Chapter Index
    The next day, the news that Zhou Yao had his legs broken by Marshal Zhou himself and was sent to the border overnight for experience spread throughout the Imperial Star.

    The news that Auston, because Zhou Yao harbored ill intentions towards Ruan Tang, forced the old marshal to send away his only son spread like wildfire throughout the Imperial Star, further proving Auston’s obsession and favor for Ruan Tang…

    At this moment, Wen Run, under the guise of visiting the rumored Miss Ruan who was his mother, paid a visit to the Auston Duke’s manor.

    However, after entering the mansion, he did not go to see Ruan Yue. Instead, he was led by the butler to Auston’s study. “Please, the Duke is waiting for the Chief in the study.”

    Wen Run nodded slightly, “Thank you.”

    Wen Run took a deep breath and stepped into Auston’s study.

    The study door immediately closed automatically, and even the butler who led him was dismissed and shielded by Auston.

    In the huge study, only Auston and Wen Run remained.

    Auston was still the same as before. The mask covered most of his face, making it impossible to see his expression, only revealing a pair of blue eyes conveying his emotions.

    At this moment, he was sitting lazily, hands clasped together, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Wen Run, filled with mockery and sarcasm. “Tell me, what brings Chief Wen to my humble abode? What are you here for this time?”

    “It can’t be that you’re here to persuade me to let go of my wife, just like Young Master Zhou, right?” He hated those people around Ruan Tang who clearly did something wrong and then regretted it and kept pestering Ruan Tang.

    However, even so, Wen Run coming to him alone was still somewhat unexpected.

    Looking at Auston’s crazy and arrogant appearance, Wen Run couldn’t imagine that this Bluebeard Duke, who seemed crazy but was actually a grasshopper in everyone’s eyes, doomed to die sooner or later, had secretly amassed such a powerful private army and accumulated such a strong force behind his back.

    However, if he hadn’t had some skills worth exploiting in his previous life and survived to the end, who would have imagined it?

    Perhaps Auston’s current appearance is also one of his disguises.

    This Alpha is truly deep and unfathomable. Looking at the man in front of him, who seems transparent at first glance but is actually bottomless, Wen Run suddenly felt a chill and had a slight illusion of seeking skin from a tiger.

    But for Ruan Tang’s sake, Wen Run still chose to step forward and sincerely said to Auston, “Wen Run is willing to be loyal to Your Highness. If Your Highness has any use for Wen Run in the future, Wen Run is willing to serve Your Highness and be at Your Highness’s disposal.”

    After Ruan Tang said he loved Auston, Wen Run pondered all night and finally made this decision.

    A good bird chooses a tree to nest in, and a wise minister chooses a lord to serve. Wen Run doesn’t know if being reborn will change the future, but this Alpha’s ability, scheming, and city, his forbearance, are unmatched by any of his brothers, and even the Empress Dowager is ashamed of herself in front of him.

    Wen Run believes in his ability, knowing that even if he can’t conquer this interstellar world and make the entire sea of stars prostrate at his feet in this life, he still has the ability to protect himself and dominate one side.

    Wen Run had been heartbroken by the struggle between the Research Institute and the aristocratic families of the Imperial Star in his previous life, and was extremely disappointed and disheartened by the corruption of the entire Empire…

    Now that he is reborn, since Ruan Tang, whom he owes the most, has recognized Auston and married him by mistake.

    Wen Run thinks that maybe this is God’s arrangement.

    Therefore, after careful consideration for one night, Wen Run decided to completely give up struggling and not try to change the future. He is willing to follow Auston, be loyal to him, and be his subordinate to protect Ruan Tang.

    Use his own strength and efforts to increase Ruan Tang’s weight in Auston’s heart and make Auston treat Ruan Tang better.

    “What joke is Chief Wen making? Chief is the Chief of the First Research Institute, a high-tech talent in charge of military industry…” Auston heard him say this suddenly, first squinting at him deeply, and then laughing wildly as if he had heard a joke. “I’m just a useless person, how can I make Chief Wen be loyal to me?”

    He was subtle, as if he was just a crazy person who enjoyed the power and freedom that the emperor gave him, without any ambition, doing whatever he wanted.

    Wen Run couldn’t help but sigh at his deep scheming in his heart once again, but he never exposed Auston’s identity.

    Rebirth is his umbrella, he doesn’t want others to know…

    “Whether Your Highness can use me or not, Wen Run is willing to follow Your Highness and be driven by Your Highness,” Wen Run said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

    In terms of military industry, he believes that he is already at the peak level of the Empire. He believes that even if Auston can’t use him now, he will definitely be able to use him in the future.

    “I’m a madman who controls the prison star, which has nothing to do with the Chief. What can the Chief follow me for? What can I drive the Chief for?” Auston raised his thin lips slightly, his attitude so cold that he could. “Or rather, what does the Chief want? What do you want to get from me?”

    Although he does have a place where he can use Wen Run, and his subordinates also advised him to get a talent like Wen Run, Auston just doesn’t like things that are offered to him.

    There is no free lunch.

    Wen Run knew his vigilance towards him, and he didn’t hide it. He said bluntly, “For Ruan Tang.”

    “For Ruan Tang?” Auston heard this and looked at him with great interest, a mocking arc curled up on his lips.

    Wen Run immediately said, “Yes, for Ruan Tang. Ruan Tang is wholeheartedly devoted to Your Highness. I hope Your Highness can treat him well in the future, even if it’s fake, don’t let him down.”

    He was reborn only to make Ruan Tang happy in this life, and to make all his wishes come true.

    “Chief Wen is really caring and affectionate towards my wife.” Auston chuckled. He was still laughing one second, but the next second his face changed suddenly. He slammed the table and overturned the things on the desk to the ground, staring at Wen Run’s eyes, and said angrily, “What are you? You dare to interfere in the affairs between my husband and wife? You once trampled him into the dust, but now you run to me and pretend to persuade me to treat him well. Don’t you think you’re ridiculous?”

    What he hates most is this kind of person. Belated guilt is not worthy of being called guilt at all.

    Wen Run was frightened by his unpredictable temper, his face changed slightly, but he still said, “I also know the principle that spilled water cannot be recovered, but Ruan Tang is my only sober blood relative in this world. I was blinded by hatred before and owed him a lot. I know I’m sorry for him and have no position to interfere in his affairs…”

    “But now, I still hope he can live well.” He met Auston’s terrifying eyes.

    Auston sneered, slowly opened his mouth, and said condescendingly, “The matter between me and him is not something you can control. I don’t need your loyalty either, get out, Chief Wen.”

    He yawned annoyedly…

    Wen Run also knew that his surrender could not succeed at once, so he nodded and said goodbye to Auston, “My heart will not change. If Your Highness has any use for Wen Run in the future, just ask, Wen Run will definitely go through fire and water without hesitation.”

    He is reborn in this life, just wanting to do his best to protect Ruan Tang, let him live well, and add bricks and tiles to his happiness…

    The two ended this conversation with their own thoughts.

    But Ruan Tang was unaware of this. At this moment, he was sitting in the palace with the Queen for dinner…

    “I heard that Auston drove Marshal Zhou’s only son out of the Imperial Star for you, and even forced the old marshal to break Zhou Yao’s legs. I have never seen Auston care so much about an Omega. You have to seize the opportunity to have a child…” The Queen grabbed Ruan Tang’s hand, still looking like she liked him very much, and repeated the same old tune.

    In the past, Ruan Tang only wanted to favor one corner and was unwilling to be a pawn. He only responded obediently to all the Queen’s words, but he didn’t show any traces in action. He also treated the Queen with superficial etiquette, without any closeness.

    But this time, he changed his past style, took the initiative to add tea to the Queen’s cup, pretended to be embarrassed, and whispered, “…Empress, I’m actually very scared.”

    “What’s wrong? Child, tell Empress what you’re afraid of?” The Queen didn’t expect that Ruan Tang, who used to be like a wooden stick and couldn’t get a fart out of him, would take the initiative to tell her these things, but she still asked with great concern.

    Ruan Tang is the best tool in the world in her eyes now, but this tool is not yet used by her, and she has to win over and win over him to subdue him.

    Ruan Tang didn’t speak, but looked nervously at the servants around.

    The Queen immediately waved her hand knowingly and dismissed the people around her, looking at him cautiously, “Can you talk now? Child.”

    “Duke Auston…makes me scared, and my current situation also makes me scared…” Ruan Tang bit his lip lightly, looking really scared.

    Ruan Xi, who used to be the center of attention, lost Zhou Yao, Ruan Ming’s protection, and instantly became nothing, scorned by everyone, and the real cause of his mother’s illness, as well as those annoying people’s repeated entanglements, completely made Ruan Tang realize the current situation and situation. It is impossible for him to live his life well with Auston, he must enter the game.

    And relying on other people’s favor and luck to follow the tide is even more impossible. He must find ways to master power himself in order to truly have an unshakable position.

    And the Duchess of Auston, who has enough opportunities to contact various politicians and powerful people, is his best opportunity.

    “…Auston is like that, Empress can understand your fear. But isn’t he very fond of you now? You take advantage of now and grit your teeth to get pregnant. If you don’t want to stay by his side, Empress will naturally help you move out to raise your baby…” Although the Queen couldn’t figure out what he was thinking, she could understand Ruan Tang’s fear when she thought of her eldest son, and she still took the opportunity to repeat the old saying, “When you give birth to the child, everything will be fine. You and I and my grandson will have everything in the entire Empire, and you will naturally become the most noble person…”

    Her ability to draw cakes in the air is very good.

    “But, Empress, will my future situation really be better with a child?” Ruan Tang suddenly raised his eyes and asked her.

    He is not a fool. Since the Queen wants to use him as a pawn, she must pay the corresponding price. It is impossible for a few words to make him risk his life for her and be driven by her…
