Chapter 48 - 48

Su Yi only left after having breakfast at Betty's house, and it can only be said that Betty's vocal cords were in excellent condition and did not become hoarse.

Finally, it was the weekend, a time for rest.

Su Yi still had a new task today.

He first went to Tony's Villa to ask the toolman Tony for help in developing security equipment.

After a brief exchange with Pepper, he was chased away by the strong-willed Pepper.

Su Yi only sighed, lamenting that he hadn't found an opportunity.

"Su, I have to go. I still need to fly abroad."

Su Yi was a bit helpless, "Another business trip?"

"You know, Stark Industries' business spans the globe."

Saying it spans the globe was a bit of an exaggeration, but they did have a lot of collaborations with Europe.

Su Yi suddenly had an idea, "You should be relatively free on the plane, right?"

Pepper paused, "What?"

Su Yi could only whisper his plan into Pepper's ear, and Pepper immediately rejected it.

"Su, I still have a lot of documents to read."

Pepper proactively offered a kiss as an apology.

After all, they had been in a relationship for so long, and yet they hadn't completed the final step, which was simply miraculous.

"In about another week, I should be free."

Su Yi finally cheered up a bit, "That's great, otherwise, I would have to plan a kidnapping of Stark Industries' current CEO."

Pepper knew Su Yi was just joking, "Su, it's best not to do that."

"Of course, but I truly think a romantic dinner on a plane would be a magical experience."

"I'd like to try it too, but I really have to go."

Pepper was off to work again, so Su Yi could only find something to do himself.

Actually, Su Yi did have something to do, and he had already started preparing for it.

In the evening, Su Yi began his plan.

Driving a low-key luxury car, he arrived in the Manhattan area.

Su Yi stopped in front of a gallery.

Vanessa Gallery!

Su Yi had only recently learned that Kingpin was still single.

So, Su Yi found Vanessa's information online.

Just looking at her photos and information, Vanessa was a very elegant beauty.

Su Yi came to the gallery today, ready to approach Vanessa, and even begin his plan to intercept her.

"Kingpin, Kingpin, it seems your bald head is about to turn green."

Thinking this, Su Yi walked into the gallery with a confident smile.

Inside the gallery, there were many paintings.

Su Yi admired them one by one; the quality was indeed good.

Su Yi himself certainly had no appreciation ability, but having merged with his grandfather's template, he had improved slightly in the field of art.

Su Yi stopped in front of a painting, looking at it with immense surprise.

"This painting is still here? Has Kingpin not been to this gallery yet?"

Su Yi remembered that in the series, Kingpin and Vanessa had formed an ill-fated relationship because of this painting.

"This gallery's exhibition started a few days ago, and Kingpin seems to have been a bit busy these past few days."

"So, me having Peter and Gwen fight Bandits indirectly created an opportunity for me to steal his home?"

It could only be said to be a coincidence.

Su Yi was deep in thought in front of this painting when Vanessa, passing by, noticed him.

Vanessa noticed that this young man from the East was very handsome.

He clearly wasn't melancholic, yet he seemed to have a special fondness for this painting.

This painting was a true reflection of her inner self: loneliness.

"What do you see in this painting?"

Su Yi snapped back to reality, turning his head slightly to see a beautiful woman.

Su Yi had seen Vanessa's photos, but seeing her Zhenren (Immortal) was still somewhat stunning.

Gwen, Betty, and Mary Jane were all beautiful, but they had a stronger youthful aura.

Pepper was also very beautiful; she looked very elegant in her work clothes.

Wearing an evening gown, she was dazzling.

The Vanessa in front of him had short hair, wore a White ladies' shirt, and a White skirt that didn't reach her knees.

It was originally just an ordinary outfit, but under Vanessa's own temperament, it was very charming.

With just one glance, Su Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "She's indeed beautiful, even more so than the actress in the series."

Su Yi turned back to the painting and gave his answer, "Loneliness."

Vanessa continued to ask, "You look very young and very charming. To me, you don't seem like the type of person who would like this painting."

"You guessed correctly, I don't actually like this painting. However, as I looked around, only this painting showed me a person's inner world."

"It makes me want to understand more, to do something."

Su Yi spoke to Vanessa's heart, which also made Vanessa change her perception of Su Yi.

In Vanessa's eyes, Su Yi possessed a certain quality that was attracting her.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to warm your lonely heart with mine, Ms. Vanessa."

Facing Su Yi's proactive approach, Vanessa did not panic; instead, she was very calm.

As a painter, Vanessa was exceptionally beautiful and had many admirers.

However, Su Yi in front of her sparked more interest.

"So, specifically, how would you do that?"

"It's very simple, and quite cliché. I think, perhaps a date, or perhaps sharing dinner together."

"It is a bit cliché, but it's also a very effective method."

Su Yi didn't expect Vanessa to actually agree.

But it was normal; this was the West.

If they clicked, a day was enough to do many things.

Presumably, Vanessa was interested in him; otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have agreed so easily.

"We've talked for so long without an introduction. My name is Su Yi, you can also call me Su."

"Su."

"Ms. Vanessa, do you happen to have time now?"

"You mean, for me to leave the gallery now and go on a date with you?"

"Why not? The gallery is here, and you won't become happier by staying here. Rather than that, why not do something meaningful?"

Vanessa hesitated slightly; Su Yi had a point.

After all, most people, to Vanessa, were just ordinary people.

They were here to look at and buy paintings.

The staff could handle these people.

But finding someone interesting was a rare opportunity.

"Then let's go."

"Wait, I want to buy this painting."

"You want to buy this painting?"

"I have an idea. I think, when Ms. Vanessa is no longer lonely, she will add something to this painting."

Vanessa also carefully looked at the painting, and after a while, she said blankly, "I can't think of anything."

"So, I plan to buy it and consider it slowly."

Vanessa didn't refuse and called over a staff member.

"Take this painting down, package it up. I want to give it to Mr. Su."

Su Yi was a bit surprised, "To me?"

"I'm also very much looking forward to what good suggestions Mr. Su will offer."

"Then I'll have to think carefully."

Su Yi acquired the painting and invited the beauty, so he was in a very good mood.

Only, Kingpin didn't know that his bald head was about to be dyed green.
