After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 147: Bo Jingmo... Has That Woman’s Scent on Him
Looking at Steward Wang who had collapsed on the ground, Mary frowned and crouched down to check his breath.
Sensing he was still breathing, she let out a barely audible sigh of relief.
Beside her, Shen Youyou tossed away the metal rod in her hand. The look in her eyes was unreadable: “Aunt Mary, I told you he wouldn’t die. You didn’t believe me?”
At those words, a trace of mockery flickered across Mary’s face. Believe?
“No. It’s just that I’ve worked with Steward Wang for many years. It’s only natural I care a little more.”
As she spoke, she stood up and glanced at Shen Youyou, her tone indifferent, “So, if you’re planning to drink—”
Crack— The sound of a branch snapping came from around the corner.
Mary’s voice cut off abruptly. She whipped her head around. “Who’s there!?”
Shen Youyou also turned sharply toward the noise, her gaze turning fierce. Her pupils faintly shifted into a blood-red hue, and a flicker of killing intent flashed in her eyes.
But the moment she saw who it was, she froze. The redness in her eyes was quickly replaced with panic, returning to their normal black, and then lit up with surprise. “Xixi!!?”
Jiang Xi stepped out from around the corner. Her first glance went to Steward Wang lying on the ground, then quickly shifted back to Shen Youyou. She rushed forward, speaking anxiously: “Are you okay, Youyou?”
She grabbed Shen Youyou’s arm and looked her up and down repeatedly. “We couldn’t find you anywhere. Everyone said you were sick. What’s really going on?”
Yi Xian also hurried over. “Yeah, your stepmother said yesterday that you’d be at the banquet, but we didn’t see you at all. And your stepmother... she’s really strange.”
At that, Shen Youyou lowered her eyes, concealing the emotion within. “That woman… she’s not even my stepmother.”
She suddenly clenched her fists and spoke through gritted teeth, “She’s not even human.”
“What?” Jiang Xi blinked, feigning confusion. “Not human?”
Shen Youyou raised her head, her dark pupils locking onto Jiang Xi’s eyes, and said slowly, word by word: “Yes. She’s a vampire.”
“She bewitched my father and just moved into our home like it was nothing. Then she charmed everyone in the manor, making them all obey her. Now, she wants to get rid of me completely so she can take over my family’s wealth.”
Several players had already guessed Lina’s true identity. Now that it was confirmed, they all felt a sense of inevitability.
Beside them, Mary’s expression was hard to read. She silently moved Steward Wang to a safe spot, then went to check on the other unconscious servants.
Remembering the diary, Jiang Xi’s eyes flickered and she asked urgently, “Is that so? Are you okay now? Did she hurt you?”
Shen Youyou’s body stiffened slightly. She shook her head. “No. That vampire’s power is weakening. She can’t enchant me.”
It sounded like a normal response, but then why had Lina chosen to hide Shen Youyou instead of just killing her?
Jiang Xi narrowed her eyes, sensing that Shen Youyou was hiding something.
She was about to ask more when she noticed Shen Youyou glancing around, clearly searching for something, her eyes sparkling with eager anticipation.
“Where’s Bo Jingmo? Why don’t I see him? And Mu Chengsi—why isn’t she with you guys?”
Wu Bei stepped forward from behind, his voice heavy: “Something happened at the banquet. Bo Jingmo and Mu Chengsi are still over there.”
Shen Youyou gasped, “What? They’re still there!?”
Did that mean… Bo Jingmo was still with that woman??
Remembering what that woman had said before, she clenched her back teeth, resentment rising in her eyes.
That b*tch Lina—she better keep her hands off Bo Jingmo!!
Mary spoke calmly from the side, “We’re almost out of time. If we keep stalling, Madam will notice something’s wrong.”
As soon as she spoke, everyone’s eyes shifted to the maid.
Jiang Xi asked Shen Youyou, “Youyou, this Mary…”
Wasn’t she Lina’s maid? How come she wasn’t enchanted?
Seeing this, Shen Youyou quickly explained, “Aunt Mary’s helping me. She wasn’t enchanted by that vampire. I was just about to tell you guys about this.”
“Wh—”
“What is it?” Jiang Xi was mid-sentence when a familiar female voice rang out from behind them.
Everyone froze, then quickly turned toward the sound.
There at the doorway stood Mu Chengsi—the one who had disappeared. And not just her—Bo Jingmo was with her.
The moment Shen Youyou saw the man’s familiar face, her eyes lit up with joy and excitement. “Bo—”
But in the next second, her expression froze. Her pupils shrank. She tilted her head in disbelief, eyes locked on Bo Jingmo’s neck like she was trying to burn a hole through it.
Bo Jingmo… had that woman’s scent on him.
A rich rose fragrance wafted off the man, spreading like mist in the air. It filled Shen Youyou’s nose, the overwhelming scent as bold and possessive as its owner—declaring to everyone that this human already belonged to her.
Lina really had laid her hands on Bo Jingmo.
But he was her boyfriend!!!
She clenched her teeth tightly, staring at Bo Jingmo’s face, her emotions a chaotic mess.
The man’s gaze remained cold and distant, like a frozen lake—clear, biting, and devoid of any warmth.
As if… he didn’t even recognize his girlfriend.
No. No! Don’t look at her like that!
Aaaaahhhh——!!!
Why? Why?!
Rage surged like a tidal wave through her chest. Shen Youyou trembled with fury. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to storm into the North Residence and kill that btch woman! How dare she—how the hll dare she?!
He’s my boyfriend! Bo Jingmo is mine!!
Noticing something was off, Jiang Xi frowned slightly and asked urgently, “What’s wrong, Youyou?”
The rage on Shen Youyou’s face froze for a moment. She quickly turned her head to avoid Jiang Xi’s gaze. The red glow faded from her eyes. Her voice came out hoarse, each word squeezed through clenched teeth, “It’s nothing…”
But she clearly didn’t look like it was “nothing.”
Jiang Xi frowned deeper. “Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to rest for a bit?”
By now, Mu Chengsi had walked over. She crossed her arms and gave Shen Youyou a once-over, letting out a cold laugh: “Shen Youyou, you look pretty lively to me. Doesn’t seem like you were imprisoned at all. We practically died because of you.”
Maybe it was the blood she’d absorbed, or maybe it was her body slowly transitioning into a vampire’s, but Shen Youyou’s appearance had subtly changed. Her once withered skin was now smooth and pale again.
If not for the bloodstained dress she wore, who’d believe she’d been imprisoned?
Shen Youyou’s expression shifted. She looked at Mu Chengsi with faint resentment and silently clenched her fists.
She’d wanted to look her best when seeing Bo Jingmo again—that’s why she’d freshened up a bit. How could Mu Chengsi call her out like that right away?
Thinking this, she instinctively glanced over at Bo Jingmo, a trace of unconscious hurt and pleading in her eyes—wanting to see how he would react.
