575: Su Qingge awakens, it turns out I am a weak girl~~~

“Based on my many years of experience…”

“Many men inherently possess a strong sense of male chauvinism.”

“They yearn to show off in front of women, to gain their adoring gazes, and thus achieve inner satisfaction.”

“If a woman’s aura is too strong, if she is too outstanding in every aspect, completely overshadowing the man she loves…”

“It can easily backfire and be counterproductive.”

“Because men will feel inferior, like Alexander the Great.”

“…We women don’t necessarily have to be stunningly beautiful, or exceptionally capable, or incredibly thrifty and good at managing a household, and so on…”

“But remember, you must provide emotional value to men, making their emotions fluctuate because of you.”

“Cry for you, laugh for you, go crazy for you, make a fuss for you~~~”

“Only then will their brains secrete large amounts of dopamine, making them dependent on you, creating a heartbeat that says they can’t live without you…”

“…”

Xiao Tao, shaking her head, like a life mentor, poured out all her insights on love from over the years.

Su Qingge listened, utterly stunned.

In all these years, no one had ever discussed these things in depth with her.

As an emotional novice, suddenly encountering such profound knowledge of love, her mind was naturally filled with question marks???

Being too outstanding, could it actually be a flaw?

Inferiority?

Had A Xuan really felt inferior and under great pressure during their time together?

And what about this ’emotional value’? What about the brain secreting dopamine?

Was love such a complicated matter after all?

Did it not only involve chemical reactions? Did one even have to study psychology???

Su Qingge looked bewildered.

But a certain inexplicable glint in her beautiful eyes suddenly grew brighter.

Although she didn’t quite understand, she felt it sounded incredibly profound~~~~

Especially when she heard it could make Lin Xuan dependent on her, create a feeling of being indispensable, make him cry for her, laugh for her, go crazy for her, make a fuss for her~~~~~

Su Qingge couldn’t help but get excited.

She unconsciously sat up straight, eagerly asking, “What… what should I do?”

“First, you must learn to show weakness.”

“Show weakness?”

Su Qingge furrowed her beautiful willow-like eyebrows, muttering to herself.

“Uh… To put it more directly…”

“It means you have to arouse Mr. Lin’s protective instincts, actively show your vulnerable side, and make Mr. Lin genuinely feel for you.”

“…”

This time, Su Qingge was completely stunned.

Ever since her family’s incident, she had always presented herself with a strong and cold demeanor.

No matter how great the difficulty, she would privately grit her teeth, dealing with everything with a decisive and efficient work style on the surface.

Because she knew that relying on others was not as good as relying on herself; she could only depend on herself.

Even in front of Lin Xuan, she had never fully let down her guard and shown her most vulnerable side.

But now… Xiao Tao wanted her to be like a hedgehog, shedding her protective quills and exposing her soft, vulnerable belly… Seeing Su Qingge’s hesitation, Xiao Tao’s expression grew serious as she offered her unique insights… “Boss, think about it yourself…”

“Why do those seductive hussies, those fake sweethearts, those white lotuses, so easily string men along?”

“Isn’t it because they are good at disguising themselves?”

“They always pretend to be delicate and frail, constantly crying with tear-streaked faces, calling out ‘giegie’ in a cutesy voice…”

“…In our eyes, those women are affected and utterly disgusting; we wish we could slap them a few times.”

“But men just fall for it, don’t they?! They just rush to be their simps!”

“Conversely, if you act too strong and independent, solving everything yourself—installing lightbulbs, opening packages, carrying water jugs…”

“Men will only find it vulgar, feel they lose face, and feel they have no opportunity to show off.”

“…I say! Women should act a bit more delicate, speak up when they’re wronged, and actively seek help from men.”

“Only then can you ignite their inherent protective instincts and make them care for you.”

“Afterward, if you thank them with grateful, adoring eyes, men will naturally be foolishly happy for a long time.”

“…Of course, [pity] is just one emotion to manipulate men.”

“Later, there are [worry], [gratitude], [fear of loss], and so on…”

“Boss, I’ll teach you those slowly later.”

“For now, you only need to master the technique of making Mr. Lin feel for you.”

“You used to be too independent and excellent. No matter what you did, Mr. Lin always felt you could do it on your own, which is not right.”

“Boss, you have to make Mr. Lin actively invest! Even if his investment is just his emotions—his joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—that’s fine…”

“Only when the sunk cost of his investment is greater will a man be more reluctant to leave you. Because he will feel unwilling, feeling he suffered a great loss psychologically.”

“…Human relationships are just like that; the one who gives the most is always manipulated by the other.”

“There’s a saying, ‘The favored one is always fearless.’”

“You need to first change your image as a strong woman in Mr. Lin’s mind.”

“You have to let him know you are a woman, that you have a vulnerable side, to ignite his protective instincts.”

“Only when he feels for you! Then, at least for a short time…”

“His attention will be entirely on you; he will revolve around you every day, caring for you and looking after you.”

“…”

Facing Xiao Tao’s lengthy discourse on “man-slaying” techniques.

Su Qingge was almost completely bewildered throughout, feeling as if she had opened up a new world.

However, even though she was mostly confused, Su Qingge understood only the very last sentence.

As long as she made A Xuan feel for her, then at least for a short time… A Xuan’s attention would always be on her, he would revolve around her every day, caring for her, looking after her… This… wasn’t this the scenario she had always dreamed of?!!!

If she could be cared for by A Xuan, it seemed… it was almost… even more desirable than heaven itself… Even if it was just for a moment, Su Qingge felt she would be joyful and content.

“Then what should I do?”

“So A Xuan will feel for me?”

“…”

Su Qingge gradually understood Xiao Tao’s words, and was already eager to make Lin Xuan feel for her and protect her… Xiao Tao was right… She used to be too independent, always wanting to do everything herself, not wanting to trouble Lin Xuan.

Could this, without her realizing it, have given A Xuan the wrong impression that she didn’t need him???

No, she had to make A Xuan feel that she needed him, that she couldn’t do without him… Through recalling memories of various female colleagues her age.

Su Qingge increasingly felt that Xiao Tao’s words had some truth to them.

Those delicate, cry-prone, and drama-loving young women in the workplace.

Men would always look at them with heartfelt concern, more willing to actively help them.

While some strong and cold women, with neat short hair, emphasizing gender equality, often shouting slogans like “rely on yourself,” “women should be strong,” “who says women are inferior to men”… men either kept their distance or ended up as good brothers.

As the saying goes:

The crying baby gets the milk, the sensible child gets no affection.

This truth, even a newborn baby understood, how had she only realized it now?

Su Qingge sighed inwardly, feeling a bit annoyed.

She finally recognized her “true self”… Strength was just her disguise.

In reality, she was just a fragile girl who couldn’t even support a willow, lacked the strength to tie a chicken, and needed a man’s constant care… Mm-hmm, that’s exactly it… So.

Su Qingge raised her clear, beautiful eyes and stared intently at Xiao Tao’s bun.

Waiting for her to offer an idea, so A Xuan would actively “feel for” her delicate self…
