Li Wei was about to go invite Gwen.

Just as the result came out, his phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Maria Hill calling.

"Dear Ms. Hill, it's been a long time since we last spoke."

Li Wei chose to answer.

Hearing his playful tone, Maria Hill immediately smiled on the other end of the line.

But she deliberately said coldly, "You're the one who never contacted me. Was I supposed to take the initiative?"

Isn't this you taking the initiative?

Li Wei complained inwardly, then immediately replied, "I've been too busy lately. I was planning to beat that playboy senseless, but who knew he'd run away?"

Maria Hill nearly failed to keep a straight face. She had only contacted Li Wei after seeing Tony Stark run off.

She had been following Li Wei's updates and knew he had been practicing combat very diligently.

Who would have thought Tony Stark would just run away?

It felt like his punch had landed on cotton...

"Do you have time tonight?"

Li Wei asked instead.

The woman had taken the initiative to call him, so naturally he had to give her enough emotional validation. Otherwise, the meat already at his mouth might fly away.

As for Gwen?

He would let her rest for a day. After all, she had not rested well last night.

No need to miss him!

Maria Hill had been waiting for those words. She immediately replied, "Of course. Will you come pick me up later?"

Hearing how quickly she answered, Li Wei smiled.

It seemed she had developed quite a taste for it too.

After settling on a time, Li Wei reminded her, "Remember to bring your uniform, Director Hill."

Hearing Li Wei's words, Maria Hill fell silent at once and quickly hung up. Who knew whether she had taken it to heart.

"If you're not eager to get off work, there's something wrong with your mindset."

Before it was even time, Li Wei set off.

"Gwen, we can go."

"Oh yeah!"

Gwen was also delighted. "May from the homeless shelter called just now and asked when you'd come by to take a look."

"Tomorrow."

Li Wei was naturally in no mood right now.

"Okay."

Gwen nodded and sent a reply, but Li Wei had already disappeared.

She pursed her lips. She had originally wanted to wait for Li Wei to ask her out first.

"Did he run off last time and make the boss unhappy?"

That made Gwen feel anxious and insecure.

As for Li Wei, he had already brought 2B and Eve to the underground parking lot.

Beep beep!

When Li Wei arrived, a bright red Ducati motorcycle honked twice.

Li Wei immediately walked over, pleasantly surprised. "Arcee?"

"Yes, Master."

Arcee answered in a beautiful voice, with a slightly mature, commanding tone.

Li Wei had asked Red Queen to acquire the materials before, then stopped paying attention to it.

Now it seemed that she had already been made.

Arcee slid sideways, and her entire body began to transform.

Her transformation was smoother than Bumblebee's because she was very "petite."

That petite size was only compared to other Transformers, since her vehicle form was also a motorcycle.

So she was shorter than Bumblebee, and her figure was very slender. It was obvious that she was a female robot.

"Tsk."

Li Wei nodded and patted Arcee. "Transform back. I want to ride you."

Arcee was extremely happy. This was an honor.

Eve leaned over from the side as well. "Master, I want to ride too."

"Ahem. You and 2B can ride Bumblebee first."

Li Wei said.

He was going to pick up Maria Hill. Once he took Director Hill on a wild ride, she would surely dare to try any pose.

Only after soothing Eve for quite a while did she nod and accept it.

Li Wei reassured her, "Later, you and 2B can go find something to eat yourselves. You can eat whatever you want."

"Really? Anything we want?"

Eve's eyes lit up.

A metropolis like New York was simply too alluring to her.

She seemed even more human now.

She wanted to try everything, and she dared to try everything too.

"Yeah. Just be careful and don't get scammed."

Li Wei nodded.

Seeing Eve like this, Li Wei felt rather sentimental.

She and 2B each had their own charms. A well-behaved girl like 2B could be very comfortable sometimes, but at other times, she seemed to lack a little fun.

Eve, on the other hand, was like a girlfriend, with ideas and a will of her own.

Mm, she needed coaxing!

Li Wei got onto Arcee and chose to drive himself.

Eve and 2B got into Bumblebee and followed him as protection.

At that moment, Maria Hill sent him an address not far from where he was.

He sped all the way there, and Maria Hill was already waiting outside.

She was very cautious. Rather than waiting outside S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, she had deliberately gone some distance away.

"Darling, get on."

As Li Wei approached, Maria Hill even took a step back.

Only after seeing that Li Wei was on the bike did she walk over carrying a bag.

Her uniform was inside!

She wrapped one arm around Li Wei and sat behind him. "Why did you change vehicles? It's even a classic Ducati."

"I was feeling nostalgic. Does it look good?"

Li Wei asked.

"It looks good."

At a time like this, Maria Hill naturally went along with him.

Then Li Wei started the bike and took Maria Hill for a wild ride first.

As S.H.I.E.L.D.'s deputy director, Maria Hill was naturally not afraid of speeding. While crying out in surprise, she suddenly attacked, "What do you think of Agent Natasha?"

Her relationship with Li Wei was not actually that deep. They only entered each other's bodies, not each other's lives.

Neither of them asked about the other's work.

When she suddenly asked that now, Li Wei nearly failed to react.

Then he answered properly, "She takes her work very seriously. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. She's very beautiful, though."

Maria Hill said deliberately.

Li Wei slowed down and said, "She isn't as beautiful as you, and she doesn't have your flavor either."

"What flavor?"

Maria Hill did not understand.

"Feminine charm."

As Li Wei spoke, he stopped the bike. They had arrived at the restaurant.

He got off and glanced over. Bumblebee was still following steadily. Eve also got out, ready to find something to eat, while 2B remained in the car on guard.

2B wore glasses, and her eyes had not left him for even a moment.

"Why is that car following us?"

Maria Hill was sharp as well, asking in a low voice.

"That's my car."

Li Wei replied.

"You really are cautious."

As she spoke, Maria Hill linked her arm through Li Wei's and entered the restaurant.

She had deliberately changed into a dress before getting off work, making herself more suitable for a date.

After entering the restaurant, Li Wei let Maria Hill order.

Soon, dinner was served one dish after another.

They should have had wine, but seeing that Li Wei was riding himself, she did not order any.

So they enjoyed dinner quickly, and after finishing, they left the restaurant.

"What should we go do?"

Maria Hill asked.

"Time goes by too fast. Let's go to my place."

"So eager?"

"No amount of time with you is enough."

Maria Hill was delighted by his coaxing and directly followed Li Wei home.

Bumblebee was indeed following steadily, while Eve was still holding snacks and savoring them.

When they got home, Maria Hill immediately entered the bathroom.

When she came out, she had become that dashing female director again—uniform, short hair... Li Wei could no longer control himself!
