After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 37

Because Shen Zhibei had truly carried out the threat she had always made against Gu Nan.

Namely: tattling to the parents.

Because of this, Gu Nan was lectured by her two mothers for a very long time, with her ears repeatedly “pulled and instructed.” In this case, the idiom was being used physically.

With both ears bright red—each mother had taken one—Gu Nan walked toward the rooms together with Shen Zhibei.

Although after returning home, the two still slept in separate rooms, their rooms were on the same floor, so they still had to walk together.

“Damn it, you actually tattled to the parents. Are you an elementary school student?” Gu Nan muttered behind Shen Zhibei.

Shen Zhibei turned back and glanced at Gu Nan, gave a light snort, and ignored her.

After all, she was the one with the upper hand. She would allow the loser to vent a few complaints.

Once they returned to their rooms, both of them remembered the matter of the rings. At the same time, they each sent messages to someone they trusted—Assistant Jin and Sister Yan—asking them to bring over a pair of matching rings tomorrow.

After messaging Assistant Jin, Gu Nan began unpacking her luggage.

It was only then that she discovered she had forgotten to mention the ten catties of Yingpan Mountain specialty American ginseng she had brought back.

It was all Shen Zhibei’s fault. Hmph. None of the American ginseng she brought back would have a share for her anymore.

Gu Nan carried the big bag to Mother and Mom’s room.

She knocked twice on the door. “Mother, Mom.”

Hearing Gu Nan’s voice, the two people in the room who had been discussing Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei immediately went silent.

After exchanging glances for a while, Gu Tiansheng got out of bed and opened the door, letting Gu Nan in.

“Why did you come over at this hour?”

“I came to give you some local specialties I brought back from Yingpan Village, where we went this time.”

“Once someone gets married, they really become different.” Gu Tiansheng was very happy. She opened the bag and saw the American ginseng inside.

Like her wife, Gu Tiansheng would watch the livestream of the two of them on the variety show whenever she had free time.

But most of the time, she was busy, so most of the time she watched was concentrated at night. She had not seen the scene where they harvested American ginseng.

“Why did you buy so much? Is it all for us?”

Gu Tiansheng revealed a somewhat puzzled expression.

The main reason was that there was simply too much in this big bag. If it was only for their family to eat, how long would it take? They could not eat American ginseng as rice.

“I’m planning to send some to Zhibei’s dad, and some to her manager too.” At this point, Gu Nan tilted her head. “Should I send some to my manager too? Or maybe to my assistant?”

Gu Nan did not mention the relatives and friends she had talked about on the variety show at all.

At the time, she had only said it casually. Besides, she truly did not know what relatives and friends she had.

“You can talk to Brother Quan and ask him to help you handle it,” Gu Tiansheng suggested.

After talking about the local specialty gifts she had brought back, Gu Nan was ready to return to her room. But Mom, who had been standing quietly to the side listening to her conversation with Mother, stopped her.

“Don’t leave yet. First tell us, how is your relationship with Zhibei right now? You’ve also come into contact with Bai Rui. How do you feel about her?” Yin Yuehua asked the question she had just been discussing with Gu Tiansheng.

“My relationship with Zhibei is… pretty okay, I guess.” Gu Nan rubbed her nose. “As for Bai Rui? I feel like she really is a sea king. Of the people on our variety show, two have already been attracted to her. She also seems to be planning to target me.”

Gu Nan spoke very tactfully, but Gu Tiansheng and Yin Yuehua both understood what she meant.

Gu Tiansheng frowned tightly. “You have to hold steady. Don’t do anything you shouldn’t.”

“If I really had any thoughts about her, I wouldn’t say this.” Gu Nan blinked innocently.

“I’m just reminding you. You need to stay vigilant, especially since you and Bai Rui still have to spend a long time together on the variety show.” Yin Yuehua said, “Your Mother and I were just discussing the matter between you and Zhibei.”

“Bai Rui handles things very cleanly. Most matters are done by her lovers, and all the evidence we’ve collected points to those secret lovers of hers. The evidence that directly points to her involves only very small matters. Also, there’s another thing. That day, the day Zhibei was drugged, you said you felt something was strange. What kind of strange was it?”

Gu Nan hesitated for a moment before saying, “My memories from that time are very blurry. It was like I dripped something into the wine, but also like I simply carried an ordinary glass of red wine. My memory at that moment seemed to split into two completely different versions.”

Gu Tiansheng and Yin Yuehua both looked solemn.

Gu Tiansheng spoke again. “We did indeed discover that one of Bai Rui’s lovers bought hallucinogens—a prohibited drug that the country has explicitly banned, and that cannot even be bought domestically.”

“The effect of hallucinogens is that within five minutes after drinking it, a person’s behavior and memory can be artificially distorted through repeated verbal commands. If the body has a little resistance to the hallucinogen, the effect you just described can appear: the memory of the same moment seems to split into two versions. And that assistant of yours who was fired could indeed meet the conditions needed to use it.”

“If that was the case back then, then Bai Rui’s hands must still have both inducer and hallucinogen.”

Gu Nan nodded solemnly. “I’ll tell Zhibei about this.”

As the head of the household, Gu Tiansheng felt a little awkward thinking about what she needed to say to her daughter next, but she still said it. “I’m sorry, Nannan. Back then, your Mom and I hit you. Now it seems this matter…”

Yin Yuehua also said, “I’m sorry, Baby. At that time…”

Gu Nan’s eyes heated up, and tears nearly flowed down.

Yin Yuehua hugged Gu Nan. “I’m sorry. Although at the time we thought you might not necessarily have done that kind of thing, you couldn’t explain it clearly, and we couldn’t produce any evidence. To make Zhibei hate you a little less, we could only choose to beat you.”

Gu Nan buried her head in Yin Yuehua’s shoulder without speaking, wiping her tears onto Yin Yuehua’s clothes as revenge.

Back then, she had really wondered why she had to be beaten twice the moment she returned when she had clearly not done those things. She had even thought she might as well run away from home.

But after her anger passed, when she thought about it again, if she had been in her two mothers’ position and her own child might have drugged and forced someone, then for the sake of educating her child, perhaps she would have acted even more harshly than they had.

Although she had understood the reasoning, feeling wronged was still feeling wronged.

Gu Tiansheng also came over and hugged her wife and child. “In the future, we won’t disbelieve you again.”

Gu Nan hugged Yin Yuehua even tighter, using it to hide what she looked like right now.

For a moment, no one in the room spoke. There was only the faint sound of Gu Nan sniffling.

Knock, knock, knock.

At this moment, the bedroom door was knocked again. The butler, Uncle Quan’s voice came from outside. “Family Head, Madam, the white fungus and lotus seed dessert soup is ready.”

“Brother Quan, wait a moment.”

Gu Nan quickly turned her head and tidied up her face. Yin Yuehua also helped wipe away the golden beans that had fallen from her eyes.

Only after Gu Nan had cleaned herself up did Gu Tiansheng say loudly, “Come in.”

“Miss is here too.” Uncle Quan opened the door and smiled as he placed two bowls of white fungus and lotus seed dessert soup from the tray onto the bedside table.

“These two bowls are for Baby and Zhibei, right?” Yin Yuehua looked at the other two bowls of lotus seed soup on the butler’s tray. Her eyes turned, and she said, “Brother Quan, let Baby take them back herself. She can also bring Zhibei’s sugar-free bowl over. You can take the local specialties Baby brought back with you.”

The butler immediately understood Yin Yuehua’s intention and said, “All right, Madam.”

Gu Nan did not object. Before participating in this variety show, she definitely would have refused. But now, she felt her relationship with Shen Zhibei should count as pretty good, so sending over a bowl of lotus seed soup should not be a problem.

So she very naturally accepted the tray from Uncle Quan.

Gu Tiansheng and Yin Yuehua both saw the changes in Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei’s attitudes toward each other. This change made the smiles on the wife-wives’ faces widen quite a bit.

“Go find Zhibei. Remember to tell her too,” Gu Tiansheng said.

“Okay.”

Gu Nan carried the tray back to her own room first and placed down her own bowl of lotus seed soup. Only then did she see that the phone she had left in the room had almost been blown up by Lin Yue.

Gu Nan, who had just been saying she did not know what relatives and friends she had, immediately remembered this friend.

As she was thinking, the phone vibrated again. It was Lin Yue making another video call.

Gu Nan directly answered.

Before Gu Nan could speak, Lin Yue saw her and immediately asked three questions in a row.

“Where’s the American ginseng you said you’d give me on the show?”

“Beautiful women being close together really is pleasing to the eye. I really didn’t ship the wrong CP!”

“The Nanbei CP super topic has already exploded. Everyone is waiting for you or Shen Zhibei to notice them. Actually, I also wrote a little smut fic for your CP. Can you read it on the show too? I’ll tell you the title of the fic I wrote.”

“Wait.” Gu Nan quickly stopped her. “Why are you joining in and writing a little smut fic about me and Zhibei too? Don’t you think it’s weird to use your friend’s name to write this?”

“No.” Lin Yue chuckled. “Besides, when you read a little smut fic based on yourself, did you feel weird?”

“Mm.” Gu Nan was momentarily speechless.

She had not felt it was weird, exactly. It was just a little awkward.

Looking at Gu Nan’s expression, Lin Yue’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly gossiped, “I also respectfully read the fic you read. As you said, it really was very well written. It’s the kind of little smut fic where the writing is delicate, the plot is smooth and touching, and the meat is interwoven on top of that.”

Gu Nan unconsciously nodded.

Only after nodding did she belatedly react. Why was she nodding!

“The one I wrote is like that too. And I graduated with a major in language and literature, so my writing skills are guaranteed. Are you really sure you don’t want to read it?” Lin Yue tempted her. Then she said with a yearning expression, “It would be best if you could recommend it for me too. I really want to be in the spotlight. Right now, in the Nanbei CP circle, that author’s fic has already been enshrined as the treasure of the circle.”

“Don’t even think about it! I promised Zhibei I absolutely wouldn’t read any more.”

Lin Yue found the loophole in Gu Nan’s words. “Then does that mean if you hadn’t promised, you would read it? Then just forget about the sentence where you promised Shen Zhibei for a while.”

“Am I that kind of person? Besides, I have absolutely no interest in them!”

Gu Nan instantly hung up.

After finishing the call with Lin Yue, she felt like she was about to collapse. But when she touched the bowl containing the lotus seed soup, she felt that the white fungus and lotus seed dessert soup was no longer that hot.

So Gu Nan picked up the sugar-free bowl and went to Shen Zhibei’s room.

At this moment, Shen Zhibei was soaking in the bathtub, letting the hot water wash away her exhaustion from the past few days.

She had already calculated that her heat period would officially begin two days later.

Fortunately, she would not officially enter her heat period during the recording of the show. Otherwise, it really would have been troublesome.

Who would have thought that what was supposed to be a relaxing slow countryside variety show would suddenly turn into wilderness survival? Moreover, in this episode, they had probably already driven the chief director crazy. That made it even harder to know how the production team would entertain them in the next episode.

So, should she let Gu Nan give her a temporary mark? Otherwise, next episode would be very hard to endure.

Shen Zhibei thought left and right but still could not decide. Instead, because her heat period was drawing closer, she became more restless and heated all over.

She directly sank her entire body into the water for a good while. Only when she felt a faint sense of suffocation did she emerge from the water.

That slight suffocation finally helped her break away a little from that irritable feeling.

But she still could not make the final decision. She could only think like an ostrich: in any case, there were still two days. She would talk about it in two days.

Just then, rhythmic knocking sounded from the room door.

“Please wait a moment. I’ll be right out,” Shen Zhibei called loudly.

She had already gotten used to Uncle Quan bringing over soup, desserts, pastries, or fruit every night. And the soups and desserts he brought for her would always be sugar-free versions specially made by the kitchen.

Uncle Quan was a male Beta and could not smell pheromones, so Shen Zhibei only wiped the water droplets from her body, put on her pajamas, and went to open the door.

But when she opened the door, the person standing outside was not Uncle Quan. It was Gu Nan, holding a bowl.

Shen Zhibei, who had originally looked lazy, immediately changed expression when she saw Gu Nan standing at the door.

She remembered that because she had just bathed, she was not wearing a pheromone-suppressing patch.

The moment the door opened, Gu Nan immediately said, “When Uncle Quan brought the white fungus and lotus seed soup to Mother and Mom’s room, I happened to be there too, so they asked me to bring yours…”

Before she could finish speaking, she smelled a pleasant mint scent.

But that pleasant mint scent stimulated Gu Nan’s nerves, making her feel for the first time that her secondary sex characteristic was throbbing wildly.

The force of that throbbing seemed to be urging her to quickly go find the place releasing that pleasant mint scent.

The bowl in Gu Nan’s hand had already fallen to the floor. Her breathing also began to grow heavy, and her own pheromones began leaking.

“You…” Gu Nan’s grip on the doorframe was already so hard that veins bulged out. Her gaze had already begun moving involuntarily toward Shen Zhibei’s neck. “Do you have suppressants in your room?”

She really, really wanted to bite.

If she bit once, neither of them would have to feel so uncomfortable anymore.

Gu Nan’s remaining rationality told her that she should leave, but her feet did not move at all, as if they had taken root.

Because of Gu Nan’s leaking pheromones, Shen Zhibei was also almost unable to stand and could only lean against the doorframe.

She wanted to close the door, so the pheromones could be somewhat isolated and the two of them could calm down a little, but right now, she did not even have the strength to close it.

She had originally still been thinking about whether to get a temporary mark, yet less than an hour after thinking about it, she encountered this situation.

Perhaps even heaven wanted her to stop struggling over it.

“You…” Shen Zhibei said hoarsely, “Carry me inside.”

“Are you sure?” Gu Nan’s willpower began to teeter on the edge.

Shen Zhibei gritted her teeth. “Do you want me to say it a second time?”

This time, Gu Nan did not speak again. She directly scooped Shen Zhibei up in her arms, used her foot to close the door, and entered the room.

After placing Shen Zhibei on the bed, Gu Nan hugged her tightly. Her forehead pressed against Shen Zhibei’s neck as she deeply inhaled the mint scent coming from her gland.

“Only a temporary mark.” Shen Zhibei began to feel afraid. She clenched Gu Nan’s clothes tightly, and even her voice trembled slightly. “You’re not allowed to do anything else.”

“I know. I’ll just gently bite once,” Gu Nan coaxed.

Then Gu Nan’s slightly chapped lips pressed against Shen Zhibei’s gland.

Shen Zhibei shivered from the dry skin on Gu Nan’s lips. Before she could say anything, Gu Nan opened her mouth, and her canine teeth pierced the gland in an instant.

Pinewood-scented pheromones continuously poured into Shen Zhibei’s body.

Shen Zhibei began panting nonstop. Her head also started to feel dizzy, and her body gradually felt filled by pheromones.

No one knew how much time passed. With a long moan from Shen Zhibei, the temporary mark ended.

Shen Zhibei weakly closed her eyes, still panting softly.

Gu Nan, who recovered first, pulled out a few tissues and half-held Shen Zhibei as she helped wipe away her sweat. Her pheromones had also adjusted to a soothing nature, continuing to slowly calm Shen Zhibei.

Shen Zhibei, who had only just finished being temporarily marked, had broken out in sweat again.

When she woke from the intense stimulation and her consciousness was still somewhat floating, she already felt sticky and uncomfortable all over. She really wanted to shower again.

After the first temporary mark ended, Gu Nan was also very obedient and did not do anything else. This made Shen Zhibei feel much more at ease. But being carried to shower was still too intimate.

Shen Zhibei slowly opened her eyes and looked at Gu Nan, who was still half-holding her and steadily releasing soothing pheromones. Lowering her brows, she said, “You… go back to your room first.”

Gu Nan was first stunned, then could not help saying, “So this is what people call throwing someone away after using them.”

Shen Zhibei slapped Gu Nan in shame and anger. But because she was still in a weak state, this movement looked very much like flirting.

She also did not want Gu Nan to misunderstand, so she whispered, “I want to shower. My body feels sticky.”

“Cough, cough, cough.” Gu Nan coughed awkwardly twice. “So that’s it. Then do you need me to help you?”

Shen Zhibei’s face instantly flushed red.

You help? Help with what?

“No need. Hurry and go.” Shen Zhibei quickly began driving her away. “Also, in two days, I’ll officially enter my heat period. You…”

Shen Zhibei looked at her with watery eyes, soft and gentle, making Gu Nan feel her teeth start itching again.

Under these circumstances, Gu Nan did not dare stay any longer. She swiftly got off the bed and walked out.

“I know. I’ll come over again the night after tomorrow.”

After saying this, Gu Nan quickly left Shen Zhibei’s room.

Outside the room, the bowl that had fallen to the floor was already gone. Even the soup had been wiped clean.

Gu Nan stared blankly at the clean floor for a while before belatedly realizing something.

Uncle Quan definitely knew about this. Once Uncle Quan knew, her Mother and Mom knew too.

Gu Nan shivered, completely not daring to imagine what she and Shen Zhibei would face tomorrow morning.

Gu Nan tossed and turned that night, anxious and afraid.

Shen Zhibei also did not sleep well that night.

Logically speaking, without the early symptoms of heat, she should have easily slept well. But whenever she closed her eyes, her mind automatically jumped to the little smut fic she had seen on Gu Nan’s phone and tonight’s temporary mark.

This led to Shen Zhibei wearing light makeup at home for the first time the next morning, mainly to cover the heavy dark circles under her eyes.

She even deliberately went downstairs a little later, wanting to avoid the Gu wives’ mealtime.

In the end, she still failed to avoid them.

The moment Shen Zhibei went downstairs, she saw Gu Tiansheng, who had already finished eating and was sitting at the dining table reading documents, and Yin Yuehua, who was looking at her phone. Gu Nan, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen.

“Mother, Mom.”

Hearing Shen Zhibei’s voice, Yin Yuehua and Gu Tiansheng’s first reaction was to turn and look toward Shen Zhibei’s gland. Unfortunately, Shen Zhibei’s loose hair did not satisfy their wish.

“Zhibei, come eat quickly.” Yin Yuehua greeted her with a smile.

“Okay.” Shen Zhibei gathered her loose hair somewhat uncomfortably, always feeling like they seemed to have discovered her dark circles.

The Gu wives’ gazes followed Shen Zhibei’s movement of gathering her hair, constantly glancing toward her gland.

Then they finally saw the teeth mark there, unobscured by a pheromone-suppressing patch or skin-colored cover patch.

The two of them finally relaxed and began even more enthusiastically using serving chopsticks to pile food into Shen Zhibei’s bowl.

“That’s enough, really enough. I can’t eat that much.”

Just as Shen Zhibei was confusedly enjoying the loving feeding from the Gu wives, Gu Nan, who had dawdled in her room for ages, finally came downstairs.

She had also been thinking of avoiding her two mothers, but the moment she came downstairs, she saw the scene of the Gu wives lovingly feeding Shen Zhibei while Shen Zhibei struggled to refuse. She immediately wanted to retreat back to her room.

Gu Tiansheng’s eyes were sharp, and she saw Gu Nan, who was turning around to run, at once. “Nannan, come back!”

Seeing that she had been caught red-handed, Gu Nan could only walk to her seat and sit down. “Mother, Mom, morning.”

“It’s not early anymore. It’s already this time. Your Mom and I have to go to work soon.” Seeing that her wife was putting food in Shen Zhibei’s bowl, Gu Tiansheng began caring for her own daughter.

Immediately, Gu Nan’s bowl also started piling up.

She looked carefully and saw that her bowl was full of nourishing ingredients. Then she looked at Shen Zhibei’s bowl. Sure enough, it was the same.

Their mothers definitely knew about what happened last night.

Gu Nan felt slightly awkward, but thinking that her two mothers had not said anything, she hypnotized herself into believing they actually had not discovered it.

But when she turned her head, she saw Shen Zhibei’s hair sliding down as she lowered her head to eat, revealing the teeth mark on her gland.

How was she supposed to hypnotize herself now?

Gu Nan awkwardly turned her head again to look at her two mothers, only to discover that both of them had been paying attention to her movements.

Then, avoiding Shen Zhibei’s line of sight, they gave Gu Nan a thumbs-up.

Gu Nan: Thank you, now it’s even more awkward.
