A Heartthrob Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha's Ex-Wife - Chapter 13

“The spoils just now were pretty good. We got so much, it should be enough for us to barely stay alive, hahaha!”

As soon as Mu Yu pushed the door open and went in, she heard Jake shouting loudly, deliberately emphasizing the words “stay alive.” Clearly, he was still brooding over the fact that the production team was not giving them food and that everything had to be obtained with their own hands. Before coming on this show, he had only been told it was a lifestyle variety show. Although the previous episodes had also made things difficult for the guests, they had never gone this far.

Seeing this, Zou Lili kindly comforted him with a few words. Only then did Jake quiet down a little, turning his gaze toward Mu Yu and Gu Qiyou, the married couple.

Because Gu Qiyou had obtained some useful supplies, especially since there were many fruits inside that he liked, Jake had an especially good impression of this cold, sweet-cool beauty. He chatted with Gu Qiyou in English for several sentences.

Jake’s hometown’s official language was not English, so Gu Qiyou replied to him in French. After discovering that Gu Qiyou’s French was actually so fluent, Jake became delighted. Naturally, Gu Qiyou could not abruptly interrupt him, so she calmly conversed with him for a while.

[Huh? I’m an old fan from her debut days, and even I only just found out that Youyou knows French and speaks it so well. She really hides her talents!]

[I’m not curious about what she and Jake said. Someone translate what Yu-You CP said back then for me. I’m so curious. Gu Qiyou directly turned off her mic…]

[LOL, turning off the mic means she didn’t want you to hear it. Why are you asking so many nosy questions?]

[Judging from a tiny bit of lip-reading, I feel like she said “Why are you in such a hurry?” Something close to that?]

[In such a hurry… combined with how Mu Yu ran out blushing at the time, my thoughts seem to be getting a little inappropriate.]

[Laughing while watching BE CP fans go crazy. You people can even imagine candy crumbs from this.]

At that time, only a little of Gu Qiyou’s mouth movement had been captured when she suddenly turned off the microphone. To the viewers in the livestream room who were completely unaware of the situation, it did indeed seem rather strange.

Those who enjoyed watching drama, those who hoped the CP could continue staying together to preserve their beautiful fantasy—all of them surged in together.

At that time, Mu Yu had been held by the wrist by Gu Qiyou and had stood frozen for a full three seconds before belatedly realizing that Gu Qiyou’s way of being jealous was a little strange.

She should… be jealous, right?

As a member of the Mu family, Mu Yu usually was not focused only on matters in the entertainment industry. During empty periods in her schedule, she often followed Old Master Mu around. It was not as if she had never had relatively close business partners, but Gu Qiyou had never said anything about that.

There had even been one time when she got drunk and was brought back by a woman. Mu Yu could not hold her alcohol, so the woman helped unfasten her seat belt and supported her out of the car. When she got out, Gu Qiyou happened to see it. Even then, Gu Qiyou only dutifully took her back from the other woman’s hands like a wife should. She did not make any extra reaction, nor had she ever interfered with Mu Yu’s friendships outside.

Yet at this moment, Gu Qiyou had rarely shown dissatisfaction in front of her about her contact with someone else—and the person just so happened to be Duan Qingyi. Aside from jealousy, there seemed to be no other reason.

The day that was meant to come would come eventually. There was no use trying to avoid it.

But what was somewhat unexpected was that when this woman really expressed dissatisfaction toward Mu Yu because of a stranger, Mu Yu actually felt a little uncomfortable inside, like a knot that was difficult to smooth out.

After they simply tidied their rooms and checked the supplies, the director began assigning tasks to everyone. They needed to draw lots and form teams to go to different places to complete missions. After completing the missions, they could receive corresponding supply packs, giving the whole thing a feeling of building a home.

There were six people in total, divided into three groups, with two mission locations. Under the program team’s arrangement, Mu Yu, Gu Qiyou, and Zou Lili were deliberately put together. Their mission was to earn enough two thousand yuan within half a day as the “family startup fund,” without showing their faces.

But just as the mission was given, Zou Lili suddenly said in an “outspoken” manner,

“If we can’t show our faces to fans, then what can people without talent do?”

Afterward, she looked apologetically at Mu Yu. It would have been better if she had not given that glance at all; once she did, everyone immediately understood who she was talking about. The woman’s cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her eyes and smiled in embarrassment, then lightly tapped her mouth, indicating that she had said the wrong thing.

Being suddenly arranged together with Zou Lili, who had never gotten along with her, already made Mu Yu somewhat unhappy. This woman was famous in the industry for her sharp tongue. To put it nicely, she was sharp-tongued; to put it unpleasantly, she had a foul mouth. She often made people uncomfortable with her words and even treated it as a personality trait worth showing off.

At this moment, seeing Mu Yu suffer, she strutted arrogantly when they went out. Fortunately, since they were in front of cameras, she restrained herself a little.

In order to save expenses, the three of them planned to take a covered tricycle together. There was still quite a long distance to the roadside. Along the way, the few of them chatted randomly.

Midway, Gu Qiyou needed to go to a small goods shop to buy a prop. The cameraman went with her. Only then did Zou Lili, who had been rambling on and on, finally get a chance to show off. She stared at Mu Yu as Mu Yu watched her wife leave, then sneered.

“Business wives? No wonder you two have been married for almost three years and there still hasn’t been any good news. Still unable to forget your ex-girlfriend, Mu Yu?”

Mu Yu turned her eyes back and met Zou Lili’s gaze, which was gradually sharpening. Zou Lili looked at her as if she were seeing a paper tiger and was not afraid at all.

Thinking of the reports about Mu Yu from the marketing accounts Chen Weiran had hired, as well as what she had seen and heard over the past few years, a somewhat absurd thought surfaced in Zou Lili’s mind. Yet she also felt that it was very reasonable.

“Does it kill you to guard such a beautiful wife but only be able to look and not eat? If you’re incapable of marking with pheromones, I can help you.”

Mu Yu’s attitude toward her remained the same as before—calm and unruffled in the most irritating way. But the words she said accurately stabbed the point Zou Lili was least willing to recall, causing Zou Lili’s reason to crumble under the intense stimulation.

“Back then, your wife was the one who came to me first. I’m too lazy to bother with you now, so stop acting crazy.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a rich scent of ocean waves erupted from Zou Lili’s gland, catching Mu Yu completely off guard.

Zou Lili’s pheromones smelled like the sea. To the olfactory nerves of those who liked her, they would be more affected by the romance of the sea breeze. But to Mu Yu, whose sense of smell was sharp and whose nerves were highly sensitive, that scent was mixed with the salty tang unique to sea salt. It drifted and swayed, stretching across the space above her before beginning to invade her olfactory system domineeringly.

The choking scent instantly swept through the surrounding air, forcibly controlled by Zou Lili so it would not spread. The woman’s face flushed red, and the suppressive force of Alpha pheromones surged violently toward Mu Yu.
