Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Suddenly Jumping Off the Helicopter
Li Shengxiao keenly sensed that the mood of the little woman in his arms had suddenly dropped, and he furrowed his brows. He gave instructions to the pilot on the helicopter, “We can take off now.”
“Yes, Mr. Li,” the pilot immediately pulled the take-off lever.
The black helicopter, hovering a meter off the ground, soared into the sky like a hawk.
The door of the helicopter remained open, and the night wind howled in. It blew Rong Yan’s long hair wildly and her clothes rustled loudly.
“Li Shengxiao, are we really going to see the night view?” Rong Yan grabbed the handrail beside her to prevent herself from being blown away by the wind. She looked down at the scenery below and asked.
The weather today was not so good, with clouds covering the moon. The helicopter flew up high; looking down from above, one could only see a hazy mist and the night view of Capital City was not clear at all.
However, from this angle, the lights below were quite beautiful.
Rong Yan had only been blown by the wind for five minutes and was already cold with goosebumps. She shivered, rubbed her wind-numbed face, moved a little closer to the door, bent over to look down, and tried to see the night view more clearly.
Having come all this way, braved the wind, and endured the cold, it seemed a waste not to enjoy the view!
All her attention was on the night view below and she did not notice that someone had joined her side. Suddenly, a familiar scent enveloped her from behind. Li Shengxiao’s hoarse voice echoed from above, “Take a deep breath!”
“What’s going on?” Rong Yan reflexively turned her head, not having grasped the meaning yet.
He suddenly pried her hand off the handrail and the next second leaped down from the helicopter with her in tow.
The fierce night wind left Rong Yan’s mind blank; the moment she jumped, it was as if fireworks exploded in her head.
Instinctively, she clutched the clothes on the man’s chest, widened her eyes, and looked at him.
The wind whistled past Rong Yan’s face, and as they plummeted rapidly, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Such as whether she would die, such as what would happen to Little Baby… But in the end, the only thing fixed in her eyes was the man’s noble and peerless face.
Li Shengxiao watched the little face in his arms turn from red to white, as pale as a sheet of paper, yet her eyes were exceptionally bright. Deer-like eyes wide open, reflecting his shadow. There was surprise, shock, bewilderment…
He drew his arms tighter around her, securing the person in his embrace even more firmly amid the rapid descent, his voice commanding and steady, “Close your eyes!”
Rong Yan didn’t know why, but she closed her eyes instinctively.
Without the terrifying sight of falling, surrounded in darkness, she heard the pounding of her own heart, as if it were trying to break through her chest and leap out.
There was no way she could help it, as she was now mid-air, having just been brought along for an unguarded leap from the helicopter.
Rong Yan truly couldn’t keep calm.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here,” he probably sensed the tremble in her hand that was clutching the front of his shirt so hard.
The familiar male voice sounded in her ear.
Rong Yan took a deep breath, trying to still her racing heart, and once again opened her eyes—
They had already descended to a very low point; it was only a few short seconds, but it felt as long as a century to her.
At this speed, they would probably fall in a few seconds, she supposed.
