Stanley Batton exited Weibo after reading through everything. “Alright, now, it’s time to eat,” he looked at Xyla Quest and said.
Xyla nodded while picking up her dining utensils. She then glanced at the list of hot topics.
Hot topic number one, ‘#Xyla Quest is X Entertainment’s boss# Explosive’.
Hot topic number two, ‘#Xyla Quest is a hidden big boss# Explosive’.
Hot topic number three, ‘#Xyla Quest is Jay Corben’s boss# Boiling’.
Hot topic number four, ‘#Xyla Quest, please accept my apology# Boiling’.
Xyla didn’t have to read further to know that those were all positive comments about her…
Hence, she put her phone aside and started to enjoy the food Stanley had made for her.
“Have some more.” Stanley slowly and methodically placed a piece of braised pork on her plate.
“Thank you, honey,” Xyla said with a smile.

After dinner, Stanley was responsible for doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen and the dining room.
Xyla, on the other hand, casually returned to the living room. She sat on the sofa with a packet of potato chips and ate the chips while scrolling through Weibo.
The list of hot topics on Weibo was still dominated by news about her identity.
In addition to the original hot topics, there were several newer ones.
Number ten, ‘#Xyla Quest, the most admired woman on the internet#’.
Number eleven, ‘#Xyla Quest, the woman surrounded by countless hot celebrities#’.
Number thirteen, ‘#How great is Xyla Quest’s life?#’.
Xyla didn’t look at the topics with her name. Instead, she browsed through other current news.
That was because she didn’t need to guess to know what those topics were all about…
Xyla then hung up the phone and stood up slowly and methodically while looking at Ron with a smile on her face. “Grandpa…” She said.
Ron held the teapot in his hands and stepped forward. “Well… Xyla, this is a very precious item.”
“Mom already told me about it. It’s a gift for you. I know you like Michelangelo’s work,” Xyla said.
“That won’t do… This is a valuable treasure,” Ron said.
Xyla instantly held Ron’s arm gently. “No matter how valuable an object is, I’ll give it to you as long as you like it…”
Her words made Ron smile broadly.

After Stanley had finished cleaning up the kitchen, Xyla returned to the bedroom with him…
As soon as they walked through the door, Stanley pushed Xyla against the door…
