Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2191

“That means I love you,” Stanley Batton declared, wearing a wary expression on his face. He had changed the topic hastily.

“I was joking," Xyla Quest laughed. "Look at how nervous you are.”

“How can I not be nervous when your emotions are involved?”

She couldn’t resist resting her head against his shoulder. “Okay, I have to get back to work. Do whatever you want, all right?”

“I’ve been spending so much time here with you, so shouldn’t you reward me? Hmm?” he asked.

She took one look at his perfect face and smiled. “What do you have in mind, huh?”

Turning fully to look at her, Stanley pressed his nose against hers. “What do you think?”

His tone had a seductive effect on Xyla, instantly making her heart pound rapidly.

She pressed a tender kiss on his lips before quickly standing up, hastening her footsteps away to avoid his wandering hands again. “Is that sufficient? I’m going back to work.”

Stanley touched his lips while he gazed at her from behind. After that, he checked on Weibo to look at breaking news.

There were many links related to Josh Batton on the list of hot topics, including how handsome he looked at the airport.

Stanley quickly skimmed through the rest as he wasn’t particularly interested in his brother's looks.

Soon, he noticed Xyla’s interview article with HC Magazine on the list of hot topics, so he promptly clicked on it.

It didn't feature any interview details, but he saw a picture HC Magazine had taken of his wife during the interview.

In the picture, she wore a white shirt and a pair of black, high-waisted pants. Her lips were flaming red, and her skin was fair and smooth.

She looked like an angel.

“D*mn. The shoes she’s wearing are the only pair in the world. It’s worth up to a million! D*mn! I’m too poor to imagine owning something like that!”

Stanley felt elated when he saw those compliments directed at his wife in the comment section. He gave likes to all those positive comments, feeling proud of her.

Suddenly, his name appeared on the tenth spot on the hot topics list. ‘#Stanley likes comments that praise Xyla#’.

He was still liking comments, remaining oblivious that any of this happened.

Since he had nothing else to do when he ran out of comments to like, he checked out other hot topics, and that was when he noticed the latest addition of his name.

Upon clicking on the newest link, he found numerous screenshots from marketing accounts, all of him liking comments that praised Xyla.

Countless netizens commented on each of those Weibo posts—
