After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Nice to meet you, little sister

...Is this Lu Sheng?

That thought popped into Lu Jingyan's head.

The messy-haired, dirty-looking girl from before had now taken a bath and was standing in front of him.

Her black hair fell softly over her shoulders, still damp and dripping water.

Her bangs were brushed up, revealing a clean and pretty forehead.

She wore a white knee-length camisole dress, exposing her pale and slender neck and arms. The dress had a cinched waist which made her waist appear delicate and her legs long.

In Lu Jingyan's mind, country people should be tanned and dark due to laboring outdoors, yet the girl's skin was pale and delicate.

Looking at her face, it was small, the size of a palm, with a somewhat slender chin, a standard melon-shaped face.

A high nose bridge, dark eyebrows that needed no drawing, and naturally red lips. Her almond-shaped eyes clear and sparkling, as if holding stars.

"...Big brother?"

Seeing the man seemed a bit dazed, Lu Sheng feigned confusion and waved her hand in front of Lu Jingyan's eyes.

Lu Chengye was handsome; her mother, Du Ran, was even more beautiful. How could their daughter possibly be ugly?

However, the original host, due to never using skincare products and constantly being exposed to the sun and wind, had rough and reddened skin despite her good facial features, giving her a somewhat rural look.

Thus, during the bath, Lu Sheng used almost all of her remaining Soul Power to adjust her skin condition.

Humans, indeed, are ninety-nine percent drawn by looks.

It had to be admitted, an attractive face and figure were the best tools for closing the distance with strangers.

Indeed, Lu Sheng noticed Lu Jingyan kept staring at her and only after a long while did he hesitantly ask, "You... finished bathing?"

"Yes, big brother," Lu Sheng nodded obediently, hesitating before speaking, "But, I don't know how to use the hairdryer in the bathroom, so my hair is still dripping."

Lu Jingyan followed Lu Sheng's motion.

The girl tilted her head slightly, and water droplets on the tips of her hair followed her chin down to her skinny collarbone before disappearing into her fair skin.

Her eyes were so pure, like an innocent deer.

It seemed like she truly trusted him as a brother, although a bit hesitant due to his previous conduct.

"Bring the hairdryer here," Lu Jingyan said suddenly, not even sure why.

"...What?" Lu Sheng blinked, seemingly unclear of what Lu Jingyan meant.

"I said, go bring the hairdryer here. I'll show you how to use it," Lu Jingyan said firmly.

"Ah, okay, thank you, big brother." Lu Sheng suddenly smiled, her eyes and lips curving up, seemingly happy Lu Jingyan was treating her this way.

A simple and bright smile that made Lu Jingyan's heartbeat inexplicably quicken.

Could this be the same Lu Sheng who was just dirty a moment ago?

With such a face and bearing, she was not inferior to the precious daughters of Jiang City, not looking at all like someone raised in the countryside.

Looking at her now, she didn't lag far behind Qianrou.

Lu Sheng quickly brought the expensive five-thousand yuan hairdryer from the bathroom.

Lu Jingyan had her sit next to him and taught her which buttons to press and how to operate it. But the girl, like it was her first time encountering such a device, couldn't seem to learn.

"Sorry, big brother, I'm just dumb..." Lu Sheng bit her lip, her head hung low, seemingly blaming herself for wasting Lu Jingyan's time.

Seeing her like this, Lu Jingyan took the hairdryer in his hands: "Forget it, I'm free now anyway, I'll dry it for you."

"Really? Thank you, big brother!"

A servant's voice rang out: "Sir, Madam, Young Master, Miss, you're back."

Lu Chengye, Jiang Ting, and both Lu Qianrou and Lu Youye, upon entering the house and lifting their eyes, saw Lu Jingyan holding a girl, looking very intimate.

Their eyes met, and everyone was stunned.

Lu Sheng quietly tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"...Dad, Mom, you're back." Lu Jingyan also stiffened, immediately letting go of Lu Sheng in his arms.

He stood up straight and said: "I've brought Lu Sheng here, Lu Sheng, these are Dad, Mom, and Qianrou and Youye."

Lu Sheng also hurriedly stepped out of Lu Jingyan's embrace, raising her eyes to look at the four people standing in the entrance.

Lu Chengye frowned, Jiang Ting's face looked unpleasant. Lu Youye's brow furrowed, and he immediately embraced his sister Lu Qianrou next to him.

And Lu Qianrou, meeting Lu Sheng's gaze, had the smile on her face stiffen, showing an incredulous expression.

Inside, Lu Sheng sneered coldly.

Her disbelief, was it because she saw the brother who always doted on her supporting the one who should be despised;

Or was it because she thought the latter should have been abandoned in an alley, yet now she stands perfectly fine in the Lu Family's living room, shocking everyone?

Without much hesitation, Lu Sheng walked up to these people.

"Dad." Lu Sheng first called out to Lu Chengye.

Then looking towards Jiang Ting, "Aunt Jiang, hello, I am Lu Sheng. I am grateful that you agreed to take me into the Lu Family after my mother passed away."

Then she looked towards the tall, handsome young man with a rebellious charm, "You are Fifth Brother, right? Big Brother already introduced me."

"And Qianrou..." Lu Sheng extended her hand to still-stunned Lu Qianrou, her face earnest, her smile ambiguous, "I'm so pleased to meet you, sister."
