Chapter 735: Chapter 738_1

She immediately turns her head, stealing a subconscious glance at the man behind the desk.

Mu Xiaojiu is still busy.

She’s not sure where he went today, but he appears to be sorting things out now.

Despite her rummaging, Uncle maintains his composure, showing no signs of annoyance.

Perhaps he’s too engrossed in his work to notice.

Nonetheless, she hurriedly places the book down, slowly moving towards the floor-to-ceiling window on the side.

This is the eighty-eighth floor.

Even before she reaches the window, Baili Xia pulls her steps back due to fear.

It’s so high…really high.

The vast expanse of the floor-to-ceiling window only amplifies her fear.

The sight below would certainly frighten anyone with acrophobia.

Even though she doesn’t suffer from acrophobia, looking down from such a height still made her feel uneasy.

Although she knows perfectly well that all materials and workmanship in Uncle’s place are of the finest quality and sturdiness,

Imagination is a scary thing

Just envisioning the glass shattering and falling from up here…

With that thought, Baili Xia can’t help but retreat another two steps, keeping her distance from the window.

However, if she wants to see the most beautiful view of Jin City, she really should be standing at the window…

The view from here is stunningly high, even taller than most commercial high-rises.

From here, you can see half the city of Jin clearly.

If it were night and she looked at the city from here, it would be incredibly beautiful.

An image of a tall, lonely figure slowly emerges in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

A vision of Uncle, holding a glass of wine as he quietly stood in front of the window, quickly comes to mind.

The moonlight cast on him, reflecting on the floor behind him, creating a long and solitary shadow.

This image is powerful enough to make any girl scream in adoration, and any woman’s heart break into pieces.

Uncle…

Suddenly, a strong presence looms close behind her.

Before Baili Xia can turn around, the man behind her is already pressing against her back.

His large palm rests on her waist, guiding her forward until they reach the window.

“It’s so high!” The scene below is frightful up close…

it’s way too high!

Baili Xia screams in trepidation, and immediately turns back around, wrapping her arms around his waist for support.

She is terrified that she might accidentally fall from this height.

“Coward.” Mu Xiaojiu’s deep voice cascades downwards, his warm breath settling on her.

Suddenly, his presence completely envelops her.

Baili Xia suddenly realizes that her reaction might have been too exaggerated.

No wonder Uncle is teasing her for being a coward.

Looking at the window, it’s clear that it’s expensive.

How could it shatter unexpectedly?

While she’s lost in thought, the man behind her suddenly presses her forward.

The unprepared Baili Xia is pressed against the glass, creating a close contact with the floor-to-ceiling window.

Baili Xia subconsciously braces her hands against the glass, not because her heart isn’t strong enough,

But really because Uncle’s actions are so unpredictable, she feels like she’s going mad!

The abyss below, the eighty-eighth floor height…

who wouldn’t be scared?

“U-Uncle, what are you going to do?” Her body is tightly pressed against the glass.

She wants to turn around to look at him, but she can’t because she’s being pressed too tightly.
