A Heartthrob Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha's Ex-Wife - Chapter 5

Leaving everything else aside, Mu Qing’s use of the word “play” was very subtle.

If someone else had said it like that, Mu Yu would definitely have understood it as simple friendliness. But once the words came out of Mu Qing’s mouth, they instantly became sarcastic and insinuating, making it sound as if Mu Yu’s wife was being brought along for others to play with.

Even though this was a halfway wife she had inexplicably picked up, Mu Yu instinctively disliked Mu Qing. She had not forgotten how this so-called older sister had gone out of her way to add fuel to the fire when Mu Yu had run into trouble earlier, so she wanted to refuse directly.

But before the words could leave her mouth, a set of data called “character setting value” suddenly appeared in her mind. The number “30” even faintly showed signs that it was about to collapse. When Mu Yu tried to think of words to reject her in her mind, that number vaguely changed to “20.”

Her memories of the original owner were pitifully few, and the system was not there either. This was already a high-difficulty opening. Could it be that the original owner had to attend this kind of family gathering no matter what?

After pausing for two seconds, Mu Yu acted as if she had been angered by Mu Qing and shot back,

“Of course my wife will go back with me. Just don’t bring those improper people back and anger the old man. That would already be a blessing.”

The “character setting value” rose by two points because of her sentence, so Mu Yu hung up before Mu Qing could speak. That was very much in line with the original owner’s style.

The two had been at odds for a long time. Usually, as long as there were no outsiders present, they could not be bothered to pretend. Their words were more unpleasant than the other’s. As an Alpha, Mu Qing was also rather indulgent. Unlike the original owner, who did things secretly, Mu Qing was the kind everyone tacitly knew about. As long as nothing was brought openly to the surface and no trouble was caused, the old master would simply turn a blind eye.

……

On the way home that night, Mu Yu, who was leaning against the car door and dozing off, once again received a mission from the system.

The wine-red light sedan shuttled through the bustling city, crossing past one obstruction after another ahead at a speed close to the limit. The destination was set to the old address of her company. There was a section of road under repair on the elevated bridge. When overtaking, the driver avoided it, barely brushing past the edge of another car as they drove by.

The flickering neon lights dyed even the sparse snow that had begun to fall at some point with a faint gentleness. The scenery outside the window rapidly receded from her view. Very soon, the car stopped not far from the company.

Fully disguised in a mask, Mu Yu told the driver to go back first, then got out of the car and rushed nonstop toward the old site of an online streamer training company located deep inside a long alley.

Cold snowflakes melted on Mu Yu’s brows the instant she rushed through the front door. The woman wiped away the melted snow, found the old radio station, entered the password, and turned on the computer.

Part of the place had not been completely moved out yet. The desktop computer in the radio room was almost covered in a thick layer of dust. The rarely seen light of the screen shone on the woman’s face. Mu Yu’s ten fingers typed rapidly, and she finally logged into the account and directly submitted the playlist before the host got off work.

Gu Qiyou had a habit that young people would find very strange. Before sleeping at night, she would listen for a while to the songs randomly played on a radio station. Occasionally, she would anonymously send in song requests. The station she listened to happened to belong to the company where Mu Yu had previously “tried” working.

However, according to the plot setting, after playing around in the streamer industry for a month, Mu Yu had to show that she was tired of it. After stirring up a little popularity, she ran off to mess around in the entertainment industry.

After the voice saying “Congratulations on completing the mission” came, Mu Yu let out a long breath. She stretched, narrowed her eyes, and turned off the computer.

Half a year before preparing for divorce, she romantically requested ten looped plays of Happy Breakup for her future ex-wife.

What a bizarre mission, Mu Yu thought. She did not want the driver to develop any suspicion toward her, so she had sent him away first. Now, while walking out, she planned to open an app and call a ride-hailing car.

**

Deep winter nights always carried a chill that seeped into bone and muscle. The dry night wind slowly swept away the warmth from one’s body. The narrow, dim alley had only one hazy light, faintly illuminating several elongated shadows.

There were also broken bottles thrown on the ground. Judging from the labels, they were drugs meant to strengthen instinct. If not for the fierce gazes of those people, which made them look as if they could swallow someone alive, then just based on the atmosphere, one might even mistake this for an indescribable scene.

The woman in the lead wore five-centimeter platform boots. Looking at the person gradually being forced into the corner, a flash of pity passed through her eyes. But she seemed to think of something, and the sympathy lasted only an instant. Like snow falling to the ground, the unnecessary emotion quickly melted away.

“Mu Yu.”

The woman swept a condescending gaze over her.

“Have your gland dug out or drink the sterilization drug. Choose one yourself, so I can report back. Otherwise…”

She glanced back at the burly men behind her and slowed her tone, giving the other party one final warning.

“With three Alphas together, you’ll definitely end up either dead or crippled.”

“Stop looking. There are no cameras here, and the cameras along the road have also been dealt with. Since we were able to track you here, you should understand this isn’t something that can be solved easily, right?”

After Chen Weiran finished speaking, she strode forward and reached out, wanting to lift Mu Yu’s lowered chin. However, before her fingertips could touch that fair skin that looked like it would feel very good, a fist shot up from below and slammed directly into her jawbone.

The huge impact made Chen Weiran feel an unbearable pain pierce through her mouth and the bridge of her nose. What greeted her next was the woman’s sudden kick with a long leg. There was not the slightest mercy in it. It landed precisely on her soft abdomen. The people behind her did not even have time to rush over to help before Chen Weiran staggered back several steps and fell miserably into the snow, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Along with the scorching crimson blood, half a broken tooth was spat out.

Hot blood stained the white snow red. Chen Weiran half-knelt on the ground, coughing and gasping desperately. When she raised her head, she saw that the woman who had previously been retreating step by step had already tidied herself up. On her usually expressionless face, she curved out a soul-stirring smile.

Mu Yu was indeed beautiful. Otherwise, back then, Chen Weiran would not have been bewitched by her beauty and agreed to date an Alpha in an Alpha-Alpha relationship. Even though the pain in her body had not faded, Chen Weiran still became momentarily dazed and thought through gritted teeth.

Chen Weiran had been Mu Yu’s ex-girlfriend before Mu Yu met Gu Qiyou.

Back then, Mu Yu had relied on that face to charm Chen Weiran until she was utterly captivated. After falling in love at first sight, Chen Weiran had pursued her madly and finally won her over. Unfortunately, during the six months they were together, Mu Yu never allowed Chen Weiran to touch her, nor did she take the initiative to touch Chen Weiran.

Even when Chen Weiran deliberately found excuses to stay overnight at Mu Yu’s house, then wore thin and sexy pajamas after showering and wandered in front of Mu Yu, the latter only glanced at her indifferently before looking away, acting exactly like someone frigid who did not understand romance at all.

During that time, Mu Yu had said they could break up if Chen Weiran was unhappy, but Chen Weiran did not want to lose such a beautiful and presentable girlfriend, so she stubbornly dragged things out and refused to let go.

Unfortunately, an Alpha-Alpha relationship could not use pheromones to attract each other after all. So Chen Weiran, who truly could not endure it anymore, stood Mu Yu up on the anniversary of the day they met and ended up rolling together with an Omega rich young lady who was seeking excitement.

Afterward, the rich young lady was very satisfied with her and proposed dating Chen Weiran. After hesitating again and again, Chen Weiran still told her about her boring relationship with Mu Yu, which provoked the young lady’s jealousy. The young lady said she would back Chen Weiran up and demanded that she ruin Mu Yu.

At first, considering that although the two of them had never gone any further, they had still known each other for half a year, Chen Weiran thought she should not be so ruthless. But later, when the young lady offered to keep her for three years, she was easily swayed.

On this snowy night, she hired three strong male Alphas to come over and arranged for them to track Mu Yu for a while. Finally, they found an opportunity to block her in a corner.

Chen Weiran had thought that as a woman, when Mu Yu saw four people surrounding her, she would surely be afraid and obediently drink the sterilization drug. The drug she had ultimately softened her heart and obtained was short-term. It would only affect an Alpha’s functions for three years. Three years later, when Chen Weiran left the young lady’s side, Mu Yu would naturally be able to recover.

But she had not expected…

“Sterilization drug?”

Looking at the people blocking her at the alley entrance, Mu Yu instead curved her lips into a smile. She lifted a strand of long hair that had fallen down and pressed it against her face. The cold wind was piercing, and snowflakes drifted through the air. Yet she was only wearing a short down jacket, and it was even open at the front. The cautious look from earlier vanished completely as she walked toward them step by step.

A rich fragrance suddenly spread out with Mu Yu as its center. It was scorching like boiling oil and blazing fire, yet it carried the mellow, elegant aroma of roses. The enormous impact caused illusions to completely occupy the minds of several people. For a moment, they actually saw thorny vines winding and growing, while raging flames chased their prey endlessly, forcing their reason to collapse and short-circuit under the intense impact of Alpha pheromones.

The woman’s black-soled boots stepped on the snow, making an oppressive rustling sound.

It was S-rank, extremely aggressive Alpha pheromones!

The male Alphas were only ordinary Alphas. Even with drugs enhancing them, their physical strength might have given them a slight advantage over ordinary female Alphas, but it was not enough to create an overwhelming edge. In front of Mu Yu’s S-rank pheromones, they were nothing compared to her. In an instant, their legs went weak, and like stray dogs, all their viciousness disappeared.

“Get lost.”

Mu Yu’s expression did not change. Clearly, releasing pheromones this strong was not a huge outburst at all for an “Alpha” like her. Her gland could even isolate the range of the pheromones within this short alley and prevent them from drifting and leaking everywhere with the wind, which showed how unfathomable her strength really was.

Chen Weiran’s heart nearly stopped. Under the other party’s powerful pressure, her legs almost went weak enough for her to kneel down again. The men had already lost all fighting spirit and staggered as they fled outward. Seeing Mu Yu leisurely approach step by step, Chen Weiran shouted a few fierce but cowardly threats, then suddenly turned and ran too.

When Mu Yu walked to the end of the alley, the view ahead abruptly opened up. Only the chaotic footprints remained, preserving the panicked departure of those people just now. Mu Yu lazily lowered her eyes, curved her lips, and skillfully adjusted her increasingly rapid breathing.

Clink!

It was the sound of a small glass bottle falling to the ground. The glass was high quality and did not crack. Mu Yu bent down and picked it up. The dim streetlight illuminated the label stuck on it. The small line of words, “Alpha Pheromone—Blazing Rose,” was especially eye-catching.

Blazing Fire was a type of S-rank Alpha pheromone with extremely high rarity, famous for its strong aggression. In the pheromone records, the only registered case from the same series belonged to a high-ranking officer during wartime. In the end, it had been she and many powerful Alphas who led human civilization to victory and established a new order.

What Mu Yu held in her hand now was precisely a pheromone storage bottle.

Unfortunately, the Alpha pheromones inside were almost used up.

A fragrant, rich, and thick scent surged at the tip of her nose, stirring her blood as if a ball of fire were flowing through it. Mu Yu, who had a pill in her mouth, sighed. She opened her phone and called a car through an app, then stepped on the thin layer of snow and walked out of the alley.

**

Midnight.

The radio station, which ended automatically on schedule, had played Happy Breakup on loop ten times tonight.

When it played the first time, there were still people willing to listen patiently. By the second and third times, the number of listeners began to plummet. The bullet comments continuously filled with strings of “???” in questioning protest.

The woman lying lazily on her side on the sofa did not turn off the ending of the radio program. Her slender fingers held a small rainbow ball as she absentmindedly teased a white Pomeranian. After the final lingering note faded, she tossed the ball onto the floor. The little Pomeranian, lacking much interest, stretched out a paw and pressed down on this round ball it had played with countless times. Then, seeing its owner get up, it barked excitedly.

It was probably not very smart. Seeing Gu Qiyou stand up and put on clothes while answering the phone, it thought its owner had suddenly lost her mind and wanted to take it downstairs for a walk in the middle of the night. It excitedly hopped around Gu Qiyou’s feet.

But when the woman came out of the bathroom and even put on her shoes without taking the leash, it was greatly disappointed. It grumbled in complaint and curled itself into a little snowball. Gu Qiyou, who was already standing at the door waiting for the elevator, bent down and pinched the dog’s thin, fleshy ear. Her gaze, however, was fixed on the location Mu Yu had sent on her phone. Her expression was hard to read.

It was a bar street located in Jing City’s high-end luxury district, where every inch of land was worth gold. It could be called the best place for wealthy families to hunt for romance. As for the fact that her wife had not returned late at night and had instead gone to a bar, Gu Qiyou did not show the anger most people should have. Her expression was instead as calm as if she were going out to handle official business.

Her slender figure disappeared into the increasingly heavy wind and snow. Gu Qiyou got into a late-night taxi, and after giving the destination, she only said briefly, “Go faster.”

……

“Miss, we’re here.”

The driver’s voice came from the front, carrying a bit of relief at having completed the task. Watching Gu Qiyou get out of the car expressionlessly and walk toward that dazzling bar street full of lights and sounds, a strange thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

The snow was vast, and for the moment, there were no orders to take. The driver’s gossiping mood grew stronger and stronger. Watching Gu Qiyou’s hurried departing back, he suddenly developed the thought of staying nearby to watch the show.

After paying the fare, Gu Qiyou’s phone had already run out of battery and turned off automatically. Under the driver’s gossip-filled gaze of hidden expectation, the originally hurried woman stopped in front of a bar.

But she did not go upstairs as he had hoped. Instead, she slowly sat down at the entrance.
