[Comprehensive English and American] The years I opened a grocery store in Queens

Isabella knew what Tony meant by "discomfort".

She hasn't watched TV these days. If she did, she would find that under the overwhelming reports about her, there are still a few bombing news. Recently, because of Harpy's injury, Tony's voice has been fermented.

As soon as Isabella and Tony stepped on the red carpet at the dinner party, they were surrounded by countless flashing lights and microphones. Isabella heard such a question.

"Mr. Stark, you provoked Mandarin, aren't you afraid of his retaliation?"

"He is a coward who can only hide in a dark corner and never see the light."

The reporter handed the microphone to Isabella and asked, "Mr. Stark said he would personally kill the Mandarin. Will you fight alongside him?"

The term "Mandarin" is very unfamiliar to Isabella. There was a moment of bewilderment on her face, but she immediately adjusted her expression: "We will always fight side by side."

Tony curled his lips.

The reporter's questions are always endless: "There have been speculations about the relationship between the two before. Does your answer just now mean that you are in love?"

Tony leaned in front of the microphone with a proud face: "Exactly."

After he finished speaking, he took Isabella's hand and shook it in front of the camera, and the flash frantically captured this scene.

Although there were still countless microphones stretched out in front of Isabella and Tony, every reporter looked eagerly, and the two did not answer many questions. Tony held Isabella's hand tightly and walked on the red carpet.

Isabella asked in a low voice: "Who is Mandarin?"

Tony replied without changing his face: "A coward who made a few small bombings is not worth mentioning. You don't have to worry about it."

"Ah."

Isabella agreed, but it didn't mean she believed Tony's words. She suspected that "a coward who made several small bombings" could not sum up the true identity of Mandalin, and Tony was making a really important thing into a small one. Li said.

If there were really a few small bombings, why did Natasha also participate in the investigation? She is a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and would not be involved in any non-major cases.

This Mandarin is definitely not easy to deal with.

Isabella remembered Tony's vague worries in recent days, and after hearing the name Mandarin, he confirmed a lot. He should be worried about the threat brought by Mandarin.

It's a pity that I don't have magic power now, otherwise I can help him share some distress, but he didn't tell himself, probably because he didn't want to burden her psychologically.

Thinking of this, Isabella's hand clenched even tighter.

After walking the red carpet, he stepped into the main hall of the dinner party. The old gentleman in a suit and wearing a pair of brown sunglasses standing at the door to welcome the guests was Mr. Dominic Gibbs. He was old and his cheeks were drooping. , people are still very spiritual.

In addition to the straight back that can prove that he is full of energy, the more direct proof is that there are two young girls standing next to him. Both of them were once the cover models of "Playboy Events". An arm of the gentleman, with a light smile, a charming smile.

Mr. Gibbs smiled even more when he saw Tony. He warmly greeted Tony and Isabella: "Long time no see, little Tony."

"Long time no see, Uncle Gibbs."

"I told you not to call me Uncle, you always try to annoy me and call me a pirate captain!"

Old Mr. Gibbs cast his eyes on Isabella beside Tony: "This is Miss Xavier."

"Hello, Mr. Gibbs, just call me Isabella."

"You are the same as this kid, call me the pirate captain."

Isabella nodded, and then looked at the two beauties beside Mr. Gibbs, who had looked at her from beginning to end. If they were given a scalpel, they could take out Isabella's internal organs and study them carefully. , They would like to see what kind of magical power this witch has, so that Tony Stark has been fascinated.

I only saw her in the news before, but now I see her in real life, it's nothing special!

"I've seen you on the news, you're so charming waving the magic wand," Mr. Gibbs' eyes lit up, and the TV news happened to be Isabella waving the magic wand to release her guardian angel. In the picture of God, she was surrounded by a huge light at that time. Under the silver light, she looked like Venus alive. "Seeing you in real life is even more charming now."

The two cover girls snorted coldly in their hearts.

Women's senses are very keen, and Isabella has long been aware of their emotions, and can also feel that although their arms are holding Mr. Gibbs, their real eyes have always stayed on Tony.

After exchanging greetings with Mr. Gibbs, the waiter led Isabella and Tony into the banquet hall. Although it was a charity dinner, the specifications of the dinner were not "charitable" at all. A gorgeous Baroque crystal chandelier hung in the center of the ceiling , shining brightly on the faces of every guest, the exquisite snacks filled the entire banquet venue, but few people took them, and more people chose to hold an elegant goblet to the fountain pool with red wine flowing Put a small cup in it.

Participating in charity dinners is exclusive to the rich, and only those with spare money will care about other people's food and clothing.Isabella's family is also a wealthy family, but Professor X is already old, and he prefers a leisurely life of drinking tea, reading and playing chess. X Manor does not often hold large banquets, and once or twice, Isabella is also there Hogwarts, so she rarely attended such dinner parties.

But Tony Stark is the center of attention wherever he goes.

Isabella didn't know if it was an illusion. The moment the two of them entered the door, everyone at the dinner party turned their heads and focused on the two of them, and Isabella felt a little nervous.

"Relax, honey," Tony said softly, tilting his head towards her.

Isabella glanced at Tony beside her. This man looked calm and even a little tired. Attending such a dinner party was commonplace for him.

In addition to preparing donations for African children, another purpose of hosting the dinner is to allow this group of rich people to enhance communication, and the banquet is essential for communication.

The waiter brings Isabella and Tony two glasses of wine, the first social step at a dinner party, and it usually sends a message: Come and clink glasses with me now.

Pepper did bring Mr. Killian.

Mr. Killian has blond hair combed back, wearing a high-end beige suit, and has a square face with Chinese characters, handsome eyebrows, and extremely thin lips.

Pepper wore a beige silk dress to match Mr. Killian's beige suit, and her long blond hair was pulled back into a low sideburns, with thin pearls pinned to her ears.

Pepper and Mr. Killian looked quite right. Pepper was holding Mr. Killian's left arm with his right hand, with a smile on his face. Isabella couldn't help thinking that they must be very happy.

Pepper: "This is Mr. Killian."

Mr. Killian held out his hand to Tony: "Long time no see, Mr. Stark."

Tony looked at Mr. Killian's outstretched hand, hesitated a little, but still shook it: "Long time no see? Do we really know each other?"

Tony didn't have such a character in his memory. He felt that if he really knew this person, he should have an impression of him. After all, the man in front of him is likely to be a strong contender for his title of the world's most attractive man.

Although in the end he will still be his defeat.

Mr. Killian raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Mr. Stark is a noble man who forgets his affairs. We saw it at the Swiss Technology Fair in [-]."

"Oh!" Tony seemed to remember.

ninety-nine?Isabella heard about this ancient year, and it has been more than ten years, and she doesn't quite believe that Tony can still remember what happened at that time.

Pepper: "You remember?"

"No." Tony said honestly.

The smile on Mr. Killian's face couldn't hold back: "I still have a fresh memory of that night!"

"is it?"

"Of course, Mr. Stark had an appointment with me at the time, but instead he went into the beauty's boudoir. I thought it would be a good night for Mr. Stark."

Mr. Killian's tone was calm, but he revealed a big secret. Tony quickly looked at Isabella beside him, but she looked calm and didn't see anything unusual.

"By the way, I happened to meet that beauty later on. She still remembers that wonderful night. If we have a chance, we can make an appointment to reminisce about the past."

Shut up now, you!

It is basic common sense not to mention an ex-lover in front of the current girlfriend. If Mr. Gibbs is not brain-dead, then he deliberately disrupted it.

"Pepper," Tony called Pepper's name, "Mr. Gibbs's balcony is very beautiful, please take Isabella to visit."

Mr. Killian: "It's not Pepper's work time."

Pepper stood up, took Isabella's hand, and smiled at Mr. Killian: "I have sworn to marry a working woman, and any time is my working time."

So Isabella and Pepper went to the balcony together.

The women are gone, and the men's conversations are just beginning.

Tony's gentle expression faded away, and he put on a serious expression: "I hope Pepper hasn't dated a stupid person for so many days, tell me, Mr. Killian, what did I do to you in Switzerland to make you unforgettable? "

Mr. Gibbs' balcony is really beautiful, like a hanging garden, and there is a faint sweet fragrance in the air.

"Since I'm about to break up with Mr. Killian, I won't apologize for his rude words." Pepper pulled Isabella to find a secluded corner.

"Why did you break up?"

"Because it wasn't suitable," Pepper said. "He pursued me for a long time and aggressively, so I thought about giving it a try, and now it's really not suitable."

In fact, Pepper really wanted to complain about Killian. This man is too sensitive, his self-esteem and self-esteem are too strong, and getting along with him is really tiring.

But Pepper is very well-bred. She is not the kind of person who will speak ill of her ex-boyfriend. In the end, she only said one sentence: "I often think that Killian actually wants to fall in love with Tony more."

"what?"

"He asks me about Tony every day. I'm not exaggerating. It's really..."

Pepper sighed: "It's so annoying!"

If it is true that Mr. Killian wants to fall in love with Tony more than Pepper said, then his impolite words just now can be explained, isn't he just trying to deliberately reveal Tony's romantic history and force her to leave his real girlfriend!

Isabella's mood is a little delicate.

"However, although Killian was rude, I don't think he's lying. Tony has always been a slutty character. Do you really mind?"

"Do you mind?"

I don't know what kind of flowers are planted on Mr. Gibbs' balcony. Not only does it have a strong fragrance in the nose, but also the sweetness in the heart.

"But what's the use of minding? That's all in the past."

When Tony confessed to her, he said something—I am waiting for you in the future—Isabella had been thinking about the meaning of this sentence, and later she explained that Tony handed over the future to her.

That's what Tony probably meant, so don't worry about the past anymore.

After Isabella finished speaking, Pepper didn't speak, but fell into a moment of silence. After a long time, she said, "I'm going to break up with Killian now."

Now?

Before Isabella could react, Pepper had already left with her long legs. Isabella looked at her back and couldn't help but smile. She was indeed a career-oriented woman, and she could do everything so quickly.

Isabella stood up and wanted to catch up, but suddenly felt dizzy, and a vigorous force in her body was about to burst out.

Isabella knew the source of this power: a magic riot.

Although she has lost her magic memory, she is still the wizard chosen by Merlin, and she has always had magic hidden in her body. When she was nine years old, she blew up a statue at home during her first magic riot. The flowers will suffer.

But she is no longer a nine-year-old child. She mobilized all the strength in her body to suppress the magic power in her body. She was sweating profusely, barely suppressing it, her mind was in chaos, and she was groggy.

She needs some help.

Every step I take, my legs are soft, and my whole body is extremely weak, and I will fall down in the next second.

With great difficulty, she managed to brace herself and walked back to the main hall of the dinner party. She saw the direction of her lover at a glance. She also saw a woman handing Tony a name card with bright lipstick marks on it.

Isabella still has an impression of this woman. It is the female reporter who had entangled with Tony.

And Tony didn't seem to reject her name post.

His lips moved slightly, but Isabella couldn't make out his words.

There was always a charming and uninhibited smile on his face.

Isabella wanted to move forward, but after all, she couldn't hold on and fell down heavily.

"Doctor Karen, someone has fainted!"
