being nagged by Grandpa Lu. His expression also became a little gentler.

As for him saying "soon", he was planning on formally introducing Long Jinjing as his girlfriend to the old man at his sister's wedding with Jin Liwei. He only treated it as part of his agreement with Long Jinjing. She wanted respect as his official girlfriend, so he would introduce her to everyone.

His sister and Jin Liwei were keeping their wedding date a complete secret to everyone except for their close friends, so he couldn't reveal it even to Grandpa Lu. He didn't understand why his sister and her man decided to have a secret wedding, keeping it a surprise to even their guests, but hey, it was their business. If that was what his sister wanted, then she should have the wedding of her dreams.

Grandpa Lu lowered the volume of his booming voice, leaned forward, and asked in a whisper, "By the way, Haohao my boy. Jinjing and I were having a fun time chatting with each other earlier and I briefly mentioned your past girlfriends. I shouldn't have done that but the words were already out of my mouth before I realized what I said. Anyway, I noticed that the girl had this weird expression. She looked surprised but also suspicious. But you know the girl, very polite and kind. She tried hiding her true thoughts behind a smile. But this old man has lived long enough to recognize that kind of expression."

Lu Zihao scowled upon learning that the old man had let it slip that his grandson had girlfriends before. A soft snicker sounded in his head which made him more irritated. This was the first time since he left Dragon Palace Home #10 that he sensed the remnant's presence again.

Both he and the remnant suffered some backlash when the remnant failed to disconnect properly from their body during their talk with Jin Liwei. The remnant didn't surface at all afterwards which gave him a little hope that it finally disappeared.

As for him, he became a bit lethargic after that alarming episode. In fact, he still hadn't regained his usual energy even until now. It was a big pain in the ass because he had a lot of work to do, especially since he wanted to test Bacon's limits so that he could give his AI nephew more specialized tasks. His sister told him that Bacon had an extremely powerful self-learning function and that the cat AI would only improve by leaps and bounds in the future. However, Jin Liwei made him aware that his sister had programmed some limitations on Bacon, giving the cat AI the "right" to refuse any "inappropriate" tasks.

Aside from this, his lethargy was also affecting his sex life with Long Jinjing to some degree. Their 30-day relationship would be coming to an end a few days after his sister's wedding. Time was extremely limited. He wanted to fuck Long Jinjing as often as he could but was unable to do so because of his lethargy. He hoped that his usual energy would return soon.

His thoughts were interrupted when Grandpa Lu continued asking him in a whisper, "My boy, did you not tell Jinjing my girl that you've had girlfriends before her? I want to know!"

Lu Zihao wanted to strang
