Chapter 70 Kidney Problems

Chapter 70: My Kidneys Can't Take It Anymore

Lu Jingtang's pupils abruptly dilated, and she felt utterly devastated. Was she some kind of pervert? Just from smelling Fu Nanyu's scent, she ended up having an erotic dream in his bed.

Seeing that she wasn't speaking, Fu Nanyu grew a little concerned. Though he had already stepped out of the lounge, he took a step back inside, his face still turned away. His voice was low, as if afraid of startling her. "Hmm, what's wrong?"

Afraid that he might come further in and notice something, Lu Jingtang quickly hugged the blanket and said, "Big Brother, I'm fine. I'm just a bit disoriented from sleep. I'll be okay in a moment."

"Mm." Fu Nanyu stood silently by the lounge door for a moment before finally turning and walking away.

Lu Jingtang lingered in the lounge for a long time, mentally preparing herself before finally stepping out.

What she didn't expect was that there were other people in the office. Several department heads were reporting to Fu Nanyu, and upon hearing the noise, they all looked up.

Fu Nanyu also glanced over. Lu Jingtang froze, her eyes wide as she stared at everyone in the office.

Seeing the meaningful expressions on everyone's faces, Lu Jingtang's mind raced, and she quickly raised her voice to control the situation. "President Fu, I found your cufflinks for you. They were stuck in the gap of the bedside table. I've already put them back in place."

So she was just looking for cufflinks. The others’ expressions shifted, having initially thought there was something going on between President Fu and Miss Lu...

Lu Jingtang’s voice echoed faintly in the spacious office. Her face flushed bright red, and she didn’t dare lift her head to meet anyone’s gaze.

"Alright, you can go back to work now." Fu Nanyu barely suppressed the corners of his lips from quirking upward and dismissed her, sounding almost merciful.

Lu Jingtang let out a sigh of relief and hurried away. The bed in Fu Nanyu’s lounge really wasn’t meant for sleeping. Just one nap, and she’d had an erotic dream and been caught coming out of his lounge. It was seriously jinxed.

At that moment, she still firmly believed it was the bed’s fault. But from that day on, she found herself having erotic dreams almost every day.

The subject of her dreams was always that mysterious man wearing a bracelet, whose face she could never clearly see. Every time she was about to get a clear look at the bracelet, she would abruptly wake up.

The locations of her dreams, however, varied randomly—sometimes her own room, sometimes the study, the garden, the kitchen... The most outrageous was when it took place in Fu Nanyu’s room.

She had only been in Fu Nanyu’s room once. How... how could this happen?

Was she really some kind of naturally promiscuous person?

Based on the content of her dreams, the bracelet-wearing man seemed to be very domineering. Every time, he kissed her until her legs went weak and trembled. She had taken the initiative a couple of times, but each time, he would quickly regain control.

Having an occasional erotic dream might be a way to relieve stress, but having them every day? Her kidneys really couldn’t take it!

But she couldn’t just stop sleeping. Lu Jingtang felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

Fu Shengzhou was back on break, and Fu Ting was also home. It was rare for the whole family to gather for dinner.

Ye Xixi noticed she seemed listless and placed a piece of osmanthus lotus root in her bowl. "Youyou, why have you been so down lately? Are you sick? Should we call Dr. Lin to check on you?"

Hearing this, Fu Nanyu, who was sitting directly across from her, also glanced over.

Lu Jingtang’s heart tightened, and she quickly said, "No, no, I’m fine. There’s no need to call Dr. Lin." How would she explain it if Dr. Lin came? Tell him she was having so many erotic dreams that her kidneys were failing?

Ye Xixi repeatedly confirmed that she really wasn’t sick before finally giving up on calling the doctor.

Lu Jingtang let out a sigh of relief. That was close—she almost had to leave Earth overnight.

Since all the erotic dream scenarios took home, with the only exception being Fu Nanyu’s lounge, Lu Jingtang couldn’t help but suspect that the bracelet-wearing man was one of the three Fu brothers.

This suspicion made her almost too afraid to look her family members in the eye these past few days. Even around Fu Nanyu, she acted evasive and avoided speaking too much.

But Fu Nanyu was the male lead! He would eventually fall for the female protagonist—how could he possibly do such things with her? And Fu Ting liked men, so it definitely couldn’t be him. That left only... Fu Shengzhou!!!

She instinctively glanced at Fu Shengzhou, carefully comparing his physique and demeanor to the bracelet-wearing man. They didn’t seem to match—Fu Shengzhou was too flamboyant.

But if it wasn’t Fu Shengzhou, then who could it be?

Lu Jingtang looked up and accidentally met Fu Nanyu’s gaze. She froze for a moment, then immediately averted her eyes uncomfortably.

Fu Nanyu’s expression darkened slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.

After dinner, Lu Jingtang found an excuse to retreat to her room. Her mind was in chaos, with a faint clue guiding her forward, but she was too scared to follow it and could only escape for the time being.

She wondered if there was any way she could leave home for a few days. If these erotic dreams continued, she would surely become the first woman in China to die of kidney failure from having too many erotic dreams.

This... was even more absurd than forgetting to factory reset your phone before you died.

Her phone chimed. She dug it out from under the blankets and saw a message from Ji Ruyan. Ji Ruyan said she was going to participate in a variety show that required bringing a friend, and asked if Lu Jingtang wanted to join.

The key point was that her uncle was also going. Jiang Cheng was accompanying his friend, the well-known producer Chen Xun.

Ji Ruyan figured that with Lu Jingtang there, she could use her as leverage—Jiang Cheng wouldn’t be able to avoid her.

This was a godsend. As long as she didn’t have to stay at home, she’d even consider shoveling manure.

She immediately replied that she would go.

"Ji: So decisive? Don’t you need to ask Fu Nanyu first?"

Lu Jingtang instantly deflated. Oh right, given her current reputation tied to the Fu family, she couldn’t just appear on screen without permission.

"Lu: I’ll go ask."

She slipped on her slippers and pattered out of her room, only to bump straight into a firm chest the moment she opened the door. An arm wrapped around her waist, lifting her effortlessly with one hand until she was standing on her tiptoes. Her slippers clattered to the floor. Under her palm, she could feel a racing heartbeat. Her vision blurred, and she looked pitiful and helpless.

Fu Nanyu’s eyes were like ink-stained night skies, dotted with sparkling stars. He looked down at Lu Jingtang, his voice deep and magnetic. "Lu Jingtang, why are you running?"
