AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 32

Ruan Tang was completely dumbfounded, not knowing how he was associated with the spoiled and loves-to-run-away little wife stereotype, and he greatly admired Auston’s outstanding associative abilities.

Having known that Auston’s logic was different from ordinary people, and seeing Auston’s matter-of-course look, Ruan Tang had to adjust his expression and patiently explain to Auston in order not to appear like an idiot in front of a madman: “Your Grace has misunderstood. I didn’t run away from home. I just missed my mother and older siblings too much, so I went to visit them… It was my fault for not informing Your Grace beforehand.”

Although he felt that his relationship with Auston wasn’t close enough to warrant reporting his whereabouts, Ruan Tang’s polite words were still very beautiful…

“Then why didn’t you answer your comm?” Auston asked him.

He had called Ruan Tang countless times today.

Ruan Tang honestly replied: “Because of Ruan Xi’s matter yesterday, he has too many protectors, each wanting to argue with me. I found it annoying and didn’t want my personal terminal to keep ringing, so I simply turned it off.”

Ruan Tang was used to being alone and felt that no one would look for him, but he didn’t expect Auston.

Auston calmed down and thought, although this omega was delicate and difficult to raise, he didn’t really seem like the type to run away from home. His expression softened slightly, and he accepted Ruan Tang’s explanation, asking, “…Your mother and older siblings?”

Shouldn’t Ruan Tang’s mother and older siblings be at the Ruan Family Estate?

Logically speaking, Ruan Tang had just slapped Ruan Ming’s favorite son in the face yesterday, and he was already so annoyed today. He shouldn’t want to return to the Ruan Family Estate.

“When I agreed to marry Your Grace, I had already negotiated the conditions with Marshal Ruan Ming to take my mother and older siblings out of the Ruan Family Estate. They are now settled in a sanatorium. Although the environment is very good, I don’t visit often, and I always feel uneasy,” Ruan Tang said, noticing the doubt in Auston’s eyes and immediately taking the initiative to introduce the current situation of his family.

Auston looked at him deeply for a while without saying anything.

Ruan Tang thought that this matter would just pass, but he didn’t expect that that night, after Auston came over as usual to pet and touch him like a cat, he didn’t leave immediately.

Instead, he said in the darkness: “Since you are worried about your mother and older siblings, bring them to the manor to live with us.”

“Ah? This is the Duke’s manor!” Ruan Tang was immediately shocked.

He never expected Auston to say this. Although in ordinary families, it’s normal for a son-in-law to invite his mother-in-law to live at home to take care of the elderly, it’s a very strange thing for nobles who value rules.

Especially since it’s not just taking care of a senile mother-in-law, but also taking care of a vegetative older brother-in-law and a crazy older sister-in-law.

Auston didn’t think much of it: “What’s wrong with that? My manor is so big, surely it can accommodate three more people. Can’t I afford to feed them?”

He was already supporting Ruan Tang anyway, so he didn’t mind supporting his whole family to make him happy.

“…Then thank you, Your Grace,” Ruan Tang said, overjoyed.

He experienced the benefit of Auston’s personality of not caring about other people’s gossip for the first time. No matter how good the sanatorium was, it couldn’t compare to having his mother and siblings by his side.

It was really great that Auston didn’t mind them living in the Duke’s manor.

Auston lightly ‘hmph’ed: “It’s nothing.”

He immediately pushed his wheelchair away, not giving Ruan Tang a chance to thank him again.

At this moment, in the Ruan Family Estate in the most luxurious area of the Imperial Star, Ruan Xi was desperately explaining to Shen Mozhi.

“Mozhi, you have to believe me, believe me, all of this is Ruan Tang’s fault, Ruan Tang and his husband colluded to frame me. I don’t know why the surveillance camera recorded me like that, but I really didn’t say anything else to him, and I certainly didn’t seduce him…” Ruan Xi cried pitifully, grabbing Shen Mozhi’s hand and refusing to let go: “I just begged him to let Ruan Tang go and fulfill Ruan Tang and Zhou Yao’s relationship…”

Tears streamed down his beautiful eyes, as if he had suffered endless grievances: “Who knew, who knew they would deliberately set me up…”

His eyes were beautiful, pitiful, and full of affection. Tears in such eyes were always enough to arouse pity.

Shen Mozhi looked at Ruan Xi like this. Although he wanted to believe him, he couldn’t make any expression when he recalled Ruan Xi’s appearance in the video.

He loved Ruan Xi very much…

Because when Ruan Xi was young, when he was at his lowest and most penniless, not only did he not look down on him, but he also helped him, encouraged him, and rekindled his courage to live, to fight fate, and to climb upwards.

At that time, looking at the little omega who was also bullied like him, he vowed in his heart that if he could really climb up as Ruan Xi said one day, he would definitely come back to protect Ruan Xi, give him everything he wanted, and pamper him in the palm of his hand.

At that time, Ruan Xi was the only light and warmth in his dark life…

Just a flash dispersed the coldness of his whole body and supported him through the most difficult journey.

But now, looking at the Ruan Xi in front of him, Shen Mozhi found that his state of mind could no longer return to the beginning.

He even began to doubt whether he regarded Ruan Xi as his ideal solely due to a suspension bridge effect, rather than true affection…

“I don’t know how to explain it to you, but things are really not what you saw. I… I couldn’t possibly do anything to hurt you…” Ruan Xi cried hoarsely.

Xia Ruzhi immediately darkened her face, scolding him overtly and defending him covertly: “You child, don’t you know what kind of person Ruan Tang is? Why are you so trusting and defenseless? He told you he wanted to divorce Auston, and you actually went to that madman to plead for him…”

“Now look, you’ve been set up, haven’t you?”

While scolding Ruan Xi, she looked at Shen Mozhi and defended Ruan Xi: “Mozhi, this child Xiao Xi really didn’t do it on purpose. He’s just too kind and was set up. He loves you so much, how could he seduce that madman?”

“Mozhi, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn’t have been so defenseless and jumped into someone else’s trap, ruined my reputation like this, and even implicated you…” Ruan Xi readily admitted his mistake, crying mournfully, and was about to grab Shen Mozhi’s sleeve and kneel down to him: “Just forgive me this once, Mozhi. I promise there won’t be a next time…”

Seeing him like this, Shen Mozhi immediately helped him up before he could kneel: “Don’t do this, I believe you…”

He would never watch his savior kneel in front of him no matter what.

“Really?” Ruan Xi looked at him with tears in his eyes, his eyes full of anticipation.

Shen Mozhi didn’t know what expression to make, and immediately said slowly: “Of course it’s true. You are my fiancé. If I don’t believe you, who else would I believe? When the storm subsides, we’ll get married immediately.”

No matter what the truth of the matter was, as long as Ruan Xi needed him, he would stand by his side, even if everyone pointed fingers at him.

Just like Ruan Xi treated him in the beginning, he had to repay this kindness.

“That’s great, I knew you would believe me, Mozhi,” Ruan Xi said, excitedly throwing himself into his arms.

Shen Mozhi hugged him expressionlessly but felt that the feeling between them was difficult to return to the beginning.

After seeing Shen Mozhi off, Ruan Xi recalled Auston’s ruthlessness and his extremely poor reputation on the Imperial Star, as well as being rejected by the noble omega circle. His face immediately turned ashen, and he began to throw things around in his room with a gloomy face: “Ruan Tang, Auston… I won’t let you go!”

“Reminder to the host, cracks have appeared in your golden finger. If you don’t find a way to greatly suppress Ruan Tang’s reputation to the point of ruining him and repair the cracks, your cracks will continue to expand!” The system’s mechanical prompt rang in Ruan Xi’s mind.

Ruan Xi’s face, which was extremely pale due to his unhealed mental attack, instantly became extremely gloomy, and he said irritably: “I know, I know, don’t rush me.”

He suppressed his temper and replied to the people who cared and believed in him one by one, selling himself as pitiful in front of them, while brewing a plan in his heart to launch a big move to give Ruan Tang a heavy blow and ruin his reputation…

“I didn’t intend to do this so early, but you forced me, you all forced me, Ruan Tang,” Ruan Xi said, almost hysterically.

He was so busy trying to clear his name and find a way to deal with Ruan Tang that he neglected that one of the people who should have greeted him was missing…

…

Wen Run searched for Ruan Tang’s news in astonishment and found that he had actually married Auston Camishiel, and was immediately incredulous.

Thinking of the possible encounters Ruan Tang was having now, his eyes turned red involuntarily…

He didn’t expect that when he woke up, he had actually been reborn, back to more than ten years ago, when all the tragedies and stories had not yet begun…

He was ostensibly an unloved child from a small noble family and a childhood friend of Ruan Tang.

An excellent beta.

But in reality, he was the illegitimate child of Ruan Tang’s eldest sister, Ruan Yue, and her abandoned ex-boyfriend, a stain on Ruan Yue. Therefore, he was also abandoned by Ruan Yue at birth and thrown to his biological father.

No one in the entire Ruan family knew of his existence. When he was five years old, his biological father, who had been thinking about Ruan Yue for the rest of his life, died unexpectedly, and Wen Run was adopted by the family he now lived with.

Wen Run knew his background since he was a child. He came to the Imperial Star with his adoptive family, accidentally met Ruan Tang, and becoming friends with Ruan Tang was intentional.

He always wanted to see what the Ruan family’s eldest daughter, who had abandoned himself and his father twice in a row for ambition and power, looked like.

Because of his father’s death, he always had an indescribable and malformed resentment towards his birth mother.

In the beginning, he got along well with Ruan Tang, but later he unconsciously transferred his dark resentment towards Ruan Yue to Ruan Tang…

Because Ruan Tang, from personality to all aspects, was too much like Ruan Yue in the normal state his father described to him.

In the beginning, when Ruan Tang and Ruan Xi were fighting, he always stood on Ruan Tang’s side, because although Ruan Tang didn’t know, he knew that they were actually blood relatives, and Ruan Tang was his little uncle.

But he didn’t know when it started—

Wen Run saw more and more of Ruan Yue’s shadow on Ruan Tang and gradually became mentally unbalanced.

Watching Ruan Tang selflessly take care of Ruan’s mother, Ruan Yang, and Ruan Yue, he didn’t know what influence he was under, but he began to feel that Ruan Tang was scheming, using the care of his mother and sister to gain Ruan Ming’s sympathy, occupy the high ground of public opinion, and fight with Xia Ruzhi. Otherwise, he was so backbone and ambitious, why didn’t he take his mother and siblings away from the Ruan family and still enjoy everything in the Ruan family and act high and mighty with his noble status?

It was better that Ruan Xi, who had nothing to do with Ruan’s mother, Ruan Yang, and Ruan Yue, and even whose mothers were enemies with each other, was so favored but often spoke well of them in front of Ruan Ming out of kindness and begged to improve the quality of their lives, seemed kind and real.

He began to demonize Ruan Tang. He felt that everything Ruan Tang did was hypocritical.

Ruan Tang successively ruined two marriage contracts, and he also felt that it was Ruan Tang’s own fault for trying to snatch something from Ruan Xi’s hands but calculated it into a failure.

Wen Run’s bones inexplicably identified Ruan Tang as exactly the same person as his imagined ambitious and unscrupulous birth mother.

Only, the difference was—

His mother succeeded. Ruan Tang played with people’s hearts and used marriage as a bargaining chip to cheat power but suffered the consequences of his actions and failed.

At that time, watching Ruan Tang suffer bad luck one after another, Wen Run even had a condescending attitude in his heart, regarding this omega’s self-destruction, with a ‘anger at his misfortune but sorrow at his lack of contention’ attitude towards this little uncle.

Seeing Ruan Tang miserable, he didn’t show it on the surface, but there was even a kind of pleasure in his heart that his mother, who had abandoned himself and his father for power and status, had received retribution.

But he ignored that Ruan Tang was not Ruan Yue, and his birth mother Ruan Yue was not what he imagined.

But at that time, he didn’t know that Wen Run had always been stubbornly believing in Ruan Xi, demonizing Ruan Tang deep in his heart, until Ruan Xi stole his research results, framed him for murder, and almost killed him, but Ruan Tang, who knew his background, single-handedly and fearlessly confronted the various forces who wanted him dead, risked being assassinated, and persistently searched for the truth for him in the vortex of various forces, and returned his innocence…

Wen Run suddenly woke up in prison and was extremely regretful.

He was rescued from prison by the rebel army because of his outstanding scientific research talent and amazing mecha manufacturing talent. Wen Run’s first reaction was to find his uncle, who was so ill-fated and misunderstood by him, and wanted to recognize him…

But at that time, the rebel army had invaded the Imperial Star, and Ruan Tang was already gone forever.

He would never have the opportunity to apologize to Ruan Tang.

Recalling his youthful credulity towards Ruan Xi, his stubborn misunderstanding, contempt, disdain, and self-righteous arrogance towards Ruan Tang, Wen Run’s heart felt like it was pricked by needles, densely and painfully.

He finally returned to the past. Wen Run originally thought that he would have the opportunity to make up for this little uncle, but he didn’t expect that the world seemed to have been fluttered by the butterfly wings of his rebirth.

In his previous life, Ruan Tang, who had never married in his life, actually married Auston, the terrible madman.
