“I think she should look at least as pretty as Xyla Quest, right?”
“Don’t beat around the bush, you all. Just say that you’re jealous of Xyla Quest because she can be friends with Josh Batton.”
Xyla Quest did not notice it, but her soft lips had stretched to a smile again as she scrolled through the comment section.
After briefly reading a couple more comments, she exited the app and glanced at Stanley Batton. “Speaking of which, let’s go to your parents’ house tonight. I want to talk to Dad.”
Stanley’s eyes were brimmed with curiosity. “Why? What’s the matter?”
“Here’s the thing. Your brother came to me this morning, hoping that I could do him a favor. He asked me to persuade Dad to go to his concert… He wants to prove to Dad that his job isn't just about looking handsome… He wants him to notice his hard work,” explained Xyla.
“Okay, then. We’ll have dinner at my place tonight,” Stanley said.
“Alright, sure.”
Stanley decided to pull up by the roadside when he passed by a bubble milk tea store. He looked at the bubble milk tea francaise across the street. “Do you want some bubble milk tea?”
The street was bustled with crowds, and many people were lining up in front of the bubble milk tea store.
That was her favorite bubble milk tea brand.
Before this, Xyla did not have an appetite for bubble milk tea at all. Nevertheless, she could not stand the temptation as she caught sight of the store.
“Yeah…” Xyla said, “But there are so many people in line. Don’t you have a job on your hands?”
“It’s okay. I’ll buy it for you. Wait for me in the car, and listen to music if you’re bored.”
“Okay.”
Then, the man got out of the car and walked across the busy street, heading straight to her favorite bubble milk tea store.
Snow-white shirt, black pants, and black suit. Typical classy businessman outfit. In addition to his gorgeous face, his appealing appearance had successfully attracted countless passersby on the street.
This was especially true for the young girls in the queue, who could hardly take their eyes off him.
The girls were gibbering and chattering excitedly. Nonetheless, Stanley paid them no notice as usual.
He had been dealing with this kind of situation since he was a child. Therefore, he was already used to it.
He just thought that they were pretty annoying sometimes.
Xyla’s pride for her husband kicked in as she watched him being admired by so many girls in the middle of the street.
Placing her hand under his chin, she continued to look at her popular husband with a smug smile.
Suddenly, the girls who had lined up for a long time started to offer their spots to Stanley, striving to stand behind him.
Stanley did not even bother to look at any of them.
Initially, no less than ten people were queuing in front of Stanley. Thanks to the girls, only three people were left in front of him in a blink of an eye.
Gathering all her courage, the girl standing behind Stanley tapped his back and whispered warily, “Hello, may I have your number?”
