Chapter Index
    Auston’s eyes darkened when he heard this, but he refused Kyle’s suggestion outright: “There’s no need to try. I know my condition when I’m having an episode. Unless there’s an Omega in this world whose pheromone compatibility with me reaches 100%, what’s the point even if we have 95% compatibility?”

    “When I have an episode, I can’t even control myself. He’s so useless and weak; killing him would be a matter of a moment…”

    Auston would never even consider telling Ruan Tang, such a delicate and weak Omega, about his condition, or putting him in danger to save him.

    Kyle knew Auston didn’t want to hear it, but he still didn’t give up trying to persuade him: “I can tell that Madam likes you very much, Sir. Then why don’t you mark Madam and make him your Omega?”

    The pheromone compatibility between an Alpha and an Omega has a certain chance of increasing after they mark each other.

    The compatibility between Ruan Tang and Auston is already 95%. He could see that Ruan Tang liked Auston, and Auston also liked Ruan Tang. So, even if Auston wasn’t willing to put Ruan Tang in danger, why not try it?

    What if such a high compatibility could actually be raised even further?

    “Kyle, you should know that I never want to mark any Omega.”

    Auston hated the bestial estrus of Alpha-Omega relationships, and he also hated how the drive of pheromones would turn normally decent people into estrous beasts, devoid of reason and only wanting to mate… Even though Alphas occupied the absolute dominant position in Alpha-Omega relationships, the aggressive side of conquest and plunder, Auston also hated it…

    The act of marking, of branding one person with another’s mark, was something that made Auston feel disgusted and repulsed.

    Therefore, in all his years, he had never considered mutually bonding and marking with an Omega.

    “But Madam likes you very much…” Kyle didn’t know what to say.

    Auston frowned: “So what if he likes me?”

    Was he such an Alpha that people could get him so easily?

    “Perhaps, you could try not to see Madam as an Omega, but as someone who simply likes you, someone who wants to be your partner…” As Auston’s confidant, Kyle understood his concerns and his aversion to the pheromonal entanglement between Alphas and Omegas, which stemmed from his childhood trauma.

    But he still wanted to persuade Auston, because he could see that Ruan Tang was very special to Auston.

    Auston was silent for a long time before speaking: “My great work is not yet complete. How can I think of a family? Before our victory arrives, I have never considered these personal matters.”

    Whether he liked Ruan Tang or not, it didn’t matter.

    Before achieving his ideals, Auston never intended to think about such things, let alone have a relationship with anyone.

    Kyle frowned deeply, wanting to say something more.

    “Besides, what good would it do to burden him with someone like me, with this body?” Auston looked at the wheelchair beneath him and smiled self-deprecatingly: “I don’t even know if I can succeed, and even if I do, how long I can live?”

    The complete marking between an Alpha and Omega would accompany the Omega for life. For an Omega who had been completely marked, whether they underwent surgery to remove the mark or their Alpha died, they would suffer extremely serious mental and physical trauma and pain.

    Auston knew that he was walking a difficult and uncertain path, the most dangerous path in the world. And his body had such irreversible flaws, and the turbulence in his spiritual sea, without an Omega whose pheromone compatibility reached 100%, he didn’t even know how long he could live, how much time he had left?

    But Ruan Tang was like the newly rising sun, his life was full of hope, constantly getting better, and it would be even better after leaving him.

    Even if he was his partner in name, Auston didn’t want to drag him into his muddy waters, to follow him on the most difficult path.

    Whether Ruan Tang truly liked him or it was just an illusion…

    Auston felt that from the moment his body became like this, it was already destined that he could only be a fleeting passerby in this Omega’s long life.

    “Sir…” Kyle was stunned and looked deeply at Auston, unable to speak.

    Auston averted his gaze and turned on the air purification system to clear the remaining scent of Ruan Tang’s pheromones from the air in his room: “You don’t need to say such things again in the future. I don’t want to hear them either.”

    His will could not be swayed by anyone.

    After that day, although Auston and Ruan Tang were both in the Duke’s mansion, Auston suddenly disappeared from Ruan Tang’s life. He no longer absorbed Ruan Tang on time every day, nor did he have breakfast with Ruan Tang. Even when Ruan Tang eagerly went to Auston’s room at night to find him, he couldn’t find anyone.

    And when he asked the servants, no matter who he asked, he only got an “I don’t know” answer.

    Ruan Tang had rejected many people who were interested in him but whom he had no interest in, so he wasn’t surprised by Auston’s decision to avoid him.

    He was convinced that Auston was interested in him, but he just didn’t know why he refused to be with him.

    Therefore, even now, he hadn’t given up on this idea.

    Having declared that he would pursue Auston, but then not being able to see Auston, Ruan Tang wasn’t discouraged, nor did he give up on his pursuit of Auston.

    He had Auston’s communication number, so he directly used a roundabout approach and changed to another way of pursuing him.

    He began to harass and bombard Auston with messages.

    “Sir, are you afraid of me? Why are you hiding for no reason?”

    “You’re an Alpha, yet you’re hiding from me, an Omega, like a hooligan. Don’t you find it funny yourself?”

    “Or do you actually know that you actually like me, but you’re afraid to admit it, so you don’t want to face me and choose to flee without a fight? Don’t you think you’re a coward?”

    “You don’t like someone, but you’re so nice to them, deliberately creating illusions, and then you’re not willing to take responsibility for them after they fall in love with you. It’s a very scummy and bitchy behavior…”

    “I feel like I’ve been played by you.”

    Ruan Tang sent a series of messages and then sent several crying emoticons, pretending to be a plaything abandoned and questioning a scumbag.

    But Auston, who used to explode easily and was easily provoked, this time, no matter how Ruan Tang provoked him, he seemed to have completely disappeared, not replying to Ruan Tang with a single word.

    As a suitor who was being treated so coldly by the other party, Ruan Tang was still quite calm and collected, as if he had expected it.

    It was Auston, who had been unresponsive, who looked at these numerous messages and the several crying emoticons Ruan Tang had sent at the end, biting his teeth and using all his strength to hold back from replying to Ruan Tang.

    Looking at the crying emoticons Ruan Tang sent, he unconsciously imagined this delicate and annoying Omega being cold-shouldered by him and hiding in a corner, looking pitiful and sad, crying like he had been abandoned. He frowned, not knowing what to do.

    Auston didn’t want to reply to Ruan Tang, afraid that he would give him hope and wrong signals again, but he couldn’t just ignore Ruan Tang.

    His expression darkened, and he summoned his chief secretary: “Vincent, why are Omegas such a hassle? He wouldn’t really go and cry somewhere, would he?”

    Auston showed the messages Ruan Tang had sent to his exclusive Omega-raising guide, Secretary Vincent.

    “…Sir, Madam’s level is higher than yours.” Vincent took a look at the few simple messages that had made Auston so agitated and gave this evaluation.

    Auston rolled his eyes at him: “How is that possible? Do you even know how to read people? Is your claim of being the most knowledgeable Alpha in the world about Omegas fake?”

    “I advise you to just lie down and give up resisting. Just submit.” Vincent didn’t know what Auston’s problem was, being so good to Ruan Tang but unwilling to be with him. He also didn’t know why he was still insisting when he cared so much about Ruan Tang, and could only judge that Auston was sick and would eventually submit, giving the following advice.

    Auston completely lost trust in him and directly threw a book at him: “Get out!”

    “Yes!”

    Vincent dutifully responded and rolled out, cursing inwardly: “Grass mud horse!”

    His Sir was indeed sick, and seriously sick…

    After driving Vincent out, Auston calmed down a lot. He carefully reread the messages Ruan Tang had sent, analyzed them in detail, and still sensed a sense of feigning pitifulness and using a provocative tactic. He immediately sneered and minimized the chat window on his personal terminal.

    He would see what other tricks Ruan Tang could play.

    However, Ruan Tang didn’t continue to play pitiful with him. Instead, he started sharing some particularly trivial things in his life with Auston.

    “This is my breakfast today. Without you eating with me, my food doesn’t taste good.”

    “I encountered some problems at work today. I don’t know how to solve them. No one is willing to teach me. I don’t know what to do.”

    “I miss Simba a little, but no one will take me to see him.”

    Auston still didn’t reply to Ruan Tang, as if he had completely blocked him and couldn’t see his messages.

    But Ruan Tang found that the trivial troubles he had sent through messages to tell Auston were all resolved soon after he sent them.

    The problems that troubled him were quickly solved by someone who took the initiative to come to him and help him.

    When he returned home, the servant in charge of raising the beasts in the mansion came forward and said to Ruan Tang: “Madam, would you like to see the lions in the menagerie? I’ll take you there. I’ll protect you.”

    Ruan Tang responded in a low voice: “Okay.”

    The corners of his lips gently curved upwards. He knew that although Auston hadn’t replied to him with a single word, the messages he had sent hadn’t fallen on deaf ears. Auston had read them all.

    Auston was still that Bluebeard Duke who would actively give him whatever he wanted.
