My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 16

“What do you mean, Sister Li?!”

Guan Xiaoyu lowered her head, staring at the open letter, and asked in a low voice.

Li Fangge thought, the delicate flower’s tears must be welling up, as only one night separated them from a drastic change in their relationship.

But she understood that this was not the time for pity to run rampant. “It means what you see.”

Guan Xiaoyu abruptly looked up.

Her eyes were very watery and bright, but there was no trace of tears.

Li Fangge was greatly surprised.

However, an even more astonishing thing happened.

Guan Xiaoyu held up the letter. The sincere words, unspoken difficulties, and heartfelt blessings that Li Fangge had poured onto the paper last night were all gone. The paper was completely blank.

How could those black words on the white paper disappear into thin air?! Li Fangge found it unbelievable.

She suddenly snatched the letter from Guan Xiaoyu’s hand. The first page was blank, and the second page was also blank—

“Impossible!” she cried out, losing her composure.

“Sister Li, what is impossible?”

“I—” want to break off our engagement with you.

Her tongue was once again controlled by an invisible force; Li Fangge still couldn’t say those words.

The most preposterous part was that the thousands of characters she had painstakingly written over the course of the night had also been silently wiped clean.

Can’t I break off the engagement?! she screamed internally, utterly defeated.

“You should go back.” Li Fangge wanted some time alone.

“Sister Li,” Guan Xiaoyu tugged on the corner of Li Fangge’s clothes as she tried to turn away. “Didn’t we agree yesterday that we would face this together?”

“Face what?”

Li Fangge stopped, speaking with exhaustion.

If things continued this way, she would soon lose her life.

“Everything, all of it!”

Looking at Guan Xiaoyu, who was completely unaware of the danger she was in, Li Fangge gave a forced smile and gently pulled her right hand away. “You should go back.” With that, she conveyed through her eyes, let me go.

The situation was already this bad, so why was she still so persistent?

Li Fangge didn’t understand.

“Other than love, I can’t think of any other reason.”

Bai Shao’s words from yesterday lunchtime automatically popped into her head.

This left her feeling even more helpless. Even if she wanted to accept Guan Xiaoyu’s affection, reality wouldn’t allow it; even if she could ignore the constraints of reality and agree to be with her, the plot would quickly push her off a cliff.

It was impossible either way. Li Fangge was on the verge of a breakdown.

“I won’t go back!”

Guan Xiaoyu was the one to lose her temper first. “I will marry no one but Sister, and I want no one but Sister!”

Li Fangge’s head buzzed from her stubbornly resolute and headstrong declaration.

So, even though the letter was wiped clean, and even though the words she wanted to say couldn’t come out, did Guan Xiaoyu still read the message that she wanted to break off the engagement from her eyes?

“Why must it be me?” Li Fangge asked woodenly.

“I made the reason very clear yesterday morning! If Sister Li has forgotten, I can say it again now, no, ten times, a hundred times—”

Guan Xiaoyu’s tears, though late, arrived.

Just as the tears seemed about to burst forth, she suddenly stopped speaking, raised her head, and looked up at the pale blue sky.

Li Fangge didn’t want to offer comfort, nor did she know what to say.

She was very tired now. She, too, wanted to cry pitifully like Guan Xiaoyu, but she had no tears. So, she also raised her head and looked up at the evening sky.

How ridiculous. Those pink, thin clouds in the pale blue sky were always so oblivious to the mood, radiating romance—

Li Fangge gazed at the sky and said to those pink clouds, “You don’t need to say anything more—”

It was truly confusing.

After the Scumbag Alpha’s differentiation, her actions were known to everyone.

Her character could be said to be universally despised.

Apart from Bai Shao, the Scumbag Alpha had no friends left.

Why did Guan Xiaoyu still rush toward her so recklessly?

She truly lives up to her title of ‘Clingy Fiancée’, Li Fangge thought, smiling involuntarily at the sky upon recalling this designation.

Her mood instantly lightened for some unknown reason.

What kind of magic did the Clingy Fiancée possess that made her so impossible to refuse?

She gazed upward for a long time, until the pink of the clouds began to fade.

Li Fangge brought her gaze back down. “The clouds are beautiful.”

Guan Xiaoyu also lowered her gaze and followed up, “Sister is even more beautiful.”

“………Stop crying.”

“When was I crying?!”

“You go back first. I’ll come find you later.”

“I don’t believe you. I can’t trust Sister’s words right now.”

“Guan Xiaoyu—” Li Fangge let out a long sigh. “It’s truly embarrassing for me to keep having to say that my car is out of gas and I don’t have the money to buy more!”

“Pfft—”

Guan Xiaoyu burst out laughing, wiping away her tears quickly with the back of her hand. “What’s embarrassing about that? Everyone encounters difficulties sometimes.”

“Have you ever?”

“Isn’t the one right in front of me a difficulty?”

Sharp-tongued. Li Fangge looked at the teary-eyed Guan Xiaoyu, and her heart was unexpectedly less irritated. All her problems—the debt, the lack of money to go out, and the fact that she would soon kick the bucket if she didn’t work to break off the engagement—seemed to drift away.

“Sister Li, seriously, what is it that you want to tell me?”

“I—”

Li Fangge hesitated, knowing it was useless since she couldn’t say it anyway.

“If it’s about breaking off the engagement, I advise Sister not to think about it. I already said this morning that I will absolutely not break off the engagement with Sister!”

“Can you stop bringing that up over and over again?”

“I can’t, unless Sister immediately goes with me to get our marriage certificate.”

How should she refuse this straightforward girl?

Li Fangge smiled. “Has your father agreed?”

“Who I marry is my business. I don’t care if he agrees or not.”

“Impressive.” Li Fangge genuinely admired her; she was completely unlike her outwardly delicate appearance.

“Isn’t Sister going to invite me in? I’m starving.”

“You haven’t really been crying, yet you’re already starving?” Li Fangge couldn’t help but tease her.

“I was stood up by Sister and cried the whole way here.”

“Nonsense.”

“The tears in my heart have already overflowed to my chest. If you don’t believe me, feel it yourself.”

“Sister wouldn’t dare feel. Sister is afraid of your—”

“Pheromones! It’s pheromones again—” Guan Xiaoyu interrupted her. “I’ve already taken inhibitors, okay!”

“Hmph—” Li Fangge tossed her long hair. “No need to get so agitated.”

“I was only agitated because Sister provoked me.”

The direction of events was so surreal.

No—since she had transmigrated into a book, Li Fangge felt that nothing could be more surreal than transmigrating.

Until she figured out why she couldn’t refuse Guan Xiaoyu, she wasn’t planning on letting Guan Xiaoyu into her house again, or Guan Xiaoyu would fall deeper and deeper.

“Sister Li, I’m genuinely hungry.”

“Xiao You is on vacation. No one is cooking tonight.”

“I’ll eat whatever Sister eats.”

“Sister isn’t eating tonight.”

“Hmph!” Guan Xiaoyu glared angrily at Li Fangge. “Sister just doesn’t want me to go inside your house.”

“That’s right. You should go back.”

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Guan Xiaoyu quieted down. After a long moment, she said, “Sister Li, you go back. I’ll walk you.”

“Walk me at the entrance of Sister’s house?”

“Is that not allowed?”

“It’s not that it’s not allowed.” Li Fangge felt a pang of pity.

It wasn’t that no one had been this kind to her before. It was just that she truly wasn’t used to being escorted by someone like the Princess and the Pea, Guan Xiaoyu.

“Sister Li, if you don’t go back, I’m going to cling to you and go inside!”

As Guan Xiaoyu spoke, she made a move to stick close to her.

Li Fangge quickly took a few steps back, then raised her left hand and waved. “Goodbye.”

The kind of goodbye where they genuinely would meet again.

“Goodbye, Sister Li.” Guan Xiaoyu also raised her left hand and waved.

Li Fangge turned around and walked towards her front door.

“Sister Li, please don’t hide from me again, okay? When you do that, my heart hurts very much.”

Li Fangge’s entire body suddenly froze, as if she had been shot by an arrow from Guan Xiaoyu.
