I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 390: Change of Strategy
July 3, Sunday.

Affection level: 8164/50000.

Life Energy: 800/5000.

In the morning, Wei Lin woke up from a nightmare.

He had an unusually bad night's sleep, his mind filled with a heavy sense of guilt.

After finally falling asleep, he had a dream.

The dream was very real; he remembered every scene clearly.

In his dream, he married Zhuang Qing, and Lin Nanxi, He Jingxuan, Shen Yanfei, and others were present at the wedding.

Several women sat at a table, all looking at him coldly.

All the love he had painstakingly accumulated was wiped out in an instant, and could not be increased even a little bit more.

The most terrifying thing is that Lin Nanxi and He Jingxuan made a huge scene at his wedding, trying to commit suicide.

He could sense the two women's heartbreak. He remembered them pointing at him, questioning and insulting him in a frenzied manner, as if they wanted to tear him apart.

"Damn it! If things don't go well in the future, this might really happen!"

Wei Lin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

He soon realized that no matter how firm his beliefs were, no matter what excuses he used to convince himself, he still couldn't get over the guilt in his heart.

The way the love value system grows forces him to constantly hunt for new women, but those women who love him wholeheartedly and without any other motives are also silently tormenting him.

He felt extremely guilty about this.

"How to do?"

Wei Lin murmured softly.

He simply cannot give up the magical love value system right now, but if he wants to gain more love value, he must have multiple women.

Only in this way can the affection value continue to grow, allowing him to accumulate enough for the next breakthrough.

At present, the 50,000 points of affection seem like an insurmountable chasm to him, making it seem very difficult to overcome.

Just yesterday, he was thinking about whether he should add a few more women to help him break through faster.

But Zhuang Qing's resentful expression last night was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, making him suddenly much more awake.

"Lin Nanxi, Zhuang Qing, and He Jingxuan are all good women who are devoted to me wholeheartedly."

"I would feel guilty for hurting them. After all, I'm too sentimental. Sigh."

"Mu Lanyan, and Sister Fu, the reason I haven't dared to act rashly is because I don't want to hurt them."

"Is there a way to continue gaining more love points without making me feel guilty? If so, I should be able to accept something new."

Wei Lin pondered this deeply.

After thinking about it for a long time, a thought suddenly struck him, and he exclaimed softly, "Damn it, bad women are fine too!"

Is it possible to develop a relationship with a woman like Lin Ping, whose motives are impure but who clearly shows signs of affection?
Let her also develop strong feelings of love, and let her silently contribute love points, since it's love points anyway!

Wei Lin had previously resisted Lin Ping because he knew Lin Ping was difficult to deal with and might cause trouble for him.

Deep down, he looked down on women like Lin Ping.

"All I want is her affection points. I'll conquer her and make her provide those points! As for her, even if things come to light in the future, I won't feel any guilt!"

"Anyway, she came to me of her own accord, and she had ulterior motives, hoping that I could help her in some way."

"I'll help her with other things, and she'll give me her love in return, isn't that worth it? The less I love her, the more I look down on her from the bottom of my heart, the less of a psychological burden I feel!"

Wei Lin suddenly cleared his mind.

Next, he considered whether there were any other options besides Lin Ping.

Ling Yao, Liu Yue!
Both women showed signs of affection for him, so they were naturally interested in him, especially Ling Yao.

Ling Yao knew he had Shen Yanfei and Lin Nanxi, yet she repeatedly invited him out, revealing her desire to take things further.

What is Ling Yao asking for?
It's nothing more than material compensation!

If he could win over Ling Yao and have her continuously shower him with affection points, and all he had to do was spend some money, it would be worth it no matter how you looked at it.

After all, he's not short of money right now, and Ling Yao wouldn't ask for too much.

“If it’s just about giving money, that’s perfectly feasible! I can use money to exchange for her affection points without feeling guilty, and she knows I have other women, so she won’t make a fuss.”

Where is Liu Yue?

“She kept saying I was a scumbag, and she and Hua Hongshan were best friends, yet she developed feelings for me.”

"I already dislike this woman. Anyway, she's no good. Even if I hooked up with her, I wouldn't feel guilty afterward."

"I won't touch good women; it will only make me feel bad and have a negative impact on me."

"If they're bad women, as long as they can contribute love points, I might as well take them all down one by one."

With a change of perspective, Wei Lin suddenly had a breakthrough.

He took out his phone, opened his chat with Ling Yao, and saw that Ling Yao had been trying to make plans with him.

He rarely responded. Lin Ping, needless to say, had already cornered him at the gym several times and mentioned wanting to eat out with him multiple times.

There was no news from Liu Yue, but while he was on a business trip with Hua Hongshan in Shanghai, Gong Xi's favorability towards Liu Yue increased day by day.

"They all have a chance!"

……

Irina Beauty Center.

The beautician's lounge.

Ling Yao and her colleague Li Ling had just finished their work and were resting and chatting when they returned.

Li Ling, wearing heavy makeup, is thirty-five years old this year and still unmarried. She belongs to the picky type who is neither too good for others nor too good for herself.

"Yao, do you know what happened with Qian Tong just now?"

Li Ling leaned closer to the makeup mirror, continuing to apply makeup, and casually remarked.

"Doesn't Sister Qian run a small supermarket? Her mother works with her, and I heard that the supermarket is doing quite well, isn't that right?"

Ling Yao asked curiously.

Qian Tong and her mother Liu Bing were both customers of Li Ling. Previously, she had been pulled by Li Ling to serve Liu Bing.

Qian Tong, dressed in designer clothes, was arrogant and wouldn't even give a second glance to a beautician like her. She would order her and Li Ling around doing this and that all the time.

If it weren't for the fact that she had fewer customers lately, she wouldn't want to serve Qian Tong and Liu Bing, to avoid getting upset.

"Qian Tong is actually a mistress. She's with a big boss, I think his name is... President Zhao."

Li Ling turned her head and looked at Ling Yao, saying, "I overheard her chatting with her mother outside the door. Her small supermarket was probably opened for her by that Mr. Zhao, who also bought her a Mercedes."

Ling Yao was startled: "Her mother knows too?"

Li Ling nodded and chuckled, "What's the big deal? In this world, people laugh at poverty but not prostitution. Qian Tong is almost thirty, what does she want from a man who's almost sixty? Isn't it just money?"

Ling Yao felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Thirty years older? I can't do that!"

"If you're after someone's money, why be picky?" Li Ling sighed and said, "I've just had bad luck with men. A few years ago, I met several who kept saying they'd marry me, but..."

Shaking her head, Li Ling continued, "In the end, I didn't see the person, and I didn't even see the money. Sigh. I'm already thirty-five in the blink of an eye. Now I just want to find a rich older man, but no one even looks at me anymore!"

Ling Yao remained silent.

Li Ling got excited at the mention of this, saying, "Yao, you should take advantage of your youth and beauty to hook up with people or make money! Our beauty salon serves women, it's a waste of your talents here! You should switch to an institution with men, and meet more rich men!"

"With your qualifications, as long as you take a little initiative, you can definitely find a rich man!"

"Yao, listen to my advice, a woman's prime is right now! If you wait a few more years, when you're almost thirty, it will be too late!"

Li Ling patiently guided him.

Ling Yao shuddered and shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Sister Ling, I can't do it! I'd feel disgusted serving those old men in their fifties or sixties!"

"Heh, what's the big deal? As long as they're willing to pay!" Li Ling scoffed, then revealed another secret: "Do you know how our CEO Zhou from Irina rose to power?"

"President Zhou? Zhou Rong?" Ling Yao was surprised again.

She regards Zhou Rong as her idol, believing that she is a true strong woman who has opened several Irina stores and amassed a fortune of hundreds of millions through her own abilities.

Upon hearing that Zhou Rong also had a secret, she immediately became excited.

“When President Zhou was young, he also dated a big boss, who was also married!” Li Ling snorted and said, “I heard this from one of my wealthy older sisters. We are of low status and don’t know about these things, but in upper-class circles, it’s no secret at all!”

Ling Yao's worldview was turned upside down, and she asked softly, "Really?"

"of course it's true!"

Li Ling lowered her voice, afraid of being overheard by people walking outside, and said, "President Zhou's success today is all thanks to that big boss's support and assistance! Otherwise, how could she, a woman, have built such a large company like Irina?"

"And now?" Ling Yao asked again.

"They broke up a long time ago," Li Ling said with a smile. "Later, after President Zhou built up her business, she broke up with that guy. Now she has plenty of money and goes to male model clubs all the time, having a great time!"

"Older men are just stepping stones for powerful women! They can use their connections to make some money to build up their own businesses, and then kick them to the curb."

After saying this, Li Ling checked the time and said, "I'm going to get back to work."

After she left, Ling Yao sat alone for a long time, lost in thought.

"jingle!"

Her phone suddenly rang, startling her from her deep thoughts. A WeChat message flashed on the screen.

Wei Lin: "Are you free? I'd like to come over for a physical therapy session?"

Ling Yao's beautiful eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, "I'm free! When are you coming?"

Wei Lin: "Now."

Ling Yao: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After typing those words, she immediately got excited and, just like Li Ling before her, took out a small makeup mirror and started applying makeup to her face in front of the mirror.
