Tony slowly closed his eyes, and everything around him seemed to quiet down.
His thoughts surged like Water, and he began to review his life.
In his youth, Tony was like a brilliant star, quickly rising to prominence with his extraordinary talent and skill.
His name was spread throughout academia and the World of innovative inventions, and people were filled with admiration and expectation for this young genius.
However, as time passed, Tony, upon reaching adulthood, gradually fell into a whirlpool of rebellion and depravity.
The once high-spirited young man with dreams now became unrestrained and lost himself.
He strayed from the right path, pursuing momentary thrills and vanity, squandering his talents on trivial matters.
Now, as his life came to an end, Tony's heart was filled with regret and helplessness.
He thought of the words he had never spoken, the emotions deeply hidden in his heart.
He thought of the things he had always yearned to try and achieve, but due to timidity and hesitation, he had never acted upon them.
"What a boring life!"
"The words I wanted to say, I had no chance to say, and the things I wanted to do, I had no courage to do.
What a pity..."
Tony wished time could flow backward to make up for everything.
"Is this your life flashing before your eyes, Tony?"
A voice full of laughter rang out.
Tony suddenly opened his eyes, and a figure in golden armor appeared beside him.
"Qinuo!!!"
Boom—
A giant Fireball appeared in the sky, its light dazzling, instantly illuminating the entire dark night sky as bright as day.
"No! Tony!"
Pepper knelt on the ground, tears streaming from her eyes.
"Pepper, are you crying for your boss?" A voice, like a hallucination, came, and Pepper suddenly lifted her tear-filled eyes, looking incredulously at Tony, who was somewhat disheveled in front of her.
She stood up and stumbled towards him, and Tony also opened his arms, ready to embrace her.
"Going to give me a reunion kiss..." Tony said with a playful grin.
"Pa!"
A crisp slap sounded, and Tony felt his face twist, almost falling.
A burning sensation instantly came; that slap hurt!
But in the next second.
Tear-stained red lips pressed against his.
Tony's pupils contracted, and he thought to himself, 'Can she slap me a few more times?'
It was a while before they separated, and the surrounding employees also came over, looking at the scene nervously.
"I like you, Tony Stark, what's your answer?"
Pepper stared at Tony, her fierce gaze seeming to say, 'Dare to refuse, and prepare to be slapped again.'
Tony opened his mouth, wanting very much to agree, but...
"Don't regret it again, Tony."
Qinuo's voice rang in his ear.
Tony took a deep breath and stepped back two paces.
Pepper's eyes darkened, then became resolute.
She thought to herself, 'I won't give up.'
However, in the next moment, Tony knelt on one knee, holding a small box in his hand and opening it to reveal a dazzling gem ring inside.
"This is my answer, marry me, Pepper!" Tony said affectionately, his gaze full of expectation and love.
Pepper covered her mouth in disbelief, tears filling her eyes again.
She had fantasized about such a scene countless times but never expected it to come so suddenly.
At the same time, centered on Tony and Pepper, glowing mycelium began to spread, and roses of various colors grew out of the mycelium, instantly forming a splendid sea of flowers.
The fragrant scent of flowers permeated the air, making people feel as if they were in a dream.
It was simply the best proposal scene!
Natasha, hiding behind, couldn't help but reveal a look of longing; no woman dislikes such a scene.
Pamela slowly withdrew her hand, her eyes full of envy as she looked at Tony and Pepper, a quiet longing emerging in her heart; she also yearned for such a romantic moment and wanted to get married.
"Don't rush, I haven't found a proposal gift yet; our proposal will be held in front of the entire World." Qinuo said gently.
"Mm, I believe you, dear." Pamela directly hugged Qinuo and kissed him.
Damian's expression next to them was somewhat complex, and he muttered to himself, 'How many times have they kissed today? Aren't they tired?'
"I do."
Pepper's voice trembled slightly, filled with joy and excitement.
She extended her slender hand, and Tony carefully placed the ring on her ring finger.
The two then embraced and kissed, deeply and passionately.
The people around them were also infected by this happy atmosphere, and enthusiastic cheers and applause rang out.
"All employees present will have their salaries increased by fifty percent."
As soon as this was said, everyone's faces beamed with sincere smiles, offering their best wishes to the new couple.
Tony led Pepper to Qinuo, his face full of gratitude and joy.
"Qinuo, this is the third time you've saved me; I really don't know how to thank you." Tony said sincerely.
"You're welcome; after all, I also watched a moving drama tonight."
Qinuo said with a playful smile, his gaze shifting between Tony and Pepper.
Pepper awkwardly wiped her eyes, her cheeks flushed, and she softly said, "You're making fun of me."
But she held Tony's hand tightly, a happy smile always on her face.
Pepper looked at Damian and smiled, saying, "Is this your child?"
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Damian Wayne." Damian replied politely.
Qinuo shook his head and explained, "This is a friend's child; I am her godfather now."
"Godfather." Pepper repeated the word softly.
Tony and Pepper exchanged glances, confirming their thoughts from each other's eyes.
"In the future, please be the godfather of our children too." Tony said seriously.
"Are you serious? Do you take me for a kindergarten principal?" Qinuo said with a helpless expression, unable to resist complaining.
Tony raised an eyebrow, a smile on his lips, and said with his characteristic cynicism:
"Hey, buddy, don't be so reluctant; being the godfather of my child is your honor! Besides, with your abilities, taking care of a few children is just a piece of cake, isn't it?"
Qinuo looked at Tony's confident appearance and smiled helplessly.
"Alright, since you both trust me so much, I'll reluctantly agree.
However, you two need to work hard on making babies soon."
Pepper's face turned even redder, and she gently pushed Tony.
Tony, meanwhile, burst into laughter.
"Don't worry, we'll work hard."
"Qinuo, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't been able to find your Shadow, and your phone shows out of service." Tony asked with a puzzled expression.
"Preparing to open a company, in preparation for my Hell Transformation Project."
"Hell Transformation Project, what is Hell like? Can you show me?"
"Alright."
As soon as Qinuo agreed, his wrist glowed, and before he could react, a crimson passage suddenly appeared, and a crimson hand abruptly grabbed his wrist.
