My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 37.2

“There’s no need, is there? After something like this happens, he definitely wouldn’t want us to see him.”

Having a pheromone leak in a public place is not a glorious thing for anyone.

Li Fangge knew what Guan Xiaoyu was annoyed about, but she didn’t want to discuss what happened at the restaurant in front of Hong Tao.

The silence that had just been broken quickly descended again, covering them like a heavy curtain.

The light turned green, and Hong Tao suddenly didn’t know which way to turn.

The car behind them honked, and Li Fangge said, “Drop me home first.”

The momentarily lost Hong Tao instantly had a target.

The car entered Binhai Road. Li Fangge followed Guan Xiaoyu’s gaze, looking through the car window. In the distance were the azure sea and the clear blue sky. White seabirds flew freely between the sky and the sea.

Beaches, coconut groves, and tourists in cool clothing flashed quickly past their eyes.

“Shall we take a walk on the beach?” Li Fangge blurted out inexplicably.

She didn’t want to go home like this. What happened today was a bit dramatic, and a bit unexpected.

Chen Beizhe was a difficult person to read. Li Fangge didn’t know what kind of heart was hidden beneath that pale and fragile face.

And what exactly caused his pheromone leak?

It certainly couldn’t be because of Guan Xiaoyu, could it?

After all, he barely looked at her the whole time.

Guan Xiaoyu didn’t show any strange symptoms, so she couldn’t have influenced him with her pheromones.

Because of herself?

Li Fangge found this utterly ridiculous. She and Chen Beizhe were both Alphas. According to Guan Xiaoyu, an S-class Alpha would never be affected by a C-class Alpha, especially since her pheromones hadn’t leaked either.

Excluding these possibilities, Li Fangge considered one more: that Chen Beizhe hadn’t taken an inhibitor.

But this possibility was even smaller. Did he actively release them?

Even more impossible. Actively releasing pheromones in a public place is a violation of the Pheromone Health Law. No rational person would knowingly commit such an offense.

Li Fangge was at a loss.

Guan Xiaoyu didn’t commit to an answer about Li Fangge’s suggestion to “take a walk on the beach.”

Li Fangge knew she must be too angry to respond.

“If you don’t want to go, then forget it.” She withdrew her gaze and simultaneously gathered her scattered thoughts.

Perhaps she was overthinking it. How could Chen Beizhe, a person who didn’t exist in the original book, be an obstacle to their engagement?

Li Fangge disliked and wasn’t skilled at comforting. Whether she was unhappy or someone else was, she usually either did something else to distract herself and let the emotion pass, or stayed by their side and waited for the other person to confide.

Similarly, she wasn’t fond of confiding in others. As for the misfortune that happened to her—

Could transmigrating into a book be called misfortune? Maybe not entirely, after all, she got a new life.

Since arriving in this unfamiliar world, she had a pile of unanswered questions:

For instance, where did the scum Alpha who owned the body go? Why did so many people in this world look exactly like people from her original world? For example, many of the scenery, people’s language, writing, and many habits, even food, clothing, housing, and transportation, were very similar to her original world…

All of these questions were still piled up in her heart, not yet fully processed.

However, she had more important matters to deal with than these, leaving her no time for other considerations—

“I didn’t say I wasn’t going.”

Guan Xiaoyu’s voice was subdued. She also withdrew her gaze, as if she had finally figured something out.

“Sister Hong Tao, Sister Li and I will get off here. You go have lunch first.”

“Alright.”

Hong Tao quickly parked the car in a temporary parking spot under a row of large palm trees.

Li Fangge got out first. As she walked around the back of the car, Guan Xiaoyu didn’t wait for someone to open the door for her as usual but impatiently pushed the door open and stepped out.

Long after Hong Tao drove away, they were still standing under the shade of the large palm trees, looking at each other.

The midday sun was shimmering, and the sea breeze carried a warm heat, fluttering their long hair.

Wearing sunglasses, Li Fangge looked cool and sharp. With the wind blowing her hair back, her neck looked whiter and longer.

Her lips always had such clear lines and a perpetually rosy color.

Guan Xiaoyu could understand why Chen Beizhe had stared so blankly, unable to look away.

Li Fangge, who used to always wear a wig when going out, wasn’t wearing one today.

Her original hair was thousands of times more beautiful than the wig. In the sunlight, her thick, dark hair shone with a beautiful, seaweed-like luster, looking incredibly charming.

“Sister Li doesn’t need to wear a wig today—”

Guan Xiaoyu had said this when she came to pick up Li Fangge before going to meet Chen Beizhe.

Li Fangge, who had just picked up her wig, paused, then remembered that Chen Beizhe was her creditor, so there was indeed no need to wear one.

Guan Xiaoyu had only thought about making Li Fangge comfortable. If not for the scene in the restaurant, she would have forgotten that she, too, was initially attracted by Li Fangge’s appearance.

It was perfectly normal for people to take a second look at anything beautiful.

Especially a great beauty like Li Fangge, who was simply captivating.

Staring at her mouth, Guan Xiaoyu remembered the day she first met Li Fangge. Only then did she suddenly realize that perhaps she had looked even dumber than Chen Beizhe did just now.

“Sister Li, can you take off your sunglasses? Right now, I want you to kiss me.”

It wasn’t that Guan Xiaoyu didn’t want to enjoy the beach with her.

It was just that Li Fangge wasn’t wearing her wig today, and she didn’t want her to be harmed or to have random people staring at her constantly.

She wanted to protect her, and she wanted to possess her exclusively.

With both feelings intertwined, her response was delayed by a few beats when Li Fangge asked her that question.

“Guan Xiaoyu, the whole world already knows that I am your fiancée,” Li Fangge said. She obeyed and gently took off the sunglasses she had just put on. Her eyes were bright like gems and deep like a well. “You don’t need to declare ownership like this. You don’t need to feel so insecure. Because I also only have eyes for you now. Everyone else is just everyone else to me.”

Completely unprepared and entirely unexpected,

The confession naturally spilled out.

Before this moment, Li Fangge wasn’t sure how deep her feelings for Guan Xiaoyu were. But now, standing in the sea breeze, looking at Guan Xiaoyu’s slightly troubled eyes and somewhat dejected face, she knew that even though there were still many obstacles ahead and the future of their relationship was clouded,

At this moment, she knew she liked her.

She wanted to tell her clearly and distinctly that her eyes and her heart no longer wanted to pay attention to anyone else but her.

“Sister Li, is that really true?!”

Guan Xiaoyu was stunned.

This sudden confession sent her into a state of shocked bewilderment.

Immediately, she realized that everything she had just heard was real.

A bright, spark-like smile surfaced at the corners of her eyes and her cherry lips, instantly chasing away the sorrow and dejection on her face. “Sister Li, are you telling the truth—”

Li Fangge didn’t allow her to continue.

She took a step forward, reached out her long arm, gently cupped the back of Guan Xiaoyu’s head, and leaned down without hesitation.

If a single kiss could eliminate the uncertainty and uneasy speculation Guan Xiaoyu harbored, she could do it without a moment’s delay.

Even at the risk of having a public pheromone leak like Chen Beizhe,

Even though more and more tourists were stopping to watch and whispering—

Li Fangge could feel Guan Xiaoyu’s stiffness, even a slight resistance.

It was the same last time. She was always the one provoking, but when it came to the actual physical act, Guan Xiaoyu was far less natural and uninhibited than her words suggested.

It was nothing more than a pressing of lips, just a comforting kiss.

But they held the embrace for an unusually long time.

Neither the nervously stiff Guan Xiaoyu nor the in-control Li Fangge showed any intention of pulling away immediately, as if the warm, humid sea breeze couldn’t blow them apart.

At some point,

Guan Xiaoyu’s hands, which had been clenched into fists of stone, relaxed.

With nowhere else to rest, her hands hesitated—extending, retracting, and extending again—before finally reaching for Li Fangge’s lower back.

The slightly warm, humid touch penetrated the thin fabric. Li Fangge flinched as if she had been burned, her entire body trembling slightly.

The instant she trembled, a sharp, distinct pain shot through her lips.

Guan Xiaoyu pulled back at that moment.

She smiled like a little girl who had successfully claimed a prize, beaming like a flower.

Li Fangge instinctively touched the painful spot on her lip. Meeting Guan Xiaoyu’s eyes, which were sparkling with mischievous laughter, she asked with gritted teeth, “Why did you bite me?!”

Guan Xiaoyu’s bite wasn’t gentle; the pain made Li Fangge’s expression look a bit distorted.

Even so, Guan Xiaoyu still thought Li Fangge was the most beautiful person in the world.

Although she clearly heard the question, she didn’t answer immediately—
