My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 33.2

After a moment of silence, she sulked, “I don’t care. That’s a separate matter from Big Sister visiting me.”

“The reason Big Sister invited you for dinner was to make up for that, but alas—”

Li Fangge sighed deeply, looking at the lush green garden as she continued, “When Big Sister broke the appointment, at least you could still find me; some people are too much when they break an appointment, flying thousands of miles away after one phone call and not sending a single message all day.”

“Okay, okay!”

Guan Xiaoyu recalled the day she first arrived in Lujing.

She was busy all day, and when she got home late at night, she hadn’t heard from Li Fangge.

At this moment, she realized that Li Fangge had also been waiting for her messages that day—

She gently pulled at Li Fangge’s sleeve, “Big Sister Li, I’m sorry, oh.”

Hearing her apology, Li Fangge withdrew her gaze from the garden, turned slightly to the left, and looked down at the small hand tugging at her sleeve. Her hand was very small, porcelain white and delicate, with plump, translucent pink fingernails.

“I will visit you,” she said. “You should go back now.”

Down the steps, Hong Tao had already opened the car door and had been waiting for a long time.

Guan Xiaoyu didn’t move. She retracted her hand, raised her head slightly, and looked into Li Fangge’s eyes, “Big Sister Li, there’s one thing I’ve wanted to ask you for a long time.”

Wanted to ask for a long time? Held back and didn’t ask?

Li Fangge didn’t think that was like her style. Unless it wasn’t about herself, she really didn’t think Guan Xiaoyu could hold back a question for long.

“Really?” Her tone was a little careless, but the delicate flower was clearly being inconsistent.

“I was just—” Guan Xiaoyu lowered her eyes.

Now, there was a genuine hint of wanting to ask but holding back in her voice.

“Ask away,” Li Fangge still preferred her direct, confident self.

“Big Sister Li, when will we fulfill our engagement?”

In her heart, she hoped for her to be direct and open, but when she was completely unreserved and laid all her cards on the table, Li Fangge felt a bit overwhelmed.

Guan Xiaoyu was always like this, delivering a heavy blow every now and then.

“Big Sister doesn’t have to wait until she’s famous worldwide, I—”

Guan Xiaoyu looked up. Whenever she had something important to say, she would always look straight into the other person’s eyes.

Li Fangge felt a little guilty under her gaze, but she still met her eyes earnestly, patiently waiting for her to continue.

“As long as the person I marry is Big Sister Li, I don’t mind fame, status, genetic grade, worldly opinions, or interference from others. As long as Big Sister has me in her heart, that’s enough. I want to marry Big Sister a little earlier.”

Hong Tao by the car door saw they were going to continue talking and tactfully withdrew.

After Hong Tao’s car drove away, Li Fangge quietly asked, “Why?”

She wanted to know why, when she had previously said she would wait until Li Fangge was ready, she had changed to wanting to marry earlier after only a few days apart.

“Big Sister Li, to be honest—” Guan Xiaoyu hesitated, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowing.

A hint of annoyance spread through her eyes, “I’m sick of my father constantly trying to manipulate my marriage—of course, the first time, our engagement, I was very grateful to him, though I told you I like Big Sister not because of the engagement. Now, I simply can’t stand him disregarding my wishes and our engagement, and trying to manipulate my life again.

“My dad invited Zheng Lier to my house today, and the truth is—Zheng Lier is one of the partners my dad has tried every possible way to introduce to me.

“Even just a passive acquaintance makes me feel like I’m betraying myself and Big Sister.

“This feeling is awful, and I don’t like it. Big Sister knows my heart and trusts my character. I don’t want to allow anyone, including myself, to do anything that might harm our engagement and feelings.

“That’s why I want to marry Big Sister a little earlier. Yes, I said I would wait until Big Sister Li was ready, so this is just my one-sided wish.”

Guan Xiaoyu spoke a lot in one breath.

Li Fangge’s heart was a mix of emotions, but her expression remained calm. She genuinely understood her heart and believed in her character, but hearing the name Zheng Lier always triggered a primal repulsion and dislike in her.

“Big Sister Li, aren’t you going to say something?”

“Guan Xiaoyu,” calling her by her full name, Li Fangge felt a surge of annoyed guilt, “Do you really think marriage is as simple as getting two marriage certificates?”

As expected, Guan Xiaoyu said, “It can be that simple. For me, as long as I can live with Big Sister Li, that’s all that matters. As for what others say, I don’t care.”

“What about you?” Li Fangge’s heart constricted tightly. She truly didn’t want to say this, but she had to. “If your body resists, or my body resists, that’s also a form of harm to us. Wouldn’t you mind?”

Guan Xiaoyu seemed to have anticipated Li Fangge asking this.

She smiled, a smile that was a little pale and tragic, and said, “I wonder if Big Sister Li has ever considered that there’s a solution that works once and for all? If it’s truly as painful as the rumors say, we could have our scent glands blocked or removed.”

Li Fangge always underestimated Guan Xiaoyu’s unwavering devotion and deep affection.

Blocking or removing the scent gland has severe health drawbacks. Removing the gland meant losing physiological desire and the chance to personally have offspring. Gland blocking would seriously affect one’s physical health.

Even coming from another world, Li Fangge was profoundly shaken by Guan Xiaoyu’s words.

“I haven’t thought of that,” Li Fangge was telling the truth. “We don’t need to go that far, do we?”

“If my body scares Big Sister Li—”

Guan Xiaoyu looked away; her tone surprisingly calm. This indicated that she had thought through all of this more than once before saying it. “I won’t allow anyone to hurt Big Sister, including myself. What’s a mere scent gland?!”

She didn’t ask if Li Fangge was willing to offer the same level of sacrifice.

This was what made Li Fangge’s heart ache the most. “Maybe there will be a turning point.”

“Alright then.”

Guan Xiaoyu seemed to have persuaded herself internally. She looked back into Li Fangge’s eyes, “Big Sister Li, if any rumors or gossip reach your ears, please don’t believe them, okay?”

“Why?”

“My dad invited Zheng Lier to dinner at our house tonight. Rumors about that might spread, or—”

“I won’t believe them.”

Li Fangge smiled, but her smile was a little forced. She wouldn’t believe them, but that didn’t mean she didn’t mind. Zheng Lier remained an extremely dangerous person to her.

“By the way, did the double compensation she promised Big Sister arrive?”

“It did.”

Li Fangge said faintly. The repair shop had already called, saying her car had been completely renovated and was ready for her to pick up anytime.

“Then I’ll head home now.”

“That—” Li Fangge paused, “Can we postpone the marriage a little longer?”

She didn’t like leaving things unresolved, nor did she like stringing people along. She added, “We’re still young, we can wait a little longer. I want to—”

“What does Big Sister want?”

“I want to try my best to keep the promises I’ve made to you.”

Though her tone was casual, Li Fangge was actually very serious.

“Mhm.” Guan Xiaoyu nodded with a smile. Without realizing it, tears welled up in her eyes.

“Silly girl, you’re crying over this too?”

“Big Sister Li, I’m just so happy, you know.”

Guan Xiaoyu said, quickly wiping away the pouring tears with the back of her hand.

“Cry when you’re angry, cry when you’re unhappy, cry when you’re happy—tell me, how many times a day do you cry?”

“Big Sister Li, I actually don’t want to cry. It’s just that since I met Big Sister Li, my tears have become especially profuse. Anyone who wants to make me cry can do it just by casually insulting Big Sister Li a few times.”

Guan Xiaoyu turned her face away, feeling embarrassed.

Li Fangge extended her right hand, gently turned Guan Xiaoyu’s small face back, and wiped away her tears with her sleeve, saying with a smile, “Are you self-sabotaging by exposing your weakness?”

“Li Fangge truly is my weakness.”

“Then—” Li Fangge rubbed her cheek, saying, “Big Sister will go work hard now. Maybe in the future, I can become your armor.”

“Thank you—” Tears fiercely rushed out of Guan Xiaoyu’s recently dried eyes again, “Thank, thank you, Big Sister, oh!”

“Big Sister thanks you too.”

Li Fangge said sincerely. Yes, if this world didn’t have Guan Xiaoyu, she would truly struggle to continue. Because of Guan Xiaoyu, Li Fangge felt that this world was much better. Even being at a low point wasn’t so unbearable.

“Big Sister Li, hug me.”

“It seems—”

Li Fangge gently sniffed, “It seems there’s the scent of orange blossoms.”

“Oh no—I must have taken a fake inhibitor.” Guan Xiaoyu instantly broke free from Li Fangge’s hand, “Big Sister Li, I’m going home now. You must come visit me.”

With that, she ran down the steps and rushed towards the car a short distance away.

“Definitely.”

Li Fangge shouted after her retreating figure. Her clear and melodious voice was mixed with excitement and joy.

It feels like falling in love. Is this what they call being in love?

Guan Xiaoyu seemed not to hear. She kept running forward until she reached her car, where she suddenly turned around, waved her left hand at Li Fangge with a tearful smile, and loudly responded: “Big Sister Li, I’m waiting for you.”

“You wait for me.”

Li Fangge on the steps also raised her left hand, waving continuously at her.

Her gaze gradually became a little hazy. Guan Xiaoyu’s scent made her feel languid and light.

She was inexplicably happy, with an inexplicable urge to follow Guan Xiaoyu, so much so that she couldn’t take her eyes off the direction she had departed…
