Chapter 438: Chapter 427: Milia Reading a Novel

"Oh, as long as it’s not boring." Xia Yue nodded.

"Alright, it’s almost time for dinner, you can go eat now." Old Master Xia looked at the time and told her.

"Grandpa, I just got here and you’re already telling me to go. Besides, it’s been a while since I ate with you all, you should keep me for dinner." Xia Yue pouted, looking at Old Master Xia.

"It hasn’t been that long, once in the last half month. Before, we ate together at least once a month, and at most, every three months. So, it’s not a big difference." Old Master Xia said.

"Most grandparents want their grandchildren to spend more time with them. But you, you’re the opposite." Xia Yue said helplessly.

"That’s because they lack a sense of security. They always feel their descendants won’t be good to them, so they ask their descendants to accompany them more, to put their minds at ease. I’m different; I have confidence in you all. Seeing you once a month is enough, any more would be irritating." Old Master Xia replied casually.

"I can’t argue with you." Xia Yue shook her head and then thought of the Fantasy Space. She said: "In half a month, our vacation area will be introducing a new entertainment project. It will be suitable for both old and young. At that time, grandma and grandpa can go play. I’ll arrange for the system to help, so you’ll have private space and shared space."

"Really? That’s amazing! We’ll have to give it a try." Old Master Xia was intrigued and turned to his wife with a smile.

"Sure." The old lady nodded. Since there was nothing else to do, she was willing to give it a go.

"Ok, I’ll eat first then. When the project is ready, I’ll take you there." Xia Yue said with a smile.

"Alright, go ahead" Old Master Xia nodded.

Leaving the courtyard of Old Master Xia, Xia Yue headed out of the mansion and took a small electric scooter to the hotel.

"Hello, Boss."

"Hello, Boss Xia."

Sena and Qu Xin, seeing Xia Yue arrive, greeted her together.

"Hi, have you eaten yet?" Xia Yue asked.

"Yes, we have," both replied in unison.

"If we didn’t know better, we would think you two were twin sisters." The mocking voice of Milia came from the side. Xia Yue turned to see her coming from the direction of the Dining Hall, a mocking smile on her face as she looked at Sena and Qu Xin.

"Hello, Milia" Xia Yue greeted her with a smile.

"Boss, as the top leader here, don’t you think your warm and friendly style is inappropriate? You should be authoritative and imposing, not this good-tempered." Milia said, showing her dissatisfaction to Xia Yue.

"I think I am fine." Xia Yue shrugged and looked at her innocently.

"Such a lost cause, hmpf." Milia huffed and stormed out of the hotel.

"Eh? Hello, Boss; where’s Milia?" asked Ziluo as she hurried out, greeting Xia Yue in surprise.

"She thinks I’m a lost cause, so she left." Xia Yue sighed.

"She’s been reading too many uplifting female protagonist novels recently, and it’s... well, you experienced it first-hand," Ziluo told her.

"Who got her those?" Xia Yue asked, a bit troubled.

"She found them on her own. Recently when she doesn’t have anything to do, she’ll just sit there and read." said Ziluo.

"Don’t let her get her hands on any stupid romance novels," Xia Yue said worryingly, fearing that Milia would morph into an obsessed romantic.

"She has already read those. However, she didn’t like them. She even complained to me about the women in those books not being strong and self-respecting, forgiving the men who hurt them. She declared if she were in their position, she’d cripple them." Ziluo said quite helplessly.
