A Heartthrob Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha's Ex-Wife - Chapter 10
“Are you unable to perform?”
The moment the livestream began, before the audience even saw anyone, the first thing they heard was Gu Qiyou’s slightly teasing, yet seemingly somewhat serious, question. The woman’s long arm trapped Mu Yu in the corner, while Mu Yu’s face was flushed red.
“Whether I can or not, why don’t you try it yourself?”
The audience sucked in a breath.
Weren’t they supposed to be close to divorce? Why was it so exciting right from the start?
When everyone saw the blush on Mu Yu’s cheeks, their instinctive reaction was to think she was angry. After all, being told she “couldn’t perform” was an enormous humiliation for a strong and healthy Alpha—especially when it came from her own wife.
Even the weakest Alpha would want to show off their Alpha pride at a moment like this. With Mu Yu blushing like that, she would definitely try every possible way to prove herself!
Everyone stared expectantly at the screen, afraid that if their eyes left for even a second, Mu Yu would turn around in the next moment, push Gu Qiyou down onto the bed, and prove her power to her.
Mu Yu’s slender fingers had already hooked Gu Qiyou’s collar. In truth, she was blocking the softness that had inadvertently brushed across her chest as Gu Qiyou drew closer.
This woman had inexplicably gone crazy and asked her such a question. If Mu Yu really were an Alpha, after being provoked like this, she would definitely have released pheromones and crushed her directly. In other words, if Gu Qiyou were an Omega, Mu Yu would not be afraid either. But the key was that Gu Qiyou was a Beta who could not smell pheromones. How was she, an Omega, supposed to battle a Beta?
Just then, the director’s voice announcing the gathering rang out like heavenly music, perfectly rescuing Mu Yu, who had no idea where to put her hands or feet. It gave her a bit of courage back.
Her slender fingers quickly scraped across Gu Qiyou’s soft chin. Mu Yu gently pushed away the woman who was almost pressed entirely against her.
“I’ll deal with you next time I get the chance.”
Bullet comments: ???
Is Mu Yu really unable to perform?
**
Gu Qiyou and Mu Yu were not top-tier celebrities in the industry, but their popularity was still quite good. In addition, both of their faces had unique and beautiful temperaments. One was praised as “an Alpha as beautiful as an Omega,” while the other was called “the Beta most like an Alpha.” The “Yu-You CP” had once been so popular that any time they appeared in the same frame, it was treated as candy; even a single glance at each other could send them climbing up the hot search rankings.
Many people shipped the pair just for their looks. Some were even more concerned than Old Master Mu about when the two of them would have a child. At first, their public business-couple persona had been flawless outside. So when rumors rose louder and louder during this period, the CP fans were extremely furious.
As everyone knew, once a rumor started, even if the slandered celebrity fought back reasonably and sued the other party, some passersby would still classify them as “capitalists.” If they clarified, it was “capital forcing people”; if they did not clarify, they could only lie flat and be mocked.
Since the rumors started, Mu Yu had not given any response. The earlier moment in the livestream did not satisfy people. Instead, many felt that Gu Qiyou had been forced to answer.
[Surely no one can still ship Yu-You, right? Gu Qiyou saying Mu Yu can’t perform counts as candy to you people? Maybe she performs very well outside with her ex-girlfriend.]
[The Mu family is behind Mu Yu. Since Gu Qiyou debuted, who has ever heard of anyone supporting her from behind? Maybe she’s just the Mu family’s tool. If they want her round, she has to be round; if they want her square, she has to be square.]
[To be fair, the atmosphere between the two of them was clearly good just now, right? Why are people so desperate for them to BE? If they were going to break up, would they still come on this variety show as CP guests? Mu Yu already said she had an ex. It’s normal for an ex to have those kinds of photos, right? When you date someone, do you not talk to them? Besides, there’s not only no evidence of Mu Yu cheating, there isn’t even an intimate photo.]
A group of people were arguing fiercely in the bullet comments. Meanwhile, the director was enthusiastically organizing the various guests to get acquainted.
Mu Yu, Gu Qiyou, and Zou Lili were all old acquaintances. Their private relationship was the type where they were too lazy to even greet each other when they met. Being able to exchange simple pleasantries already counted as decent. There was also Duan Qingyi, who had just graduated from a performance department. She was also a petite and beautiful young Omega actress.
This time, All In had more female guests than male guests. The remaining two were Beta male guests. The handsome one with a small braid was a singer named Cheng Yue. The other, who had an outstanding height, was a foreign male photographer whose real name was Jake.
After everyone briefly got to know each other, the director began announcing the rules for this episode.
Although All In was a lifestyle variety show, in such a fast was a lifestyle variety show-paced era, most slow-paced variety shows would be eliminated completely, and their audience reach was not very wide. So the director had tried every way possible to add a little “fun” into “ordinary” life.
For example, in the previous episode, everyone had been scattered across a foreign country. That country was small, and even English was only half-understood there. The guests, unable to communicate through language, could only borrow money through wild gestures and performances. After much struggle, they finally managed to gather together.
This episode was set within the country, but each person’s living fund for three days was only thirty yuan—ten yuan per day. If they wanted to eat, they would have to rely on noodles and steamed buns for every meal. Adding an egg would already make the budget tight. And most outrageous of all, there were not even daily necessities like toothpaste and toothbrushes!
When they heard the director announce the rules with a mischievous smile, every guest was: ???
“Of course, the program team has placed some daily necessities here, such as toothpaste, facial cleanser, fruit, flour, and so on.”
If gazes could kill, the director estimated that he would have already been sliced to death by the guests’ stares. He hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.
“You can first do a thorough search. Anyway, as long as you work hard, we can absolutely guarantee you won’t starve to death.”
The male photographer Jake said faintly in imperfect Mandarin, “I didn’t expect that joining a lifestyle variety show would come with the risk of starving to death. Perhaps the appearance fee can be used to buy a coffin and collect the body.”
Complaints were complaints, but everyone also knew that audiences loved watching exciting challenges like this the most. After grumbling a few words, they all got up from the sofa and began searching. No one wanted to leave the audience with the impression that they were lazy.
After being reminded by the director team that there was also a pitch-black basement here, the seemingly delicate Omega Duan Qingyi said she was willing to go down and look, but needed someone to accompany her.
She turned her gaze toward Mu Yu, the only person who had spoken to her. But before she could invite her, Gu Qiyou, who had originally been moving around near the kitchen, immediately came over.
Her gaze swept once between Mu Yu and the slightly nervous Duan Qingyi. Her expression revealed neither joy nor anger.
“It’s too dark down there. It’ll probably be hard to walk. There are enough people upstairs too. I’ll go with you.”
