AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 41

Tim looked at his young master in disbelief, extremely astonished: “Young Master, why are you looking for Young Master Ruan Tang?”

Things were different now than before. Ruan Tang was already with that terrifying Bluebeard Duke. His young master shouldn’t go looking for trouble with Ruan Tang for Young Master Ruan Xi’s sake.

“I’m going to find Ruan Tang, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I was really wrong…” Zhou Yao murmured, his eyes full of excited light: “I want to make up with him, I want to marry him.”

As if he saw a hopeful and beautiful future with Ruan Tang right before his eyes.

“Young Master, what are you talking about?” Tim was startled, almost thinking his young master’s brain was waterlogged: “Aren’t you still confused from being beaten up? Young Master Ruan Tang is already married, his husband is Duke Auston. We can’t mess around and cause trouble for the family…”

Zhou Yao looked at Tim in disbelief, utterly shocked: “Married? You said Ruan Tang is already married, to Auston?”

Married? How could Ruan Tang be married?

In his previous life, Ruan Tang was single until he disappeared…

How could he be married this time?

And to a monster like Auston? Could it be that he was reborn not into their past, but into another parallel world?

Or did his rebirth create a butterfly effect on this world’s timeline, changing the course of events?

“Yes, Young Master Ruan Tang and Duke Auston are very much in love. Duke Auston practically dotes on Young Master Ruan Tang, giving him whatever he wants. Before the marriage, who would have thought? That Auston, such a crazy person, would have a day where he’d be so gentle for an Omega.” Tim couldn’t help but exclaim.

Actually, he quite liked Ruan Tang. He had advised Zhou Yao more than once not to treat Young Master Ruan Tang that way for Young Master Ruan Xi’s sake, since Ruan Tang was his fiancé after all.

He could see that his young master truly loved Ruan Tang—

But his young master wouldn’t listen.

Now it was good that Young Master Ruan Tang was married and doing well, the fate between them had completely ended, they had missed each other, but his young master looked like he had finally woken up.

Wasn’t this his own doing?

Listening to Tim’s endless chatter about the love between Ruan Tang and Auston, Zhou Yao felt absent-minded, his heart cut like a knife, his soul torn apart.

Ruan Tang was already married, so what was the point of Heaven sending him back? Was it to watch Ruan Tang with someone else, with no chance of getting close at all?

Was his rebirth a punishment from Heaven?

Zhou Yao clenched his fists tightly, his eyes gloomy, feeling as if his internal organs were burning.

“By the way, Young Master, Young Master Ruan Xi called and said he wanted to see you, probably because of the online backlash he’s been getting. He wants you to help him suppress the issue. Are we going to take care of it?” Tim sighed deeply in his heart, watching his young master turn like this at the mention of Ruan Tang. He couldn’t help but lament that he should have known better.

To divert the topic and stop Zhou Yao’s face from turning so gloomy, Tim immediately brought up Ruan Xi’s matter.

Recently, whenever Zhou Yao was depressed because of Ruan Tang’s marriage, only mentioning Ruan Xi could cheer him up a little…

Although Zhou Yao was just a young master, he was the only son in the family, doted on by his parents. He had a lot of power in his hands, and Ruan Xi had used him to smooth things over many times in the past.

Unexpectedly, this time when Tim mentioned Ruan Xi, Zhou Yao’s expression became even gloomier.

Whenever Zhou Yao thought about how he had been deceived by Ruan Xi in his previous life, misunderstanding and hurting Ruan Tang, he wished he could kill Ruan Xi. Even though Ruan Xi’s mask had been torn off in the previous life, the truth had been revealed to the world, he was hated and abandoned, ending up in a miserable state begging in the streets, Zhou Yao still couldn’t quell the hatred in his heart even after being reborn.

He hated Ruan Xi, even more than the harm he had caused to Ruan Tang…

Although this was just a parallel world, he didn’t know what had happened between Ruan Xi and Ruan Tang that caused Ruan Xi to be blacklisted online. He didn’t want to provide any more help to Ruan Xi, he didn’t want to help him with anything. He even wanted to step on him…

“See him? Does he not have his own fiancé? Why is he looking for me? I have nothing to see him for.” Zhou Yao said with a gloomy face, word by word: “And why should I help him suppress the online backlash? Is our family running a charity? Why bother? I don’t care.”

He was disgusted by Ruan Xi beyond words. Hearing his name, even if he didn’t know what had happened, he didn’t want to help this person even a little bit.

Tim looked at his young master in astonishment, not expecting that he had really seen through things this time. He wasn’t even concerned about Ruan Xi, who had bewitched him.

It seemed that the change was really big, the shock must have been great.

However, he thought it was good this way, and immediately responded in a low voice: “Yes.”

If his young master could see Ruan Xi’s true face, even if he missed Ruan Tang, it would be a blessing in his eyes. He hoped that his young master was really not interested in Ruan Xi this time, and not just temporarily.

“Wait, I’ve been a bit muddled lately, and I don’t know a lot of things. You can organize everything that’s happened recently, especially about me and Ruan Tang, and I want to take a closer look and think about some things.” Zhou Yao suddenly thought of something and ordered Tim again.

He still couldn’t believe that God would be so cruel to him…

Letting him start over was to make him experience the pain and complete loss again.

Although Tim didn’t understand why, he thought that his young master had been living a life of drunken stupor lately, and had been beaten up again, maybe he was really knocked awake. He didn’t suspect anything else, and immediately responded: “Okay, I understand.”

Without Zhou Yao’s help to suppress the issue, the online abuse of Ruan Xi on the interstellar social network surged higher and higher. Everyone who knew or didn’t know about the matter, after being informed, had a terrible impression of Ruan Xi, and their perception was extremely bad. This time, Ruan Xi’s reputation was completely ruined throughout the entire empire.

…

As for all of this, Ruan Tang was completely unaware. As soon as he got home, he was blocked by Auston. Auston pushed his wheelchair, frowned at him, and questioned him directly: “Don’t you have anything to tell me?”

This omega was really disobedient.

Ruan Tang immediately pretended to be stupid: “I don’t know what you want me to tell you?”

“Like the things on the internet these past few days.” Auston kindly gave him a hint.

Ruan Tang was afraid that telling Auston would blow things up, so he could say that he had deliberately concealed it from Auston, but facing Auston’s questioning, he still chose to play dumb: “What things on the internet?”

“You have quite some nerve. Such a big thing happened, and you dare not tell me about being blacklisted online.” Auston glanced at him.

Ruan Tang immediately said: “Oh, so you’re talking about the things on the internet. It’s not a big deal. I handled it myself, so I forgot to tell you.”

Auston gave him a cold look and snorted softly.

After a long while, he looked at Ruan Tang unhappily and said: “Actually, you’re just afraid that I’ll go crazy again and punish those people because of these things, right?”

He knew Ruan Tang too well.

Ruan Tang didn’t tell him about this, definitely not because he forgot.

Ruan Tang really wanted to say, I didn’t expect you to still have a bit of self-awareness, but he still said obediently: “Of course not, I just thought that I could handle this matter myself, so I didn’t tell you.”

“I don’t want to cause trouble for you. See, didn’t I handle this matter pretty well?” He really didn’t want Auston to shout and kill for him for these things that could be resolved with legal weapons and didn’t cause him any loss.

A bloody mess would cause another storm.

Auston was too sharp right now, and Ruan Tang was very afraid that one day the emperor would be displeased with him and would attack him.

Ruan Tang just wanted to live a quiet life now.

He really didn’t want to break the peace, and there was really no need to kill anyone.

“Heh, if I were you, I would have torn their mouths apart.” Auston snorted unhappily, as if disliking Ruan Tang’s way of handling things was too soft.

Ruan Tang thought, I was just afraid that you would do this, that’s why I concealed it from you.

But he didn’t show it on his face at all, just smiled and said: “You have your way of handling things, and I have mine. Do you think my way of handling things is not good?”

Auston was crazy enough, he had to reason with him and couldn’t go crazy with him.

“…It’s okay, I guess.” Auston snorted, and after a long while, he said: “However, next time there is something like this, you can’t hide it from me.”

He just saw that Ruan Tang didn’t suffer this time, and handled it fairly well, and also deliberately wanted to hide it from him, so he didn’t take action.

However, it was wrong for Ruan Tang to hide it from him like this, he had to be taught a lesson.

He was his omega, and he was almost bullied, but he didn’t know anything and was deliberately concealed, how could this be?

“Okay, I understand, I’ve remembered it.” Ruan Tang responded obediently.

Looking at Auston’s awkward and arrogant appearance, Ruan Tang felt that this formidable duke was particularly cute. He knew in his heart that Auston was restraining him, blaming him was to care about him, and his final compromise was also respecting his opinion and listening to his words…

This alpha seemed fierce, but he was actually a very gentle and warm man.

After his mother’s accident, Ruan Tang didn’t remember how many years he hadn’t been cared for and restrained like this. Ruan Tang’s heart felt especially warm and sweet.

“…Why are you looking at me?” Auston was stared at by Ruan Tang, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and scolded Ruan Tang unhappily.

This omega was getting bolder and bolder, and he dared to stare at him so impolitely.

Ruan Tang stared at the man in front of him, but he wasn’t afraid at all, and said very seriously: “It’s nothing, I was just wondering what you look like, can you take off your mask and let me see?”

He suddenly really wanted to see Auston’s face.

Auston always wore a mask, and never exposed his true face in front of him.

When he first married Auston, Ruan Tang had never been curious about his appearance, just wanted to live well and wait to die, waiting for Auston to kill himself, and then he would find another way out. He neither wanted to see Auston’s appearance, nor did he ever think about exploring this alpha’s heart. Although they were nominally husband and husband, Ruan Tang had never thought about being together with him for a long time, understanding each other, and entering each other’s inner world.

But now, Ruan Tang inexplicably wanted to know what Auston looked like…

He wanted to get to know him again.

“No.” Auston refused him outright, raised his hand and tightly covered his mask, and scolded him unhappily: “Why do you want to see what I look like for no reason?”

He was very fierce, but Ruan Tang was not afraid at all.

Ruan Tang looked at him innocently and puzzledly, his curiosity becoming more and more intense: “Why not? We’ve been married for so long, don’t I even have the right to know what my husband looks like?”

He just wanted to see what he looked like, and remember it hard.

“I’m disfigured, there’s nothing good to look at.” Auston was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, guarding his mask tightly, and said to Ruan Tang with disgust: “Why are you so curious?”

He didn’t want Ruan Tang to see his face at all.

“It doesn’t matter, I don’t care. I already knew about your face before I married you… Is it a strange thing to want to know what your husband looks like?” Ruan Tang took a step forward, pressing closer: “Moreover, I don’t just want to know what you look like, I also want to know what your pheromone smells like…”

After being married for so long, Auston had never exposed his pheromone scent in front of him, and had always used pheromone blockers.

Ruan Tang only remembered at this moment that he had never known what Auston’s pheromone smelled like.

He knew almost nothing about this husband.

Auston never touched him, except for sucking him to ask him to tell stories, he was extremely gentlemanly to him, never exposed his pheromones in front of him, and had always lived in separate rooms from him.

In the past, Ruan Tang had always enjoyed this.

But now, Ruan Tang felt a little different.

He wanted to see Auston’s appearance, smell his pheromone scent, and also wanted to be marked by him.

“There’s nothing good to smell, you get away from me, keep your distance!” Auston’s wheelchair was pushed back a long way by Ruan Tang, and he shouted loudly at Ruan Tang: “How can you be so shameless, you omega!”

What about the omega being timid, conservative, shy and timid?

How was his omega getting bolder and bolder, and almost riding on his head?

“I want to know what my husband smells like, how am I shameless?” The more he was like this, the more Ruan Tang wanted to provoke him, constantly testing his bottom line: “You smell my pheromone every day, and I haven’t said anything, now it’s tit for tat, it shouldn’t be too much if I want to smell yours, right?”

Auston, who was so safe that he couldn’t be safer, had never thought that he would be taken advantage of by an omega one day, and immediately scolded again: “Don’t come any closer, get away from me!”

Ruan Tang ignored it and kept getting closer to him.

Just then, the servant responsible for taking care of Tang Yun and her children suddenly broke in, saving Auston who was almost forced into the corner by Ruan Tang.

“Madam, Your Grace…” He looked at Auston, who was being forced to the corner by Ruan Tang, in disbelief and was extremely shocked.

He had long known that Auston doted on Ruan Tang, but in their eyes, it was just doting. No one had ever thought that Auston could really let Ruan Tang ride on his head. Ruan Tang dared to be so bold and casual in front of Auston.

The servant’s eyes were full of shock, and his eyes on Ruan Tang suddenly changed, and he even called Ruan Tang first without paying attention.

Auston wanted to regain some face in front of the shocked servant, and immediately shook off Ruan Tang’s hand, and looked at the male servant very seriously and said: “What’s the matter?”

This clueless male servant better have something important, otherwise he wouldn’t spare him.

“Your Grace, Madam, the monitoring device for Young Master Ruan Yang just showed that Young Master Ruan Yang’s brain waves had a slight fluctuation.” The male servant usually didn’t dare to provoke Auston, the evil star. This time, he had something serious to disturb him, so when he came back to his senses, he took a deep breath and narrated.

Ruan Tang was completely stunned, his heart was in a mess: “My brother—”

Ruan Yang had an accident on the battlefield back then, and all the damage to his body was repaired in the first time, but he had never woken up. To put it nicely, he was a vegetative person, but in fact, his EEG had been a straight line for many years, and it was no different from a brain-dead living dead.

It was just that Tang Yun and Ruan Yue refused to give up on him, and Ruan Ming, although unfeeling, also had a deep feeling for this eldest son and was unwilling to let him die.

The Ruan family was rich, and had been using money and medicine to keep him alive.

No one could expect him to wake up, but now his brain waves had a slight fluctuation…

What did the fluctuation of brain waves represent? It represented that Ruan Yang had broken away from the state of brain death, and was it possible to wake up?

Ruan Tang didn’t bother to chat with Auston, and rushed to Ruan Yang’s bedroom in the first time. Looking at Ruan Yang, who was still in a coma as in the past, he didn’t know if this time God really favored them and let a miracle happen.

In less than half an hour, the most authoritative brain expert in Imperial Star, who was known by everyone in Imperial Star to be able to snatch people from the King of Hell, was invited home by Auston.

“There are indeed some slight brain wave fluctuations, but these signs are too subtle, and they disappeared after a while…” After the expert performed a detailed examination of Ruan Yang, he looked at Ruan Tang with a solemn expression, but sighed.

Ruan Tang’s heart was a little flustered, and he was extremely nervous: “Doctor, since there are brain wave activity signs, it means that my brother has not completely brain-dead, so can this situation be cured? Can he still wake up?”

Although Ruan Tang was very young when Ruan Yang had an accident, and his impression was not particularly deep, he clearly remembered that his brother, who was old enough to be his father, was the pride and hope of the whole family. Although he was often stationed at the border and did not come back often, he was very good to him and loved him very much. He would put him on his shoulders and find delicious and fun things all over Imperial Star as soon as he came back…

He completely fulfilled the responsibility of being an elder brother like a father.

“His brain wave fluctuations are really too weak. There are only two treatment options now.” The doctor deliberated for a while and said solemnly: “One is conservative treatment. This treatment is very safe, but his brain wave activity is too weak. After treatment, he may lie like this for ten or twenty years or even a lifetime, and there is only a very small chance that he will wake up…”

Ruan Tang immediately urged: “What about the other one?”

“The other one is a highly stimulating treatment for the brain. This treatment, as long as there are signs of brain wave activity, has a high probability of curing and waking him up. But once it fails, it will completely brain-dead and there will be no chance of waking up.” The doctor hesitated for a while and said: “As a family member, you must consider it carefully.”

Ruan Tang fell into a daze, and did not come back to his senses for a long time, and his breathing was extremely heavy.

This treatment only had two possibilities for Ruan Yang. Conservative treatment was to maintain the status quo and let him continue to sleep like this, hoping that a miracle would happen and he would be able to wake up one day.

And the other one was either to die completely or to live completely—

As the only conscious relative now, looking at Ruan Yang sleeping soundly on the bed, Ruan Tang really didn’t know how to choose the most correct one for Ruan Yang in the face of such a major decision.
