My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 44.2

She saw Chen Qiaoyi’s profile picture and tapped it. Sure enough, there were no message records from tonight—

The distress message she had sent in an emergency was inexplicably erased. Li Fangge was no longer surprised by such things.

She turned off her phone, took another sip of hot tea, and got up, ready to go back to her room.

When she reached the staircase, her phone vibrated twice.

She stopped and lifted her phone to look. It was still a message from Guan Xiaoyu: “Sister Li, haven’t you gotten home yet?”

Although it was text, the voice of her clingy fiancée seemed to be auto-playing in her mind.

The soft, sweet voice carried a hint of “I miss you, Sis,” which gradually relaxed Li Fangge’s strained nerves.

“Just got home.”

She stopped, stared at their chat box, and sent another message. “It’s a good thing you didn’t come to my house tonight.”

“Is that so? Sister Li, was my reason correct?”

Li Fangge had a premonition that Guan Xiaoyu already knew.

Presumably, with Lord Pu’s permission, Chen Qiaoyi often acted independently and had her own ideas in certain matters.

However, this time she wasn’t angry. She genuinely wanted to talk about what had just happened, and Guan Xiaoyu, who was also involved and informed, was the most suitable person to confide in.

“It’s not important anymore. For me, ninety-nine points is better than a hundred points right now.”

Li Fangge felt that her own fear from being startled would quickly fade, but if Guan Xiaoyu had witnessed it, the delicate girl would surely have been traumatized—

“Sister Li, are you okay?”

“Sister Yi told you everything?”

“Yes. Are you okay?”

“I was a little scared.”

“Only a little?”

“Chen Beizhe didn’t seem to have any intention of harming me.”

“Sister Li, you still know too little about the darkness in this world.”

Li Fangge was speechless.

This was originally what Guan Xiaoyu had said to her over the phone before deciding to meet Chen Beizhe for her sake.

Now, the situation was reversed.

Li Fangge was not naive. She knew that Chen Beizhe couldn’t be harmless.

It’s just that she still couldn’t figure out why he ultimately collapsed in exhaustion in front of her.

He absolutely couldn’t have only realized she liked Guan Xiaoyu the moment she said, “My happiness is Guan Xiaoyu!”

Yesterday, in the restaurant, their close and intimate appearance was much more direct than that sentence.

Or was it that, being rejected face-to-face, his fragile heart instantly shattered? Were those sounds of breaking glass actually coming from inside his body?

“Chen Beizhe is a very contradictory person.”

“It’s a good thing he didn’t lay a hand on you, or I would never forgive him!!”

Guan Xiaoyu’s “fierce but cute” voice returned. Li Fangge looked at her message, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

“Chen Beizhe seems to have been defeated by you.”

“Seems? Sister Li, what exactly was the situation like then?”

“He blocked the road on my way home, saying he had something to say to me. After I got out of the car, he said some inexplicable things that made me very angry—Later, he yelled and screamed wildly. I reached out and covered his mouth, and then he shattered like glass.”

“Sister Li, what were the inexplicable things he said?”

“Things like asking me to break off the engagement with you. How could I possibly do that!”

“He’s already told me that. That can’t be considered inexplicable talk.”

Guan Xiaoyu was indeed not that easy to fool.

Li Fangge hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth. “He asked me to marry him.”

Chen Beizhe’s exact words were to marry him (as in, become his wife).

Li Fangge felt disgusted by his exact words.

Even if she didn’t like men, she didn’t hate every single one. It was his twisted confession and terrifying methods that made her intensely repulsed.

How could she tell the delicate flower Guan Xiaoyu the whole truth?!

She would surely find it hard to bear.

“I’m furious!! I want Chen Beizhe to be utterly annihilated!!!”

Even through the screen, Li Fangge could feel Guan Xiaoyu’s anger.

“He’s gone too far. I will definitely not let him off! Sister Li, did he threaten you with the debt? I’ll throw the money at him tomorrow and make him kneel and apologize to you!!”

“No. He didn’t threaten me.”

He had already knelt, though not to apologize.

While feeling disgusted, Li Fangge also felt a little pity for him.

Chen Beizhe must be a total love-struck fool; otherwise, his way of loving wouldn’t be so extreme.

Now, the purpose of his money house constantly lending money to the Scum Alpha was obvious. He wanted to push her step by step into the abyss, making the whole world abandon her.

Then, he would condescendingly reach his hand out to the helpless her in the abyss, making her unable to leave him.

What a yandere, terrifying, and malicious method!

It’s just that man proposes, God disposes—

“Whether you agree or not, I’m going to help you this time. Only then can we draw a clear line with Chen Beizhe.”

“Chen Beizhe probably won’t trouble you again.”

Li Fangge suddenly remembered.

The few times she had heard unexplained glass shattering before, it must have been Chen Beizhe.

And the inexplicable sense of pressure she often felt behind her should also have been Chen Beizhe.

Tonight, he seemed to have completely shattered.

“I don’t want an uncertain ‘probably’; I want a hundred percent ‘certainty’!”

Li Fangge wanted to say something light-hearted. “Guan Xiaoyu, my domineering CEO fiancée.”

“Sister Li, when can we get rid of the word ‘fiancée’?”

Here it comes again, the ever-present, constantly interjecting urge to get married.

The unpleasant events were gradually pushed down into her heart.

Li Fangge felt her neck was a little sore. She looked up at the ceiling, then lowered her head to continue replying. “Didn’t I say you could wait until I’m ready?”

“Too many people covet you, Sister Li.”

“What does that matter? My eyes won’t be looking at any of those people anyway.”

“I love those words, Sister Li.”

“Don’t make me say things like that over and over.”

“No! It’s better if you keep saying things like that, Sister Li.”

“Okay.”

In the end, Li Fangge didn’t return to her room; she turned and went to the music room.

At a time like this, being alone would certainly lead her to overthink, and the terrifying events would surely replay in her mind.

It was still early, so she decided to play the piano for a while.

She sat down on the piano stool, took out a wet wipe, and cleaned her hands several times.

In the past, at times like this, many songs would rush into her mind, as if they were all competing to flow from her voice into the ears of thousands of listeners—

But now, her mind was completely filled with Guan Xiaoyu. A song—no, not even a single note seemed to appear.

Li Fangge knew she wanted to see her—

If she could be sure Chen Beizhe had left, she thought she would invite her over without hesitation, or, like everyone who couldn’t bear the longing, go to see her no matter the cost.

Contrary to what she had said about ninety-nine points being better than a hundred,

in reality, she wanted a perfect hundred points in form. Without Guan Xiaoyu tonight, it clearly wouldn’t be a perfect score.

She looked indifferently at the distinct black and white keys. Several times, she placed her hands on them, but her fingers seemed to be restrained. Her nimble fingers no longer felt under her control, unable to sense any melody or rhythm.

The phone she had placed aside vibrated again.

“Sister Li, I’m coming over to be with you. I don’t want any ‘maybe’s anymore. I only want you, Sister Li.”

“No.”

Contrary to the message she sent, Li Fangge had never yearned to see Guan Xiaoyu as much as she did at this moment. “It’s not safe here.”

“Then I must come to your side even more.”

“Wait a moment. I’ll ask Sister Yi what the situation is like outside.”

“Sister Li, Sister Yi told me twenty minutes ago that I could come over.”

“…….I’ll wait for you.”

For the first time, Li Fangge felt that the rigid Chen Qiaoyi seemed to understand her quite well.

“Sister Li, I’m tired of saying this, but I hope you can tell me things like this in person.”

“Things like what?”

Li Fangge played dumb. She knew what Guan Xiaoyu was referring to.

“Whether it’s good things or bad things, I want you to tell me. When you miss me, you especially have to tell me. Don’t hold back, don’t be shy.”

“Guan Xiaoyu, when have I ever been shy?” Li Fangge tried to save face.

“Sister Li, look behind you.”

Li Fangge subconsciously straightened her back, then suddenly spun around.

She saw Guan Xiaoyu, wearing a pale blue gauze dress, lower her hands which were holding her phone. She blinked her bright, dewy eyes and smiled at Li Fangge—a very soft, very sweet, and very adorable smile.

Li Fangge watched Guan Xiaoyu intently. Seeing her expression of “finally being by your side, finally seeing you again,” she instantly knew which song she had to play.

The melody of As Long As It’s You instantly spread through the room—
