I Said I'd Wear It for You

We were all people cursed by knowledge!

That statement nearly fried Tony's brain.

He admitted that he was a genius, but he didn't think Ke Chen was one.

This guy really was his kind—way too narcissistic!

Tony suppressed the urge to snap back at Ke Chen and said, "Since we're both geniuses, do you have any suggestions for Stark Industries?"

"Suggestions? No, I don't."

Ke Chen immediately shook his head. "This is your company. Do whatever you want with it. I'll always support you, Tony."

All his money came from Stark Industries, and he didn't even know how to make money himself. What advice could he possibly give?

Besides, even if he really had a suggestion, Tony Stark wouldn't listen.

It was just polite small talk.

"That's good."

Tony revealed a sincere smile at that.

What he feared most was Ke Chen causing trouble. That would make things difficult for him, too.

Now there was nothing to worry about.

So he immediately smiled and said, "I have some things to take care of. Enjoy yourself."

Ke Chen didn't mind Tony being so blunt, because he also felt there was nothing worth talking about with a man like Tony.

He stood up and left the private meeting room.

Outside, several young models were already waiting to go in and have fun with Tony.

Ke Chen couldn't help sighing. Rich people really did know how to have a wild time.

But he had no interest in these commonplace beauties. Without some special identity bonus, they had a hard time stirring any feelings in him.

When he returned to the party, there were too many people, and Ke Chen couldn't find Elektra right away.

Instead, he spotted Pepper Potts, who had changed into another evening gown.

Pepper was wearing a purple gown with the same plunging neckline, making it clear that she was very well developed.

More importantly, she was tall. With her high heels, she was probably over six feet, and her figure was flawless.

Ke Chen immediately took a glass of champagne from a waiter and walked over.

Pepper had just sent away someone who had tried to chat her up. She hadn't thought much of him, so she naturally had no interest in talking further.

"You really do look beautiful in an evening gown, Pepper."

Just then, Ke Chen's voice rang out, and Pepper turned around in pleasant surprise.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Ke Chen."

She had a favorable impression of Ke Chen.

It couldn't be helped. Ke Chen was just so approachable for someone so ridiculously wealthy.

A man with money meant a successful man. How could women not like successful people?

Ke Chen glanced at her cleavage, and his smile widened.

Since both of them were interested, they quickly fell into a lively conversation.

Pepper and Tony had no relationship yet, so this didn't count as stealing someone else's girl.

"Are you done talking with Mr. Stark?"

Pepper took a sip of wine and asked.

"Yeah. Tony couldn't wait to go have some fun."

Ke Chen swirled the wineglass in his hand as he spoke.

Pepper immediately smiled.

She knew exactly how much Tony liked to play around, but it had nothing to do with her. She was only his secretary.

"Isn't Mr. Ke Chen going to have fun too?"

"It's only fun if you find the right person. That's why I don't really like parties. It's hard for me to find someone suitable."

Ke Chen directly hinted at Pepper.

Pepper's smile grew even brighter. By then, many people had started dancing.

The lights at the party flickered between bright and dim, and Ke Chen pulled Pepper into a dance.

As they danced, the two gradually moved closer together.

With an arm around Pepper's slender waist, he asked, "Pepper, would you be willing to be my personal secretary?"

Pepper was tempted when she heard that.

But after giving it some thought, she still declined.

She was somewhat ambitious. Being a personal secretary would certainly make it easier to rise through the ranks, but she wanted to achieve something.

Stark Industries gave her more room to show what she could do.

"Mr. Stark has treated me well. I don't want to leave Stark Industries."

That was why Pepper said so.

Ke Chen felt a little regretful.

But he quickly stopped dwelling on it. At least Pepper hadn't rejected him in other respects.

However, after the dance, just as they were about to do something to further heat things up, Elektra arrived.

"I've been looking for you everywhere. So you were dancing."

Elektra raised an eyebrow as she looked at Pepper.

She didn't want an outsider ruining what was supposed to be her night.

Pepper was perceptive enough to immediately find an excuse and leave.

Of course, she had high standards too. Aside from Ke Chen, no one else at the party interested her.

Only Ke Chen had been someone Tony Stark personally asked her to invite. That alone spoke volumes about his status.

Pepper declined the invitations of the others and left the party directly.

Since she had no chance this time, she would wait for the next.

She had only graduated not long ago and was still at an age when she liked to have fun.

To keep Ke Chen from being tempted by those flashy women, Elektra pulled him away as well, without staying at the party any longer.

As they were leaving, Ke Chen saw a bald man who had just arrived at the party.

That was the hairstyle of a powerhouse. Anyone who wasn't truly formidable couldn't pull it off.

The bald man had the face of a villain, yet he smiled when he saw Ke Chen.

Ke Chen returned the gesture with a fake smile.

He knew who this man was. He was famous, the second-in-command at Stark Industries.

He had been Howard Stark's partner back in the day.

Obadiah.

The two had no further interaction. They nodded at each other and passed by.

"Going home?"

Ke Chen asked.

"Why would we go home?"

Elektra immediately said, "You're mine tonight."

With that, she got into the driver's seat. Ke Chen could only get into the passenger seat and obediently fasten his seat belt.

"Didn't your instructor tell you that you can't drive in high heels?"

Ke Chen asked.

"Don't worry. I'm very skilled."

Elektra told him not to worry and slammed down on the accelerator.

After all, women like these "Superwomen" could fly through the air and move across rooftops in high heels. Driving was child's play.

As though they couldn't pull off parkour without high heels—it really was strange.

But Ke Chen had to admit that it looked beautiful.

As expected, Elektra did not take him home. There was no way she would return Ke Chen to Lorna tonight.

That wasn't her style.

They arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan, one of New York's top five-star hotels, located between Central Park and Madison Avenue.

Elektra directly booked a room and led Ke Chen straight there.

She also carried a small bag in her hand, though he had no idea what was inside.

The room was large and even had floor-to-ceiling windows...

The moment he saw them, Ke Chen thought of what they could be used for.

This was also when the convenience of an evening gown showed itself—you just had to pull the straps aside.

But Elektra darted straight into the bathroom.

When she came out again, she was already wearing a black ninja outfit.

It was very similar to the red one, but the details were slightly different, and it had a leather-like texture, like that of a prosecutor.

Ke Chen swallowed.

Seeing his expression, Elektra walked over with a smile on her lips, striding like a model.

"I said I'd wear this for you."

Everything fell into place naturally...
