Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Chapter 315 Neutralizing Toxicity

When Jiang Yu pushed open the door, she saw Kong Yiche standing tall and elegantly by the crib, looking at her with his hands behind his back and his head down, keeping a safe distance from the crib.

Hearing the door open, he turned around and looked over, his eyes instantly filled with tenderness.

Kong Yiche's platinum blonde hair seemed to have grown a bit longer, but it was still neatly combed into a low ponytail at the back of his head and tied with an exquisite knot. The strands of hair on his forehead formed a beautiful wave, making him look incredibly handsome.

Seeing that he was visibly relieved, Jiang Yu smiled and approached him.

"You haven't been here in a long time. How have you been?"

Unlike Keslan, who had many subordinates, the Dark Organization was not as disciplined as Kong Yiche's regular army. Even if she didn't appear for a long time, someone would always keep her informed of his situation.

Kong Yiche has been really quiet lately; he hasn't shown up or even written a letter.

"I'm always afraid of bothering you, I just want to know that everything is going well for you." Kong Yiche couldn't help but take a few steps forward to greet him.

But he only restrained himself from taking her hand.

"Although I know how you are doing, I still couldn't help but come over and want to hear you say in person that you are doing well."

Jiang Yu looked at him gently and took his hand and rubbed it against her cheek.

“There’s no need to be so cautious.” Jiang Yu pulled him to Jingyue’s bedside. “Everything has been fine for me lately, everything has gone smoothly.”

“We named her Jingyue,” she said, looking at Kong Yiche, “Do you want to hug her?”

Jiang Yu cared a lot about this. All five of them would be Jingyue's fathers, but Kong Yiche and Kaisilan hadn't even held her yet.

I wonder how Jingyue feels about the two of them, and whether she likes them.

"Uh, of course." Kong Yiche was a little nervous. "I'm just afraid I'm not very good at hugging, and... I'm also worried that you might have some taboos."

In many families, men who have never fathered children are not allowed to have contact with their wives' offspring.

"I just told you not to be so cautious, you don't have to be like this with me." Jiang Yu looked at him reproachfully, "Now you're treating us like outsiders."

"It won't happen again." Kong Yiche's smile brightened considerably, and he tightened his grip on Jiang Yu's hand, interlocking their fingers.

"I'll hold Jingyue when she wakes up."

Little Jingyue slept soundly in bed. After a period of feeding and care, she had visibly gained weight. Her chubby little face squeezed her features in the middle, making her extremely cute.

Jiang Yu always affectionately called her "pretty little piggy."

Fan Qingyin had even criticized him for calling girls that, but Jiang Yu wouldn't listen and continued to do as he pleased.

"You've come all this way, don't rush to leave. Enjoy yourselves for a couple of days. I'll have them prepare your favorite dishes right now."

Kong Yiche pulled Jiang Yu back: "Eating is no problem, but there's no need for you to stay overnight."

“Although our relationship is practically public now, we’re not officially a couple yet, which is bad for your reputation.” Kong Yiche’s cheeks still flushed when he mentioned that their relationship was now official.

Jiang Yu stared blankly, almost losing himself in the beauty and forgetting what day it was.

I used to think that Kong Yiche and Fan Qingyin were somewhat similar in appearance, but now it seems that there is quite a big difference between them.

Qingyin isn't easily embarrassed. She's a genuine, truly aloof beauty.

“If I cared about those things, Moa wouldn’t have stayed by my side all this time, and we weren’t officially a couple.”

“I’m not like him.” Kong Yiche took her hand and placed it on his heart. “Moya’s identity is special, and you are safest when he is by your side. Only then can we truly feel at ease.”

"But I am just an ordinary person, so naturally I must do everything to respect your dignity. This is what I insist on."

Jiang Yu had heard of the Kong family of the Forest Empire, a family of wealth and power, with strict rules and regulations. Kong Yiche was also a direct descendant, so it was not surprising that he had such manners.

“Even if I speed things up, it will still take us a long time to become partners,” Jiang Yu said somewhat sheepishly.

She needs to get together with Moya first before she can put Kong Yiche and Keslan on the agenda.

“I’m not in a hurry, I can wait.” Kong Yiche smiled slightly. “It’s enough that I can come and see you like this every now and then.”

Jiang Yu didn't know what to say, so she could only pull him to the terrace of her room for a walk and rest. He had come all this way, so he probably wanted to be alone with her.

Kong Yiche took a sip of the warm herbal tea. "This is..."

“You can tell, can’t you? This is your favorite floral drink. Mr. Peter’s businessman friend told me about it,” Jiang Yu said proudly.

As the de facto commander of the core of the Forest Empire, Kong Yiche keeps much of his personal information confidential, and Jiang Yu is unwilling to use the means of probing secrets on her future lover.

Fortunately, someone was worried that his commander might not please the lord, so he tried every day to get the message to her.

Kong Yiche was in a great mood, his eyes squinting like a noble Persian cat. He asked curiously, "This is indeed the flower drink I usually drink, but the taste is a little different. Are there any other ingredients added?"

There's a lot to talk about here.

Jiang Yu's greatest hobby is figuring out food recipes. Here, she has the right and the means to enjoy all the top-notch resources, and she spends her free time researching how to make delicious food even more amazing.

"The flower you are drinking has an extremely low yield and extremely high ornamental value. Only a few people know that it has extremely high medicinal value. When used to make tea, it can nourish the body and even neutralize toxins."

Upon hearing about neutralizing the toxicity, Kong Yiche's eyes narrowed, and he pursed his lips, ultimately saying nothing.

Jiang Yu didn't notice and continued, "Actually, I also have some doubts. Although this flower is good for the body, its most important function is detoxification. A-Che, do you need to drink it for a long time?"

There's no way to avoid it now.

Kong Yiche closed his eyes slightly.

I knew I couldn't hide it from her, but I didn't expect her to find out so soon.

“When I was a child, I was poisoned for some…political reasons, but I’m fine now.” A hint of joy appeared in his eyes: “I like it when you call me A-Che.”

Jiang Yu's eyes widened. With the Kong family being so prominent, could anyone possibly poison the direct descendants of the Kong family?

She had always thought that a prodigy like Kong Yiche should have a smooth and successful life, but now it seems that this is not always the case.

She opened her mouth, then hesitated before saying, "I didn't know there was such a story. I even took it upon myself to add some other herbs and tonics because I heard that the medicinal properties of this flower are quite strong, and I wanted to help neutralize them for you."

Kong Yiche put down his cup, stood up, and finally hugged him.

"I'm so happy." He couldn't help but bury his head and rub against her, breathing in the fragrance that haunted his dreams. "Xiao Yu, I'm so happy that you care about me like this."

"I know this might be a bit presumptuous, Xiaoyu, have you started to like me even a little bit?"
