A Heartthrob Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha's Ex-Wife - Chapter 11

Detected: the heroine and the official wife have met. Please do your utmost to bring the two together and let sparks of love fly in the dark basement!

The moment Gu Qiyou walked over, the system’s reminder suddenly rang out in Mu Yu’s mind. The crackling static startled her.

Back in the game world she had once lived in, Mu Yu had read many novels in order to properly do her job as an NPC. For broken-mirror-never-reunites novels like this, the most classic trope was the comparison between the scumbag original spouse and the new lover.

During this period, the original owner was supposed to gradually lose interest in the heroine and begin treating her coldly, finding fault with everything she did. By contrast, Duan Qingyi was gentle and considerate. Later, the heroine would encounter a sudden accident, and at that time, Duan Qingyi would comfort her properly, using her gentleness to accompany the heroine and help her through the difficult period.

Mu Yu did not know exactly what Gu Qiyou would encounter later. Although the system gave spoilers, it would not spoil that much all at once.

But the later parts did not have much to do with her. Mu Yu’s biggest task now was to be a proper tool person as the comparison group. So when Gu Qiyou suggested that the three of them go down together, she replied, “Okay.” Duan Qingyi had no objection either. Only when they fumbled their way to the basement entrance did she ask in a sweet voice,

“Um, can we hold hands and go down together…”

She seemed a little embarrassed.

“I’m pretty scared.”

Duan Qingyi had a soft and delicate face. She was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, and her voice was sweet. She was a complete soft girl, naturally cute in a way that made it hard for others to refuse her.

But Mu Yu still refused without the slightest tenderness or pity. Sure enough, Duan Qingyi helplessly turned her gaze toward Gu Qiyou.

The basement lights were dim. It was unclear whether the production team had set the bulbs up this way on purpose, but they kept flickering, as if they might go out at any moment. Gu Qiyou’s cold, elegant face was occasionally covered in shadow, making her seem even more unapproachable. Her straight nose bridge and slightly pressed thin lips formed an indifferent curve.

She seemed to be carefully observing the darker environment inside and did not notice Duan Qingyi’s pleading gaze. A moment later, she said,

“There’s water on the floor.”

Gu Qiyou had said this while turning back to Mu Yu, but then she saw Duan Qingyi standing between them. The girl’s small and delicate appearance made her look like an adorable doll, forming a sharp contrast with Mu Yu, who was tall, slender, and lazily leaning against the doorway.

Only after Mu Yu kindly repeated Duan Qingyi’s request did Gu Qiyou seem to snap back to herself.

“Then should we hold hands?”

“Sure.”

Putting aside the system’s requirements, Mu Yu was actually rather speechless about Duan Qingyi. If she was scared, why insist on coming to the basement? And once she came, she had to ask others to help her with this and that. Mu Yu was quite afraid of trouble.

Besides, luckily, she and Gu Qiyou only had a business relationship that was about to expire. If they were a real married couple, no matter how one looked at it, Duan Qingyi asking to come to the basement with one of them would seem unreasonable.

While Mu Yu was thinking, the hand she stretched out was firmly clasped by the woman. Gu Qiyou was quite strong and easily pulled her over, avoiding a muddy patch of water on the ground.

No matter how light Mu Yu was, she still had the weight of an adult. As she was pulled over, she nearly crashed into Gu Qiyou because of the momentum. But the woman changed her movement and smoothly wrapped an arm around her waist, leaning back against the wall. Caught off guard, Mu Yu fell into that warm embrace.

Mu Yu did not know what brand of perfume Gu Qiyou had sprayed on herself. It carried a faint, comfortable floral scent mixed with lemongrass, fresh and pleasant. As an Omega, Mu Yu had always been sensitive to scents, but the fragrance on this woman did not make her feel strange at all. Instead, it gave her an inexplicable sense of dependence.

It was only when Duan Qingyi seemed unable to keep watching and lightly coughed as a reminder that Mu Yu belatedly blushed and withdrew from Gu Qiyou’s arms.

When she raised her eyes, she saw the woman looking at her with a half-smile, as if mocking her loss of composure just now.

“Sister Yuyu, be careful. Just now, Sister Youyou said there was water on the floor here. I feel like it’s a bit oily and sli—”

Before Duan Qingyi could finish saying “slippery,” she tried to walk over on her own but stumbled, nearly falling to the ground. She staggered and lunged toward the two of them.

It happened too suddenly. Gu Qiyou still had Mu Yu in her arms. At this moment, if she let go of Mu Yu, she would certainly have a chance to catch Duan Qingyi.

But completely contrary to what Mu Yu imagined, the woman merely held her and twisted slightly to the side, making a little space for Duan Qingyi to avoid them. Duan Qingyi unexpectedly crashed into the wall. Fortunately, she did not hit her head, but the fall still left her seeing stars.

The woman hissed and sucked in a cold breath.

“Are you okay?” Mu Yu quickly asked with concern.

Duan Qingyi mumbled something. Mu Yu did not hear it clearly, but Gu Qiyou was already slightly impatient and told her to wait there instead of going in. The little girl was indeed a bit clumsy, and since Gu Qiyou’s tone was not too harsh, she agreed with some grievance and stood in place.

Mu Yu repeatedly complained to the system that the heroine was a steel-straight woman.

But right now, this “steel-straight woman” still had an arm around her waist, walking steadily through the dirty water under the flickering light. There were no night-vision cameras here, so the audience could not see the details inside clearly. Even so, Gu Qiyou still held her tightly, as if she had become addicted to their public act. This was the first time she had ever taken the initiative like this.

Mu Yu could only stretch out one hand and hook it around Gu Qiyou’s shoulder. Their height difference was not large, so this movement happened to be comfortable.

No one knew how the production team had found such a gloomy and winding basement. After turning through twists and corners for a long time, they finally saw a large wooden chest placed at the end. A key and a lock were placed on top of it. The broken-looking bottom was already wrapped in patchy moss stains. Its appearance made Mu Yu involuntarily think of the item-searching segments in horror games. It seemed that they usually happened in an environment just like this—

Snap!

As if responding to her thoughts, the strange lights in the basement, which had still been flickering back and forth, suddenly went out at this moment.

Completely unprepared, Mu Yu crashed into some unknown object in front of her. Beneath its hard surface, there seemed to be some unknown soft material. Fear instantly surged over her like mountains collapsing and seas overturning. Mu Yu clung tightly to Gu Qiyou beside her, wishing she could press her entire body into Gu Qiyou’s arms, trembling all over.

The moment a short scream rang out from the other end, a strange Omega pheromone swept over at the same time, carrying the sweet, rich fragrance of milk.

Before Mu Yu’s mind could react, her body’s instincts had already released part of her pheromones to resist the unconscious invasion from someone of the same sex. After sensing her gland preparing to act, Mu Yu’s expression changed sharply in the darkness, and she quickly restrained the pheromones back.

Whether because of guilt or something else, the moment all her pheromones poured back in, Mu Yu raised her eyes to look at Gu Qiyou.

In the darkness, Gu Qiyou’s expression could not be seen clearly. But the two were pressed very close together—so close that Mu Yu could even feel her breathing growing hotter and hotter.
