During the meal, Shi Xiaolei asked a few indirect questions.

Talking and laughing, I found that Pepper didn't seem to object. For the matter of 'Stark intends to travel far away', he even expressed positive support to a certain extent.

This made Shi Xiaolei a little puzzled.

Could it be that Stark's excuse of 'go to Svartefheim and take a look at the fiefdom she will inherit in the future for little Morgan' overwhelmed Pepper's worries, and that's why she has such an attitude now what?

"Of course, that's a huge fief." First, with a mischievous smile in his eyes, he glanced at Stark, and Pepper continued, "Well, it's mainly because this guy is so annoying. Can you imagine? Such a big man, pestering you every day, like an ignorant child, asking you to promise him something... To be honest, I am almost annoyed by him these days. Even little Morgan, who wakes up in the middle of the night crying to be fed, is not as annoying as him."

There was a lot of complaints in his tone, and a very obvious protest in his expression.

It was rare to see Pepper so impatient, because of her words and expression, Shi Xiaolei and several others couldn't help laughing.

Look at Stark again...

Before Shi Xiaolei could open his mouth to tease, Stark took the lead: "I thought about it carefully, and I still think it's better to tell the truth. Although the process was quite difficult, as you can see, I finally achieved my goal. "

"It's just a pain for Pepper, isn't it?" Shi Xiaolei shrugged: "It's just Pepper, and someone else has been replaced, haha. Dude, finding a partner like Pepper is worth it all your life."

"I think so too." Stark smiled: "It would be great if the number of times I was scolded was less."

"Then you should do less things that will dissatisfy me, and be more obedient."

"I think I'm pretty obedient." Glancing at Little Morgan who was being held in 2b's arms, Stark winked mischievously at Pepper: "At least he's more obedient than Little Morgan, isn't he?"

"Compared to a child who can't speak, you are really picky." Pepper rolled his eyes angrily.

"Besides you, she and I are the only ones left in the family. It's not that I will pick, it's because she is the only opponent." Stark not only didn't feel ashamed, but on the contrary gave plausible reasoning.

"I really convinced you."

Talking and laughing while having breakfast. The atmosphere is very peaceful, and a meal is also delicious.

After almost half an hour, everyone was full.

As a student, Kang Na carried her small schoolbag and went out as vigorously as before.

The maids also started to get busy.

But Shi Xiaolei and others came to the courtyard outside.

"Man, where is your luggage? Let Jarvis deliver it." He took out his phone and checked the time. It was less than half an hour before the scheduled departure time.

"Okay." Taking out a Bluetooth headset from his pocket and stuffing it into his ears, Stark gave a brief instruction, and then looked back at Shi Xiaolei: "Just the two of us? Is there anyone else?"

"There are also Sister Hua and Sylvia." Shi Xiaolei replied naturally: "Of course, Jane must be brought along, after all, she is the 'key person' of this trip."

Hearing this, Stark didn't have any thoughts, but falling into Pepper's ears made her feel much more at ease.

Although Stark has been promised to give him the opportunity to participate in this trip, it is only because she loves Stark deeply and does not want to embarrass or regret him. After all, as Stark's other half, she still has some concerns about this alien trip in her heart.

After all, it is the depths of the universe far away from the earth, and no one knows if there will be any unexpected situations on the way.

What's more, she is so close to Shi Xiaolei's family. From the mouths of several close friends, she has already heard about some things related to interstellar pirates, including Shi Xiaolei and others encountered a battle on Xandar. The news also reached her ears.

From Pepper's point of view, it's impossible to really feel relieved. And how worried she was about this trip depended largely on Shi Xiaolei's attitude.

If Shi Xiaolei had prepared very meticulously before departure and planned to bring a large number of people, then Pepper would definitely be very disturbed.

the reason is simple.

If the destination is safe enough, there is no need to make so many preparations, and there is no need to bring a large number of bodyguards with you. Conversely, if you are going to a war-prone place to do business, the preparations before departure will definitely be more detailed, and the accompanying security personnel will also bring more.

And like now...

Because of Shi Xiaolei's very casual and leisurely demeanor, Pepper felt a lot more relaxed. Most of the worries that had been lingering in her heart disappeared invisibly~lightnovelpub.net~ And as her mood changed, the expression and tone of her farewell to Stark also became less nervous and seemed natural too much.

Without disturbing the family of three, Shi Xiaolei took the time to ask Cinderella who was by his side.

When Bianhua, 2b, and Jane Foster, who had been recuperating in the seaside hut for the past few days, arrived, he stepped forward and patted Stark on the shoulder: "Man, everyone is here. It's time for us to set off .”

"Well." Nodding, Stark opened his arms and hugged Pepper, and kissed her and Little Morgan's faces respectively: "Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days. If you miss me, Call anytime."

Of course, the existing means of communication on Earth cannot reach Stark in deep space.

The 'calling' that Stark said actually refers to using the communicator Shi Xiaolei gave to communicate with each other. He bought that thing wholesale from Xandar. Although it can't be used for entertainment like a mobile phone, it is far more useful than a mobile phone when only comparing the performance of communication.

Worried that Pepper, who stayed at home, would fall into anxiety because he could not be contacted for a long time, and Stark was a new father, and he couldn't accept that he could not see his daughter or hear her voice for a long time...

Even if Shi Xiaolei left a communicator for the family, Pepper could come here to borrow it, but Stark still had to ask for one from him and hand it to Pepper.

"I know. Don't worry at home, just be careful yourself."

"I will. With Locke by my side, there will be no danger." Stark patted the back of Pepper's hand and smiled softly: "Okay, I should go. You stay at ease and wait for me Come back...well, I mean, you can look forward to it a little bit, and I'll bring you and little Morgan a present."

"Um."
