He had only recently awakened from his frozen state and didn't know Tony Stark as well as the others.
……
It's getting late,
Suburbs of Boston,
In front of a beautiful private villa, Elena had just gotten out of the car when Xu Wenli, who had been waiting outside, came forward to greet her, her face still showing concern.
"Was the journey alright? Did anything happen?"
As she spoke, she glanced behind Elena again.
"Where's Lei Ming? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Elena held her hand and patted it gently, comforting her:
"He has something to take care of, he'll be back soon."
Besides, he's not an ordinary person anymore, so you don't need to worry so much.
Hearing this, Xu Wenli was relieved and then hurried to prepare dinner for everyone, worried that Lei Ming would be hungry when he returned...
"let me help you."
Seeing this, Elena rolled up her sleeves without even drinking any water and started working alongside Xu Wenli.
Meanwhile, that carefree girl Teresa stayed in her upstairs room playing online games.
He hasn't shown up yet.
Elena leaned against the doorframe outside the kitchen, watching Xu Wenli intently cooking.
I couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.
At first, she was determined to let her know the truth no matter what…
But after hearing Lei Ming's words on the plane, and now seeing Xu Wenli's joy at regaining what she had lost, she gradually suppressed the thought in her heart.
Thinking about it,
Before I knew it, that face reappeared in my mind.
She was startled and quickly shook her head, wondering if she had been secretly bewitched by him using some kind of superpower or magic.
"What are you thinking about?"
A sudden clap of thunder startled her.
"How...how did you get in?!"
Elena turned around and leaned against the wall, looking at Lei Ming, who had appeared behind her like a ghost, with lingering fear.
"What do you think."
He smiled.
Elena then realized that this man could "walk through walls."
Whether the gate is locked or not is irrelevant to him.
Please…
Elena put her hands on her hips, somewhat angrily. "I know you're 'omnipotent,' but can you please stop showing off in front of others all the time?"
Especially here!
This is my home!
"I'll pay attention."
Lei Ming gave a perfunctory reply, then walked past her and went straight to Xu Wenli, who was cooking inside.
Stir-fried eggs with tomatoes and beef with green peppers are both standard Chinese dishes.
They even prepared a lot of Western food, which shows how much care they put into it.
She was taking a moment to taste the chicken soup she was cooking, completely unaware that someone was behind her.
I stood and watched for a while.
Lei Ming didn't disturb her and slowly retreated.
They also pulled Elena into the outer hall.
"What did you do again?"
Elena stood by the window and asked.
I know what you're thinking...
Lei Ming looked into her eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's okay if you don't believe I'm Lei Ming, but at least..."
When I'm with her, I pretend to be my wife.
Is this difficult for you?
Chapter 181 The Blind Cane
"You're back!"
Xu Wenli walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food, interrupting their conversation.
Elena and Lei Ming, as if by unspoken agreement, adopted relaxed expressions, pretending to chat casually with the young couple.
Lei Ming smiled and told her he was safe.
Xu Wenli didn't notice anything unusual and went straight to serving the food.
"Perfect timing, I've finished my work too. Everyone's had a long day."
"Let's eat quickly, I'll go call that little girl."
As she spoke, she went up to the second floor.
A moment later, Theresa came running down the street.
The moment she saw Lei Ming, she rushed over and called out affectionately.
Welcome home, Dad!
Lei Ming smiled 'kindly' and gently patted her head, then glanced subtly at Elena standing beside him, his eyes seeming to say,
'Look, even a little kid is more sensible than you.'
Elena, who had been silent, suddenly smiled.
"Alright, that's enough. We haven't eaten together in a long time, so let's celebrate our 'family' reunion today..."
As she spoke, she gestured for everyone to sit down, and thoughtfully pulled out a chair for Lei Ming and prepared tableware.
Finally, she affectionately hugged his neck, kissed his cheek, and whispered:
"Welcome home, my husband."
Lei Ming responded by taking her hand, their fingers intertwined, their eyes softening.
"Thank you, my wife."
Elena smiled gently.
Then, in a somewhat eerie atmosphere, it was time for dinner.
Theresa kept her head down and focused on eating, occasionally trying to lighten the mood with a few words...
She was so embarrassed by their awkward conversation that she felt like she could dig a house out of her big toe.
Fortunately, Xu Wenli didn't care about any of that.
She has lived in China for many years and is not familiar with the way her son and daughter-in-law get along; she even thought that all foreigners are like that.
Because Theresa grew up in the United States and couldn't speak or understand a word of Chinese, she spent the entire time asking questions in English.
Lei Ming noticed Xu Wenli's somewhat bewildered look, so he tapped the table with his finger, interrupting Theresa.
"Stop."
Theresa abruptly stopped.
Lei Ming continued, "From now on, whenever we're at home, we should communicate in Mandarin."
do you understand? "
"Huh?" Theresa was taken aback. "But I don't know how!"
"Then go and learn."
Lei Ming stared into her eyes, the corners of his mouth gradually turning upwards.
"You're very smart, I believe you'll learn it quickly."
After a while, Theresa pouted and nodded.
"I see…"
