I suggest you investigate; this person doesn't seem to be a first-time reborn individual.

After leaving the Finance Institute and dropping Xia Chan off at her school, Lin Ran turned the car around and drove Huang Lingyue towards the South Campus.

While waiting at a red light, Lin Ran glanced at his phone and saw a message from Xia Chan pop up.

"Boss, isn't this what you call treating everyone equally?"

Lin Ran's eye twitched.

Summer is almost over, and autumn is approaching. If Xia Chan doesn't change her name to Qiu Chan, Lin Ran is prepared to deduct her salary.

The lights were on, but perhaps because it was rush hour, there was a traffic jam ahead.

Lin Ran opened the car window, lit a cigarette, and began puffing away at the oncoming car exhaust fumes.

Huang Lingyue sat quietly in the passenger seat, still holding the bouquet of champagne roses in her arms.

Lin Ran occasionally glanced at Huang Lingyue, his gaze lingering several times on her beautiful legs encased in stockings. Such beautiful legs were truly rare; any man would be tempted to take a second look.

He had never known that Huang Lingyue had such beautiful legs, since he always wore school uniform pants at school.

Fair-skinned and slender, with almost no flaws, her legs, encased in stockings, revealed a faint pale white color, making it seem as if walking on them would be a waste.

Lin Ran quickly finished his cigarette, closed the car window, and casually rested his right hand on the armrest.

Huang Lingyue had noticed his gaze towards her stockings several times before, and her eyes flickered slightly.

She gently placed the flowers in her arms on her knees, which were pressed together, and then, as if simply adjusting her posture, naturally moved her legs a little towards the driver's seat.

The outside of her calf, clad in black stockings, inadvertently brushed against the back of Lin Ran's right hand on the armrest.

The warmth of her body seeped through the thin stockings.

The moment they made contact, Lin Ran clearly felt the other person's leg tremble slightly.

To his surprise, Huang Lingyue quickly withdrew her leg.

Then, to Lin Ran's astonishment, she bent down and decisively kicked off her little leather shoes.

Then, those feet, encased in stockings, were laid out horizontally on the wide armrest box, their ten toes curled up, the tips of their toes showing a faint pink hue through the stockings—it was incredibly alluring.

She turned to look at Lin Ran, her chin slightly raised: "Do you like it?"

Lin Ran's gaze lingered on those feet for two seconds, his throat bobbed, he swallowed, and nodded honestly: "I like it."

Huang Lingyue was very satisfied with Lin Ran's reaction, and a glint of triumph flashed in her eyes.

Hmph, this man really does like stockings.

She leaned forward slightly, her breath sweet as orchids, her voice carrying a hint of seduction: "If you become my boyfriend, you can touch them as you like today..."

Lin Ran's smile faltered for a moment. He gave a dry laugh, looked away at the traffic ahead, and remained silent.

Seeing his evasive attitude, Huang Lingyue was both angry and annoyed, but she quickly suppressed her anger.

"Lin Ran," she called softly.

"Um?"

Huang Lingyue blinked her beautiful eyes: "So many people praise me for being pretty, and I have quite a few suitors. I think I'm pretty, right?"

Lin Ran nodded honestly: "It looks good."

"And what about you?" she stared intently into his eyes. "Don't you have any feelings for me at all?"

Lin Ran felt a chill run down his spine. What could he say?

You can't exactly tell her, "Of course I have feelings, but you were too domineering in my past life and annoyed me a lot. I want to think about it more in this life."

Or is it "There's another Li Futing waiting for me in the north, and I want to have my cake and eat it too, but I guess you won't agree"?

He opened his mouth, but when he met Huang Lingyue's stubborn gaze, he was speechless.

His hesitation only confirmed Huang Lingyue's suspicions. She didn't need a definite answer from him; she only needed confirmation that she was attractive to him.

She knew that Lin Ran couldn't be won over in a short time, so she was prepared for a protracted battle.

She rolled her eyes at Lin Ran, smacked her red lips with her teeth, and blushed, two streaks of red appearing on her cheeks.

She turned her face away, her voice almost inaudible: "Since you took the initiative to come see me today..."

He paused, as if making a decision, and said, "I can let you touch me. But only today."

"Uh..." Lin Ran didn't expect her to say that.

"You said it yourself..."

Looking at her profile, which was trying to appear calm, and then following the graceful curve to her full buttocks that were sinking deep into the seat, he was immediately tempted and reached out his hand.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the stockings, Lin Ran suddenly stopped. He looked at Huang Lingyue's tightly closed eyes and trembling eyelashes, then at his own hand hanging in the air.

This scene is just too damn weird.

He chuckled dryly, withdrew his hand, and touched his nose: "Something feels off... I'll wait until I feel it again."

Upon hearing this, Huang Lingyue opened her eyes, and the blush on her face faded somewhat, replaced by a look of surprise. Feeling that her charm had been questioned, a surge of anger rose within her.

"Touch!" She said defiantly, stretching out her legs and stepping over the armrest box, placing them on Lin Ran's thighs.

Feeling a sensitive spot being touched, Lin Ran stiffened, then let out a dry laugh: "Let's make this clear beforehand, I haven't agreed to be your boyfriend yet, this is your request..."

"You scoundrel! You're getting the benefits and then acting innocent!"

Huang Lingyue was infuriated by his hypocritical attitude. Feeling both ashamed and angry, she raised her leg to kick him a couple of times.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ran reacted even faster, grabbing her ankle as she tried to pull back and firmly fixing her calf to his leg.

Huang Lingyue felt as if she had been electrocuted, instantly freezing in place, her body trembling slightly, her eyes tightly shut again, afraid to open them.

Lin Ran was completely aroused by her appearance. He held her ankle with one hand and slowly stroked her calf upwards with the other.

His fingertips, through the thin stockings, caressed her smooth, delicate legs, from her shapely calves to her soft knees, and then to her thighs…

Every movement caused Huang Lingyue's body to tremble.

She felt as if her body was being roasted over a fire, her reason slowly melting away, her body going limp, and her breathing becoming labored.

Just when she felt she was about to collapse, she opened her eyes, which were already filled with tears, and looked at her with seductive eyes: "Lin Ran... I like you."

Lin Ran's restless thoughts were instantly extinguished as if doused with a bucket of cold water, and his actions came to an abrupt halt.

Only the heavy breathing of the two men remained inside the carriage.

Noticing that Lin Ran had stopped moving, Huang Lingyue suddenly looked at him.

"asshole!"

Overwhelmed with shame and anger, she suddenly mustered the strength to straddle the armrest, grab Lin Ran's collar, and kiss him fiercely on the lips.

More accurately, it bit into it.

Her pearly teeth chattered, biting Lin Ran's lips and refusing to let go.
