After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Lu Ning certainly remembered that in her previous life, she was very worried about her second brother's stomach problems.

Yet, he was moved to tears by a bowl of plain porridge from Qin Xiang.

Why is she still so shameless and eager to pursue him?

Gu Zifeng said sarcastically, "Lu Nanfeng, you should be asking your obedient and sensible fake sister to keep you company right now. What are you doing clinging to our Little Lemon?"

Lu Nanfeng wanted to say something, but Secretary Zhang held him down and took him for a checkup.

The attending physician looked at Lu Ning and sighed: "Last time he didn't receive treatment and was discharged directly. He also started drinking. Isn't this suicidal? Sooner or later it will turn into stomach cancer."

Lu Ning thought of her second brother in her previous life. Although he also had stomach problems, he had always taken good care of himself and it was impossible for his condition to have worsened like this.

As she turned to leave the office, she saw Ji Chiqian standing outside waiting.

She walked over and asked, "Where's Gu Zifeng?"

"She went to the restroom. What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said he needs to receive treatment and take his medication properly to prevent it from developing into stomach cancer."

Lu Ning's mood was affected.

Ji Chiqian knew that she was actually very kind, otherwise she wouldn't have come to the hospital.

He hesitated for a moment: "What do you plan to do?"

"I do not know either."

Lu Ning looked up at the man in front of her: "You got a girlfriend so quickly?"

Lu Ning stood in front of him, the two of them very close.

Ji Chiqian avoided her gaze: "We're not together yet."

She whispered, "Is it the girl I met at the restaurant that time?"

She had seen him once; Ji Chiqian was having dinner with a girl at a restaurant.

Ji Chiqian's Adam's apple bobbed slightly: "No."

A silence fell between the two.

Not long after, Lu Nanfeng came out in a wheelchair after the examination, his face somewhat pale.

Seeing her second brother like this, Lu Ning said in a distant tone, "The doctor said you should receive treatment, take your medicine on time, and stop drinking alcohol."

"Look at my memory, I always forget things. Before, when you were here with me, you always made sure I took my medicine. Now that you're not home, I often forget."

Lu Nanfeng's words were loaded with meaning; he could see the soft heart in Lu Ning's eyes.

It seems she still cares about her second brother.

If this illness could bring Lu Ning back to her senses, he would rather stay sick forever.

Lu Ning said with a sneer, "You can ask Qin Xiang to remind you, after all, she really enjoys doing this kind of thing."

Lu Nanfeng was momentarily speechless: "I think the medicinal porridge you used to make was very effective, but currently only you know how to make it. Your second brother knows you've actually put in a lot of effort before; it's your second brother's fault..."

"But that's not medicine, so it won't work."

Lu Ning knew what her second brother meant, but she just wouldn't respond.

She looked at Lu Nanfeng and said, "You should focus on your treatment. I'm leaving."

"Ningning, will you... will you come to see me again?"

Lu Nanfeng's eyes were filled with eager hope.

Lu Ning felt a little soft-hearted, but then she remembered the scene when she saw Qin Xiang here last time she came to the hospital.

She declined calmly, saying, "We'll see."

Lu Ning left after speaking, without staying at the hospital any longer.

As Lu Nanfeng watched her retreating figure, he said to his secretary Zhang beside him, "Did Ningning mean to you that she's starting to forgive me?"

Secretary Zhang thinks that the young lady probably doesn't mean that.

The boss has a long way to go in trying to win his sister back.

-

Lu Ning returned to the apartment with Ji Chiqian and the others.

Gu Zifeng walked ahead, saying, "I need to use the restroom urgently, so I'm going first. You guys take your time."

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian walked behind, and she turned her head: "I didn't expect that company was actually owned by Gu Zifeng? Are you also working there?"

"Yes, we went through the back door."

The two walked into the elevator side by side. Lu Ning was in a bad mood. She saw their reflections on the elevator door.

She smelled the alcohol on him: "Can I ask you a question?"

Ji Chiqian tugged at his collar, looking at her intently: "What's the problem?"

When Lu Ning looked at him, she suddenly couldn't say anything.

The man suddenly stepped forward, looking down at her: "Speak."

Faced with his piercing gaze, Lu Ning retreated in a panic until her back was pressed against the elevator.

She bit her lip: "It's nothing."

The man felt inexplicably irritated. He flicked Lu Ning's forehead and said, "Don't overthink it."

Lu Ning covered her forehead.

What did he mean by that? Was he referring to the fact that his second brother was hospitalized, or was it about him having a girlfriend?

The elevator doors opened, and Lu Ning turned and ran away.

Ji Chiqian stepped out of the elevator, rubbing his temples. He was still a little dizzy from not drinking so much alcohol in a long time.

He returned to his apartment, and Gu Zifeng looked up at him: "How did the talk go?"

"How about what?"

"Don't try to fool me. When we were eating earlier, I mentioned that you have a girlfriend, and Little Lemon reacted quite strongly. Don't tell me you didn't see it."

Ji Chiqian poured himself a glass of water and leaned against the table.

His eyes were dark as he slowly swirled his wine glass: "Once she goes to university, she'll forget about today."

She will grow up after she has seen the wider world.

All he could do was watch her leave.

Gu Zifeng glanced at Ji Chiqian: "I hope so."

But he felt that Ji Chiqian's behavior was off this time!

Perhaps Ji Chiqian himself didn't realize that this concern might have unknowingly turned sour.

-

In the days that followed, Lu Ning felt somewhat awkward whenever she faced Ji Chiqian.

After all, she did have some feelings for him.

Lu Ning is now basically certain that her online boyfriend in her past life was not Ji Chiqian.

Although they have the same game name, they are probably not the same person.

Lu Ning thought that her online crush from her past life would appear in the game, and there was less than half a month left.

She felt that she could run into the person she had a crush on in her past life.

During her live stream that evening, Lu Ning noticed that fans were asking about the finals.

[Lemon Goddess, will you participate in the finals?]

[Without you, Lu Tian's team would probably have lost in the first round.]

[Since the Lu family is so biased, why not send the scheming woman to the finals? Our Lemon Goddess isn't someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will!]

Lu Ning glanced at the time and realized that the final was tomorrow.

She hadn't planned to participate in the finals, so she didn't keep track of the date.

Lu Ning noticed the names on the fan leaderboard, including Second Brother and Sixth Brother, both of whom were online.

This means they are all watching the live stream right now.

Perhaps the fan's question was also deliberately arranged.

Lu Ning said calmly, "I don't plan to participate in this competition, but I will definitely participate in the next one."

It's better to make things clear sooner rather than later, to avoid any trouble.

After she finished speaking, she noticed that Sixth Brother was no longer in the live stream.

Hopefully, Lu Liu will have some self-awareness.

On the other side, Lu Liu angrily left the live stream, feeling complicated and disappointed.

It wasn't until this moment that he truly realized Lu Ning wouldn't be coming back for the competition.

He had always held onto a certain expectation that Lu Ning wouldn't abandon the Lu family's honor, since that was what Lu Ning cared about most in the past.

After all, Lu Ning came back to participate in the last revival competition.

He always felt that Lu Ning wouldn't skip the finals; she was just being stubborn.

But this time, he miscalculated.

Lu Liu looked at Lu Nanfeng, both amused and exasperated: "Second brother, what do you think I should do?"

"Sixth brother, I told you long ago that your apology was insincere, and you continued to bully and insult her. If it were me, I wouldn't forgive you either."

"But this is how I've always talked to Lu Ning, since we were kids, and she never got angry. Why has she suddenly changed?"

Lu Liu couldn't understand: "The reason I argued with her before was just because I couldn't swallow my pride as an older brother. She's my own sister, how could I possibly hurt her?"

That day, when someone hit Lu Ning at the branch office, he was the first to rush over.

He just doesn't say it, so why doesn't Lu Ning understand?

"Sixth brother, what are your plans regarding the competition?"

"I'll ask my older brother; he'll definitely find a way to get Lu Ning into the competition!"
