Chapter 178
“What?” Stanley Batton asked as he slowly shifted his gaze to X Quest’s face.
“Are you really nning on not epting the money in WeChat?” X was determined to return the
money to Five Batton.
“I don’t want it,” Stanley answered without hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, X reached out to his phone so that she could ept 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?” X 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.
X 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 X was handsome and charmed her whenever he was around.
After approximately ten minutes, X tried to snatch Stanley’s phone away again. He raised it high
in the air once again.
X rarely met people like him. Why was he so against the idea of someone returning money to
him?
However, X 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 X
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 X 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 thedy was causing a scene while the manughed
along.

Perhaps due to the gentle sunset, Stanley felt that, at that moment, X 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,” X said before jumping yet again.
“Don’t force me to use Kungfu on you,” X said.
“Are you resorting to domestic violence?” The smile on Stanley’s face widened.
Domestic violence? Why did X feel that this term sounded somewhat romantic?
X ignored Stanley’s question and tried to use her Kungfu abilities to snatch the phone away from
him.
However, after several attempts, X 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 yful look in his eyes.
X became quiet as she tried to struggle free.
“Stop fighting? Hmm?” He asked softly.
The intimate distance and posture made X feel goosebumps all over her body.
Since two of the buttons below his cor were open, X could clearly see the lines along Stanley’s
muscr chest.
While she sensed his warm breath against her forehead, it felt as if the entire living room was
burning down.
X’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,” X 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 X deeply, Stanley slowly let go of her. He then stood up and fixed his messy
cor.
X immediately sat up and looked at Stanley seriously.
“I hope that won’t happen again,” she said.
“Wasn’t it an ident?” Stanley asked with his brows raised slightly.
