I'm such a lovesick person.

Chapter 536 I can’t hide it anymore
Four p.m.

Irina Beauty Center, VIP Room.

Feeling down and exhausted from work, Lin Nanxi took some time to come for a body therapy session, lying on the massage bed to receive services from a stranger.

"Is Xiaoling no longer with your company?"

With her eyes closed, she felt that the massage therapist's pressure was not quite right, and she couldn't help but think of Ling Yao, saying, "I made an appointment with her before I came, but she said she doesn't do body massages anymore."

Zhang Meng smiled wryly and said sourly, "She's climbed the social ladder now. She's no longer a beautician here, but one of the company's shareholders."

Both being beauticians, Zhang Meng's looks and skills are far inferior to Ling Yao's, and she rarely gets clients.

She was jealous of Ling Yao and often gossiped behind her back, caring a great deal about the various rumors about Ling Yao.

Upon learning that Ling Yao had been mentored by a benefactor and become one of Irina's bosses, and was being taken by Zhou Rong to learn from advanced peer companies, she was naturally extremely envious.

After inquiring around and learning about Ling Yao's opportunities, she felt a surge of bitterness welling up inside her.

"What? She's become one of your shareholders?"

Lin Nanxi was very surprised and couldn't help but open her eyes, saying, "I've talked to her a few times, and her family's financial situation isn't particularly good. How come she has the money to invest in your organization?"

Zhang Meng pursed her lips, continuing to rub her scalp, and whispered, "I heard she has a client named Mr. Wei, who seems to be a good friend of Boss Zhou. This Mr. Wei is very rich and handsome. He must have been seduced by her, so he gave some money to Boss Zhou and made her one of the company's shareholders."

Lin Nanxi was completely stunned.

She had just heard that Wei Lin and the young lady of Qifeng Hat Industry seemed to be in a romantic relationship, and before she could fully process this news, Ling Yao suddenly appeared.

Ling Yao had served her many times; she was indeed young and beautiful, with a pair of sexy, straight, long legs.

Even compared to her, Ling Yao's beauty is no less striking. Most importantly, Ling Yao is very young, with a face full of youth and vitality, which is indeed very attractive.

"What does that Mr. Wei do?"

Lin Nanxi pressed on, unwilling to give up.

Zhang Meng glanced at the doorway, lowered her voice even further, and said, "President Wei seems to own several companies, involved in clothing and hats, and apparently also in investment."

Upon hearing this, Lin Nanxi finally confirmed it, and her eyes became unfocused.

She knew that Wei Lin was always generous, and since he could spend so much money on her, he would definitely be willing to spend money on Ling Yao as well.

Many people in society talk a good game, but when it comes to actually spending money, their true colors are often revealed.

Thinking about Wei Lin's actions, she suddenly felt that she might be another Ling Yao, also treated as a caged bird by Wei Lin.

"Zhuang Qing, Ling Yao, and who else?"

Overwhelmed by grief and anguish, Lin Nanxi refused to believe Wei Lin's explanation any longer.

……

5:30, Emerald Garden.

Distracted, Lin Nanxi returned to the large apartment that Wei Lin had bought for her after finishing her treatment, and paced back and forth between the rooms.

The apartment was very close to the company, and she repeatedly refused, but Wei Lin insisted on giving it to her.

She once regarded it as her and Wei Lin's marital home. After acquiring it, she had it decorated by someone else, fantasizing about having children with Wei Lin there in the future.

"What's the use of a big house?"

Lin Nanxi murmured to herself, suddenly remembering that small apartment, feeling that it seemed a bit more cozy there.

"what should I do?"

"Should I tell him that I know about him and Ling Yao? Tell him that I find it hard to believe that he and Zhuang Qing are not together?"

"Or should we pretend we know nothing?"

Lin Nanxi felt lost and confused, as if the sky had fallen.

Wei Lin truly gave her a great deal and helped her immensely, almost everything she could ever dream of. He helped her change jobs, helped her start her own advertising company, found clients for her everywhere, bought her a house, and showered her with expensive gifts.

She was overjoyed, thinking it was Wei Lin's way of showing his love for her, and felt incredibly lucky.

But now, when she learns that she is not the only lucky one like herself, she finds it hard to feel happy.

“He’s lying to me. He’s been lying to me all along. Maybe he’s been lying to me from the very beginning. He still sees me as just a friend he can have fun with.”

Lin Nanxi was heartbroken, feeling as if her mental support had collapsed, and she huddled in her room, sobbing.

……

another side.

After finishing his boxing workout at the gym, Wei Lin, who was showering and changing, noticed a decrease in his affection level.

By focusing his consciousness on the love value progress bar, he glimpsed the scene of Lin Nanxi chatting with a stranger at the Irina Beauty Center that afternoon.

"broken!"

Wei Lin instantly understood the problem.

He dressed as quickly as possible, told He Jingxuan at the door that there was an urgent matter at the company, and then drove straight to Lin Nanxi's large apartment.

Along the way, various thoughts and ideas flashed through his mind.

Is there any chance of salvaging the situation?

"She heard the news from Zhuang Qing first, and then from Ling Yao. It's hard for her to trust me anymore. If I sever all the relationships she knows about because of her, will it eventually make her forgive me?"

"Does this mean it will be harder for me to gain affection points?"

"I haven't reached the threshold for the next breakthrough yet. Even if I have to abandon the system, I still have to get to that point!"

Wei Lin remained lost in thought.

……

six thirty.

Wei Lin stood in front of the large apartment, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and stepped straight inside.

"Who?"

The sound of the door being pushed open startled the woman who was hiding in the bedroom, sobbing. She screamed in terror.

"it's me."

Wei Lin raised his voice in response, then changed into slippers, put down his handbag, and went to the water purifier in the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water, which he then gulped down.

Unlike any other time, Lin Nanxi did not rush out excitedly, but remained silent in the room.

"Hey."

Wei Lin sighed inwardly, put down his water glass, and walked into the bedroom. He immediately saw Lin Nanxi with disheveled hair and red, swollen eyes from crying.

Knowing what had happened, he looked at Lin Nanxi with guilt in his heart and eyes.

"Wei Lin, I, I..."

Lin Nanxi opened her mouth, her voice trembling violently, and said with a strong sob in her voice, "I just went for a body treatment and found a beautician I didn't know. I, I..."

She kept repeating "I, I, I," but never got to the point; her face was filled with sorrow and helplessness.

Despite his heartache, Wei Lin was unwilling to continue lying to her and said softly, "I know you've heard some things. I won't lie to you anymore; they're all true."

Lin Nanxi finally broke down, sobbing and crying, "Why? Why won't you lie to me anymore? I'd rather you keep lying to me!"
