The Wheelchair Scum Alpha Has Something to Say (GL) - Chapter 21
“What happened here?”
Chen Mengyi stood at the main entrance with her team of assistants. She was dressed in professional attire: a sharp white shirt, wide-legged beige trousers, beige high heels, and a jacket of the same color draped over her shoulders.
Although she was smiling, the smile didn’t reach her eyes. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, somewhat like a fox, but her unkind tone clearly told everyone around that she was not someone to be messed with.
Chen Mengyi did not step into the studio. The air inside had been polluted by the male celebrity, mixing the pheromones of Bai Yue and other Alphas, making it hell for Omegas. Many Omega actors instinctively moved away from the studio, closer to the main entrance.
At this moment, Chen Mengyi, who appeared like a divine savior, was seen as their rescuer.
The director was a Beta and hurriedly walked over when she saw Chen Mengyi: “Miss Chen!” She tried to explain, but Chen Mengyi raised her hand, signaling her to stop. Chen Mengyi looked at Bai Yue, seeing Bai Yue lift her head to look back at her.
Bai Yue’s forehead was slick with sweat, and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed as she struggled to suppress herself.
Bai Yue hadn’t been dominated by pheromones many times; Chen Mengyi only remembered a few instances, the most memorable being right after Bai Yue had turned into an adult. When an Alpha’s pheromones go berserk, there are only three ways to calm them down.
One, have a stronger Alpha who is better at controlling their pheromones suppress the other.
Two, have the Alpha’s already-marked Omega soothe them.
Three, knock them unconscious.
For Bai Yue, the first was unrealistic. Since Bai Yue scored 96 out of a perfect 100 on the Alpha rating, a score that stood above the crowd, where could she hastily find an Alpha capable of stably suppressing Bai Yue?
Two was also out. Although Chen Mengyi was Bai Yue’s fiancée in name, they were not engaged, and Bai Yue had never marked Chen Mengyi. Chen Mengyi’s pheromones would struggle to soothe Bai Yue.
That left only option three. Chen Mengyi spoke: “Mama Li.”
“I’m here.” Mama Li, who had been slacking off and disappearing after handing Bai Yue over to Wang Yao, stepped forward. Her face was also sweaty because she hadn’t done her job well—she hadn’t watched Bai Yue closely enough. Hearing Chen Mengyi call her name, she felt a sense of “the King of Hell calling my name.”
Mama Li stood next to Chen Mengyi, hearing Chen Mengyi say: “Mama Li, go knock Yueyue unconscious. Try not to hurt her.”
Mama Li’s expression changed, clearly meaning: “Huh? Me?” She felt a slight tingling on her scalp and could only say to Chen Mengyi: “Miss, I’m also an Alpha…” Not only was Mama Li an Alpha, but she was an ex-special forces soldier, which was why Bai Yue’s mothers hired her as Bai Yue’s personal maid.
“Inject yourself with a suppressant, an enhanced version.”
Chen Mengyi was completely unmoved by Mama Li’s excuse.
Suppressants were usually taken orally, but there was also the option of intravenous injection, which was much more potent and could completely block the effects of pheromones in a short time. However… the side effects were also severe. They wouldn’t cause long-term physical harm, but once the effect wore off, it would lead to dizziness, nausea, and a feeling that the world was spinning.
Mama Li knew she was at fault. Just as she was about to agree, she heard Chen Mengyi sigh: “Never mind, I’ll do it myself. Give me the suppressant.” Chen Mengyi extended her hand behind her. Her assistant team immediately produced a small carrying case. When opened, it revealed the injectable suppressants inside.
Chen Mengyi kept this prepared not to prevent her own pheromones from leaking, but because some fool might think they could rise to the top by marking Chen Mengyi. She carried it to prevent such people from getting close. If she encountered a genuine idiot, she could give them a shot.
She never expected to use it on herself.
Chen Mengyi was still smiling. She swiftly took out a syringe, injected herself, and after waiting for the drug to take effect, walked toward Bai Yue. Aside from the idiot who had kicked the steel plate and Wang Yao, no one else was nearby. Betas generally couldn’t smell pheromones, but with Bai Yue’s and the idiot’s pheromones raging so intensely, it was hard not to smell them.
Although they weren’t greatly affected by the pheromones, instinct still told them to stay far away.
Wang Yao stood there purely out of professionalism. As the assistant Chen Mengyi assigned to Bai Yue, she was dutifully standing her ground, refusing to leave, but she was frantic, like an ant on a hot pan, unsure what to do about the obviously distressed Bai Yue.
She crouched by the wheelchair, sweating profusely out of anxiety.
Chen Mengyi, in her high heels, approached the two. She looked down at Bai Yue and Wang Yao and gave Wang Yao a look. Wang Yao naturally moved away from Bai Yue a little. Chen Mengyi bent down and reached out her hand to Bai Yue.
Bai Yue, at this moment, was like an enraged young beast. If someone touched her, she might even bite their neck. Even with the suppressant, Chen Mengyi could smell the deep, ocean scent.
It seemed the suppressant wasn’t foolproof; she could still smell the scent even after injecting it. Or perhaps Bai Yue’s pheromone rank was too high for the suppressant to completely block. But the suppressant was working, as Chen Mengyi was not affected.
“Yueyue, can you hear me?” Although facing a volatile beast, Chen Mengyi still reached out and gently touched Bai Yue’s cheek. In that instant, she saw Bai Yue clearly try to bite her wrist. Bai Yue opened her mouth and then clamped it shut tightly.
She heard the sound of teeth clashing. Bai Yue bit her own mouth with considerable force.
“Mmm…” Bai Yue mumbled faintly. Chen Mengyi thought, Good, she can hear me.
She looked at Bai Yue, took the jacket from her shoulder, and draped it over Bai Yue. Her jacket was completely imbued with her scent. Surprisingly, Bai Yue’s mind cleared significantly after smelling that scent.
“Can you calm down?”
Bai Yue raised her head and looked at Chen Mengyi. Incredibly, after smelling Chen Mengyi’s scent, her uncontrollable, rapidly expanding pheromones, which were on the verge of breaking all restraints, actually calmed down a lot.
The raging pheromones, full of the sense of an impending storm, gradually subsided, as if the sun had broken through the clouds and fallen back upon the sea. She reached out toward Chen Mengyi. Her hands grabbed the sleeves of Chen Mengyi’s hands. Stretching her neck and lifting her head, Chen Mengyi moved a few steps closer to her due to her movement.
The scent of sage was closer to her. Bai Yue contentedly sniffed close to Chen Mengyi: “Mmm…”
Bai Yue seemed to have calmed down. Chen Mengyi slowly bent down and lifted Bai Yue into her arms.
Chen Mengyi carried Bai Yue with effortless ease, holding her effortlessly, without stumbling even in high heels. As she walked forward with Bai Yue, she passed the idiot who was limp on the floor.
Living up to Chen Mengyi’s nickname for him, the fool reached up and grabbed Chen Mengyi’s trouser leg. Chen Mengyi stopped, holding Bai Yue, and looked down at him. Chen Mengyi’s face was smiling, but it looked distinctly villainous: “Mister, I suggest you go to the hospital quickly.”
She put force into her step and moved forward, her other foot stepping on the fool as she passed. He let out a heart-wrenching shriek behind Chen Mengyi. Chen Mengyi only wished her high heel was sharper so she could have pinned his hand to the ground.
As Chen Mengyi carried Bai Yue, everyone along the way scattered, as if she wasn’t carrying a person but a bomb. In reality, it was similar; she felt like an unpredictable bomb to others.
Chen Mengyi walked in front, and Wang Yao, as a diligent assistant, quickly pushed Bai Yue’s wheelchair to follow. Mama Li and Chen Mengyi’s team of assistants also followed. The Beta assistants stayed closer, while those of other genders trailed far behind.
Chen Mengyi carried Bai Yue all the way to the parking lot. In the open air, a lot of Bai Yue’s pheromones had dissipated. But once inside the car, the pheromones were confined to the small cabin, becoming extraordinarily concentrated.
Chen Mengyi felt a heat creeping up the back of her neck. Although the driver was a Beta, it was hard to say what effect such concentrated pheromones might have on him. Chen Mengyi raised the partition between the front and back seats and told the driver to open the windows for ventilation.
This made the space she and Bai Yue occupied even narrower, permeated entirely by Bai Yue’s scent.
The driver slowly started the car. Chen Mengyi, however, felt as if she were immersed in a dense ocean. She bit the tip of her tongue to keep herself clear-headed. Bai Yue was placed on the back seat, lying down, her head resting on Chen Mengyi’s shoulder.
Bai Yue’s teeth were constantly making a grinding sound. It was obvious her teeth must be itching terribly.
Chen Mengyi took out her phone and called Bai Yue’s doctor, asking her to wait at home.
She keenly saw Bai Yue open her mouth and stuff her own hand inside. She knew Bai Yue would bite her own hand to relieve the itching. While talking to the doctor, Chen Mengyi used her other hand to gently cup Bai Yue’s mouth: “Yueyue, you can’t bite yourself.”
Bai Yue shifted her body. She turned her head, looking up at Chen Mengyi. Her eyes were moist, and her voice was light, like a small animal: “But it hurts so much…”
Chen Mengyi gave the doctor a final instruction to hurry and hung up the phone. Her free hand went to Bai Yue’s mouth, and she reached out to gently touch her canine tooth.
Logically, Bai Yue, having suppressed herself to this extent, must have had incredibly itchy teeth and genuinely wanted to grab something to chew. But even with Chen Mengyi’s hand near her teeth, Bai Yue firmly refused to bite down.
Chen Mengyi released her grip on Bai Yue’s mouth and reached out to brush away the hair on her forehead, which was damp with sweat.
“You idiot.”
