A Heartthrob Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha's Ex-Wife - Chapter 17

Second differentiation was a rare phenomenon in Mu Yu’s world, but for the people of this world, it was not quite the same.

The author’s private setting for this world was that gender had fluidity. If the first differentiation happened relatively early, at eighteen years old when one reached adulthood or even earlier, then that gender would remain unchanged. If one was an Omega, one would remain an Omega; if one was an Alpha, one would remain an Alpha. There would be no changes.

But if differentiation happened after the age of eighteen, or if one had not yet differentiated, it was possible to enter a second differentiation period after some time. As the name suggested, it meant one’s gender could change. Although the probability was as tiny as one in a hundred million, the possibility still could not be ruled out.

Gu Qiyou was a Beta. It was possible for her to differentiate into either an Alpha or an Omega. But in Zou Lili’s view, she wished Gu Qiyou would differentiate into an Alpha, the same gender as Mu Yu. Surely they could not have some powerful Alpha-Alpha romance, right? That would be a laughingstock.

If a change in gender would occur during the second differentiation period, then around the time it was approaching, one would be able to smell pheromones and might be affected by the pheromones of people nearby.

In the original plot setting, the original character had actually forced Gu Qiyou to take medicine, making her enter her second differentiation period early. Then she used her Alpha pheromones to bring Gu Qiyou intense stimulation, pushing her to differentiate into an Omega.

“Although the probability of second differentiation is small, it’s better to believe it might happen than to dismiss it completely. It’s not as if there have never been successful cases. At worst, there are other methods…”

After Zou Lili said a few sentences to herself, she seemed to finally realize that she had said too much. A slightly malicious smile rose between her gorgeous brows and eyes. After saying, “You two chat,” she slowly walked away in her high heels, leaving Gu Qiyou and Duan Qingyi standing there in silence.

Duan Qingyi raised her head, and when her gaze landed on Gu Qiyou’s face, a sudden, inexplicable shyness made a faint blush rise across her cheeks. She found an excuse and quickly said goodbye, running off. The lively scene instantly turned quiet.

Gu Qiyou watched the two of them leave one after another. She raised her hand and subconsciously made a motion as if to reach backward, but then slowly stopped in midair. When her hand fell again, it changed direction and gently pressed against the bite mark on her shoulder that had still not completely faded.

It actually hurt faintly.

At the same time, Chen Weiran sat in the back seat of an SUV, gnashing her teeth. A Bluetooth earbud worth tens of thousands hung from one ear as she watched Mu Yu walk out of the room alone, happily humming a tune that was completely off-key.

Since last night, the northwest wind had been raging. Before dawn, heavy snow began to fall. Jing City had been drowned overnight in a vast expanse of white, giving it a faint, unreal feeling.

The car heater was on. Elegant Bach music played inside the car, but it did nothing to improve Chen Weiran’s mood, which was as gloomy as the sky outside. She lightly gritted her teeth and, feeling wronged, touched her still somewhat swollen right cheek.

Half an hour ago, Chu Wenxiang had flown into a rage because Chen Weiran said something wrong and slapped her across the face, leaving Chen Weiran dazed.

This was the first time she had ever met such a fierce Omega. Chu Wenxiang had refreshed her understanding of Omegas again and again. They had been together for so long, yet Chu Wenxiang summoned her and dismissed her whenever she pleased. Sometimes, after they finished at night, she would even make Chen Weiran put on her clothes and leave. Such a large house could not even make room for her in a guest room.

From time to time, Chen Weiran somewhat regretted betraying Mu Yu and following Chu Wenxiang. But before this, Chu Wenxiang had at most only mocked her coldly. She had not expected that after seeing a trending topic just now, Chu Wenxiang would suddenly call her over and slap her in the face without another word.

If it had been any other Omega, Chen Weiran would definitely have used her fists to teach her how to behave. But the person in front of her was the young lady of the Chu family, someone she could not afford to offend. She could only swallow her anger and look at the phone the other woman handed her.

On the phone was a trending topic that had clearly been bought: Director Liu Watches Yu-You CP Online.

When Mu Yu first won that role, Chu Wenxiang had already been holding in anger. Now that her mood was even worse, she no longer treated Chen Weiran the same way as before. In fact, ever since Chen Weiran failed that previous task and was instead frightened by Mu Yu into fleeing in embarrassment, her status on Chu Wenxiang’s side had plummeted, losing the equality and intimacy from before.

Chu Wenxiang liked to be hot and cold, doing everything according to her mood. This annoyed Chen Weiran greatly, but this woman was not someone she could casually resist. She wanted to end this dangerous relationship, yet she was reluctant to let it go.

Right now, she was just a grasshopper tied to a string and controlled by Chu Wenxiang. She wanted to break free, but she could not leave.

The SUV traveled across the elevated road without obstruction. Only two cars not far away stayed at varying distances from them, sometimes closer, sometimes farther. Chen Weiran did not think much of it.

They soon arrived at their destination. It was a French restaurant she had never been to before. The baked snails and cherry-blossom brandy shochu tasted quite good, but Chen Weiran ate absentmindedly.

Aside from the discomfort of her swollen cheek, she could also vaguely sense an uncomfortable feeling of wrongness. Because even after applying medicine, her face still burned painfully. Chen Weiran sensitively noticed that the waiter had quietly looked at her several times.

Using the excuse of going to the bathroom, she could not help running to the restroom to examine her injury. But when she came back, Chen Weiran was dumbfounded. The woman who had originally been sitting across from her and slowly cutting filet mignon had vanished as if she had transformed and disappeared. As if to prevent Chen Weiran from searching aimlessly, Chu Wenxiang had even “kindly” left behind a small note that said “byebye.”

Chen Weiran felt as though she had been struck by lightning. She had no appetite for the remaining half of the meal and hurriedly ran outside.

……

Guided by the waiter’s sweet voice, Chen Weiran paid the bill for the first time while eating with an Omega, feeling as if her heart were bleeding. In the past, when she was with Mu Yu, she ate and drank at Mu Yu’s expense. Now that she was with Miss Chu, it was naturally the same. She just had not expected a single meal to cost five figures.

That person surnamed Chu had stopped her card. Chen Weiran could only use her own card to pay, leaving almost nothing in her balance.

But before she could recover from the pain of being dumped by Miss Chu, just as she walked along the alley to a quiet spot, several figures suddenly sprang out from the vast white snow, nearly scaring Chen Weiran’s soul out of her body.

The strong Alphas looked very much like how she had gone to block Mu Yu late at night back then. After realizing something was wrong, Chen Weiran screamed and ran toward the restaurant. But a burst of domineering fir-scented pheromones erupted, pressing her legs weak. She stumbled and fell to the ground.

The severe pain of unfamiliar pheromones invading her gland made her consciousness blur and nearly disappear. Chen Weiran spat out a mouthful of warm blood in agony, spraying it across the lifeless white snow.

In her daze, she faintly heard the name “Gu Qiyou” and the words “make Miss Mu happy”…

**

The revenge branch of the ex has been activated. Scumbag woman progress: 87%.

The system’s sudden reminder startled Mu Yu, who was currently matching wits with the production team. Her shoulders trembled, and the basket in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter. The relay mission where she had to carry a vegetable basket and jump rope with the staff failed at her turn.

Mu Yu quickly gave the person in front of her an apologetic smile while urgently asking,

“What is this revenge of the ex supposed to be? You’re making me look like some ultimate scumbag who’s still in contact with Chen Weiran!”

This involves important spoilers, so the system cannot answer. The danger level of this branch is very high. Character Chen Weiran has blackened. Tasker, please protect yourself in the near future.

Mu Yu, who had been wholeheartedly recording the variety show and knew nothing: “???”

No matter how good Mu Yu’s temper was, she could not withstand this kind of torment. If it were something she had caused herself, fine, but now a black pot had inexplicably been dumped on her head. She was so angry she cursed the system as insane.

Director’s team: “Good—Mu Yu, six points. You receive one portion of potatoes and napa cabbage. Go back and call the next person you meet to continue the relay.”

Mu Yu was rushing to argue fiercely with the trash system, so how could she still care what the director had said? She stormed toward the villa with the vegetable basket in hand.

There was no one around. Her words accidentally reached her lips.

“If you dare bother me again, you’re dead, I’m warning you. If there’s any movement again tonight—”

She shoved the door, but it did not open. Mu Yu pushed harder, and following the momentum, she nearly crashed straight into Gu Qiyou’s arms as the other woman was about to enter.
