Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Jiang Yu smiled innocently, watching Ren Kecheng freeze in place after she finished speaking, then tilted her head and repeated, "How could you have such a thought?"

Ren Kecheng's husband's face darkened immediately after she said those words. He had always known that his wife did not like his appearance, but only chose him because of his royal status.

He didn't care at all. After all, given his status, he didn't need to work hard to become his wife's favorite. No one could surpass him, and he was bound to have his own offspring.

He never doubted that he would be rejected, after all, he was the highest choice the Ren family could make.

To say he loved Ren Kecheng was impossible. Although she came from a high social class, she was arrogant, simple-minded, and narrow-minded. Their relationship was simply a matter of mutual benefit.

He was a nobody in the royal family, a pawn used to win over powerful ministers. The Ren family needed him to form an alliance with the royal family, and he also needed to rely on the Ren family to maintain his comfortable life.

But this doesn't mean Ren Kecheng can express his dislike for him in public. Although he can tell that this lord named Jiang Yu set a trap, if she weren't so foolish, how could she be led by the nose?

He suppressed the urge to turn and leave, and said sarcastically, "After all, not everyone is like Lord Jiang Yu, who doesn't care at all about the precious face of the Kong family's young master."

Jiang Yu looked at the royal family member with some surprise.

She had assumed that husbands would unconditionally support their wives, but now it seemed that wasn't the case. At least, the couple in front of her had many problems in their relationship, and the husband had a lot of complaints about his wife.

However, the young master of the Kong family? She thought she understood why Lord Ren Kecheng was targeting her like this. But on the surface...

"Qingyin, who is the young master of the Kong family?" Fan Qingyin heard Jiang Yu beside her ask, word by word, in a low voice, just loud enough for everyone in the circle to hear clearly.

Killer.

Fan Qingyin silently gave his wife a thumbs up in his heart. He turned his head to look at her, and seeing her innocent and confused look, he seemed to see little devil wings sprouting from behind her.

But the act had to be played out, so he looked at her in surprise and said, "Xiaoyu, don't you remember? She's the one with the first number in your partner selection contest!"

"That one from the family of commanders of the Forest Empire, Kong Yiche."

Upon hearing Fan Qingyin's reply, Jiang Yu suddenly realized, "Ah, so it was him! I'm so sorry, I didn't talk to him much and I don't really remember him. After all, it's been so long, but I do remember his name."

Jiang Yu patted his forehead, then turned to Ren Kecheng and asked curiously, "So, Lord Ren likes the Kong family's young master type? Or perhaps, you just like the Kong family's young master?"

From the moment Jiang Yu asked who the young master of the Kong family was, Ren Kecheng was already trembling with anger. She must have done it on purpose, but she couldn't find any words to refute her.

She could only say in exasperation, "What's it to you? You and he didn't end up together. I don't believe he'll choose you again at this year's partner selection event. We'll see!" With that, she turned and left.

But Jiang Yu called out to him, "Wait!"

Ren Kecheng turned around angrily: "What else is there?!"

Jiang Yu looked her up and down and said, “Your clothes are incredibly luxurious, but you can only appreciate their beauty up close. Sometimes the audience doesn’t have that much patience; they only focus on the beauty of the moment they see it.”

Seeing the thoughtful look in her eyes, Jiang Yu knew that she had taken it to heart.

Only after that group of people came and went in a grand manner did Jiang Yu and the others return to their seats.

"Xiaoyu, they've practically come knocking on our door, why did you remind her at the last minute? You're being too kind!" Lu Shuang was furious because she hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise.

Jiang Yu and Fan Qingyin exchanged a glance. She wasn't that kind or magnanimous. Since the other party had dared to bully her, she had no reason not to retaliate and silently endure it.

In the end, they left her a small gift. If she's foolish but of decent character, someone will surely remind her to avoid making a fool of herself. But if she's also of bad character, then probably no one would want to risk such a small prank.

Then see you at the royal banquet.

"Qingyin, what's going on with Kong Yiche?" Jiang Yu asked, turning her head as she drank her juice. Qingyin was all-knowing; he must know everything.

She had already rejected Kong Yiche and they hadn't successfully become a couple. They had no relationship for a long time, so how could someone use this as an excuse to attack her because of him?

"The Kong family is a family of commanders in the Forest Empire, producing high-ranking officials. The Ren family is also a key minister in the power center of the Ocean Empire, and Lord Ren Kecheng's father even became the Left Prime Minister. The two families have always had contact."

“Kong Yiche and Ren Kecheng must have known each other since they were young.” Fan Qingyin took a small blanket from the side and covered Jiang Yu’s lap, then handed two more to Lan Yu.

"Hmm, so they're childhood sweethearts? Does that mean they resent me for stealing their love?" Jiang Yu was both amused and exasperated. What kind of thought process is that? She didn't hold a knife to Mr. Kong Yiche's neck and force him to abandon his childhood sweetheart for her. She didn't even know him!

"Xiaoyu, don't let irrelevant people and things affect your mood." Fan Qingyin took Jiang Yu's hands and placed them in her own.

“I think she’s panicking. After all, Xiaoyu, you only have two husbands. She’s afraid that the young master of the Kong family will choose you again, so she can’t sit still.” Lu Shuang’s eyes darted around, and she felt that her idea made a lot of sense.

Fan Qingyin frowned. He didn't want Xiaoyu to pay too much attention to these people, especially since the information he had received indicated that the young commander of the Kong family had not given up on Xiaoyu.

He then glanced at Lan Yu indifferently, his eyes containing a faint warning.

Lan Yu felt as if he had been splashed with cold water when he was being looked at by those eyes, and he instantly understood what the divine messenger meant.

So he tried to change the subject: "Lord Jiang Yu, have you finished preparing your report materials? I heard that the Empire is scrutinizing these documents and data very strictly this year."

But Lu Shuang pushed him so hard that he almost fell to the ground, wheelchair and all. "What's the rush for your report? There's still a day to go. With the divine messenger here, what are you worrying about?"

Lu Shuang then asked Jiang Yu, "Xiao Yu, are you going to participate in the partner selection event again this year? Maybe Young Master Kong will choose you again. Have you thought about what kind of partner you want to choose this year?"

Lan Yu steadied his wheelchair in alarm and looked apologetically at Fan Qingyin. He had really tried his best, but his wife was just like that—she had no wits at all, and absolutely no sense of propriety.

Fan Qingyin was also helpless. She stared at Lu Shuang's incessant chatter and fell into deep thought. Why was this person like this?
