Thinking back, Li Bin realized he'd been too hasty. Who gropes a girl right after stepping into her house? He hadn't followed the proper steps for seduction, hadn't tested the waters with gradual advances, and went straight for her tits—a major PUA no-no.
This was a mistake born of overconfidence and impatience. But based on Li Bin's experience, giving Yu Yinyan 300,000 yuan for her dad's treatment should've made her tolerate some advances, at least.
She shouldn't have exploded so quickly, rejecting the lifesaving 300,000 and telling him to get lost…
"Could it… have been the LV bag? … They say bags cure all, so why didn't it work on Yu Yinyan…" Li Bin suddenly recalled the LV bag she'd thrown at him! He thought back to Yu Yinyan's weaknesses and preferences.
Then it hit him—according to the system's hints, Yu Yinyan wasn't driven by money. Her relationship with Du Bin was partly because he promised to marry her properly and let her manage his family's factory, solving her job issue. More importantly, it was due to her parents' pressure and her desperate need to save her father's life.
In reality, Yu Yinyan's desire for money wasn't strong, and she had no interest in luxury goods! A literary girl like her couldn't be handled like most women.
Buying her a bag only exposed his ulterior motives, making her feel he was sleazy. It disgusted an idealistic, artsy girl like Yu Yinyan, who scorned worldly materialism and chased lofty elegance.
Naturally, she was biased against the things materialistic, shallow women loved.
So, the bag not only failed to help his conquest but backfired! "Women's hearts are like needles at the bottom of the sea—impossible to fathom! This time, I fell into the trap of overconfidence. Gotta learn from this!" Li Bin muttered, roughly understanding his mistake.
Most women adored luxury goods, willing to sell their kidneys or bodies for them, becoming escorts or mistresses. But that didn't mean every woman was like that.
Yu Yinyan, at least, despised luxury goods, favoring highbrow, artsy nonsense as a delusional literary girl.
So, for a quirky literary girl like Yu Yinyan, gifts had to be unique! Li Bin racked his brain, plotting.
Yu Yinyan liked romantic, refined, eloquent, and talented men.
Vulgar gifts were out of the question! Gifts had to showcase his sophistication, romance, and talent to move her, making her feel she'd met a kindred spirit, her destined soulmate! For a self-righteous, conceited literary girl like Yu Yinyan, luxury goods only sparked disgust and disdain for their tackiness.
Thus, Li Bin ruled out luxury goods for this conquest.
Practical gifts like clothes, shoes, or food were also nixed! After much thought, Li Bin decided to hit the Yiwu small goods market in the mall's basement, specifically the ten-yuan section, to pick out a few gifts! With his system-granted literary mastery, his artistic prowess far surpassed ordinary people.
Even Yu Yinyan, a Chinese lit grad from a 985 university, was no match for him.
So, the gift itself didn't matter, nor did its price.
What mattered was that it be elegant, romantic, and reflect his artistic flair and overflowing talent! Realizing this, Li Bin felt a sudden clarity.
After some Browse, he bought a quirky perfume bottle, an hourglass filled with sand, a frame with a few maple leaves, and two bald monk clay figurines.
These were cheap trinkets from the Yiwu market's ten-yuan section, mostly junk ignored by shoppers.
At the counter, the four items cost just 30 yuan, with the seller knocking off 10 yuan.
Wiping the slightly grimy gifts with a wet wipe, Li Bin grinned mischievously, pleased with his haul.
"Not bad—30 yuan instead of a 30,000-yuan LV bag. That's a huge saving!" Li Bin felt smug about his sudden inspiration.
He wasn't sure if these would move Yu Yinyan, but the 30,000 yuan saved could buy lobster or ribs—way tastier!
With gifts ready and his presentation speech rehearsed in his mind, Li Bin started the car and headed to Yu Yinyan's place.
