A familiar voice came from behind her. Qiao Luo thought she was hallucinating, but when she turned around, she realized that it really was Gu Qiyan.

Qiao Luo was quite surprised to see Gu Qiyan in such a remote place on the outskirts of the city so early in the morning.

But besides the unexpected, she also felt some fear and apprehension, after all, the events of that night were still vivid in her mind.

Unsure whether Gu Qiyan's sudden appearance was intentional or a coincidence, Qiao Luo felt it was best to keep her distance from him.

Before Gu Qiyan could get close, she quickly walked towards the Chengji Building across the street, which was also where she was going.

But Gu Qiyan was a man after all, and with long arms and legs, so before Qiao Luo could shake him off, he caught up with her from behind and grabbed her arm.

Qiao Luo had no choice but to stop.

"Gu Qiyan, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? I should be asking you what you're doing. You run away as soon as you see me. Are you feeling guilty?"

Gu Qiyan's words clearly had a hidden meaning.

Qiao Luo retorted, "What do I have to be ashamed of? On the contrary, it's you who showed up where you shouldn't have. Who knows if you deliberately followed me here?"

Gu Qiyan stared at her and sneered, "You're right."

Qiao Luo was incredulous. She had only casually teased him, but she hadn't expected it to actually be true.

"Are you following me?"

"What's wrong with me following you?"

"Are you... are you a pervert?"

Qiao Luo felt a chill run down her spine.

Gu Qiyan snorted coldly, "Even if I became a pervert, it was because you forced me to."

"What does your perverted behavior have to do with me?" Qiao Luo refused to take the blame. Seeing Gu Qiyan approaching her step by step, she realized something was wrong and turned to run, but Gu Qiyan caught her.

“If your stepmother hadn’t come to my house and made a scene that day, I wouldn’t have been ridiculed by the neighbors. Now all the neighbors know that I’ve been kicked out by you.”

Gu Qiyan became angrier as he spoke. If Qiao Luo's stepmother hadn't come to his house that day to ask his parents for the bride price, his parents would never have known that Qiao Luo and he had broken up. They wouldn't have gotten into a fight with her stepmother out of anger, and the neighbors wouldn't have found out, making it the subject of their gossip.

"Do you know what they've been saying about me behind my back? They say I'm a toad trying to eat swan meat. Qiao Luo, even though my family isn't well-off, I'm good-looking and have a job. What makes me unworthy of you?"

A sharp pain shot through Qiao Luo's wrist as he gripped it. She felt as if he was about to break it. She tried to break free, but he was too strong. She wanted to call for help, but the place was desolate, with only that one building and not a soul in sight.

“Your stepmother asked me for 100,000. You’re only worth 100,000 to me. I’d like to see how much you’re worth to him.”

Qiao Luo was still struggling to break free, but she was stunned when she heard this.

"Him? Who are you referring to?"

Her face was full of vigilance.

Gu Qiyan took in the tension on her face and scoffed, "Why are you so nervous? Don't you know who I'm referring to?"

"you……"

“I followed your car that day, wanting to see where you were taking him. Qiao Luo, you must have been very disappointed that we couldn’t go.”

Qiao Luo found it hard to believe.

Was it really you that day?

"That's right, I deliberately cut you off, hoping to ditch me and have fun with someone else. Why didn't you ask me if I agreed?"

"you……"

"Didn't you say you'd rather marry a cripple than me? Today I'll show you just how much you're worth in that cripple's eyes."

As Gu Qiyan spoke, he pulled Qiao Luo into the car before she could react.
