Traveling through time and space to become the richest woman and falling in love with the young mast

Chapter 172 Everything is possible

Huangfu Yi on the side was staring quietly out the window, his eyes deep and focused.

The moonlight shines through the window onto his handsome profile, outlining a line of alternating light and dark.

At this moment, his mind was like a high-speed machine, rapidly recalling everything that had happened before and thinking about various possible response strategies.

After a moment of silence, Huangfu Yi suddenly broke the silence and said softly: "Maybe... he is really not dead."

This sentence is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Huangfu Yu was so shocked when she heard this that she couldn't close her mouth. She cried out, "He's not dead?! Then... then where would he be now?"

Her eyes darted eagerly between her brother and nephew.

Huangfu Yi shook his head helplessly, indicating that he had no idea either.

For a moment, the room fell into suffocating silence again.

In the end, it was Huangfu Ji who broke the deadlock. He sighed deeply and said slowly, "At this point, we can only respond to each situation as it arises and take it one step at a time. After all, the situation is still unclear, and anything is possible."

"Aunt, I'm leaving first." Huangfu Yi said as he slowly stood up.

He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, and his movements were graceful and smooth.

Beneath that handsome face, there was a subtle hint of fatigue and alienation.

Huangfu Yu saw this and quickly tried to persuade him to stay, "Yi'er, won't you eat a little more? These are all specially prepared for you."

Her eyes were full of concern.

Huangfu Yi seemed not to hear her words and walked straight towards the door without any pause.

All that was left for Huangfu Yu was a tall figure walking away.

Looking at the direction Huangfu Yi left, Huangfu Yu shook her head helplessly, sighed softly, and said to herself: "Brother, are you going to be so estranged from Yi'er for the rest of your life?"

Huangfu Ji frowned slightly when he heard this and said in a deep voice, "Who can I blame for this? You've seen it too. He has always been resentful of me."

After saying this, a complex look flashed in his eyes, showing helplessness, pain, and deep self-blame.

Huangfu Yu didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, she only let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "Forget it, forget it. You guys, just figure it out on your own!"

After saying that, she shook her head gently.

Huangfu Ji was silent for a long time and never spoke.

His heart was like a turmoil at this moment, filled with endless bitterness.

He knew very well that his son's grudge against him was deeply rooted and it would be difficult to resolve, but he really couldn't figure out how to mend this deep rift.

Huangfu Yu couldn't bear to stay here any longer and see her brother so distressed, so she said softly, "Brother, then... I'll take my leave now."

Having said that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, Huangfu Ji suddenly called out to her: "Wait."

Huangfu Yu stopped, turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, brother?"

Huangfu Ji frowned slightly and asked with concern, "How is the relationship between you and Dongfang Ti going now?"

As an older brother, how could he not know what happened between Huangfu Yu and Dongfang Ti?

Hearing this, Huangfu Yu's eyes unconsciously dodged, and she replied hesitantly: "You...you are not unaware of the situation between us!"

Huangfu Ji frowned even more upon seeing this, and said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Look, your unreliable fiancé hasn't even sent a single letter back in all these years. If you keep waiting like this, you'll end up an unwanted old maid sooner or later!"

Huangfu Yu heard this and forced a bitter smile on her face, muttering to herself in a low voice: "Maybe one day, he will suddenly appear in front of me..."

After hearing this, Huangfu Ji sighed heavily and said, "What kind of things are these?"

-

Huangfu Yi walked slowly and steadily back to the quiet courtyard that belonged to him.

After entering the courtyard, he raised his head slightly and looked around at the familiar scenery, then called softly, "Ying."

Before the voice fell, a dark figure flashed out, knelt on one knee and responded respectfully: "Young Master!"

Huangfu Yi's face was as gloomy as water: "Go, bring Mu Yinchen to me."

"Yes, young master." Ying received the order and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Huangfu Yi turned and walked to the exquisitely carved desk in the study and slowly sat down.

His slender fingers gently fell on the smooth table, tapping rhythmically, as if the slight sound could soothe some unspeakable emotion in his heart.

Time passed quietly, and soon a noise came from far away.

All I could hear was an exasperated voice yelling, "Hey, hey, hey, could you please stop pulling my collar like that? It's so humiliating!"

As the complaining voice became clearer and clearer, Ying had already brought Mu Yinchen to Huangfu Yi like a chicken.

After Ying released Mu Yinchen, Mu Yinchen straightened his wrinkled collar while muttering, "You're too rude! After all, I'm a man of status..."

When he looked up and saw Huangfu Yi sitting behind the desk, he swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach, and an awkward and flattering smile appeared on his face.

Ying bowed to Huangfu Yi, then retreated quietly, and the entire yard returned to peace again.

"Why not an isolated island in the sea?"

Mu Yinchen straightened his slightly wrinkled clothes with an expressionless face.

After everything was tidied, he slowly raised his eyes, and his gaze met Huangfu Yi in front of him.

Huangfu stood in front of the desk, his eyes as deep and distant as the water in a deep pool, firmly fixed on Mu Yinchen.

Mu Yinchen's body stiffened slightly, but soon returned to normal.

He straightened his slender neck, a hint of stubbornness on his face, and responded without hesitation: "I don't want to go back."

The tone was firm and resolute, leaving no room for maneuver.

When Huangfu Yi heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he already knew the answer.

He did not show much surprise or anger, but just stared quietly at the stubborn man in front of him.

After a while, Huangfu Yi took a step forward and walked towards Mu Yinchen with steady steps.

Every step carried an invisible sense of oppression that Mu Yinchen could not ignore.

He stopped when he came to Mu Yinchen's side.

Huangfu Yi looked down at the person below him from a high position.
