Chapter 1603: Chapter 479: Out of Control (Part 2)
But when she turned her head and saw that everyone was serious, she awkwardly withdrew her hand and stayed silent.
"It’s okay if they’re not sorted properly... Sakuragi Hitomi, come with me, Lady Alvira requests your presence."
"...Why should I go with you? If it’s an invitation, shouldn’t there be some courtesy? Besides, I have more important matters to attend to right now."
"Oh? Really... more important than your mother?"
"Mother..."
Sakuragi Hitomi’s expression froze, realizing that Alvira might have informed her mother about this.
And if the previous dinner with the three mothers was merely protocol, this time, Sakuragi Hitomi broke the rule of "letting Yan Huan choose for himself," and Alvira might...
"Ugh..."
Sakuragi Hitomi’s face turned a bit pale, looking uncomfortable, frozen in place, yet she stubbornly resisted yielding.
Seeing this, Heather sighed and directly walked over to Sakuragi Hitomi, grabbing her small wrist,
"Let’s go."
"You... let go!"
Caught suddenly, Sakuragi Hitomi became a little flustered, her face turning ashen as she struggled,
"I said, right now I... have more important... matters!"
On the side, Bai Yi and An Le wanted to intervene but were blocked by several accompanying men in black.
One of them looked at An Le, took out a stack of documents, and said calmly,
"This is about your father An Bang’s company, right? Do you want to review the reports of previous non-compliance?"
"This..."
Seeing the dense and familiar words, An Le’s expression slightly changed, and her body froze coldly.
On the other side, a contract termination with Golden Lion Entertainment was laid before Bai Yi, the intention clear,
"Miss Bai Yi, I must remind you, Golden Lion Entertainment reserves the right to unilaterally terminate your contract, which you were aware of from the start, if you..."
"Screw you! How dare you threaten me?! You think I..."
But before she could finish, Bai Yi grabbed the contract without hesitation and tore it into pieces.
Not stopping there, she rushed forward, eager to kick the person in front of her.
After being suddenly kicked, the man in black in front of her had a dark expression, clenching his fist tighter, and instinctively raised it.
"Ugh..."
Seeing this, Bai Yi was startled and instinctively took a step back.
But almost in the next second, Tong Yingying shot in front of them, shielding them behind her.
But...
Just as the man in black in front raised his hand...
"Tick-tock... tick-tock..."
Inside the Ye Mansion, the second hand slowly crossed the 4:45 threshold.
The ethereal sound of a watery clock echoing all around suddenly halted, turning into a terrifying silence.
Time had already moved into the next minute, and Bai Yi knew well that for the ring finger’s abilities, this could mean two separate world lines, thus her face instantly turned pale.
Afraid that any second, Yan Huan’s actions to change the past would shatter reality.
But...
"4:45:01"
"Huh?"
The second hand slowly crossed that threshold, and the watery clock ticking instantly stopped, yet the whole world didn’t change.
Reality didn’t disintegrate, and they didn’t suddenly gain any new memories regarding Yan Huan’s mother...
It was as if, nothing happened at all?
The news that the world remained safe made everyone’s hearts relax slightly, yet inevitably they were puzzled:
Could it be, that Yan Huan went back to the past...
Not to save his parents?
"Buzz..."
However, soon after...
The atmosphere of the entire space subtly shifted.
Almost all the "former hosts" instantly sensed the change in aura from not far away, and they also smelled a faint scent of blood drifting from behind Ye Mansion.
The temperature plummeted drastically.
"Xiao Huan?"
Ye Shiyu’s expression changed first, and without a word, she turned and rushed in that direction.
"Ye Shiyu..."
Tong Yingying frowned and was about to follow, but behind her, Little Thumb’s panicked voice suddenly rang out,
"No, no, no... this feeling... run... run quickly!!!"
Run?
Run from what...
Tong Yingying was slightly taken aback, and turning back, she finally noticed that Little Thumb, which had been hanging on An Le’s shoulder, was now out, hissing like a frightened snake, constantly warning.
But soon, without Little Thumb’s reminder, Tong Yingying could clearly feel something was wrong...
Simply because the entire sky suddenly turned dark and ominous.
The once bright sun was almost instantly consumed by countless phantom centipedes, melting the line between dusk and night to be indistinguishable.
The piercing cold wind roared in, carrying a sense of anger or perhaps sadness.
The change in the sky seemed to try to distort reality, wielding an immense sense of oppression.
Like back in Ying Country, when Little Thumb lost control, tentacles covered the sky, just seeing them filled one with despair...
But this time, it wasn’t just a single modifier losing control, nor was there that determined young man facing the color-changing sky.
In his place was another determined girl.
It was Ye Shiyu.
"Xiao Huan, you... you’re okay..."
She quickly crossed several villas and saw Yan Huan, who had returned from the past to reality, but upon seeing him, Ye Shiyu’s eyes involuntarily narrowed.
She saw Yan Huan at that moment, his head lowered, covered in blood, half-kneeling in the sand in front of the swing.
Upon seeing his battered condition, Ye Shiyu’s heart almost stopped.
It was only then she seemed to realize:
Bai Yi was right!
And not only was his body severely injured, but mentally too...
What exactly happened when Xiao Huan returned to the past?!
