My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 38.1
Leaning forward slightly, the sound of her voice was muffled by her middle and ring fingertips pressing against her lips.
A collective gasp of surprise came from not far away, nearly drowning out her murmured words, “Why did you bite me?”
Guan Xiaoyu’s bright, intelligent eyes blinked. “I’m not convinced!”
Her tone was fierce, almost childishly aggressive, but Li Fangge could hear the seriousness in her voice.
She lowered the hand that had been pressing against her lips. Her tongue gently touched the spot where she had been bitten; the sting was still clear. “Not convinced?”
“Exactly!” Guan Xiaoyu retorted, slightly pouting her small, reddened lips. “Sister Li knows that our bodies are identical, yet just because our pheromones are different—”
“Are you really going to talk about this on the beach?” Li Fangge interrupted her.
She had initially thought Guan Xiaoyu was going to complain about their engagement.
Even without deliberately looking around, her peripheral vision showed that more and more people were stopping to watch.
Li Fangge had too much experience with things that drew attention.
The “Scumbag Alpha” was no different; there was a nearly bankrupt racetrack in Ludu before, but because she frequently patronized it, business unknowingly became extremely popular, resurrecting the track. However, while her appearance brought foot traffic, it brought her no luck; she still lost all her money every time—
When there are a lot of people, unexpected and irritating things tend to happen.
So, at this moment, she really did not want Guan Xiaoyu to bring up their engagement, which would inevitably lead to topics like genetic ranking.
Li Fangge did not want to discuss such sensitive subjects with Guan Xiaoyu in public.
“Sister Li, do you know why I bit you?”
They hadn’t, surprisingly, been thinking about the same thing.
Li Fangge finally realized that what Guan Xiaoyu wanted to talk about was seemingly not their engagement.
“Sister only knows that her mouth hurts right now,” Li Fangge said, unconsciously licking the sore spot again. The color of her tongue was like a flower petal, a captivating red that made hearts race.
“Because it’s unfair!” Guan Xiaoyu declared. “We were born exactly the same, yet because of different pheromones, we are divided into Alpha and Omega. That’s fine, but why can only an Alpha mark an Omega? I’m not convinced! I want to mark Sister Li too.”
Li Fangge couldn’t help but laugh, exasperated. “Is that why you bit me?”
She didn’t believe Guan Xiaoyu was trying to discuss the limitations and differences of human biology.
This delicate flower was merely venting her discontent and anger.
“I’m very angry! I’m angry—” Guan Xiaoyu paused, as if she realized something.
“Sister knows,” Li Fangge said. “Do you want to bite Sister again?”
The surrounding crowd let out a chorus of amazed “Woahs.”
A delicate flower biting a rare beauty—the scene was quite stimulating.
After the gasps, someone excitedly led the cheer, “Bite!” Soon, a unified chant of “Bite!” filled the air.
Li Fangge and Guan Xiaoyu ignored the bystanders. She only said that because—
If Guan Xiaoyu needed to vent her displeasure, she preferred she get it all out at once. Her affection for her was unconcealed, and she didn’t want her to suppress her anger.
“Pfft—” Guan Xiaoyu suddenly laughed. She didn’t know why she had been so impulsive just now, blurting out those inexplicable words. “Sister Li is clearly in pain.”
“If a little pain can make you feel better, it’s fine,” Li Fangge said with a graceful yet gentle air. Her voice always carried a special persuasiveness that made people believe things were exactly as she said.
“I hate how Sister Li is so perfect in every way.”
“Looks, temper, voice, ideas—” Guan Xiaoyu suddenly looked towards the largest group of people. “No matter where you go, you always attract people like this, and that makes me feel very insecure.”
Li Fangge suddenly understood what was wrapped beneath Guan Xiaoyu’s anger. “Little girl, are you even getting jealous of strangers now?”
It was one thing to be jealous of Chen Beizhe, but now she was getting upset about being watched by a group of completely unrelated people. She was going to turn into a pufferfish!
Li Fangge continued, “Wouldn’t that be asking too much of Sister? How about I give you an idiom, and you just follow it?”
“What idiom?”
“Gold house hides sister Jin Wu Cang Jie – referring to keeping a beloved woman hidden and pampered.”
“Sister is so annoying!”
Saying this, Guan Xiaoyu was already smiling. “I do want to, I want to hide Sister where no one can see her, known only to me. That way, nothing that upsets me will happen again. But, I can’t bear to.”
Li Fangge smiled knowingly. “Let’s go, then. Since you don’t want—” She suddenly paused, glancing at the crowd even with her sunglasses on. “—you don’t want everyone to see Sister.”
With that, she took Guan Xiaoyu’s hand and, without waiting for a response, pulled her towards the less crowded area.
“Hey, why aren’t they biting anymore? I wanted to watch.”
“Yeah, the long-legged sister is stunning. I want to bite her too.”
“Dream on! You’ll never get a chance! Didn’t you see the water-red dress girl’s glare? You’ll be shot dead by her eyes before you even get close.”
“Then let me watch them continue to kiss from afar, that’s fine too.”
“Yeah, what a shame they left. Today’s joy is gone.”…
The gossiping voices behind them faded into the distance.
Walking upwind, Guan Xiaoyu’s skirt was blown against Li Fangge’s long legs, and her hair brushed Li Fangge’s arm repeatedly, causing a faint, ticklish sensation even through the clothing.
“I love it when Sister Li holds my hand like this,” Guan Xiaoyu said, her smile bright and her voice sweet and soft. “I dreamed a long time ago that if Sister and I ever went on a date, we would go to the beach.”
“We’d walk in the coconut breeze, step on the sand, watch the blue sky and white clouds, chase the waves, and wait for the sunset. When it got dark, we’d watch the stars and moon together. Today, we almost did it all.”
“You must have forgotten one thing!”
Li Fangge turned her head to look at Guan Xiaoyu. “No, two things.”
“What are they?” Guan Xiaoyu also turned her head to look at Li Fangge.
In a perfectly timed upward and downward gaze, their eyes met. The strands of hair near Guan Xiaoyu’s temples gently fluttered in the wind.
Li Fangge tried to tuck them behind her ear.
Just as her hand reached out, Guan Xiaoyu’s other hand suddenly grabbed it. “Sister Li, don’t worry about my hair at a time like this, hurry and answer my question.”
“Did your dream not include kissing Sister and biting Sister?”
Guan Xiaoyu realized Li Fangge was teasing her about her sudden willful kiss and angry bite just now.
So, she released her hand and unexpectedly reached out, gently pinching her long, narrow waist.
“Ow!” It wasn’t pain, but ticklishness that made Li Fangge cry out. “Did it, or didn’t it? Tell me the truth.” She would never easily pass up a chance to tease Guan Xiaoyu.
“Sister Li, speaking of that,”
Guan Xiaoyu grabbed Li Fangge’s hand and stopped. They stood one in front of the other, hands clasped, their eyes intertwined.
Li Fangge patiently waited for her to continue, completely ignoring her own wildly wind-blown hair.
Guan Xiaoyu said, “What I want is far more than just these things. I want to with Sister Li—”
As if she had touched on a painful point, she suddenly stopped.
“Tell me. If Sister has it, I will give it all to you.”
Guan Xiaoyu shook her head and forced a stiff smile. “Sister’s eyes are only on me, and I already feel like—”
She seemed a little embarrassed, but this time, she didn’t hold back the words she wanted to say. “—it is a blessing beyond measure. I must have done something good to have this engagement with Sister.”
Li Fangge looked steadily at Guan Xiaoyu and suddenly remembered what she had wanted to do the day she returned from Lujing but ultimately didn’t.
With a slight pull of her arm, she easily drew Guan Xiaoyu into her embrace.
Before Guan Xiaoyu could react, she was fiercely held in Li Fangge’s tight hug.
“I’m luckier than you,” she whispered in her ear.
“Sister, Li—”
Guan Xiaoyu struggled in her arms like a small fish. “Cough, cough, cough, I can’t, can’t, breathe.”
“Don’t talk.” Li Fangge rested her chin on Guan Xiaoyu’s shoulder, her right cheek lightly rubbing against her ear.
“Sister Li, I love it when you hold me so tightly. You can hold me even tighter; even if I suffocate, I won’t blame you.”
“Hahaha…” Li Fangge’s funny bone was inexplicably tickled, and she loosened her arms a bit. “How could Sister possibly let you suffocate, silly girl.”
“I want Sister Li to hold me tighter.”
Saying this, Guan Xiaoyu buried her face in Li Fangge’s chest and wrapped her arms around her waist.
Only by hugging tighter would her pounding, rapid heartbeat not be revealed, and her deep-seated worries and fears be completely suppressed.
“Mmm.” Li Fangge pulled her closer to her chest.
She asked softly in Guan Xiaoyu’s ear, “You just said you wanted far more than those things. Tell me, what else do you want? Sister will do her best.”
“Just this, hugging tightly like this.”
“Is that so?” Li Fangge could sense it.
Guan Xiaoyu hadn’t said what she truly wanted, but Li Fangge didn’t want to press her anymore.
They would stop here for today; this close embrace was enough to dispel the unhappiness in her heart.
The two seemed even more inseparable, not even the sea breeze or the midday heat could separate them…
