After Transmigrating into a Scumbag Alpha, the Female Lead Can Read My Mind (GL) - Chapter 5
The sound of the inhibitor box dropping to the floor was muffled, yet exceptionally clear in the silent room.
Jiang Beiwang’s gaze fell upon it.
She lowered her eyes, her long lashes concealing the emotions within, making her expression unreadable.
Though the beginning was a bit rough, from this moment on, this part of the plot was finally about to begin!
Briefly recalling the storyline, Jiang Beiwang forced a smile.
The emotionless, light chuckle essential for a scumbag Alpha doing bad deeds.
Just as her expression was in place and she was about to move to the next part, Jiang Beiwang suddenly fell into thought.
With the item on the floor, should she reach down and pick it up, or simply step on it and crush it, or make Yu Dong pick it up, then snatch it and smash it?
The plot only stated that the scumbag Alpha smashed the inhibitor; she hadn’t paid too much attention when she read it.
Now that it was her turn, she realized the plot never specified whether the scumbag Alpha picked it up herself or made Yu Dong pick it up.
[For areas not covered by the plot, Host, please use your own discretion.] The system promptly reminded her.
“Use your own discretion,” it said.
Jiang Beiwang looked at the inhibitor less than two meters away, then at the female lead, who was looking at her, confused.
[Reaching down to pick it up directly doesn’t seem to fit my scumbag Alpha image.]
[Crushing it with my foot through the box might not be as easy as smashing it. If I can’t crush it in one go, that would be even more embarrassing.]
She needed to make a decision quickly.
But which one should she choose?
Yu Dong, who was unclear what Jiang Beiwang intended to do with her inhibitor, had a guess after hearing Jiang Beiwang’s inner thoughts.
Jiang Beiwang didn’t want her to use this inhibitor.
As for why…
Yu Dong had always known that her usual inhibitor wasn’t good. After using it, her gland would feel slightly warm and numb, likely a mild allergic reaction.
What good thing would someone who couldn’t wait to kick her out, even before she’d secured a position in the Jiang family, give her?
While she still barely retained a shred of clarity, Yu Dong reached out and picked up the inhibitor while Jiang Beiwang was hesitating.
If Jiang Beiwang wanted to use it, she’d just hand it over, right?
[Did I see that right? The female lead actually picked up the inhibitor herself.]
Jiang Beiwang, still unable to choose between reaching down to pick it up or crushing it with her foot, shed tears of gratitude.
She didn’t have to choose anymore.
[What a kind, generous, gentle, and thoughtful female lead. After all I’ve done to her, she’s still so good, even handing it to me herself.]
So Jiang Beiwang started to waver again.
[Will what’s about to happen scare her?]
[I have to do this to such a good female lead.]
[It’s utterly inhumane.]
Perhaps to make it easier for Jiang Beiwang to take, Yu Dong only held a small corner of the box.
Jiang Beiwang let her smile fade, mentally cursing herself, and used her fingers to open the box, taking out the only three remaining inhibitors.
The liquid inside looked somewhat grayish. Jiang Beiwang shook the liquid, “You use this kind of trash?”
Even though she’d seen inhibitors only a handful of times, she could tell this one was clearly of very poor quality.
Let alone its effect on suppressing estrus, it would be good if it didn’t cause problems.
Jiang Beiwang broke one of them in the middle. With her current physique, breaking an inhibitor was effortless.
The gray liquid flowed down her palm, dripping onto the ground to form a small puddle.
Not only was the liquid grayish and seemingly past its expiration date, but even its scent was slightly pungent.
“This kind of shoddy stuff shouldn’t appear in the Jiang family. If you want to use it, get out and use it,” Jiang Beiwang said.
Given that Yu Dong had personally picked up the inhibitor just now, Jiang Beiwang was afraid that smashing it would frighten Yu Dong, so she temporarily changed her plan to simply breaking all the inhibitors.
The end result was the same, and the system wouldn’t say anything, but the sound of breaking them wouldn’t be as loud.
Repeating the exact same action several times, after breaking all the remaining inhibitors, Jiang Beiwang casually tossed them into a trash can three meters away from her.
[Almost missed, that was close.]
[If I missed, I wouldn’t be able to keep up the act.]
[Next time I should put the trash can closer. The risk of missing from this far is too great.]
Jiang Beiwang wiped the inhibitor liquid from her hands and paused when she reached the door.
On the floor in front of the door lay the shattered pieces of the cup.
The one she had knocked over.
This plot point was where the scumbag Alpha made the female lead, who had no inhibitor, piece together the cup while enduring her estrus.
Jiang Beiwang kicked the more intact base of the cup, hearing the sound of the broken main body rolling. “This cup is my favorite. Please go to the room next door and piece it back together.”
The cups were all the same. The scumbag Alpha wouldn’t bat an eye if dozens broke.
That’s why she was a scumbag Alpha; she loved pulling stunts like this, finding an excuse to waste someone’s entire day.
“Don’t come out until it’s pieced back together,” Jiang Beiwang added before leaving.
[But I prepared small biscuits and bread for you inside, find them yourself, okay?]
[There’s also fruit and strawberry juice. Take whatever you want to eat.]
Yu Dong stood in place and touched the gland on the back of her neck. Previously, her stepmother would regularly send her inhibitors. Now that she was at the Jiang family home, her stepmother’s things couldn’t reach her here.
They couldn’t reach here, and she was still restricted.
For a short time, she would just have to endure her estrus period.
Yu Dong felt it was time for her to find some better inhibitors. After using that inferior one for so long, even the scent of her pheromones had faded considerably.
The cup shattered very evenly because Jiang Beiwang had intentionally controlled the direction of its fall. Fewer broken pieces would also be easier to put together.
Jiang Beiwang, after circling the kitchen and finding no other breakfast, returned to her room.
…or rather, the room next door.
This room had a glass panel on the door, allowing one to see inside.
It was, of course, custom-made by Jiang Beiwang. This room used to be completely sealed off, and the reason the scumbag Alpha chose it was almost to use it as a dark room.
After a few days under Jiang Beiwang’s care, this room had two new windows, both with excellent views, making it very pleasant when the wind blew through.
A set of tables and chairs, some ornaments and decorations, and even picture frames had been added.
Simple and bright.
A stark contrast to the words “dark room.”
Jiang Beiwang only showed her eyes as she looked inside, seeing Yu Dong sitting at the table, carefully applying glue to the broken pieces of the cup.
[Why isn’t she looking towards the window? Did I hide it too well?]
[The small biscuits, bread, and fruit haven’t been touched either. Isn’t she hungry?]
[She can just stick it together however. The scumbag Alpha won’t even check anyway. She’s being bullied and still so serious, it’s so touching.]
Her attention distracted, Yu Dong’s hand paused.
The glass slipped from her hand, brushing against her knuckles as it fell, leaving a mark before landing on the table and wobbling twice.
Jiang Beiwang couldn’t see clearly, but she felt as if the glass had cut the female lead’s hand.
[Indeed, such dangerous broken glass shouldn’t be touched by hand, my poor female lead.]
[Quickly, look by the window. Just in case, I prepared a small first-aid kit there. I didn’t expect it to actually come in handy.]
[I’m heartbroken. My female lead’s beautiful hand is injured like this. It’s all my fault, boo hoo.]
Yu Dong clearly felt the gaze from behind her become hotter than before, and even the volume of the inner thoughts she heard increased by several notches.
She had a premonition that if she didn’t go to the window soon, Jiang Beiwang would burst through the door and drag her there herself.
Yu Dong put down the things in her hands.
What exactly was by the window?
