I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 306 Playing the Act to the End

Inside the Cullinan.

Ling Yao stared intently at Wei Lin's profile, her heart fluttering uncontrollably, unable to calm down for a long time.

"I wish he were really my boyfriend."

Ling Yao sighed inwardly.

Both in appearance and personality, Wei Lin fits her aesthetic standards, and the age difference between them is just right.

Unfortunately, Wei Lin already had girlfriends, and she knew of at least two.

She hadn't expected Wei Lin to actually come, and even drive this incredibly expensive Rolls-Royce, which was a huge show of respect for her.

Wei Lin behaved very politely in front of his classmates, which made her feel especially proud.

But she also knew that Wei Lin had a domineering and assertive side.

She was one of the witnesses in the Oscar box.

She witnessed firsthand how fierce and ruthless Wei Lin was when facing Zhuang Daoyuan and his group of top-tier rich second-generation heirs in Linjiang City.

In her eyes, Wei Lin was multifaceted: wealthy, surrounded by beautiful women, and generous and righteous.

She had only ever seen such a perfect man in Korean dramas; she had never met one in real life.

"Brother Wei, thank you."

Ling Yao said softly.

Wei Lin smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's nothing, no need to be polite. We're friends, so if you encounter similar situations or other troubles in the future, you can come to me."

He glanced casually at the affection system and noticed that Ling Yao had quietly given him seven points of favorability through his actions at the restaurant entrance.

The rapid increase in his favorability made him realize that if he put in a little effort, Ling Yao's favorability could be elevated and easily transformed into love.

For him, the more affection points the better, but...

"As long as there is no actual relationship with her, there shouldn't be a big problem."

Wei Lin pondered to himself, feeling that having Ling Yao, who admired him and continuously offered him affection points, would help him accumulate even more affection points.

After all, further life advancement requires a much larger amount of love points, and it's unrealistic to expect to gain a massive amount of love points in a short time with just a few women at present.

His attempt to gain favor through social media has been rejected by the affection value system; he can only do so through women he has interacted with.

"Brother Wei, I won't go to the karaoke bar. You can just take me home. Or, is there anywhere you'd like to go? I can go with you."

Ling Yao whispered, her bright eyes shimmering with azure light.

Without hesitation, Wei Lin said, "Then I'll take you home."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yao's face immediately showed disappointment, and she became slightly saddened.

She kept Zhang Mu and Xie Linyu's words in mind, and she was also aware that her status as a beautician was indeed far inferior to that of Lin Nanxi and Shen Yanfei.

One of them owns a shop, and the other recently started his own advertising company; both are outstanding in appearance and have great figures.

What does she have?
Aside from being young and beautiful, she doesn't seem to have anything else to offer, so how could she dare to hope for too much?

Around this time, she received several messages from a close old classmate complaining about her.

"This mad dog is biting people indiscriminately, it's never going to stop!"

Ling Yao couldn't help but spit out a curse.

Wei Lin, who was turning the steering wheel, looked over in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"

“Zhang Mu and Xie Linyu, those two slandered me at the dinner table. Just now, after I left with you, they started gossiping behind my back, saying that I was being kept by you.”

"They also said that you're only holding this for the short term and will dump me after a while."

"People are really different. Most of my classmates are pretty good, but these two are just being sarcastic and keep saying that my profession as a beautician is actually that of a massage therapist."

"..."

Frustrated, Ling Yao launched into a tirade against Zhang Mu and Xie Linyu in front of Wei Lin, becoming increasingly agitated as she spoke.

Wei Lin was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go, I'll go to the karaoke bar with you."

Ling Yao was not happy at all; instead, she suddenly panicked and said, her face changing, "Brother Wei, they are all my old classmates. You can't do anything reckless!"

Wei Lin shook his head and chuckled: "What? In your eyes, am I the kind of reckless brute who would resort to violence at the slightest provocation? What happened last time was just those stupid rich kids messing things up themselves, so it was only right that I taught them a lesson. As for your foul-mouthed classmates, as long as they don't lay a hand on me, I won't do anything to them."

"Really?" Ling Yao was still a little uneasy.

Wei Lin said, "Haha, since I'm already here, I'll give you plenty of face!"

……

Happy Singing Show, VIP12.

Two cases of beer were placed on the table. Class monitor Hong Qing took a bottle opener and opened more than a dozen bottles, filling everyone's glass with beer and repeatedly urging them to drink while talking about their friendship.

Everyone was very accommodating and responded to him.

In a corner, Zhang Mu drank alone, feeling rather uneasy.

Ling Yao, who left earlier, has not shown up, leading him to believe that she is definitely not coming.

The thought of his sexy and alluring goddess being driven away by a rich man like Wei Lin made him imagine some inappropriate scenes.

"Women, they're all the same!"

Zhang Mu cursed and downed the beer in his glass in one gulp, making everyone in the private room feel annoyed.

"Zhang Mu, come over and request a song!"

Squad leader Hong Qing greeted people at the song request station.

"Forget it, not interested."

Zhang Mu shook his head, opened his phone, found Ling Yao's WeChat, and sent a message emboldened by alcohol: "What are you pretending for? Do you think someone would really be interested in you? Besides being pretty, what else do you have that would make someone fall for you? Do you think that just because you've hooked up with a rich guy, you'll become a phoenix?" "Dream on!"

Zhang Mu then sent several more insulting messages.

……

Outside the box.

After chatting with Wei Lin for a while in the parking lot, Ling Yao, who came in behind him, was pulled aside. When she saw the messages Zhang Mu had sent, her pretty face suddenly turned ugly.

"A mad dog bites people indiscriminately!"

Ling Yao handed her phone screen to Wei Lin and said, "It was sent by Zhang Mu!"

After glancing at him for a few moments, Wei Lin smiled and said, "Want me to teach him a lesson for you?"

Ling Yao, who had been advising Wei Lin all the way not to act recklessly, really wanted him to give Zhang Mu a good beating. However, she remained calm and restrained, shaking her head and saying, "Brother Wei, with your status and position, it's not worth arguing with someone like this."

After saying that, she blocked Zhang Mu on WeChat before entering the private room.

"Alright, I'll sit with you for a while."

Wei Lin pulled her and pushed open the door to the private room, stepping inside.

"Ling Yao!"

"Why are you so late? I thought you weren't coming!"

Class monitor Hong Qing, along with several others who were on good terms with Ling Yao, greeted her warmly as she entered, and then looked at Wei Lin beside her with rather envious and respectful eyes.

"Ling Yao, aren't you going to introduce this distinguished Cullinan owner?"

Pan Yiyong said with a smile.

Before Ling Yao could reply, Wei Lin spoke first: "I am Wei Lin, one of Ling Yao's suitors."

"Suitor?"

Everyone was startled.

A handsome, tall, and wealthy diamond man like Wei Lin still relentlessly pursues Ling Yao.

"Yes, I've been pursuing Ling Yao for a while, but she keeps refusing to agree."

Wei Lin sighed softly, a look of disappointment on his face, and said, "As far as I know, there are at least three other suitors who are also quite eligible to pursue Ling Yao. The competition is just too fierce! Everyone, please put in a good word for me and help me get Ling Yao to agree as soon as possible!"

He gave Ling Yao plenty of face.

"Damn, Ling Yao, you're even more popular than you were in college!"

Class monitor Hong Qing was greatly surprised and glared at Ling Yao reproachfully, saying, "You still say you don't have a boyfriend? Even a guy like President Wei has been pursuing you for so long and you still won't agree to date him. What kind of guy do you want?"

Zhang Xiaoli glanced at Zhang Mu and said casually, "Some people are even saying you're being kept by a sugar daddy!"

Zhang Mu, who had sent several messages, saw Ling Yao and Wei Lin come in together and felt guilty, so he shrank back.

"I won't stoop to the level of a mad dog."

Ling Yao tilted her head back, not even glancing at Zhang Mu, and sat down next to Wei Lin.

Wei Lin wore a smile on his face, perfectly embodying the image of a suitor, pouring wine for Ling Yao and offering her fruit with toothpicks.

"President Wei really knows how to take care of people!"

Zhang Xiaoli was extremely envious.

A man as handsome and tall as Wei Lin, who is also so wealthy and rich, actually lowered himself to treat Ling Yao like this; he's like a male lead straight out of an idol drama.

Ling Yao also enjoyed it very much, and the spring scenery was full of vitality in the misty waves.

"Mr. Wei, I'd like to offer you a toast!"

"Mr. Wei, if you don't mind, shall we have a drink?"

"President Wei!"

Ling Yao's classmates in the private room, regardless of gender, had all drunk quite a bit that night. Seeing that Wei Lin was so down-to-earth and didn't have any of the airs of a rich person, they all rushed up to toast him.

"Sorry everyone, how about I use water instead of alcohol? I still need to take Ling Yao home later, and many designated drivers are afraid to drive my car," Wei Lin said apologetically.

"Oh, I almost forgot that Mr. Wei drives a Cullinan! Well, many designated drivers don't dare to drive that kind of car, I understand!"

Hong Qing said with a smile.

No one forced Wei Lin to drink; they all felt it was an honor to come over and clink glasses with him.

With the Cullinan as a symbol of his status, coupled with Wei Lin's outstanding social skills, he quickly became friends with Ling Yao's classmates, and even sang a love song with Ling Yao amidst the cheers of the crowd.

After the song ended, the two returned to their seats.

As Ling Yao poured herself a drink, she noticed Zhang Mu, who was sitting alone in the corner, looking at her with an extremely bitter expression.

"Humph!"

Ling Yao's pretty face turned cold.

She deliberately moved closer to Wei Lin, pressing one of her legs tightly against his, creating the impression that the two were very intimate.

Wei Lin, standing to the side, smiled without saying a word, immediately seeing through her little scheme.

"Ling Yao, you really know how to pick a man. I'm impressed."

Xie Linyu, who also harbored hostility towards Ling Yao, couldn't help but move over and plop down next to Wei Lin. Looking across Wei Lin at Ling Yao, she said, "How did you two meet? If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Wei must be your customer, right? Did you provide exceptionally good service, and Mr. Wei took a liking to you?"

The insulting nature of these words is obvious.
