AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 46

Auston didn’t expect to hear such a ridiculous statement from Zhou Yao. He chuckled instantly, but his eyes were extremely cold: “Ruan Tang is my Omega, what right do you have to stand here and tell me to let him go?”

Zhou Yao’s father held a high position and was a cherished only son, having grown up spoiled. Even facing Auston, the infamous devil of the Imperial Star, he wasn’t that afraid.

However, Auston’s sinister gaze still made his body stiffen involuntarily. He struggled to force out a voice from his throat, “You… if you really like him, you should know that you and he are not suitable.”

“Whether he and I are suitable is not for you to decide,” Auston said coldly, sending shivers down his spine.

The disparity in their status was so great that even if Zhou Yao wanted to speak, he didn’t know what grounds or reasons he could use to confront Auston.

Zhou Yao was instantly at a loss for words.

Auston laughed mockingly, “However, I am curious where Young Master Zhou gets the confidence to say these things to me. Is it because you were once his fiancé, and you once degraded him to the dust, making him suffer the world’s condemnation for that Ruan Xi?”

“Now that you know you were wrong, regret it, and don’t commit suicide to apologize for your stupidity, you actually have the nerve to come and pester him? It’s utterly ridiculous.” It had been many years since anyone had dared to speak to him like this. Auston sincerely admired his courage. “You didn’t seek his consent when proposing, and the annulment was such an ugly scene. Now, you dare to say such things in front of me. I really don’t know whether to say Young Master Zhou is simply stupid, or extremely selfish and self-righteous?”

He wouldn’t even treat his own pets that he cared for like this. This Zhou Yao spoke of caring and liking Ruan Tang, yet he did such disgusting things. Auston found it utterly laughable.

He had seen many Alphas like this, and he despised them the most.

Zhou Yao had been a pampered and arrogant darling since childhood. He had never been slapped in the face like this, especially in front of Ruan Tang. But damn it, Auston’s words struck at his core.

His face turned pale, and he felt as if he were being pricked by needles, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

“If I were him, I would feel disgusted and nauseous seeing someone like you pestering me every day,” Auston said, not letting him off the hook, each word cold to the extreme.

What was Zhou Yao? What kind of Alpha was he?

Zhou Yao’s face turned extremely ugly in an instant, filled with shame. He didn’t even dare to look at Ruan Tang again.

After hearing Auston’s words, he wondered what Ruan Tang would think of him.

And Ruan Tang, after hearing Auston’s words, watched the always self-righteous Zhou Yao become so embarrassed. He finally felt the pent-up frustration in his heart dissipate.

He looked at Auston’s masked face, with only a pair of bright blue eyes showing, and felt that even sitting in a wheelchair, the Alpha was filled with unparalleled charm.

Unconsciously, Ruan Tang’s eyes were filled with starlight as he looked at Auston.

“Let me tell you,” Auston felt uncomfortable being stared at like that, so he immediately shifted his gaze and no longer looked at him. His peripheral vision swept over Zhou Yao and Wen Run as he warned, word by word, “This Omega is mine in life, and my ghost in death.”

In his eyes, these two people were not worthy of pestering Ruan Tang.

He originally wanted to say some harsh words as a warning, but touching the starlight in Ruan Tang’s eyes, and thinking about Ruan Tang’s feelings for him, he was afraid that Ruan Tang would misunderstand even more and not be able to move on…

With the intention of scaring Ruan Tang, he immediately added, “Even if I am going to die in the future, I will kill him first to be buried with me.”

There was nothing to like about him. He was selfish, willful, sinister, vicious, and tyrannical. He hoped that this Omega would see the truth as soon as possible and turn back from the wrong path.

His voice was eerie and strange, like a monster crawling out of hell…

It sent chills down people’s spines.

But Ruan Tang was inexplicably not afraid at all.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yao immediately perked up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. He rushed out with a protective stance and said urgently to Ruan Tang, “Ruan Tang, do you see? This person is so terrible and tyrannical, how can you continue to stay with him?”

Before he could get close to Ruan Tang, Auston snapped his fingers. His personal guards, who were hiding not far away, immediately rushed up and dragged Zhou Yao away from Ruan Tang.

Ruan Tang calmly watched Zhou Yao being dragged away, but he was not afraid of Auston’s terrifying words. He just glanced at Zhou Yao very coldly and said without thinking, “…If there is such a day, I am willing to die with you, my lord.”

The moment he said those words, even Ruan Tang himself was stunned for a moment. But after calming down, he felt that everything was so natural.

If Auston were to die one day, he would be willing to be buried with him.

As soon as he said this, Wen Run and Zhou Yao both looked at him in surprise. They couldn’t imagine that Auston’s helping hand in his plight had such a great impact on him.

Auston was also shocked when he heard the Omega’s words. He had never been confessed to like this before. Hearing Ruan Tang’s almost-confession, he was a little panicked and no longer dared to look at Ruan Tang. He signaled his personal guards to press Zhou Yao in front of him, forcing him to lower his head in humiliation and bend his back.

Zhou Yao was immediately frightened and panicked.

He had never faced Auston directly. Because of his father, he had met Auston a few times, but this legendary Bluebeard Duke had never done anything to him.

But now, he clearly felt that Auston Camishiel was indeed a man-eating demon.

Auston deeply gripped his chin, forcing him to look at himself in extreme humiliation, and mocked, “What are you? How dare you flaunt your power in front of me?”

His powerful mental pressure directly attacked Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao had been a favored son for two generations and had never felt such humiliation or the disparity in power between himself and others. Affected by Auston’s mental pressure, his whole body trembled slightly, and he couldn’t hear what Auston was saying at all.

At this moment, he truly felt that Auston could kill him at any time, and he was powerless to resist, unable to even break free.

He almost thought that Auston was really going to kill him in the next second.

“I still have some friendship with Marshal Zhou, so I won’t touch his precious only son that he finally obtained.” Auston looked at him struggling to death in his hands, unable to fight back, and sneered, suddenly letting go. “But Marshal Zhou has been fighting all his life, yet he got such a son. I really feel sad for him.”

The moment he was released, Zhou Yao’s mind went blank, and his whole body involuntarily felt a sense of relief from surviving a disaster.

“Someone, send Young Master Zhou back and have a good talk with Marshal Zhou! I believe that Marshal Zhou will definitely give me an explanation and teach this ignorant young master a good lesson.” As soon as he finished speaking, Auston snapped his fingers and directly had Zhou Yao dragged away.

He would give Marshal Zhou face and not directly touch his son, but as long as he had someone escort Zhou Yao and repeat what Zhou Yao had done to Marshal Zhou,

Auston believed that Marshal Zhou was a smart man and would definitely give him an explanation and teach this ignorant young master a good lesson.

Ruan Tang watched Zhou Yao being dragged away and was about to say something to Auston, “My lord…”

“Hurry up and leave!” Auston didn’t give him a chance to finish speaking. He glared at him and urged him to leave, pushing his wheelchair.

Ruan Tang responded and followed Auston’s wheelchair to leave.

Wen Run stood behind him with a pale face and called out, “Ruan Tang…”

“Wen Run, I have already said everything that needs to be said. I will not forgive you, and I don’t want to see you again.” Ruan Tang didn’t turn back to look at him, but stopped and said coldly, “But—if you are really Ruan Yue’s son, I will allow you to visit your mother when I am not around.”

He would never forgive Wen Run, nor would he forgive anyone who had hurt him.

But if Wen Run was really Ruan Yue’s son, Ruan Tang felt that he had no right to separate them and prevent them from recognizing each other… After all, if Wen Run was really Ruan Yue’s son, contact with Ruan Yue should also be beneficial to Ruan Yue’s condition…

This was what Ruan Tang had always wanted to say to Wen Run after learning about Wen Run’s background.

Now that he had the opportunity to meet him today, Ruan Tang decided to say it directly… From now on, even if they were blood relatives, they would still go their separate ways and never entangle again…

“…Okay, I understand. I won’t bother you again.” Wen Run’s heart was torn, but he still said, word by word, “If I have time, I will visit Miss.”

He knew that he was not worthy of expecting Ruan Tang’s forgiveness. Since Ruan Tang had already made a choice for the future, he would no longer appear in front of Ruan Tang to disturb him as long as Ruan Tang was safe.

Ruan Tang didn’t say anything and immediately walked away.

Wen Run looked at his back, but knew that they would never be able to return to the past.

…

Ruan Tang and Auston got into the duke’s hovercar one after the other. Auston sat in the hovercar, and the two were speechless. Auston immediately felt a little bored and took the initiative to talk to Ruan Tang, “That Zhou Yao was your former fiancé?”

Ruan Tang was speechless, “…”

“Didn’t you already know that, my lord?” Ruan Tang felt that he really couldn’t understand this lunatic’s thought process most of the time. “Why do you have to ask when you already know?”

Hearing the sarcasm in his tone, Auston immediately frowned slightly and glared at Ruan Tang, mocking, “It’s nothing. I just think your eyes were quite bad in the past. You could even fancy someone like that.”

Although he felt that he was not a very good Alpha, Auston still felt that Zhou Yao was the scum of all scums.

If it were him, if he really liked an Omega, even if the whole world was against him and believed that he was a black-hearted lotus, he would stand by his beloved’s side to support him. Even if he was really a black-hearted lotus, he would destroy the evidence for him and hand him the knife… Even if he didn’t believe in love, Auston felt that only by doing this would he be worthy of saying the word “like.”

Auston couldn’t commend a fool like Zhou Yao.

Ruan Tang was even engaged to him. It was simply infuriating.

“My eyes were indeed quite bad in the past.” Ruan Tang didn’t mind the attack in his words, and just looked at him straightly, “But as long as I know my mistakes and can correct them, and my eyes are no longer bad now, isn’t that good enough?”

Ruan Tang sincerely felt that Auston was very good. Although he didn’t treat him as his partner now, but only as a toy, he could be so good to a toy. If he really had a loved one, he would treat his lover so well that he wouldn’t know what to do…

Ruan Tang didn’t know what kind of person Auston was in other people’s eyes, but he felt and believed that if he became a partner, he would be the best and most gentle partner in the world.

Although Auston was crazy, he still had some intuition in this regard. From the moment Ruan Tang wanted to take off his mask, Auston had already discovered that this Omega definitely had designs on him.

But he didn’t take Ruan Tang’s bait, and just mocked, “I don’t think you’re any better now.”

Auston felt that Ruan Tang was definitely not a normal Omega.

“Zhou Yao and I actually didn’t have anything going on. At that time, I had just been divorced by Shen Mozhi, and the gene matching bureau matched me with him. Our families were well-matched, and both sets of parents were quite satisfied with each other. In order to cover up the embarrassment of my previous marriage, my father quickly arranged our engagement.” Ruan Tang knew that he didn’t want to continue this topic, so he didn’t force it and started talking about the beginning and end of his engagement with Zhou Yao.

Auston chuckled and didn’t say anything.

The marriages of unpopular noble Omegas were mostly exchanges of interests between families and were not up to them. From Shen Mozhi to Zhou Yao to himself, this was the norm in the Dias noble circle. Most Omegas were just tools for marriage.

Auston had long known this.

“I didn’t think much at the time, and felt that it didn’t seem to make much difference who I married, so I agreed to the engagement. It was very rushed. Actually, thinking about it carefully, there was no emotional foundation between him and me…” Ruan Tang didn’t care about his attitude and continued to recall the past.

Although he had been engaged several times, it was laughable to say that Ruan Tang felt that he had truly been moved by someone for the first time when he met Auston, liked someone…

In the past, he had always known that his marriage was not something he could decide, so he never cared who his marriage partner was. It could be anyone, as long as he could live in peace and protect himself, his mother, and his siblings.

Until he met Auston, he wanted to choose such an Alpha for the first time.

When Auston rescued him from danger countless times and stood up to protect him, he was already his choice, not a last resort. He didn’t want to replace him with anyone. He had decided that it had to be him and he wanted him.

Even if he didn’t know his appearance or the smell of his pheromones.

Auston glared at him and interrupted, “Why are you explaining so much to me for no reason?”

He didn’t want to know about Ruan Tang’s past at all.

“It’s nothing. It’s just that you suddenly asked about Zhou Yao. I thought you were jealous.” Ruan Tang waved his hand and teased.

In fact, many times, Auston gave him a kind of illusion, but he knew clearly that it wasn’t.

Sure enough, as soon as Ruan Tang said this, Auston immediately sneered sarcastically, “Me? Jealous of you? Are you dreaming? I’m just afraid that your brain isn’t clear and you’re being stupid about that Zhou Yao again.”

As if he had heard some great joke.

Ruan Tang had always been very clear about this. Because Auston’s eyes didn’t have a trace of infatuation, it felt the same as treating Simba. Therefore, even if the entire Imperial Star was rumored that Auston was infatuated with him and fascinated by him, Ruan Tang could still remain clear-headed.

He knew that Auston was good to him and praised him to the sky not because he liked him so much, but because Auston’s personality was such that he loved and wanted to keep him alive and hated and wanted to kill him…

He was good to him just because he thought his face was good-looking, smelled good, and could make him happy and comfortable by telling stories. He was willing to spoil such people or things.

In the eyes of others, Auston changed the climate of the entire mansion for him, bought him the most expensive things, and provided him with the best of everything as long as he wanted it. He must have loved him to death. But in reality, this was just because Simba couldn’t speak. If Simba could speak, Ruan Tang believed that Auston’s personality would definitely be able to do the same to Simba.

He was good to him like seeing a cute cat. He was originally forced to take it and was a little disgusted or even hated it. But after getting along, he found that some of his cute points had hit him, so he began to spoil and protect it. This had nothing to do with emotions.

Ruan Tang was very self-aware and knew that he was very lackluster except for a face. There was really nothing worth Auston liking and loving to death.

“Of course I know I’m dreaming, cough cough…” Ruan Tang faced this reality very calmly, but because he had caught a cold last night, he suddenly sneezed and coughed.

Auston frowned immediately when he saw him like this. He grabbed his hand and found that his palm was cold. He immediately blamed, “Why are your hands so cold? I told you to pay attention to keeping warm. Why don’t you listen? I told you long ago that you Omegas have bad physiques.”

His face was full of disgust that Ruan Tang couldn’t even take care of himself.

As he spoke, he immediately turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the car. He was clearly very afraid of heat, but he still prioritized Ruan Tang’s feelings when making a choice.

Ruan Tang took in these details and felt that even normal Alphas wouldn’t be so patient and meticulous, taking care of Omegas in every way.

Therefore, even if he knew that Auston didn’t love him, how could Ruan Tang not be moved by him?

Ruan Tang silently looked at Auston’s profile and didn’t say anything.

Auston looked at him with a gloomy face, worried that this delicate Omega was uncomfortable. He squinted at him for a while and immediately took out a candy from his arms and suddenly stuffed it into Ruan Tang’s mouth.

Ruan Tang was stunned by his sudden action of stuffing something into his mouth. Immediately afterwards, the sweet taste of the candy filled his entire tongue and taste buds, making him feel sweet all over and his mood improved a lot.

Ruan Tang immediately asked him in confusion, “My lord, why did you suddenly feed me candy?”

Even if he treated him as a pet, he wasn’t a real pet. He didn’t need to bring things to feed him at a fixed time.

“Vincent said that when you Omegas are in a bad mood, eating something sweet can make you feel better.” Auston looked at him with disgust and said without thinking, “I saw that you were in a bad mood today and disgusted by that idiot again, so I was afraid you would cry.”

Ruan Tang raised the corners of his mouth when he saw him like this, “My lord, you are so gentle.”

No wonder he had misunderstandings.

“…Don’t think too much.” Auston had never felt that he had anything to do with the word “gentle” in his life, so he said with a constipated face, “I’m good to you just because being good to you makes me happy, not because I want to make you happy.”

He was really afraid that this stupid Omega would be too affectionate with him and be hurt too deeply by him. Therefore, he decided to tell Ruan Tang clearly.

He was such a willful person who only loved himself. Don’t have any misunderstandings.

Ruan Tang didn’t say anything and looked at him with an increasingly smiling face.

He only felt that the Alpha in front of him was incomparably cute. In the past, marrying Auston was his last resort, a choice that he had to follow. Even though he knew that the path that this Alpha’s parents had arranged for him in the future was a dead end, he had never thought about changing anything and just wanted to live his own life well.

But now, looking at the Alpha in front of him, Ruan Tang suddenly had a thought—

Auston’s personality was such that he was willful and unreasonable. Everyone couldn’t accept him. He didn’t want to change him anymore. He wanted to become stronger and protect him.

In the past, he had tried his best to stay away from the chaos and not be a pawn in the hands of others. But now, looking at Auston and their current embarrassing and difficult situation, Ruan Tang suddenly wanted to enter the game and fight for him to be the one who played the chess.

Auston saw Ruan Tang eating the candy so sweetly and immediately felt a little itchy. He also peeled off a candy that Omegas were said to like and stuffed it into his mouth, wanting to taste it.

But as soon as it entered his mouth, as a savory person, he couldn’t stand the sweetness. He only felt that it was too greasy and frowned and spat out the candy, disgusted, “Ptooey, what is this? You Omegas like it so sweet. Aren’t you afraid of being cloyed? Sure enough, your Omegas’ taste buds are different from normal people, right?”

Ruan Tang, “…”

“…My lord, you bought this candy and stuffed it in my mouth.” The disgusted Omega felt that he should defend himself.

Moreover, as far as he knew, this candy was clearly used to replenish sugar and nutrition for Omegas who had severe fluid loss during estrus. It was concentrated, so of course it was sweet and greasy…

But facing such an unreasonable lunatic, Ruan Tang felt that he had nowhere to reason and could only swallow his anger.

Gentle ideal type my ass?

Only he didn’t mind this crazy and unreasonable idiot. What reason did Auston have to dislike him?
