"Mom! Did something happen to you?!"
Sharon Carter, who was originally on a mission, hurried back immediately.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw her mom having a warm dinner with two strangers, chatting and laughing...
One of them, a little girl with big sparkling eyes, exaggeratedly praised every dish she ate.
The other, a handsome young man with a refined aura, was so captivating that even she—a top graduate of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy—couldn't look away...
However.
Why does he look so familiar...
"Sharon, you're finally back."
Sharon's mom greeted her with a smile, "Come sit down, let me introduce you to Mr. Ye."
"Mom... Didn't you say something had happened to you?"
Sharon Carter sat beside her mom with a skeptical look, facing Ye Li.
"You weren't lying to me, were you?"
"What are you saying? In front of guests… Would your mom lie to you…!"
Her mom replied unhappily, "I'm not crying wolf. I almost got my neck chopped off by your aunt's old lover's shield and had a heart attack!"
"Aunt's old lover... That's Rogers..."
Sharon paused, her eyes growing slightly wary as she glanced at Ye Li and the girl...
"No need to hide it—Mr. Ye knows Captain Rogers too, and this young girl is a new superhero."
Sharon's mom could tell what her daughter was thinking just from her expression.
"Your mom was saved by these two. Otherwise, you wouldn't be seeing me now."
"I see..."
Sharon Carter's gaze toward Ye Li softened, and she spoke with gratitude.
"Mr. Ye, and this little girl—I truly don't know how to thank you both..."
"I'm Alita." Alita raised her hand and interrupted.
"Thank you, Alita~" Sharon Carter found Alita so adorable that she felt much closer to her.
"Hehe~"
Sharon's mom took the opportunity to introduce her daughter.
"This is Mr. Ye, full name Ye Li. He's a great artist... You're not that young anymore—you know... Mr. Ye said he's interested in you~"
Ye Li started sweating: 'I only agreed to come for dinner... When did I ever say that...'
His purpose in meeting Sharon Carter was purely to improve his strength.
Of course… this female agent was quite pretty too… If anything happened while enhancing his strength… he wouldn't mind...
…..
"Mom, what are you saying..."
Sharon Carter blushed shyly, occasionally sneaking glances at Ye Li...
Clearly, in her heart, she also longed for such an outstanding and handsome man...
However.
The more she looked, the more something stirred... Her mom's mention of his name kept replaying in her mind...
'Ye Li... Ye Li... Ye Li... It's him!'
Sharon Carter stared at Ye Li in surprise, "You're President Ye?!"
"Eh? Sharon, you know Mr. Ye too?"
Sharon's mom had heard Steve refer to Ye Li that way.
"Yes..."
Sharon Carter kept looking at Ye Li, seemingly quite interested in him.
"Mr. Ye is a legendary figure. Both Senior Natasha and Senior Barbara have praised him to me..."
"Oh? Then perfect!"
Sharon's mom happily pulled her daughter and Ye Li together, pushed them into a room, and conveniently closed the door.
"You two have a good talk in private, talk about your hobbies or anything you like!"
This room.
Was Sharon Carter's own room...
"Mom!"
Sharon Carter's embarrassed and anxious voice came from the room.
"I haven't even finished dinner, seriously!"
"No worries! Mom will keep it warm for you!"
Sharon's mom thought for a moment, then called through the door, "Mom's going to visit your aunt tonight—you two can relax!"
"Mom! What nonsense are you saying!"
…..
Sharon's mom chuckled as she looked at the door.
The door wasn't even locked... If her professionally trained daughter truly didn't want to be in there, she could've come out anytime...
But just calling out shyly from inside—clearly she's just being stubborn~
'Sigh... Sharon, Mom is really worried about your love life~'
As someone with experience, Sharon's mom knew you have to act when the time is right.
Before leaving, she glanced at Alita who was still eating earnestly, and reminded her.
"Alita, don't disturb them, okay~"
"Mm-hmm~!"
Alita nodded, "I won't disturb Daddy looking for Mommy."
"Hehe, such a sensible child."
Sharon's mom left contentedly, heading off to visit Peggy Carter.
