Ling Xiao said this, how could Stark not understand, he waved his hand, scattered the virtual layer on the ground, sighed slightly, and said, "Ling, I want you to help me take care of Pepper during the time I am away, and don't let her have an accident." ”

"Okay, I see, don't worry." Ling Xiao nodded slightly, looked at Stark, and said, "But, Tony, you have to talk to me about your current mental state now, I heard that your mental state has been very unstable recently. ”

"Pepper told you all this, and that's what she said when she called you to the company yesterday." Stark couldn't help but smile bitterly, sighed, and said to Ling Xiao: "I'm in a bad situation now, Ling, since the New York incident, I can't help but worry. I'm nothing compared to aliens and gods, after all, I'm just a man hiding in an iron shell. ”

Looking at Stark's somewhat decadent expression, Ling Xiao sighed slightly, indeed, compared to Thor, Dr. Banner, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Captain America, and Ling Xiao himself, Stark's mental endurance is the lowest, and it is no wonder that he will cause anxiety after the New York incident.

"Thankfully, Pepper moved in, so I didn't break down." Stark spread his hands, and said helplessly: "But even so, I still can't sleep, Pepper sleeps on top, and I do my own thing below, banging and banging." But danger can come at any time, and I want to protect the only people I can't afford to lose, and these armors, they are part of my body. ”

"Tony, you're thinking too much!" Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, and said comfortingly: "When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, in New York, there is a similar alien invasion, and the first one to top is not you, nor Dr. Reed, but Professor Charles." As for Los Angeles, Tony, it's not for me to say that if the last incident happens again, I'll definitely react faster than you. So you can have a good rest at night, if you can't do it, you can move to my neighborhood, with me here, what else do you need to worry about? ”

When Ling Xiao said this, Stark couldn't help but be slightly stunned, if he really did this, although it was impossible to prevent the alien invasion, but when the aliens invaded, it would be able to give him enough time to react, protect Pepper at the same time, and protect himself, and it would be impossible for a blue energy beam to be directly penetrated in his sleep.

"Thank you, Ling." Stark felt a little relieved, not completely relieved, but it was enough to make him breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's go, let's go up and have a drink......" Before Stark's words fell, there was a sound of the doorbell ringing outside, he couldn't help frowning, and said a little unhappily: "Jarvis, why is there still someone knocking on the door, didn't I say to be on high alert, please, I just threatened a terrorist in the morning, who is so afraid of death?" ”

"I'm sorry, sir." There was a hint of a teasing smile in Jarvis's flat figure: "There's nothing I can do about it, who made you release your address to the world's media?" ”

"Let's go, let's go and see who is it, who dares to come to you at this time?" Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and pushed Stark, who was a little reluctant, towards the upstairs, not caring about his muttering at all.

Standing outside the villa, Maya Hansen kept knocking on the glass door, and suddenly, with a click, the glass door opened automatically.

Maya walked in in surprise, and the machine next to her emitted a bluish wave of light, sweeping her from head to toe.

A man in steel armor walked over, and Stark's voice came from inside, "You shouldn't be a Man-sama, right?" ”

The mask popped open, and Stark's face appeared inside, looking at some familiar faces, as well as his unfamiliar tone, Maya's heart was full of confusion, and at the same time, a bitter smile appeared on her face: "You really don't remember me, why am I not surprised at all." ”

Ling Xiao sat on the sofa behind him and watched the reunion of this pair of old lovers with great interest.

Stark probably didn't recognize Maya Hansen, so he said expressionlessly, "It's not your fault, I don't even remember what I ate in the morning!" ”

"It's a gluten-free waffle, sir." In habit, Jarvis quickly replied, he didn't notice how embarrassing the scene was!

"I see!" Stark sighed helplessly, the intelligent program is too advanced, and sometimes it is not a good thing.

"Listen." Maya Hansen said with a serious face: "I want to say a few words to you alone, it's better not to be here, it's a very important thing." ”

Maya's gaze fell on Ling Xiao, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and her expression was a little uneasy.

Stark looked back at Ling Xiao and smiled at him, before turning to Maya Hansen and saying, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have refused, but now that I have an official girlfriend, I shouldn't ......"

"Tony, are there any guests here?" Pepper's voice came down from the second floor, and she heard the woman's voice and walked down with some curiosity.

"yes, it's Maya Hansen." Stark's gaze fell on Maya with a surprised and surprised expression, how could he not recognize her, Harpy had just mentioned to him about meeting Kirian in Sweden at the end of the last century before the accident, and naturally remembered Maya, who had a romantic relationship with him.

Turning his head, Stark said to Pepper, who walked down, "A botanist friend, I used to know and wasn't very familiar with it. ”

After speaking, he asked Maya in a quick and low voice, "Don't tell me that I have a 12-year-old child who has never met me waiting for me in the car." ”

"He's thirteen!" Maya looked at Stark's somewhat frightened expression, then she couldn't help laughing, shook her head, and said, "No, I only came to ask you for help this time." ”

"Help, now." Stark couldn't help but frown, the timing of Maya Hansen's arrival was too unfortunate.

"Because I read the newspaper." Maya said worriedly, "Frankly, I don't think you'll make it through a week. ”

Maya's words made Stark's heart feel a little warm, but he still shook his head and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

"Hey, Ling!" Pepper greeted Ling Xiao as she walked down the stairs, but she looked at her with a little worry in her eyes.

Ling Xiao smiled, nodded, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

After receiving Ling Xiao's affirmative reply, Pepper finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Maya Hansen: "Because Harpy is hospitalized, we didn't expect unexpected guests to visit. ”

"Yes, we really don't want anyone to visit at this time?" Stark's face stiffened a little, and he replied casually.

As a pillow person, Pepper is very familiar with Tony, and the strange atmosphere between him and Maya can be seen through at a glance, she frowned slightly, and asked with some curiosity: "Ex-girlfriend?" ”

"No, no, she's not." Tony quickly explained in a little panic, seeing that Stark was so nervous about Pepper, Maya was a little reluctant at this moment.

I saw Maya tilting her head and looking at Stark, and said with contempt on her face: "He's right, I'm not his ex-girlfriend, it's just a one-night stand at most." ”

"Well, that's one of your feats, right, Tony?" Pepper's tone immediately began to become unkind, she glared at Tony vigorously, and then hugged Tony's arm, and said to Maya helplessly, "It's good that you didn't jump into the fire pit!" ”

"What!" Tony couldn't believe what came out of Pepper's mouth, what did she mean by this, when did she become a fire pit?

In this world, the most troublesome thing for a man is the encounter between his current girlfriend and his ex-girlfriend, which is no less intense than Mars hitting the earth, and what is even more troublesome is when these two women join forces to deal with themselves.
