Chapter 784: Chapter 784: He wouldn’t take her on a midnight tour above Capital City, would he?
Three minutes later, Rong Yan realized she hadn’t misheard; there really was a helicopter parked outside, in all seriousness.
The small black helicopter had a bold and sleek design, with no superfluous painting on its body, just pure black, exactly like the color someone favored.
Li Shengxiao held her hand, his voice as beautiful as a cello, low and steady, “Let’s go.”
Rong Yan, who had just woken up, almost got dazed again by him while being led away, couldn’t help but ask, “Where to? Are we flying this thing?”
In the middle of the night, he couldn’t possibly be planning to take her on a tour over the skies of Capital City, right?
“Come with me and you’ll know!” Li Shengxiao, holding her hand, sounded as if he was in a good mood.
...
Rong Yan had no choice but to keep up with his pace.
“Mr. Li, good.”
“Mr. Li, good.”
“Mr. Li, good.”

Every man in black they encountered on the way bowed their heads, respectfully greeting them.
It was as though this man descended like an emperor.
The man who had accidentally locked eyes with Rong Yan outside the car earlier had somehow made it in front of them and was waiting by the helicopter. As they approached, he immediately said, “Mr. Li, everything is ready.”
“Hmm.”
The helicopter, hovering a meter above the ground, lowered a ladder, and the stern-faced man turned back to let go of Rong Yan’s hand. “Do you want me to carry you up?”
Rong Yan knew without looking back that dozens of eyes were intently watching them, and without thinking, she shook her head and refused, “I can get up myself. Just climbing up will do, right?”
“Hmm, be careful.”
“OK.” Rong Yan made a relaxed expression and gave an OK gesture.
She had filmed for “Three Kingdoms” before, and since it was a historical drama, she hadn’t shied away from wire action scenes, so climbing a one-meter ladder was certainly within her abilities.
Rong Yan wasn’t one to show off beyond her capability; she said she could get up and she did, climbing the ladder steadily. When she turned back to boast to the man below, she ran straight into his firm chest.
“Hiss.” Her nose met his squarely, causing her to inhale sharply with a gasp.
It hurt.
The pain wasn’t particularly severe, but rather it was an aching sensation, pulling at the corners of her eyes.
Li Shengxiao, not expecting her sudden turn, instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist, his voice tinged with a trace of anger as he immediately checked her nose, “Did you get hurt?”
Rong Yan awkwardly dodged and quickly said, “I didn’t get hurt, just grazed it a bit, I’m fine.”
Li Shengxiao relaxed knowing her delicate little nose was just slightly abraded, letting go of her as his eagle-like eyes still held a hint of displeasure, “Be more careful next time; don’t turn back so suddenly.”
“…” Rong Yan felt thoroughly vexed. The point wasn’t that she had turned back suddenly; it was when he had gotten behind her.
Had he followed her closely as she climbed, worried she might not hold on to the rope securely and fall, so he stayed so close to catch her in time if necessary…
Even though she didn’t think she would fall, her heart couldn’t help but race uncontrollably at the realization.
That heart-pounding sensation, she had felt it countless times since she recognized her feelings for him.
Rong Yan was very clear about that feeling—it was liking someone.
This man’s very existence made it easy for people to fall for him, but the more she liked him, the more certain issues loomed in front of them.
Before, she had been Rong Nanfeng’s ‘daughter,’ and everyone thought she wasn’t worthy of him; now, she was just an orphan abandoned in the hospital… Suddenly, Rong Yan felt like there was a heavy stone pressing on her chest.
