AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 84
by VolareRuan Tang groggily opened his eyes and saw Auston anxiously watching him by his bedside, his eyes filled with starlight. He was initially a little grumpy from waking up so suddenly, but looking at Auston, he inexplicably felt a little sweetness in his heart.
He had finally gotten his wish and obtained the person he had longed for day and night.
As soon as Auston saw him wake up, he happily pecked him lightly on the corner of his lips and asked worriedly, “You’re awake? Does it still hurt?”
Ruan Tang was reminded of their crazy entanglement last night, and his face flushed instantly.
The feeling of being entangled with the one he loved was more wonderful than he had imagined, but they had indulged and made too much noise last night after all. Even now, just thinking about it made Ruan Tang feel so embarrassed that he was going crazy.
“Does it still hurt?” But Auston was overexcited and couldn’t understand Ruan Tang’s shy mood at the moment. He grabbed Ruan Tang and asked again.
As if confirming that Ruan Tang was really alright.
He always felt that he was controlled by pheromones and bestiality last night and did too much… afraid that Ruan Tang would be uncomfortable.
“…It’s okay, I don’t hurt.” Ruan Tang looked at his anxious expression and saw that he was determined to get to the bottom of it, so he suppressed the embarrassment in his heart. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still shook his head reservedly.
Auston breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him shake his head.
After a while, he stared at Ruan Tang, but asked nervously and uncertainly, “Then do you regret it?”
Looking at Ruan Tang, who had been chasing after him relentlessly before he got him, and suddenly became reserved after being with him, Auston felt a little aggrieved and became very uneasy, worrying that Ruan Tang would regret being with him.
Ruan Tang then realized that the ALPHA in front of him, who seemed tall and fierce, was actually very girlish. If he didn’t pay attention to him, he would start to overthink and come up with countless scenarios in his head. He didn’t have the right to be shy or embarrassed in front of him at all.
He quickly grabbed Auston’s hand, interlaced his fingers with his, and said in a very soft but clear voice, “How could I? I feel very happy now.”
“My lord, I don’t know how I should treat you in the future, but I swear I will treat you well. I will be responsible for you.” This was the most sincere and simple promise he could give.
Ruan Tang was still a little confused about how he and Auston had reached the point of hitting a home run last night, even though he had been moving towards that goal.
But they were finally truly together.
From now on, they would be a true couple in name and in fact.
Getting Ruan Tang’s affirmative promise and being held tightly by Ruan Tang’s hand, Auston immediately breathed a sigh of relief, gently rubbed Ruan Tang’s cheek, and giggled foolishly.
But after being happy for a while, he seemed to feel that something was wrong again, so he coughed lightly and corrected, “…No, that’s not right, it should be that I will treat you well in the future, I will be responsible for you.”
This Omega was really… did he even know how to talk?
He was stealing all his lines, it was simply too much.
“Okay, okay, I’ll wait for you to treat me well and be responsible for me in the future.” Ruan Tang looked at him like this and felt that he was incredibly cute. He turned over, got out of bed, and pounced into Auston’s arms, hugging him and pecking him lightly on the scar on his face.
Auston caught him and hugged him tightly, only then satisfied, “That’s more like it.”
Ruan Tang leaned on his shoulder and suddenly said, “My lord, I love you.”
Once the words “I love you” were spoken once, it seemed that saying them two or three times was no longer difficult.
“…Okay, okay, I know. Why are you saying it so many times?” Auston was so happy that his tail was almost wagging, kissing and biting Ruan Tang’s back neck gland, but his mouth was still stubbornly denying it.
Really, how could this Omega like him so much?
It was all because he was too charming.
Ruan Tang was used to him like this, so he didn’t mind. He just hugged him tighter and asked in his ear, “Then, do you love me? I’ve said ‘I love you’ so many times, but my lord doesn’t seem to have ever told me that you love me?”
Although he already knew the answer in his heart, he still wanted to hear Auston say it himself.
“I… of course I love you. If I didn’t love you, how could I…” Auston didn’t expect him to ask this question, his face flushed instantly. Although he was embarrassed, he still honestly replied, “Why would you ask that?”
He was not an Alpha that anyone could easily obtain. So many Omegas sent by the Empress had not even touched him.
If he didn’t love Ruan Tang, how could he be with Ruan Tang?
Ruan Tang had known this answer for a long time, but his heart was still sweetened by these words. Like a lazy kitten, he rubbed against Auston’s shoulder and asked, “Then when did my lord start to love me?”
“At first sight, I fell in love with you the moment I saw you.” Auston bit his lip slightly, squeezing out the difficult sweet words from between his teeth.
Alas, Omegas were such a troublesome thing, they liked to hear these sweet words.
But since Ruan Tang wanted to hear them, what could he do?
He could only go along with him.
Ruan Tang hugged him and continued to be affectionate, “Really? I don’t like to hear lies.”
“Of course it’s true.” Auston didn’t hesitate.
From the first moment he saw Ruan Tang, he already felt that Omegas were special to him. Auston didn’t know if this was love at first sight, but he had always felt that Ruan Tang was different from others.
“I knew it, my lord.” Ruan Tang also felt that Auston had been quite special to him from the beginning.
Hearing the title “my lord” again at this moment, Auston felt it was unpleasant, feeling it wasn’t close enough. He frowned and said to Ruan Tang, “Don’t call me ‘my lord’ anymore.”
“Then what should I call you? Honey? Sweetheart? Little cutie? My darling?” Ruan Tang blurted out all kinds of nauseating names. He always felt that too many people called Auston by his name, which seemed too distant and not special at all.
Auston was teased until his face turned red, and after a long silence, he said, “You should still call me Seth.”
“Isn’t that your alias?” Ruan Tang asked in confusion.
Auston paused for a while before saying, as if reminiscing about something, “That’s my given name when I was a child. When I was very, very young, my parents used to call me that…”
The parents he spoke of were not the current high and mighty Emperor and Empress, but the image of his parents who had loved him deeply when he was a child.
Ruan Tang hugged him tightly, inexplicably feeling a little sadness for him.
“Later, when I met you, you asked me what my name was, and I answered you with this name as if guided by fate… I think, maybe this is also a kind of fate, everything is the best arrangement from heaven.” Auston said again after a while.
Ruan Tang immediately hugged his back and called out this name with incomparable seriousness, “Seth.”
Auston might no longer be the Emperor and Empress’s Seth, but from now on, he would always be his Seth.
Auston hugged him back and asked softly, “Call it again.”
In the past, Ruan Tang had called him Seth countless times, but he didn’t feel like he was calling him. Only at this moment did he feel that Ruan Tang was calling him.
“Seth.” Ruan Tang immediately fulfilled his request.
Auston was happy, “Call it again.”
“Seth.”
“Seth.”
“Seth.”
…
At the same time, in the Shen family, Shen Mozhi woke up from the bed, sitting on the bed in a daze, desperately merging the memories of his two lives.
He never thought that he would be reborn, that he could be reborn.
And this rebirth still happened after everything was irreversible, water under the bridge… For him, it seemed to have no meaning, no, no, it still had meaning…
No matter what the situation, at least the person he cared about was still doing well, allowing him to know that he was still there.
And living well, completely different from the loneliness and desolation of the previous life.
Shen Mozhi was the illegitimate son of the head of the Shen family, one of the ten major families. However, strictly speaking, the identity of the illegitimate son was not entirely accurate, because his mother was originally the Shen family head’s betrothed, his childhood sweetheart. Later, because his family declined, she was ruthlessly abandoned by the Shen family head, who married the daughter of another prestigious family.
At that time, his mother was already pregnant with Shen Mozhi, and because of her poor health, she couldn’t have an abortion.
From childhood, his mother repeatedly told Shen Mozhi how the Shen family head had used her family’s status to seize the position of heir to the Shen family, and then ruthlessly abandoned her. She told him to take revenge, to take back everything that originally belonged to him, and instilled all the hatred and hope in him.
When he was five years old, his mother passed away. Before her death, she entrusted him to Shen’s grandfather to raise and sent him back to the Shen family.
But after returning to the Shen family, he didn’t have a good life. The Shen family head ignored him, and Shen’s grandfather also treated him indifferently. The Shen family’s son ridiculed him as an illegitimate child, and from childhood, he colluded with the other children of the Shen family to bully him, tearing his homework, killing his pets, putting dirty things in his food…
All the children of similar age in the aristocratic circle were jointly bullying him. Shen Mozhi once felt that his life was completely dark and wanted to commit suicide.
Until once, when he was beaten half to death, an Omega child younger than him saved him, extended a helping hand to him, and said to him, “As long as you live, there is hope.”
“Only by walking out of the shadows and obsessions of the past can you live better in the future. One day, when he has the ability, he will step on those who have bullied him.”
That boy was also an unloved child in a large family.
Since then, after Shen Mozhi recovered, he found a little bit of light in his dark life.
He regarded that boy as the only light and warmth in his bleak life. Whenever he couldn’t hold on, as long as he thought of that boy, he could find endless motivation to move forward.
The boy only shone for a moment, but dispelled all the coldness in his entire body.
Shen Mozhi once swore that he must find him in the future, repay him, give him everything he wanted, and hold this like-minded boy in his palm and spoil him to the sky.
For so many years, he had been working hard to fulfill his childhood promise. When he didn’t have as much as he does now, his grandfather had repeatedly advised him to marry the Omega of a prominent family to increase his own assistance and bargaining chips, but thinking of that boy, he refused again and again…
And after he had enough power, the first thing he did was to find that boy in his memory…
At that time, he was too young, and his memory had long been blurred. He didn’t remember which family the boy was from. He only remembered that he was like-minded and was also a child of a noble family. According to the clues of the year, he searched and investigated the Omega boys of similar age who participated in that banquet in the countless noble families of Imperial Star…
Finally, he found the Ruan family and found Ruan Tang…
When he first found Ruan Tang, although he had tested him several times, Ruan Tang couldn’t remember many of the things that happened that year, Shen Mozhi was very sure that he was the boy of that year, so he chose to get engaged to him.
But unexpectedly, Ruan Xi suddenly appeared—
Ruan Xi found him and recounted the events of that year to him in detail, telling him that he was his savior, and Ruan Tang was just an imposter.
Shen Mozhi didn’t believe Ruan Xi at first, but in the face of the conclusive evidence Ruan Xi presented, coupled with Ruan Tang’s repeated harm to Ruan Xi as evidence of his deep scheming, Shen Mozhi had to believe it.
Shen Mozhi’s greatest obsession in life was the boy who saved him that year. For this reason, he mercilessly hurt Ruan Tang again and again for Ruan Xi, causing him to lose face and pushing him to the bottom.
He severely retaliated against this liar who impersonated his savior.
But he didn’t know that his savior had really been impersonated.
It was just that the liar was not Ruan Tang, but Ruan Xi…
Shen Mozhi learned the truth after his family encountered a huge difficulty and was targeted by enemies, along with Ruan Xi. At that time, he was thinking of Ruan Xi and planned to send Ruan Xi away from Imperial Star, but Ruan Xi was intercepted by his enemies on the way. The enemies wanted to threaten him with Ruan Xi’s life to force him to hand over the family secrets.
He pretended to negotiate with the enemies.
But Ruan Xi was frightened and, in order to beg that person to let him go, said that he was not his savior at all, that he had never saved him, and that he had impersonated Ruan Tang.
Shen Mozhi was stunned on the spot at that time.
Ruan Xi spoke without thinking, pushing all the blame onto Ruan Tang, but Shen Mozhi could see from his eyes that what he said was true.
He had really mistaken his savior.
How ridiculous.
He, Shen Mozhi, had been wholeheartedly wanting to repay his kindness, giving the best of everything to his benefactor, but he had been deceived by Ruan Xi and had almost pushed his benefactor into a desperate situation.
Knowing the truth, Shen Mozhi couldn’t wait to kill himself.
At the beginning of their engagement, Ruan Tang had had a good impression of him, and he had been very moved by Ruan Tang. He admitted that even if Ruan Tang was not his benefactor, he had purely been moved by this Omega, but he had never felt this way about Ruan Xi, apart from the identity of the benefactor.
But all of this was defeated by Ruan Xi’s deception and the so-called fabricated evidence… He was blinded by his inner obsession and ultimately hurt the person he wanted to repay the most.
Shen Mozhi still doesn’t know how Ruan Xi knew everything that happened between him and Ruan Tang, even everything that Ruan Tang can’t remember clearly… But thinking of all this, he only felt like a sharp knife was inserted into his chest, cutting his heart inch by inch.
Especially, knowing that in this world where he was reborn, all the story nodes had not changed, except that Ruan Tang had married and married Auston, Shen Mozhi looked at himself in the mirror and laughed mockingly.
“Sir, Ruan Xi is crying and making a fuss at the police station, asking to see you. Are we going to see him?” Just then, Shen Mozhi’s assistant called and brought news of Ruan Xi.
Shen Mozhi took a deep breath, his eyes gradually turned cold, but he laughed, “Okay, he wants to see me? Go see him, of course I’m going to see him.”
He was sorry to Ruan Tang and had no face to face Ruan Tang…
But for Ruan Xi, the bitch who had cheated him in two lifetimes, since he still had the face to ask to see him, he would naturally go to see him.
If he didn’t see him, how could he relieve the hatred in his heart?
