Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Now that things had come to this, Jiang Yu couldn't bring herself to refuse. She glanced at Fan Qingyin, gently comforting him with her eyes. After receiving a helpless yet understanding response from him, she reached out her hand and glided onto the dance floor with Kong Yiche.

“Commander Kong, don’t you know? I haven’t submitted any materials to the Empire this year, and I don’t plan to participate in the Partner Selection Conference.” Jiang Yu spoke first before Kong Yiche could speak.

Both were exceptionally beautiful. The woman's dark purple skirt, like a rose in the night, swirled and scattered like stars throughout the night, while the man's dazzling olive green velvet suit seemed like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, shimmering with an intoxicating light.

The two danced gracefully on the dance floor, gazing at each other and whispering to each other as they danced, as if they were immersed in their own little world. This delightful scene drew the attention of countless onlookers.

Chen Xin glanced at Fan Qingyin, who was also staring in that direction, and found that the other party had returned to a calm and composed demeanor. However, the even more chilling low pressure around them made everyone subconsciously move away, clearing out a small area.

"Tsk, I didn't realize this divine envoy was such a jealous person," Chen Xin whispered to Xiang Lan.

This time, Xiang Lan did not refute her. She also looked at the two figures on the dance floor who looked good together and were well-matched. She said with a somewhat ambiguous expression, "What man would really not care if someone else was standing next to his wife?"

Chen Xin paused, turned her head, and stared at Xiang Lan's neat and handsome profile for a long time, somewhat lost in thought.

"I know." Kong Yiche looked at the woman in his arms who had never belonged to him but whom he had longed for for so long, and almost drowned in her fragrance.

He struggled to regain his composure, suppressing the urge to kneel down and confess his feelings, afraid of wasting this hard-won opportunity and scaring Jiang Yu away.

“Ever since you rejected me last time, I’ve felt I should find another opportunity to explain to you whether you’ve misunderstood me. I have no experience, so perhaps I said something wrong that made you have a bad impression of me.” The man’s handsome, long eyebrows drooped somewhat dejectedly.

His eyelashes also drooped sadly, obscuring most of his long, angular, handsome eyes, making him look pitiful and causing Jiang Yu's heart to tighten involuntarily.

Indeed, it is a feast for the eyes.

"That's not the case. I have never had a bad impression of you because of your personal qualities. On the contrary, it is because you are too outstanding and your high family background makes me want to back down."

Jiang Yu explained. "What a sin," she thought silently to herself.

"Please don't misunderstand me because of what Lord Ren said just now, okay?" Kong Yiche tightened his grip on Jiang Yu's hand slightly and said anxiously, "I have never made any promises to her or her family. I have always been free and steadfast in my feelings for you."

“I didn’t misunderstand anything, but you don’t have to be like this.” Jiang Yu gave a dry laugh. “Lord Ren Kecheng is clearly deeply in love with you, and you two are indeed a good match.”

“I don’t care about those things. At first, I was indeed attracted by your beauty. Later, I felt very unwilling because you didn’t choose me. That was my initial obsession,” Kong Yiche said honestly.

“I didn’t want you to know, for fear you would think I was too dishonest, but I later visited your territory, saw you from afar, and learned what the people thought of you.”

"You are far more radiant and dazzling than I imagined. My heart is full of you, do you know that? This has become my motivation to strive for better things after I went back."

“My family knows my intentions and knows that all my efforts are to get to your side.” As he said this, Kong Yiche stared intently into Jiang Yu’s eyes, his gaze filled with Jiang Yu’s image.

“They haven’t made any promises or agreements with anyone else, so please don’t have any concerns, okay?” His voice was gentle, as if afraid that any slightly sharp words might frighten the woman in front of him.

But Jiang Yu wasn't worried about these issues; what she was struggling with was how to reject him.

"You should know that I don't care about these issues. I just hope you won't focus your attention on me anymore. I don't have any plans to find another partner for the time being." Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it directly. Rejection would definitely mean hurt, but it was much more straightforward than making excuses or covering up the hurt.

“I know you’re not planning to participate this year. But what about next year, or the year after? You’ll always participate,” Kong Yiche said.

“I was heartbroken and desperate when I heard that you hadn’t submitted your application this year. But I didn’t give up. I used every connection I could find to make sure I could see you.”

Jiang Yu sighed and looked directly into Kong Yiche's eyes: "We are not destined to be husband and wife. No matter when I attend the partner selection conference in the future, it may be because of someone else, but it is not worth your trouble."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, she stopped dancing on her toes and tried to pull her hand back, but Kong Yiche grabbed her arm.

The man's eyes were filled with panic, pain, and utter disbelief. From childhood, he had been a prodigy, ranking among the best in the three great empires in terms of family background, talent, appearance, and ability.

How could she be so interested in Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi, yet not at all interested in him?

"I can't arouse your interest at all. What is the reason for my lack of interest?" Kong Yiche asked, somewhat dejectedly.

"That's not it..." Jiang Yu smiled bitterly to herself. Could she really say that it was because he was so perfect, like a mannequin, that she couldn't feel any romantic feelings for him at all?

"Can't you just give me a chance?" A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Kong Yiche's eyes. She said that one day, maybe because of someone...

"Maybe you can give me more time, let's spend more time together. We haven't seen each other enough, so it might be hard for you to develop feelings for me," Kong Yiche said hurriedly. "I can wait, until we develop feelings for each other..."

"To be honest," Jiang Yu said, somewhat forcefully withdrawing her hand. "I am determined to bear children for Qingyin and Yi. Your status is too high; I'm afraid it will threaten them."

"Since we missed our first meeting, whether it was because we weren't meant to be or because of my concerns, what's done is done."

"Now I love my two husbands deeply, and in order to avoid threatening their vested interests and to avoid hurting my relationship with them, I will not consider you."
