My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 39.1
When an Alpha and Omega are affected by each other’s pheromones, the Alpha’s most direct manifestation is the urge to mark, while the Omega will experience a heat reaction. The commonality between the two is that their glands become vibrant, leading to pheromone overflow, and ultimately a natural urge for bonding heat.
Guan Xiaoyu did not exhibit these symptoms. Li Fangge was certain that the stimulation she received was more psychological than physiological. Medical studies also indicate that when people are affected by pheromones, depending on the individual, some may show no physical differences but often experience emotional fluctuations of varying degrees.
“I wasn’t affected by his pheromones; I just didn’t want him to like Sister Li!”
Reason told Guan Xiaoyu that everyone loves beauty, but emotionally, she just couldn’t accept this fact. Regardless of whether Chen Beizhe posed a threat to her, the mere thought of it was like a thorn in her side, making her unhappy.
“This matter… is bizarre.” Li Fangge also looked at the beautiful school of fish.
The light halo of the pale blue seawater shone on their young and beautiful faces.
At this moment, the dishes were served one after another, but both of them had completely lost their appetite…
Guan Xiaoyu returned home in the afternoon.
She couldn’t wait to see her father. The thought of making him unhappy suddenly brought her great satisfaction.
Entering the study and seeing her father’s face as black as a skillet, Guan Xiaoyu instantly understood. She walked up to his desk, and the father and daughter glared at each other.
Finally, looking at Guan Zhao’s ridiculous expression, Guan Xiaoyu couldn’t hold back her laugh. “Dad knows everything now, right? If so, I don’t need to waste any more words.”
“Nonsense!” Guan Zhao suddenly slapped the desk without warning, causing the black fountain pen on the brown paper file bag to roll off and fall with a thud onto the spotless wooden floor.
“Yes, it’s utter nonsense. But why did things turn out this way?! If Dad continues to like doing these boring things in the future, I suggest you at least check beforehand—”
“I’m talking about you!” Guan Zhao’s headache flared up again, and he pressed his temples. “Did I tell you to take Li Fangge there?!”
“No, Dad didn’t, but I wanted to.” Guan Xiaoyu shamelessly made a face at him.
“Get out. I don’t want to deal with you anymore.”
“Thank you, Dad.”
This was exactly the result Guan Xiaoyu wanted. She triumphantly left the study.
As she pulled open the door, Guan Xiaoyu saw her sister standing silently outside, holding a document in her right hand. She was probably there to ask her father to approve an important file.
“Sister.” Guan Xiaoyu’s hand was still on the doorknob, and she called out softly.
Her sister had been severely criticized by their father last night because of Zheng Lier. From her cold expression, Guan Xiaoyu couldn’t discern her mood.
Guan Xiaoyu couldn’t remember the last time she had seen her sister express joy or sorrow, not even on the night she took her to Floating Life Like a Dream; no emotion-revealing expression had appeared on her face.
Most of the time, Guan Xiaoyu could only judge her sister’s mood through her actions and words.
Just like now, the sisters faced each other in silence. Her sister didn’t respond, and Guan Xiaoyu knew she was still feeling low.
“Are you free?” Guan Xiaoyan’s voice was icy cold.
“No.”
Guan Xiaoyu walked out, expecting her sister to say something else, but only saw her brush past and enter the study.
Regarding Zheng Lier’s gaze last night, Guan Xiaoyu had sent a message before going to sleep. Predictably, Guan Xiaoyan had not responded with a single word.
Now, she also had no mood to care about her sister’s affairs.
Although it was almost certain that the issues with Zheng Lier and Chen Beizhe were in the past, she was still unsure what action Chen Beizhe might take toward Li Fangge. She needed to immediately confirm some important matters.
Hurrying back to her room, closing the door, Guan Xiaoyu dialed Tang Qiwu’s number.
“Grandma, Sister Li and I kissed. Yesterday, and today too. But why—” She was extremely puzzled. “Why didn’t Sister Li have any obvious reaction? It feels different from what Grandma told me. Didn’t you say Grandpa—”
“How did you kiss?” Tang Qiwu immediately interrupted her rambling granddaughter.
“With our mouths, of course.”
The headache was back. Tang Qiwu quickly said, “A peck, a deep kiss, a dry kiss, a wet kiss, an intimate kiss, a French kiss, a biting kiss, a sucking kiss… which kind?”
“Grandma, what kind is it when our mouths are just pressed together?”
“It doesn’t count as anything. Now you know why your Sister Li had no reaction, right?”
“Today I bit her lip.”
“And the result?”
“Sister Li’s lip swelled up.”
“Hiss—” Tang Qiwu was at a loss as to how to teach her precious granddaughter. “Neither of you can get it right.”
“What do you mean?”
“Did you and your sister have no other urges?”
“Sister Li didn’t, but I did.”
“Tsk! One is useless, the other is overexcited. A Grade S Omega being unable to arouse a Grade C Alpha… this really touches my blind spot of knowledge! Even if you didn’t love each other, it would be impossible not to have an urge. Guan Xiaoyu, be honest, does your sister truly like you even a little? Otherwise, it’s impossible for her to have no urges toward you!”
Before today, Guan Xiaoyu wasn’t entirely sure. But after the words Li Fangge said to her at the seaside, she was now completely certain. “Sister Li likes me, that much is certain. As for why she has no urges toward me, I also find it very strange. Grandma, does ‘useless’ mean ‘sexually impotent’ here?”
“……… What do you think?”
“No way. Please don’t say that. Waaah—”
“No crying allowed!”
“Oh, right, Grandma, something strange happened today—”
“When will you get rid of the habit of putting irrelevant things first?”
“Today, Sister Li smelled Chen Beizhe’s pheromones and also had no reaction, even though she took a strong inhibitor. But I also took one, so why was I the only one—”
“You’re just the one who gets overexcited!”
“It seems like that’s true.”
Remembering her emotional loss of control and reckless jealousy at noon, Guan Xiaoyu still felt embarrassed. When she parted with Li Fangge, her emotions had obviously stabilized a lot, and when she thought back to Chen Beizhe’s words and actions, her psychological fluctuations were not as intense.
The only explanation was that Chen Beizhe’s pheromones’ interference had dissipated by then.
But Guan Xiaoyu was too embarrassed to admit that her random jealousy, temper tantrum, and nonsensical talk at the seaside were likely because she was genuinely affected by Chen Beizhe’s pheromones.
Li Fangge also hadn’t brought it up again. The two had agreed to go swimming together tomorrow afternoon.
“I have nothing more to say to you.”
“Grandma, don’t be like that. Chen Beizhe is a Grade S Alpha. When his pheromones overflowed, Sister Li should have felt a sense of oppression to some extent, but she looked completely relaxed the entire time.”
“As you thought, we can’t rule out the possibility that Li Fangge’s genes are simply more powerful.”
Tang Qiwu finally understood the true intention behind her granddaughter’s call. Although she repeatedly claimed not to care about Li Fangge’s genetic grade, who wouldn’t wish for themselves and the person they loved to be outstanding and strong?
“So—”
“If you can’t push that girl down before the end of August—”
“Grandma, where is the Omega who actively pushes down an Alpha?”
“Me.”
“Ah—that’s right! Grandma, you’re amazing!”
“Don’t call me again until you push your sister down.”
“Grandma, you, my—”
The sound of the call being cut off came through.
Guan Xiaoyu dialed again, and the message “The user you have dialed is currently on another call” came through. She was so angry that she kicked her chair crooked, then dialed again, but the phone was already switched off.
How to push her down? Guan Xiaoyu’s face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd. Of course, she hadn’t forgotten what her grandmother told her about using her hands and a sexy brain.
Perhaps her brain wasn’t sexy enough, otherwise, why was Sister Li always lacking an urge?
Alas, if she also had a face like Sister Li’s that could charm all beings without even speaking—no, as long as it could charm Sister Li—things would be much simpler.
Guan Xiaoyu felt she was already very proactive. If she was more proactive, would it be counterproductive?
Oh my god, what if Sister Li undergoes a secondary differentiation into a Beta?!
No, no, no. Common sense in her mind told Guan Xiaoyu that a person who has differentiated into an Alpha or Omega could not revert to a non-differentiated Beta—
A cold knock on the door suddenly interrupted her chaotic thoughts.
“Seriously—” I said I didn’t have time, why are you still coming! Guan Xiaoyu felt like swearing.
Why stay silent when asked, and now suddenly have something to say?
She felt her sister was just inexplicably annoying. She shouted toward the door, “I’m resting!”
The doorknob twisted but didn’t open. The cold knock sounded again.
Guan Xiaoyu was truly frustrated with her sister. Finally, she angrily opened the door for her, but gave her a cold shoulder. Occasionally, Guan Xiaoyu would also give her sister the cold shoulder; after all, she had ignored her attempt at concern last night!
Guan Xiaoyan closed the door behind her sister and followed her to her bed.
Guan Xiaoyu deeply disliked her sister’s solitary face, which, despite saying nothing, always made her feel compelled to say something to her. Even though she never wore that miserable, comfort-seeking expression, she could always easily evoke feelings of pity and tenderness in her.
Yes, only Guan Xiaoyu knew that the future owner of the Baolu Group, Guan Xiaoyan, rumored by outsiders to be cold, rational, and decisive, was merely deliberately hiding her joys and sorrows and intentionally setting up a distance between herself and others to make herself seem inviolable and unapproachable—
Guan Xiaoyu had told her many times that excessive rigidity breaks easily.
But Guan Xiaoyan turned a deaf ear, as if the person her sister was talking about wasn’t her.
“Sister, you can’t be like this. Only coming to me when you need me. I don’t want to be treated like a tool.”
“I didn’t.”
Guan Xiaoyu knew her sister didn’t mean it, but she couldn’t stand her excessive self-isolation.
“Alright, what is it? Say it quickly.” She knew her sister wouldn’t come to her for no reason.
“Does Chen Beizhe like Li Fangge?”
The mention of Chen Beizhe made Guan Xiaoyu’s inner fire surge up again. Despite the anger, she could now calmly discuss the matter. “He asked me when Sister Li and I would call off the engagement. What do you think?”
“He can only have a chance if you call off the engagement.”
“Yes, that’s indeed the case. If we call off the engagement, he’ll have a chance with Sister Li.”
“Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
“Sister, are you concerned about me now?”
Guan Xiaoyan was noncommittal. After a moment of silence, she said, “What is wrong with everyone?”
