A Heartthrob Transmigrated as the Scumbag Alpha's Ex-Wife - Chapter 8

Young people all hated being urged to have children, but this was not an ordinary kind of urging.

No matter how much Mu Yu disliked it, she definitely could not resist Old Master Mu too intensely. At least, not openly.

So Gu Qiyou first awkwardly tugged up the corners of her lips and smiled, saying that the two of them had previously been completely focused on their careers. After all, they were actors. Once a pregnancy began to show, it would be very difficult to continue filming. The first three months were also very dangerous for a first-time pregnant person. Once pregnancy happened, including the preparation period, it would add up to nearly a year-long break.

For an actor whose career was on the rise, disappearing from the screen for a year counted as a massive loss. A long empty period would cause that face to be quickly abandoned in this fast-changing information age. Unless someone was an older actor with an extremely stable fanbase, which new-generation celebrity could withstand such a cost?

If she really got pregnant, it would be no different from asking the pregnant person to give up her career.

Gu Qiyou sneered inwardly. She knew this disrespectful old man had no good intentions. Every time he asked them to attend a gathering or meet up, he could always find a pile of unreasonable things to do. It made her more and more resistant to Mu Yu’s family, and more and more disgusted with them.

It was not impossible for Betas to conceive; it was just that their chances of conception were lower than Omegas’. The union between an Omega and an Alpha relied on their pheromones working together. During an Alpha’s susceptible period, or during an Omega’s heat, the Alpha would bite open the Omega’s gland and inject their own pheromones into it. As long as enough pheromones were injected, the Omega’s cells would be stimulated, and pregnancy would occur.

It could be said that as long as both sides had no problems, an Omega’s chance of pregnancy was practically guaranteed.

Moreover, children born between an Alpha and an Omega would usually be either Alpha or Omega. Cases where the child was a Beta were very rare.

Old Master Mu was not very satisfied with Mu Yu taking a Beta as her wife. If not for the fact that Gu Qiyou could also bring benefits to Mu Yu, Gu Qiyou probably would not even have been allowed through the family door.

This time, it would not be so easy to avoid with just a few words.

The old master had brought it up twice before, and both of them had refused by saying their workload was too heavy. If they refused again this time, the old master would probably start thinking about making Mu Yu change wives. He might even encourage her to keep an Omega outside. This was something Old Master Mu was capable of doing.

If it were the true scumbag Alpha original owner, she would now think Old Master Mu made sense. Then she would stand on the old man’s side and start firing at Gu Qiyou with mockery and ridicule.

Mu Yu had transmigrated here three or four years ago.

During this period, the system had been online quite frequently and had supplemented Mu Yu with some of the original owner’s previous “knowledge.” As for some of the original owner’s views and the methods she had held back from carrying out, Mu Yu did not dare agree.

For example, having children.

Before the three ABO secondary sexes existed in this world, humans had only been divided into men and women. After years of equal-rights movements, women had finally managed to fight for relatively fair treatment, yet they still faced discrimination in employment and other aspects. All sorts of deep-rooted prejudices buried under a patriarchal society would not be completely eradicated just because people’s ideas became more open.

But when the three ABO sexes replaced the ordinary male-female division, some Alphas, even if they were women, still held the same narrow-minded ideas as certain men in the past. For example, they believed all Omegas existed as “pets” for reproduction.

In the plot, it was written that the scumbag Alpha would force Gu Qiyou to have a child. Even though this was not included in the agreement between the two of them, when they were close to divorce, the scumbag Alpha still wanted to force her to give birth to “her own” bloodline through forced marking, thinking that Gu Qiyou would not leave because she loved the child.

Later, Gu Qiyou indeed paid an enormous price to completely remove the remaining pheromones from her body. The scumbag Alpha failed to leave even the slightest trace inside her, but the immense damage caused was not something that could be eradicated through physical cleansing.

Of course, Mu Yu was not an Alpha. Even if she had now become an Alpha, she still could not do something as outrageously scummy as the original plot.

As an Omega, although Mu Yu had lived freely and happily in her original world, she also understood the suffering and difficulties of Omegas. She definitely could not reject Old Master Mu outright like she would a normal elder, so she changed to a more tactful way of speaking.

“We have indeed been preparing recently. Please don’t be anxious. Isn’t Sister Qing still going on blind dates?” Mu Yu decided to use the delaying tactic and muddle through. “It’s one thing for me, the younger sister, to have married early, but no matter what, I shouldn’t overstep others, right?”

“That’s true.” Mu Qing actually followed along and nodded. “Why don’t Yuyu and I go get our bodies checked together in a couple of days? The private doctor I booked last time was quite good. We can go together and keep each other company. It’ll also be convenient to take care of each other.”

Mu Yu’s mind suddenly went blank.

A physical checkup itself was not the problem. The problem was that she was an Omega…

And it was Mu Qing’s private doctor. Even if Mu Yu had no problems, Mu Qing would definitely exaggerate and create some. Not to mention the huge matter of her hiding her sex.

Alpha and Omega physical examinations both required pheromone infusion and collection. If it was revealed in front of Mu Qing that she was not an Alpha, then it probably would not be long before her character setting collapsed and it was GAME OVER.

This damned world could not reload a save and start again.

Mu Yu’s silence further confirmed Mu Qing’s guess. Mu Qing had always felt that Mu Yu seemed a little off lately. Although she could not say exactly where, at the very least, the fact that Mu Yu was unwilling to go for a physical checkup with her was rather strange.

The old Mu Yu liked dragging Mu Qing into all kinds of competitions, wishing she could suppress her in every single thing. Had she suddenly changed her nature now? Not even a three-year-old child would believe that.

“Thank you, Sister Qing, but I’ll go with her.”

Just as Mu Qing was about to speak again, a cold and clear voice interrupted her aggressive pressure.

Gu Qiyou looked at Mu Yu with eyes full of gentleness and shyness. She opened her mouth, as if she was a little embarrassed to speak in front of Old Master Mu, but she also seemed afraid that her wife would be misunderstood. After a moment, she finally said in a small, bashful voice,

“I also want to know, if I get pregnant, how likely the baby is to be an Alpha. I heard it can be adjusted…”

Gu Qiyou stopped at just the right point. Of course, Old Master Mu, who had lived long enough to become cunning, could understand what she meant.

This era did not value sons over daughters. Instead, it valued Alphas over Omegas and Betas. Since Gu Qiyou herself said she wanted to give birth to an Alpha, Old Master Mu was naturally happy.

“Then that’s settled. The two wives will go for their checkup themselves. Xiao Qing, don’t meddle.”

Old Master Mu happily finalized the matter in one sentence, instantly scattering all the little schemes Mu Qing had been calculating in her heart. Mu Qing was so angry smoke was practically coming out of her seven orifices. Her gaze toward Gu Qiyou quietly gained a bit of dissatisfaction, but she did not dare act up in front of the old master.

“I heard you two are going on All In?” Mu Qing sounded as if she was casually chatting, but her words were barbed. Lifting her eyelids, she brought up a name right in front of Gu Qiyou. “Does Weiran know?”

……

Chen Weiran did more than know. Chen Weiran was practically about to die of anger.

Ever since Mu Yu had been photographed after going to the bar last time, that Omega young lady, who knew Chen Weiran’s mission had failed, became furious. She even gave Chen Weiran the cold shoulder, and within two days, she had found a new lover.

Chen Weiran had always thought Omegas were gentle and considerate. Even if they were rich young ladies, they should still be a little shy. This was her first time encountering an Omega like this. The feeling of being covered by a green cloud made her, as an Alpha, extremely uncomfortable. Naturally, while secretly being angry at that young lady, Chen Weiran did not remember how confidently she had cheated on Mu Yu back then.

This young lady was different from Mu Yu. She was not involved in the entertainment industry or real estate. No matter what, Mu Yu could not control her. This was also a society ruled by law now, so it was not very likely that she would hire someone to beat or kill people. But the young lady’s power was somewhat connected to gray areas. No matter how uncomfortable Chen Weiran felt, she did not dare challenge her.

After discovering that the young lady seemed to have a persistent hatred toward Mu Yu, Chen Weiran threw caution to the wind. Through friends, she contacted some marketing accounts and, just before the two were about to go on the variety show, released some ambiguous chat records and photos.

Of course, there were no photos of her in them. These days, even with censoring technology, skilled technicians could restore the original appearance through mosaics. Chen Weiran did not want to become famous like that.

Because the original owner truly had no interest in Alphas, she had never had any intimate actions with Chen Weiran. The most that could be photographed was the two of them together, such as eating a meal or watching a movie. At the time, the original owner was probably simply curious about what it felt like to date someone of the same secondary sex, which was why she had that relationship with Chen Weiran.

But for online marketing accounts that treated every breeze as a storm, these leaks were more than enough.

Two days later, while rumors and popularity were rising rapidly, When the City’s Fireworks Are in Progress officially announced its participating guests. One of them, Zou Lili, was an Alpha, and her wife was part of a traditional Alpha-Omega romance. This formed a sharp contrast with Mu Yu and Gu Qiyou.

It was already an open secret in the industry that Zou Lili and Mu Yu did not get along. Although the two had never torn into each other directly, insults and attacks between their fans were already commonplace.

The cause was extremely childish. As a traffic celebrity, Zou Lili had been invited by a game livestreaming platform to act as a spokesperson. As a special guest, she drew fans to play with her. During a ranked match, she happened to be matched with Mu Yu. Mu Yu, who usually played marksman, did not give way to Zou Lili, who usually played mid-lane. Instead, she took the new hero Zou Lili wanted to ban and slaughtered everyone.

At the time, Zou Lili had been playing with an Omega fan. Later, perhaps because that Omega felt that she also liked Mu Yu’s gaming style and face, she soon “climbed the wall” and became Mu Yu’s fan.

Fans coming and going was common, but Zou Lili had once felt extremely humiliated. During an offline invitational match, she directly confronted Mu Yu and mocked her a few times, only to be lightly countered by Mu Yu until she had nothing to say, making her face turn red with anger.

Although Zou Lili married her assistant a year later, she still brooded over Mu Yu’s actions back then.

During the livestream interview before this recording, perhaps because she wanted revenge for how Mu Yu had embarrassed her before, when the host smilingly threw out a gentle question about her future plans, Zou Lili’s answer was barbed, and the atmosphere suddenly filled with the thick smell of gunpowder.

“Plans? My wife and I plan to have a child later.”

Zou Lili’s makeup was mature and sexy. Her slender fingers casually played with the loose strands of hair on her forehead. These were clearly words she had prepared in advance, yet she sounded quite natural.

“Although online right now there’s that thing… artificial saccharin? That’s what it’s called, right? There’s a lot of that. But my wife and I are a traditional Alpha and Omega couple after all, so we still plan to have a child of our own.”

Then she waved toward the camera, seemingly greeting her wife, who was waiting at a fixed point to watch the livestream. Her smile was full of indulgent affection.

“But I can’t bear to let my Omega suffer too much. It’s enough if she gives me one little princess. Whether the child is an Alpha or Omega doesn’t matter. I’m not greedy.”

Unlike some people, who could not get one even if they wanted to be greedy. Unless they cheated, it was very difficult for an Alpha-Beta romance to produce an Alpha or Omega child.

Zou Lili thought with a hint of malice.

But then again, the two women’s looks were indeed excellent. They were pleasing to the eye just by standing there. Zou Lili had also heard the recent rumors, and she watched gleefully as the host asked them somewhat sharp questions.

For example, whether the two sides minded that the other had an ex—such a sensitive and private topic, and the host actually asked it directly. It was especially exciting.

This was an unedited livestream, with the camera shooting straight on. The host, who wanted gossip, was like a fly that had smelled eggy fishiness, staring hard at that crack and trying to squeeze in.

“An ex? As long as both sides are honest about it, of course it doesn’t matter. It’s not ancient society anymore, where having had romantic experiences counts as a stain, and people get drowned in pig cages, thrown into ponds, or forced to kill themselves at the slightest thing.”

Gu Qiyou’s answer, paired with her gentle expression, was flawless. She tightly held Mu Yu’s hand and said softly,

“Sometimes, there are many storms and rumors outside. You have to use your eyes to see, not your ears to listen. No matter what happened before, having her in this life is enough for me.”

“It seems our ‘Yu-You CP’ really is very loving, hahaha. Then you two can go prepare and take a look at the rooms first. We’ll officially start recording soon.”

Failing to dig up the material she wanted, and seeing that Gu Qiyou seemed tight-lipped, the host simply gave up her futile effort. She used loud laughter to cover the awkwardness and turned to interview the next male guest, who was already prepared.

After lifting the curtain and walking out of the small room filled with dazzling flashlights, the view before them suddenly opened up. What entered their eyes was a duplex villa. The lush garden in front had quite a large area, enough for several people to do morning exercises together. It did indeed look like a place where a large household would live together.

Zou Lili had come out earlier and had already rushed upstairs to look at the rooms. Although they could not freely choose rooms yet, they could at least first look at where they wanted to stay.

Gu Qiyou did not often go on variety shows. Usually, she only participated in some interview programs, so in an environment like this, she was still slightly restrained. Logically speaking, at a time like this, a normal person should stay by their wife’s side. But Mu Yu’s character setting was “scumbag Alpha.” On this show where Gu Qiyou and her official wife would meet for the first time, of course Mu Yu would not take care of her.

Broken-mirror-never-reunites novels usually had a comparison group, and the heroine’s vicious original wife was the one used to highlight the advantages of the current partner.

Mu Yu understood this very well.

And the system’s reminder was right by her ear.

Countdown until the official wife comes online: 495 seconds, 494 seconds, 493 seconds…

Mu Yu planned to first help Gu Qiyou test the waters. After all, the two of them could be considered acquaintances. Mainly, she needed to first confirm whether this official wife had a good or bad temper. She would not forget what kind of ending the scumbag Alpha had in the original novel. If that official wife disliked her, the ex, Mu Yu would also have to find a way to save herself.

“I’ll go downstairs and walk around to look at the environment. You wash your face or go to the bathroom first. The official livestream will start soon.”

Mu Yu said this to Gu Qiyou. The indoor livestream was temporarily off. Only the interview room was being livestreamed the whole time. The suspense would only be revealed once the show officially began.

Seeing Gu Qiyou nod in agreement, Mu Yu appeared casual as she slowly walked downstairs. Somewhere she did not notice, the woman narrowed her eyes slightly.

Over the past few days, Gu Qiyou had felt that Mu Yu’s actions in all aspects were very strange. Previously, the two of them had lived their own lives without interfering with each other. Now they communicated more, but Mu Yu’s various reactions made Gu Qiyou feel that something was extremely odd.

Just like how this woman had suddenly said she wanted to go downstairs. Gu Qiyou’s sixth sense told her Mu Yu must be hiding something from her. Otherwise, when they were outside, the two of them were always operating their public image. If nothing was going on, Mu Yu would definitely not suddenly leave her.

After simply tidying her luggage, Gu Qiyou seemed to casually pick up a tissue to wipe the windowsill. The moment she lifted the cloth curtain, she abruptly saw a bright and beautiful figure.

Unlike the indifference she had always maintained in front of Gu Qiyou, Mu Yu was smiling sweetly and beautifully at that unfamiliar woman.
