My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 18
Unforeseen Reunion
Li Kege is…?
Information about him flooded Li Fangge’s mind: the scum Alpha’s older brother, an Air Force officer.
The siblings hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
Why did he suddenly transfer her sixty thousand yuan?
Li Fangge was still wondering when a message popped up:
“Happy Birthday! I’m so late, I just got back from a mission.”
Li Fangge clicked on his profile picture; it showed a sunny man with bright, star-like eyes and perfect features.
The siblings rarely contacted each other. In the scum Alpha’s memory, their relationship wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either.
Suddenly receiving a birthday gift from her brother was truly unexpected.
“Oh, thank you.”
Sixty thousand yuan wasn’t a lot, but given her current situation, Li Fangge knew it was a timely relief.
“Thank you?”
“What else?”
Li Fangge knew why the handsome man was surprised; the scum Alpha was cold and wouldn’t be this polite or courteous to people.
“Did society teach you a lesson?”
“Yes. This money is very timely.”
“Did Mom and Dad forget your birthday again?”
“Didn’t you forget, too?”
“No, I didn’t forget. You know I would never forget your birthday.”
“Thank you.” Li Fangge thanked him again. She had arrived at the restaurant.
Sitting down, she told Li Kege, “I was swept out of the house.”
This happened during the New Year’s Day this year, more than half a year ago. Li Kege probably didn’t know.
Their father wouldn’t tell him such things; anything that might affect Li Kege’s future, he kept secret.
“I know. Is life tough?”
“It’s okay, it’s just—” Li Fangge quickly changed her wording, “I’ve gotten used to it.”
Rather than saying she was used to it, it was more like giving up.
Before the scum Alpha differentiated, due to her genetic test results, she was very arrogant and did whatever she pleased.
Her father and Madam Chen strongly opposed her learning the piano, but she stubbornly insisted—in this regard, Li Fangge felt they were quite similar. Not long after starting university, the scum Alpha’s differentiation result stunned everyone. The former darling plummeted into the abyss overnight. Since then, her parents increasingly disliked her, and she herself drifted further and further off course.
Li Fangge, saying she had gotten used to a tough life wasn’t an exaggeration.
“The Guan family wants to cancel the engagement. What are you planning?”
“It’s hard to say right now. There might be a different outcome.”
After communicating with the system Gu Jiu jiu,
Li Fangge knew that she and Guan Xiaoyu couldn’t escape the ‘official pairing cannot be broken’ system. As for what kind of future they could forge, it was indeed hard to tell.
“Don’t tell me you’re like Mom and Dad—”
Li Fangge knew what he was trying to say.
Her father and Madam Chen hired a senior nutritionist and an all-purpose housekeeper to look after her daily life, which essentially meant they held an unrealistic fantasy about her being able to undergo a secondary differentiation.
It wasn’t that secondary differentiation in Alphas and Omegas was impossible in this world, but documented instances in recent decades were extremely rare.
She didn’t think she would be lucky enough to be the next one. Besides, secondary differentiation didn’t guarantee a 100% differentiation into a higher rank. There wasn’t much to look forward to regarding secondary differentiation.
Instead of hoping for a secondary differentiation, she’d rather work hard in the future. After all, apart from her low genetic rank, her other conditions weren’t bad.
She had checked online these past few days. The music industry in this world desperately needed fresh blood.
And singing, for her, was practically a divine gift;
Having switched to a new world, she could continue her beloved career.
As for her father and Madam Chen’s opposition, Who cares?
“No, I don’t care about that so much.”
From the scum Alpha’s perspective, this statement seemed like self-deception.
The reason she had been so dispirited was largely due to being poisoned by the genetic ranking.
But for Li Fangge, she truly didn’t care that much. After all, she was a modern woman from an era shaped by the concept of “Are kings and generals born that way?”
Moreover, in this world, women and women could fall in love and marry. In this aspect, it was already more tolerant and civilized than the society she came from. She firmly believed that as long as her life value rank increased, in due time, she would definitely be able to recreate the glory she had in her previous world.
“Is that so!”
“Brother, why are you still so—”
Calling him—well, although she knew a lot of information about him, calling this somewhat unfamiliar man ‘brother’ still made Li Fangge uncomfortable.
“Don’t be silly. Remember to find your brother if you need anything.”
“Can I? Even Mom and Dad don’t want to—”
“Like you, I don’t care that much about genetic rank either.”
“Oh. Thank you.”
“I’m really not used to you thanking me.”
“I plan to change my way of life.”
Speaking of this, Li Fangge suddenly remembered what Guan Xiaoyu had said to her, “—Evasion is not a way out. So, I want to ask Sister to try a different approach—”
Yes, evasion is not a way out.
Furthermore, evasion was never Li Fangge’s style.
She was always the type to actively strive forward in life. She wouldn’t just face reality; she would also actively try to change the reality she disliked.
“You can definitely do it.”
Li Kege was likely overlooked when she searched her mind for trustworthy people around the scum Alpha because the siblings hadn’t seen or contacted each other for too long. The scum Alpha must have thought her brother had also given up on her, just like her parents…
Chen Qiaoyi had indeed thoughtfully prepared a fairly rich dinner for her.
While Li Fangge was chatting with her ‘cheap’ brother, Chen Qiaoyi had already set the dinner on the table.
“Miss Heguo, please enjoy your meal.” Her voice was still dry.
Li Fangge darkened her phone screen and placed it face down to her right. “Sister Yi, come eat with me.”
“The amount of food was set by Xiao You based on Miss Heguo’s physical condition.”
“Hey?!” Li Fangge looked up at her and said teasingly, “Are you also this—unromantic when you talk to Guan Xiaoyu?”
“I refuse to answer anything unrelated to my job.”
Heh, as expected, she wasn’t.
Li Fangge waved her hand, deciding to let it go.
Halfway through the meal, Bai Shao called, “Come with me—”
“What’s wrong?” Li Fangge put down her chopsticks.
“Don’t ask. Sis is going to get absolutely hammered tonight.”
“Sounds like you’re heartbroken before you even started dating!”
“Exactly. Sis is going to get absolutely hammered—”
“My car’s out of gas—”
Li Fangge knew that this statement was the equivalent of “I’m broke” to her.
The feeling of having no burdens was new and wonderful.
Being genuinely herself was such a relaxing thing—
Heaven knows how many personas the company had created for her before. She had almost forgotten that she could also let her guard down and live a life as spontaneous and carefree as everyone else.
“I’ll pick you up in half an hour.”
“Okay.”
Li Fangge had lost her appetite. Though hungry, she couldn’t eat anymore.
Predictably, Chen Qiaoyi gave her another sharp look of condemnation.
Although she said nothing, Li Fangge knew that Chen Qiaoyi’s expression about her appetite always silently conveyed, “An Alpha whose appetite is less than an Omega’s—how can this go on?” Chen Qiaoyi was only around thirty, but Li Fangge felt she was a generation older than herself.
“I’m going out for a drink with my cousin later. I need to save some room. Sister Yi, want to join us?”
“Miss Heguo, it’s not safe outside.”
“I have a wig, who am I afraid of!” Li Fangge looked nonchalant.
The scum Alpha probably had twenty or so wigs in various colors and styles. It was time to unlock a new map since she’d transmigrated.
“No matter how much Miss Heguo disguises herself, your—cannot be hidden.”
“My what?”
Li Fangge actually knew what she was referring to, but seeing how stuffy she was, she wanted to tease her.
“Your beauty and temperament—” Chen Qiaoyi lowered her head.
“Since Sister Yi is so worried about me, why don’t you just come along!”
“That’s not within the scope of my duties.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll put on a fake red mole this time. No one will recognize me.”
Li Fangge had done disguises before; she was quite skilled at it.
Fu Sheng Ruo Meng Bar.
Li Fangge and Bai Shao entered just before 9:30 PM.
Their appearance instantly shattered the bar’s quiet. The intense gazes cast their way ignited the start of the night. Dazzling sparks erupted in the air, illuminating the surging desire in everyone’s eyes.
Bai Shao was originally wearing a black dress.
When she got to Li Fangge’s house, she saw her wearing an apricot yellow shirt paired with black long pants belted over them, making her legs look a meter and eighty long and giving her a heroic, dashing look.
Bai Shao couldn’t stand her cousin’s legs looking longer than hers, so she rushed into Li Fangge’s walk-in closet and changed into a loose white shirt and short shorts.
This way, the sisters’ legs looked equally long. Bai Shao’s legs were as white as snow in the sunlight, dazzling even at night.
Li Fangge’s wig was too unconventional, giving her an unruly appearance. Her cold expression and aloof gaze carried a sense of austerity, and the red mole above her lip maximized the stimulation of everyone’s visual nerves.
“Too Alpha! Too Alpha! Are they supermodels?”
“OMG, one look at the girl in black pants gives me an orgasm.”
“If she took off that red mole, I’d rush over right now.”
“How could you? She has a partner!”
“Look at the girl next to her in the white shirt, a total atmosphere beauty.”
“I bet they’re not a couple!”
“AA relationships are very common, okay!”
Li Fangge and Bai Shao ignored the explicit gazes and whispered conversations.
They walked through the hall and chose a window seat.
Soon, their table was full of drinks sent by others.
Normally, they wouldn’t drink strangers’ alcohol, but tonight, Bai Shao was in a terrible mood.
As soon as a drink arrived, she raised her glass, casually acknowledged the sender, and tipped her head back to drink it.
“Hey, don’t drink so fast!” Li Fangge’s voice showed concern.
In the moment she warned her, Bai Shao had already finished the first glass. Drinking like this clearly showed she wanted to get drunk immediately.
All the way there, no matter how Li Fangge probed,
Bai Shao wouldn’t reveal a single word. She just drove silently, her expression terribly solemn.
The unnecessary sudden braking now and then revealed her chaotic thoughts and distracted state.
The fear of death was still fresh, so Li Fangge immediately forced her cousin to pull over and switch places, with Li Fangge taking the wheel.
“Why aren’t you drinking?” Bai Shao put down the empty glass.
“Watching you drink.”
Li Fangge planned to sing in the future. She could tell the drinks on the table were strong liquors, so she thought it best not to touch them.
Everyone must have assumed they were both Alphas to naturally send them these cold, clear types of drinks.
“You keep watching, I’ll keep drinking.” Bai Shao picked up the second glass.
Her slender forearm and long fingers caught the curious gaze of everyone in the bar.
“Whenever you’re unhappy, why do you always come to Fu Sheng Ruo Meng?”
When they usually went out to relax, the sisters actually preferred pure female-oriented bars.
In those places, whether Alpha, Beta, or Omega, everyone was female.
However, Fu Sheng Ruo Meng, despite its high barrier to entry, had a more complex crowd.
“Either drink, or—”
Bai Shao made a zipper motion across her mouth.
Li Fangge realized her words had struck a nerve with her cousin.
She fell silent, watching her cousin gulp down one glass after another.
This self-abusive way of drinking made her heart ache—
Fine. She’s young. Once she drinks enough, throws up, and sleeps it off, maybe the sad things will—
No, they won’t pass. Getting drunk only grants a brief night of oblivion. Tomorrow, once the hangover clears, everything that needed to be remembered would still be there.
Soon, several glasses on the table were empty.
Drinking a mix like this, her cousin would collapse quickly—
Li Fangge’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted by two men who had approached their table.
“Beauties, let me drink with you!”
Li Fangge turned her head. It was the man who had sent them the first round of drinks.
Bai Shao didn’t even look at them, waving them away, “Get lost, this old woman is in a bad mood!”
“Why the bad mood? Tell big bro, I’m the best at comforting people.”
The tall man with the ‘granny gray’ hair said this and sat down next to Bai Shao without asking.
The man in pink clothes who came with him walked around to Li Fangge.
Just as he smiled and was about to sit down, Li Fangge put up her hand to block him, “Please leave!”
Granny Gray leaned half his body onto the table and asked with a playful grin, “What if we don’t leave?”
Li Fangge didn’t want to get tangled up with them. She quickly stood up, ready to take her cousin away.
Seeing this, Granny Gray preemptively put a lecherous hand on Bai Shao’s shoulder, “When you come out to play, just loosen up a little—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Bai Shao grabbed his hand, lowered her head, quickly stood up, twisted his arm back, and then everyone heard the man cry out like a pig being slaughtered as he rose.
Bai Shao pushed him forward without hesitation. Granny Gray stumbled a few steps.
Just as he stabilized and turned around to fight back,
A glass of alcohol in Li Fangge’s hand splashed accurately onto his face.
“You stinky bitch!” Granny Gray cursed while wiping his face. “Beat them up!”
Before his companion could act, the bar security had rushed over and restrained them.
Li Fangge thought the night was pretty much over here,
But as she turned aside, she saw her cousin staring at a cold-looking woman about the same height as herself.
The chaotic bar quieted down because of their confrontation.
“Sister Li!”
A sweet voice, soft as water, broke the silence of the bar.
Li Fangge turned her head and followed the sound, only to see the ‘Delicate Flower’ sprinting towards her.
They had only been apart for a short while, yet they met again so soon—
