AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 89

Iso’s face immediately turned extremely ugly, but he still maintained his composure and said, “Your Imperial Highness is right. Since Ryan has finally found an Alpha, it is naturally not my place as his uncle to interfere.”

The implication of his words was that Ryan couldn’t find an Alpha, so he finally managed to find one with great difficulty.

But Prince Andrew seemed not to understand human language and happily said to the Emperor, “Your Majesty, you see, even the Chief Imperial Scribe believes that Ruan Yang Major General and my Ryan are a match made in heaven, a perfect pair. They are a match made in heaven, so why should we care about those rumors? What reason do you have to disagree with their marriage?”

Upon hearing this, the Emperor immediately nodded and said, “In that case, today I shall take it upon myself to betroth Major General Ruan Yang and Ryan.”

The Emperor only wanted Ruan Yang to marry into the imperial family, to marry an imperial Omega. Whether it was Iso or Ryan, he didn’t really care that much.

In fact, compared to the scheming and ambitious Iso, the Emperor found the clueless Prince Andrew much easier to control and closer to him.

As for why Ruan Yang, as Iso’s ex-boyfriend, suddenly fell in love with Ryan… as an Alpha, he had no doubts at all.

After all, putting himself in their shoes, which Alpha wouldn’t like a young and beautiful Omega?

“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Ruan Yang immediately nodded in thanks.

The Emperor immediately laughed and said, “Major General Ruan Yang, from now on you are my nephew-in-law. Why do you still call me Your Majesty? Just call me Uncle like Ryan does. I think you are destined to be family with me.”

The engagement between Ruan Yang and Ryan was thus settled, and everyone quickly left the palace.

Iso remained silent along the way, obviously acknowledging the marriage between his ex-boyfriend and his nephew. Only when he and Ruan Yang were about to head towards their respective hovercrafts did he say, “Ruan Yang, you’re really ruthless,” he looked at Ruan Yang from behind, his anger reaching its peak, “Do you really hate me so much that you have to make things so extreme, to the point of no return?”

He didn’t believe that Ruan Yang would actually fall in love with Ryan, that immature little brat.

Ruan Yang was expressionless, without even a hint of turning his head. He merely left Iso with a faint sentence, “I’m sorry, Your Highness. I don’t think Your Highness and I are that familiar, nor do I think there is anything between us that can be undone.”

Everything between him and Iso had ended decades ago.

No matter what Iso thought, he would ultimately be unable to mend the broken mirror…

“Doesn’t think we’re that familiar, and doesn’t think there’s anything between us that can be undone. Ruan Yang, good, very good,” Iso said through gritted teeth, his eyes almost bleeding in that instant.

This time, Ruan Yang didn’t even have the thought of replying to him. He simply stepped forward and boarded his hovercraft.

Iso watched his cold and almost resolute back, his hands clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh.

The news of Ruan Yang and Ryan’s engagement instantly became a certainty, spreading throughout the aristocratic circles of Imperial Star. Faced with this complex relationship, they simply didn’t know whether to think of it as a nephew stealing his uncle’s fiancé, or Ruan Yang getting together with his ex-boyfriend’s nephew after breaking up, and having to call his ex-boyfriend uncle.

Regarding such a rare imperial scandal, the Imperial Star nobles simply chose to silently watch the drama, and by the way, sighed that Major General Ruan Yang, although he had been in a coma for many years, his personal charm had not diminished.

As for this marriage, Ruan Tang, as his younger brother, didn’t express much. He believed that Ruan Yang was already an adult and would have his own sense of propriety in everything he did. Whether it was Ryan or Iso, as long as it was his elder brother’s choice, Ruan Tang would respect it…

He felt that as long as his most respected elder brother was happy, that was enough.

Ruan Tang originally planned to meet his future sister-in-law, but he was too busy to spare the time.

The reason for his busyness was none other than the fact that his 29th birthday was approaching.

When Ruan Tang and Auston got married, because he was not favored, although he was nominally the Duchess, in reality, he was just a breeding tool. There was no grand celebration, and even Auston himself didn’t attend the wedding banquet.

But less than a year later, the situation was very different—

He was not only the head of the Ruan Family, the most beloved younger brother of Major General Ruan Yang, the Empress’s most trusted person, but also Auston’s most cherished partner.

Even if he wanted to keep it simple, Auston would never agree in order to make up for the absence at the wedding.

Auston not only wanted to hold a birthday banquet for Ruan Tang, but also wanted to hold a grand celebration.

Not only did he spend a lot of money, but he also started preparing many days in advance, and even invited all the celebrities of Imperial Star.

“Hello, my dear Duchess, happy birthday. You are getting more and more beautiful every day.” On the day of the birthday banquet, countless celebrities and nobles flocked to Ruan Tang’s side to greet him, the protagonist.

“Chairman Ruan is getting more and more beautiful, happy birthday,” they said to him.

Ruan Tang immediately politely thanked the group of gorgeously dressed men and women one by one, “Thank you.”

It was still the same venue as the wedding banquet, and still the same group of noble and elegant celebrities, but now Ruan Tang’s status, position, and situation were very different from before.

Not only had his mother and elder brother woken up and were by his side, but he also had his own lover.

Ruan Tang now felt incredibly happy.

Looking at the birthday banquet scene that he could hardly imagine in the past, Ruan Tang was feeling a little bored and was about to go find Auston.

“Long time no see, Ruan Tang…” Just then, a young Alpha male suddenly stopped him.

Ruan Tang was stunned for a long time before he recognized him, “It has indeed been a long time, Lieutenant Colonel Lu Yang.”

The person who came was none other than Lu Yang, a former colleague at the Research Institute who had advised Ruan Tang to elope with him but failed.

Ruan Tang didn’t expect to run into him on this occasion.

“I came with the seniors from the Research Institute. I’m sorry, now that I think about it, I owe you an apology…” Lu Yang looked at Ruan Tang somewhat awkwardly, “Back then, I was like I was possessed by a ghost. I was too foolish, too narrow-minded, and too arrogant. I must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?”

It was only now that he mustered up the courage to sincerely apologize to Ruan Tang.

Ruan Tang, however, obviously didn’t take this to heart and said very lightly, “It’s okay, it’s nothing. I don’t remember it anymore.”

Lu Yang was about to say something more when the music of the ball started playing.

According to the rules of the Imperial Star ball, as soon as the music starts, the people standing in the dance floor have to dance.

Ruan Tang was immediately stunned.

“I… can I have this dance with you?” Lu Yang looked at Ruan Tang awkwardly, reaching out his hand and very gentlemanly inviting him to dance.

Considering the etiquette of the ball, Ruan Tang was just planning to cope with Lu Yang and dance a little. Just as he reached out his hand, before his hand could touch Lu Yang’s, Auston had already appeared from nowhere and grabbed Lu Yang’s hand.

Everyone around was taken aback.

They looked at them in surprise.

After the exposure of the Interesting video with Ruan Tang, Auston rarely used a wheelchair anymore. In most cases, he wore prosthetic limbs.

Today, in order to match the birthday atmosphere of Ruan Tang, he also changed the mask that covered his entire face to a silver mask that only covered the scars on his face.

The degree of horror was greatly reduced, but his power was still there.

His rushing into the dance floor like this was actually a very rule-breaking behavior, but because it was done by him, no one dared to say anything.

Ruan Tang was immediately startled, “My Lord—”

Just as everyone present was looking at Auston with lingering fear, thinking that he would go crazy and hit someone in the next second, and deeply sympathizing with this unknown Alpha,

Auston grabbed Ruan Tang’s hand, looked deeply at Lu Yang, and answered his invitation on behalf of Ruan Tang, “No.”

“My Duchess can only dance with me.” After saying that, he looked intently at Ruan Tang, revealing a standard Alpha smile full of possessiveness.

His words were unreasonable, domineering, and did not conform to the rules of the ball…

But no one dared to refute him, and they all booed and echoed, “Yes, yes, Chairman Ruan’s dance can only be danced by the Duke, no one else can replace him.”

“That’s right, that’s right, especially the opening dance, it must be led by the Duke, right?”

“I have never seen Duke Auston dance.”

If it were in the past, Auston’s expression behind the mask would have been extremely frightening, but now he showed such an expression with this handsome face, which only made people feel inexplicably domineering and affectionate.

The noble ladies around him finally had the courage to boo.

Lu Yang looked at the people booing around him, and Auston and Ruan Tang, who were surrounded in the middle like a perfect couple, and immediately quietly retreated in disappointment, leaving the stage and the right to be lively to Ruan Tang and Auston.

He had said to Ruan Tang more than once that Auston was a devil, a pit of fire, and a cripple that no Omega would want to marry, but at this moment, he didn’t even have the qualification to be mentioned in the same breath as Auston.

“How is it? Can I have this dance with you? My Duchess.” Auston reached out to Ruan Tang, making a standard invitation to dance.

Ruan Tang smiled slightly and immediately returned the courtesy with a bow, and said softly, “Of course, my Lord.”

The two danced gracefully in the eyes of everyone, looking incomparably harmonious, beautiful, and normal.

“Hmph, I just left for a while, and you’re already attracting bees and butterflies. All kinds of flies are coming over. I knew you were a troublemaker! You can’t let people leave for a while.” But as the two got closer, Auston’s whisper in Ruan Tang’s ear revealed his true nature.

Holding him, Ruan Tang leaned closer and teasingly said in a low voice, “What? My Seth, are you jealous?”

“Jealous? You wish? I’m just afraid that you’ll be deceived.” Auston hugged him tightly, pressed his head to his shoulder, and sneered, “Just that coward just now actually had the nerve to invite you to elope. What is he? Doesn’t he have a mirror to look at himself? Is he worthy?”

How dare anyone seduce his Omega?

As soon as Ruan Tang saw him like this, he knew that he was definitely jealous, but he didn’t admit it, and immediately laughed, “If Your Lordship doesn’t want this kind of thing to happen, why do you want to hold a big banquet? You also know that holding a banquet is to inevitably have socializing and communication, right?”

He actually quite liked Auston’s possessiveness, so he wasn’t happy to hold any banquets.

If he attended other people’s banquets, he could hide on the side and not participate in dancing and socializing, but as the host, it wouldn’t be appropriate.

“How can that be? Today is your birthday, I must hold a grand celebration.” Unexpectedly, after hearing Ruan Tang’s words, Auston changed his usual tsundere attitude and looked at Ruan Tang seriously and deeply.

Ruan Tang was immediately stunned.

Auston suddenly thought of something and pulled his hand, “Come with me, I’ll take you to see something.”

“See what? This banquet is organized by us. It’s not good to just run away and leave others behind, right?” Ruan Tang was dragged by him and was a little confused and hesitated.

Auston insisted on pulling him out, “Who cares about them? Today is your birthday, you are the most important, everyone should make you happy.”

He had always been capricious and didn’t like to worry about other things.

Ruan Tang hesitated for a moment and saw that the people at the banquet were having a great time, and there were also Tang Yun and Ruan Yang entertaining them, so he quietly ran away with Auston.

The two of them were in the huge Duke’s Mansion, farther and farther away from the sound of the music, gradually away from the lively and bright place.

Auston held his hand tightly and led him around to a quiet place in the mansion that Ruan Tang rarely set foot in. The bright moon hung in the dark night sky, surrounded by silvery starlight.

Then, in this night, Ruan Tang saw large expanses of crabapple trees with gnarled trunks…

Tens of thousands of them united together, at first glance, they looked like a sea of flowers, like an incomparably gorgeous brocade. Scarlet, vermilion, bright red, and pink crabapple flowers were blooming in the night, bringing bursts of rich floral fragrance.

It was breathtaking.

“This is?” Ruan Tang couldn’t help but be stunned, a little dazed.

Auston stood in the sea of flowers, his mouth slightly raised, but he looked at him proudly, “Didn’t you say you wanted to see crabapple flowers before? I’ve brought them for you to see now.”

Ruan Tang had never received so many flowers in his life. What was even more rare was that Auston had remembered every casual word in his heart. He just wanted to see what crabapple flowers looked like, but Auston had found a sea of flowers for him.

Looking at these vibrant, brightly colored, and intricately rooted crabapple trees, Ruan Tang’s heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

Ruan Tang couldn’t help but ask him, “My Lord, why are you so good to me?”

“Of course, because you are my Omega, I want to make you happy.” Auston looked at him strangely, as if he had asked some stupid question, as a matter of course.

When he said this, the expression on his face was extremely serious, as if asking Ruan Tang: ‘If he wasn’t good to him, who else could he be good to?’

Ruan Tang smiled lightly, took a step forward, and suddenly took off Auston’s mask, deeply kissing his lips.

He keenly realized that Auston’s mindset towards him had changed from the initial ‘I’m being good to you just because I want to make myself happy, not because I want to make you happy’ to ‘I’m being good to you because I want to make you happy’, indicating that he had completely integrated into Auston’s heart.

Ruan Tang was simply satisfied beyond satisfaction with the current situation.
