Chapter 1848: Capítulo 1848: Chapter 1851

Baili Xia had previously forgotten everything Ning Anran had done to her and the old man.

But at this moment, she didn’t know why, she connected their fate with that of the sea turtle.

As if because of her cruelty, the sea turtle might encounter misfortune.

When she looked back, she felt she was being unreasonable.

Ning Anran kept her head down as she spoke, looking pitiable and on the verge of tears.

But Baili Xia stubbornly didn’t want to apologize, in fact, she didn’t even want to spare her a glance.

She didn’t know when her heart turned this cold…

“Mr. Xiaojiu, I didn’t mean anything else, I just didn’t want to see your hard work go to waste.”

Ning Anran raised her head, secretly glanced at Mu Xiaojiu, and couldn’t hold back her tears, which fell immediately.

Mu Xiaojiu’s fingertips slightly moved, but he ignored Ning Anran, his gaze fixed on Baili Xia.

Ning Anran saw this and felt disappointed inside.

Why is it that even to this day, Mr. Xiaojiu is unwilling to acknowledge his care for her?

Mr. Xiaojiu must care about her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to let her accompany him on his trip.

Why does he intentionally act so cold to her in front of everyone?

Is it because of the previous relationship with Baili Yang, that now Mr. Xiaojiu deliberately keeps his distance from her in front of the younger ones?

She can actually understand if that’s the case.

As long as Mr. Xiaojiu tells her to do anything, she is willing.

Even if she has to keep her distance from him on the surface, she can bear it.

With a gaze full of resentment, she secretly glanced at Mu Xiaojiu and chose to remain quiet to avoid making things difficult for him.

Mu Xiaojiu, however, continued to focus on Baili Xia.

Baili Xia’s words had already struck him deeply in his soul.

He even wondered if her words were implying something else.

But then, how much does this girl actually remember?

He looked at Nangong Xu, who shook his head.

Mu Xiaojiu withdrew his gaze, still looking at Baili Xia.

“Xiaoyao,” suddenly, he called out.

Mu Xiaoyao was slightly startled, his calm gaze landing on Mu Xiaojiu, waiting for his instructions.

“Release it.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s next words shocked everyone. Was he really going to release the sea turtle?

A two-hundred-year-old sea turtle is not something you encounter every day.

Especially since this area is close to international waters, even if caught, people wouldn’t say much.

“Uncle, it…” Mu Ziying felt it was a pity.

But sensing Mu Xiaojiu’s suddenly cold demeanor, she dared not say more.

Ning Anran didn’t dare speak either, but still harbored resentment inside.

Why did Mu Xiaojiu want to let go of such a big catch just because of a few words from Baili Xia? If caught, he would be the first place.

However, whenever Mr. Xiaojiu decided something, she never dared to question it.

She wanted to be the woman behind Mr. Xiaojiu; no matter what he wanted to do, she would support him silently.

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t hesitate, climbing over a nearby railing, descending a ladder to a platform beneath the yacht.

He caught one of the sea turtle’s front legs, gently pulling it to his side.

In no time, he had removed the large hook from the sea turtle’s mouth.

The sea turtle, feeling the pain, struggled fiercely and quickly swam deep into the ocean.

In an instant, it disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“Uncle, thank you.” Baili Xia’s eyes grew misty as she looked at Mu Xiaojiu.

Seeing the old sea turtle swim away, she also felt a sense of relief.

Deep inside, for some reason, she subconsciously felt that Uncle wouldn’t let it go.

None of these people would let it go!

The event had never happened, yet it felt as if it had, deeply imprinted in her heart!
