Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

Lu Na sat on the sofa with her phone on the coffee table, screen facing up.

That way, she can see Lu Jingxiu's messages immediately.

It's already 3 PM.

Why hasn't Lu Jingxiu arrived yet? Weren't we supposed to meet his parents today?

She picked up her phone, her thumb hovering over the WeChat icon, feeling she should ask.

But after thinking about it, she put it aside. What if Lu Jingxiu felt she was pressuring him? What if he was busy and found her annoying when he received the message?

just forget it.

She put her phone back on the coffee table, screen up, and continued to sit and wait.

I don't know how much time passed, but the door lock clicked.

Lu Na jumped up from the sofa almost reflexively.

But after standing up, I didn't know what to do, so I just stood there dumbfounded, not knowing where to put my hands.

Lu Jingxiu opened the door and walked in, carrying several bags in his hands. The paper bags were printed with brand logos that she didn't recognize, all in colorful patterns.

He saw her standing in the middle of the living room and smiled: "How did you sleep last night?"

"It's...it's alright," Lu Na replied softly, her gaze falling on the bag in his hand.

"These are for you, skincare and makeup products." Lu Jingxiu walked over and placed the bag on the coffee table.

Lu Na felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but subconsciously shook her head: "...I don't need these things."

"Buy it and use it."

"But I don't know how to use it..."

"You'll learn it in no time." Seeing her hesitation, Lu Jingxiu pushed the bag toward her.

Lu Na lowered her head, looking at the several exquisite paper bags, her fingers twisting together.

She didn't hesitate; instead, she held back her tears.

She was afraid that she would burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth, which would be too embarrassing.

"Have you eaten?" Lu Jingxiu changed the subject abruptly, not noticing her expression.

Lu Na took a deep breath, held back her tears, and looked up: "I've already eaten."

"What did you eat?"

"I cooked two dishes myself..."

"Did you go down and buy it yourself?"

"Um."

Lu Jingxiu glanced at her in surprise.

He thought his younger sister would order takeout or eat out, but he didn't expect her to go downstairs to buy groceries and cook for herself.

There was a few seconds of silence in the living room.

"Take your things inside first," Lu Jingxiu said, pointing to the bag on the coffee table.

"Thank you," Lu Na said softly, bent down to pick up the bag, and walked towards her bedroom.

She didn't know how to react appropriately.

She can't appear too happy. If she's too happy, will Lu Jingxiu think she's materialistic?

But she can't be unhappy, otherwise the other person might think she's ungrateful.

Besides, Lu Jingxiu has been so good to her, how can she repay him? She has nothing, and can't give him anything.

But isn't it perfectly natural for an older brother to buy things for his younger sister?

She didn't know because she had never been a younger sister.

She gently closed the bedroom door, sat on the edge of the bed, and took the items out of the bag one by one.

She held the bottles and jars for a while, then carefully put them down, looking at this one and touching that one, as if afraid of breaking them.

Then she sat on the edge of the bed, holding one of the boxes, her shoulders shaking.

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry.

She rubbed her eyes vigorously with the back of her hand, but the more she wiped, the more tears she shed.

After a few minutes, she took several deep breaths to calm herself down, and composed herself in front of her phone screen. Her eyes were still a little red, but you probably couldn't tell, right?

She went outside and saw Lu Jingxiu sitting on the sofa.

She hesitated for a moment, then sat down on the single sofa next to the sofa, keeping a distance between them.

Lu Jingxiu chuckled, "Why are you standing so far away? Come sit over here."

"Okay." Lu Na obediently responded, stood up and walked to the sofa to sit down, one meter away from it.

Lu Jingxiu organized his thoughts and then told her about Xu Na's situation.

He spoke calmly, without embellishing the story or making any attempt to exonerate Xu Na.

After saying that, he leaned back on the sofa and asked, "Lu Na, what do you think? How do you plan to deal with her?"

Lu Na listened quietly.

She kept her head down, her eyelashes drooping, making it impossible to see her expression.

After a few seconds of silence, she said softly, "I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

"You are the victim, so this is your decision," Lu Jingxiu turned to look at her. "You can do whatever you want. You can also call the police to arrest her. Don't worry, I have no feelings for her."

Lu Na looked up at him, then looked down again.

After a moment, she said softly, "...Since she's already gone, let's just leave it at that."

Lu Jingxiu was taken aback: "Forget it?"

"Mm." Lu Na nodded gently, placing her hands on her knees. "Because hating someone is tiring, and disliking someone is also tiring..."

She hated and loathed too much when she was a child, and in the end, she spent all her energy on hatred and loathing, and almost didn't have the strength to live anymore.

But now she has a brother, parents, and a home.

She didn't want to waste the energy she had finally saved up on hating someone who had already left.

Even if we bring Xu Na back, make her apologize, make her kneel down and beg for forgiveness, and send her to jail, then what?

Will she feel better now? Will those nights she spent crying in her rented room be wiped away?

Will not.

She had hated the unfairness of fate for so many years, and had long since come to terms with it. She no longer wanted to hate, not because she forgave her, but because she no longer wanted to be affected by her.

Let bygones be bygones, and we'll deal with the future later.

She stood up and sat down next to Lu Jingxiu.

Then she reached out and hugged his arm, buried her head in it, pressed her face against his arm, and said in a muffled voice, "Brother, it's okay that she's gone. Please don't go looking for her anymore, okay? I don't want you to worry about her anymore."

Lu Jingxiu felt his sleeve getting wet, cool and seeping in little by little. He sighed silently, said nothing, and took a tissue from the coffee table and handed it to her.

He could tell that the girl was worried about him feeling bad.

She was sensible, cautious, and observant, preferring to wrong herself rather than make things difficult for him.

This kind of younger sister is really heartbreaking.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Na released his arm and looked up.

She glanced at the large, dark water stain on Lu Jingxiu's sleeve, and her face flushed instantly.

What's wrong? Why have I been crying so much these past two days? I used to cry less than twice a year.

"I'm sorry, Lu Jingxiu, let me wipe it for you." She hurriedly grabbed several tissues, changed her address back to him, and went to wipe his sleeve.

"No need, it's alright." Lu Jingxiu smiled and pulled his arm back a little. "You pack your things, I'll take you home."

"Um."

"Oh, by the way, you can just call me brother from now on."

"Okay." Lu Na paused for half a second, her heart racing. She stood up, turned around, and went back to her room to change her clothes.

After a while, she came out wearing a cardigan and jeans, stood at the entrance of the corridor, and looked timidly at Lu Jingxiu, as if waiting for him to give her a score.

Lu Jingxiu glanced at her and shook his head: "Why aren't you wearing a skirt?"

Lu Na blushed, her fingers clutching the hem of her cardigan, a little nervous: "I haven't worn this much...it doesn't feel right."

"I remember buying a light blue stand-up collar dress last night, didn't I?" Lu Jingxiu immediately started giving orders. "Wear that one."

"...Do I really have to wear it?"

"Yes, you look good in a dress." Lu Jingxiu leaned back on the sofa, his tone matter-of-fact.

Lu Na was stunned for a moment.

nice?

She never knew what she had to do with those two words.

She lowered her head, gave a soft reply, and turned back to her room to change into the dress.

A few minutes later, the bedroom door opened.

Lu Na slowly walked out and stood in the living room.

The afternoon sunlight slanted in from the balcony, bathing her in a soft, pale golden glow.

It was a light blue dress with a stand-up collar, and she had buttoned the top button up, revealing a small section of her slender white neck.

The skirt is made of very soft fabric, and the hem falls just to mid-calf, revealing a pair of straight and slender calves.

She had delicate features, not particularly striking, with light eyebrows, large eyes, and light pink lips.

Her hair was loose over her shoulders, the ends were a little frizzy, but it was very black and smooth, which made her neck look even whiter.

She looked like the kind of girl who was cautious about everything, pure and slender.

Lu Jingxiu looked at her, remained silent for two seconds, then stood up from the sofa and smiled.

"Let's go home."
