After Transmigrating as a Scum Alpha, I Marked my White Moonlight Omega - Chapter 8

Despite Yue Qian’s persistent persuasion, Jiang Nan still refused to drink that bowl of dark herbal medicine. It wasn’t that she detested the sour and bitter taste.

It was just that… if she drank it, what if her wife really tried to train her into a subordinate like Yue Qian?

She truly had no desire whatsoever to get involved in the dangerous work of the Black Gang.

At that moment, Lin Yu walked into the room. She had taken off her suit jacket, leaving only her white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her forearms. She looked toward Jiang Nan with her hands in her pockets, then glanced at the bowl of supplements on the nightstand, her brow furrowing.

“Why aren’t you drinking it?” Her voice was tightly controlled, masking a mysterious surge of irritability in her chest.

Seeing Lin Yu arrive, Jiang Nan looked up and continued to shake her head. So what if her beauty was a direct hit? She really didn’t want to be trained for combat!

After a moment of silence, she pursed her lips and refused: “I’m not drinking it.”

Lin Yu pressed a hand to her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. She pulled a short, sharp dagger from her waist, flourished it twice through the air, and asked again in a cold, hard tone: “Are you drinking it or not?”

Jiang Nan’s heart skipped a beat. She almost felt the rush of air sliced by the dagger, and the glint of the blade made her vision swim.

Damn… Wife really has me pinned.

Feeling defeated, she picked up the bowl of black medicine, making a final struggle. “Why do I have to drink this?”

She rubbed the rim of the bowl with a wronged expression. “If I drink it, I’ll definitely be forced into training to become like Yue Qian!”

Lin Yu: “?”

Yue Qian: “?”

Yue Qian tilted her head in confusion, watching Jiang Nan’s “life or death” display. “Perverted Spirit Medium, why would you think that?”

Jiang Nan got annoyed hearing that. She set the medicine down and asked in bewilderment, “Didn’t you say that if I drink this supplement, I’ll be able to take on ten people like you?”

“Plus, I was the only one who couldn’t fight when we were attacked today… You’re definitely sending me to training.”

Yue Qian couldn’t help but snicker, shifting her gaze to Lin Yu.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Nan looked back and forth between the smiling Yue Qian and her helplessly pouting wife with a face full of confusion.

Seeing that Lin Yu wasn’t speaking, Yue Qian explained: “Perverted Spirit Medium, the Boss didn’t mean that, and no one is requiring you to train. She specifically had this supplement prepared because she saw you fainting every day for the sake of your divine power… Though, if you want to get stronger, it’s not out of the question.”

Jiang Nan instantly felt incredibly embarrassed, the kind of awkwardness that makes you want to curl your toes. She shook her head frantically.

“I don’t have the heart for it. None at all.”

After saying that, she immediately gulped down the bowl of medicine. Her tongue was instantly numbed by the bitterness. With a contorted face, she grabbed the plain water Yue Qian handed her and rinsed her mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Yu leaned over and used her thumb to wipe a drop of medicine from the corner of Jiang Nan’s lip. She then brought it to her own lips, stuck out her tongue, and licked it off. She hooked her lips in a rare, teasing smirk. “What? Not worried I’ll drag you to training after you finish it?”

Her eyes curved slightly, but there was no real smile—just the amusement of someone playing with a kitten or a puppy.

Jiang Nan: Ah, that’s foul play, Wife. Sticking out your tongue like that is way too seductive… Wuwu.

Jiang Nan scratched the back of her head and thought seriously for a moment. “I am worried. But if Wife really demands it, I will… try my best to do it.”

Hehe, who told me to be a “Wife Slave” (henpecked).

As Lin Yu straightened up, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes. Her fingers curled slightly, as if a small crack had been quietly pried open in the walls around her heart.

Is this really that… notorious scum Alpha, Jiang Nan?

Or does she have another motive and is intentionally putting on a sweet, obedient act?

Regardless, at least Jiang Nan was currently under her control.

That was enough.

At dinner, Jiang Nan found her meal was exceptionally lavish—chicken, duck, fish, sea cucumber, and abalone.

Her hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly. Looking at the single portion in the small dish, she couldn’t help but wonder if she’d done something wrong again.

This setup, these dishes… why did it look so much like a “Last Supper”?

“Yue Qian, are you eating this for dinner too?”

Yue Qian sat across from Jiang Nan and thoughtfully ladled a bowl of ginseng chicken soup for her, shaking her head. “No, I’m having a bento box.”

Although Jiang Nan felt uneasy looking at the spread, her body honestly and carefully accepted the soup bowl Yue Qian handed her. She then took a large, slurping gulp.

The rich chicken broth mixed with the faint scent of ginseng was exquisite; the tender chicken melted in her mouth. The joy of her taste buds instantly reached her expression.

The irrelevant worries from a moment ago were cast aside as she immersed herself in the feast.

Seeing Jiang Nan eating so heartily, the corners of Yue Qian’s mouth turned up. She leaned in to share some news mysteriously. “Perverted Spirit Medium, I heard that since Big Brother Huzi got that Marriage Talisman from you, he met a beautiful Beta the very next day.”

Jiang Nan was shocked once again to hear that the charms she had randomly scribbled actually worked.

Could it be that my half-baked divine power has actually become this legendary through my tinkering?

Seeing that Jiang Nan didn’t speak, Yue Qian thought Jiang Nan took it as a matter of course. She rubbed her cheek with her finger, looking a bit embarrassed. “Perverted Spirit Medium, do you find it ridiculous?”

“I won the lottery with your charm, and Brother Huzi met someone to spend the rest of his life with.”

“I guess in your eyes, it’s nothing, right? Someone with your divine power probably thinks it’s trivial.”

Jiang Nan shook her head vigorously at Yue Qian’s words. She even stopped eating her abalone and raised her voice to deny it.

“Not at all! Think about it—having divine power must come with a price. With this weakling body of mine, I’ll probably never reach your level… being a model 007 who can leap over walls.”

Yue Qian couldn’t help but be amused. Seeing Yue Qian laugh, Jiang Nan gave a silly, honest chuckle as well.

“Perverted Spirit Medium, after dinner, remember to go to the study to join the Boss for a meeting.”

“Got it, got it. Burp.”

“After the meeting, draw me a Peach Blossom Talisman too… I want to meet a beautiful Beta as well.”

“Uh, insufficient divine power.”

“Then I’ll order you some more of those ‘male enhancement’ supplements right now!”

Jiang Nan: Hey, hey! Is it possible I didn’t mean it like that?!

After Jiang Nan leisurely finished her dinner, she brewed a cup of refreshing barley tea to digest her meal.

She then sauntered to the second-floor study. Pushing the door open gently, she found the room already full. The sound of the door caused every pair of eyes to snap toward her.

Wait, the meeting was set for 8:00.

It’s only 7:58. Why is it already packed?

Lin Yu sat in the center. Seeing Jiang Nan arrive, she pulled her knit cardigan tighter and spoke without hesitation.

“Since everyone is here, Jiang Nan, tell us first: what did you see at the company today?”

Before Jiang Nan could even get her seat warm, her wife was calling on her to speak. The subordinates’ eyes were once again fixed on her, making her let out an embarrassed laugh.

“Uh, it’s like this. I did see some things—a lot of information, actually. Specifically, things closely related to Chairman Lin’s business…”

Lin Yu tapped the desk with her finger, interrupting Jiang Nan’s pretentious nonsense. She spared her a glance and frowned with displeasure. “Get to the point.”

Feeling the “eye dagger” from her Lady Wife, Jiang Nan nodded obediently. “Yes, yes, yes. The point is, I saw a vision through Lin Wan.”

“Lin Wan took a sack of money and made a deal with another person who was covered in a bloody aura. However, that person’s face… I couldn’t see it clearly.”

At this, the others in the room let out small murmurs of disappointment, pouting as if the lack of a face was a dealbreaker.

“But! I know the location and the time of the transaction!”

The study went silent instantly.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, eager for this information. “What location and time?”

Jiang Nan took a sip of her barley tea and answered with a grin, “Slums, Number 45. Friday of the third week of last month.”

Immediately, several subordinates began searching the address and providing feedback.

“Boss, according to the search, that address is inhabited by a 45-year-old low-grade male Alpha. The rent expires in five months. Also, the family has a 20-year-old Alpha son named Dan Yang.”

“Boss, Dan Yang’s background is very simple. Logically, he shouldn’t have any contact with Lin Wan.”

“Could the Perverted Spirit Medium have seen it wrong? This person is completely disconnected from our social circles…”

“Yeah, it seems unlikely that this Dan Yang has any connection to Chairman Lin’s case.”

Jiang Nan: Eh? I didn’t see any of you questioning me when I was drawing talismans. What’s this, using your Boss’s presence to put pressure on me?

Lin Yu ignored her subordinates’ comments and simply instructed another female secretary nearby. “Nan Zhi, go perform a deep investigation of this household. We will draw conclusions after that.”

Nan Zhi bowed respectfully. “Understood. I’ll conduct a detailed investigation and visit.”

Lin Yu turned her gaze back to Jiang Nan, leaning back and frowning slightly. “And those people who attacked us this afternoon—did you see anything about them?”

Jiang Nan’s eyes flickered, as if she had caught the wrong point entirely. She flashed a toothy grin and blurted out:

“…Eh? ‘Us’? Hehe, that sounds so sweet.”

Everyone: “?”

How do we put this… is it really necessary to have this pervert participate?
