My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 20
Finally, Li Fangge broke the silence, “I didn’t know my sister and your sister knew each other.”
“I didn’t know either. But judging by the scene just now, their relationship is quite unusual, right?”
On the streets of the shallow night, cars came and went, quite bustling.
Li Fangge felt that the night view of this city was not much different from Shanghai.
The streets were prosperous, figures in glamorous clothes hurried by, and the flashing lights were brilliant.
The difference from Shanghai was that the summer in this city was very comfortable, absolutely not so hot or humid that you couldn’t leave the air conditioning.
Especially at night, the temperature would drop, and it was quite pleasant when the sea-salty breeze blew across the face.
“What kind of relationship do you think they have?”
“My sister rarely drinks, and although she doesn’t show her emotions easily, I can tell she is in a very bad mood tonight. Miss Li also said that your cousin is also in a bad mood. Combining that with the dramatic eye contact they just shared, I think they might—”
Li Fangge also saw that their eye contact was very intriguing. “Might be what?”
“Just like that, what else could it be?”
“Just what kind of ‘like that’?” Li Fangge wanted her to express her thoughts clearly.
“I finally know now why my sister has never mentioned her love life. Also, all the blind dates my dad arranged for her were rejected without exception. Tonight I found out, she’s actually AA-in-love. I still don’t understand my sister’s inner world at all.”
Her sister, who never disobeyed their father,
Guan Xiaoyu felt that her refusal of blind dates was itself very intriguing.
“Who told you my sister is an Alpha?”
Li Fangge knew that Guan Xiaoyan was an Alpha.
“Miss Li, isn’t she?!”
The delicate flower was clearly startled.
Taxis were hard to hail at this time of the day.
Besides, Guan Xiaoyu had just said she didn’t want to go home, and Li Fangge also wanted to walk around and see the city again.
But the worry of potentially being cornered by creditors made her a bit restless.
She hadn’t completely shed her former idol image, even in a different world.
Despite this, the desire to relax still overcame the fear of potential embarrassment. She walked side-by-side with her along the street, the red streetlights lengthening and shortening their shadows, and then lengthening and shortening again, repeatedly…
“No, she isn’t.”
In this world, before differentiation, gender is only divided into male and female. After differentiation, it is divided into male and female Alpha, and male and female Omega.
About half of the people in the world never differentiate, or never fully differentiate. These people are male and female Betas. They basically cannot release pheromones, and the pheromones of Alpha and Omega basically do not interfere with them.
Pheromones are a vital element for reproduction. When an Alpha successfully marks an Omega, the germ cells in the Alpha’s pheromones have a chance to combine with the embryonic buds in the Omega’s pheromones. After successful combination, an embryo is formed, which then gestates in the Omega’s reproductive cavity until the newborn is delivered—
Having no pheromones means being unable to reproduce.
“It’s rare to see an Omega this tall.”
“Who told you my sister is an Omega?”
“Oh my gosh! Isn’t she?!” Guan Xiaoyu was surprised once again.
She reached up to cover her cherry-like mouth, her watery eyes wide open.
“It doesn’t hurt to tell you. My sister is a Beta.”
“Oh my god! Oh my god, oh my god…”
Guan Xiaoyu let out a string of exclamations.
Li Fangge could roughly guess why she was so surprised.
Although Alphas and Omegas in this world enjoy many advantages, they are also firmly bound by the shackles of reproduction—
Between having children and not having children, some people have virtually no choice, especially Alphas and Omegas from wealthy and powerful families. They have less freedom, and their marriages are often controlled or influenced by their elders.
Therefore, although the laws of this world recognize and protect marriage between any genders, whether you can break through family constraints and fight for your own freedom often depends entirely on individual ability.
It was obvious that the combination between Bai Shao and Guan Xiaoyan,
Li Fangge felt that even if the obstacles were not greater than those in her and Guan Xiaoyu’s engagement, they were at least equally large.
“Miss Li, is it true that the more you gain, the more you have to bear?”
“Perhaps.”
Li Fangge knew what the delicate flower meant.
“My sister and I were born with everything the world envies, but—”
“Your sister met my sister, and you met—”
Li Fangge turned sideways to Guan Xiaoyu, pointing at herself with her right index finger.
“I don’t care. Miss Li, don’t think you can use this as an excuse to break the engagement.”
“Hey—it was your Guan family who wanted to break the engagement, okay!”
Putting aside her panicked desire to break the engagement with the delicate flower when she was clueless, Li Fangge was not wrong to say this to Guan Xiaoyu.
The Guan family had indeed disregarded this engagement for a long time, so much so that even her older brother, who lived far away in the Southern Kingdom and hadn’t returned home for many years, had heard about it.
In contrast, the Li family, even though the Master and Madam Chen had swept the woman out of the house, still harbored fantasies about their engagement—
“So, Miss Li, were you pressured by my family before?”
Guan Xiaoyu clearly didn’t believe or accept Li Fangge’s attempt to shift the blame.
“We have no future.”
From a physiological perspective, they indeed had no future.
Li Fangge spoke calmly and clearly.
The “we” she referred to included her and Guan Xiaoyu, as well as Bai Shao and Guan Xiaoyan.
“I said, if there’s no future, we can create one!”
Guan Xiaoyu stated righteously.
Li Fangge didn’t want to continue this topic.
Seeing an empty car drive over, she was just about to raise her hand,
But Guan Xiaoyu grabbed her in time, “I don’t want to ride in a car other people have sat in.”
Li Fangge paused upon hearing this, then understood.
She knew she was delicate, but she didn’t expect her to be this delicate.
“Then how do you plan to get back?”
“Miss Li, walk back with me.”
“It might take until dawn to walk back like this. Are you sure your legs are up to it?”
“Absolutely!”
“Then let big sister put on her wig first—” Li Fangge still didn’t want to be surrounded by creditors on the road.
“No need, big sister has me.”
“Do you really think you can—”
“I can.”
So confident. So envious.
Looking at Guan Xiaoyu, Li Fangge remembered her past self. Back then, she was also like her, fearless, even thinking she could raise her hands to support the sky if it collapsed.
“Alright then.”
They walked side-by-side onto the highway bridge.
It was not far from the sea here, and the sea breeze blew their hair.
Li Fangge’s shirt was puffed up by the wind, and Guan Xiaoyu’s puff sleeves flapped in the night wind.
“Miss Li, this wind is annoying.”
“You said you wanted to walk home.”
Their voices were quickly blown away by the wind.
Li Fangge hadn’t walked so casually on the streets at night for a long time.
As she walked, she forgot the worries of being cornered by creditors, forgot her predicament, and the whole person felt incredibly relaxed.
She didn’t know if it was because of the cool, breezy night, or because Guan Xiaoyu, who said “big sister has me,” was walking beside her.
When they reached the middle of the bridge,
Guan Xiaoyu’s phone rang. Hong Tao said she was coming to pick her up.
By the time they walked across the highway bridge, she was already waiting by the roadside.
Li Fangge walked Guan Xiaoyu over. Hong Tao got out of the car and opened the door to welcome her.
“I’ll take Miss Li home.”
Li Fangge rejected Guan Xiaoyu without thinking.
“Big sister takes me home, or I take big sister home. Choose one.”
“In the bar, Miss Li didn’t agree to my sister, but she didn’t refuse either, did she?”
“…” Sharp-tongued.
Li Fangge suddenly had a feeling of being forced into love.
Resistance and enjoyment were intertwined, very subtle.
She thought, since the official pairing cannot be broken up, going with the flow appropriately might not be a bad idea.
“Then you take big sister.”
“Agreement happily reached.”
Guan Xiaoyu smiled; she smiled like the moon.
Half an hour later, Hong Tao drove the car to the front of Li Fangge’s house.
Before getting out of the car, Guan Xiaoyu called out to her, “Miss Li, don’t forget!”
“What?”
“In the evening, you said you would come find me—”
“Oh.”
“Miss Li, next time will be a real date.”
“Oh.” Li Fangge nodded blankly.
This development made her feel unreal. It shouldn’t be this smooth between her and Guan Xiaoyu.
Both the original plot and her current situation told her that the survival mission was super hard mode.
There was no reason for the difficulty of leveling up her life value to suddenly decrease.
After Guan Xiaoyu’s car disappeared into the night,
Li Fangge felt a sense of loss; she looked in the direction she left for a long time.
Even though they hadn’t even had a real date yet, she was beginning to feel a sense of—
This feeling of loss, this emptiness in her heart, must be disappointment.
Withdrawing her gaze, Li Fangge walked toward her door.
When she pushed open the side gate, she felt a strange pressure behind her.
Thinking it was the creditors coming, she instinctively turned around and scanned the darkness nervously.
The area in front of the main gate was empty. Besides the chirping of crickets, there was no sound.
And the scene of her anxiously looking around, fell into the eyes of a pair of eyes hidden in the darkness…
