AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 28

Although Ruan Tang was born into a noble family, he was not favored at home, so this was his first time setting foot in such a place.

He followed beside Auston’s wheelchair all the way, his demeanor impeccable.

However, due to recent rumors that the Bluebeard Duke of Imperial Star was extremely fond of his new wife, even going so far as to not only break the leg of the younger son of Duke Fediya but also accuse Duke Fediya before the Emperor, forcing Duke Fediya to send his younger son away from Imperial Star… Such rumors spread like wildfire.

Even though Ruan Tang’s demeanor was flawless, he still attracted everyone’s attention. Although there were many nobles in Imperial Star, not everyone had seen Ruan Tang because he had always disliked attending social occasions.

Those who hadn’t met Ruan Tang were all wondering what kind of charm this Omega, who had been rejected twice, possessed that could make the famous royal mad dog so infatuated.

Although Ruan Tang had always been known as the number one beauty of Imperial Star, his half-brother Ruan Xi was a popular figure in Imperial Star’s social circles, known as the number one straight-Alpha killer. However, he didn’t look particularly outstanding, being rather plain and unremarkable. No one knew why he was so popular with Alphas.

It was a well-known fact in Imperial Star that Ruan Tang had lost two engagements because of Ruan Xi.

Therefore, even though Ruan Tang was known as the number one beauty, many people who hadn’t met him assumed that he probably wasn’t that good-looking, and likely not as good as Ruan Xi.

The title of “number one beauty” was probably just a gimmick that Marshal Ruan Ming had created to promote his obscure son.

And the fact that Ruan Tang could now accidentally win Auston’s heart probably meant that the madman’s tastes were different from ordinary people.

These were the thoughts of these people before they had seen Ruan Tang.

Ruan Tang walked beside Auston, wearing a tailored suit, his eyes straight ahead, exuding an air of elegance and refinement. His skin was as fair as snow, and his demeanor was indifferent, but the overall impression he gave was that he was as captivating and beautiful as someone who had stepped out of a painting.

What was most rare and commendable was that, despite being known as a venomous, black-hearted lotus, his temperament was not at all vulgar. Instead, he was aloof and abstinent, filled with a kind of lofty but not offensive tranquility.

He was truly a rare and exceptional beauty.

The moment they first saw Ruan Tang, many people were stunned. It wasn’t until Ruan Tang walked away with the wheelchair of the infamous and outrageous mad dog of Imperial Star that they came back to their senses.

They all sighed in their hearts: it seems that the one with the aesthetic problem isn’t the Bluebeard Duke, but Ruan Tang’s two former fiancés.

Otherwise, how could they have given up such a stunning beauty to like Ruan Xi?

What a pity that such a beauty married the number one ugly monster of Imperial Star. Truly, beauty is fleeting.

…

Ruan Tang had been outstandingly beautiful since he was a child, and he was very used to the fact that countless eyes would fall on him and be attracted to him when he arrived in a new environment.

However, although these people would be amazed by his appearance, they would all turn to love Ruan Xi after seeing him.

Ruan Tang couldn’t understand why, and in the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that perhaps Ruan Xi’s soul was more interesting than his mere appearance in the eyes of these people.

“…Sir, what are we doing here?” Ruan Tang wanted to understand the purpose of their trip. Auston was pushing the wheelchair too fast, making him confused and almost unable to keep up.

Auston brushed aside those annoying people who were staring at Ruan Tang with dumbfounded expressions, frowned slightly, and immediately slowed down the speed of his wheelchair. He immediately said, “…Nothing, just looking around.”

Ruan Tang: “…”

Ruan Tang was speechless as he looked at him, but he didn’t think that he was just looking around for nothing. He could only attribute his answer to an excuse to avoid telling him the real reason.

He immediately responded in a low voice: “…Okay.”

Although they were husband and husband in name, they were actually very unfamiliar with each other, and their relationship was far from close enough to be open about everything. Since Auston didn’t want to tell him and wanted to hide it from him, Ruan Tang didn’t ask any further.

He immediately slowed down his pace and began to browse the auction center, which was said to have priceless items.

There were crystal clear, flawless pink crystals that refracted ever-changing colors depending on the angle, as well as lustrous and beautiful mutton fat jade that had been deposited for thousands of years to become flawless, and naturally formed pearls as big as a fist…

Each and every item was a priceless and rare treasure.

It was dazzling, as if one had fallen into an endless extravagance of flowers.

Ruan Tang accompanied Auston as they walked and looked around, admiring these rare treasures for a whole morning, but he didn’t understand what Auston was here for.

It wasn’t until the auction started at noon.

Auston disregarded the prices and bid for all the treasures that Ruan Tang had looked at for more than three seconds, as if he was determined to get them.

The entire audience looked at them in astonishment. Many people who had taken a fancy to a treasure and had finally made up their minds to bid were angry but dared not speak out because of Auston’s identity, and the person in charge of the auction center even suspected that they were here to cause trouble.

It wasn’t until Auston generously spent a fortune and paid for everything that people breathed a sigh of relief.

“…Sir, what are you doing?” Not only was everyone in the auction center shocked, but also Ruan Tang, who watched Auston spend a fortune like a nouveau riche and buy almost all of the auction items.

Auston didn’t quite understand what he was asking: “What do you mean, what am I doing?”

“What are you going to do with all of these?” Ruan Tang looked at him in surprise. In the past, he had only heard that Auston was cruel and heartless, but he hadn’t heard that he was extravagant.

At this rate of spending money, Ruan Tang was very worried about whether the Duke’s mansion was still well-off.

Auston said without thinking, “Giving them to you.”

“Giving them to me?” Ruan Tang was stunned and incredulously recalled all the things that Auston had bid on, almost half of the auction center’s items: “All of them to me?”

He thought that Auston wanted to bid because he liked them himself, but he never thought that Auston wanted to buy them to give to him.

Auston nodded as a matter of course: “All of them to you.”

Vincent was right, Ruan Tang really liked these things. Look at how happy he is.

“…Why did you suddenly want to give me things, sir?” Ruan Tang was completely bewildered.

Auston awkwardly looked away, not looking at him, and pretended to be nonchalant: “…It’s nothing, it’s just that you looked at those things several times, looking like you wanted them but were too embarrassed to ask, so I decided to give them to you.”

“Don’t overthink it. Now that you’re my Omega, I can’t let you be too shabby. Since you want them and I can afford them, I bought them.” Auston added when he saw that he wasn’t speaking.

He didn’t want this Omega to know that he was deliberately trying to make him happy.

Ruan Tang: “…”

Ruan Tang was speechless, not knowing where he had looked at those things several times, looking like he wanted them but didn’t want to ask. He clearly had nothing else to do, so he had to be forced to visit these priceless exhibits.

Moreover, wasn’t it Auston who inexplicably dragged him here this morning?

It wasn’t like he had run over here eagerly himself.

He was complaining in his heart, but when he met Auston’s awkward expression, a strange possibility emerged in Ruan Tang’s heart. Could it be that Auston wanted to give him a gift, so he woke him up early in the morning to come to the auction center to choose?

However, didn’t people usually give one gift at a time?

Who would buy almost half of the auction center’s items all at once to give away?

Moreover, why did Auston suddenly give him something?

Sure enough, this madman’s brain circuit was different from normal people’s.

After experiencing Auston’s crazy behavior these past two days, Ruan Tang now almost felt that Auston’s previous clear-headed and rational conversation with him was just his own dream.

This guy is still very crazy…

“…Um, do you like them?” Auston looked at Ruan Tang’s face, which didn’t have the joy he had imagined, and asked a little nervously.

Could it be that Vincent was unreliable and the information was wrong, and Ruan Tang didn’t like these things?

Ruan Tang immediately came back to his senses and smiled sincerely: “I like them very much, thank you, sir.”

Although Auston’s behavior was a bit crazy, he should still be grateful to anyone who gave him a gift, especially these priceless gifts…

Who would complain about having too much money?

Auston breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say that he liked them: “It’s good that you like them.”

There were always central service staff standing by in the private room they were in. Before long, the news that the Bluebeard Duke had acted out of character today and spent a lot of money to buy almost half of the auction center’s items, all to please his new wife, spread.

When Auston and Ruan Tang left, many nobles and financial groups who wanted to bid on things but had lost their treasures forever because of Auston’s participation looked at them angrily.

But after seeing Ruan Tang’s appearance, they were all relieved –

This time, it really wasn’t the mad Duke’s fault. If they could have such a beautiful Omega, even if he was a black-hearted lotus, a venomous beauty, they would definitely want to dote on and protect him like this madman, dedicate all the good things to him, and take out all the wealth in their wallets to spend on him.

Ruan Tang was really too good-looking.

In less than a day, the news that Auston had spent a fortune for Ruan Tang and bought almost half of the auction center spread throughout Imperial Star.

In order to give Ruan Tang a chance to show off, Auston unusually accepted an invitation to a banquet held by a duke’s mansion and brought Ruan Tang with him.

Ruan Tang casually selected two items from Auston’s gifts and put them on.

Times were different now. Because of Auston’s visible care and attention to him, no one in the top noble circles of Imperial Star dared to underestimate Ruan Tang anymore. As soon as Ruan Tang appeared, he immediately became the center of attention, surrounded by Imperial Star’s socialites who were vying to curry favor with him. He was overwhelmed with various social engagements.

Auston sat in a corner, sipping wine and watching Ruan Tang become the center of a normal banquet, someone that everyone needed to carefully curry favor with.

He inexplicably felt a little happy.

“Your Excellency Auston…” Just then, a slender, gentle-looking male Omega quietly approached him.

It was Ruan Xi.
