Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

The voice rang out beside her, and Jiang Yu turned her head to look, only to find a tall and slender figure standing not far away.

He wore an olive green velvet tuxedo, adorned only with a few scattered gold square gemstones, devoid of any other embellishments or prints. The cut was simple, the color striking.

The garments, worn by a man already as handsome as a god in an oil painting, were the icing on the cake, fitting him perfectly.

The man's platinum blonde curly hair was much longer than when they first met, with layers in the front combed into a side part, and neat waves draped diagonally across his forehead. The medium-length hair at the back of his head was tied up with a matching olive green velvet headband, giving him an air of noble elegance.

Unlike Fan Qingyin's aloofness and Lin Yi's fiery passion, she was also quite different from the exceptionally beautiful Zhong Qin.

If Zhong Qin's beauty carries a touch of feigned weakness, alluring and endearing, then the young commander before us is the mastermind at the center of the game, a figure of immense power, like a god descended from heaven.

Kong Yiche didn't appear silently; everyone's attention was drawn to the dazzling Ren Kecheng, so they didn't notice him. He also walked step by step from the shadows to Jiang Yu's side.

"Long time no see, Lord Jiang Yu."

Kong Yiche stood there, not noticing Fan Qingyin's instantly darkening expression, not noticing Chen Xin and Xiang Lan's gossipy expressions as if they were watching a good show, and not even noticing the sudden brightening and somewhat gritted-teeth expression on Lord Ren Kecheng's face, who was the center of attention.

He simply stared intently at the figure that haunted his dreams and remained unforgettable.

He missed his chance; the girl he'd missed for almost a year had become someone else's wife and was now standing beside another man.

He spent another year reflecting and growing, and then stood before his beloved once more. As long as she was willing to give him a chance, nothing else would stand in his way.

"Commander Kong, hello." Jiang Yu blinked and greeted him politely.

Fan Qingyin didn't speak, but stood to the side with a dark face, her whole being radiating a chilling aura.

"Oh my gosh~ Oh my gosh~" Chen Xin couldn't help but cheer a couple of times before Xiang Lan covered her mouth and dragged her aside: "Look, Xin Xin, there are some of your favorite snacks over there~"

"It's been a long time, you look even more radiant." Kong Yiche restrained himself for a while, but still took two small steps forward. "Do you remember me?"

Jiang Yu felt a little embarrassed, but still replied politely, "Of course, your charm is just as it was when we first met."

Kong Yiche only then seemed to notice Fan Qingyin, who was as cold as ice beside him, and greeted her with a smile: "This must be the renowned genius of the Fan family, the divine envoy Fan Qingyin. It is truly better to see her in person than to hear about her. I have long admired you."

Fan Qingyin then looked at the man in front of her who made her feel a great sense of crisis. Her silver eyes were clear and unreadable, and she said politely, "You are the one whose reputation is far-reaching. Who in the three great empires does not know your name? It is my good fortune to meet you today."

Jiang Yu, her face almost stiff from laughing, couldn't help but think to herself, "These two are really something. One's a commander, the other a divine messenger, and they're both incredibly smooth-talking. Having one of these types in your family is a blessing, but having two is like gods fighting." She didn't even need anyone to tell her; she knew she couldn't afford it, she couldn't afford to be hurt.

"A-Che!" Unable to hold back any longer, Ren Kecheng, dressed in golden robes, pushed through the crowd like a golden phoenix and walked over. Although she had put on a smile, one could still see the resentment in her expression.

"How come you're attending the banquet too? Mrs. Tini is really something, she didn't even tell me." Ren Kecheng quickly walked up and unabashedly reached out to hug Kong Yiche's arm.

Jiang Yu was overjoyed. Yes, yes, that's how it should be. Ren Kecheng, you'd better hurry up and take your Kong Yiche away. With such a big shot standing here, everyone feels uncomfortable. If this rotten peach blossom continues to make its presence felt, she's afraid she won't be able to appease her Qingyin.

She spotted Ren Kecheng's royal husband in the crowd not far away. He noticed her staring and raised his champagne glass, nodding to her from a distance. Clearly, he had no intention of getting involved.

Kong Yiche's face showed a hint of impatience and embarrassment. He almost immediately pulled his arm out of Ren Kecheng's arms, and it was unclear who he was explaining to: "I originally did not plan to participate, but there are some things that I must say to Lord Jiang Yu in person. Please forgive my offense."

"What? You did this for her?" Before Jiang Yu could speak, Ren Kecheng screamed.

"Didn't you see my father a few days ago? He clearly said..." Not knowing how to say it, Ren Kecheng turned her head and pointed at Jiang Yu, saying, "Don't you know that she didn't even participate in the partner selection conference this year?"

"Lord Ren Kecheng, please have some self-respect and refrain from saying things that could cause misunderstandings." Kong Yiche, usually so composed, couldn't help but furrow his brows. He had never felt any goodwill towards this arrogant lord before him, nor had he ever made any promises to her. Her actions and words in front of Jiang Yu were truly annoying.

"Causing misunderstandings? What's there to misunderstand!" Ren Kecheng was furious. She had always been spoiled and was quite reckless at this moment, completely unaware that the gazes around her were gradually becoming strange, and that there were more and more people watching the drama unfold.

“We’ve known each other since we were young. We’re of similar status and character. Just look at how many people in this royal city have long assumed that you and I would become a couple. What’s there to misunderstand now?” Ren Kecheng said loudly. “As for her, although she has a high status, she’s far inferior to me. Before she came of age, she was a sickly woman who never left her home and didn’t even have basic social skills. She’s just a pretty face. Is that enough to attract you all to flock to her?”

"Especially you." Even though it was her sweetheart, she still pointed her finger at him and yelled in a fit of anger, "He's already rejected you once, why are you still going after him!"

Jiang Yu was truly impressed by Lord Ren Kecheng. When he got angry, it was an indiscriminate attack, with overwhelming firepower.

Fan Qingyin then said in a deep voice, "I urge Lord Ren to be careful with his words!"

Even Chen Xin, who was not far away, said angrily, "What a shameless woman! What nonsense is she spouting!" She then rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush over. Xiang Lan quickly stopped her, advising, "Let's not get involved in that kind of chaotic situation. Lord Jiang Yu won't suffer any losses. Let's observe for a while longer!"

Not far away, Ren Kecheng's husband sneered, too lazy to care about the stares that were watching him like he was having a good show. Feeling extremely ashamed, he put down the crystal glass in his hand, turned around and walked out of the crowd to find a quiet place to stay.
