123: Stockings + anklets + waist silk in jeans are the most popular and are currently in the lead!

After he reached the parking space, a majestic luxury business van assertively occupied the view.

The vehicle's body was long and sleek, and under the gentle caress of the garage's warm yellow lights, its paint gleamed with a deep and luxurious luster, like a deep-sea night pearl.

It was as if a mysterious and noble night knight was silently exuding an undeniable aura of authority.

When he pulled open the car door, the interior's opulence was even more breathtaking.

The spacious rear compartment was large enough to accommodate six seats, arranged in a clever face-to-face layout of three pairs, resembling a mobile luxury private room.

The top-grade black leather seats were like large, delicate, soft black clouds, not only incredibly elastic, seemingly able to gently embrace a person, providing the ultimate comfort experience.

Moreover, every stitch and every thread was as meticulously woven as brocade, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship.

The car's interior was surrounded by ambient lights emitting a soft, warm glow, and the walnut interior panels, as if gently caressed by time, exuded a rich and mellow sheen.

Paired with shiny metallic armrests and exquisite cup holders that resembled works of art, a noble ambiance permeated the space, making one feel as if they were in a top-tier private palace.

After Gu Xiaoxiao and Liu Ruyan got into the car, a hint of confusion flickered in their eyes.

There were only three of them in total, so why use such a colossal business van?

However, both were astute individuals and wisely chose not to say more.

When it was time to take their seats, Lu Chen naturally and calmly sat in the middle of the three seats on the right side.

Liu Ruyan and Gu Xiaoxiao, with great understanding, sat on either side.

Liu Ruyan maintained her usual elegant and charming demeanor, moving with light steps to her seat.

Then, she first used her slender, spring onion-like hands, with their brightly painted nails, to gently smooth the wrinkles of her dark purple cheongsam over her hips.

Her movements were gentle and graceful, like a breeze passing over a lake, creating no ripples.

Every one of her fingertips seemed to possess a rhythm, slowly gliding along the curves of the cheongsam, fully revealing her perfectly proportioned, curvaceous figure, like an ancient Greek sculpture, so alluring that it was hard to look away.

Only then did she sit down with utmost grace and poise, her posture as dignified as a classical lady statue displayed in a museum.

Her legs were pressed together, slightly angled to one side, and the slit of the cheongsam perfectly revealed a small section of her jade-like legs, clad in aurora-sheen sheer stockings.

Under the flickering car lights, they shimmered with an alluring glow, like a flowing, captivating ink wash painting.

Gu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, walked confidently towards her seat.

However, as she sat down, she seemingly carelessly, but in fact subtly, bent down slightly.

Her fingers gently pinched the hem of her skinny jeans, and with a swift and smooth motion, she lightly pulled them up, instantly revealing a section of her delicate ankle.

Liu Ruyan looked down, her gaze falling upon it.

This glance was not insignificant.

She was instantly stunned.

Gu Xiaoxiao was actually wearing a layer of ultra-thin black stockings under her skinny jeans!

The black stockings were like a mysterious dark veil, clinging tightly to her skin, and with her movements, they subtly revealed the delicate pink hue of her skin, like a shy flower bud hidden behind the night.

An exquisite and dainty anklet also hung on her ankle.

The silver chain sparkled with tiny glints in the dim light, like dewdrops precariously balanced on the tips of morning grass, exuding a mysterious and alluring aura, instantly adding a touch of playfulness and a different kind of sexiness to her.

Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes immediately widened, a hint of astonishment flashing within them, her expression as if she had seen an extraterrestrial being.

Her originally confident and seemingly in-control face instantly froze for a moment, like a paused movie frame.

Her cherry lips were slightly parted, and she seemed to want to speak but held back, as if an invisible hand was clutching her throat, and she mused to herself:

"This Gu Xiaoxiao, she usually seems as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, but I never expected her to be so cunning, even playing this 'stockings under jeans' trick. I truly underestimated her!"

At this moment, Liu Ruyan's internal vigilance instantly soared.

She realized that she also had to do something, otherwise she would be overshadowed by Gu Xiaoxiao!

Lu Chen also seemed not to have expected this scene; his gaze instantly locked on as if with an aimbot, his brain not yet having time to react, his eyes already drawn like by a magnet, looking down.

His stern face also softened for a moment, like a calm lake disturbed by a small pebble.

A hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes; it seemed that in this instant, he saw a completely new Gu Xiaoxiao.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxiao felt even more confident.

The corners of her mouth curved slightly, a faint smile blooming like the first spring flower on a spring morning, then quickly fading, as if afraid of being noticed.

She secretly congratulated herself.

Indeed, her persistence back then was correct.

When she was changing into this outfit at home, she still felt something was missing, so she proposed this 'stockings under jeans' trick.

Zhao Jiaqi disagreed, saying it was superfluous and would ruin the overall aesthetic and atmosphere.

But she insisted on doing it, and in the end, Zhao Jiaqi couldn't argue with her and had to agree.

Now it seemed that her decision was truly brilliant!

Pure innocence alone was not enough; to attract a battle-hardened and discerning man like Lu Chen, contrast was the most important thing!

Gu Xiaoxiao was secretly delighted. She slightly pursed her lips, her movement as gentle as kissing a petal.

Then, seemingly inadvertently, she tightened the bottom of her white top a little. Her fingers nimbly pinched the hem, gently pulling and gathering it, her movements skillful and natural, as if it were just a subconscious small action.

This adjustment revealed her slender waist, which could be spanned with one hand, and a small section of skin as fair and tender as freshly cooked tofu.

In the ambiguous interplay of light and shadow within the car, it was as alluring as mutton-fat jade, exuding a soft, creamy luster.

And a hint of 'waist-stockings' peeked out from the edge of her jeans, making it even more tempting.

More importantly!

On that slender, willow-like waist, there was actually a silver chain hanging.

The chain swayed gently with her movements, reflecting specks of light, like stars falling to earth, adding a touch of playfulness and sexiness to her, as if an elven princess had strayed into the mortal world, exuding an irresistible charm.

This scene instantly left Liu Ruyan even more shocked and astonished.

Her face paled slightly, like a flower touched by frost in winter, losing some of its vibrancy.

Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, her eyes filled with unwillingness and anger, like two burning embers.

She gritted her teeth, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart, but her gaze remained fixed on Gu Xiaoxiao.

Liu Ruyan snorted coldly, her eyes full of sarcasm, and she slightly raised her chin.

The angle seemed precisely measured to display her arrogance and disdain. She turned her head to Gu Xiaoxiao and said with a smile:

"Xiaoxiao, I didn't expect you had this trick up your sleeve. You usually act so pure; you hide your schemes quite well."

As she spoke, her fingers lightly twirled a strand of hair by her ear, her cherry lips smiling sweetly, but her eyes were like poisoned arrows, shooting directly at Gu Xiaoxiao, as if to pierce several holes in her.

Gu Xiaoxiao responded without mercy. She looked up and met Liu Ruyan's gaze, her eyes open and fearless, a faint curve on her lips, a smile that was almost imperceptible:

"Sister Yan, how can this be called a scheme? I'm just dressing according to my own preferences; unlike some people who spend all their time thinking about how to curry favor with others. Isn't that tiring?"

As she spoke, she lightly wiggled her foot, and the exquisite anklet made a subtle sound, as if cheering her on, and also as if mocking Liu Ruyan's narrow-mindedness.

Liu Ruyan's gaze instantly hardened in anger, her eyebrows furrowed.

Since she was a child, no one had ever dared to speak to her like that!

Of course, except for Lu Chen.

Just as she was about to retort,

Lu Chen, sitting in the middle, his gaze shifting between the two of them, his eyes deep and unfathomable, frowned slightly, and his low voice broke the brief stalemate: "Both of you, quiet down."

His voice was like a biting cold wind, instantly dispelling some of the tension in the car.

Liu Ruyan's heart tightened, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, her voice as sweet and soft as the sweetest spring nectar, and she quickly said:

"Mr. Lu, please don't be angry, I was just joking with Xiaoxiao."

Her eyes quickly became gentle as water, full of fawning when she looked at Lu Chen, like a kitten eager for its owner's caress.

Gu Xiaoxiao also reined in the sharpness on her face, lowered her head slightly, and softly said: "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, leaned back against the seat, closed his eyes, and said nothing more. The car fell silent for a while, with only the faint sound of the wheels rolling.

Soon,

The vehicle arrived outside the Lu Family Manor.
