AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 42

Chapter 41

As family, Ruan Tang naturally hoped for conservative treatment without taking any risks. No matter what, even if the person couldn’t wake up, at least their life was still…

If the person was still alive, it would give the family a glimmer of hope, but if they died, there would be nothing left.

But for Ruan Yang, who had once been a celebrated figure on the interstellar battlefield, conquering on the battlefield, would he really be willing to lie there forever as a living dead person?

Ruan Tang fell into confusion and didn’t recover even after sending the doctor away with a heavy heart.

Auston quietly watched him, without saying a word.

“…Your Grace, if it were you, what would you choose?” After a while, Ruan Tang suddenly spoke, looking at Auston.

For some reason, whenever something happened now, Ruan Tang especially wanted to discuss it with Auston…

Although Auston usually acted wildly, this time he was surprisingly normal. Considering the question Ruan Tang raised, his eyes darkened slightly, and with a stern look, he said in a deep voice, “If I were like this, then it would be either death or life. I would never want to linger on like this, half-dead on the bed.”

Lying in bed asleep like a puppet, like Ruan Yang, was no different from death to him.

It would be better to take a chance and fight for it.

“Is that so?” Ruan Tang sighed softly, lost in thought.

If it were him, he would naturally feel that living like a living dead person was worse than death… But now, he was facing a choice not about his own life, but about the life of an important loved one…

Auston looked at him deeply, but did not respond.

Ruan Tang asked him for advice, and all he did was give him his own opinion. As for how Ruan Tang would choose, he had no intention of interfering or forcing him.

“Okay, I understand. Thank you for your advice, Your Grace.” However, Ruan Tang didn’t expect him to reply, but kept replaying every word the doctor said in his mind, unable to make a decision for a long time. “I will think about it carefully.”

This was a major decision he rarely encountered in his life –

He had to consider it carefully.

…

Ruan Ming’s birthday banquet was fast approaching. Before the banquet, he called several times, urging Ruan Tang to attend without fail.

Ruan Tang and Auston’s marriage represented the exchange of interests and marriage between the Ruan family and the Empress’s family.

Therefore, even if Ruan Tang and Ruan Ming had long lost their father-son relationship, he had to attend this banquet. Otherwise, the Empress would definitely be unhappy and exert pressure.

What she wanted was a son of the Ruan family to be the Duchess, not just any Omega.

As one of the most powerful marshals in the Empire, even though Ruan Ming was extremely undisciplined in his private life, countless dignitaries still flocked to his birthday banquet, dressed in gorgeous and elegant attire, to wish him a long life.

The entire Ruan Family Estate was bustling with activity.

Ruan Ming rarely wore a military uniform that highlighted his identity as an Imperial Marshal on such occasions, looking radiant and full of joy. Although he was a bit chubby, many people could still see the demeanor of the Empire’s number one handsome man from his face.

Ruan Tang arrived at the banquet venue very punctually. However, Ruan Ming also knew that Ruan Tang had a bad relationship with him. To avoid Ruan Tang embarrassing him on such occasions by confronting him and making him unable to step down, creating an awkward scene, he did not come forward to talk to Ruan Tang after exchanging polite greetings with Ruan Tang and Auston.

He didn’t want to bother Ruan Tang and show off his fatherly love.

At this banquet, Ruan Ming focused all his attention on Wen Run, frequently showing his favor to him.

Although Ruan Tang refused to help him, and Wen Run also ignored him, as one of the most influential figures in the Imperial Star, Ruan Ming also had his own channels. After obtaining Wen Run’s genetic sample through some unknown means and confirming that he was the child Ruan Yue had back then.

“Chief Wen, I heard that you like art and are fond of ancient Chinese culture from the ancient Earth period.” Ruan Ming almost unabashedly expressed his unusual closeness to Wen Run in front of everyone. “I happen to have a traditional ink painting that is said to be left over from that time. Come and take a look later. If you like it, just take it, how about it?”

Traditional ink paintings left over from the ancient Earth period were priceless antiques. Just taking out one at random could fetch a sky-high price.

Ruan Ming was now going to give such a precious thing to Wen Run as a casual gift. Everyone looked at him in astonishment…

Ruan Ming still looked at Wen Run with a smile, his face full of love.

Ruan Tang was not surprised at all by this scene. He knew his father too well.

Wen Run was so promising, and now that the mystery of his background had been exposed on the Imperial Star, it was not surprising that Ruan Ming wanted to recognize this grandson.

“Marshal Ruan is joking. Traditional ink paintings from the ancient Earth period are so precious. Such a valuable gift, even if the marshal intends to give it, how can a junior like Wen Run afford it?” Wen Run was neither humble nor arrogant about this. He could remain unmoved by the flattery and enticement of such a high-ranking family head as Ruan Ming.

He would never forget how his father died.

Ruan Ming didn’t care about his cold face at all, as if he wanted to make up for all the guilt and love he felt for his daughter back then to Wen Run: “Since I said I would give it to you, what can you not afford? Besides, I didn’t buy this ink painting. I don’t understand that stuff at all. It was taken by my beloved daughter Ruan Yue back then…”

“If Chief Wen feels that he can’t afford it, my daughter Xiaoyue lost a child back then. If he were still alive, he should be about the same age as the Chief… If Chief Wen doesn’t mind, how about recognizing my daughter as a godmother?” Ruan Ming smiled and wanted to take advantage of the superficial effort of recognizing a godparent to naturally bring back this grandson: “Presumably, having Chief Wen call her godmother will definitely make up for my daughter’s pain of losing her child back then.”

When everyone heard this, they all remembered the rumors about Wen Run’s background on the Imperial Star recently, and guessed that Ruan Ming’s favor with such valuable things was just to pave the way for recognizing this grandson.

However, that was also true. Although Wen Run was an illegitimate child, his mother was Ruan Ming’s own daughter.

Your grandfather may not necessarily be your grandfather, but your maternal grandfather must be your maternal grandfather. It was reasonable for Ruan Ming to want to recognize this grandson.

When Ruan Ming’s other children heard this, they were all mad with jealousy. They didn’t expect their father to value a grandson so much, and he could give such valuable things to Wen Run as if they were small gifts…

It was said that Ruan Ming’s most beloved child back then was his eldest daughter Ruan Yue. Now it seemed that this was indeed true, otherwise, how could he love a grandson to such an extent?

It seemed that another person would appear in the huge Ruan family to compete with them for the family property.

Ruan Ming’s unloved children, who didn’t know how much money they would be able to get in the future, all glared at Wen Run with gritted teeth.

Wen Run was extremely indifferent to this, unmoved: “…Marshal is joking. How can Wen Run be worthy of the noble status of Miss Ruan?”

Ruan Ming’s smile froze, and he changed his words and said with a smile, “I was being presumptuous, please forgive me for my love for my daughter.”

Being able to get to where he was today, Ruan Ming was a very observant person. Seeing that Wen Run would not let him get his wish today, he immediately stopped mentioning it so as not to destroy the atmosphere of the banquet.

The entire banquet continued with singing and dancing, and Ruan Ming went to interact with other people who came to celebrate his birthday.

Throughout the banquet, Ruan Tang minimized his presence. He had a bad relationship with Ruan Ming, and he couldn’t be either sociable or talk and laugh with people at such a banquet…

“Your Grace, please try this, Your Grace, please try that, it’s very delicious…” The only thing he could do was sit next to Auston, whose face was very stinky, and pick up food for him from time to time.

He was constantly controlling Auston, who could go crazy at any time because of the noisy banquet venue, so that he wouldn’t go crazy.

Auston looked at Ruan Tang, who had been showing him great diligence recently, and frowned tightly. He immediately had a bad premonition, which made him feel very annoyed just thinking about it.

He frowned and said to Ruan Tang in a bad mood, “Okay, okay, don’t pick up any more for me. I don’t want to eat anything at all. I don’t want to eat anything.”

He didn’t know why Ruan Tang was doing this…

Just thinking about it made his head hurt.

His attitude was extremely impatient, but Ruan Tang didn’t feel anything at all. He knew that Auston had severe anorexia and rarely ate. He was also very impatient with eating. Most of the time, he would inject a nutrient solution to solve the problem when he felt like he was about to die…

Ruan Tang felt that this habit was not good and was not good for his health, so he decided to change him.

Ruan Tang forcibly picked up the dishes that he thought were delicious and put them in his bowl, and said unreasonably, “But I want you to eat, I want to share the good taste that I think is good with you.”

Auston looked at him, and felt a splitting headache, but in front of so many people, he couldn’t embarrass Ruan Tang, so he could only frown and put the dishes that Ruan Tang had put in his bowl into his mouth, and ordered disgustedly, “Okay, I’ve already eaten it, you’re not allowed to pick up any more for me later.”

He himself didn’t know where he got so much patience with this omega.

Obviously…

If he asked this omega for a divorce, he would definitely cry, right?

Ruan Tang watched him eat obediently, and immediately raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, as if he was coaxing a child, “Okay.”

The people around were incredulous when they saw Auston’s hypocrisy. His face was full of disgust for Ruan Tang, but his behavior was very obedient.

They didn’t expect that Auston’s love for Ruan Tang had reached a new level after only a few days. Ruan Tang was really riding on his head.

After the exposure of Ruan Xi’s matter earlier, some people regretted it and said that Ruan Tang was really a pity. He was harmed by Ruan Xi and missed the two good marriage partners, and had to marry the Bluebeard Duke, who was like a devil.

But now, seeing Ruan Tang and Auston living so well after their marriage –

They felt that Ruan Tang was really lucky and was able to live so well in what everyone thought was a bad situation. It was really a good marriage by mistake.

Everyone at the banquet had different thoughts.

Zhou Yao sat in the corner and poured wine into his mouth cup after cup. Recalling the information about this parallel world that he had obtained during this period, watching Ruan Tang carefully picking up food for Auston, while the Bluebeard Duke was dismissive of Ruan Tang and even looked disgusted, he only felt extremely dazzling.

He didn’t believe, and he didn’t want to believe that even if he came again, he and Ruan Tang would have missed each other like this…

Even if he and Ruan Tang missed each other, it would have been fine if Ruan Tang was doing well.

After he was reborn, everyone and the information he got told him that this Bluebeard was extremely good to Ruan Tang, and Ruan Tang was very happy with him. Only then did Zhou Yao forcibly suppress the breath in his heart and didn’t go to Ruan Tang, and restrained himself from destroying Ruan Tang’s current happiness.

But now, watching Ruan Tang being humble and careful to serve Auston, while Auston looked at Ruan Tang with all kinds of disgust, he couldn’t convince himself that Ruan Tang was doing well.

Ruan Tang was the most beautiful and best angel in the world.

This Auston, disfigured, disabled, and perverted, except for a royal identity, where could he be worthy of Ruan Tang?

Moreover, even if he had a royal identity, when the rebel leader Lucifer led his army into the Imperial Star, this useless, trashy, and perverted Alpha would probably not be able to protect him, right?

No, that’s not right. In his previous life, Auston Camille didn’t even live to the time when Lucifer’s army invaded the Imperial Star.

Zhou Yao didn’t know how big the difference between this parallel world and his original world was, and he didn’t know if there would be any changes in the future, but he knew that except for Ruan Tang, Ruan Xi, and the things around him in the Imperial Star that were very different from his previous life, the occurrence of other major events outside the Imperial Star had not changed at all –

Although the prosperous Imperial Star was still singing and dancing, the rebellion launched by Lucifer, the rebel leader known as the Morning Star by the poor, had already occurred several times in the Empire’s territory outside the Imperial Star.

And because of the poor and Beta’s admiration for them, the ‘Hell Legion’ led by Lucifer was still expanding its scale in the Empire and could not be resisted.

Advanced civilizations were martial, and the powerful rulers must have ambitions to make this era of power pass on to their descendants for thousands of generations.

It was normal for the imperial system to revive in the interstellar era.

The long-term imperial system led to obvious class divisions, creating corruption and inequality. Whenever resistance and troubled times arose, a new strongest person would appear to reshuffle all political forces and become the master of this interstellar world. This was also a normal time.

All indications showed that even in this parallel world, unless someone could turn the tide, the fate of the Dias Empire would be exhausted.

What did Auston Camille rely on?

Where could he be worthy of Ruan Tang?

Zhou Yao squeezed the wine glass in his hand, not knowing how he could change the status quo. He was extremely depressed and painful about the fact that Ruan Tang was already married.

Even if Auston would die soon and eventually lose all power, status, and royal identity –

He still couldn’t do anything to him now.

“Brother Zhou!” Just then, Ruan Xi, who had finally been discharged from the hospital and recovered from his injuries, saw Zhou Yao from a distance and rushed towards him with a bright smile.

After suffering a backlash last time, Ruan Xi’s vitality was greatly damaged, and even his lifespan was running out… To save his life, Ruan Xi had to work hard for it.

In the original book, Ruan Tang didn’t choose his partner in the end. Zhou Yao was one of the Alphas who admired Ruan Tang. He was originally the pursuer of Ruan Xi, the original vicious male supporting character brother of Ruan Tang. Because the original Ruan Xi repeatedly provoked Ruan Tang, he was slapped in the face by Ruan Tang and fell in love with Ruan Tang’s personality, saw through the true face of the original Ruan Xi, and fell in love with Ruan Tang. This was a character setting.

Because he was hypocritical, knew his mistakes and could correct them, and was sunny and cheerful, he was very popular with readers.

Because he was originally a lover of the original Ruan Xi, Ruan Xi did a few things to prevent him from falling in love with Ruan Tang, which instead deepened his misunderstanding of Ruan Tang. It didn’t take much effort to make him stand on his side and become one of the golden fingers he could use.

These days, he didn’t know why Zhou Yao suddenly ignored him, but he believed that Zhou Yao’s IQ was very easy to deceive and wouldn’t see through his true colors.

He couldn’t lose this important ‘admirer’, so when he saw Zhou Yao, he rushed over to find him without thinking.

He walked towards Zhou Yao, about to complain to him.

When Zhou Yao saw Ruan Xi, his face darkened. Thinking of the tragic ending he caused to Ruan Tang in his previous life, and in this life, he harmed Ruan Tang by marrying Auston, the evil ghost. Thinking of his deception of himself, new hatred and old hatred poured into his heart, and he directly pushed Ruan Xi away and said angrily, “Get out! What are you, how dare you touch me?”

The sudden change surprised everyone present.

Zhou Yao’s pursuit and care for Ruan Xi was obvious to everyone in the entire Imperial Star. For him, Zhou Yao didn’t hesitate to break off the engagement with Ruan Tang, hurt Ruan Tang again and again, and protected Ruan Xi. What was going on now? What was the situation? Zhou Yao didn’t protect Ruan Xi and treated him like this.

Could it be that Zhou Yao finally saw through Ruan Xi’s true face and turned from a fan to a hater?

Everyone had the intention of watching the excitement.

Faced with such a sudden change, Ruan Tang looked in the direction of the sound and was directly dumbfounded when he saw Zhou Yao attacking Ruan Xi like a madman at the slightest disagreement. He didn’t know how Zhou Yao, this idiot, suddenly stopped protecting his beloved baby and instead quarreled with Ruan Xi.

But this time, the excitement related to Ruan Xi was finally nothing to do with him.

He could finally stay out of it and be a melon-eating crowd with peace of mind.

“Brother… Brother Zhou, what’s wrong with you?” Ruan Xi was stunned by the push, and fell to the ground for a long time and couldn’t get up. He looked at Zhou Yao in disbelief, and didn’t know why the other party suddenly became like this, not playing his cards according to common sense, and didn’t come over to comfort himself like in the past.

Zhou Yao looked at him coldly with a heartbroken and tearful look and didn’t speak.

Ruan Xi immediately cried pitifully and sobbed, “Brother Zhou, did you hear something? Do you also think I’m that kind of person and no longer believe me? I’m really not, Brother Zhou, you believe me, believe me, are you also going to misunderstand me like those people?”

He desperately tried to sell miserably and be pitiful.
