nAfter Louis received Langdon’s report, he put down the communicator and turned on the monitor.

nHe was the one who asked Langdon to send the signal, and he was also the one ordered to withdraw it. He subconsciously didn’t want Xi Ning to return to the Federation.

nWhy should he give such a treasure to that stupid goose of the Federation. So what if it was worth fifty million? Even if he was a pirate, he didn’t want to sell everything, let alone such a little mermaid.

nLouis watched Xi Ning eating in small bites on the screen. The more he watched, the more he liked it. He couldn’t help but want to get up and left the room to go and see him.

nXi Ning was a little surprised when Louis showed up outside the time to change the water, but he was still a little unhappy because of what happened yesterday, so he put down the plate and turned his head to ignore Louis.

nLouis didn’t realize it yet. He reached out and fiddled with the water in the aquarium, and lightly touched the scales on Xi Ning’s fish tail. Xi Ning shrank and slapped hard on the back of his hand.

nThe strength he used was not very strong, but the slapping sound on his palms was quite loud and it can be heard very clearly in the quiet room. Louis looked at the back of his hand that was slightly reddish and said gloomily, “What are you doing?”

nWhen he fell in love with this mermaid, he wanted to keep him by his side. He didn’t even want the fifty million. He even retracted the signal he sent, but Xi Ning dared to slap him.

nXi Ning didn’t care what he was thinking. He lay down under the water and closed his eyes, obviously not wanting to answer.

nLouis squinted his eyes and stared at him for a while, and suddenly showed an inexplicable smile. “I thought you…… want to please me, but you seem to be looking forward to leaving.”

nHe also felt that Xi Ning was smart and knew what to do to make his life more comfortable, but today he changed his attitude so he probably still didn’t want to stay here.

nXi Ning emerged from the water with a strange expression, saying word by word, “To please you?”

nWhat did he do to make Louis think so?

nLouis got closer and looked at the expression on his face carefully, Xi Ning could almost feel the breath he exhaled. “You called me Lulu, asked me to hug you, and quietly touched my hand, isn’t this the reason you do all of this?”

nXi Ning was speechless for a moment, then said the longest sentence he had spoken in this world, “You are the one that insisted on hugging me.”

nLouis’ face stiffened. He only cared about all Xi Ning’s words and actions, but forgot what he had done.

n“But I didn’t touch you secretly?”

nXi Ning then refuted that he wasn’t touching Louis secretly, and snorted softly, “I won’t call you Lulu in the future anymore.”

nEven though it was a few simple words, still Louis felt that as if the tip of his heart was gently scratched with a feather. He licked his dry lips, “Then what will you call me?”

n“I’ll call you……” Xi Ning said, “Fifty million.”

nLouis finally realized that Xi Ning was angry because he said he was fifty million?

nXi Ning had already gone back into the water, turned his back to Louis, and ignored him.

nAt this time, the subordinate who came to change the water knocked on the door, and Louis went over to tell them, “Come back later.”

nThe subordinates saw that Louis seemed to be in a bad mood, so they quietly left.

nAfter returning to the aquarium, Louis crouched down and said to Xi Ning in the water. “I hug you in order to take you to take a bath. There’s no way you can use your fish tail to stand up, right?”

nXi Ning still ignored him, and Louis said again, “Even if you didn’t touch me secretly, the fact is you did touch me. Do you admit it?”

nThe water remained motionless, Louis hesitated and finally compromised. “You can call me fifty million, but you can’t call me that when there are others around……”

nXi Ning finally emerged from the water. He looked at Louis with a calm expression on his face, and asked, “Do you like me?”

nLouis was stunned for a moment and retorted, “What are you talking about……”

n“Do you?” Xi Ning interrupted him and asked again, “Do you like me?”

nLouis remained silent. He knew that he was particularly concerned about Xi Ning, but he hadn’t thought about a deeper relationship. Seeing that he didn’t answer, Xi Ning turned his head and went back into the water.

nThe room was silent, and after a long time, Louis said with a chuckle, “If that’s the case, how about staying here with me. There’s no need to return to the Federation since I can take care of you better……”

nWhile saying this he went to get Xi Ning out from the aquarium and wanted Xi Ning to look at him. Xi Ning was forced to come out of the water, he grabbed on the edge of the aquarium, and spit water at Louis’s face.
