My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 14

The Phone Call and the Cheque

“Hello, Granny—”

The call connected, and Guan Xiaoyu called out softly.

Although she had closed the door, she was still worried her parents might hear her.

“How did it go?”

“Nothing happened.”

“You stayed at her house all night, and you actually have the nerve to tell me nothing happened!”

On the other end of the line, the old lady’s words were very harsh.

“I can’t force her, can I?” Guan Xiaoyu spoke very quietly, her tone full of grievance.

“Why can’t you? I often wonder, are you really an S-class Omega?”

“I am, yes, isn’t it clearly written on the differentiation report—”

“Is that my main point?!” Tang Qiwu pressed her left hand against her temple, trying her best to control her voice so as not to scare her most beloved granddaughter into tears again. “My main point is—” She hadn’t intended to explain, but if she didn’t, Guan Xiaoyu probably wouldn’t understand, “You are an S-class Omega, and if you just released a little bit of pheromone, wouldn’t dealing with that little girl be a piece of cake!”

“But Sister Li said she’s afraid of my pheromones!”

“So what—what did you two do all last night, look at the stars and the moon?”

“Well, we actually did look at the moon!”

“Hiss!” If she didn’t know what her granddaughter was like, Tang Qiwu felt like she would have coughed up old blood.

“Granny, is it really okay?”

“If you don’t believe Granny, then don’t come crying to me again! Just listen to your parents and go on blind dates.”

“I don’t want to!”

“And you still have the nerve to cry?!”

“I’m not crying.”

“Wipe away your tears immediately!”

Guan Xiaoyu obediently pulled out a tissue and wiped away the tears that had been pouring down. “Granny, actually, you can’t say nothing happened; we slept together last night.”

“And the result?”

“It’s just that nothing happened.”

“You don’t think that just by sleeping together, something will happen without you doing anything, do you?”

Tang Qiwu really couldn’t understand this generation of young people—they could sleep together and allow nothing to happen.

“Let’s take it slow. I think this matter shouldn’t be rushed.”

“If you think you have time to take it slow, then suit yourself.”

“Granny, is it really okay?”

“If I said it wasn’t okay, would you… give up?”

“No.”

“Then you better try harder!”

With a beep, the phone on the other end hung up.

Guan Xiaoyu’s door was then knocked on, and she was startled.

Based on the knock, it should be her sister.

Hmph, a day late and a dollar short! She always pretends to be good in front of their parents and then comes to comfort her afterward.

“I’m taking a nap,” she said angrily and loudly toward the door.

The door clicked and was opened. The aloof and indifferent Guan Xiaoyan walked in.

She walked unhurriedly to the bedside, looking at her sister who was buried under the blanket.

“Dad sent someone to find Li Fangge,” her voice carried a coldness, the tone flat, without any fluctuation.

Guan Xiaoyu suddenly pulled back the quilt and immediately sat up. “What for?”

“What do you think?”

“Since you’re going to tell me, don’t be secretive.”

“Are you really that fond of Li Fangge?”

“Yes.”

“Dad sent someone to deliver a cheque to her.”

“You—”

Guan Xiaoyu was too angry to speak, her entire face flushed red.

Guan Xiaoyan didn’t say anything more and turned to leave. Guan Xiaoyu made punching and kicking gestures at her sister’s retreating back.

On the other side, the cheque sent by the Guan family was currently clutched in Li Fangge’s hand. She lowered her eyes and looked at the amount, filled up to the hundreds of millions. This automobile magnate, in order to get her to break off the engagement with Guan Xiaoyu, had acted decisively and generously.

She immediately raised her head and expressionlessly handed the cheque back to the suited man. “Please tell Mr. Guan, I have no reason to accept this cheque.”

“Miss Li, considering your current situation, Mr. Guan suggests—”

“My current situation has nothing to do with Mr. Guan.”

“Has Miss Li thought this over?”

“Yes. Please feel free to leave.”

After the two men sent by Guan Zhao left with the cheque,

Li Fangge came back to her senses. When she was clutching that cheque, to say she wasn’t tempted at all would be a lie.

Although the debt wasn’t her biggest crisis, it wasn’t a small one either. In the current situation, there was no way she could earn hundreds of millions in a short period, and the high-interest loans were snowballing every day—

But once she accepted, it would mean she was once again negating herself; it would mean she was fundamentally no different from the Scumbag Alpha.

The detail of sending the cheque didn’t appear in the novel.

However, the Scumbag Alpha’s unscrupulous methods of scraping up money were written about extensively in the novel.

It could be said that it was gambling and money that gradually pushed her onto the path of utter ruin.

“Miss Heguo has changed.”

A dry voice suddenly came from behind, and Li Fangge, immersed in her thoughts, turned her head.

“What nonsense are you talking about!” she chided, though she knew what the other person meant.

Chen Qiaoyi did not reply.

As Li Fangge went upstairs, Guan Xiaoyu’s call came in.

“Sister Li!”

The liquid-like voice came through.

In the Scumbag Alpha’s phone, Guan Xiaoyu’s contact note was “Clingy Fiancee.”

Hearing the other person call her “Sister,” Li Fangge’s heart inexplicably warmed. The Scumbag Alpha’s disdain for Guan Xiaoyu from a long time ago resurfaced, but now, looking at that contact note brought a different feeling.

“What is it?” She actually knew what she wanted to say.

“The people my dad sent—”

“They just left.”

“I’m sorry.”

Guan Xiaoyu didn’t ask if she had accepted her father’s cheque.

There was a sense of trust in her tone, a “I know Sister Li wouldn’t accept” feeling,

This made Li Fangge feel gratified. The feeling of being understood and trusted was always so grounding.

“Why are you apologizing?”

“My dad’s actions are very childish.”

“That’s how adults do things.”

“We are adults too, but we don’t do things that way.”

“You don’t need to apologize; you didn’t do it.”

“Thank you, Sister Li.”

“For what?”

“I understand why Sister has been avoiding me all these years. And I can also understand why Sister—”

“Is addicted to gambling?”

“Mhm.” Guan Xiaoyu sounded very cautious. After a pause, she continued, “I don’t know if this is the right way to put it—”

“Go ahead.”

“It’s just—Sister might be unhappy if I say it,”

“If I’m unhappy, will you not say it?”

“I’ll say it even if Sister is unhappy. It’s just, Sister has been avoiding things for so many years; you should know that avoidance leads nowhere. So, I want to ask Sister to try a different way, to face reality, to face you and me. Let’s face it together—”

“You—”

There’s no need to drag yourself into this mess of mine.

She still couldn’t bring herself to say these words! Li Fangge felt as if she was restrained by something.

Entering the room, she lay down on her back on the big bed, gazing blankly at the ceiling.

What should she do to avoid the original novel’s plot?

“Let’s talk about it later.” In the end, this irrelevant phrase was what she said.

“Sister Li, I want to see you.”

Clingy Fiancee—

Remembering this contact note, a soft smile appeared on Li Fangge’s delicate and sculpted features.

The cheque had made her very irritable, but now, that irritation was largely swept away by this call from the delicate flower.

“Some other day.” The refusal finally turned into ambiguous words.

“I don’t like being rejected.”

“Sister didn’t reject you.”

“‘Some other day’—isn’t that a rejection?”

“Not with me.”

“Shall we go to the seaside tonight?”

“Tomorrow, perhaps, if you don’t mind Sister wearing a wig.”

“Why does Sister have to do that?”

“I told you, people will try to corner me if I go out.”

“Sister Li, with me here, who would dare corner you!”

“—You certainly dare to boast.”

“Sister Li, what time tomorrow?”

“Six in the evening. We’ll watch the sunset.”

Li Fangge felt that dragging out the matter of breaking off the engagement was beneficial to no one.

What needed to be discussed should be clarified as soon as possible.
