Chapter 132

~6 min read 1,147 words

I've always wanted to interview the legendary painter; I didn't expect to run into you right here at Mr. Stark's house."

After Ye Li finished chatting with Tony.

Christina, unaware that she had already been passed over by Ye Li, confidently struck up a conversation.

"I'm a reporter for Vanity Fair, Christina Ever. I'd like to book a private interview; do you have any time?"

Interviewing the famous painter Ye Li was great material for a report; even if she got nothing out of it, it would be worth it.

And if she could get him to paint a portrait, that would be something to brag about for a long time, perhaps even serving as an entry ticket into socialite circles.

"Ms. Christina Ever... do all reporters from Vanity Fair interview like this?"

Ye Li's gaze didn't shy away, landing on Christina's revealing outfit. The meaning was clear—

A private interview?

Girl, at least try to cover up.

With you looking this disheveled, it's hard to imagine this being a serious interview...

You didn't even put your clothes on properly before coming to ask for an interview.

Is this an interview request or a booty call...

"I bet you'd like it~"

Christina wasn't embarrassed by Ye Li's words—【What are you pretending for? Your hand is still on my leg~】

She struck a seductive pose and smiled, "Perhaps you could consult Mr. Stark.

He has a lot of say in this regard; we just finished a very pleasant interview~"

Hearing this.

Tony, sitting across the sofa, raised his eyes and said nonchalantly, "Oh, yes, her interview was great.

Li, if you're interested, I can lend you an interview room~"

As he spoke.

He mouthed something to Ye Li—

—【She's cleaned up】

"You're certainly generous, Tony."

Ye Li rolled his eyes.

He was here for serious business, not to do... why did Tony feel even more dissolute than before?

Pepper couldn't watch anymore.

She got up to retrieve Christina's dry-cleaned clothes and handed them to her, saying, "Ma'am, these are your clothes; they've been dry-cleaned and pressed."

The subtext was—stop acting like a tramp here and get dressed!

"Heh~ thanks~"

Christina chuckled.

She took the plastic bag, opened it, and then started changing seductively on the sofa next to Ye Li~

She deliberately lifted those long legs high.

Pepper felt the veins in her forehead throbbing.

Out of sight, out of mind, she turned to Tony and said, "I'm going to prepare breakfast for you all."

Tony nodded, "Go ahead, Pepper."

"You guys..."

Before Pepper left, she glanced back at Christina, who was still changing, "Have a good chat."

If she didn't know Tony didn't eat his own leftovers and didn't have those kinds of weird hobbies.

She would have been worried that these two men and one woman would do something absurd in the living room...

"How about it?"

After Pepper left.

Christina, now dressed, felt much more relaxed. She hugged Ye Li's arm and pressed her ample chest against him, asking, "Mr. Ye, have you considered the interview?"

Ye Li also felt that since the other lady had left, he could be a bit more direct.

However, he wouldn't go so far as to say, "You don't meet my standards, I'm not interested in you."

That would be too ungentlemanly.

So Ye Li said tactfully, "Ms. Christine, don't you think there's no 'coupling' feeling between us sitting together?"

Christina:?? You were touching my leg just a moment ago, and now that I'm dressed, you don't recognize me?

"Christine."

Tony started showing her the door, "The car has been waiting for a long time. I think you can go now; we have to be considerate of the driver, don't we?"

Although he didn't care about Christina, seeing a woman he'd just spent the night with immediately clinging to another man, right in front of him, naturally made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

Christina had no choice; she couldn't help but curse inwardly—all men are trash!

But she still wasn't willing to give up. As she left, she slipped a small note to Ye Li...

After Christina left.

Ye Li glanced at the phone number on the note, then flicked his fingertips, sparks dancing, and ignited the paper.

Seeing this, Tony was even more surprised by Ye Li's Jin Guang Mantra fundamentals. "Your martial arts can even train your hand to be a lighter?"

Ye Li scattered the burnt paper ash into the ashtray and said, "It's not something you can normally train, Tony. Maybe I'm just gifted."

It wasn't impossible to train the Jin Guang Mantra into a Lightning Method, but he didn't have that technique, so he didn't give Tony any false hope.

"Fine."

Tony looked at the ash in the ashtray and teased, "Actually, she was quite nice. Won't you reconsider?"

"I have standard Eastern aesthetics, Tony."

Ye Li clapped his hands and stood up. "Alright, let's get some nutrition from breakfast; I'll teach you a few moves today."

"I noticed you've bought quite a lot of company stock recently?"

On the boxing ring.

Tony put on his boxing gloves and threw a punch at Ye Li, chatting as he did, "You know, ever since I announced the closure of the weapons division, the stock has been falling. Do you trust me that much?"

"Focus, Tony."

Ye Li couldn't be bothered to explain, using his foot to trip him to the ground. "This isn't a boxing match. Your level is still far from enough, Iron Man."

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Do you know who you're looking down on?"

Tony immediately climbed up and attacked again. "Superheroes aren't as simple as you think."

"Heh."

Ye Li pulled his arm and executed a back throw. "Superhero, don't get hung up on moves. Enemies won't follow ring rules with you."

"Ouch."

Tony sat on the ground, not getting up, pressing his waist. "Alright, alright, that's enough for today; I've already learned a lot."

He had been beaten badly and couldn't keep going.

Ye Li didn't care. He jumped off the ring and took a cup of black tea from the robotic arm Jarvis extended. "Then practice more on your own."

"Buddy."

Tony invited, "Want to see my Iron Man suit?"

Tony wanted to regain some face, so he took Ye Li for a tour of his basement.

Ye Li saw Yinsen; it seemed he was Tony's assistant now.

Tony walked up to the suit, spread his arms, and looked proud. "How about it?"

"How about what?"

Ye Li stepped forward and knocked on the iron hunk.

With the structure of this generation of Iron Man suit, he could dismantle it with his shockwave ability alone.

Tony put his hands down, bored. "Li, you should give some reaction."

Yinsen, who was studying modular parts on the side, laughed, "Tony, only the ladies will scream for you." ===== CHAPTER 134 =====
