AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 31

However, no one even considered the possibility that Ruan Xi didn’t seduce Auston and it was all a misunderstanding…

Ignoring Auston’s notorious reputation throughout the Imperial Star, the relationship between Ruan Xi and Ruan Tang was already irreconcilable. What business would Ruan Xi have talking privately with Ruan Tang’s husband, while looking at him with such suggestive eyes?

“Mozhi, you have to believe in Xixi, you have to believe in Xixi, this isn’t real, it definitely isn’t real…” Xia Ruzhi, clutching Shen Mozhi’s hand, frantically defended the unconscious Ruan Xi.

Shen Mozhi’s face was ashen, but he instinctively shook off Xia Ruzhi’s hand, remaining silent.

At this moment, with the revelation of such an ironic and laughable truth, people’s sympathy shifted not only to Ruan Tang, who had been manipulated terribly by Ruan Xi, but even more so to Shen Mozhi, Ruan Xi’s fiancé.

Looking at Shen Mozhi’s unsightly expression, everyone could only think of one phrase: cuckolded.

Poor Shen Mozhi, a promising young talent, the dream Alpha of countless Omegas on the Imperial Star, was humiliated in such an embarrassing way by Ruan Xi.

Moreover, Ruan Xi’s intended affair was with Auston, the Bluebeard Duke, whose notoriety was widespread throughout the empire, and who was rejected by Ruan Xi.

Wasn’t this a blatant slap in the face to Shen Mozhi, Ruan Xi’s fiancé?

Pitiful, Shen Mozhi was truly pitiful.

Sensing the sympathetic gazes of the crowd, Shen Mozhi became even more embarrassed. He almost reflexively wanted to look at Ruan Tang.

However, Ruan Tang didn’t even glance at him, showing neither sympathy nor satisfaction.

Seeing Ruan Xi’s reputation completely ruined, with likely no chance of recovery, Ruan Tang didn’t want to stay there and watch their misfortune. He simply said to Elena, the hostess of the banquet, “Madam, now that the truth has come to light, I’m feeling a bit tired and will head back first. I apologize for disturbing you.”

“Of course, of course, since you’re tired, please go back and rest early. Do come and visit often,” Madam Elena said with a forced smile, not insisting he stay.

Ruan Tang didn’t want to say anything more. He knew that even if he didn’t…

After this incident, Ruan Xi’s reputation was completely ruined. Even if they did nothing, Ruan Xi would no longer be able to gain a foothold in the Imperial Star’s circle of noble Omegas, who despised mistresses.

Ruan Tang stepped forward, withdrawing from the spectacle, and proactively pushed Auston’s wheelchair: “Your Grace, let’s go.”

“Alright,” Auston said with a sarcastic smile, looking at those who hadn’t yet recovered from the drama, but he didn’t object to Ruan Tang’s decision.

…

Auston gave Ruan Tang plenty of face in public. But once they were in the hovercar, just when Ruan Tang thought everything was over, Auston suddenly slammed his hand on the table, overturning everything on it with a “smack—” sound.

Ruan Tang looked up at him, bewildered.

“Tell me, have I spoiled you too much, spoiled you to the point where you’re lawless and don’t know your place, that you dare to disobey my wishes?” Auston grabbed his wrist, looking at him fiercely, and sternly questioned him.

Ruan Tang fully experienced the Bluebeard Duke’s fickleness and erratic nature.

Ruan Tang: “…”

Ruan Tang was stunned for a moment before belatedly realizing that Auston was probably angry because he had publicly disobeyed his wish to leave and insisted on staying to change his decision.

Ruan Tang had thought that his agreement to let him handle the matter meant it was over. He hadn’t expected Auston’s delayed reaction to be so long, that he could suppress his anger until now…

This madman’s thought process was indeed different from ordinary people.

And he had indeed gotten carried away, daring to repeatedly disobey and defy Auston’s decisions in front of everyone, even changing them.

Miraculously, Auston had repeatedly compromised with him…

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Auston immediately pulled Ruan Tang closer, grabbing his chin with one hand and forcing him to look up at him. His eyes were like those of a venomous snake, dark and terrifying, full of pressure: “Speak, why aren’t you talking? Who gave you such courage?”

What he hated most was someone trying to manipulate, control, and change his decisions.

Although Ruan Tang didn’t have any bad intentions, and at most was a bit spoiled, Auston still felt he had to teach him a lesson, so he wouldn’t dare to do it again…

Faced with Auston’s power, Ruan Tang remained motionless, letting Auston do whatever he wanted, like a little kitten that had done something wrong, aware of its master’s anger, and letting its master rub and squeeze it.

Facing such a terrifying, perverted, and erratic Auston, Ruan Tang should have been afraid, but for some reason, perhaps because of Auston’s recent excessive indulgence, or perhaps for other reasons, Ruan Tang didn’t feel afraid at all.

He stared at Auston, noticing that his eyes were bloodshot, almost dripping blood, and for some reason, he suddenly became distracted and asked, “Your Grace’s eyes are bloodshot, are you tired? Let’s go back and rest quickly…”

Ruan Tang didn’t know what was wrong with Auston, only that he was probably too tired.

“Don’t try to avoid the important and focus on the trivial, changing the subject,” Auston refused to let him off, staring straight at him, his temples bulging with veins, and questioned with a forceful gaze: “Answer me, who gave you the courage?”

He refused to believe that he, who could subdue even the most vicious thugs in prison, couldn’t control an Omega.

“Of course, Your Grace gave me the courage,” Ruan Tang said helplessly, giving up and looking straight back at Auston: “… Your Grace favors me so much, I naturally couldn’t help but be spoiled and want to show off a bit.”

Auston: “…”

This time, it was Auston who was speechless.

This was clearly the purpose he had wanted to achieve by bringing Ruan Tang out this time, but hearing it from Ruan Tang’s mouth made him feel incredibly ridiculous.

He wanted to laugh a little.

But remembering that he was currently reprimanding Ruan Tang, he immediately forced himself to put on a stern face, looking at Ruan Tang with a forced smile, and said fiercely: “I didn’t invite you here to tell me jokes.”

His tone was full of threat.

However, Ruan Tang wasn’t afraid at all, and said with clear eyes: “I’m being serious. Today, Ruan Xi failed to seduce Your Grace, but Your Grace was almost falsely accused by Xia Ruzhi and the others. Your Grace may not care about this, not care about innocence, and let them throw dirt on you, but I can’t stand it…”

“I had to clarify the matter clearly, and explain everything clearly.” Revealing Ruan Xi’s true colors and ruining his reputation was Ruan Tang’s wish since childhood.

Unfortunately, he was never favored in the Ruan family, and no one would ever listen to him, giving him the power and opportunity to clarify things.

Therefore, he could only swallow his grievances and endure them silently…

But now, times were different. He had this power, and Ruan Xi had brought the opportunity to him. With Auston’s support, even if he was a bit eager, Ruan Tang would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity…

In the past, for some reason, it seemed that as long as he fought with Ruan Xi, all the right timing, location, people, and luck would be on Ruan Xi’s side, and Ruan Tang would never have the power to turn things around.

But today, he and Ruan Xi had indeed reversed their roles, and he had finally won once.

Seeing that he had defeated Ruan Xi today, just like in countless dreams, and revealed his true colors, Ruan Tang was excited, and even the blood flowing in his veins was unconsciously boiling.

Even if he had to pay a certain price for it, making Auston angry and punish him, Ruan Tang felt it was worth it.

“What’s the point of clarifying this? In this world, as long as you live happily, why bother with other people’s opinions? How they think of me, how they see me, is their business… I don’t care what they say about me behind my back, as long as they don’t say it to my face. If they say it to my face, I’ll just have someone break their legs and cripple them…” Auston sneered, unable to understand Ruan Tang’s concern for these things.

All his actions were as he himself said, only for his own pleasure and to repay kindness and grudges.

Ruan Tang certainly knew what Auston’s usual style was like, and knew how bad his reputation was on the Imperial Star.

Knowing that he couldn’t change Auston, he pursed his lips but said, “I know, Your Grace doesn’t care about these things, but I can’t help but care.”

For Auston, doing whatever he wanted and acting arbitrarily was happiness, but for him, clear black and white, right and wrong, and a clear understanding was happiness.

Auston gave him a deep look and immediately asked, “What? You suffered a lot at the hands of that thing called Ruan Xi before?”

Auston could tell at a glance that Ruan Xi was sinister and ruthless, hiding a knife behind his smile. Although he wasn’t very smart, Ruan Tang was completely a naive idiot in his eyes.

Being brothers with Ruan Xi, he could tell at a glance that Ruan Tang couldn’t outsmart Ruan Xi.

“… Sort of,” Ruan Tang saw the mockery in Auston’s eyes and didn’t know how to explain that he was just unlucky, not stupid, so he could only admit that he was inferior.

Auston stared at him and suddenly asked, “That Shen Mozhi?”

Ruan Tang looked at him, puzzled: “…?”

“I saw that when you met, you reacted strongly to him. Did you know each other before?” Auston’s face darkened slightly, recalling the expression in Ruan Tang’s eyes when he looked at Shen Mozhi, and felt inexplicably unhappy.

Ruan Tang was speechless, not expecting him to be so uninterested in his past, not even knowing the slightest bit of information.

Seeing that Ruan Tang didn’t speak, Auston immediately urged, “Why aren’t you talking?”

“He’s my ex-fiancé, cough, stolen from me by Ruan Xi,” Ruan Tang had to explain the relationship between him and Shen Mozhi.

Auston immediately repeated Ruan Tang’s words, his tone slightly cold: “Ex-fiancé?”

“… Uh, although he’s my ex-fiancé, he seems to have known Ruan Xi since childhood and confused me with Ruan Xi, that’s why he got engaged to me. The person he has always liked is Ruan Xi, you can see it from his expression just now,” Ruan Tang looked at his eyes and suddenly remembered that he was his husband, and immediately became eager to survive: “Although I was engaged to him, I’m not familiar with him, at most I’m just a villainous cannon fodder in his and Ruan Xi’s story.”

Hearing this, Auston sneered, “Why are you explaining so much? Are you afraid I’ll misunderstand?”

“… I’m just talking too much, I wanted to say it,” Ruan Tang said speechlessly.

Auston didn’t continue to dwell on this topic, looked at Ruan Tang seriously for a while, but said, “That Shen Mozhi, his eyes are pretty trash.”

Although he didn’t like Omegas, he felt that Ruan Tang was better than that Ruan Xi by more than a star and a half…

“I think so too,” Ruan Tang said with a forced smile.

Auston gave him a deep look, withdrew his gaze, and warned him, “This time, because you let me see a good show, I won’t blame you, but don’t do it again.”

“Next time you disobey my wishes like this again, I’ll punish you,” he gently tapped Ruan Tang’s nose.

As an Alpha, he would never allow an Omega to climb on top of him.

Ruan Tang: “…”

In order to teach Ruan Tang a lesson and make him remember, Auston didn’t say a word to Ruan Tang after returning, nor did he come to suck him as usual.

…

Ruan Tang didn’t wait for the person to suck him, and suddenly felt a little strange, as if something was missing. But he quickly adjusted himself and had a good night’s sleep.

Early the next morning, Ruan Tang opened his personal terminal and saw that Ruan Ming, Zhou Yao, Wen Run, and a series of Ruan Xi’s protectors had sent him a series of communications and a large number of messages.

Ruan Tang could guess what they would say and do with his toes, and ignored these messages, directly turned off his personal terminal, went out, and went to visit his mother and siblings.

After taking them out of the Ruan family, Ruan Tang placed them in a five-star sanatorium on the Imperial Star.

Although they were all mentally confused and didn’t recognize Ruan Tang, Ruan Tang would still visit them regularly and talk to them…

Even if they didn’t know anything anymore, they would always be his blood relatives in Ruan Tang’s mind.

Time passed quickly, and a day passed in a blink of an eye.

Ruan Tang returned to the Duke’s mansion in the evening.

“Are you being too delicate? I only said a few words to you yesterday, and you actually ran away from home and didn’t answer the communications?” Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Auston appeared in front of him in a hurry and accused him reproachfully.

He had originally planned to teach Ruan Tang a lesson, intending to ignore him for a morning.

Unexpectedly, when he intended to look for Ruan Tang, he found that Ruan Tang was not at home, had not returned for a whole day, and had not answered any communications…

Wasn’t this what Vincent called running away from home?

Auston simply felt that Ruan Tang was too much, he was indeed spoiled, and became spoiled in such a short period of time.

Ruan Tang belatedly turned on his personal terminal, which he had directly turned off because of annoyance, and then found that Auston had also made countless communications to him today.

Ruan Tang was speechless: “…”
