After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, the Female Lead Can Read My Mind (GL) - Chapter 10

Jiang Beiwang paused slightly as she got out of bed.

“Miss He” must refer to He Li.

He Li and Yu Dong came back together?

That didn’t seem normal at all. Plus, Yu Dong had been out for three or four hours before returning. Jiang Beiwang had a bad feeling.

She even double-checked as she walked out of her room.

“Are you sure it was He Li and Yu Dong who came back together? You didn’t mistake them?”

The servant nodded. “Yes, Miss. Miss Yu and Miss He returned together.”

Strange.

Shouldn’t Yu Dong have come back with the “good A,” Jian Feng?

As a “good A,” wouldn’t he even walk her to the door?

Jiang Beiwang strode downstairs. As soon as she reached the bottom, she saw He Li sprawled on the sofa, while Yu Dong stood beside her, holding a large bag.

Seeing Jiang Beiwang, He Li immediately jumped up from the sofa as if she’d seen a savior, rushing to her side to complain.

“She’s really tough. She walked for two and a half hours, and I followed her for just as long. I’m tough too!”

Jiang Beiwang organized her thoughts. “Are you saying you walked back?”

“Yes!” He Li exclaimed.

Originally, she was just following behind. But after walking almost half the way, she genuinely couldn’t walk anymore.

Although their He family didn’t have the status of the Jiang family, she had been pampered since childhood and never experienced much hardship.

He Li had never walked this far in her entire life.

And He Li felt like a thief, following behind Yu Dong.

It was already exhausting just walking that long, and she also had to be careful not to be discovered by Yu Dong, sneaking along behind her.

Finally, she couldn’t walk anymore and used her last bit of strength to catch up to Yu Dong, asking her, “Where exactly are you going?”

He Li had considered that Yu Dong might be going to see someone, or returning to the Yu family, and even thought of possibilities like her being sick and walking to the hospital alone.

Then Yu Dong calmly said, “The Jiang family.”

The Jiang family had so many cars; she could have called any one of them to return.

This person insisted on walking for most of the day.

He Li immediately felt like swearing. She called her driver to come and practically dragged Yu Dong into the He family’s car.

She had followed for half the day, waiting to see where the person was going to report to Jiang Beiwang, only for her to say she was going back to the Jiang family.

Did she really need to follow the person all the way back to the Jiang family, just to report to Jiang Beiwang that Yu Dong walked for most of the day, and her destination was actually the Jiang family?

Absolutely no need!

So He Li immediately decided to take the car.

After telling the driver “To the Jiang family,” she nearly collapsed from exhaustion in the car.

Jiang Beiwang briefly consoled He Li, then brought up the next question that had been on her mind. “Didn’t you see Jian Feng?”

“Jian Feng?” He Li thought for a moment. “I did see Yu Dong talking to someone for a couple of sentences, and then Yu Dong left.”

Yu Dong didn’t get into Jian Feng’s car.

Jiang Beiwang nodded, instructed the servant to prepare a guest room for He Li, then dragged Yu Dong upstairs.

Passing her own room, Jiang Beiwang paused, remembering that she had made the room a bit messy while waiting for Yu Dong to return.

So, she wouldn’t go to her room for now.

She pulled Yu Dong into the room she had prepared for Yu Dong.

Yu Dong’s room was quite empty. Bound by her character persona, Jiang Beiwang hadn’t managed this room much; everything inside was arranged by the servants.

Only a bottle of ointment on the table was placed there by her just now.

Okay, now she needed to figure out the next steps.

The “good A” who was supposed to have a romantic storyline with the female lead, for some unknown reason, didn’t perform the crucial plot point of “sending the female lead home.”

No, the plot isn’t the important issue right now.

The issue is that the female lead sprained her ankle and then walked for over two hours in the cold wind. If He Li hadn’t jumped in and taken the car back with Yu Dong, who knows how much longer she would have walked.

Having already sprained her ankle and then walked such a long distance, Jiang Beiwang didn’t need to think twice to know it must be worse.

First, apply the medicine, and then she can’t move around freely for the next few days.

But here’s the problem: as a scumbag Alpha, how can she naturally apply medicine to the pitiful Yu Dong?

If she just applies the medicine directly, her system would undoubtedly explode with a series of warnings.

From Yu Dong’s perspective, Jiang Beiwang’s dark eyes were devoid of any emotion, and her entire being exuded an indescribable gloom and sullenness.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely silent.

Yu Dong looked at the taciturn Jiang Beiwang, who was looking down, wondering what she was thinking.

She didn’t know what she had done wrong. Although she couldn’t see anything unusual on Jiang Beiwang’s face.

But Yu Dong could just feel that Jiang Beiwang now was stranger than she had been at the banquet.

Furthermore, she hadn’t heard Jiang Beiwang’s inner thoughts at all.

Yu Dong’s unease deepened.

Was it because she took He Li’s car? Or because she came back too late?

The system looked at the [Mute] option on its panel and fell into contemplation.

When did this feature appear?

It tentatively pressed it and waited a few minutes, finding that no special reaction seemed to occur.

But by all accounts, a function that could appear here should be very useful.

Yu Dong, unable to hear Jiang Beiwang’s inner thoughts, was visibly flustered.

She didn’t know what to do now to make Jiang Beiwang’s mood better.

Yu Dong realized now that if she couldn’t hear Jiang Beiwang’s inner thoughts.

She would be very scared.

It was like being completely engulfed in lightless darkness, unable to clearly see Jiang Beiwang’s figure, and even her own figure gradually blurring.

She had become somewhat accustomed to fierce words being followed by gentle inner thoughts.

Jiang Beiwang’s outward expressions and her inner thoughts were completely different. If she couldn’t hear the inner thoughts, she would lose her judgment of those words.

“Did I do something wrong?” Yu Dong’s voice was very soft. “If I did something wrong, can you tell me? I’ll change it.”

Jiang Beiwang’s breath hitched.

Yu Dong’s hand clutched the corner of her dress, as if afraid of being disliked by her, only daring to grasp a tiny bit, yet stiffly unwilling to let go.

How to put it?

She was a little different from her usual self.

What’s going on, what’s going on?

She didn’t seem like this when she first came back. What happened?

Jiang Beiwang thought for a moment, then decided Yu Dong must be exhausted from walking back, and now she had to stand there with her.

It was all because she had hesitated for too long.

But no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t come up with a solution instantly.

Jiang Beiwang pushed Yu Dong towards the bed, pressing on her shoulders to make her sit down.

The bed in Yu Dong’s room was clearly not as soft as the one in her own room. Jiang Beiwang sighed silently. This mission was truly difficult.

She wanted to arrange all the best things for Yu Dong, but also had to maintain her scumbag Alpha persona.

She had originally thought it would be a simple matter of being a villain, but she didn’t expect to suffer from a double dose of spiritual and moral guilt.

As she was pressed to sit on the edge of the bed, Yu Dong looked up at Jiang Beiwang, who stood before her.

Since her dress corner was still clutched, Jiang Beiwang couldn’t move to the side and could only stand in front of Yu Dong.

With both hands braced on the bedside, Jiang Beiwang leaned in, their noses almost touching.

“Want to know what you did wrong?”

“Yes.” Surrounded by the Alpha’s overflowing pheromones, Yu Dong uncomfortably wanted to escape, but she was almost entirely encircled by Jiang Beiwang, with nowhere to hide.

Yu Dong was a bit dazed but still tried hard to keep her consciousness from drifting away. “Can you… tell me?”

Jiang Beiwang let out a light laugh. “Your very existence is the biggest mistake.”

“Do you know what everyone else says about you?”

Jiang Beiwang felt an impression that Yu Dong’s state wasn’t very good this time. She couldn’t tell if it was her imagination.

Before, she had said these scumbag Alpha lines many times, and Yu Dong’s emotions never changed, as if silently enduring, patiently waiting for an opportunity to turn things around in one fell swoop.

But now.

Yu Dong clutched her dress even tighter, appearing extremely anxious and flustered, completely unlike her usual calm self.

Did she step on Yu Dong’s sore spot?

Jiang Beiwang looked down; she was only stepping on the floor.

At the same time, the system, which hadn’t seen the effect of the [Mute] function, silently turned it off.

After several minutes of research, the system decided to put this aside for now and focus on monitoring the host.

To prevent the host from making any character-breaking moves.

A troublesome host, and a strange function.

System life is so tiring.

Managing the host was already exhausting enough, and now there was an extra function that even it, as a system, couldn’t understand. It was simply an insult to its system dignity.

[Her ankle is all red. It must have hurt especially badly walking all the way back.]

[Maybe it’s better to let Yu Dong carry some cash so she can at least take a car back.]

Jiang Beiwang’s gaze moved from Yu Dong’s ankle to the bottle of medicine on the nearby table.

[Let’s put aside these extraneous thoughts for now. Applying the medicine is the most important thing.]

After hearing Jiang Beiwang’s inner thoughts again, Yu Dong gradually calmed down.

Once calm, the pain from her ankle became more noticeable, making her entire leg stiff and hot with pain.

Jiang Beiwang tossed the medicine from the table to Yu Dong. “Some nosy servant must have left this here. It’s yours now.”

[Wait, there seems to be a loophole in that sentence.]

[Servants don’t have precognition. Before Yu Dong returned, only one person knew Yu Dong would need this medicine.]

That person was Jiang Beiwang herself.

Fortunately, Yu Dong didn’t seem suspicious, probably still processing.

Jiang Beiwang didn’t dare to linger, making a quick escape.

[This time, I can’t apply the medicine for you. Just make do for now. I’ll call a gentle servant later.]

“After such a mess, I don’t want to see you for the next few days,” Jiang Beiwang declared before leaving.

[If she’s smart, she should use this ankle injury to stay in bed for a few days.]

She was just afraid that even in this state, Yu Dong would still insist on doing trivial things around the Jiang family.

After standing by the door for a while, Jiang Beiwang stopped a passing servant and specifically instructed them to apply the medicine gently and to strongly advise Yu Dong not to get out of bed and walk around for the next few days.

After giving her instructions, she also took out some small pastries she had quietly taken from other servants and told the servant to bring them in.

She remembered this servant; they were usually meticulous in their work, clean and efficient, and most importantly, they didn’t gossip.

Very reliable.

She hadn’t stopped the few servants who passed by earlier, just waiting for this one to come.

The servant pushed open the door to Yu Dong’s room.

“Miss Yu, our Miss specifically instructed me to apply medicine for you.”

Before she could finish, the person had already disappeared from the doorway of the room.

Jiang Beiwang gave her a displeased look. “Didn’t I tell you not to mention my name?”

“I’m sorry, Miss. Please let me try again,” the servant apologized sincerely, as if it had truly just been a mistake.

The door hadn’t had time to close, so Jiang Beiwang could only wave her back inside.

“Miss Yu, I have been instructed to apply medicine for you.”

Jiang Beiwang: “…”

She really didn’t mention her.

But there was no difference from having mentioned her.

The servant in the room gave her a smile, then closed the room door.

“Miss Yu, our Miss also asked me to bring you some pastries,” the servant said, placing the pastries on the table.

“You must be hungry after walking all the way back. Miss He told me everything. Our Miss is also very concerned about you.”

So, she had just come from He Li.

Jiang Beiwang looked up at the sky in exasperation.

She had forgotten that He Li, the scumbag friend beside the original owner, was someone who couldn’t keep anything a secret.
