AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 29
by VolareRuan Xi immediately heard that Auston had spent a fortune for Ruan Tang, almost buying up half of the auction center’s goods. After that, he hated Ruan Tang even more and was determined to get Auston at all costs.
No matter how beautiful Ruan Tang was, no matter how much of a protagonist’s halo he had, so what?
None of this could compare to the beauty of his soul and the golden finger bestowed by the system. He believed that Auston simply hadn’t had the chance to come into contact with him and spend time with him. As long as Auston interacted with him, he would soon cast Ruan Tang aside, realize that Ruan Tang was just a vase with an empty beauty, and no longer like him.
Just like Shen Mozhi, Zhou Yao… and a series of people around Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang was destined to be utterly defeated when facing him, it was like this in the past, and it would be like this in the future.
Just thinking about how all the glory and splendor that Ruan Tang had gained because of Auston would be taken away by him from now on and belong to him, Ruan Xi couldn’t help but get excited…
And in order to achieve this goal, he made a lot of preparations, even the sound of his voice was deliberately adjusted—
Soft and delicate was exactly the kind of tone that Alphas loved the most.
“Hmm? What’s the matter?” Auston was in a good mood today, but he didn’t get angry because someone inexplicably approached him. Instead, he asked him why, which was out of character.
He felt that the person in front of him looked a bit familiar, but he couldn’t remember when he had met him…
He just guessed in his heart that he was probably some noble Omega from some family at some banquet. There were too many people who recognized him in Imperial Star, but he didn’t recognize them.
Seeing that he was kind and amiable, and looked to be in a good mood, completely unlike the terrifying figure in the rumors, Ruan Xi immediately became more confident in himself. He hadn’t even used the system props yet, but he was already full of confidence, feeling that his charm was infinite.
He looked at Auston gently and charmingly, showing himself to be gentle and harmless, and introduced himself, “I… I am Marshal Ruan Ming’s sixth son, Ruan Tang’s younger brother, Ruan Xi…”
When he spoke, his eyes were pure, but they also had a hint of a cat’s claw, a contradictory combination of purity and allure, which was extremely captivating.
“Oh, so you’re Ruan Tang’s younger brother. What’s the matter?” Auston didn’t want to pay attention to him at first, but when he heard him introduce himself as Ruan Tang’s younger brother, he became patient.
He didn’t know what Ruan Tang’s family relationship was like, or what his relationship with this younger brother was… He just vaguely remembered that Marshal Ruan Ming seemed to have quite a few children…
And Ruan Tang was born to his first wife.
“I… I’m here to beg Your Grace to let my brother go and help him and Brother Zhou…” Seeing that he was willing to talk to him, Ruan Xi immediately became more confident, looking at Auston with pleading eyes and a kind, harmless appearance.
He wasn’t particularly good-looking, but he had a pair of large, bright eyes…
When he opened his eyes wide to look at people, he looked as innocent as a little deer.
The words he spoke seemed to be nothing, but they had hooks that easily led people to investigate further…
Especially since the unfinished words in his speech were telling an Alpha that his partner might have a story with another Alpha, which no Alpha could ignore.
“Oh? You want me to let your brother go?” Auston was uninterested at first, but when he heard this sentence, he was immediately intrigued.
“Yes, Your Grace…” Ruan Xi looked at Auston cautiously, acting even more vigorously, “My brother and Brother Zhou are truly in love. It was all because I asked Brother Zhou for some help that my brother misunderstood. Brother Zhou also misunderstood my brother’s vanity because of some of his actions, thinking that he was only with him because of his status. That’s why they’re in this situation…”
His voice was soft, seemingly telling a regrettable love story, but he was constantly digging pits and burying knives for Ruan Tang.
Auston looked at him with great interest, stroking his chin, neither scolding him nor interrupting him, but continuing to listen to him make up stories.
“Although some of my brother’s actions are really easy to misunderstand, and he even admitted it to Brother Zhou, I believe that my brother must have had his reasons for doing so. It definitely wasn’t intentional… It really makes me sad to see them like this.” His brow was furrowed, and his eyes were wet at some point, as if he was really deeply saddened by the separation of Ruan Tang and Zhou Yao.
Auston was expressionless, tapping his index finger lightly on the armrest of his wheelchair, but he said indifferently, “You’re sad, what are you telling me for?”
He knew that he was a madman, but the person in front of him who claimed to be Ruan Tang’s younger brother seemed even more illogical than him…
He was sad, what did it have to do with him!
Ruan Xi didn’t expect him to be so indifferent and have such a strange focus. He quickly waved his hand and said, “No, no, no, I don’t want to tell you about my sadness. What I want to tell you is that my brother didn’t choose to marry you out of love, but because he wanted to use you to get revenge on me and Brother Zhou…”
“He chose to marry you out of spite with Brother Zhou.” His whole face was red, making him look cute and alluring.
When Auston heard this, he suddenly laughed, “So what?”
He never felt that Ruan Tang chose to marry him out of love.
“My brother didn’t marry you out of love, and your marriage wasn’t because of love, but because of each other’s deliberate schemes and purposes… The person my brother truly loves is Brother Zhou.” Ruan Xi bit his lower lip and said, “Your marriage will not be happy, Your Grace, please, have mercy and let my brother go…”
Tears streamed down his face, heartbroken, “Although everyone outside says that you are terrible, and my brother said before the marriage that you are a famous Bluebeard in Imperial Star with disabled legs, a disfigured face, and a strange temperament, I believe that you must be a good person, not what they say, right?”
“Your Grace, can you let my brother go?”
Auston suddenly laughed.
The laughter he squeezed out of his throat was sinister and eerie, like a ghost.
It directly frightened Ruan Xi into shivering and freezing in place.
“You’re thinking too much. I’m not a good person at all. I’m exactly the Bluebeard with disabled legs, cruel and unjust, and an ugly face that people outside say I am.” Auston looked at the shivering Ruan Xi, his eyes cold and his tone harsh, “Do you have some misunderstanding about me?”
Ruan Xi was speechless. Swept by his gaze, almost all the hairs on his body stood on end.
“As for letting your brother go, don’t even think about it. I don’t care who he loves. Once he marries me, he is my Omega… Unless I die, he can forget about leaving me in this lifetime.” He said each word slowly, icy to the extreme.
After saying that, he didn’t even give Ruan Xi another glance, and immediately turned around and pushed his wheelchair away…
Ruan Xi was extremely afraid looking at his back, but thinking that today was the last day, he had been unable to find a way to approach him before. If he didn’t succeed in seducing him today, and use the system props on him when his beliefs were wavering, so that he would transfer his feelings for Ruan Tang to himself…
He would be finished, and the protagonist’s halo that he had worked so hard to snatch would shatter.
He gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, caught up with Auston’s wheelchair, and said loudly, “Your Grace, I don’t know why you want to belittle yourself so much, but I know that you must not be the kind of person you say you are… I… I have always admired you.”
“My brother doesn’t have you in his heart, only Brother Zhou. Why do you insist on trapping him and not helping others achieve their love?” As he spoke, he reached out to grab Auston’s hand.
Creating a special throbbing and feeling for the Alpha through some physical contact was Ruan Xi’s usual trick… It was almost always effective.
No Alpha who had been touched by him could resist…
Although he didn’t want to use this trick so early, time told him that he couldn’t wait any longer.
But before his hand could touch Auston’s skin, Auston had already raised his hand mercilessly, and his mental power burst out defensively, directly throwing him out.
Ruan Xi was directly thrown to the ground.
He knocked over a pile of tables, chairs, and wine bottles.
A series of “crashing” sounds rang out.
The clamor of the entire banquet suddenly stopped.
Everyone’s eyes looked at this scene in fright.
Ruan Xi looked at Auston in disbelief, completely not expecting that there would be an Alpha who was so unromantic and would attack an Omega who said he admired him in public. His face was pale with pain, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. He vomited a mouthful of blood due to the mental attack, “Ugh~”
Before he could slowly get up from the ground, he had already fainted directly.
Before he passed out, he only had one thought, and that was—
This Alpha was indeed a madman.
Because of the huge change that occurred on the scene, Ruan Tang, as the family member of the perpetrator, arrived at Auston’s side almost together with the host of the banquet.
Ruan Tang looked at the unconscious Ruan Xi on the ground with a dazed expression, and then looked at Auston, whose face was livid, and asked quickly, “Your Grace, what happened?”
During the intermission of the banquet, Ruan Tang had already seen Ruan Xi approach Auston. It was undeniable that when he saw that scene, Ruan Tang was shocked and felt a sense of fear.
Because the way Ruan Xi approached Auston was the same as the way he had approached Shen Mozhi, Zhou Yao… and everyone else around Ruan Tang in the past.
And after Ruan Xi approached like that, everyone around Ruan Tang would abandon him and turn to Ruan Xi’s camp.
Ruan Tang didn’t know why this was, but he couldn’t deny that there was a fatal attraction to Alphas on Ruan Xi’s body…
When he saw Ruan Xi at that moment, Ruan Tang originally wanted to step forward and stop him, but in the end, he didn’t choose to do so. One reason was that if someone was going to be attracted to Ruan Xi anyway, they were destined to be bewitched by him, and there was no use in him coming over to stop them. He might even be humiliated and slapped in the face by Ruan Xi. The second reason was that he and Auston were nominally husband and wife, but in reality, they were just two strangers bound together by a partner relationship.
Ruan Tang admitted that he didn’t have the qualifications to restrict Auston.
It was just that after that, he thought a thousand times in his heart what he should do if Ruan Xi really seduced Auston and Auston was attracted to him?
After thinking about it, Ruan Tang could only feel that if that were the case, even if it was difficult, he would only have the option of divorce.
He could accept his partner being crazy, he could accept his partner being ugly, and he could accept his partner being disabled… but he couldn’t accept his partner having Ruan Xi in his heart and being obsessed with him for Ruan Xi.
This was Ruan Tang’s bottom line.
But unexpectedly, Auston gave him such a surprise.
Auston, the Alpha who directly threw the popular Ruan Xi out and knocked him unconscious, could be said to be the first one Ruan Tang had ever met in his life.
