Chapter 120: This Unremarkable Girl

No matter how many dresses Ye Xixi picked for Lu Jingtang's birthday banquet, none seemed to satisfy her. After changing into over a dozen outfits a day, Lu Jingtang now dreaded the mere mention of "changing clothes."

When she grew too tired, she would hide in the dog bed to rest. David and Panda would cleverly shield her with their bodies, and only when her pursuers had left would she sneak out for some fresh air.

Chen Ma searched everywhere but failed to notice her hiding in the dog bed, so she moved on to look elsewhere.

As soon as Lu Jingtang saw Chen Ma leave, she nudged David's hindquarters and was about to crawl out when a pair of long legs suddenly appeared before her. Following the straight line of the trousers upward, she saw Fu Nanyu's strikingly handsome face.

Fu Nanyu looked down at her, a glint of amusement in his eyes. He simply watched, making no move to help her up.

Lu Jingtang's round, wide eyes held a hint of complaint, her cheeks puffed out. "Please move aside."

Fu Nanyu crossed his arms. "Who are you asking?"

Lu Jingtang unceremoniously used his thigh for support to stand up, then said with an innocent expression, "I don't know. May I ask who you are?"

"Don't know me?" Fu Nanyu reached out, cupped the nape of her neck, and leaned in to kiss her.

His tongue parted her lips, intertwining with hers, savoring her full lips again and again before finally biting her lower lip in retaliation.

Lu Jingtang's lips turned bright red. She protested unhappily, "What are you doing? I don't know you. You can't kiss me."

Fu Nanyu said calmly, " 'Sexual harassment.' Besides, you didn't refuse when I kissed you. You obligingly met my tongue."

Lu Jingtang's cheeks flushed slightly. It was true—his good looks had clouded her judgment, making all her comebacks feel weak. So annoying!

She stomped away a few steps but then stopped, a sly glint flashing in her eyes.

As Fu Nanyu looked at her curiously, he saw her standing at the doorway, wiping her mouth several times with her pajama sleeve, making a show of utter disgust.

He raised an eyebrow and said coolly, "What are you doing?"

Lu Jingtang pouted her lips, putting on a stern face as she attempted to retaliate. "Hmph, nothing special anyway."

This amused Fu Nanyu. In a few swift strides, he caught her, pinned her to the couch, and gave her a passionate French kiss. After kissing her, he forced her to wipe her mouth, only to kiss her again immediately.

Over and over, Lu Jingtang lay breathless on the sofa, trying to escape by pulling herself up using the backrest. But the moment she moved, he pinned her hands above her head, interlocking their fingers.

Fu Nanyu's kisses fell like sparks on her cheeks, earlobes, neck, and chest—his breath searing and relentless, leaving no room between them.

"I was wrong… I'm sorry…"

Fu Nanyu wasn’t buying it. Breathing heavily, he touched her face and murmured provocatively, "You said it wasn’t that great. Shouldn’t I practice more?"

"I lied… It was really nice…" Tears welled in Lu Jingtang’s eyes as she brushed her lips against his pleadingly. "Please, please stop."

Fu Nanyu leaned over her, gently pressing the back of his hand against her face, and chuckled softly. "Be good. Don’t be provocative."

In the end, it was Fu Nanyu who picked Lu Jingtang’s evening gown. He immediately rejected almost 90% of the delivered dresses, leaving only a few for her to try on.

At first, Ye Xixi was skeptical of her eldest son’s taste—after all, how could a man understand women’s fashion?

But to her surprise, every dress Fu Nanyu selected fit perfectly—dresses Ye Xixi had initially dismissed as too simple or plain.

In Fu Nanyu’s eyes, Lu Jingtang herself was already vibrant and radiant, needing no extravagant embellishments.

All of Fu Nanyu’s choices were kept, except for one dress with a slit up to the thigh. Though not chosen for the banquet, it was still set aside.

It was a red gown, shimmering with gold thread, with pleats cascading down to the waist and a slit on one side rising to the thigh, adorned with a black bow. It wasn’t overly revealing, and it looked stunning on her.

The dress accentuated her waist and hips beautifully. Lu Jingtang wasn’t overly thin—her chest was curvaceous, and the dress hugged her figure, highlighting her enticing curves.

The maids couldn’t stop praising her, and even Chen Ma was mesmerized. Lu Jingtang turned to the side, touching her waist, almost drooling at her reflection.

She turned to Fu Nanyu, who was staring intently at her, and asked proudly, "Do I look good?"

"Very good." Fu Nanyu’s dark eyes scanned her like a fierce predator inspecting its prey. After admiring her from head to toe, he nodded in satisfaction. "Keep it."

Lu Jingtang had been worried he would find it too revealing, but his immediate approval reassured her. She'd trained him well—her boyfriend was the most open-minded and respectful in the world.

Little did she know the purpose of this dress until their wedding night. Exhausted and barely conscious, Lu Jingtang drowsily opened her eyes to see Fu Nanyu pulling out the red dress with a predatory gleam in his eyes, helping her into it.

Only then did she realize—he’d been saving it this whole time.

When Fu Shengzhou returned for dinner and heard Ye Xixi mention the dress selection, he waved his hand and said, "You should’ve asked me for something as important as picking a dress! I’ve been voted Best Fashion Male God four years in a row at my school."

Fu Nanyu glanced at him and said flatly, "With that grayish-purple hair of yours?"

Offended by the doubt in his tone, Fu Shengzhou retorted, "Big brother, are you looking down on me?"

Fu Nanyu readily admitted his disdain. "Yes."

Fu Shengzhou flared up in anger—but only for a moment. He lifted his chin and struck a pose.

Seeing this, Lu Jingtang hurriedly swallowed the rice in her mouth, and the two sang in unison:

"A humble young lady, I,

Have not won the young master’s favor,

Having disturbed you so long,

I beg your forgiveness, sir."

Fu Shengzhou’s over-the-top performance nearly choked his father. Fu Xiaqing coughed violently several times, while Ye Xixi laughed and poured him water.

Fu Nanyu suddenly lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks. "…"
