Jiang Xiao visits her father, Jiang Shiheng, who appears unwell. She questions him about recent nightmares, which he confirms are frequent and draining. Jiang Shiheng reveals his nightmares depict his daughter, Little, falling to her death. Jiang Xiao then shows him a painting that matches the exact scene from his dreams, astonishing him.

Meng Xinian also remembered that the reason Sixth Young Master Jiang was murdered twenty years ago was because his dreams could foresee the future.

Now that this point was confirmed, he instantly felt a chill down his spine.

He couldn’t help but reach out and grab Jiang Xiao’s arm, momentarily forgetting to control his strength, gripping her tightly.

If this is the future, the future that Sixth Young Master foresaw...

His heart started pounding wildly, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

No, no, it’s impossible.

It can’t be.

How could Jiang Xiao have such a fate?

Wasn’t she supposed to marry him, have a few children with him, and then grow old together, loving each other for a lifetime?

He had always thought about spoiling her into old age.

If she ends up like that, then what about him?

He wouldn’t survive.

"Dad, this isn’t Little, right?" He stared intently at Sixth Young Master Jiang.

The woman in the painting clearly had an indistinct face, so why did he immediately feel it was Little?

It must be his illusion, it must be.

This woman is someone else, someone he doesn’t know, right?

But why did Sixth Young Master Jiang have that kind of look?

Jiang Shiheng’s gaze moved from Jiang Xiao’s face to Meng Xinian’s face, and now, looking at Meng Xinian, all he could see in his mind was the officer who swept upstairs past him in a gust of wind.

At that time, Meng Xinian hadn’t saved Jiang Xiao.

He actually wanted to comfort them, to tell them that the woman wasn’t Jiang Xiao, but as his lips moved, he still told the truth.

"In my dream, this woman is Little."

He said with some difficulty, and then looked at Meng Xinian, "Moreover, in my dream, you appeared too. You were going to save Little, but you couldn’t."

"Impossible!" Meng Xinian said in a deep voice, "If I were really there, I wouldn’t fail to save Little. Besides, Little is skilled herself; even ten men together wouldn’t be her match. How could she fall off a building?"

He originally wanted to say that even if it truly came to a point where he couldn’t protect her, Jiang Xiao could hide in the Space, so how could she end up falling to her death?

Even in mid-air, she could enter the Space!

Once in the Space, she could take her time finding a way out.

She has all sorts of tools and methods in the Space.

There’s no way she would meet such an end.

"I think so too, so maybe this dream is meaningless, perhaps I’m just overly worried about Little and my nerves are a little tense, it won’t happen."

Jiang Shiheng rubbed his temples; the vision of Jiang Xiao falling to her death in front of him was too shocking. Every time he dreamed of it, his heart ached, and he felt worse than the day before upon waking up.

But for some reason, this dream kept recurring recently.

Even though Jiang Shiheng said this, the cloud of darkness in Meng Xinian’s heart did not dissipate.

His dreams had prophetic capabilities; if it was a meaningless dream, would it keep recurring?

"There’s something very strange." Meng Xinian looked at Jiang Xiao, only to find that he had been holding her tight, leaving red marks on her arm. He promptly let go. "I’m sorry, Little."

"It’s okay, Brother Xinian, what’s strange?"

Jiang Xiao knew he was really worried and scared just now.

To be honest, her current emotions were very complicated.

Seeing the two most important men in her life burdened and pained by her potential fall to death, she really wanted to tell them that it was something from her past life and it wouldn’t happen in this life, that there was nothing to worry about, but she just couldn’t find the words to say it.
