My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 30.1

Tang Qiwu’s words pulled Guan Xiaoyu back from her momentary emptiness and loneliness.

“I’m afraid of your pheromones.” This sentence, spoken by Li Fangge, unfailingly stirred a bitter ache in her heart every time she recalled it.

It was a fatal problem when the person you liked was afraid of your pheromones.

Between an Alpha and an Omega, if one is afraid of the other’s pheromones, it indicates a mismatch in gene level. Whether a forced marking would succeed is one thing, but the intense pain caused by pheromone conflict is certain.

Given the huge disparity in their gene levels, Guan Xiaoyu was not surprised that Li Fangge would say such a thing.

But not being surprised did not mean she was indifferent to the fact that Li Fangge was afraid of her pheromones.

“What are you spacing out for?” Tang Qiwu urged her.

“Grandma, let me ask you—” Guan Xiaoyu’s voice had lost its usual vitality, sinking noticeably like a plant deprived of water. “Did Grandpa ever tell you that he was afraid of your pheromones?”

“So, Li Fangge has said this to you?”

Tang Qiwu always cut straight to the chase.

Guan Xiaoyu, standing under the white street lamp, nodded and asked back with a sense of injury, “So, Grandpa never said such a thing to you?”

“No,” Tang Qiwu looked at her crestfallen granddaughter. “It’s possible he endured it and didn’t say anything—”

“Is that so.” Guan Xiaoyu recalled the morning they reunited.

She hadn’t expected Li Fangge to come out to see her. Overwhelmed with excitement, her pheromones inadvertently lost control and diffused.

When she saw Li Fangge instinctively sniffing the air, she realized what was happening and subconsciously moved away.

“Strictly speaking, on that day, Sister Li didn’t have any special reaction when she smelled my pheromones—” Guan Xiaoyu continued to recall. “At that time, I was afraid my pheromones would affect her, so I backed away—”

Yesterday afternoon, she was only slightly excited.

Furthermore, both she and Li Fangge had taken suppressants, so the minuscule number of pheromones didn’t cause any reaction.

“You silly child!” Tang Qiwu interrupted her. “Why didn’t you mention such an important thing earlier? You only talk about trivial matters!”

“How can Sister Li being afraid of my pheromones be considered trivial?”

“Did you ask her how she was afraid of your pheromones?”

Guan Xiaoyu widened her eyes, as if she hadn’t considered asking that. “How else can one be afraid?”

“Given our gene level, what happens when a C-level Alpha smells our pheromones?”

“I don’t know. Except in front of Sister Li—” Guan Xiaoyu now understood why her grandmother said the information she previously disclosed was trivial. “I have never lost control in front of any other Alpha.”

Yes, whether Alpha or Omega, pheromone overflow is an indecent thing.

Moreover, the Pheromone Health Act stipulates that Alphas in their rut and Omegas in their heat must take pheromone suppressants if they absolutely have to be in public. Otherwise, if their pheromones cause social disorder, they will be prosecuted according to laws concerning the endangerment of public safety.

This is basic common sense, known to everyone.

Even though Guan Xiaoyu had never lost control in front of other Alphas, she knew how fatally attractive the pheromones of a high-level Omega are to a low-level Alpha.

At best, it causes the other party to become restless, harbor inappropriate desires, and generate an impulse to mark or be intimate with the Omega; at worst, it leads to agitation, madness, or even a complete loss of control. If a group is affected, it could even trigger social chaos, with unimaginable consequences.

“Was your pheromone overflow serious that day?”

No, wait!

Tang Qiwu paused. She was also an S-level Omega and deeply understood that it would be absolutely impossible for a regular C-level Alpha to remain undisturbed, even if they only smelled a tiny bit of an S-level Omega’s pheromones.

This is not related to severity, but only to whether one smelled it or not, and whether their resistance was high or low; as well as whether they had taken a strong suppressant beforehand.

“Sister Li, she—” Guan Xiaoyu suddenly understood her grandmother’s meaning. “She just gently sniffed the air twice. If it were any other C-level Alpha, I think they would have—”

“Exactly! If it were a regular C-level Alpha, they would have long since become agitated and frenzied! I knew it! This girl is just like your grandfather, no—she must be much stronger than your grandfather!”

“Grandma, really?!”

Guan Xiaoyu found her usually calm and composed grandmother’s excitement strange.

“The fact that she didn’t lose control on the spot after smelling your pheromones is an important signal.”

“Maybe she took a suppressant beforehand.”

Guan Xiaoyu was sure both of them had taken one yesterday, but she didn’t know about the day they reunited.

“Even if she took a suppressant, the difference in your levels is so great that an ordinary Alpha’s reaction couldn’t just be fear of your pheromones. This is the best explanation.”

Guan Xiaoyu knew what her grandmother meant, and her joy was palpable. “Then can I tell my dad—”

“No!” Tang Qiwu immediately stopped her. “Li Fangge has been depressed for so long after her first failed differentiation. Unless you can make this happen for real, don’t even mention it, because—”

“Oh, I understand.”

Guan Xiaoyu understood her grandmother’s meaning.

Although Li Fangge had the potential for a secondary differentiation, it didn’t mean she could differentiate into a higher-level Alpha like her grandfather.

If she differentiated again and her gene level remained unchanged, Guan Xiaoyu dared not imagine how Li Fangge would face that situation.

“Grandma, even if Sister Li cannot differentiate again, or cannot differentiate into a high-level Alpha like Grandpa, I will still—”

“Fool!”

Tang Qiwu interrupted her. She turned back and held her granddaughter’s hand. “Your grandmother has very good judgment.”

Even as she said this, she wasn’t entirely sure herself. Everything has two sides, and things that are highly probable are not necessarily immune to Murphy’s Law.

Despite this, she still hoped Li Fangge could be the exception.

She really did not want to see her granddaughter struggle so much, or see her life being used as a bargaining chip by her father repeatedly.

“Oh.” Guan Xiaoyu was even more dejected.

She knew that ‘judgment’ was an ambiguous thing; she wasn’t naive enough to blindly trust her grandmother’s judgment.

“Did you two not talk about this later? Didn’t you say you smelled Li Fangge’s pheromones that day too?”

“We did talk about it. Sister Li just acted—” Guan Xiaoyu paused.

Tang Qiwu tightened her grip, encouraging her to continue.

“I told Grandma, Sister Li didn’t have a big reaction at the time. Afterwards, Ye Zi said she was afraid of my pheromones.”

“What level of fear was Li Fangge’s fear? Did it cause unbearable physical and mental pain, or was she still able to quietly walk away from you after smelling it, and then go look for another Omega—”

“Grandma!” Guan Xiaoyu angrily shook off her grandmother’s hand. “Sister Li wouldn’t do that, I trust her!”

In fact, she knew that if she fully trusted Li Fangge, she wouldn’t be so emotional right now.

“Still too young,” Tang Qiwu sighed with affection. “You are completely ignorant of the power of your own pheromones.”

“Grandma, I don’t want Sister Li to be afraid of my pheromones.”

“She’s afraid, so you’re going to back down? I told you, you can use your brain.”

“Actually, I also asked Sister Li if she liked my pheromones—”

“What did she say?”

“That day on the street—” Guan Xiaoyu remembered that night. In a way, it was a beautiful night.

They had originally planned to watch the sunset at the beach that day, but Li Fangge broke the date.

For Guan Xiaoyu, a day that was full of hope ended up leaving her incredibly disappointed.

She went to find her, but Li Fangge wouldn’t even let her enter her house.

Her behavior was very strange at the time. She handed her a blank letter. Guan Xiaoyu could actually guess what she wanted to say, but she didn’t let her say it, and unilaterally told her not to hide from her anymore.

Li Fangge made no commitment.

Guan Xiaoyu watched her tightly close the door behind her, heartbroken.

She thought she and Li Fangge could not progress any further.

But at night, she ran into Li Fangge at A Transient Dream. The night of unexpected gains magically began.

Even now, the sight of Li Fangge taking off her wig and smoothing her hair, the tone of her voice as she peeled off the fake mole and self-deprecatingly joked, every word they spoke walking on the street, every step they took together on the highway bridge, are still vivid in her mind.

The wind, the lights, and Ludu were all exceptionally beautiful that night.

Guan Xiaoyu thought she would never forget the moon that night.

“That day on the street, I asked Sister Li if she liked my pheromones. She didn’t answer me directly, didn’t say she liked them, and didn’t say she didn’t like them. I think liking and fearing are not the same thing—”

“Get to the point!”

“Oh!” Guan Xiaoyu was still lost in the memory of that night.

It wasn’t a date, but she felt that everything that happened unexpectedly was much better than a formal date. “Later, the subject got sidetracked by other things, and I forgot to follow up.”

“You forgot such an important thing?”

“Because that night I saw a sister wearing Sister Li’s shirt, so—”

“So you got jealous!”

“Grandma—”

Actually, it wasn’t entirely because of that.

But regarding the possibility that her sister might actually like that Beta big sister, Guan Xiaoyu thought about it and decided to keep it a secret for now.

If this were exposed, it would absolutely be more devastating for her father than her insistence on marrying Li Fangge.

Her father was determined to groom her sister as his successor and would absolutely not accept her being with a Beta.

“Grandma, am I completely blinded by love?”

“Anyone would be drawn to someone like Li Fangge.”

Guan Xiaoyu was very surprised. Her grandmother didn’t criticize her; she actually praised and affirmed Li Fangge.

“But my dad—”

“Your dad—” Tang Qiwu scoffed dismissively. “His eyes are only on money, power, and your mother, nothing else!”

“Pffft—” Guan Xiaoyu couldn’t help but laugh. “Grandma, is it because they eloped back then that you don’t like my mom and dad?”

“Both of them are classless.”

“Grandma, I will openly and honestly marry Sister Li.”

“That’s more like it.”

The grandmother and granddaughter walked in silence for a while.

Tang Qiwang said, “It’s still the same advice: nothing ventured, nothing gained. You need to take action.”

“Grandma, is it really possible?”

Guan Xiaoyu was supremely confident in everything, but when it came to Li Fangge, she sometimes felt this hesitation and uncertainty.

“To truly marry her, you have to sleep with her first.”

“What if I don’t succeed?”
