Tony, Do You Want a Wife?

After several busy days, Qin Yi returned to his bedroom through a spatial vortex.

He collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Two days later,

Qin Yi opened his eyes to find Aunt Maria, Uncle Howard, and Tony standing by the bed, looking at him with concern.

"Finally awake, Little Qin."

Aunt Maria held Qin Yi's hand.

"I'm fine, Auntie. I was just too tired."

Qin Yi raised his other hand and rubbed his eyes.

"Your uncle and I thought you had gone out to have fun, until Tony discovered you'd been lying in your room the whole time."

Tony, standing nearby, added,

"You were out for about two and a half days. I had a doctor come take a look. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with you. If we'd had your senior sister's contact information, we would've called her over to check on you."

Qin Yi held Aunt Maria's hand.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I'm so strong. How could I possibly get sick?"

"Are you hungry? I'll have the kitchen prepare something for you."

"Mm."

Qin Yi nodded heavily.

After Howard and Maria went downstairs, Qin Yi looked up at Tony, who was standing by the desk.

"Brother Tony, how's the armor research coming along?"

Tony pondered for a while before speaking.

"It should be nearly done. Honestly, I used to watch you flying around every day. Before long, I'll be able to fly too."

"Then congratulations."

Qin Yi got up and stretched.

"Has anything major happened these past two days?"

"If the White House being bombed by terrorists counts, then yes. Fortunately, the president and senior government officials were elsewhere discussing the peace conference with the Mutants, so there were no casualties. Then Rhodes led soldiers in capturing the terrorists and got promoted to colonel."

Tony raised his hand to check his watch, then added,

"The promotion ceremony should be about over by now."

Qin Yi pursed his lips. Sure enough, there were some truths ordinary people could never access.

"I'll head downstairs first. After you eat, we can go to the lab and work on it some more."

"Alright. I'll take a shower first."

At the dining table,

Aunt Maria kept piling food onto Qin Yi's plate. As Qin Yi devoured the feast by himself, his mouth stuffed full, he mumbled,

"Auntie, I'm not a child anymore."

Aunt Maria suddenly asked Qin Yi in a mysterious tone,

"Little Qin, is there any girl you like at school? Why not bring her home so your uncle and I can help you assess her?"

With half a drumstick stuffed in his mouth, Qin Yi stared at Aunt Maria in surprise and complained helplessly to himself.

Does the United States have arranged marriages too? But I should only be fifteen in this life. Anything under eighteen counts as being a pervert.

"Auntie, I haven't even graduated yet. How about we urge Tony instead? He's already thirty."

Aunt Maria nodded.

Qin Yi then seemed to realize something. Sure enough, older single men could not escape being pressured into marriage.

"Hey, Tony!"

A loud voice, tinged with excitement and pride, rang out in the courtyard.

After Rhodes excitedly entered the living room, he glanced around and quickly bowed.

"Aunt Maria, I'm here to see Tony."

"Oh, Rhodes. Tony's upstairs. I'll go call him."

"No need, no need, Auntie. I'll go upstairs and find Tony myself."

Qin Yi nodded at Rhodes, though for some reason, he felt that the way Rhodes looked at him was a little strange.

Rhodes passed through several doorways and headed up the stairs to Tony's bedroom. With a sudden charge, he rushed inside.

"Tony, look at this. The youngest Air Force colonel in nearly twenty years."

Tony stared expressionlessly at Rhodes, who was pointing at the colonel's insignia on his chest.

Rhodes shrugged, walked over to Tony, and whispered,

"When I came in just now, I saw your brother sitting alone in front of an entire table of food. There had to be enough for more than ten people. He's only fifteen, right? Won't he get spoiled?"

Tony looked at his close friend Rhodes, who was gesturing wildly, and complained helplessly to himself.

If you had a godlike little brother, your father would probably worship him like an ancestor.

"Oh, right. I'm throwing a party tonight to celebrate. Come with me later."

Tony nodded.

When Tony and Rhodes came downstairs, they saw Qin Yi and Aunt Maria whispering about something.

"Mom, I'm going to Rhodes's celebration party. I won't be back for dinner tonight."

Maria nodded, then suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called out to Tony, who had reached the door.

"Oh, Tony, take Little Qin along to have some fun. You can't keep letting him stay cooped up at home alone."

As she spoke, she frantically winked at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi secretly made an OK gesture.

As the three walked out of the living room, Rhodes walked beside Tony, clearly holding something back based on his expression.

Until Qin Yi had a servant bring the car around from the underground garage,

Rhodes could not hold it in any longer. He tugged at Tony's clothes.

"Your brother is only fifteen, right? Is that appropriate? Tonight, I arranged for..."

Rhodes made an ambiguous gesture with both hands.

"Don't worry. He won't be interested in ordinary women."

They drove to the celebration party for Rhodes's promotion to Air Force colonel.

Rhodes's full name was James Rhodes. He had met Tony at MIT, and the two had become friends. After growing up, he joined the Air Force and had always served as the middleman between Stark Industries and the United States military.

A few days ago, the thirty-two-year-old Rhodes had stumbled into the Skrull invasion incident arranged by Qin Yi. With the Mutants' help, he and Vice President Mr. Husky foiled the Skrulls' plot and saved the president of the United States, earning a smooth promotion to colonel.

Rhodes led Tony over to greet a group of Air Force field-grade officers. Qin Yi found an empty seat and watched quietly as a group of flamboyantly dressed American vixens quickly surrounded Tony and the others.

Qin Yi waved off Tony's invitation and sighed helplessly to himself. They were all flashy types, completely unsuitable to become Tony's wife.

How about kidnapping Pepper Potts tonight and stuffing her into Tony's bed?

Qin Yi rested his chin on one hand, considering the feasibility of the idea.

Rhodes had been promoted to colonel early, so there should be no major problem with Tony and Pepper getting married early too, right?

Maybe little Morgan would be born early as well. There was nothing wrong with him, as her uncle, thinking things through for his niece.

Alright, it was settled. He would make his move after Tony had drunk enough.

Suddenly, Qin Yi's attention was drawn by the appearance of a big bald head.

Charles, whose refined demeanor had returned, walked over and smiled at Qin Yi.

"Hello, Mr. Qin."

"Charles, I didn't expect to run into you here."

Charles was clearly in a very good mood. He handed Qin Yi a glass of wine and spoke leisurely.

"After that day, the peace conference was successfully held, and Mutants can now integrate into human society normally. The president invited us to join the government's super-soldier team, but I refused. Just as you said, we have no intention of participating in Earth's internal conflicts."

Qin Yi nodded, and a voice sounded in Charles's mind.

"I've chosen the Illuminati's base. It'll be right beside your school. I bought the land, and construction will begin in a few days. When you have time, have Magneto help with the construction."

Charles nodded upon hearing this. Looking at Qin Yi's somewhat youthful face, admiration rose naturally in his heart.

Qin Yi lit a cigarette and looked beside Charles, but did not spot that familiar figure.

"By the way, where's Logan?"

Charles said helplessly,

"They don't really like this kind of occasion."

As night fell,

The officers at the celebration party began heading into the hotel in pairs or groups, arms around their female companions. It seemed another passionate, sleepless night lay ahead.

Meanwhile, the two old men, Tony and Rhodes, were each dancing with a female companion. Qin Yi glanced at them. Those two danced worse than Happy.

After checking the time, Qin Yi figured Pepper should still be working overtime at this hour.

Bored, Qin Yi took out his Ikong phone. As he played Tetris, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. How about starting a game company?

Playing Tetris every day was not much of a solution. If he gathered a team and made a Prototype based on what he remembered,

It was feasible! Maybe he could harvest another huge wave of money from American teenagers.

Having made up his mind, Qin Yi looked at the Tetris game on his phone and no longer found it interesting. He put away his phone, tipped his head back, and quietly waited beneath the sky.

Nearby,

The four American vixens had finally gotten Tony and Rhodes drunk. They had divided themselves into pairs and were about to drag the muddled pair off for the next round.

Qin Yi walked over, supported Tony, and took out four sapphires to hand to them.

"You four, make sure Colonel Rhodes is well taken care of tonight."

The two Black and two White American vixens excitedly accepted the sapphires, then dragged Rhodes away and sprinted toward the hotel.

Qin Yi asked the bleary-eyed Tony,

"Tony, do you want a wife?"
