Chapter 51

I've always wanted to interview the legendary painter; I didn't expect to run into you 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 schedule 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.

Besides, if she could get him to paint a portrait, she could brag about it for a long time, and it could even serve as an entry ticket into high-society circles.

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

Ye Li's gaze didn't avoid or hide, landing on Christina's skimpy outfit; the meaning was obvious—

A private interview?

Girl, at least try to cover up.

In your current disheveled state, it's hard to imagine this being a serious interview...

You don't even put your clothes on properly before asking for an appointment.

Is this an interview appointment or a hookup...

"I bet you'd like it~"

Christina wasn't embarrassed by Ye Li's words—[Why pretend, your hand is still on my leg~]

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

He has a lot to say on this subject; we just finished a pleasant interview~"

Hearing this.

Tony, 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 even mouthed to Ye Li—

—[She's washed clean]

"You're certainly generous, Tony."

Ye Li rolled his eyes.

He was here for business, not to... why did it feel like Tony had become even more debauched than before?

Pepper couldn't watch anymore.

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

The subtext was—stop acting like a slut here, hurry up and put your clothes on!

"Heh~ thanks~"

Christina chuckled.

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

Those long legs were deliberately lifted high.

Pepper felt the veins on 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 two..."

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

If she didn't know that Tony didn't eat leftovers and didn't have those kinds of special hobbies.

She would have been worried about what ridiculous things these two men and one woman might do in the living room...

"How is it?"

After Pepper left.

Christina, now dressed, became 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, some things could be said more bluntly.

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. Christina, don't you think there's no 'coupling' feeling between us sitting together?"

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

"Christina."

Tony also started to see guests out, "The private car has been waiting for a long time; I think you can go now. We should also be considerate of the driver, shouldn't we?"

Although he didn't care about Christina, it was still uncomfortable to have a woman he'd just spent the night with clinging to another man right in front of him.

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

However, she was still unwilling to give up. As she left, she handed a small note to Ye Li...

After Christina left.

Ye Li glanced at the phone number on the note, then sparks danced on his fingertips, igniting the paper.

Seeing this, Tony was even more surprised by Ye Li's basic Golden Light Spell skills, "Can your martial arts also train your hands to become a lighter?"

Ye Li sprinkled the burnt paper ash into the ashtray and said, "Normally, you can't train it to do that, Tony. Maybe I'm just gifted."

It wasn't impossible to train the Golden Light Spell to produce lightning, but he didn't have that method, so he didn't give Tony any false hope.

"Alright."

Tony looked at the ash in the ashtray and teased, "Actually, she's really not bad. Won't you consider it?"

"I have standard Eastern aesthetics, Tony."

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

"I noticed you've bought quite a few company stocks recently?"

On the boxing ring.

Tony, wearing boxing gloves, threw a punch at Ye Li while chatting, "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 scrambled up and attacked again, "Superheroes aren't as simple as you think."

"Heh."

Ye Li used his hand to pull Tony's arm and executed a back throw, "Superheroes, don't be rigid with moves. Enemies won't talk about ring rules with you."

"Ouch."

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

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

Ye Li didn't mind, jumping off the ring and taking a cup of black tea handed over by Jarvis's mechanical arm, "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 to his basement for a tour.

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

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

"How about what?"

Ye Li stepped forward and knocked on the hunk of iron.

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

Tony lowered his hands, feeling bored, "Li, you should give some reaction."

Yinsen, who was studying module parts on the side, laughed, "Tony, only the ladies will scream for you."
