    Chapter 86

    Ruan Xi fell into a state of extreme madness. In his fantasy, all the top Alphas in the world were in love with him. Ruan Tang was trampled into the dust and tortured to death by Auston, the pervert. Tang Yun and Ruan Yang didn’t even have a chance to wake up. The entire Ruan family, everything in the interstellar space, was his…

    He raved madly while being taken back to his cell by the prison guard.

    Ruan Tang was completely unaware of all this. He only learned about Ruan Xi’s sudden death several hours later…

    After finding out, that was that. He didn’t feel even a trace of emotion about this person’s death.

    After a busy day, it was already very late when he returned home.

    “Chairman Ruan is so busy with important affairs that he comes home later and later, and cares less and less about me.” Auston grumbled unhappily as soon as he saw him.

    Seeing this, Ruan Tang immediately curved the corners of his mouth and smiled, “I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect it to be so late today… I made you wait for me. Have you eaten? Do you want me to cook for you?”

    Because a large number of servants had been purged from the Duke’s mansion, they didn’t want to hire people again without figuring out the situation for fear of spies being planted again. Ruan Tang and Auston didn’t hire anyone.

    For a time, apart from the robot servants and a few trusted old people, only Ruan Tang and Auston were living in the huge Duke’s mansion.

    There wasn’t even a decent cook at home.

    These past few days, their dinners had been resolved by Ruan Tang or the cooking robots.

    Ruan Tang was actually very afraid that Auston was still hungry because he had come back late.

    “No need, if I wait for you to come back and cook, I’d be waiting forever.” Auston glanced at him and said like a boss, “Dinner has been prepared long ago. I was waiting for you to come back and eat.”

    Auston led Ruan Tang into the dining room. The dishes were neatly arranged on the table, exquisite, and the color and aroma made it clear that they were not made by a cooking robot. There were also a few delicate blooming roses on the table, with candles lit.

    It was clear at a glance that the dinner had been carefully prepared.

    Looking at the person in front of him and the candlelight illuminating the middle of the table, Ruan Tang immediately felt infinitely warm, as if he had found a home.

    “Please, sir.” Ruan Tang took the initiative to step forward and diligently pulled out the chair for Auston. After settling Auston, he immediately picked up the rose placed on the table, and said to Auston with a slight curve in his eyes, “It’s a rose, thank you for your thoughtfulness, sir, but I don’t like this kind of flower. Can you give me something else next time you give me flowers?”

    He didn’t expect that Auston would actually have such romantic thoughts.

    However, he didn’t like this kind of flower. Although it was expensive and symbolized love, he always felt that it pinned on too many people’s love and was too vulgar.

    His relationship with Auston should be worth something more special.

    “Did I say it was for you?” Auston snatched the rose from his hand when he heard that he didn’t like it, and snorted, “People who come home late are lucky to have flowers to look at, and dare to be picky with me?”

    This Omega was simply getting more and more outrageous. He didn’t have to be grateful that he gave him something, but he even dared to say he didn’t like it.

    He wasn’t like this before he chased him.

    Hmph, men, this kind of thing can’t be trusted after all.

    “Okay, okay, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry, thank you, sir.” Ruan Tang immediately smiled and widened his eyes to act cute at him.

    Auston then pointed to the dishes on the table and hummed, “Let’s eat.”

    The two sat face to face and shared the candlelight dinner together.

    Ruan Tang picked up a knife and fork and ate under Auston’s gaze, but found that Auston didn’t eat much himself, just kept staring at him.

    Ruan Tang wasn’t very good at cooking, but his sense of taste was very keen. As soon as the food entered his mouth, he realized that the taste of this dinner wasn’t like that of any cook he had eaten before, nor was it artificial intelligence cooking, nor was it from outside custom-made dishes.

    But the taste was unexpectedly good to him.

    “How do you think today’s dinner tastes?” Auston ate a couple of mouthfuls casually, and asked Ruan Tang as if unintentionally, but the hidden expectation and joy in his eyes betrayed him.

    Looking at his expression, Ruan Tang immediately understood that this candlelight dinner was a surprise that Auston had prepared specially for him.

    Countless joy and elation surged into his heart.

    The food, which was already delicious, tasted infinitely sweet to Ruan Tang because it came from the hands of his lover, and he couldn’t help but want to indulge in this sweetness.

    “Not bad, very delicious, this is the best meal I’ve ever eaten.” Ruan Tang looked at Auston with great surprise: “I wonder, can you tell me where you hired this chef from?”

    Having grown up for so long, no one had ever made anything specifically for Ruan Tang, which made him very touched.

    Auston’s eyes were immediately filled with joy that couldn’t be concealed, and he raised his eyebrows and said, “This chef is someone you can’t hire even if you want to, but he can customize it for you.”

    “Oh? I wonder who this expert is, who is so difficult to hire and requires personal customization?” Ruan Tang looked at him teasingly, and joked: “I wonder, can I exchange a kiss for a meal?”

    Auston didn’t expect that he would guess, and immediately turned his head away awkwardly, not looking at Ruan Tang, but the joy in his eyes couldn’t be stopped, he scolded loudly: “All you know is sweet talk!”

    “How can you call this sweet talk? I’m telling the truth.” Ruan Tang looked at him with a smile, very supportive.

    Auston was obviously enjoying it very much in his heart, but his mouth was still arrogant: “Eloquent words!”

    Ruan Tang: “…”

    Ruan Tang felt that since he had let himself go, this Alpha had become more and more difficult to serve. If he were an Omega, he would definitely not be able to marry.

    But although he complained like this in his heart, eating the food that Auston had cooked for him, Ruan Tang still felt incomparably warm in his heart. He ate this dinner so much that most of the dishes were empty.

    Although Auston didn’t say it, the carefully made dishes were liked by his lover and eaten clean. Ruan Tang could see from his eyes that he should be extremely happy.

    “You don’t like roses, then what kind of flowers do you like?” After eating, Auston asked casually.

    Ruan Tang didn’t show it on his face, but he knew in his heart that Auston was still struggling with his sentence about not liking roses when they were eating, so he answered: “Have you heard of a flower called Begonia in the ancient Earth period? My mother liked it very much, so she chose the character ‘Tang’ when naming me… Actually, I’ve always wanted to see what that kind of flower looks like.”

    The interstellar era has many bouquets belonging to the interstellar era. Flowers from the ancient Earth period disappeared long ago.

    Although Begonia flowers still exist, they are rare and difficult to see.

    Auston looked at him deeply, didn’t speak, but quietly remembered the name of the Begonia flower in his heart.

    Looking at Auston’s profile, Ruan Tang walked forward and left a kiss on his lips like a dragonfly skimming water.

    Now that there were no servants in the mansion, it was convenient for them to be intimate at any time without fear of being seen.

    Auston was stunned by his kiss and asked, “What are you doing?”

    “Of course, it’s paying for this meal, sir.” Ruan Tang winked at him, wanting to tease him and see him shy.

    Unexpectedly, Auston now was different from the past. He hugged Ruan Tang and kissed him, directly pressing Ruan Tang on the dining table, trying to unbutton his clothes, his voice low: “If you want to pay me, one kiss is not enough?”

    “Sir, don’t do this!” Ruan Tang was startled and raised his hand to push him away: “This… this is too much…”

    Even though there weren’t many servants in the mansion now, most of them were robots, Ruan Tang still felt that it was too much and too embarrassing in a place like the dining table. How could he eat tomorrow, how could he face this dining table?

    “Don’t worry, I’ve removed all the surveillance in the mansion, and I’ve asked the few remaining people to leave. No one will come…” Auston’s voice was hoarse.

    Ruan Tang continued to insist: “This is not a matter of surveillance or not…”

    “Tangtang, I love you, don’t you love me anymore?” Auston gently bit his earlobe.

    Ruan Tang still wanted to insist: “Of course I love you, but…”

    “Since you love me, why aren’t you willing to fulfill such a small wish for me? You didn’t say that when you were chasing me…” Auston looked at Ruan Tang aggrievedly. Now he had mastered the trick of acting cute.

    Ruan Tang couldn’t stand him like this at all, and was immediately hit in the heart, and had to give in.

    At this moment, even if it was something too much, if Auston wanted him to do it, he was afraid that he would do it as if possessed…

    At this moment, Ruan Yang, who was coming home from the military department after working overtime, was blocked again.

    Blocking him in the same scene was still the royal Omega’s special hovercar.

    Ruan Yang frowned slightly and was about to leave when the car door opened. A dazzling Omega boy jumped out. He held his head high as if a child was trying to act like an adult, and directly blocked Ruan Yang’s path, raising his eyebrows and looking at him arrogantly: “Are you Ruan Yang?”

    “Who are you?” Ruan Yang looked at the boy, who was a few years younger than his younger brother, and his expression relaxed slightly.

    He had been unconscious for a long time, and didn’t know if his younger brother was like this boy when he was this old.

    But the boy obviously didn’t see the perfunctory attitude of Ruan Yang treating a child. He held his head high arrogantly and introduced himself: “I am Ryan. Carois. Kamir.”

    Although he was young, he exuded an extremely noble temperament, like a noble beautiful boy walking out of an oil painting.

    “Oh, so it’s Imperial Duke.” Ruan Yang was neither happy nor sad, and nodded: “I wonder what the Imperial Duke wants?”

    Although he had never seen the boy, he understood his identity as soon as he heard the boy’s name.

    Auston’s cousin, the current emperor’s nephew, Prince Andrew’s son – Imperial Duke Ryan.

    Unlike Iso, who came from an orphanage as an illegitimate child, the royal Omega was rare. Although Ryan was the son of a prince, he was also the only Omega with a pure bloodline born within three generations of the Osfia royal family. He was named Imperial Duke by the emperor as soon as he was born.

    He was truly the most noble Omega in the entire Osfia who was doted on by everyone.

    And his every move did convey the temperament of being loved and growing up.

    “I’m here to ask you to agree to marry me.” Ryan was not very good at beating around the bush. Even when facing this unfamiliar Alpha, he was still as arrogant as a peacock, and directly stated his request.

    Ruan Yang was stunned for a few seconds. He didn’t know what kind of luck he had recently, but the royal Imperial Dukes always had ideas about his marriage. But facing the childish boy in front of him, he still said in a good-tempered manner: “Your Highness is joking.”

    Unlike Iso, this Imperial Duke looked like he hadn’t reached the legal marriage age yet.

    “I’m not joking. I know that your family’s situation is special now. Only by marrying our royal family can my royal uncle dispel his concerns about you and not affect your career.” Ryan pretended to be an adult: “Since that’s the case, you have to marry anyway, why can’t you choose me instead of that Iso? He has more tricks than a snake, and he has also tricked you… At least, I haven’t harmed you…”

    Ruan Yang felt that he might have some difficulty understanding the logic of children now: “So Your Highness came to me?”

    “My father should have also talked to you about cooperation, but you haven’t responded, so I came to you in person to ask for clarification.” Ryan’s eyes were innocent and childish, black and white, like a child.

    “Prince Andrew did come to me.” Ruan Yang frowned slightly: “But I haven’t decided to agree.”

    During this period of time, he was indeed worried about seeking a balance for the family. He didn’t want to marry Iso, but at the moment, in order to relax the royal family’s vigilance against him and protect himself and his family, it seemed that marrying the royal family was imperative.

    Prince Andrew’s request to help did provide Ruan Yang with another path.

    But looking at the childish boy in front of him, he really wanted to ask the other party, did he really understand what marriage and alliance meant?

    “Why? Why don’t you agree? Is there something wrong with me?” The meaning of Ruan Yang’s words was no different from a gentle refusal, but Imperial Duke Ryan obviously didn’t understand what a gentle refusal meant, and opened a pair of big eyes, simply determined to get to the bottom of it.

    Ruan Yang was silent for a few seconds, and then said: “It’s not that Your Highness is not good enough, it’s just that we…”

    His sentence about not being suitable hadn’t been uttered yet.

    “Then you still have feelings for Iso. Can’t be, a good horse doesn’t eat grass again, he has abandoned and used you once, do you want to be abandoned and used by him a second time? That person is very bad.” Ryan obviously didn’t know what it meant to be sensible, and directly pierced Ruan Yang’s scars in his heart, looking at him incomprehensibly.

    But the meaning in his words was that he and Iso, this illegitimate uncle, had a very bad relationship, and had even become so disrespectful that he directly called him by his name.

    Ruan Yang’s eyes immediately darkened, and he sighed slightly in his heart, raised his eyes and said: “I really need to marry the royal family to express my determination to be loyal to His Majesty, but what about Your Highness? Why do you want to marry me? Do you really understand the meaning of marriage and engagement?”

    Looking at this child who didn’t know the severity of things, who would offend a bunch of people if he wasn’t an Imperial Duke, Ruan Yang really felt a little worried for the other party unconsciously.

    “Nothing, I just simply can’t stand Iso. Kamir, he tricked my father and mother.” Ryan said carelessly: “I can’t stand him being so successful, wanting everything he wants, but everyone still eats his set, he wants to reconcile with you, and continue the relationship, I just want to take away what he cares about the most!”

    Ruan Yang didn’t expect him to say such a thing, and was speechless for a while, and corrected: “Your Highness, I am not an object, and I don’t belong to Imperial Duke Chang, nor am I something you can take away at will.”

    “To be frank, if you want to conduct a marriage in such a playful attitude and thought, I’m afraid I have no way to cooperate with your Prince’s Mansion.” Ruan Yang couldn’t say what his mood was, looking at the boy in front of him, he only felt that his other path was probably completely blocked.

    Ryan obviously couldn’t understand the multi-faceted considerations of the adult world, and relentlessly chased Ruan Yang and said: “Why? Why don’t you agree? Is there something wrong with me? We are just engaged, can’t you consider it and cooperate?”

    He couldn’t understand why Ruan Yang didn’t agree. He didn’t want to marry Ruan Yang, just get engaged first to show his intentions, it was good for everyone, it was just acting, why was this Alpha so serious?

    He was so much younger than him, how could he suffer a loss?

    Ruan Yang felt that there must be a generation gap between himself and this Imperial Duke, and not just one or two, but countless. He bowed to him and immediately walked away.

    “Please, let’s cooperate, let’s act! If I can’t convince you to marry me, my father and His Majesty the Emperor will marry me to Duke Carlos’s nephew, he wants to marry me, he can’t act, I hate him, I don’t want to marry him…” Ryan ran after him in small steps.

    He stumbled and almost fell.

    Ruan Yang immediately reacted quickly and grabbed him, and said softly: “Be careful.”

    “Please, brother!” Ryan took the opportunity to grab Ruan Yang’s hand, and looked at him pitifully with a pair of clear black and white eyes.

    Ruan Yang: “…”

    Ruan Yang had never encountered such a thing, such a situation in his life.
