My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 34.2
Tonight, Li Fangge finished all the food Yin Xiaoyou cooked for the first time.
This feat not only stunned herself but also left Chen Qiaoyi and Yin Xiaoyou wide-eyed. Both simultaneously thought, Is this because of Guang Xiaoyu’s pheromones? Amazing!
With a full belly, Li Fangge was in a great mood, even temporarily forgetting her debt worries.
After dinner, she took a walk alone in the garden.
Around eight o’clock, she curled up on the sofa watching a celebrity’s concert live stream.
She had to admit, it was pretty terrible. The singing wasn’t good, the setlist arrangement was utterly chaotic, and the star’s makeup and outfit were indescribable.
Yet, the fans were enthralled,
So much so that Li Fangge impulsively had the idea that it was time for her to debut and save the world of popular music.
Of course, she didn’t voice her criticism, just sulkily/moodily turned off the TV.
Returning to her room, she lay on the bed reading a poetry collection. There were many good poetry collections in this world. Some poems, as Li Fangge read them, she could spontaneously sing into a song.
A sudden voice call ringtone interrupted her singing. Without looking, she knew it had to be Guang Xiaoyu.
Putting down the book, she turned and reached for the phone on the bedside table. Sure enough, seeing the five characters “Clingy Fiancée,” a beautiful curve formed on Li Fangge’s red lips.
Although she still didn’t like video calls, she answered without hesitation.
“Big Sister Li, how are you, how are you?—You took so long to answer. Are you alright, big sister? I’ve been worried sick all evening. Alas! As soon as I got in the car, I was held up by all kinds of calls and messages, and after getting home, it was even worse. Everyone was throwing all sorts of questions at me, like interrogating a criminal, and I only just now—Big Sister Li, are you okay?”
As soon as the video connected, Guang Xiaoyu began frantically asking questions, speaking quickly and urgently. Was it worry or annoyance that dominated?
Li Fangge, sitting on the bed, unconsciously shrugged and smiled faintly into the phone. “Do I look like I’m in trouble, big sister?”
On the other end, Guang Xiaoyu’s eyes widened, and her entire face was practically pressed against the screen.
It gave Li Fangge the feeling that she wanted to pass through the screen. Even though the actual distance didn’t change, she unconsciously pulled the phone away.
“So, Big Sister Li, are you alright every time you smell my pheromones? I know you were fine last time. The first time and today, I wasn’t next to big sister, so—”
“…So, it’s just like you see.”
Li Fangge naturally smoothed her long hair over her shoulder with her left hand.
The scenes from the bathroom during the day had not faded with the heat and flush of her body.
With Guang Xiaoyu asking this, many details uncontrollably resurfaced in her mind.
Looking at the Jiaohua on the phone screen, Li Fangge felt a bit absent-minded. That desperate urge to merge with her seemed to return. So, she subtly shifted her gaze, lest her eyes reveal her thoughts.
“Impossible, Big Sister Li, can you tell me the truth?”
Guang Xiaoyu also looked anxious, as if the truth was extremely important to her. “If you’re fine, why are you afraid of my pheromones?”
“Isn’t it natural for me to be afraid of your pheromones?”
Li Fangge’s words were impeccable. All low-grade Alphas, when affected by high-grade Omega pheromones, suffer immense pain due to their inability to mark the other party, while the Omega can remain unharmed. This is basic common knowledge.
“But—” Guang Xiaoyu’s face moved away, and she lowered her eyes. “I really want to know, what exactly happened after big sister smelled my pheromones?”
“I guess, each time, I took a powerful inhibitor, so, there was only a little discomfort.”
When lying, Li Fangge’s speech rate would unconsciously slow down, and her phrasing would also be a bit strange.
Feeling guilty, her blink rate unconsciously increased.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know why, but I become like this in front of big sister.”
Guang Xiaoyu looked extremely remorseful.
Li Fangge smiled again, once more recalling what Bai Shao had said: “I can’t think of any other reason besides love.”
Guang Xiaoyu wasn’t unaware of her own heart; she was just worried and confused right now.
“Big Sister Li, how about I go get a scent gland ligation surgery?” Guang Xiaoyu seemed to have made a huge decision. Her expression and tone were serious.
“No way!” Li Fangge immediately stopped her, the urgency causing her pitch to suddenly rise by a few degrees.
Scent gland ligation surgery involves tying off the pheromone ducts, preventing the release of pheromones.
This is different from the principle of inhibitors, which use medicine to suppress scent gland swelling but don’t fundamentally affect pheromone release. Ligation surgery, on the other hand, blocks pheromone release and can cause many irreversible health issues.
“I told you, I won’t allow myself to hurt Big Sister Li either.”
“You haven’t.”
“These few times were at home. What if this happens outside one day, wouldn’t that be—”
Li Fangge interrupted her, “You underestimate Big Sister’s willpower.”
“Is that so?”
Guang Xiaoyu showed an expression mixed with worry and doubt. “Big Sister Li, let me ask you, after smelling my pheromones, do you want to mark me?”
A soul-searching question was posed so unexpectedly.
Whether she wanted to or not, the answer was only too obvious.
Li Fangge paused for a moment, meeting Guang Xiaoyu’s gaze again. She hesitated about whether to be honest. “Does it make a difference whether I want to or not? Big sister can’t do it anyway.”
After speaking, she awkwardly scratched the back of her head. Even without personally confirming it, just saying she couldn’t be already a blow to her pride.
At this moment, she somewhat understood why the Scummy Alpha had to push away all those young girls who coveted her body.
She chose to hurt others’ hearts rather than damage her own pride.
“Big Sister Li, how do you know you can’t when you haven’t even tried?” Guang Xiaoyu spoke naturally, without any embarrassment in her expression. “Of course, there’s a difference between wanting to and not wanting to. If big sister wants to, as long as big sister wants to, we can try anytime. Otherwise—”
“Hey!!” Li Fangge grew agitated.
Admitting she couldn’t be one thing; not being able to when the time came was another.
Like the Scummy Alpha, she couldn’t take that risk. “Big sister told you, big sister is a very traditional woman and absolutely cannot accept premarital sex. Let’s talk about this later.”
“Big Sister Li, what I mean is, common knowledge is common knowledge, but not everyone will—”
“When I smell your pheromones, even though big sister takes an inhibitor, she still will—” Li Fangge’s face felt hot, but if she didn’t say it, Guang Xiaoyu clearly wouldn’t give up. “I still get restless and find it hard to control myself. I know it won’t work without trying.”
“I truly am—too willful. Big Sister Li is so pained and troubled, and I’m still giving big sister a hard time.”
“Who told you you’re my fiancée? It’s still not too late to regret it now.”
“Big Sister Li!!”
“What?” Li Fangge played innocent.
“Please don’t say a single word like that again!!”
Even through the screen, Guang Xiaoyu looked angry, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
Saying they couldn’t be together was her bottom line, making her cry in an instant.
“Okay, okay, big sister was wrong. Big sister definitely won’t say a single word like that again.”
“That’s more like it.”
“You really love to cry.”
“It’s all because Big Sister Li provokes me.”
“Big sister was wrong.”
“Oh, right—Big Sister Li’s debt, have you thought of a solution?”
“I have,” Li Fangge said easily.
But deep down, she had no confidence at all. She planned to retrieve her car tomorrow and visit Lord Pu again.
High-interest loans are truly harmful and completely untouchable.
“Really?” Guang Xiaoyu’s tone was full of concern.
“Tell me about your things,” Li Fangge said. She had actually been thinking about Guang Xiaoyu’s dinner. “Tell big sister, did anything special happen when Zheng Lier came to your house for dinner?”
She couldn’t avoid this person.
She said it casually, as if mentioning Zheng Lier was just to switch to a topic that wasn’t too off-topic.
“Why is Big Sister Li so concerned about Zheng Lier?”
“Guang Xiaoyu—” Li Fangge deliberately drew out her words, preparing to turn the tables. “If my father insisted on forcing an Omega on me and invited her to dinner at my house, wouldn’t you be concerned?”
“Pfft—” Guang Xiaoyu chuckled, and the tearfulness in her eyes dissipated. “Big Sister Li trusts me, but is also jealous.”
Such a misunderstanding was very useful.
Li Fangge nodded and retorted, “Shouldn’t big sister be jealous?”
Guang Xiaoyu smiled sweetly. “Speaking of Zheng Lier, something really funny happened tonight. If big sister had seen my dad’s face at the time, you’d be thrilled.”
Li Fangge had thought the Jiaohua would be annoyed by Zheng Lier, but it seemed the opposite was true.
“Stop building suspense, hurry up and tell me.”
