My Clingy Fiancée Is Forcing Me to Marry Her Again - Chapter 6
Having all of Scumbag A’s memories made things much easier.
Debt wasn’t enough to destroy Scumbag A, and differentiating into a low-grade Alpha wouldn’t make life impossible.
Li Fangge stared at the message sent by Guan Xiaoyu, showing a weak smile. It was the unequal love that would destroy her.
She had planned to take a break from the music scene to have a relationship, but now it seemed that love was still a luxury for her.
Scumbag A hadn’t forgotten the promise Guan Xiaoyu mentioned.
However, after differentiating into a low-grade Alpha, the arrogant Scumbag A regarded Guan Xiaoyu as one of her biggest burdens.
“When I become a world-renowned pianist, I will come for you on a multi-colored cloud.”
Scumbag A was actually a very reserved person.
Even though they were engaged and Guan Xiaoyu had pursued her for over a year, they had never had any formal dates or made any grand vows.
Seeing the other’s deep devotion and persistent trailing, that was the only outwardly emotional, half-joking, half-serious thing she had said to Guan Xiaoyu before graduating from high school.
Scumbag A had an undeniable talent for the piano; musical composition had always come easily to her.
Even if she didn’t differentiate into an S Alpha, and didn’t even have to try too hard, as long as she followed her planned path, becoming a world-renowned pianist was only a matter of time.
The regret lay in the fact that her parents’, and her own, pathological obsession with genetic rank crushed her.
Although it was said that high-grade genes had an absolute pheromonal suppression over low-grade genes,
since the Pheromone Health Act was enacted, pheromone bullying had virtually disappeared.
Moreover, pheromone inhibitors were becoming increasingly safe and harmless. Civilized citizens would consciously choose appropriate inhibitors during special periods to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to others with their pheromones.
Aside from the fact that the vast genetic difference between Alpha and Omega made marking impossible to solve medically, people were less and less troubled by genes in their daily lives. Alphas and Omegas, regardless of their differentiation grade, could choose a suitable lifestyle.
And Betas, who made up the majority of the population, were even more so: they were only classified by sex, had no genetic grading, and were hardly bothered by pheromones.
Despite this, a small number of people still highly valued family genes. The pursuit of genetic rank seemed imprinted in their blood. These people, still old-fashioned, were very keen on choosing high-grade genetic partners to ensure that the next generation of Alphas and Omegas had absolutely superior genes High-grade Alphas had absolute advantages in overall ability: intelligence, physical strength, leadership, and pheromone suppression; High-grade Omegas had absolute advantages in breeding high-grade A or O offspring and pheromone charm.
Scumbag A and her parents were like this, and Guan Xiaoyu’s parents were even more so.
The general public largely stopped at curiosity and discussion regarding genetic rank, but the privileged and wealthy, disregarding the law, still pursued these things in private through practical actions, using them as chips for social status.
Scumbag A’s collapse after differentiating stemmed mostly from her own and her parents’ pressure.
Li Fangge was unsure,
was Guan Xiaoyu’s repeated mention of Scumbag A’s promise purely out of love?
She couldn’t possibly be ignorant of Scumbag A’s differentiation result, nor could she be ignorant of what insisting on fulfilling the engagement with Scumbag A would mean.
“Yes, it’s time to talk about our engagement.” Li Fangge sent the message calmly.
Ending the engagement now was the best choice for both of them.
Before informing both families, out of respect, she felt it necessary to talk to Guan Xiaoyu first.
Li Fangge could see that Guan Xiaoyu’s love hadn’t diminished because of Scumbag A’s rudeness and coldness.
Meeting this morning, her excited loss of pheromone control and her repeated mention of Scumbag A’s promise—which contained little genuine emotion—were good evidence.
Based on the original novel and the current situation, it was certain that Guan Xiaoyu had no intention of breaking the engagement.
For the sake of both of them, Li Fangge had to, and could only, be the one to propose going their separate ways.
“Sister Li, why do I have a bad feeling?”
Guan Xiaoyu’s message instantly reminded Li Fangge of her teary-eyed appearance when they met this morning.
She hadn’t even said anything yet, but she was sensitive enough to capture the hidden meaning beneath her calm words.
This morning, Guan Xiaoyu’s mouth and eyes had both asked about breaking the engagement.
Unsure of the context then, Li Fangge could only give her the ambiguous answer of “I didn’t say that.”
Now, she had decided how to talk to Guan Xiaoyu.
“On the contrary, it’s a good thing,” Li Fangge comforted her.
This wasn’t exactly a lie. For them, breaking the engagement was a good thing right now.
It could free them both from the constraints of the engagement, allowing them to pursue their own paths.
“Sister Li, are you going to marry me immediately?”
“We’ll talk in detail after we meet.”
“Right now, the only thing I’d call a good thing is Sister Li marrying me immediately.”
What kind of infatuated person was Guan Xiaoyu?
Why did she have to be like this?! Li Fangge’s head started aching again.
“Sister Li, regarding our engagement, only marriage is up for discussion. Anything else is out of the question.”
Looking at this line of text, Li Fangge wondered if Guan Xiaoyu’s eyes were already red.
“You should be able to guess the reason why I haven’t replied to your messages and have avoided seeing you all this time.”
Li Fangge wasn’t sure if reasoning would work at a time like this.
Emotions always try to trample logic.
“Sister Li, don’t say anymore.”
“You weren’t like this this morning.”
“Why did you change your mind so quickly, Sister?!”
Messages came one after another.
The teary-eyed Guan Xiaoyu naturally surfaced in Li Fangge’s mind.
The message had been conveyed. Li Fangge thought Guan Xiaoyu probably wouldn’t come looking for her before she had time to digest the news.
“I thought you felt the same way.”
Choosing to push the other party away, Li Fangge simply turned the tables.
“Sister Li, I hate you!!!!!!!!!”
If Guan Xiaoyu’s “hate” this morning was a flirtatious complaint,
now, her “hate” was genuine anger, intense anger.
Li Fangge was certain that Guan Xiaoyu would still come looking for her.
In her memory, she and Scumbag A hadn’t even held hands yet.
Scumbag A’s feelings for her only reached the level of being touched, and they separated not long after that.
For university, Scumbag A went to the capital, Lujing.
Guan Xiaoyu, however, went to Nan Guo for university.
The two were miles apart, separated by thousands of miles.
Before this morning, they hadn’t seen each other for at least five years.
Their separation was entirely due to Scumbag A. As for why Guan Xiaoyu was so devoted, it was a complete mystery.
If Li Fangge thought if she were still in her previous world and met that fortune teller again, she would be impulsive enough to try to find out more about her.
Although she was certain that this world didn’t have the city of Hong Kong, she still wanted to ask Guan Xiaoyu if they had ever met in Hong Kong.
Her love for Guan Xiaoyu couldn’t be called interfering with someone else’s relationship. Although Li Fangge knew that the person she currently liked was Scumbag A, shifting her affection to herself would be effortless.
Li Fangge had never experienced not being liked by others.
This was probably the common confidence of someone who possessed an attractive and advantageous appearance.
But the reality didn’t allow her to do so.
With the extremely low vitality value presented before her, if they got together, the plot would inevitably unfold according to the original book, and fate would push both of them towards irreparable ruin.
Therefore, Li Fangge could only fantasize about having a relationship with Guan Xiaoyu.
“Everyone must really hate me now.”
She simply spoke the words Guan Xiaoyu least wanted to hear in a self-deprecating manner.
Perhaps only this way would the delicate flower’s sorrow lessen a little.
The phone indeed went silent.
Li Fangge suddenly felt very tired. She put the documents from the bed onto the table and slept again.
