"Do... do you want to see?"
When Lin Ruoxi browsed the internet, certain websites would often have pop-up ads in the bottom-right corner featuring "big sisters" in black stockings.
She looked it up online and ca to the conclusion that all n like black stockings.
She rembered how last year, Xue Rui had said he wanted to see her wear them for him.
But her grandma had said that black stockings weren’t for proper girls. Still, she thought about it and decided that since it was Xue Rui’s birthday, it would probably be fine to wear them for him just this once.
Besides, she felt like she was already a "bad girl" now, so she was allowed to wear black stockings.
"Ahem..."
’What? Black stockings?’
Xue Rui couldn’t hold back, and noodles nearly shot out of his nose.
Lin Ruoxi reached out and gently patted his back, trying to help him catch his breath.
As Xue Rui coughed, he thought, ’What kind of weird stuff has Lin Ruoxi been learning online?’
But no man could refuse such a request. With tears welling in the corners of his eyes from coughing, Xue Rui said, "See them! Who wouldn’t want to see them?"
When Xue Rui gave his affirmative answer, Lin Ruoxi’s face imdiately flushed red, and she lowered her head and went into her room.
’Weren’t you the one who asked?’ Xue Rui thought. ’Why are you the one getting shy?’
"Don’t you go back on your word," Xue Rui reminded her.
He guessed that Lin Ruoxi was probably changing in her room. The door was even ajar—she didn’t see him as an outsider at all!
’If I were to go in right now...’
Just as he was lost in his fantasy, the old lady sat down next to him.
"Why aren’t you in bed yet?" Xue Rui asked with a frown.
The old lady turned on the TV. "Can’t sleep."
"The elderly should sleep early. It’s good for your health." Xue Rui turned the TV off.
The old lady then fished out a remote Lin Ruoxi had made from under the coffee table and turned the TV back on.
With Xue Rui and the old lady each holding a remote, they turned the TV on and off, and on and off again...
...until the door to Lin Ruoxi’s bedroom was pushed open. Both of their gazes simultaneously shifted to her.
Lin Ruoxi peeked her head out, then walked out with her head lowered.
She had zipped her school uniform all the way up, covering half her face. ’These black pantyhose feel so strange,’ she thought. ’It’s like I’m wearing nothing at all...’
"Oof~" The visual impact was so strong that Xue Rui forgot to breathe.
He had been wondering, since Lin Ruoxi didn’t know much about fashion, what kind of outfit she would co out in. Would it shatter his wonderful fantasy?
The reality was that Lin Ruoxi indeed had no fashion sense, but the effect was surprisingly good.
On top, Lin Ruoxi wore her blue and white school uniform, like a fusion of sky and clouds, giving her a youthful and even purer look.
Her lower half, however, was clad in black pantyhose. Lin Ruoxi was already tall, and she had grown a little more recently. Xue Rui felt that at 175 cm, her legs were already as long as his, and he was 183 cm...
Her two long, slender legs were wrapped in glossy black, outlining a perfect curve, and they even had the Balenciaga logo on them.
But that wasn’t the main point. Lin Ruoxi’s uniform jacket was a bit oversized, just long enough to cover the crucial parts, creating a unique charm, much like a girl secretly wearing her boyfriend’s shirt.
Below the blue and white uniform were thighs in black stockings, with just a hint of perfectly placed softness that made them look so supple. Add to that Lin Ruoxi’s shy posture, the way she would occasionally pull her feet back, her legs pressed tightly together...
Xue Rui felt an unbearable itch in his heart as he watched. ’Is she only wearing the stockings under that uniform?’ he wondered.
The loose uniform swayed slightly, and the contrast between the uniform and the stockings sent Xue Rui’s imagination running wild...
Xue Rui gritted his teeth. ’Where did she learn this? She’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she?’
’A genius is a genius, I guess. A school uniform with black stockings?’
’But damn, it looks so fucking good.’
Especially what lay beneath that seemingly empty uniform; it sparked countless fantasies...
The old lady’s expression instantly darkened. ’How could my granddaughter wear sothing like that?’ she thought. ’Xue Rui must have put her up to this!’
Xue Rui noticed sothing was wrong. He frowned and launched a preemptive strike, "See? I’m being corrupted."
"Xixi, who told you to wear that?" the old lady demanded.
"I wanted to wear it," Lin Ruoxi said softly, her head lowered.
She felt how smooth her legs were. She rubbed them against each other and found it was actually kind of fun.
Xue Rui’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. ’What is she doing?!’ he thought.
Lin Ruoxi had discovered a key point: Xue Rui really liked looking at her legs, just like the internet said.
"Go and change," the old lady said helplessly.
She didn’t believe Lin Ruoxi wanted to wear it herself. That brat Xue Rui must have put her up to it—after all, his eyes hadn’t moved from her legs once!
But she also thought it was a good thing that Lin Ruoxi was learning to lie.
Lin Ruoxi looked conflicted. She didn’t know who to listen to. Xue Rui’s eyes were still glued to her legs.
’If I change, will Xue Rui be unhappy? But if I don’t, Grandma will be unhappy.’
Lin Ruoxi stood hesitating at her bedroom door for a long while, giving Xue Rui quite an eyeful...
Seeing Da Huang approaching Lin Ruoxi’s legs, wagging its tail, Xue Rui said urgently, "Hurry up and change. Don’t let the dog lick you."
"Oh, okay." Lin Ruoxi obediently closed her door, locking Da Huang outside.
Xue Rui rubbed his fingers together. ’No need to rush,’ he thought. ’There’ll be plenty of chances to touch them in the future...’
His undisguised reaction made the old lady frown.
But there wasn’t much the old lady could do about Xue Rui. Her granddaughter clearly listened to him more now.
"Ma’am, I might need you to sign a contract in the next couple of days. I’ve made quite a bit of money," Xue Rui said in a serious tone.
The old lady just grunted in acknowledgnt. She knew Xue Rui’s family was well-off; her granddaughter would definitely live a good life with him.
She was getting too old, especially in the last six months. Her body was becoming less and less reliable, and she no longer had the energy to find a good husband for her granddaughter.
Xue Rui’s mother was very fond of Lin Ruoxi, and that kind of affection an elder has for a junior couldn’t be faked.
The old lady believed no one was more suitable for Lin Ruoxi than Xue Rui.
An innocent girl often needs a rascal to protect her, and Xue Rui was the most principled of rascals. Even when her granddaughter foolishly threw herself at him, Xue Rui hadn’t been in a rush to devour her, showing plenty of respect for her as an elder.
In her heart, she had already tacitly approved of him.
A long while later, Lin Ruoxi ca running out in a panic, holding a small cake. She hadn’t realized one of the candles was a small sparkler. After being lit, it burst into silvery-white sparks. Afraid it would go out, she wanted to quickly show it to Xue Rui.
"Happy birthday," Lin Ruoxi said quickly, hurrying to present the cake to Xue Rui so he could blow out the candle.
However, Da Huang happened to pass by her feet at that exact mont. The dog tripped her, and the cake went flying.
"Shit!" Xue Rui leaped up as the cake splatted onto the floor.
"I’m... I’m sorry..." Lin Ruoxi burst into tears. It was the first ti she had celebrated his birthday, and she had dropped the cake on the floor.
Xue Rui sighed helplessly. ’What a ss.’
"It’s fine. It’s my fault for not catching it. Besides, it’s not like we can’t eat it." Xue Rui flipped a piece of the cake over and took a bite.
"No, it’s not your fault..." Lin Ruoxi rubbed her eyes, feeling useless for not even being able to hold a cake steady.
"It’s all this stupid dog’s fault. Let’s give it a beating." Xue Rui pointed at Da Huang, shifting all the bla onto the dog.
"Can we not hit him?" Lin Ruoxi asked weakly. She felt she was the one mainly at fault.
"Then stop crying and eat the cake," Xue Rui said, pointing at it.
"Mm, okay."
Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi lowered their heads and ate the squashed cake. Every now and then, Xue Rui would dab a bit of frosting on Lin Ruoxi’s face.
Lin Ruoxi didn’t fight back, letting Xue Rui draw on her face as he pleased.
The old lady watched them with a smile, thinking how well-matched they were.
...
「Three days later.」
In a private room on the top floor of Qunfang Tower.
"President Xue, are you satisfied with this proposal?" Qingfeng asked with a smile.
He had been in communication with headquarters for a long ti. The big boss and the shareholders had held a day-long eting and agreed to a twenty percent revenue share, plus 10 million in cash.
"It’s so-so," Xue Rui said nonchalantly.
He knew Le You’s budget was 15 million, but he had taken a step back and only asked for 10 million. The other five million was a gesture of goodwill toward Le You.
In truth, Xue Rui was thrilled. Generally, revenue sharing was only 10 to 15 percent, but Le You had actually offered 20.
The number might not sound huge, but he had high hopes for Le You because they collaborated with Tencent and could leverage social resources for rapid expansion.
Plus, with the handful of trademarks he owned serving as a moat, a large company’s legal departnt was no joke and could eliminate many competitors.
This twenty percent share could very well an sixty to seventy million in pure dividends a year in the future—much better than a one-ti buyout.
"President Xue, why don’t you and Classmate Lin take advantage of the May Day holiday to visit our headquarters for a few days and handle the project handover?" Qingfeng said with a laugh.
"Life’s tough for a high school student. What holiday? We can do the handover online. You guys should get with the tis," Xue Rui said coolly.
"Alright, let’s sign the contract first," Qingfeng said with a smile.
In reality, there wasn’t much to hand over. Although Xue Rui’s side owned the IP, they lacked a professional art departnt, so the various icons had flaws and the animations weren’t detailed enough. Le You would be rebuilding all of that anyway.
The reason for the invitation was to communicate more with Xue Rui, to let him see Le You’s strength. Even if he didn’t join them, he would prioritize them for future collaborations.
He believed that after getting such a large sum of money, Xue Rui would definitely do sothing else.
"Mr. Xue, I’ve reviewed the contract with several of my colleagues. There are no issues," Lawyer Zhang said.
’This contract is very standard,’ he thought. ’The details it covers are extrely comprehensive. As expected of a draft from a major company, to be able to produce a proposal like this in just a few days.’
He was even more shocked by Xue Rui. At such a young age, he was already worth over ten million.
But he wasn’t too bitter about it. After all, Xue Rui was Boss Xue’s son. Even without this inco from the ga, it was only a matter of ti before his net worth surpassed ten million after inheriting the family business.
Moreover, Xue Rui had even managed to get Director Gu to co and back him up. Countless people brought gifts to his door and couldn’t even get a smile in return, yet this kid was worth a personal trip from Director Gu.
He thought about himself—he was already in his thirties and had only just managed to buy a flat in Hedong with a full paynt.
He couldn’t help but sigh. ’Being born well is a fucking skill.’
"Grandma, go ahead and sign with Lawyer Zhang," Xue Rui said, helping the old lady over.
He had seen Le You’s sincerity, and with the careful review by these professional lawyers, he wasn’t worried about the contract.
Besides, anyone who tried to cheat Director Gu’s nephew would have to think twice about the consequences.
That was the benefit of having Gu Qingshan show up that one ti.
After the old lady signed, there was another contract for him to sign, which would transfer the assets into his na.
"Grandma, did you see the contract? I made ten million today," Xue Rui said nonchalantly, sitting next to her and casually dropping a bomb.
