    Chapter 86: Can't Figure This Thing Out

    Seeing her stunned, Fu Nanyu chuckled, reaching out to tap her head lightly. "Silly, I was just kidding."

    The house wasn't just home to family; numerous servants were also present. If someone accidentally saw him emerging from Lu Jingtang's room and word got out, it was easy to imagine what outsiders would think of her. He knew his boundaries.

    Lu Jingtang understood this too, letting out a goofy laugh. After a quick glance to ensure no one was around, she swiftly pecked a kiss on the inside of his wrist. "Big brother, I like you."

    It was merely a simple touch of lips against skin, yet it felt more profound than a deep, lingering kiss. A tingling current flowed from his fingertips to his heart, making his chest throb. Fu Nanyu almost lost control, nearly pinning her against the wall for another kiss.

    Hearing footsteps on the stairs, the two had no choice but to retreat to their respective rooms.

    For the first time, Fu Nanyu found his room somewhat too spacious. The hotel suite in Hong Kong had been larger, but it was filled with Lu Jingtang's laughter while watching TV, making his heart feel full regardless.

    After returning from Hong Kong, Lu Jingtang dutifully resumed her office job, spending the morning slacking off, then heading to the top floor for lunch and a nap, blissfully passing the entire day.

    On the weekend, Fu Shengzhou returned home. During family dinner, David lay on the floor, wagging his tail listlessly, while Panda suddenly waddled over, and the two silly dogs began to mouth each other.

    Ye Xixi glanced over. "I don't know what's gotten into them these past couple of days; they keep mouthing each other."

    Fu Shengzhou, a step too slow, watched as Lu Jingtang speared the last chicken wing. He pouted. "I know. They're engaging in pair-bonding. In the animal kingdom, mouthing each other signifies friendship and closeness, and sometimes it can even mean kissing."

    Ye Xixi exclaimed in surprise, "But they're both female! What's there to kiss about? They must be in heat."

    As soon as Ye Xixi uttered this, Lu Jingtang noticed Fu Ting sitting even straighter. He instinctively glanced at Lu Jingtang, who had once witnessed him kissing Lian Dingtian, and they exchanged a look of mutual awkwardness and guilt.

    Chen Ma came to inspect and confirmed they were indeed in heat. She quickly had someone take them out to be cleaned up and instructed the kitchen to prepare some nourishing broth for the dogs.

    Lu Jingtang quietly averted her gaze, looking elsewhere, only to see Fu Nanyu thoughtfully observing the silly dogs mouthing each other. Sensing her stare, he looked up, a knowing smile in his eyes, and subtly tilted his chin toward the dogs.

    Lu Jingtang, who was drinking water, instantly understood his meaning and choked, coughing violently. "Cough, cough…"

    Ye Xixi patted her back. "Why did you choke? Are you alright?"

    "I'm fine, I'm fine."

    Panda and David had probably witnessed her and Fu Nanyu secretly kissing at home several times and had imitated them, even to the point of induced heat.

    Lu Jingtang's cheeks flushed suspiciously red. She looked up and saw Fu Nanyu smirking at her, silently mouthing the words: "What a mess we've made."

    Lu Jingtang: "…"

    Fu Shengzhou noticed the two exchanging glances and looked thoughtfully at Fu Nanyu, then at Lu Jingtang.

    Fu Xiaqing keenly sensed the unusual atmosphere. The head of the household seized the opportune moment to ask, "What are you all acting out in this silent play? What are you looking at?"

    No one was singled out, so they all remained silent, feigning ignorance.

    Caw, caw—a few crows flew by…

    As no one spoke, Fu Xiaqing tapped the table, attempting to reassert his authority as head of the household, startling Ye Xixi. She shot him a glare. "You scared me! Why bother them? Just eat properly—no tapping the table."

    With his wife's command, Fu Xiaqing dared not push further, but he firmly believed there were secrets in this household—more than one.

    Lu Jingtang guiltily shrunk back. She felt this family had too much explosive material: the eldest involved with his adopted sister, the second son involved with a man, the family dogs engaged in pair-bonding, and the youngest into abstract antics.

    She hoped Fu Xiaqing and Ye Xixi could handle it.

    As Lu Jingtang's frequency of napping on the top floor increased, the CEO's lounge gradually became filled with her belongings. The bed was piled with Lulu Pigs and Pikabala plush toys, a quirky, ugly-cute frog alarm clock appeared on the bedside table, and a white cloud-shaped rug was spread on the floor.

    During naptime, as soon as Fu Nanyu entered, he would push Lu Jingtang down into the pillows and kiss her, their tongues tangling—sometimes fiercely, sometimes gently and carefully.

    His warm, moist breath trailed from her lips down to her collarbone. One hand slipped under her clothes, kneading the soft flesh at her waist again and again. Lu Jingtang wasn't purely slim; she had a slight belly, soft as a cloud to the touch.

    Lu Jingtang was kissed into a daze, her eyes glistening. Sensing his hand nearing forbidden territory, she shuddered as if electrified.

    Her hand uncontrollably grabbed at something on the bed—she'd just caught hold of Lulu Pig's leg when he firmly pulled her hand back.

    Fu Nanyu's voice was low and husky as he gazed down, admiring her helplessness and intoxication. His eyes vividly expressed a man's overwhelming possessiveness.

    Her eyelashes fluttered. She called out softly, "Brother…"

    Fu Nanyu kissed her again, his tongue forcefully parting her lips, dominating and invading.

    He hadn't been able to properly kiss her for two or three days. He'd been busy with meetings at noon, and at home, he could never catch Lu Jingtang alone. He missed her terribly.

    He buried his face in her neck, scattering kisses, his hand already on the clasp of her bra. Breathing heavily, his eyes slightly red, he coaxed her in a deep, captivating voice, "Can I take a look?"

    Lu Jingtang didn't dare meet his eyes, burying her face in his shoulder, trembling lightly. "Brother, I'm scared."

    Fu Nanyu gently kissed her cheek. "Don't be scared. I just want to look."

    Only after she nodded did Fu Nanyu's hand behind her back begin to move. But ten seconds passed, then another ten—the clasp hadn't loosened at all.

    Fu Nanyu froze. He realized a problem: he didn't know how to undo this thing.

    Lu Jingtang's intimate apparel was specially designed and custom-made by Ye Xixi. The clasp was very different from ordinary bras—it wouldn't dig into the skin or easily come undone.
