Captain America's Girlfriend Has a Crush on Me?

After getting a satisfactory answer, Luo Wen did not rush to use it. Instead, he shut down Friday and planned to boot it up once he reached the world of Swallowed Star.

Then he looked outside and realized it was already dark. Hill would be getting off work soon as well.

Luo Wen went to the kitchen and made Braised Fish, along with a stir-fried Broccoli Shrimp dish. Then he sat at the dining table and waited for Hill to get off work.

About ten minutes later, there was a click as the door lock opened.

"Hill, you're back!"

Luo Wen stood up with a smile and greeted Hill.

"I'm back, Luo Wen."

Hill smiled too.

"Go wash your hands and eat. I made your favorite Braised Fish."

"Wow, I can smell it. It smells so good!"

Hill sniffed the air, her smile growing even lovelier. She hurried to the bathroom to wash her hands, then sat down at the dining table.

The siblings chatted and laughed as they quickly wiped out both dishes.

"I'm so full!"

Hill leaned back in her chair, a satisfied expression on her face.

After finishing dinner, Luo Wen did not immediately clear the dishes. He poured himself a glass of water, gathered his thoughts, and said to Hill, "Hill, didn't I tell you before that I developed a special alloy and that it had received Stark's approval?"

"Mm, you did."

Hill replied while rubbing her little belly.

"The outer shell of his Iron Man Armor is now made with my alloy."

"What?"

Hill was stunned.

She knew how much Tony valued the Iron Man Armor, and she also knew how demanding he was when it came to its materials. She had never expected the alloy Luo Wen developed to be so exceptional that even Tony had used it on the Iron Man Armor.

"Luo Wen, is the New Alloy you developed really that impressive?"

Hill's mind was a little muddled.

She had never imagined that her younger brother was so capable, quietly developing an alloy of this caliber without a word.

"It's decent, I suppose. I call it Kroll Alloy, and it has broad prospects for application."

Luo Wen said.

"Then what are you planning to do?"

Hill asked, blinking.

She sensed that Luo Wen seemed to have something he wanted to tell her.

"I plan to start a company called Kroll Industries," Luo Wen said honestly.

"Start a company?" Hill murmured softly. Luo Wen was only sixteen. If he started a company, there would definitely be many things he did not understand...

"So, Hill, I need a CEO..."

Luo Wen looked at Hill with an expectant expression.

Everything he had said was really leading up to this one sentence.

He wanted Hill to become the CEO of Kroll Industries.

Hill looked up and met Luo Wen's eyes, immediately understanding what he meant.

Hill shook her head.

"Luo Wen, I can't quit my job right now."

Hill looked at Luo Wen and explained seriously, "Director Fury has treated us well. If it hadn't been for his help, the two of us would have had a hard time these past few years. We can't just... now that our circumstances have improved..."

Luo Wen fell silent.

A few years ago, the siblings had offended a local thug in New York. When the conflict broke out, Fury happened to pass by and witness it.

Fury admired Hill's combat skills and intelligence. After learning that Hill was an outstanding Harvard student about to graduate, he gave her an opportunity to join S.H.I.E.L.D.

Because of that, the siblings escaped the local thug's retaliation.

Later, as Hill fought her way through S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury had also secretly watched over her, allowing Hill to gain experience quickly while rising through the ranks just as fast.

So Fury truly had shown them kindness.

And as things stood, they had not yet fully repaid that debt of gratitude.

Hill was someone who valued relationships deeply. Before she repaid Fury's kindness, it would be difficult to persuade her to leave S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Alright. Then I'll look for other candidates."

Luo Wen nodded and gave up trying to persuade Hill any further.

In any case, before long, S.H.I.E.L.D. would collapse on its own because of Hydra. By then, Hill would naturally leave.

But then Hill suddenly said, "I do have a pretty good candidate."

Luo Wen was somewhat curious. "Who?"

"Someone from our agency too." Hill smiled.

Luo Wen raised an eyebrow. "From our New York branch?"

Hill leaned closer with a smile. "Yes. Do you know Sharon?"

"I do." Luo Wen nodded.

Sharon was a new employee who had joined the New York branch two months ago.

He had heard that she had not even graduated from college yet and had come to S.H.I.E.L.D. as an intern.

Luo Wen knew her well, because she was the niece of Peggy Carter, Captain America's ex-girlfriend, and Captain America's future girlfriend.

Sharon was stunningly beautiful, with a graceful figure and strong work abilities. Not long after joining the New York branch, she had attracted plenty of admirers. Luo Wen had crossed paths with her a few times as well.

Sharon was Peggy's niece and had been personally taught by Peggy since childhood. She was outstanding in every respect.

Having her become Kroll Industries' CEO was indeed feasible.

But... they were not familiar with each other.

Luo Wen had not even spoken to her.

Would he really just walk up to her and say, "Do you want to leave S.H.I.E.L.D. and become my CEO?"

That would be way too awkward.

"As long as you know her. I think she's a great fit. I've worked with her before—she's very capable and has a good character. She'd be perfect as your CEO."

"But I'm not familiar with her."

Luo Wen rolled his eyes at Hill.

"How are you not familiar? She's very familiar with you!" Hill suddenly said.

"?" Luo Wen's face was full of confusion.

Hill looked at Luo Wen with a beaming smile.

"She even knows your height, weight, personality, hobbies, and even which female celebrities you like. How can you call that unfamiliar?"

"??"

Even more question marks appeared on Luo Wen's face.

"What are you talking about? I've never even spoken to her."

"I'm not talking nonsense. She has a crush on you~" Hill said with a smile.

"Huh?"

Now it was Luo Wen's turn to be dumbfounded.

Sharon Carter had a crush on him?

Where had that come from?

Wasn't she supposed to be Captain America's future girlfriend?

Why did she suddenly like him instead?

But judging by Hill's expression, she did not seem to be joking.

"Is that true? Why does she like me?"

Luo Wen asked Hill in confusion.

"Of course it's true. Why does she like you? Are there that few girls in our agency who like you?"

Hill rolled her eyes at Luo Wen.

She knew perfectly well how popular her younger brother was with girls.

Who knew how many young women had asked her about Luo Wen's preferences?

Sharon was one of them.

"But Sharon..."

Luo Wen still found it hard to believe.

Because according to the plot, Sharon would fall for the thawed-out Captain America before long.

"There are no buts. I said she likes you, so she likes you."

Hill said with certainty.

"Why are you so sure?" Luo Wen asked helplessly.

"Hehe." Hill broke into a smile. "Because I'm the one who told her about your height, weight, hobbies, and all that!"
