AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 33

Chapter 32

As a member of the royal family secretly leading the rebel army, commanding the rebel forces to invade the Imperial Star and overthrow his own family’s rule and regime, apart from “madman,” Wen Run couldn’t think of a more fitting word to describe that Alpha.

Thinking of how Auston, in his past life, wanted to skin Ruan Tang and extract his glands upon seeing him, and his words, “Only blood and slaughter can make this world more beautiful,”

Wen Run couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.

It was lunchtime, and several researchers and Wen Run’s assistants saw Wen Run sitting alone in a corner, lost in thought. They immediately asked, “Is Chief worried about Researcher Ruan Xi’s matter? Are you planning to visit Researcher Ruan later? He hasn’t come to work today.”

Everyone knew that Ruan Xi and Wen Run had a close relationship. Moreover, Ruan Xi was good at playing the innocent victim, so although Ruan Xi’s abilities weren’t outstanding, he was quite popular at the Research Institute.

Hearing someone mention Ruan Xi, those who knew some of the inside story immediately started chattering, “Researcher Ruan is so pitiful. He doesn’t seem like someone who would do such a thing at all… but he’s been framed again and again. He’s really unlucky.”

“That Ruan Tang is really something, why won’t he let Researcher Ruan go?”

…

Wen Run didn’t want to speak, but seeing these people speculating about Ruan Tang with the greatest malice, just like in the past, and sympathizing with Ruan Xi, his heart suddenly felt like it had been stabbed, as if cut by a knife.

He immediately looked coldly at the researcher who had pointed out Ruan Tang’s name, almost saying that Ruan Tang was bullying Ruan Xi, and reprimanded, “Researcher Ye, hearing is believing is false, and seeing is not necessarily believing either, let alone your own speculation? As for the matter between Ruan Xi and Ruan Tang, it’s not up to you to draw a conclusion about the truth of the matter. This is the First Research Institute, not a place for you to gossip and spread rumors. Please do your job properly.”

“Don’t make assumptions about things you don’t understand.”

This young chief had always had a gentle temper and rarely reprimanded others.

Researcher Ye was suddenly called out by name and looked at his stern appearance. He was immediately stunned, “Chief, I…”

“I don’t want to hear even a single word of such idle gossip in the Research Institute from now on.” Wen Run’s gaze swept coldly across everyone present who was gossiping, word by word.

He could no longer tolerate anyone saying a bad word about Ruan Tang in front of him.

The few people were frightened by his gaze. Although they didn’t know why Wen Run had suddenly changed his face, they looked at each other and quickly said, “…Sorry, Chief, I shouldn’t have gossiped.”

They didn’t dare to gossip another word.

Seeing that they had shut up, Wen Run immediately raised his foot and left, not showing it on his face, but feeling extremely irritable in his heart.

Auston Camishire was a madman, but he was a madman born with a silver spoon in his mouth, with a distinguished status, strong bloodline, powerful mental strength, and high position and authority.

Whether now or in the future, it would be difficult for him to contend with this madman.

He didn’t know why the trajectory of this life had changed, or why Ruan Tang had married Auston, but he knew that he had to rescue Ruan Tang from that madman’s side.

Even if it meant facing a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, and paying the price of his life, he wouldn’t hesitate.

This was what he owed Ruan Tang…

And before that, he had to see Ruan Tang, to see this blood relative who had never abandoned him, but whom he had never cherished in his previous life.

…

“Wen Run? That Chief Wen Run from the First Research Institute?” Auston asked in a deep voice.

Because Ruan Tang had already added Wen Run’s communication account to the blacklist, Wen Run had to choose the oldest form of communication among nobles, submitting a visiting card to the Auston Duke’s manor, requesting a meeting with the Duchess.

However, this visiting card was intercepted by Auston before it even reached Ruan Tang’s hands.

The butler immediately answered Auston respectfully about the visitor’s identity, “Yes, it is that Chief Wen.”

“What is he doing here? I don’t remember being responsible for anything related to military industry, or having any need to interface with him for work?” Auston scoffed, lazily throwing Wen Run’s visiting card aside without even looking at it.

He knew this person, an orphan born on a poor star of unknown parentage. After his father died early, he was adopted by a small noble family in a remote star system. Relying on his super high IQ and good grades, he led his adoptive parents out of the remote star system and came to the Imperial Star. He was cultivated by the Calandre family as a key talent, topping the list of prestigious schools all the way, and after graduation, he joined the First Research Institute, becoming the youngest chief in the field of technology and military industry.

Auston’s subordinates unanimously believed that he was a useful person and wanted Auston to find a way to bring him over, but Auston had been slow to take action.

And now…

The butler respectfully said, “Chief Wen is here to see the lady, he is the lady’s childhood friend. He said that there are some misunderstandings between him and the lady and he wants to see the lady and have a good talk with him, you…”

“Don’t see him, there’s nothing to see.” Auston directly interrupted the butler’s words, not giving him a chance to finish, and said without thinking, “Just tell him to get lost.”

He had asked someone to investigate yesterday and only then did he know something about the matter between Wen Run and Ruan Tang.

This Wen Run and Ruan Tang were childhood friends and good friends, but that was only limited to childhood. After growing up, this person didn’t know what evil he had been possessed by, and became friends with Ruan Tang’s white lotus brother Ruan Xi. He often stood on Ruan Xi’s side, helping to bully Ruan Tang, criticizing Ruan Tang, it was really unknown whose childhood friend he was.

Auston didn’t want to give him a chance to see Ruan Tang at all.

The butler understood his master’s waywardness and unreasonableness. He also knew that today Wen Run, the research genius and military industry star whom everyone in the Imperial Star tried to curry favor with, would probably not be able to enter the Duke’s manor. He responded with a good temper, “Yes, sir, I understand.”

“By the way, sir, do you need to inform lady that Chief Wen has been here?” Walking to the door, the butler suddenly thought of something and asked Auston again.

Auston immediately made a unilateral decision for Ruan Tang without even thinking, “No need, there’s nothing to say, don’t say it.”

He was making the decision for Ruan Tang that he didn’t need such friends, and he didn’t need to know that they had come.

The butler immediately responded obediently, “Yes, sir.”

In his heart, however, he felt quite sympathetic to Ruan Tang, who had no freedom even to make friends after marrying Auston.

…

Ruan Tang had no chance to know that Wen Run had come to find him. At this time, he was accompanying his mother and older siblings in undergoing examinations by the top doctors in the entire Imperial Star, whom Auston had invited.

Although Auston was crazy, he was very meticulous in his work. After saying that he wanted Ruan Tang to bring his mother and siblings over to live with him, the next day he not only brought the Ruan mother and her three children over, but also invited the most authoritative mental and special clinic doctors in the entire Imperial Star to treat them.

Several doctors, whom everyone in the Imperial Star had to show respect to and couldn’t even get an appointment with, had a very good attitude towards Ruan Tang. They were also quite patient and meticulous with the demented Ruan mother and the unconscious Ruan Yue. Before leaving, they also brought Ruan Tang some fairly good news: “Although the situation is indeed very serious, with slow treatment and careful recuperation… it’s not completely impossible to recover…”

In just a few words, he was the only doctor among countless doctors who had said that his siblings and mother still had a chance of recovery.

“Really? Doctor.” Ruan Tang was overjoyed, as if he had seen hope again.

The doctor nodded affirmatively, “Really, I suggest you can try mental therapy, using the mental strength of close relatives to try to awaken the inner consciousness of the unconscious patient… At that time, I will tell you how to operate. After that, I will come over every week to give the old lady, and young master Ruan and miss Ruan a follow-up visit.”

Ruan Yang was unconscious on the bed.

Ruan Yue and Tang Yun babbled, not knowing what they were calling out, “Candy, where’s my candy!”

“Baby, my baby…”

None of them recognized Ruan Tang, but Ruan Tang felt a kind of warmth and belief in his heart when he looked at them, feeling that their existence supported him in moving forward.

Because, with them, Ruan Tang felt that he still had a home.

Not alone and helpless.

After seeing the doctors off, Ruan Tang immediately took the liberty of choosing three adjacent, but quiet rooms in the mansion that were far away from Auston’s residence for his family to live in.

Although Auston had agreed to let his family live in, Ruan Tang was still worried that his demented mother and crazy sister would make noise and displease Auston, causing a collision.

After settling down his mother and siblings, Ruan Tang accompanied his mother and sister, who didn’t recognize him at all, for a while, and only returned to his room after putting them all to sleep.

It was already late at night. Auston, who usually came to suck him every day, was unusually absent today.

Ruan Tang was a little tired and wanted to take a bath and go straight to sleep, but after thinking about it, he asked the butler where Auston’s room was, and then found Auston’s room alone and knocked on his door.

“Who is it?” Auston’s voice was still as low and hoarse as ever.

Ruan Tang immediately replied in a deep voice, “It’s me, sir.”

“…Come in.” Auston’s voice seemed a little surprised, but he still said to Ruan Tang.

The lights in the room were a little dim. Although the entire mansion had returned to normal operation because of Ruan Tang’s words, Auston’s bedroom still maintained the same gloom and loneliness as in the past.

On the comfortable and luxurious bed, Auston was lying half-covered with a quilt. His face was still covered with a mask, but from his eyes, Ruan Tang could still see his fatigue and slight listlessness…

“Why are you here? Aren’t you with your mother and older siblings?” Auston looked at him for a while, frowning and asking him, as if he was a little surprised that Ruan Tang would take the initiative to come to him.

After being married for so long, this was the first time Ruan Tang had stepped into Auston’s room.

For him, it was completely like stepping into a new field.

Ruan Tang couldn’t help but feel a little nervous, but he still tried his best to remain calm and said, “I’ve accompanied them, my mother and sister are already resting…”

Auston’s gaze looked at him faintly through the mask, as if waiting for him to finish speaking.

“So, I came to see sir.” Ruan Tang bit his lip, not knowing how much effort it took to squeeze out these words.

Auston nodded slightly, feeling quite surprised, and asked as if he couldn’t understand, “See me? What are you looking at me for?”

He was a little uncomfortable today. His nose was a little stuffy, and he couldn’t smell the pheromone scent on Ruan Tang that could calm him down, so he didn’t even have the desire to suck Ruan Tang…

He didn’t expect Ruan Tang to come to him on his own initiative.

The two of them had known each other for quite some time, but every time it was Auston who went to find Ruan Tang when he wanted to find him. It was the first time for Auston that Ruan Tang had come to him on his own initiative.

That was really new.

“Doesn’t sir usually want to smell the scent of my pheromones? Sir didn’t come today, so I came over…” Ruan Tang didn’t know why he wanted to find Auston, he just wanted to come, so he chose to come directly.

If Auston didn’t come to suck him, he was willing to deliver it to his door.

Auston felt a little amused when he heard his words, “What’s wrong? You’ve become addicted to being sucked by me? You’re not used to me not sucking you for a day?”

Ruan Tang smelled good, so good that it would be especially good to put him there as an aromatherapy. It was very normal for him to be addicted to sucking Ruan Tang…

But being sucked, Auston also knew his usual habits. He thought that Ruan Tang wouldn’t feel particularly comfortable, right? If he didn’t go to suck him, why did Ruan Tang come over?

Auston felt that this omega was a little strange.

“…I guess so.” Ruan Tang thought for a while and answered very honestly. Although it was a little strange to like being sucked, but Auston had sucked him every day and made it a habit. Suddenly one day, Ruan Tang felt that he was really a little unaccustomed.

It was the first time Auston had heard of someone being addicted to being sucked, and he suddenly felt a little amused, “Pfft hahaha.”

He felt that this omega was interesting, especially interesting.

Ruan Tang looked at him, a little at a loss.

“You go back first, I’m sick today, my nose is stuffy, I can’t suck you…” After laughing, Auston looked at Ruan Tang with some regret, but still waved at him, signaling him to leave.

He was sick and had insomnia now. If he usually smelled Ruan Tang’s scent and sucked Ruan Tang, it could calm him down and make him feel more comfortable at night.

But now, he couldn’t smell the scent, he was uncomfortable and couldn’t sleep. Looking at Ruan Tang, he only felt more and more upset and irritable, and just wanted to be alone.

He wanted to drive Ruan Tang away…

“Sir is sick, where is he uncomfortable? Does he have a fever?” Ruan Tang suddenly became nervous when he heard that he was sick. He stepped forward and reached out to take off Auston’s mask to test the temperature of his forehead.

But as soon as his hand touched Auston’s mask, Auston took the lead and grabbed his hand, stopping Ruan Tang from taking off his mask.

Only then did Ruan Tang realize that his behavior was excessive. He immediately stopped the action in his hand, felt the slight heat coming from Auston’s palm, and stammered, as if burned, “…Have you seen a doctor?”

“It’s a minor matter, no need to see a doctor, I’ll be fine tomorrow after a night’s sleep…” Auston knew very well that his current condition was a sequelae of taking medicine for his illness. He would be like this every time he took medicine, so he was very used to it.

It was just a pity that he couldn’t smell the scent.

Hearing this, Ruan Tang immediately tucked in the quilt for him and asked with concern, “Then does sir want to drink water now?”

“…What are you here for?” Auston was extremely unaccustomed to such sudden concern from others about his eating, drinking, and sleeping. This made him feel inexplicably ashamed and annoyed.

Ruan Tang looked at him nervously, but unconsciously straightened his body: “Actually, I’m here to thank sir.”

“Thank me?” Auston raised an eyebrow.

Ruan Tang immediately replied, “For my mother and older siblings, I am very grateful that sir is willing to take them into the Duke’s manor and also hired doctors for them.”

Although it may be a small matter for Auston, this care and meticulousness made Ruan Tang unable to not be grateful…

When he was forced to agree to marry Auston, Ruan Tang thought he had jumped from one fire pit to another, and his whole life was about to despair. He didn’t expect that he would actually turn danger into safety. After marrying Auston, everything seemed to be slowly getting better and back on track, and he saw hope.

Although this alpha was crazy, moody, and feared by everyone, and didn’t like him, only treating him as a pet, he was really the best person Ruan Tang had ever met in his life.

After thinking about it, Ruan Tang decided to thank him.

Hearing that he was thanking him again and again for such trivial and boring things, Auston scoffed and asked, “Then how do you want to thank me?”

“Sir, how do you want me to thank you?” Ruan Tang looked at him with clear eyes, his eyes full of seriousness.

It was as if as long as Auston said it at this moment, no matter what, he would do his best to do it for Auston.

Auston originally wanted to joke with him and tease Ruan Tang a few words, but touching the sincerity in Ruan Tang’s eyes, he couldn’t say a joke at all. Wearily supporting his painful forehead, he suddenly remembered the way he had seen Ruan Tang often hugging a book while pretending to be a male servant. He immediately ordered, “You like to read so much, just pick a book that you often read and read it to me, I want to hear a bedtime story…”

Ruan Tang looked at Auston, whose face was full of fatigue and whose eyes had hidden red blood, and didn’t want the request of this crazy duke to be so childish.

However, perhaps those who seem crazy and eccentric, their inner world is actually very simple and pure.

Ruan Tang thought for a while, and immediately selected a fairy tale story from his personal terminal. In the dim light, he faced the eye protection mode on his personal terminal and read it aloud in his slow and clear voice: “Once upon a time, there was a kingdom, where lived a king and queen, and their newborn princess…”

Auston leaned on the pillow, closed his eyes, and listened to the beginning of Ruan Tang’s standard fairy tale story. He was about to complain that Ruan Tang was taking him for a naive child, did he think he was three years old?

But Ruan Tang’s voice was really too good to listen to. Listening to it, Auston was unconsciously fascinated.

Leaning on the pillow, he fell asleep unconsciously.

It turned out that this omega’s pheromones were not only useful to him and very soothing, but even his voice was so hypnotic, able to calm his mind, which was in a state of insomnia all year round.

This was the last thought that flashed in Auston’s mind before he fell asleep.

Seeing that he had closed his eyes and was breathing steadily, he should have fallen asleep. Ruan Tang immediately let out a sigh of relief, closed the personal terminal, and said softly to the alpha on the bed, “Good night.”

Seeing that Auston had not been awakened, he immediately tiptoed to turn off the lights and closed the door for Auston again.

“Your voice is very nice.” This was the first sentence Auston said to him when Ruan Tang woke up the next morning.
