After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, I Became the Female Lead's White Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 14

Chi Huan’s injuries, though looking terrible, were mostly superficial wounds. After half a month of honest rest, they were almost completely healed.

On the day of her discharge, Chi Huan instructed the driver to take the car back to “Chi Huan’s” external residence—the luxurious duplex apartment in the city center.

—Nonsense, I forcibly accelerated the plot. If I don’t move in soon, I might not get the chance!

Harboring beautiful hope, Chi Huan was in soaring spirits.

She controlled the impulse to look outside, leaning back in the seat with forced emptiness, loneliness, and coldness plastered across her face. If she put a cigarette in her mouth, she could easily be cast as a triad boss’s… underling.

She held the pose for a while, feeling like something was missing. She subtly looked around and realized with a start—Zhao Shu hadn’t commented on her with her eyes!

In the past, Zhao Shu’s eyes would have been twitching, her mouth corners twitching, and her brows furrowed into knots. Yet now, she didn’t even spare her a glance.

Unused to not being judged, Chi Huan actually felt uneasy. She poked Zhao Shu with her hand, “Little Zhao Zhao, what are you thinking about?”

“…” Zhao Shu suddenly snapped back to reality, nearly jumping up, “Uh… what?”

Chi Huan said: “I’m asking you. What could be so engrossing that it occupies your mind when you’re beside a peerless beauty like your master, me?”

The unnatural look on Zhao Shu’s face vanished, and her mouth twitched: “Nothing.”

Everyone has their secrets. Chi Huan had just asked casually. If Zhao Shu didn’t want to say, so be it. “Right, when is my mother returning from her business trip?”

“President Chi, how would I know Chairwoman Rong’s itinerary?” Zhao Shu said with a wry smile. “If you want to know, couldn’t you just call and ask?”

“Absolutely not!” Chi Huan said decisively. “We are in a cold war, and I will never be the one to back down first!”

Zhao Shu habitually advised: “You’re mother and daughter; there’s no such thing as a grudge that lasts overnight…”

“I’m a grown woman. She grounds me when she wants, and takes my phone when she wants. Don’t I deserve to save face?” Chi Huan turned her head away huffily.

Only a fool would willingly contact Rong Qing. She’d be ecstatic if Rong Qing came back later.

Living under the same roof every day—what if she’s exposed?

Zhao Shu controlled the impulse to roll her eyes and advised her nicely for a few minutes. Seeing Chi Huan wouldn’t listen, she gave up.

The evening traffic was heavy. No matter how expensive their car was or how skilled the driver was, they couldn’t move through the dense traffic freely.

They happened to pass a commercial district. Looking out the car window, brilliant lights were everywhere.

There was even an “artificial forest” set up along the street—a layer of emerald green carpet, white-painted steel frames forming a canopy, decorated with vines, flowers, and fairy lights.

In short, every inch of air exuded an artistic, pretentious vibe.

Merchants set up small stands in this forest, selling pottery, books, small decorative items… Some were even drawing portraits on the spot.

Chi Huan watched with interest.

The car moved slowly. Just as they were about to drive past this “forest,” a somewhat familiar face abruptly entered her field of vision.

—It wasn’t surprising that Chi Huan spotted her in the crowd. The person was simply too striking.

It was a young girl wearing a black knee-length dress. Her movements carried a very unique elegance. Standing there, she somehow elevated the entire atmosphere of the bustling street.

She seemed to have seen something interesting, smiling as she turned her head slightly toward their direction.

Chi Huan clearly saw her face.

With perfectly shaped brows and bright, flowing eyes, her face was extremely delicate and beautiful.

This should have been a warm and friendly appearance, but a hint of chilliness permeated her features. Her moving eyes conveyed detachment, making people hesitate to approach her casually.

Like pine, like bamboo, like jade, like a carving.

However, it wasn’t her temperament that drew Chi Huan’s attention, but her face.

It was a face strikingly similar to Lu You’s.

Or rather, Lu You looked like her.

—Mu Yi.

The name popped into Chi Huan’s head the instant she recognized the face.

But wasn’t Mu Yi studying abroad? Why was she appearing on a domestic commercial street?

According to the plot, she should be playing a supporting role for at least ten more chapters!

Chi Huan furrowed her brow in confusion.

Zhao Shu asked curiously: “President Chi, what are you looking at?”

This area was always lively. Zhao Shu glanced around but saw nothing unusual.

She was actually keeping a secret—Rong Qing had planned to bring Mu Yi back to distract Chi Huan, but upon investigating, she found that Mu Yi seemed to have taken a new Omega lover abroad.

Chi Huan’s love for Mu Yi was no secret in Rongcheng’s high society. The Chi and Mu families had numerous business partnerships and close social ties. The parents had even made a verbal engagement, and everyone believed Chi Huan would marry Mu Yi.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yi left the country silently a few years ago, and Chi Huan found a new lover, which slightly reduced the communication between the two families.

But even so, no one doubted Chi Huan’s feelings for Mu Yi.

Now… Zhao Shu dreaded to think what would happen if Chi Huan learned that Mu Yi had transferred her affection to another person… an Omega…

Hiss… the scene would be terrifying!

The thought of the potential chaos made Zhao Shu shiver.

Besides, even apart from that, she had to consider Rong Qing.

Rong Qing had issued a strict order that Chi Huan absolutely must not know the truth until the matter was resolved.

At this critical moment, Chi Huan not speaking to her was a blessing. She shouldn’t be praying for Chi Huan not to notice her, but she absolutely couldn’t initiate conversation!

Zhao Shu immediately regretted opening her mouth. What if she accidentally says the wrong thing and reveals everything?

Chi Huan, however, didn’t notice her. After thinking for a while, she had a sudden realization. She abruptly slapped the seat, making the already nervous Zhao Shu jump.

“I get it! This jerk is here to steal the show!”

Chi Huan was absorbed in her own world, analyzing logically—

During the month of her recovery, the System was unusually quiet, only sending a message saying, “Progress is ahead of schedule, maintenance is required,” and then staying silent.

In the days without missions, the sky was blue, the water was sweet, and the air wasn’t filled with PM2.5 but with spiritual energy left over from the Age of Magic!

In short, she was having a great time.

But thinking about it calmly now, if her plot line moved faster, wouldn’t the subsequent plot move faster as well?

This might be the reason Mu Yi returned home early!

Crucially—if the plot advances, her final curtain call advances too!

Her sudden outburst almost gave Zhao Shu a nervous breakdown. Zhao Shu weakly managed a single word: “Huh?”

Chi Huan was completely serious: “Look—”

Mu Yi’s physique and appearance were superior, making her stand out in the crowd. One might not notice her immediately, but Chi Huan’s pointing finger was unmistakable. Zhao Shu… couldn’t pretend not to see.

Zhao Shu, who was focused on concealing all information about Mu Yi: “…………”

Chi Huan pointed at the distant Mu Yi, annoyed: “Isn’t she studying abroad?”

Zhao Shu stammered twice but didn’t speak.

Before Chi Huan could voice her speculation, the crowd surrounding Mu Yi scattered, revealing a flash of vibrant red.

It turned out to be a small stand for drawing portrait caricatures on the street.

A girl in a red dress took her portrait, stood up from the stool, walked through the crowd, and enthusiastically threw herself into Mu Yi’s arms.

Mu Yi lowered her head and stroked the girl’s hair, spoke a few soft words, naturally took her hand, and interlocked their fingers. They walked through the crowd and quickly disappeared into the dense sea of people.

Zhao Shu, who had just reaffirmed her goal, assuring herself that Chi Huan knowing about Mu Yi’s return wasn’t important as long as she didn’t know about Mu Yi’s change of heart: “…………….”

She was convinced: Chi Huan and Mu Yi were a bad match for her fate.

Chi Huan was dumbfounded.

A burst of unnameable anger ignited in her heart.

“She…” Chi Huan’s hands were trembling with rage. “She actually… the unfaithful woman!”

Zhao Shu gave a forced, dry laugh and rambled: “President Chi, don’t be angry. Maybe it’s a misunderstanding…”

“What kind of misunderstanding can push an Omega into her arms!”

Omega? Right, Omega! Zhao Shu gathered her composure: “Don’t be afraid, President Chi. OO love has no future…”

But Mu Yi is actually an Alpha! Chi Huan knew this clearly but couldn’t say it aloud. Still, she felt her intense anger had nowhere to go: “How can she face Lu You!”

As the words left her mouth, Chi Huan was startled. She had been so focused on not revealing Mu Yi’s true gender that she blurted out the subsequent plot detail!

Mu Yi and Lu You didn’t even know each other yet!

Zhao Shu had question marks all over her head: “Miss Lu??”

Chi Huan scrambled to cover up: “I was just angry. I meant to say, how can she face me! I broke up with Lu You for her, and here she is, having more fun outside than anyone!”

Zhao Shu didn’t notice anything amiss. She offered more soothing words but felt incredibly weary inside, feeling like a nanny helping her boss raise a child.

Chi Huan stared intently at the two figures outside the car window, puffed up like a pufferfish with anger.

Lu You’s official partner, the one she will spend her life with in the future… what is she doing right now? Being intimate with someone else?

How can Mu Yi? How dare she?

…Wait, Mu Yi doesn’t know Lu You yet. Maybe she’s just an ex-girlfriend or something.

Chi Huan tried desperately to convince herself, but her tightly clenched fists didn’t relax at all.

She saw clearly—the look in Mu Yi’s eyes when she looked down at that girl was gentle and affectionate. She obviously liked her immensely!

Damn it, I did so much to keep Lu You away from ‘Chi Huan,’ enduring the name of Scumbag Alpha and being scolded… all just to hand Lu You over to a person like this?

Someone whose heart belongs to another?

【What’s going on?】 The System, silent for so long, was also surprised by this scene.

Chi Huan raked her hand through her hair, annoyed: “You’re asking me?”

【Who is that? That’s impossible…】

Chi Huan asked: “I skipped a lot of parts when I read the book, and I can’t recall some of the plot details. Can you confirm for me whether Mu Yi had a girlfriend while she was studying abroad?”

The System answered without hesitation: 【No!】

Before Chi Huan could question it, it explained: 【Mu Yi is set to be pure—her body and soul belong only to the female lead, Lu You. Plus, her personality is very cold. Even ‘Chi Huan,’ who grew up with her, she only sees as a childhood playmate. No one else can get close to her!】

Chi Huan said: “Then who was that just now? Don’t tell me that was Lu You. Did Lu You get plastic surgery in just one month?”

The System said: 【It’s not Lu You. I can sense the female lead’s coordinates. She is currently in the neighboring province, tens of thousands of miles away from here. It couldn’t be her.】

“Then can you check that person’s information?”

【Host, please wait. Let me check the backend… What’s going on? She’s not in the backend either. This person has no information? How is that possible?】

As long as a character was written into the book, the System could query them. Even trivial things like the specific time a street dog defecated on a certain date could be found. How could a living, breathing person have no information?

If even the System couldn’t find anything…

Chi Huan cautiously guessed: “Did you have a bug?!”

【Impossible.】

Right. It just came back from maintenance. If it had a bug in less than a month, that shabby factory should just close down.

Always think positively!

Chi Huan pondered for a while, and her eyes lit up: “Could Mu Yi be possessed by a ghost?”
