A few days passed in a flash, and New York had felt strangely oppressive lately.
Even the sky looked gloomy, as though a storm were brewing but refused to break.
Li Wei was waiting for the storm too, making frequent trips to the company.
When he had time in the afternoons, he visited May Parker or Maria Hill.
Otherwise, he went shopping with Gwen.
But every time they got halfway through an outing, Gwen ran off...
If he hadn't known she was Ghost-Spider, Li Wei would have thought she was doing it on purpose because she wasn't interested in him.
But there was no helping it. This was what dating a superhero felt like.
If she didn't run off halfway through a date, he might start wondering whether he'd found a fake superhero...
It was like Superman and Lois. If Lois hadn't been so understanding, they probably would have broken up long ago.
Dating a superhero clearly came with plenty of difficulties!
"Obadiah Stane, that coward. I've given him every advantage, and he still won't make a move."
Li Wei grumbled as he sat in his office.
The Red Queen had told him Obadiah Stane was still wavering.
Li Wei needed to give him another push.
Li Wei made the arrangements, and then his phone rang.
It was Gwen calling from outside.
"Boss, Professor Connors wants to see you."
"Send him in."
Li Wei was curious. Professor Connors rarely came to see him of his own accord.
After all, good bosses like Li Wei were hard to find. Aside from putting a little too much pressure on him, Li Wei supported him in every way.
"Li Wei."
"Professor Connors, what can I do for you?"
Li Wei asked curiously.
Professor Connors looked a little embarrassed, but he spoke up anyway.
