The two of them remained calm in front of outsiders and continued chatting and laughing as usual, but in their hearts, there were turbulent waves.
Ruan Tang did intend to take advantage of the situation and trick Austin, but he knew that Austin had been wearing a mask and was actually somewhat concerned about the flaws on his face.
Therefore, he thought that if this matter was exposed, Auston would use other methods to help him get over the matter and would be honest with him in private later.
But I never thought about——
Austin actually took off his mask in public for him, exposing his unwilling face to the world.
This made Ruan Tang shocked, but also unable to help but be moved and feel guilty.
He looked at Auston quietly for a long time, thinking about how to talk to Auston.
Ruan Tang tried to remain calm and thought for a long time. As soon as he left the banquet and got on the Duke's Mansion's hovercraft, he pretended to be calm and said, "Should I call you the Duke now, or Set?"
The shock of Auston taking off his mask was so great that he couldn't find any better words to start with and just wanted to continue acting according to his original plan.
"You did it on purpose, didn't you? You actually knew it a long time ago. You were just trying to trick me, right?" Unexpectedly, Auston didn't give him the chance to perform. He interrupted him directly, grabbed his wrist, and questioned him fiercely in anger.
Austin is not a fool. As long as he calms down and thinks about it carefully, he will realize that with Ruan Xi's current status and position, how could he possibly attend such a banquet to humiliate Ruan Tang? Ruan Tang had tried her best to persuade him to attend the banquet before, and he remained calm when Ruan Xi accused him in public.
Austin knew that even if Ruan Tang was not involved, he must have known about Ruan Xi's plan to deal with him. He chose to go with the flow just to trick himself.
It’s ridiculous that I fell into the trap of this OMEGA.
Even though he knew it was a trick, he still stood up immediately when he heard someone insulting OMEGA and slandering his reputation. He jumped down without caring about anything else to protect OMEGA's reputation.
My first reaction after the incident was that I was still worried about how to deal with this OMEGA after my identity was exposed.
Fortunately, the banquet lasted long enough to give Austin enough time to calm down and come up with such a good idea of taking the initiative.
Ruan Tang blinked and looked at him innocently: "Sir, what are you talking about? I don't know."
But the words that came out of his mouth sounded more like cuteness and were not very convincing.
"Don't treat me like an idiot!" Auston glared at him and became more and more angry.
He grew up in a royal family full of intrigue and deception. As long as he was willing to think about it carefully, there was nothing in Ruan Tang's tricks that he could not see through.
He just didn't want to think about the fact that he couldn't control his own body, that his body had its own thoughts and was willing to fall into the trap.
But this is no reason for the over-aggressive OMEGA to take advantage of him or even try to fool him.
"Even if I am trying to trick you, you were the one who tricked me first." Seeing that he had spoken frankly and was no longer hiding anything, Ruan Tang no longer had the heart to continue pretending and spoke directly.
In fact, it was not impossible for him to continue acting crazy and stupid, and to refuse to admit that he had tricked Auston. But the moment he saw Auston taking off his mask, Ruan Tang could no longer act.
When Ruan Tang was trying to trick Austin and let Ruan Xi frame him, he had imagined countless possibilities in his mind, countless countermeasures to be prepared for any eventuality, to kill multiple birds with one stone, so that he would always be invincible. He even considered the possibility that Austin would grit his teeth and refuse to acknowledge or defend him, and that he would divorce him.
But he never expected that Auston would give up his bottom line for him again and again.
It only took a moment for Auston to take off the mask, but the shock it brought to Ruan Tang's heart was indescribable.
At that moment, Ruan Tang finally realized that only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity, and that Auston's kindness to him was so genuine. If he continued to pretend and test him, he would be unworthy of Auston.
And now is the best time for them to be frank and honest——
Therefore, he no longer wanted to act in front of Austin, nor did he want to deceive him in any way.
Auston didn't expect that even though he had taken the initiative, he could still be speechless by Ruan Tang. He was immediately furious: "You——"
It was totally unimaginable what Ruan Tang was thinking when he said such a thing. Since he had known for a long time that Set was him, how did he view him for such a long time? Why did he deliberately play tricks on him?
In order to hide his panic, he looked ferocious and extremely terrifying.
"It was obviously you who tricked me first, Master. It wasn't enough that you wore a mask to seduce me every day, you also took off the mask and pretended to be a servant to come to my side and change my clothes, touch my feet, and give me everything I wanted to seduce me... It's normal for me to fall into the trap and want to trick you back, Master. After all, it was you who teased me first..." Ruan Tang looked at Austin steadily, with stars twinkling in her eyes.
When he stares at people like this, he gives people a very affectionate feeling, as if his eyes can only see the person in front of him.
Auston's breath was choked by his gaze, and he immediately turned his eyes away, angrily cursing: "Who the hell seduced you?"
"Yes, I did know that you are Set and Set is you, but I pretended not to know. But you gave me the opportunity to pretend not to know and take advantage of the situation to trick you." Ruan Tang looked at Austin deeply: "Sir, tell me, is this half-hearted and half-hearted, playing hard to get?"
He didn't give Austin a chance to escape: "Otherwise, why did you reject me and secretly come to see me disguised as a servant? Why did you repeatedly break your principles and take off your mask in public to protect me?"
"Shut up!" Austin was so angry that he wanted to sew Ruan Tang's mouth shut.
His heart was beating nervously and disorderly, but when he heard Ruan Tang clearly tell him that she had always known that he was Set, he felt uncontrollably happy.
He couldn't help but think, oh, it turns out he had known all along, he did it on purpose...it turns out the person he had liked from the beginning to the end was me.
Auston could hardly suppress his joy.
"Oh, yes, there are also surveillance cameras... I don't know where Ruan Xi got the surveillance cameras from, but first of all, there must be surveillance cameras in my room for him to get them, right? Who in the entire Duke's Mansion can install surveillance cameras in my room?" Ruan Tang looked straight at Auston, determined not to give him a chance to escape: "Sir, why did you install surveillance cameras in my room? Is it because when you and I are not together, you still want to see me often through surveillance cameras?"
Austin's behavior of installing surveillance cameras in his room was a bit paranoid and perverted, but Ruan Tang surprisingly did not find it scary, and even found it a bit sweet.
When Austin faced Ruan Tang, he almost wanted to flee on the spot.
But the small space of the hovercraft left no place for him to escape...
And it would be ridiculous if he, an ALPHA, was chased by an OMEGA and had to flee.
"I didn't deliberately install surveillance to spy on you. There are surveillance cameras in your room. It's you who have impure thoughts and think too much." It took Austin a long time to squeeze out the rebuttal from his throat.
But Ruan Tang didn't listen to anything. She just grabbed Austin's wrist and leaned over to kiss him again.
As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. Ruan Tang already has experience in forcibly kissing an Alpha who says one thing and means another.
Auston didn't expect this OMEGA to be so bold. He knew he was the Duke but still dared to do this. His face flushed red, and he pushed Ruan Tang away in a rage: "What are you doing? How can you be so dissolute? Do you still know that you are an OMEGA? Do you know what shame is?"
"Oh, I thought that since you didn't sign the divorce agreement, it meant that I had the right to do this to you." Ruan Tang released her pheromones and whispered in Austin's ear.
Austin remained silent. His nose was filled with the pheromone scent of Ruan Tang, which was neither orchid nor plum. He suddenly became distracted and wanted to push Ruan Tang away.
Ruan Tang's kiss covered him again, but this time she didn't kiss his lips, but the hideous and ugly scar on his face.
Ruan Tang gently kissed the uneven scarlet scar on Austin's face, carefully and without any desire, as if she was afraid of hurting him and cherishing him very much, and she devoutly kissed every inch of his injured skin.
Auston had never thought that Ruan Tang would kiss something so ugly, something that even he himself despised. Such a loving and cherishing kiss made him stunned, and his body became stiff and unable to move.
"Does it still hurt?" Ruan Tang whispered in his ear while kissing his face gently.
Looking at such hideous scars, he did not feel scared or frightened in his heart, but he could not help but feel distressed and painful for Auston. Auston was so young, only in his teens, and he suffered such serious injuries. When he woke up, not only did he not get any comfort from his parents, but he got the news that he was abandoned by them. It must have been very uncomfortable, right?
It’s a pity that I didn’t know him at that time and couldn’t be with him.
It was the first time that Austin was kissed like this. In Ruan Tang's gentle, soothing, and even somewhat holy kiss, his emotions gradually calmed down. He never thought that Ruan Tang would ask such a question, but he still answered truthfully: "...It doesn't hurt anymore, why are you asking?"
Ruan Tang gently released her hand and retreated to a safe distance again. She looked straight at Auston without dodging or avoiding. "I just think you must have been in pain and uncomfortable at that time, right?"
"...Nothing, I forgot about it a long time ago." Austin didn't expect Ruan Tang to ask such a question, and felt a little embarrassed.
It happened so long ago that he no longer remembered what happened. He only remembered the heart-wrenching pain and the despair of being abandoned by his mother, which was like falling into hell.
Ruan Tang looked at him deeply, gently and calmly, without saying a word.
Auston looked into his inky black eyes and suddenly asked, "Now that you know what I look like, do you think my face is ugly?"
He had asked Ruan Tang this question once when he was still a male servant.
But today, he asked again.
