My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 50.2
“That’s why I gave up. To clear myself out and prepare to welcome the next one. Out with the old, in with the new. The next one will be better behaved.”
Bai Shao pretended to be lighthearted, but her words were as fake as a plastic flower.
“Let’s talk about something happy.”
“I don’t have anything. Talk about you and Guan Xiaoyu—”
“Sis, if Guan Xiaoyu and I get married, you’ll be my maid of honor.”
Saying this, Li Fangge still felt a sense of surrealness and surprise.
She had only been in this world for half a month, yet, at some point, the thought of marrying Guan Xiaoyu had taken hold. This idea wasn’t just because her fiancée was clingy, nor was it solely due to the unavoidable mechanism of the transmigration system.
Instead, she had already fallen into Guan Xiaoyu’s cuteness and warmth.
“No thanks. I don’t want to see Guan Xiaoyan again!” Bai Shao’s tone was shaky.
“You can’t go three sentences without mentioning Guan Xiaoyan. You clearly want to see her.”
“I don’t!”
“Sis, how about being a little honest? Being honest might just make it happen.”
“Go to hell!”
“Say it out loud to me: you want to see Guan Xiaoyan, and you can’t live without her.”
Bai Shao fell silent.
She truly wanted to see, desperately wanted to see Guan Xiaoyan…
In the evening, Li Fangge and Bai Shao stood on the steps in front of the door, watching the two cars drive into the courtyard from afar.
“Guan Xiaoyu is so proactive! You don’t even have to go pick her up!”
Li Fangge didn’t mind her cousin’s sarcastic remark at all. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the car driving in front; she knew it was Guan Xiaoyu’s car.
“I came here wanting a change of pace, but now I’m starting to doubt if I can stomach your PDA—”
Li Fangge lightly tossed back a reply, “You’ll get used to it.” She was completely oblivious to her cousin’s body suddenly stiffening and her eyes widening.
Now, she just wanted to see Guan Xiaoyu quickly. They had only been apart for a few hours, but it felt like a long time.
This urgent feeling made Li Fangge feel the reality of being in love growing heavier and the illusion of transmigrating into a book growing lighter. She no longer felt, as she did at first, that this was a dream.
Earlier, Li Fangge had prepared to pick up Guan Xiaoyu. When she called, the voice on the other end said:
“It’s all packed up! Already done! Sister Li, wait for me at home. I’m about to leave. I’ll be there soon—”
Li Fangge was speechless. Before they parted, Guan Xiaoyu had clearly said she had a lot of luggage and that even moving quickly, she wouldn’t be able to leave until the evening.
She had wanted to have dinner together, and upon hearing she would only arrive in the evening, she had felt a sense of wistful disappointment for a while.
But now, the sun hadn’t even set. As expected of Guan Xiaoyu, she was already here; she truly rushed over.
Such fervent love can always maximize a person’s good mood.
Soon, her car drove under the portico. Before the car had fully stopped, Li Fangge walked down the steps.
Behind her, Bai Shao’s gaze was as if glued to the white car behind the first one; her whole body had completely turned to stone.
Hong Tao got out of the car. She swiftly walked around to Li Fangge’s side and opened the car door for Guan Xiaoyu.
“Sister Li!” A sweet, joyful cry came from inside the car, followed by a pair of arms, as white as hibiscus petals, reaching out.
Li Fangge bent down, and her neck was immediately hooked by soft hands, pulling her into the car compartment in an instant.
Bai Shao on the steps was still stiffly staring at the white car.
Li Fangge was somewhat considerate of her cousin’s feelings. After a quick embrace with Guan Xiaoyu, she exited the car compartment, and as she helped her out, she teased, “Do you mind having one more woman by my side?”
“Sister Li, where is this ‘one more woman’ from?!”
Guan Xiaoyu pretended to be angry. Even though she knew this woman was not that woman, and even though she knew Li Fangge was teasing her, she still didn’t like the joke.
Li Fangge didn’t answer. She stood up straight and glanced behind her. As she did, Guan Xiaoyu, holding onto her hand, got out of the car.
Ah, so it was the beautiful model sister!
Guan Xiaoyu immediately felt things were bad. Seeing Bai Shao’s rigid gaze, which was just like that night at Fu sheng Ruo meng, she must have known whose car was the one behind them.
It hadn’t been long since they last met, yet she had lost so much weight—
Seeing her cousin fixedly staring at the white car, Li Fangge also sensed something. She retracted her gaze and looked at Guan Xiaoyu.
Guan Xiaoyu understood instantly and nodded, confirming Li Fangge’s guess.
Upon learning that Guan Xiaoyu was moving in, Chen Qiaoyi had decorated the house and simultaneously arranged for people to move the luggage.
At this moment, there were seven or eight people under the portico.
Hong Tao was taking Guan Xiaoyu’s luggage out of the trunk one piece at a time.
Chen Qiaoyi was methodically directing the hired helpers to take the luggage into the house.
The scene was remarkably quiet. Then, after a click, the white car door was immediately pushed open, and a figure in white appeared before everyone.
Li Fangge saw that her cousin, who was motionless on the steps, had her hands clenched into fists. Her cheeks were slightly puffed out, indicating that she was biting her teeth and enduring the urge not to rush towards the woman in white stepping out of the white car—
It was Guan Xiaoyan.
A moment ago, Li Fangge had already confirmed this from Guan Xiaoyu’s affirmative look.
Contrary to the person on the steps who was desperately restraining her emotions, Guan Xiaoyan’s face was unruffled. It couldn’t be said that she hadn’t seen Bai Shao; on the contrary, like Bai Shao, she was practically staring at the other, only her eyes were completely calm, and there were no small gestures from her body that betrayed any emotion—
“Sister Li, does this scene look familiar?” Guan Xiaoyu broke the silence.
Li Fangge of course knew what she was referring to, and presumably, the two women who were intently staring at each other also knew what Guan Xiaoyu was talking about.
However, they remained unmoved, as if they were checking how much of the other had been diminished during their time apart.
“Sis, it’s time for a decision!”
Guan Xiaoyu said this to Guan Xiaoyan.
The slightly warm evening breeze blew open the long hair on Guan Xiaoyan’s left shoulder. She didn’t move, letting her hair be scattered by the wind, as if she hadn’t heard her sister at all.
Li Fangge shifted her gaze to her cousin. She saw that Bai Shao’s shoulders had drooped. After an almost imperceptible long exhale, Bai Shao, who seemed to have something to say, finally turned around silently and walked toward the house.
Chasing after her was clearly not Guan Xiaoyan’s style.
Only after Bai Shao’s figure disappeared did she turn sideways and nod slightly toward Li Fangge and her sister.
She maintained a cold expression throughout, said nothing, and her face didn’t suggest she had anything she wanted to say.
She just pressed her car key, and the trunk of her car opened as well.
Guan Xiaoyu’s luggage was much less than Li Fangge had expected: just two large white suitcases, three medium-sized geometric pattern handbags, and a few translucent storage boxes.
Guan Xiaoyan didn’t reply, so Guan Xiaoyu spoke again, “Sis, you’re going straight back, right?”
Unexpectedly, the person asked coldly looked at Li Fangge instead.
It was then that she realized Guan Xiaoyu was using reverse psychology on her sister.
So she chimed in, “Xiao You prepared dinner. Since you’ve made the trip, Sis, why not come in and sit for a bit?”
Guan Xiaoyan neither confirmed nor denied.
The luggage was quickly all moved inside.
Li Fangge made a gesture for them to enter and led the way up the steps.
She was holding Guan Xiaoyu’s hand. When the two of them reached the top of the steps, they turned around simultaneously to see Guan Xiaoyan, also dressed in white, stepping onto the steps.
As expected, dinner was remarkably dull.
Although Guan Xiaoyu continually tried to liven the atmosphere, her and Li Fangge’s interactions could not overcome the low pressure intentionally created by Bai Shao and Guan Xiaoyan. Several topics she tried to start quickly died out.
Clearly, Bai Shao had resolved that unless Guan Xiaoyan made the first move, she would absolutely not speak to her.
As for Guan Xiaoyan, no one knew what she was thinking. She would look at Bai Shao from time to time, then silently resume eating.
Guan Xiaoyu still didn’t give up. “Big Sister, what’s your star sign?”
Bai Shao replied absentmindedly, “Cancer.”
“Astrology books say Cancer and Scorpio are a great match! But there’s one thing: it seems water signs love to overcomplicate things. So, when there’s a conflict, it’s easily magnified,”
It was self-evident who at the table was a Scorpio. Guan Xiaoyu continued, “But the gentle Cancer will ultimately forgive the Scorpio’s nitpicking—”
“I’m full.” Guan Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks.
Guan Xiaoyu knew her sister was deliberately interrupting her. Seeing that Bai Shao also had no intention of being accommodating or yielding,
she had been trying hard to maintain the cheer in the dining room, but this was the extent of it.
After Guan Xiaoyan put down her chopsticks, everyone else quickly stopped as well.
The dull dinner was finally over.
Li Fangge, as the host, had also made efforts. Unlike Guan Xiaoyu, realizing the atmosphere couldn’t be saved, she had long since given up trying to fix it. As long as she glanced at Guan Xiaoyu on her left, the dull atmosphere was no big deal to her.
Suddenly, Guan Xiaoyan stood up. She paused for a moment, looking down at Bai Shao.
Bai Shao was not unaware that the other person was looking at her, but she didn’t meet her gaze, pretending to look at her empty plate.
Guan Xiaoyu didn’t want the whole evening’s effort to be wasted.
Furthermore, if they missed tonight, knowing her sister, she would certainly not take the initiative to seek out the beautiful model sister. So, she started a new round of goading. “Sis, didn’t you have something to say to Big Sister? If you don’t take this chance to say it yourself, I won’t help you ask next time, okay?”
Since things had come to this, she couldn’t be bothered with whether her sister saved face or not.
Besides, if she didn’t give these two a push, who knew how long their cold war would last?
In her opinion, a breakup shouldn’t happen like this.
She also didn’t want to be caught with Li Fangge in the middle of their awkwardness later on.
Everyone thought Guan Xiaoyu would be ignored as a matter of course. Instead, the moment Bai Shao couldn’t help but look up at Guan Xiaoyan, Guan Xiaoyan said coolly, “Come with me.”
Li Fangge sucked in a breath, thinking her cousin would immediately fly into a rage.
However, Bai Shao said nothing. She fixed her gaze on Guan Xiaoyan, who was walking out of the dining room, as if she wanted to drill a hole in her back.
To Li Fangge’s astonishment, the very instant Guan Xiaoyan stepped out of the dining room door, Bai Shao got up and chased after her.
Because she was in such a hurry, the friction between her chair legs and the floor let out a grating, drawn-out screech.
Was it just because Guan Xiaoyan had deliberately slowed her pace when leaving?
Only after both figures disappeared did Li Fangge and Guan Xiaoyu look away.
Contrary to Li Fangge’s worry, Guan Xiaoyu looked entirely pleased with the outcome.
“Sister Li, do you think they’ll make up?”
“I think my cousin is going to beat your sister up.”
Li Fangge said this with a laugh, but secretly thought they would sleep together and then make up.
Love is an inherently irrational domain, and she couldn’t say her cousin was weak-willed for acting this way. She just didn’t understand: if they knew they couldn’t let go, why the repeated turmoil?
“Sister Li, never mind them. Let’s talk about my bold plan for tonight.”
I’m done being busy, so I’ll be updating daily now.
