There was a hint of sadness in Ruan Tang's eyes, and she looked extremely sad.
Aston looked at him like this, and his heart immediately tightened. He frowned and called out, "Madam."
He was thinking, maybe he did something wrong. No matter how he planned to deal with the relationship between him and Ruan Tang, Ruan Tang was so delicate and had just fallen ill...
Maybe I shouldn't be so cruel and should be more patient.
Ruan Tang sat there blankly for a long time, looking very sad. After being silent for a long time, she finally sighed and said, "Seth, maybe you are right."
Auston looked puzzled: "......?"
I had no idea what I had said to Ruan Tang.
"I have indeed never really understood Lord Austin." Ruan Tang looked at him deeply, and said word by word, "So, that's why he rejected me again and again, and even refused to come to see me when I was sick, right?"
The fact that Auston directly avoided the question and denied taking care of him for one night said it all.
Thinking back carefully to everything that happened when he and Austin first met, Ruan Tang discovered that the change in Austin's attitude towards him all started when he was not afraid of the servant's damaged face, applied medicine to him, and told him that appearance was not important.
Austin seemed conceited, but in fact he had very low self-esteem. When he was a servant, he had asked himself more than once whether he thought he was ugly and whether he was afraid of his face. Even when he was a duke, he always insisted on wearing a mask to cover his face so that no one could see his true appearance.
When he was a male servant, he often completely denied and despised himself as a duke, which further proved that deep down in his heart he was extremely inferior and concerned about his disability, and believed that no one would love him.
He is a hypocrite who always denies love and the things he likes. This shows that deep down in his heart he has always longed for a perfect love without any impurities. He hopes that someone can love him purely and completely without reservation and accept all his flaws and bad things.
She was mesmerized by his warmth and kept saying that she liked him, but she didn't realize it sooner or later, and she ended up disappointing him.
Ruan Tang stared at ALPHA in front of him, his mind racing, thinking a lot.
"Madam, why do you think so?" Aston interrupted him quickly when he heard him say that.
He didn't understand why this OMEGA, who was so good-looking and excellent in everything, and now had so many things, had so much in mind to belittle herself.
He looked at Ruan Tang steadily and said word by word: "The master rejected you and didn't come to see you. Maybe it's just because he doesn't like you enough and thinks you two are not suitable. It doesn't mean that you are not outstanding enough."
"Madam, you are so outstanding and now you have such a high status. Why do you have to waste your time on someone who doesn't have you in his heart and doesn't want to be with you?" Auston really didn't know what Ruan Tang saw in him.
I just feel very sad.
"Even if you don't have me in your heart, I still recognize him. I will only love him in this life, and I only want him to be my alpha." Ruan Tang's eyes were full of stars, and she said word by word with great determination: "In my eyes, he is irreplaceable, and he is the only one for me."
It was not the first time that Auston had heard Ruan Tang's straightforward confession. After hearing him confess to him again, Auston felt helpless and numb, and he did not want to refute or persuade him anymore.
He only glanced at Ruan Tang and said softly, "Madam, you just woke up and your illness is not healed yet. Take the medicine and porridge first."
Ruan Tang had not yet fully recovered, and he did not want to say anything to Ruan Tang that would spoil his mood.
Ruan Tang sighed, knowing that it would take time to conquer Austin, so she obediently ate the medicine and porridge that Austin handed to her.
After taking the medicine, he sent another message to Auston through his personal terminal: "Sir, I dreamed that you came to see me last night, and I also smelled your pheromones, which tasted like candy and were sweet... So, are your pheromones in reality just as sweet?"
Auston saw the communication as soon as possible, and he really wanted to reply to Ruan Tang that his pheromones tasted like Baileys, not candy.
But in the end, facing the current tangled relationship between him and Ruan Tang, he still didn't send a single word...
…
The sudden rise of the Tang family has created a sense of crisis among many aristocratic families on the Imperial Star. Many old-established nobles see that the Tang family can almost be regarded as the Queen's cronies because of Ruan Tang, and they are just waiting for the Emperor to take action to discipline the Tang family, or suppress Ruan Tang and Ruan Yang to prevent them from being promoted.
They took advantage of the opportunity to strike again and trample the Tang family, which had finally squeezed back into the list of the top ten families.
Thinking of this, many nobles who had previously wanted to annex the Ruan family and had been eyeing the former Ruan family, now the Tang family, all ran to the emperor and started to show their prowess.
Unexpectedly, the emperor, who had been ruthless and had been trying to check and balance the power of all families related to the Queen, acted contrary to his usual behavior. Not only did he not take action to check and balance the Tang family, he also rewarded and praised Ruan Tang's brother Ruan Yang, who had just woken up, in front of everyone.
It seems that Ruan Yang will be reused and supported in the future, which really confuses all those who are waiting to take advantage of the Tang family.
Not only that, there were also rumors among the royal family that the emperor was planning to marry Chang Diqing to Ruan Yang to further strengthen the relationship between the emperor and the Tang family, which made everyone envious and jealous of the Tang family, but they could do nothing about it.
"What? The emperor's daughter is marrying down? Is he mentally ill? Is he the emperor or the matchmaker? He and the queen really have the same idea of being one as husband and wife, and they have the same purpose in different ways?" When Austin received the news, he was too tired to complain.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this couple. They have to confuse politics and marriage, and they always want to win over someone through a political marriage.
Madam Judith was also speechless: "After listening to what you told me to say, our wise and intelligent emperor believed that the core of the Tang family would be Tang Yang instead of Madam. But he didn't sleep for several nights before coming up with such a good idea..."
In the eyes of the top straight A-cancer emperor, no matter the power of the empire or the family, compared with AO, it will eventually be caught in the hands of ALPHA...
As a person in a higher position, the way he wants to control and win over the people he wants to use is to put an OMEGA next to him and whisper in his ear.
This idea is extremely contradictory.
"So, in your opinion, can this marriage be successful or not?" Austin tapped the table with his index finger, very curious about whether Ruan Yang could become his uncle-in-law.
Judith immediately revealed the first-hand intelligence to him: "Lieutenant General Tang Yang has not responded to the Emperor's matchmaking. But Aesop is interested... After all, his inhibitor rejection symptoms are already very serious, and he will not be able to survive this year's estrus period, so he must choose someone to marry..."
"There are only a handful of young talents of similar age to His Highness Chang Diqing in the entire Imperial Star. Lieutenant General Ruan Yang is the best among the options as soon as he wakes up. Moreover, he was a classmate of His Highness Chang Diqing, so they can be considered old acquaintances who know each other well." she said.
Austin lowered his eyes, stirred the teacup, and remained silent.
Judith asked, "Your Highness, do you need us to destroy the possibility of this marriage?"
Although Ruan Yang and Ruan Tang do have a very good relationship now and are like one brother, as time goes by, as Ruan Yang becomes an ALPHA and has his own Omega, it is hard to say whether he will be dissatisfied with Ruan Tang's leadership and become the patriarch of the Tang family.
Judith felt that perhaps they needed to take some precautions.
"No need." After careful consideration, Austin still chose to refuse: "I trust Tang Yang's character. Besides, even if Tang Yang and Aesop really become together...it is still unknown whether my good father can control his good brother."
Upon hearing this, Judith fell silent.
Ruan Xi, who had been waiting for Ruan Tang to get into trouble and fall from the position of the head of the Ruan family, or for Ruan Tang to become the head and have the Ruan family divided up, felt as if the world had fallen on her when she saw the news that Ruan Tang and Ruan Yang were each valued by the emperor and empress and were doing well in the top circles of the powerful and wealthy in the Imperial Star.
"Mo Zhi, I really don't know why my father could be so cruel? He didn't care at all about the love between my mother and him for so many years, and he left all the family property to the Ruan Tang brothers. Are they the only ones who are his children, and we are not at all?" Ruan Xi threw herself into Shen Mo Zhi's arms and cried loudly.
He really couldn't understand it. He couldn't understand it when he was reading the novel. Ruan Tang's attitude towards Ruan Ming was so bad. He kept contradicting and disobeying Ruan Ming, but Ruan Ming could still transfer his guilt to his son because of his feelings for his first wife, making Ruan Tang his most beloved child...
But it’s okay in the book. In this world today, the plot has obviously been changed by him.
The relationship between Ruan Ming and Ruan Tang had been so irreconcilable before. Ruan Ming even left a will to leave all his property to Ruan Tang and his brothers, and the position of head of the family was also given to Ruan Tang.
Ruan Xi couldn't understand all this and could only understand it as Ruan Tang's protagonist halo at work.
Shen Mozhi let him hold him with his body stiff, but he didn't want to comfort him, nor would he agree with what he said.
There aren't so many reasons for things in this world...
Since Ruan Tang was able to make Ruan Ming write such a will, read it out in front of everyone, and secure his position as the head of the Ruan family, this was his ability.
There is nothing that others can question, no matter what, because you don't have that ability.
But he knew that Ruan Xi would not listen to these words, so he did not intend to say them.
"Mozhi, what should I do? What should I do? I only have you now. Ruan Tang and his brothers have become successful. They hate my mother so much, they will definitely not let me go in the future..." Ruan Xi cried into a puddle in Shen Mozhi's arms.
He was not unaware of Shen Mozhi's recent coldness towards him, but he had no other choice. After he lost his halo, Shen Mozhi had become his only lifeline.
As long as he left Shen Mozhi, he would die, so he could only hold on to Shen Mozhi tightly.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mozhi took a deep breath and suddenly closed his eyes, as if he had made a great determination. He said with a dead heart: "There is nothing to be afraid of. Let's get married. I will marry you, and I will take good care of you for the rest of my life."
He knew that Ruan Xi had been crying non-stop and had been complaining to him here since Ruan Ming's death, just to ask for a promise from him.
He owed Ruan Xi a favor, Ruan Xi had saved his life...
In this case, a word is as good as gold. Even if it meant sacrificing his happiness for the rest of his life, he would definitely repay the favor.
At worst, he will just pay more attention to Ruan Xi in the future, Shen Mozhi thought numbly in his heart.
"Thank you, Mo Zhi." Ruan Xi hugged him tighter in ecstasy and cried with joy.
No matter whether he loves Shen Mozhi or not, and whether Shen Mozhi loves him or not, this is his only chance to survive.
Shen Mozhi felt neither sad nor happy, and had no feelings at all. He just felt that since some time ago, he seemed to be just a shell, like a walking corpse.
