My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 24

Li Fangge leaned against the car door, waiting for her, but Guan Xiaoyu was slow to get out of the car.

After several minutes, still seeing no sign of the delicate flower, she straightened up and walked straight towards her car.

Arriving beside the black car, Li Fangge bent down and leaned towards the car window. The car door suddenly made a soft “click” sound. She stepped back, and the car door was slowly pushed open.

The delicate flower didn’t rush toward her, nor was there a sweet “Sister Li,”

So, was this morning’s visit also a result of a struggle between the delicate flower and her father?

Wearing a pink, fitted dress, Guan Xiaoyu was hesitant and took a long time to emerge from the back seat.

Closing the door with a “thud,” she slowly raised her head. Her entire small face looked wilted, and her eyes seemed to have completely lost their usual sparkle.

“Let sister guess—”

There was no rush, so Li Fangge leisurely crossed her arms over her chest. “A bitter gourd face! Could it be that your dad forced you to come and break off the engagement with sister again?”

“Sister Li!”

Guan Xiaoyu’s voice was particularly loud, startling even herself. “I don’t like you making that kind of joke!”

“That’s good, then.”

Li Fangge looked at her face, red with anger, and felt an urge to pinch her.

Compared to a frowning face, she preferred the delicate flower even when she was crying, but still full of spirit.

“I can’t exactly say it’s not…” Guan Xiaoyu’s voice became softer. “Anyway, my feelings, sister knows. I will marry no one but sister, I want no one but sister, unless—”

“Unless what?” Li Fangge smiled. Never beating around the bush and always so direct—that was the delicate flower’s unique formula.

Every time Guan Xiaoyu saw her smile, her heart would involuntarily pound out of rhythm.

“Sister Li, there should be no unless! I won’t allow there to be an unless!”

“A CEO sister, are we?”

“All I know is that I like sister, and sister likes me, so there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be together.”

“What did your dad say today?”

“It wasn’t today, it was last night—” Guan Xiaoyu tried to shake off her low spirits, but she looked like a flower that had lost water after being exposed to the sun. “When I’m in a bad mood, I want to see sister—of course, I also really want to see sister when I’m in a good mood.”

“Tell me, is there a time when you don’t want to see sister?”

“I don’t think so. And you, sister? I missed you so much last night, didn’t you feel it? When I don’t contact you, you never think to contact me, do you?”

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Fangge’s dark green sports car parked not far away, which was a top-of-the-line model from the Baolu Group a few years ago. “Sister Li, where are you going?”

“You haven’t answered sister’s question yet, but you’re asking one after another.”

“My dad said all those things are old news, so let’s not mention them. This morning, when he saw me leaving, I was originally planning to go horseback riding, but he insisted I was making an excuse to see Sister Li. I hate it most when people don’t trust me and accuse me unjustly, so I came to see sister. But unfortunately, sister is about to go out—”

“You care a lot about your father.”

“What makes you say that?”

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so down.”

“You could put it that way. Although my dad is very annoying, he also dotes on me, except for—”

“Except for opposing you associating with sister.”

“Exactly.”

“How is your sister doing?”

“My sister? —” Guan Xiaoyu’s voice was distorted with surprise. “Why do you ask?”

“Does your dad only focus on you and me, completely unconcerned about your sister’s situation?”

“My sister has always been the ‘child of the neighbors’—a role model for everything since childhood. What does she need to be concerned about?”

“Did you forget what happened last night?”

“Oh, right!” Guan Xiaoyu was a little preoccupied last night, but her sister never confided in her anyway. “So—”

“My cousin last night—”

It looked like the delicate flower probably didn’t know about her sister and cousin.

Li Fangge decided it was better not to reveal anything. “After being taken home by your sister, she’s in a pretty bad state. I’m going to see her now.”

“My sister seemed fine. She went to the company as usual this morning.”

Li Fangge thought, do excellent people always manage their emotions better?

“I was overthinking it.”

“Sister Li, do you know something?”

“Don’t lie to me” was written all over Guan Xiaoyu’s eyes and face.

Li Fangge didn’t intend to deceive her, either. “Sort of. But it’s inconvenient to tell you.”

“I know even if you don’t tell me. That older sister is so beautiful. I’m not surprised my sister likes her; she likes the cheerful type who smiles with big dimples.”

“How do you know my sister has big dimples?”

Her cousin hadn’t smiled at all in the bar last night.

Li Fangge secretly wondered, could the delicate flower have even bribed her cousin?

“Isn’t your sister a model? I saw an exclusive interview with her in a fashion magazine in my sister’s office before. Your sister is really fair, like a white cloud, and has such a great temperament.”

“Is that so!”

The delicate flower was praising her cousin, and Li Fangge felt an inexplicably swollen and sour feeling in her chest.

“Can I wait for sister at sister’s house until you come back?”

“No. I’m not sure when I’ll be back.”

“Sister Li is always so cruel to me,”

Guan Xiaoyu lowered her head. “You never think of me, nor do you proactively contact me or look for me; I come to find you, but you won’t even let me into your house.”

After saying all that, the delicate flower didn’t question whether she disliked her.

Li Fangge surprisingly felt a twinge of guilt for having escaped a difficult question.

If this had been earlier, she would have certainly welcomed such a question, but now, knowing that the official couple cannot be split, it was better to avoid it if possible.

“Sister Li, why aren’t you quickly inviting me to go with you?” Guan Xiaoyu’s little face was red with anger.

“Then you should just wait for me at home.”

“You’re going to make me angry, sister. You don’t know how to comfort people at all. If it weren’t for our parents arranging it, I bet you would never find a wife!”

“With sister’s face, do you think what you’re saying is possible?”

Li Fangge lifted her chin proudly, looking incredibly conceited, as if asking who in the world dared to compare beauty with her!

“Sister Li is so annoying!”

The delicate flower who said Li Fangge was annoying had a sweet, blooming smile on her lips and in her eyes.

“Really? I don’t believe it!” Every time she teased the delicate flower, Li Fangge found it hard to stop.

“Sister already has me, yet you’re still thinking about things like that, hmph!”

“How can you accuse sister unfairly like that!”

Guan Xiaoyu didn’t answer, maintaining a look that said, “I’m not accusing you unfairly, sister is thinking about it.”

“Go inside quickly. Sister Yi and Xiaoyou are both there.”

“Sister Li still won’t take me to see the older sister!”

“It’s not appropriate today. She’s in a bad mood.”

“Oh, go on, Sister Li.”

The clingy delicate flower didn’t say she would wait for her to return,

Li Fangge was quite surprised; this wasn’t her style.

She thought she must have other plans, but she didn’t expect that when she returned home around noon, Guan Xiaoyu was still there. She was in the kitchen, asking Yin Xiaoyou to teach her how to make small cakes—

Li Fangge knew without guessing that Xiaoyou must have told the delicate flower that she liked small cakes.

She walked softly, and the two people in the kitchen didn’t notice her leaning by the doorway.

Guan Xiaoyu, wearing a little bear apron, seemed to sense her gaze and spun around abruptly, happily yelling, “Sister Li!”

The full-of-energy, soft girl was back.

Li Fangge watched her run toward her and quickly turned to escape.

Guan Xiaoyu chased her all the way, and the two ran up the second floor one after the other.

“Sister Li, why are you running?” When they reached the second floor, Guan Xiaoyu was already bent over, tired. She put her hands on her slender waist. “Am I—am I a terrifying monster?”

“Yes!” Li Fangge was not far in front of her, a mischievous smile on her face.

“Say that again?!”

“A cute terrifying monster.”

Guan Xiaoyu took the compliment well and immediately smiled. “That’s better.”

The two played around in the hallway for a while.

Li Fangge said she hadn’t slept well last night and needed a nap.

“Can I sit on the sofa and watch sister sleep?”

“No!” Li Fangge firmly refused.

If she let her into the room, something would definitely happen.

But even if she didn’t let her in, something still happened.

Li Fangge felt she hadn’t been asleep for long—not even enough time to have a nice dream—when she was jolted awake by a knocking sound.

Li Fangge was extremely annoyed, abruptly pulling the thin blanket over her head.

Evidently, the person knocking was as persistent as Chen Qiaoyi.

A gentle tapping force and a soft, delicate “Sister Li” kept coming through.

Unable to bear it any longer, Li Fangge threw off the blanket, slid out of bed, and went to open the door barefoot.

She held the doorknob, her tall body and arm tightly blocking the entrance, clearly not intending to let Guan Xiaoyu into the room—

At first, Guan Xiaoyu just looked at her, full of grievance, using her expressive eyes to say, “I promise I’ll be good, just let me watch sister.”

Li Fangge was unmoved.

The next moment, the delicate flower stepped forward, attempting to use her small body to push aside her arm and barge in.

Due to the disparity in strength, every attempt ended in the delicate flower’s failure.

“Stop fooling around, sister is really sleepy!”

Just this one sentence somehow made Guan Xiaoyu cry.

Li Fangge admired her ability to turn tears on and off at will.

Before knowing the delicate flower, she had truly never met an adult who could cry on command; even the triple-award-winning actress she knew couldn’t do it.

No matter how tearful and woeful the delicate flower was,

Today, Li Fangge was determined not to soften or give in.

Unexpectedly, Guan Xiaoyu’s tears flowed more and more. She cried with increasingly genuine emotion.

Li Fangge couldn’t help it; her heart somehow also gradually became damp.

“Sister Li, are you—are you, perhaps, find, finding me ugly, boo hoo hoo…” Guan Xiaoyu sobbed, crying as if something heartbreaking had happened to her.

Li Fangge genuinely hadn’t believed that a woman’s tears were a weapon before.

Now, she just wanted to say that her fiancée’s tears truly were a weapon, and a very potent one at that.
