Chapter Index

    This was the first time in Ruan Tang’s life that he had left Imperial Star. When he was young, he always wanted to escape Imperial Star, escape the Ruan Family Estate, and see the vastness of the starry sea, but because of his mother and older siblings, he was always unable to break free, and could only be trapped on Imperial Star.

    But now, he finally had the opportunity to leave Imperial Star—

    Because he was worried about Auston’s mental instability, he had no intention of looking at the dazzling beauty of the vast starry sky outside the window. The entire journey, he was doing his best to urge Vincent to speed up, and then speed up again.

    Although he was extremely annoyed with Auston, because of Auston’s mental instability symptoms, Ruan Tang was actually very nervous about his current situation.

    He only had one thought in mind: to get to Auston’s side as quickly as possible—

    At the time when he needed him most.

    Vincent was originally worried about Ruan Tang’s Omega constitution, and didn’t dare to fly the ship too fast, but under Ruan Tang’s strong insistence and concern for Auston, he agreed.

    In this interstellar journey, Ruan Tang stepped into the starry river for the first time, and already broke through the limit of his physical fitness.

    At his request, Vincent flew the ship extremely fast, and even performed several space jumps in succession, forcibly compressing the original week-long journey to about three and a half days.

    At noon that day, they arrived at Gemini Fortress.

    “Madam, please wait a moment. This is the Duke’s exclusive lounge. Please rest here for a while, and I’ll go find the Duke,” Vincent said to Ruan Tang after using multiple levels of authorization to bring him into Auston’s lounge in the fortress building.

    Gemini Fortress was very far away from Imperial Star, and coupled with the busy military affairs, Auston seemed to have blocked all the news from Imperial Star that he considered unrelated to military affairs.

    Vincent tried several times, but couldn’t contact Auston, nor could he inform the now amnesiac Auston that Ruan Tang was coming.

    He could only wait until the person arrived, and then meet Auston through others.

    Ruan Tang also knew this, and immediately nodded, “Okay, I understand.”

    Because of the continuous space jumps, he had been running around for a long time and hadn’t closed his eyes for two nights. Upon arriving at Gemini Fortress, he was also slightly relieved, planning to rest and adjust for a while before going to see the amnesiac Auston.

    “Duke, your mental instability is already very serious…” In recent days, Auston had been clearing out spies in the army and arranging combat deployments after waking up. Doctor Lin Ge’er had finally found an opportunity to get close to Auston and try to talk to him about his condition.

    He tried to persuade him to get mental guidance as soon as possible, but because Auston’s mental instability hadn’t occurred even once since waking up, he had no patience to listen to him.

    “There’s no need to mention your opinion again. My mental instability symptoms may worsen next time, but that’s for next time. At least I don’t have any problems now… Even if there really is a problem, I’ll try to suppress it with medication before talking about it. Before that, I will never accept any suggestions to find a highly compatible Omega to help me guide my mental strength!” Auston frowned, knowing that Lin Ge’er was going to repeat the same old tune, and directly interrupted him.

    He knew that Lin Ge’er and the group around him wanted to persuade him to find an Omega with a high pheromone compatibility to help him guide his disordered mental sea, but even if the physical therapy method failed, the condition might worsen next time.

    Auston still didn’t plan to do that.

    First, he knew how terrifying he was when he was sick, let alone if his mental instability worsened. He couldn’t possibly force an Omega with a high pheromone compatibility to risk his life to guide him.

    Secondly, he had very serious mental cleanliness. He didn’t believe in love, and he wasn’t willing to have a mental connection with a stranger just for the sake of treatment.

    Even if it was disordered, the mental sea was his private territory. As of now, Auston didn’t allow anyone to enter it except himself.

    Lin Ge’er’s expression was grave, and he didn’t know how to explain this to him, “But…”

    “There’s no ‘but,'” Auston directly signaled him to shut up, and strode away, “Mental connection is entrusting one’s life. Even if it’s for treatment… I can’t entrust my life to someone who, apart from having a high pheromone compatibility with me, has no connection to me.”

    He didn’t even believe his own biological parents, so how could he easily believe others and entrust his life to them?

    After saying that, he strode away, extremely fast, not wanting to listen to Lin Ge’er continue to nag…

    Lin Ge’er immediately chased after him.

    Auston walked to the door of his lounge, intending to open the door and shut Lin Ge’er out.

    But the door to his lounge suddenly opened. Vincent happened to open the door to go out, and bumped into Auston: “Duke…”

    “Vincent, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be staying in Imperial Star to take care of the house? What are you doing running to the border?” Auston immediately frowned, asking in confusion.

    Vincent belonged to the civil service in his power group, and usually stayed in Imperial Star to take care of other matters. He was of no use at all at the border.

    What was he doing here?

    Vincent frowned slightly, facing the Auston who had lost his memory, unsure how to explain: “Duke, I…”

    “Secretary-General Vincent sent me here,” Ruan Tang heard Auston’s voice and walked out of the lounge, standing directly in front of the allegedly amnesiac Auston.

    The moment he saw Ruan Tang, Auston was unconsciously stunned.

    He had never seen the person in front of him, only knowing that he was an Omega, but unexpectedly, the first time Auston saw this Omega, he was unconsciously lost, and felt his heart skip a beat.

    He felt that all his reason, calmness, and self-restraint collapsed in an instant, and a kind of Alpha instinct and inexplicable feeling grew and clamored wildly in his heart, filling every pore, telling him that he wanted to obtain and possess this Omega…

    The kind of Alpha desire for an Omega.

    Although it was the first time he had seen this Omega, the other party was unexpectedly in line with his wishes, completely from hair to eyes, and even the figure was like the model of his ideal type.

    Auston took a deep breath, and immediately felt the pheromone scent from the Omega, like orchid but not orchid, like plum but not plum.

    He quickly realized that this Omega had a very high pheromone compatibility with him.

    “I said, there’s no need to find a highly pheromone-compatible Omega to guide my mental strength, I don’t need it! Who told you to act on your own initiative?” Auston forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart that seemed to be bewitched by pheromones, and immediately changed his tone towards Vincent, getting angry.

    He didn’t know Ruan Tang’s identity, only thinking that Ruan Tang was an Omega that Vincent and the others had found to guide his mental strength because he had a high pheromone compatibility with him.

    Vincent was dumbfounded by his scolding: “Duke, this…”

    “You don’t need an Omega with a high pheromone compatibility to guide your mental strength, so what do you want? Do you want to die?” Ruan Tang directly interrupted Vincent, his eyes looking directly at the amnesiac Auston without any concealment.

    Ruan Tang had suffered so much since he was a child, and bad luck seemed to have always shrouded him. Therefore, he calmly accepted the reality that his husband, whom he had finally caught up with and loved each other deeply, had made himself amnesiac and forgotten him.

    His mentality had always been stable. Even if he returned to the original point, he was just starting all over again.

    Ruan Tang felt that this was nothing great and couldn’t crush him.

    But when he saw Auston insist on making himself amnesiac, making his condition worse, and now he was still stubbornly going on, the evil fire in his heart suddenly rose.

    Auston didn’t expect that this Omega, who he didn’t know where Vincent had gotten him from and needed to risk his life to guide his mental strength, not only didn’t tremble with fear when he saw him like ordinary Omegas, but dared to stare at him calmly and even dared to question him.

    Auston was stunned all of a sudden.

    “I don’t care where you came from. I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll spare your life!” Auston was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, frowning irritably, and pretending to be fierce: “You hurry back to where you came from, get lost!”

    Such a good-looking Omega, he didn’t know where they got him from. No matter what his background was, just based on his appearance, the other party would definitely have a promising future.

    It was a pity to let such a disabled person like himself risk his life to do mental guidance, and even possibly lose his life.

    Although the other party was very much to his liking, Auston still wanted to be merciful and let him live.

    Vincent looked at Auston, who used to spoil Ruan Tang so much, suddenly becoming so fierce towards Ruan Tang, and immediately looked at Ruan Tang worriedly.

    He was afraid that the weak Omega wouldn’t be able to accept the reality that the husband who once loved him so much was now treating him so badly.

    Unexpectedly, Ruan Tang heard this and coldly looked at Auston, sneering, “Very good, very good. You’ve lost your memory, but you’ve grown in ability. You even have the guts to say this kind of thing. Tell me to get lost? Do you have the guts to say it again?”

    Ruan Tang was thinking that he was amnesiac, and had recited it a thousand times in his heart, before he restrained the urge to beat him up.

    Auston was stunned by Ruan Tang’s arrogant attitude, and began to doubt his life.

    Was he still Duke Auston, the notorious and infamous figure in Imperial Star? How could an Omega from who-knows-where dare to talk to him like that?

    Could it be that in the two years of memory he had forgotten, the persona he had painstakingly created had collapsed?

    That shouldn’t be.

    Vincent and the others were still very afraid of him.

    “What nonsense are you talking about? Get lost!” Auston couldn’t find anything to throw in his rage, and immediately punched the door of the lounge, directly knocking the entire door to the ground with a “bang.”

    He wanted to use this to intimidate the Omega and make him feel fear.

    But Ruan Tang wasn’t afraid at all, just looking at him very calmly and asking, “Do you know who I am?”

    “You don’t even know who you are?” Auston ran out of patience and retorted irritably, “How would I know who you are?”

    Ruan Tang suddenly laughed, “Very good, very good. When you were chasing me, you didn’t say that… Seth.”

    The environment he grew up in from a young age led Ruan Tang to be quite good at making the best of a bad situation, finding fun for himself, struggling to survive in adversity. After accepting the reality that Auston had lost his memory, Ruan Tang even thought he was quite fun now.

    “Who allowed you to call me Seth?” Auston’s face turned pale when he heard Ruan Tang call out this name.

    Ruan Tang sneered, “Seth, when you were pursuing me so hard, you were begging me to call you that…”

    “What nonsense are you talking about? Who chased who?” Auston finally heard another key word in Ruan Tang’s words and was immediately stunned. He pointed at himself in disbelief and then pointed at Ruan Tang, “I chased you? How is that possible? You’re dreaming, right?”

    Even if this Omega was very much to his liking, Auston didn’t think he would have a chance to pursue him. He had no intention of spending his life with another person… So how could he go after someone?

    “A man’s mouth is a deceiving ghost! When you were chasing me, you could say any kind of sweet talk, but now you easily say that you’ve lost your memory, and tell me that you don’t know who I am, and that you’ve never chased me… Tell me, shouldn’t I be glad that we’re already married, otherwise, wouldn’t I be abandoned by you?” Ruan Tang directly returned everything that Auston had done to him before.

    “What nonsense are you talking about? Married?” Auston simply couldn’t believe it. He looked at Vincent and asked, “Vincent, tell me clearly, who is he?”

    He had been too busy these days and hadn’t had the chance to know that he was already married.

    He had never thought that he would get married.

    If this wasn’t his territory and Vincent wasn’t his confidant, even if this Omega was very much to his liking, Auston would have to suspect that some force knew that he had lost his memory and had deliberately set a trap to trick him.

    Things that are too good are often evil. Even if the Omega in front of him was good-looking, Auston felt that there must be something wrong with him, just because he wasn’t afraid of him and was so glib.

    Vincent looked at the development of everything in front of him in a bizarre way. When Auston asked him such a question, he had no choice but to answer, “He is Madam.”

    “Madam? Whose? Mine?” Auston still couldn’t accept the fact that he had become a married man after waking up.

    Vincent nodded again honestly, “Yes, yours.”

    “The madam who you planted ten miles of crabapples for after pursuing her so hard, and sent most of the treasures from the antique auction center in the Imperial Star…” Ruan Tang added from behind.

    Auston looked at Lin Ge’er, who had been eating melons for a long time, as if wanting to seek an answer from him.

    Lin Ge’er was quite at a loss, but still told the truth, “Yes, Duke, this is your madam, the chairman of the Imperial Omega Protection Association, Major General Ruan Yang’s younger brother. You got married before the new year, and it’s been a full ten months since you got married… I was just trying to persuade you to bring Madam over so that Madam could guide your disordered mental strength…”

    “Your pheromone compatibility is very high, more than 95%.” Lin Ge’er tried his best to introduce him.

    Auston was in a daze. At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind. He looked at Ruan Tang in disbelief, then looked at Vincent, and asked, “I chased him?”

    That couldn’t be, that was impossible.

    How could he be the kind of Alpha who was so easy to get, and even took the initiative to stick himself on?

    “…That should be right.” Vincent hesitated and then answered like that.

    Although Auston told him that Ruan Tang was chasing him, before that, Auston had already spoiled Ruan Tang to the heavens, and was almost going to pick the stars and moon in the sky for him… It should be Auston chasing Ruan Tang, right?

    Vincent was actually not too sure in his heart.

    Auston looked at the Omega in front of him in astonishment.

    Ruan Tang’s eyes were cold, looking straight back at him.

    “Give me some time, I’ll sort things out, and then give you an answer. You rest first…” Facing the news that he was suddenly informed that he was married, Auston was a little at a loss and decided to let Ruan Tang rest first, and then he would go back and find out what exactly had happened to him in the past two years.

    Ruan Tang immediately nodded, “Okay.”

    He felt a little tired, and immediately walked back to the lounge, using the fingerprint key that he and Auston had already linked and shared when they had confirmed their relationship to open the door to the room inside Auston’s lounge.

    There was a bed in the room, and Ruan Tang felt a little tired, planning to sleep for a while before coming to gamble with Auston.

    Auston watched him open the door to the lounge room, which should only be opened with his fingerprint, so easily, and was immediately in a trance.
