Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

“What?” Stanley Batton asked as he slowly shifted his gaze to Xyla Quest’s face.
“Are you really planning on not accepting the money in WeChat?” Xyla was determined to return the money to Five Batton.
“I don’t want it,” Stanley answered without hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xyla reached out to his phone so that she could accept the money on his behalf. However,
before she could even touch the phone, Stanley reflexively raised his phone high into the air.
“Can you not behave like this?” Xyla asked in softly as she frowned helplessly.
“No,” Stanley said before letting go of the phone.
Immediately, the phone began falling. Stanley was able to catch it with his other hand. He then unlocked the phone with a single
hand before he continued to read the news.
It happened so quickly, almost as if Stanley did not even need to think about it. Xyla was amazed by how Stanley was able to
move so agilely. It was the first time she had seen something like this.
This man in front of Xyla was handsome and charmed her whenever he was around.
After approximately ten minutes, Xyla tried to snatch Stanley’s phone away again. He raised it high in the air once again.
Xyla rarely met people like him. Why was he so against the idea of someone returning money to him?
However, Xyla was not going to give up. She stood up directly and tried to take the phone away from Stanley. Very quickly,
Stanley also stood up and raised the phone higher in the air. Regardless of how Xyla tried to stand on her toes or jump in the air,
she could not get close to the phone.
Stanley’s facial expression was beginning to soften. While a faint smile appeared on his face, he silently observed Xyla jumping
around in front of him.
Soon, the sky turned dark outside. Golden rays from the sun now filled the dusk sky.
The warm light from outside was seeping into the room, making the portrait appear somewhat romantic. It looked like a drama
scene where the lady was causing a scene while the man laughed along.

Perhaps due to the gentle sunset, Stanley felt that, at that moment, Xyla seemed almost like a white rabbit that was helplessly
trying to reach for something it wanted by jumping with all her might.
“Alright, stop messing around,” Stanley said gently before passing the phone to his other hand.
“If you give it to me, I’ll stop messing around,” Xyla said before jumping yet again.
“Don’t force me to use Kungfu on you,” Xyla said.
“Are you resorting to domestic violence?” The smile on Stanley’s face widened.
‘Domestic violence?’
Why did Xyla feel that this term sounded somewhat romantic?
Xyla ignored Stanley’s question and tried to use her Kungfu abilities to snatch the phone away from him. However, after several
attempts, Xyla was forced onto the couch and was unable to move at all.
Meanwhile, Stanley was half-kneeling over her body. With a single hand, he was able to keep both her hands locked tightly.
There was a playful look in his eyes.
Xyla became quiet as she tried to struggle free.
“Stop fighting? Hmm?” He asked softly.
The intimate distance and posture made Xyla feel goosebumps all over her body. Since two of the buttons below his collar were
open, Xyla could clearly see the lines along Stanley’s muscular chest. While she sensed his warm breath against her forehead, it
felt as if the entire living room was burning down.
Xyla’s heart began to pound wildly.
“Let go of me. Do you hear me?” She struggled a little more.
“Will you still try to attack me?” Stanley asked.
“No,” Xyla said. Although she believed she was a pretty good fighter, she was no match for Stanley. Now, she only wanted to be
free from his grip.

This was too dangerous a posture for them to be in. After looking at Xyla deeply, Stanley slowly let go of her. He then stood up
and fixed his messy collar.
Xyla immediately sat up and looked at Stanley seriously. “I hope that won’t happen again,” she said.
“Wasn’t it an accident?” Stanley asked with his brows raised slightly.
