My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 28.1

“Let me introduce you to someone—”

Seeing her younger sister approach, Guan Xiaoyan said, “Sister.”

Guan Xiaoyu stopped, tilted her head, and looked at the sharp-featured woman next to her sister. She said to her in a playful tone, “What should I do? I already have a sister.”

Her words carried a double meaning. She was referring to the chaotic scene in the main hall earlier,

and also implying that she was already married. Although this seemed redundant, there was a big difference between hearing it from someone else and stating it herself.

The woman’s sharp gaze suddenly softened. She curved the corner of her mouth and looked at Guan Xiaoyu with interest. “Does your sister not allow you to get to know other sisters?”

The woman also spoke with a double meaning. After speaking, she glanced at Guan Xiaoyan.

“Not at all. I was warning myself not to harbor any improper thoughts toward other pretty sisters.”

Guan Xiaoyu clasped her hands behind her back and swayed slightly, looking as graceful as a willow branch.

“I can tell,” the woman’s smile deepened.

Guan Xiaoyan said, “My classmate, Zheng Lier.”

She did not introduce Guan Xiaoyu, suggesting she had already mentioned her to Zheng Lier earlier.

“Hello, Sister,” Guan Xiaoyu stood up straight.

She was quite annoyed right now. The incident in the hall earlier seemed like just being publicly kissed forcefully, and the basic facts were simple. Regardless of how others saw it, thought about it, or gossiped about it, a storm was likely inevitable once it reached her father’s ears.

“Hello,” Zheng Lier extended her hand.

Guan Xiaoyu briefly shook hands with her.

The three of them got into the waiting car together.

To Guan Xiaoyu’s great surprise, when they returned home, her father was actually in a very good mood. It was rare for him to be so clear-headed.

Afterward, Guan Xiaoyu could only think of one reason: Zheng Lier stayed at their house overnight.

Only then did she understand why her sister had pleaded with her earlier: her father must have suddenly instructed her sister to introduce Zheng Lier to him.

Absolutely unthinkable!

Compared to being inexplicably splashed with drama by Jiang Xiyun at the banquet, her father and sister colluding to set her up angered Guan Xiaoyu even more.

At times like this, she always felt compelled to call her maternal grandmother.

“You shouldn’t always be soft-hearted toward your sister!” On the other end, Tang Qiwu immediately hit Guan Xiaoyu’s weak spot.

“But my sister—” she unconsciously frowned, “No one genuinely treats her well in this family.”

“In your Guan family, they only talk about benefit. What are you talking about, genuine feelings?”

“Grandma, you know I’m not like that.”

“You should change your name to Tang Xiaoyu.”

“I’d be very willing to.”

“Hurry up and get to the point. It’s my bedtime, and I don’t have time to mess around with you.”

“Grandma, can you tell me how you ‘pushed down’ Grandpa back then?”

“You silly child, of course, I used my hands. What else would I use?”

“Sigh! It seems my hands aren’t sexy enough, they can’t even push down Sister Li.”

“It’s your brain that isn’t sexy enough.”

“Grandma, can you teach me how to make my brain sexy?”

“Hiss—” Tang Qiwu sometimes found her granddaughter terribly naive. She highly doubted whether her twenty-one-year-old self was truly an adult woman. “That’s a realm that everyone needs to figure out for themselves. It can’t be taught.”

“I don’t believe Grandpa was that easy to push down.”

“Fool, it’s not that your Grandpa was easy to push down; it’s that your Grandma—has charm and capability.”

“What charm and capability?!”

“Explaining it too clearly is boring.”

“Can’t Grandma reveal a little bit to me?”

“Go figure it out yourself.”

“There’s no time. My parents are constantly making trouble for me and introducing people. I have to speed up to ‘push down’ Sister Li.”

“You can get into her room and sleep next to her. You have the qualifications and potential.”

“Grandma, Sister Li says she’s afraid of my pheromones. If I force myself on her, will she die?”

“Die of pleasure, you mean?”

“Grandma!!”

“What else? I’ve never heard of an Alpha dying because of an Omega’s pheromones at my age,” Tang Qiwu paused, then added, “But there have been quite a few who went mad or crazy.”

“Grandma, don’t scare me!”

“Do you think I’m trying to scare you?”

“When you say it like that, I’m even more afraid to act rashly.”

“You really are a fool.”

“Why?”

“A brain is thousands of times sexier than pheromones. You don’t even need pheromones at all.”

“Grandma, I want to understand right now.”

“Then go find your sister who can’t be helped, and you will naturally understand then.”

“I won’t let you talk about Sister Li like that.”

“Go to sleep. Your brain still needs more development.”

“Grandma, you—” How can you personally attack me?

The phone was abruptly hung up on the other end.

Guan Xiaoyu put away the phone glumly.

It had been almost six hours since she parted with Sister Li. Had she thought of her even once?

She pulled up their chat window and stared blankly at it.

She used to send messages to Li Fangge without such hesitation, but tonight, seeing everyone vying to show her affection, and recalling those scenes and contrasting them with Li Fangge’s attitude, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t a little disappointed.

But it was only a moment of disappointment.

Just then, her phone vibrated.

Guan Xiaoyu thought it was someone she had met tonight trying to strike up a conversation again.

Picking up the phone, the moment she saw Li Fangge’s name, she was so happy that she almost jumped to the ceiling.

She cupped the phone with both hands and checked again. “Wahahaha, muhuohuo, yugagaga, miiaomiao…”

Looking at Li Fangge’s name, she was as happy as her father was when he first saw Zheng Lier, smiling uncontrollably.

You shouldn’t be like him! Guan Xiaoyu solemnly warned herself, but immediately rationalized: Well, I am his biological daughter, so I’ll allow you to be like him just a tiny bit…

Unlocking the phone, she saw Li Fangge’s messages:

“How was the banquet?”

“Did you get home?”

Waaaah! Guan Xiaoyu jumped high again. Two messages!

Just like the day she reunited with Li Fangge after many years, Guan Xiaoyu was so excited that her pheromones unconsciously overflowed. The room was suddenly filled with the scent of orange blossoms, but she was completely unaware as she lowered her head to reply.

“Sister Li, let me tell you something dramatic—”

“You promise not to get angry when you hear it, okay—” Ah, get angry! Get so angry you throw things!

“So—” Guan Xiaoyu thought, the gossip would spread quickly anyway.

She preferred to tell Li Fangge herself rather than have her hear it from elsewhere.

On the other side, Li Fangge kept staring at the ‘Opposite is typing’ indicator at the top of the screen.

She, who was usually a gossip enthusiast, experienced the excitement of getting the scoop for the first time. Since Guan Xiaoyu was giving a warning, it was almost certainly about her. “Hurry up and tell me!” How else will this sister know if she’ll get angry?

After a while, Guan Xiaoyu sent a long voice message,

detailing why she was hungry, her feelings upon finding the cherry cupcake, and how being kissed left her stunned for a long time, unsure whether she should be annoyed or annoyed.

In the second voice message, she explained why she didn’t get angry at Jiang Xiyun.

“Sister Li, it turns out that even the most glamorous people have a dark side, or rather, the more glamorous they are, the heavier their shadow often is. In the end, I chose not to expose that sister. Of course, everyone knows the truth anyway.

“I used to think that being born into a privileged life was an unparalleled stroke of luck, but now I think that if we were in an ordinary family, one without any obsession with genetic hierarchy, whether it’s us or Jiang Xiyun, perhaps there would be fewer obstacles in our emotional path.

“Maybe everyone has problems like this in their lives, so I hope everyone can be a little braver, a little more resolute, a little more independent, and try hard to fight for what they truly want, live a life closer to what they desire, and become or be closer to the person they like to be.

“Jiang Xiyun kissed me because she wanted to use me to announce her OO-relationship to everyone—

“I realized that love is so hard.

“But I still feel that no matter how difficult it is, everyone can choose to face the challenge, strive for the life they want, instead of succumbing to family expectations and the bondage of fate.

“I’ve decided to forgive Jiang Xiyun for using me.”

Li Fangge listened to this voice message twice.

Before tonight, she hadn’t quite understood Guan Xiaoyu’s deep affection. Now she understood.

This was a woman who was bravely pursuing what she wanted, a clear-headed woman who absolutely refused to be complacent.

This was so much like her back then, when she decided to sing and couldn’t be turned back, even when her father threatened to cut her off.

She realized they shared the same level of self-regard: pursuing what they wanted and absolutely unafraid to pay the price for it; to be themselves, they would not easily accept the arrangements of fate.

“Where did Jiang Xiyun kiss you?”

After sending the message, Li Fangge realized her chest felt tight.

An unprecedented, strange feeling filled her heart, like jealousy or anger.

“Sister Li, should I not have forgiven her?”

“Is that what I asked?”

“I’ve already washed my face several times.”

“I see. Whether to forgive her or not is your own business.”

Li Fangge looked at the message she sent, the phone’s reflection illuminating her insincerity.

“That’s just how life is. I’m sitting in my sister’s house, and drama just falls from the sky. Seriously, Sister Li, don’t you have any thoughts about this? I thought Sister would react more intensely than just asking where she was kissed—”
