Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Jiang Yu returned to this familiar room once again.

Unlike the large single-level suites in Hollande Castle, Jiang Yu's room at his parents' house is even larger and has an extremely high ceiling, making it an indoor two-story space, much like a modern loft apartment.

The layout of the lower level is not much different from that of a regular room, except that the study has been moved to the upper attic. Instead of a table and chairs, it is covered with soft carpets and many comfortable cloud-shaped cushions. Jiang Yu used to spend most of his time here.

Because she could hardly engage in outdoor activities, Jiang Yu, as a young girl, would wake up to sunbathe on the terrace or curl up in the attic to read. She would often fall asleep again while reading, so the Jiang family had to decorate the attic like a warm bed so that Jiang Yu could comfortably drift off to sleep at any time.

Fan Qingyin stayed in a different guest room last time she came. Since they had just successfully become a couple, they couldn't stay together at the Jiang family's house right away. So, at that time, she and Lin Yi stayed in separate guest rooms.

This time, he was the only one who accompanied Jiang Yu home, so he naturally ended up staying in Jiang Yu's boudoir.

The servants had already brought the two of them's luggage into the room, where the butler and Jiang Yu's mother's maid helped to arrange it.

Since none of the three owners were home, Ado had to stay in Hollandpur. It was the first time she had been separated from Jiang Yu. Before Jiang Yu had even done anything, Ado was already worried and reluctant to part.

Jiang Yu recalled how A Duo watched them leave with teary eyes, and felt a strange urge to laugh.

"Xiao Yu's room is actually up in a tower, just like a princess in a fairy tale. I thought so when I came last time." Fan Qingyin hugged Jiang Yu from behind, looking at the room that had left a deep impression on him last time.

“I used to sleep most of the time, and my parents were afraid that the noise in front would disturb me, so they allocated this tower to me separately.”

“Look at this tower, it connects to the main body of the castle. If the top floor is sealed off, it can only be used as one of my bedrooms. It also connects to a terrace in the main building. Before, whenever I woke up, besides curling up up to read, I would usually go to the terrace to sunbathe.” Jiang Yu led Fan Qingyin to look at the flower-filled terrace outside through the glass.

"It sounds so lonely." Fan Qingyin felt his heart clench for a moment. He looked at the calm girl in his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"That's all in the past, and I'm so rich now, I have no worries about food or clothing." Jiang Yu chuckled to herself. Back then, she hadn't transmigrated yet, and the Jiang Yu in this world was like an empty shell without a complete personality. Perhaps she seemed rather pitiful to outsiders.

"Alright, I need to go see my father after I change my clothes. Qingyin, you should rest for a bit." Jiang Yu turned around in Fan Qingyin's arms so that they could hug each other face to face.

Fan Qingyin gently kissed her forehead: "Go."

Jiang Yu changed into a simple milky white dress, with blue and purple butterflies adorning the hem near the ground. The upper body also had a tight collar and narrow sleeves, with almost no decorations, except for a light purple ribbon hanging down from the collar.

"Father, you wanted to see me?" Jiang Yu knocked on the door of her father's study and went inside.

Jiang Ren was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back. Hearing this, he turned around and saw his daughter walk closer. He raised his hand to signal her and sat down with Jiang Yu.

"Xiaoyu, have you encountered any problems with the territory?"

"Everything is fine, Father." Jiang Yu was a little confused as to why her father had called her here alone to inquire about the territory.

But Jiang Ren's next sentence left Jiang Yu completely stunned.

"What's the deal with Lenny Wilman?"

Jiang Yu's pupils dilated slightly, and she looked up at her father with some disbelief.

Such a secret was known to very few even in the county, so how could his father, far away in the capital, know? The fact that he could directly mention Lanny's name meant that his knowledge was more than just simple.

"How could Father know..." Jiang Yu had no need to hide it from her father; she just didn't know how to bring it up.

From this perspective, she had always been under her father's watchful eye. She just didn't know if anyone else knew about it besides her father, such as those people in the palace who were of higher status.

"Don't worry, only I know about this. Even your mother won't know," Jiang Ren said in a deep voice, as if he understood her concerns. Jiang Yu finally felt a little relieved.

"This is indeed my responsibility, but I have done my best to prevent the situation from escalating further." Jiang Yu clenched her fingers, which tightened slightly, somewhat unnaturally.

“It’s not entirely your fault, and besides, you’ve already done a very good job,” Jiang Ren said. “It’s just that you were a little too soft-hearted.”

“Your husbands are all young. Fan Qingyin is meticulous and good at planning. He is not just as calm and collected as he appears. He does more than you see.”

"As for Lin Yi, he is not as good as his father and still needs more experience. He is very determined, but unfortunately, he lacks strategy. But since he is willing to do so much for you, you should cherish it."

This was a subtle hint to her. It must be said that Jiang Ren was quite experienced; through just this one incident, he had a pretty good grasp of the two people's character, especially Fan Qingyin.

Jiang Yu was puzzled. Could it be that Qingyin had done something she didn't know about?

“Xiao Yu, you must understand that you are not only a precious woman of the empire, but also my daughter, Jiang Ren’s daughter. You are worthy of royalty. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry who dares to have designs on you is a desecration of you. Just kill them.”

Jiang Yu knew that arguing with her father was pointless, so she nodded obediently: "I understand, Father."

“I trained a shadow servant. In fact, I sent him to your territory with you as soon as you left home. He was the one who relayed these messages to me. Don’t doubt his loyalty. From today onwards, he will serve only you.” Jiang Ren clapped his hands, and someone silently entered from outside the door.

“Raise your head and let the lord see you,” Jiang Ren said.

Jiang Yu looked over and found that the man was dressed as a servant, not tall, with an ordinary face, looking like an ordinary servant who could appear in any corner.

"He is one in a million, with excellent agility, and top-notch stealth and reconnaissance abilities. He can not only protect you, but also become your biggest trump card and sharpest weapon."

"This is the best gift I can give you as your father. Remember, never reveal his existence unless you are at your wit's end."

Jiang Yu was still somewhat hesitant. She had a large group of servants around her, as well as outstanding husbands who protected her. Her husbands also had many capable subordinates. Did she really need such a shadowy figure hiding in the dark?

She really disliked being constantly monitored, but she couldn't think of a way to refuse.
