Chapter 1840: Capítulo 1840: Chapter 1843

Ye Hua was eventually persuaded by Baili Xia to leave.

Outside the door, he listened carefully for a while but didn’t hear anything inside that was unexpected.

After hesitating for quite a while, Ye Hua finally returned to Mu Xiaojiu’s room with a helpless expression.

Looking at Mr. Xiaojiu still sound asleep on the bed, Ye Hua couldn’t quite articulate his feelings.

Mr. Xiaojiu didn’t need his care; what Mr. Xiaojiu needed was Baili Xia.

But right now, Baili Xia was taking care of the drunken Mr. Mu…

He didn’t mean to say Mr. Mu was bad; in fact, for so many years, Mr. Mu rarely got drunk.

Mr. Mu getting drunk and acting a little foolish is quite normal.

But if Mr. Mu is drunk, Mr. Xiaojiu is also drunk.

Mr. Mu has Baili Xia by his side, but Mr. Xiaojiu has no one…

Ye Hua’s heart ached slightly at the sight of this lonely figure.

When will Miss Xiaxia… remember the feelings between her and Mr. Xiaojiu?

But if Miss Xiaxia remembers, then… will she still hate Mr. Xiaojiu?

How could things be this contradictory?

…

The third day of the Lunar New Year was the day everyone planned to go to the island together.

During winter, it gets bright later, and just as the east started to lighten, Baili Xia got out of bed.

After finishing her morning routine, Baili Xia immediately took her luggage to the next room to find Xiaoxiao.

She helped Xiaoxiao finish her morning routine too, and the two of them went downstairs to the side hall.

Except for Ning Anran, everyone was already there.

Baili Xia pushed Xiaoxiao to the side of the dining table and sat down next to her.

The servants promptly brought their breakfast to them.

Mu Ziying glanced at Baili Xia and then at her suitcase, suddenly saying, “Xiaxia, you’re wearing too few clothes; the sea breeze is strong.”

“Yes, the wind is very cold this season, wearing so little you’ll catch a cold,” Mu Ziqing added.

Mu Xiaojiu’s fingers twitched slightly, and his side-eye glance fell on Baili Xia.

As Baili Xia looked around, she saw some people were already wearing windbreakers, and some had them folded on top of their suitcases.

It seemed like everyone was well prepared.

Even Zimo was prepared, and of course, this was thanks to Mu Lingchuan.

If it weren’t for Mu Lingchuan’s experience, someone as careless as Zimo wouldn’t have thought of these things.

Baili Xia and Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, their faces showing a hint of embarrassment.

“Looks like we don’t have any.”

Neither of them had gone to sea in this season, so they never considered the situation at sea.

“No problem, wear mine.” A calm voice came from the side.

Baili Xia turned her head to see her brother also looking at her.

“No need, Brother, if you give me yours, what about you?”

“I don’t need it,” Mu Xiaoyao replied.

“But there’s also Xiaoxiao, she doesn’t have one either…”

She glanced at Xiaoxiao; even if she accepted her brother’s coat, Xiaoxiao still didn’t have one.

Xiaoxiao’s body wasn’t as robust as her brother’s; she definitely couldn’t withstand the strong sea wind.

“Miss Xiaxia, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Xiaoxiao,” said Ye Hua, standing to the side.

Just after saying that, he suddenly realized he might have answered a bit too casually.

Thinking about it, he added, “The matters Mr. Xiaojiu entrusted to me, I will certainly accomplish, Miss Xiaxia, please rest assured.”

Baili Xia looked at him, then glanced at Xiaoxiao, choosing not to speak.

With Ye Hua around, Xiaoxiao would surely be well cared for, and in this regard, she still trusted Ye Hua.

Xiaoxiao’s gaze fell on Ye Hua, feeling an unexplainable sense of gratitude.

This guy always bickered with her and didn’t care if she was hurt.

But when he was truly needed, he never hesitated.
