Chapter 013 Tony's Return
Mary Jane fell silent after hearing Su Yi's reply.
If Su Yi had chosen her, then tonight, she wouldn't have planned on going home.
However, Su Yi chose to have it all.
This answer made it a bit difficult for Mary Jane to accept in the short term.
"Su, thank you for your honesty."
"It's just that I find it a bit hard to accept."
Su Yi continued to explain, "Mary Jane, I really do like you. If I were to deceive you, perhaps I could gain a lot, but I believe that's not what you want."
"I'm not like a playboy such as Tony Stark; he's just carefree and doesn't care about anything else."
"I genuinely like you all, and I hope to spend my life with you."
Mary Jane was distraught; her earlier happiness vanished. "I need some time to think about this. For now, I want to go home."
"I'll take you back."
Mary Jane didn't refuse and sat in the passenger seat.
The originally joyful atmosphere completely disappeared, leaving only a silent Mary Jane.
Mary Jane felt extremely uncomfortable, constantly pondering the issue in her heart.
"I knew I shouldn't have asked that question; perhaps it would have been better."
"Now, what should I do?"
"Give up Su and let him be with Gwen?"
"Or, accept Su's suggestion?"
Mary Jane's emotions were incredibly complex; after a few days of getting along, she realized she had fallen for Su Yi.
If she hadn't already fallen for him, with Mary Jane's independent, strong, and cheerful personality, she wouldn't have been so distressed; she would have just dumped Su Yi and been done with it.
Su Yi knew that Mary Jane just needed a little time and didn't bother her too much.
On the way, Su Yi played music, and Mary Jane gazed out the car window, lost in thought.
Before long, they arrived at Mary Jane's doorstep, but Mary Jane hadn't realized it.
Su Yi didn't disturb Mary Jane until she herself noticed that her house was right in front of her.
"I'm home. Thank you, Su. It was a wonderful evening, if not for that last part."
Seeing Mary Jane about to get out of the car, Su Yi got out first, waiting for her.
"Mary Jane, I still have some things I want to say to you."
Mary Jane was stunned, "I'm tired; maybe next time."
Su Yi actively grabbed Mary Jane's arm and pulled her into his embrace.
Mary Jane didn't resist much, letting Su Yi hold her like that.
"I know you need some time, and I will respect that."
"Thank you for appearing in my World and comforting me."
"I just want to say, I love you, and I always will."
Su Yi left his mark with a firm attitude and gentle manner, ending tonight's date.
"Good night!"
"Good night."
Mary Jane returned to her room and saw her sister, Gail, looking at her with interest.
"Oh, Mary Jane, I told Mom you weren't coming home tonight."
"And yet, you actually didn't seize the opportunity!"
Mary Jane hesitated for a moment and didn't mention the matter, "I just felt it shouldn't be too fast."
"I'm a bit tired; I'm going back to my room first."
Gail wanted to say something, but Mary Jane had already run back to her room and tightly closed the door.
Gail looked at Mary Jane's unusual behavior and felt something was off, but she couldn't quite pinpoint it.
The two of them seemed very intimate when they returned.
They even stopped at the door for a while; who knows what they were doing in the car.
Why was Mary Jane acting this way when she got home?
"Could it be that they were in the car?"
"No, that time is a bit short."
"Perhaps that's the reason; Su isn't very good, so Mary Jane is acting like this?"
… "Achoo!"
"What's going on? Did Mary Jane miss me?"
Su Yi rubbed his nose and recovered.
His first date with Mary Jane was a success, but also a failure.
However, Su Yi wasn't worried; as long as he could make Mary Jane accept this, he would be able to smoothly open his harem.
Returning home, Su Yi took a bath and slept comfortably.
Early the next morning, he saw Tony Stark dominating the news and headlines.
[According to official sources, Tony Stark has been rescued and is on his way back!]
[Missing for nearly 3 months, Stark finally returns!]
[Shocking, that man is coming back!]
… Su Yi looked at these messages, somewhat speechless, "It really is you, Tony. You're practically a top celebrity; your popularity is just that high."
"After you announce the closure of the weapons division, your popularity will definitely be even higher."
Su Yi was also thinking that next, he would definitely have to find a way to invest in Stark Industries.
"I currently have 1.1 million dollars. Even if the stock falls by 50%, I probably won't be able to buy many shares."
"So, the best way is still to make money from Tony."
"Make Tony's money, then buy shares in his company. When I become a shareholder of the company, it will be like Tony working for me to make money."
"Tsk tsk tsk, capitalists would exclaim at this method."
Su Yi was now quietly waiting for Stark's return, waiting for Stark's press conference… Meanwhile, after a long journey, Stark finally returned to this land.
His driver, Happy, and assistant, Pepper Potts, were already waiting at the airport.
Seeing Stark appear before them, both were incredibly excited.
Because Ethan had nowhere else to go, Stark brought him back as well.
"Hi, Boss."
Stark looked at Pepper, who was so excited she was almost in tears, and his mood improved considerably.
"Your eyes are red? Is it because you're Happy that your long-lost boss has returned safely?"
Pepper was amused, "No, I just hate having to look for a new job."
"Yes, your vacation is over."
Stark smoothly got into his luxury car, and Happy immediately asked, "Where to, Sir?"
Pepper immediately directed, "Drive to the hospital; I've already made an appointment with the Doctor."
"Okay."
Happy was about to drive off, but Stark stopped him, "No need to go to the hospital; I feel fine now."
Pepper still wanted to argue, "No, you look very unwell; you must…"
Stark interrupted Pepper, "I've been locked up for 3 months, and now that I'm back, there are only 2 things I want to do immediately."
"First, I want to eat a few hamburgers."
"Second, I want to hold a press conference at Stark Tower."
Pepper was very concerned about Stark's condition, "Boss, I think the press conference can be postponed. It would be better to hold it after we confirm that you have no physical problems."
Stark was a bit emotional, "I know my situation isn't good, but I'm not going to collapse. Holding the press conference now is more important."
Pepper didn't argue further and could only agree to Stark's decision.
"Happy, drive!"
"Yes, Boss."
Pepper also no longer objected, but instead called Obadiah to inform him.
Because the official news of Stark's return had been released, media reporters, eager for firsthand information, had already gathered at Stark Tower, surrounding it.
The media reporters, three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside, waited patiently until that car appeared in their line of sight.
