My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 19
The Conversation
“How did my Little Sweetie get here?”
Li Fangge was puzzled. With that sweet address, almost everyone present knew her identity. On Guan Xiaoyu’s social media accounts, her name for Li Fangge had always been “Sister Li.” As the second daughter of the Car King and a regular on the list of wealthy single women, her visibility was extremely high in Ludu and even nationwide. A few years ago, her engagement to the Scum Alpha was also well-known across the internet.
While Li Fangge was thinking, Guan Xiaoyu had already taken a stand on her right side. She didn’t stick to her like she usually did; instead, she looked at the cold woman, “Sister, what happened?” She had obviously missed the scene that had just occurred.
But soon, her gaze moved away from her sister. Like her sister, once her eyes landed on Bai Shao, they didn’t move away. However, she wasn’t looking at Bai Shao’s face, but lingering on her upper body.
Li Fangge was surprised. This woman is Little Sweetie’s sister?
As she wondered, Bai Shao suddenly withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look at her, and said expressionlessly, “Let’s go.”
Before Li Fangge could respond, Bai Shao turned to her right, and as she stepped past Miss Guan’s sister, her hand was suddenly firmly grasped by the other woman.
The manager of Floating Life Dream rushed over. She stood in front of the woman, bowing and apologizing repeatedly.
“Do those two know how to handle it?” the woman’s voice was like ice.
“They know, they know. Miss Guan, please rest assured, leave it to us to handle.”
“Mm.”
After the woman released Bai Shao’s hand, she looked at Li Fangge, “Send her back.”
Then, her gaze shifted to Guan Xiaoyu.
Li Fangge knew what she meant, but she made no comment.
The woman immediately withdrew her gaze and faced Bai Shao, saying coldly, “Come with me.”
After speaking, she gracefully turned around amidst the public gaze, and the crowd involuntarily made way for her. The woman in the white suit walked out without even glancing sideways.
Li Fangge thought her cousin would refuse.
Unexpectedly, the spineless woman bypassed her and chased after the other woman—
After everyone watched them leave, they turned their attention back to Li Fangge and Guan Xiaoyu. When it came to conversational topics, there was no doubt that the two of them held higher ground—
“I just said it, she is the world’s most beautiful woman, not just in Ludu, but you didn’t believe me!”
“It’s true. Even though the hairstyle is a bit exaggerated, it still can’t completely hide her radiance.”
“What’s going on between her and Guan Xiaoyu now?”
“Reality dictates they’ll break up sooner or later, right?”
“What a pity, they really are a perfect match!”
“Yes, she looks even better in person. I really want to ask for a photo. Only Li Fangge can make people feel happy just by looking at her.”
“What’s the use of that? The Guan family is already heading down that path—”
All the way out of the bar, gossip filled the air for Li Fangge and Guan Xiaoyu. As a singer, her hearing had always been very sensitive.
Guan Xiaoyu only called her “Sister Li” once from beginning to end. After her sister and Bai Shao left, they both tacitly walked out together.
Outside the bar, Bai Shao and the other woman were nowhere to be seen.
Standing still in the slightly warm mid-August night breeze, Li Fangge felt much more relaxed. The unpleasantness brought about by the distasteful scene in the bar had also slightly subsided.
She turned her head to look at the unusually quiet Guan Xiaoyu and said casually, “You and your sister don’t look alike.”
Yes, Li Fangge found it hard to believe they were sisters. In her memory, the sisters’ appearances were somewhat similar; their brows, eyes, and chins were all pretty, and their lips were small yet extraordinarily full. But in reality, the sisters’ temperaments were entirely opposite.
Guan Xiaoyu looked like a pampered “Little Sweetie,” appearing warm, seemingly defenseless toward the world, and full of love for everything. That woman, however, seemed overly aloof and independent; no one raised in a loving environment would give off such a distant feeling, from the inside out. Therefore, before the “Little Sweetie” called her “Sister,” Li Fangge hadn’t recognized the person confronting her cousin as Guan Xiaoyan—
“Indeed, we don’t look alike. My sister and I are not alike in anything.”
Guan Xiaoyu bent down, leaned close to the blooming Mandarin Duck Jasmine in the flowerbed, and gently sniffed it.
“Where is your driver?”
“Sister Li, do you really wear a wig when you go out? Isn’t it hot in this weather?”
Guan Xiaoyu stood up straight and turned to face Li Fangge. Her face didn’t show any warmth. The streetlights illuminated her face, making it look slightly red. Wearing a white puff-sleeved shirt, she appeared exceptionally soft and lovely.
Li Fangge was amused by her irrelevant question and was led astray. It was indeed a bit hot. She took off the wig, hung it on a flower branch, then skillfully untied the hair tie, and ran her ten fingers through her long hair from top to bottom.
“I feel much lighter now,” she said.
“Sister’s red mole near her mouth is so exaggerated.”
“Is it?” Li Fangge reached up, swiftly tore off the mole sticker, “Now, do you know how difficult life is for your sister?” Her tone carried a deep self-mockery.
“I came in my sister’s car tonight. She uncharacteristically asked me to accompany her for a drink. I usually don’t like hanging out with her, but seeing as it was the first time she asked me to—”
Although she said that, Guan Xiaoyu often granted her sister’s requests, but Guan Xiaoyan rarely asked her for anything.
“What a coincidence, I also accompanied my sister for a drink, but ran into a disgusting man right at the beginning.”
“—Is that white shirt on her yours, Sister Li?”
“How do you know that too?”
Li Fangge thought, Is there anything Chen Qiaoyi and Yin Xiaoyou haven’t told this Little Sweetie?
“Sister Li, are you that forgetful?! That’s the one you were wearing on the morning we met again.”
“Oh.”
Li Fangge remembered. On the morning she first transmigrated into this world, she indeed wore that white shirt when she went out to meet her fiancée.
“What’s wrong?” She now somewhat understood why Guan Xiaoyu was a little unhappy, and why she had been staring at her cousin in the bar—
“Why does that older sister get to wear Sister Li’s clothes?”
A sour tone, a slightly pouted lower lip. The “Little Sweetie” really didn’t hide her jealousy at all.
Li Fangge pursed her lips and smiled faintly, “My sister was in a bad mood tonight, and she couldn’t stand the sight of my legs looking longer than hers, so she threw her skirt at my place. Not only the white shirt, but the pants she’s wearing are mine too.” She was simply more candid.
“Sister Li is so annoying!”
“How annoying?”
“I’m not talking to you anymore.”
“Alright, then let’s both go home.”
Li Fangge tossed her hair and turned to walk away.
Sure enough, the “Little Sweetie” immediately followed her.
“Sister Li, will you die if you don’t tease me?!”
“You were the one who said you weren’t talking to me—”
“That was sarcasm. How could Sister not tell?”
“Sister couldn’t tell!”
“Sister Li is the most annoying!”
“The person who finds me most annoying, please don’t pull on my sleeve!”
“I insist!”
“Stay away from your sister, I’m genuinely afraid of you—”
Generally speaking, Alpha with lower genetic levels is easily attracted to the pheromones of Omega with higher genetic levels. Mild cases lead to distraction and romantic fantasies, like Li Fangge’s previous symptoms. Severe cases can cause agitation and frenzy, and if a group is affected, it can even lead to social chaos. It was only natural for Li Fangge to be cautious.
“When I go out, how could I let my pheromones leak? Sister Li, do you think I lack even this basic knowledge and awareness?!”
“That’s not certain.”
Guan Xiaoyu knew Li Fangge was referring to the last incident. She then reluctantly let go of her and stepped aside, “Is this far enough?”
Her tone sounded like that was the maximum distance from Li Fangge she could accept; she couldn’t tolerate even one more centimeter.
“If I said it wasn’t enough, would you move further away?”
“No!”
Li Fangge gave her a helpless smile.
Guan Xiaoyu was stunned, as if she had been charmed by the smile.
Walking side-by-side for a few steps, she said:
“Sister Li, can you tell me what happened after you smelled my pheromones last time?”
“No.”
Li Fangge turned her face away. Her face involuntarily heated up again at the memory of that incident. Thankfully, it was covered by the night—
“Does Sister like my pheromones?”
Do I like her pheromones?
Although she came from another world, through the Scum Alpha’s knowledge, Li Fangge clearly understood what Guan Xiaoyu’s question implied. Generally speaking, pheromones are a sensitive topic between Alpha and Omega. Because pheromones attract each other, it has long been a social norm not to easily expose one’s pheromones to others. Once they are actively exposed and discussed this way, it means the relationship between the two people is already extraordinary.
Li Fangge recalled their first meeting—let’s temporarily treat that day as their first meeting. A pleasant scent of orange blossoms suddenly drifted in the air. Smelling it felt delightful, and she couldn’t help but secretly inhale a few more times. Only later did she understand that it was Guan Xiaoyu’s pheromones—
“If Sister Li doesn’t tell me, I’ll assume—”
“Did you also smell my pheromones that day?”
Li Fangge remembered that as soon as she returned to the house that day, Chen Qiaoyi had scolded her for casually exposing herself. Outside the gate, her pheromones must have been too weak, suppressed by the “Little Sweetie’s” pheromones, which was why she didn’t notice. As an Omega, the “Little Sweetie” should have smelled hers—
“Something like that.”
“I’ll take you home.”
Li Fangge stopped and looked toward the street corner, ready to flag down a car. They couldn’t continue this topic. If a pheromone loss of control occurred on the street, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Sister Li, I don’t want to go home.”
“Why don’t you want to go home?”
“If I go home now, I’ll overthink things.”
“Think about what?”
“Sister Li clearly doesn’t have a sister—”
Oh, she was still jealous that Bai Shao wore her shirt. She didn’t expect the “Little Sweetie’s” possessiveness to be this strong.
Li Fangge said, “She’s, my cousin.”
“I see. No wonder you don’t look alike.”
“She and your sister—”
“She and my sister—”
The two spoke at the same time, their words colliding, then they both fell silent. They both knew what the other wanted to say, but they both tacitly wanted the other person to ask first—
