Xyla hastily used the cutlery to take up a strand of noodles and put it in her mouth. The sweet and spicy taste spread across her taste buds. It was both stimulating and delicious.
She gave him a thumbs-up as she ate. “The noodles are cooked just right. It’s the texture I like.”
“That’s good then,” he said faintly, sitting down beside her to browse through Weibo’s search ranking.
“Are you really not going to eat?” Xyla asked.
“Yeah,” he simply answered. He frowned a little the moment he saw the number one search on the list.
At that moment, the top of the list was dominated by #Josh Batton helping Xyla Quest deny rumors#.
He glanced faintly at her before tapping into the search result before finally realizing what had happened.
After a good look at Josh’s clarification statement and screenshots of his reply to fans, Stanley turned to Xyla who was focused on eating her noodles. “Why didn’t you tell me you were being slandered?”
Xyla smiled. “Because I can take care of it myself.”
Stanley frowned slightly. “Does it upset you?”
Xyla shook her head. She lowered her head to suck a little of the egg yolk with great elegance. “I’m not upset. I’ve seen too many of such incidents, so I’m numb toward it.”
“Who did you offend?” he asked.
“Just Mary Sullivan… When you were cooking just now, I hacked into her phone with my computer and saw everything.” Then, Xyla lowered her head again to take a bite of the egg.
At the thought of those vulgar lies Mary had weaved, Xyla frowned slightly.
“Choose if you want someone to beat her up or the same favor returned.” A hint of warmth appeared in his eyes as his tone became increasingly cold.
Seeing that her phone was charging on the side, she got up immediately to take it before kicking the other three people, looking down at them from above. “What’s going on? Why are we sleeping here? And why was my phone charging? Did you guys touch my phone?”
“No. After you got drunk last night, our phones died as well so we called the waiter to send some chargers over and to charge yours while he was at it…”
“Yeah, that’s it. By the way, shouldn’t we take a look at Weibo? To see how everyone is going at Xyla Quest now that our phones are charged.”
“Yeah, yeah!”
The three girls spoke one after another.
Feeling delighted, Mary quickly accessed Weibo and sat on the sofa.
She waved at the others. “Gather round, let’s witness this miracle together.”
