"I'm innocent! I want to see Qi Xinxin! She said she liked me just a few days ago! And she even wanted to come to my house!"

"She was the one who initiated the pursuit of me, and now she's playing me for a fool."

"Does being rich give you the right to toy with other people's feelings?"

The police thought he was talking nonsense.

"He actively pursued you? Who do you think you are?"

Are you incredibly wealthy or as handsome as Pan An?

"The Qi family is so rich, why would they need to pursue you?"

They're not afraid of biting off more than they can chew when they talk big.

Everyone looked disgusted, and Zhou Dalong was furious, insisting that he had been wronged.

He even claimed that Qi Xinxin had harmed him, deliberately setting a trap to force him to submit, wanting him to marry her.

The police officers, seeing that his words were becoming increasingly outrageous, no longer wanted to listen.

But Zhou Dalong insisted that he was innocent, and said that if he died unjustly, his mother would never let them off the hook.

The school leaders will not let them off the hook either.

Zhou Dalong's university was quite good; the police inquired and found that the teachers there had a pretty good opinion of him.

Everyone says he studies diligently and is a motivated and good student.

Since the police had no factual evidence of his crime, they naturally had to release him.

The first thing Zhou Dalong did after he got out was to settle scores with Qi Xinxin.

This woman actually harmed him like this, he will definitely not let her get away with it!

He needs to figure out a way to get Qi Xinxin to come out.

It's best to let the rice cook until it's half-cooked; I bet she'll marry him then.

They'll have to buy him a house and a car! Otherwise, they'll ruin the Qi family's reputation.

Zhou Dalong's lips curled into a sinister smile.

He will not let anyone who dares to humiliate him get away with it.

Qi Xinxin originally thought that Zhou Dalong would be scared out of his wits after being arrested once and would not dare to make a move on her again.

One day while shopping, I unexpectedly ran into him in a women's clothing store.

These days, Zhou Dalong did nothing but follow Qi Xinxin.

This woman used to drive herself.

She's been driven around by a chauffeur every day; she's really living the life of a pampered young lady.

But it didn't matter; he remembered the license plate number and followed the car several times.

Finally, I saw the car parked at the women's clothing store.

They went there immediately.

When Qi Xinxin saw him again, her illusions suddenly vanished.

Previously, I thought Zhou Dalong had regular features and a scholarly air about him when he held a book.

Looking at him now, you can see the scheming in his eyes.

Qi Xinxin took a step back in disgust. "You're pretending to bump into me again?"

Did you think she would fall for it?

Zhou Dalong's face turned green.

He harbored resentment in his heart, but he had to appear innocent on his face.

"Xin Xin, I don't know who told you what, but I really have no ill intentions towards you."

"You know I'm an honest person, I don't understand those complicated things. If I've offended you in any way, just tell me and I'll correct it, okay?"

He pretended to be a pitiful and honest man, hoping to soften Qi Xinxin's heart.

Qi Xinxin naturally wouldn't soften her heart.

During that time, I had a conflict with my family because of a blind date, and my mind was in a mess, which is why I was deceived by Zhou Dalong.

Now that her family has stopped pressuring her to go on blind dates, and she has seen through Zhou Dalong's true colors, how could she possibly be fooled by him again?

"What your purpose is is not important, and it has nothing to do with me anyway."

"But please remember, I am not someone you can outmaneuver."

"If you dare to scheme against me again, the Qi family will not be easy to deal with."

Zhou Dalong's heart skipped a beat; he hadn't expected that this naive girl would know all this.

But he couldn't give up and continued acting.

His lips were trembling, and he looked heartbroken and distressed.

"Xin Xin, how could you suddenly become so heartless? Have you forgotten that we said we would travel the world together?"

"I know you're angry that I didn't confess my feelings to you and made you wait so long."

"But I was afraid that my family was too poor to be good enough for you, so I didn't dare to confess my feelings."

"I truly love you, Xin Xin, please be with me."

As he spoke, he reached out to take Qi Xinxin's hand.

The bodyguards immediately came over and blocked him.

Zhou Dalong wanted him to get lost, but the bodyguard showed off his big muscles, saying he could kill him with one punch, so Zhou Dalong immediately backed away.

"Xin Xin~ I really like you, I mean it."

"I've always wanted to become a better person so I can be worthy of you. Please give me a chance."

Qi Xinxin watched his performance like she was watching a clown.

"Alright, it's just a few chance encounters, there's no deep affection involved."

"If feelings are that easy to express, how many people would I have to love?"

"Besides, so what if you like me? I don't like you."

"Should I tell you myself that I like you?"

Zhou Dalong paused.

Yes, Qi Xinxin never said she liked him.

She never asked him to take her home.

She only had a vague liking for him, but never took it any further.

Ultimately, it comes down to him not being proactive enough.

Knowing that being reserved would lead nowhere, I should have been more clingy.

Zhou Dalong explained, "I know you're feeling down because of your family situation. I can comfort you. I've always been your good friend, haven't I?"

Since we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, let's start as friends.

Qi Xinxin sneered, "Friends? You?"

She gave Zhou Dalong a disdainful look from head to toe.

"I don't need someone as useless and scheming as a friend as you."

“My surname is Qi. Any outstanding rich second-generation in Shanghai can be my friend, but you are not qualified.”

Zhou Dalong never expected her to be so materialistic.

And they still humiliated him like this.

His face contorted with rage.

"Qi Xinxin! Do you think you're so great just because you have money?"
