Chapter 10: My Eldest Brother is a CEO

【Oh? The new plot has been revised? Tell me about it.】

【One week later, at the Recognition Banquet, she learns of the engagement between the Sheng and Luo families and declares she will snatch the heroine's fiancé, Sheng Yanqi, inciting the Luo family's dissatisfaction, while the heroine triggers the plot of interacting with the male lead.】

【Oh? So there's no plot before the Recognition Banquet?】

【Yes, after all, this is a novel from the heroine's perspective, and plotlines unrelated to the heroine are automatically skipped.】

【Fine! Then I'll be off the clock and acting on my own for these next few days.】

Just at this moment.

Eldest brother Luo Xichuan also drove the car over. He stopped the vehicle, quickly stepped out, and very gentlemanly and considerately opened the car door for Luo Xixi, saying, "Xixi, get in."

"Mm!"

After Luo Xixi got in, Luo Xichuan closed the door, then sat in as well, and helped Luo Xixi fasten her seatbelt. The entire sequence of movements was smooth and flowing, natural and not the least bit forced.

Since Luo Xixi had gained consciousness, this was the first time she had been cared for with such meticulous attention, and she couldn't help but take a few extra looks at Luo Xichuan.

"Hm? What is it?"

Sensing his younger sister's intense gaze, Luo Xichuan turned his head to look at her.

"..."

Luo Xixi blinked her eyes again.

In the past, she had always been treated like a tool; no one had ever treated her as a human being. After finally seeing through everything, Luo Xixi made a clean break with the past, intending to live a life of her own from then on, only to be hit and killed by a large truck.

Having spent 20 years in a muddle without ever feeling anyone's genuine sincerity, now that she was suddenly being cared for and looked after by an NPC in this story, Luo Xixi felt somewhat moved.

It would be quite nice if there really were such a brother who cared for her.

But it was a pity that they were destined to be Cannon Fodder to set off the heroine. The person before her might be genuinely caring for her now, but later, he would surely follow the plot settings, loathing her and wishing she were dead.

Just like third brother Luo Xinian; she hadn't done anything, yet he suddenly hated her to the bone, his loathing maxed out.

Luo Xixi had fought enough in her past life and knew that no matter how hard one tried for things that didn't belong to them, it was all in vain, so she didn't want to struggle or resist anymore; she would just live in the moment.

When the other party was good to her, she would enjoy it with peace of mind.

When they loathed her in the future, she would also calmly and readily accept that ending.

"It's nothing."

Luo Xixi shook her head and said obediently, "I just think Eldest Brother is so nice. I've never been treated so considerately before, so I find it quite novel (⊙v⊙)."

Hearing Luo Xixi's words, Luo Xichuan felt inexplicably sad.

She felt it was considerate just because he fastened her seatbelt?

But they had always treated Shiqing like this because Shiqing was their younger sister, so their whole family pampered her like the apple of their eye, wanting to give her the best of everything.

Yet while they were doing these things for Shiqing, Xixi didn't know where she was suffering.

And after Xixi returned, their parents hadn't even prepared a room for her in advance, and she had been pushed down the stairs by her own biological brother early on. Just thinking about these things made Luo Xichuan feel incredibly aggrieved for his sister.

They really owed Xixi too much.

From now on, they must make up for it all, one by one.

【Ding—Host, Luo Xichuan's Favorability Value toward you has increased by 5 points; current Favorability Value is 20 points.】

The Baby System came online to remind her.

It went up again?

Oh my...

Luo Xixi secretly peeked at Luo Xichuan. At this moment, his face was calm and ripple-free; from such a face, one absolutely could not see the turbulent waves in his heart!

If she weren't afraid of the Baby System getting ruffled, Luo Xixi would have wanted to ask if her Tong'er was malfunctioning again.

Luo Xichuan brought Luo Xixi to the mall.

As for daily necessities, Luo Xichuan had his assistant take care of them; he mainly brought Luo Xixi to buy clothes and jewelry.

"Welcome, President Luo, please come this way."

Upon learning that Luo Xichuan had arrived, the manager immediately greeted them with a smile and personally escorted the two to a VIP room.

Before long.

A girl with a figure similar to Luo Xixi's was trying on different clothes and displaying them in front of Luo Xixi. Luo Xixi knew this was a fitting model, but it still felt a bit subtle watching it.

Because she, too, had once tried on various clothes like this, displaying them for another girl.

【Luo Xixi, you will always be Susu's shadow; get your identity straight.】

Thinking of some unpleasant past events, Luo Xixi began to zone out, not paying any attention to the fitting model's diligent display.

"Xixi, what do you think?"

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Xichuan's voice sounded in her ear.

Luo Xixi immediately snapped back to reality. Seeing her eldest brother looking at her for an answer, Luo Xixi felt a bit awkward. She had just been zoning out and hadn't paid any attention to how the clothes the model was wearing looked, so she could only laugh dryly and prevaricate, "I think they all look quite good. I can't choose, so why don't you help me pick, Eldest Brother?"

"Alright."

Luo Xichuan did not decline and said to the manager in a light, breezy tone, "Wrap up all the clothes from just now."

The manager beamed instantly: "Very well, President Luo~"

Luo Xixi: "????"

"Um, Eldest Brother, just picking one or two is fine; there's no need to buy them all," Luo Xixi hurriedly tried to stop him.

【Damn it, Eldest Brother really is a CEO archetype! But he's being so good to me now; if he spoils me into a habit and we become enemies later, how miserable will I be? I can't let him do whatever he wants!】

?

Luo Xichuan was puzzled. Why would Xixi think they would become enemies in the future?

Could it be that the incident with the third brother had left her with a shadow?

Seeing his sister looking so nervous, Luo Xichuan felt even more heartache. He said in a soft voice, "You are now the daughter of the Luo Family, so your food, clothing, and expenses naturally must be elevated. It's fine, Xixi; everyone is treated equally, and there is no special treatment for you. You don't need to be reserved, and besides, there is no reason for me to take back what I have said."

Seeing Luo Xichuan's firm attitude, Luo Xixi muttered to herself, Eldest Brother really is a CEO archetype!

"Fine."

She compromised and agreed, while constantly giving herself mental hints not to be self-indulgent; he was only afraid that if she dressed poorly, she would lose face for the Luo Family, so she must absolutely not harbor any fantasies about this.

After buying clothes and jewelry, Luo Xichuan saw that it was almost time for a meal, so he took Luo Xixi to a hotel to eat.

The two had just entered when Luo Xichuan was called out to by someone.

"Yo! Isn't this Xichuan?"

Luo Xixi followed the sound and looked over, only to see a handsome man dressed in a flashy way walking toward them.

At this moment.

The Baby System also came online and began to introduce the character's background.

【Fu Sijing, Luo Xichuan's good friend and best buddy. Character setting: a frivolous and dissolute playboy, but quite reliable when it comes to serious matters.】

"I didn't expect you to be here for a meal too. We haven't hung out in a long time. How about it? Together?"

Fu Sijing did not pay any attention to Luo Xixi on the side, smiling as he extended an invitation to Luo Xichuan.

Luo Xichuan, however, decisively refused, "Another day. I have to accompany my younger sister today."
