American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 62 This is what you call professional.

"How's the emotional build-up going?" Xiao Xian asked, looking at Mary Jane with her eyes closed. "If it's not working, let Emma help you. She can manipulate people's emotions."

"No need, I'm a professional actress." Standing outside the box, Mary Jane opened her eyes, took a deep breath to compose herself, and said, "I'm ready."

"OK, 3, 2, 1, action!"

After counting down a few numbers, Xiao Xian snapped his fingers. Upon hearing this, Mary Jane immediately pushed open the door, covered her mouth upon seeing the scene inside, and tears streamed down her face.

Mary Jane saw Harry lying naked on the bed with several girls. Pointing at Harry, her crystal-clear eyes were now filled with disappointment and pain, and her voice trembled as she spoke.

"You actually... I trusted you so much!"

"Let me explain! Mary Jane! I drank too much last night!" The door to the private room suddenly opened. Harry was about to yell, but when he saw who it was, he panicked and hurriedly got up, pulling on his pants as he spoke.

"As expected of a professional actress, her acting skills are quite impressive." Xiao Xian commented as he watched Mary Jane's eyes fill with tears. Thanks to the White Queen's telepathic abilities, the people in the room would subconsciously ignore the two of them, so there was no problem for the two of them to communicate directly.

"Do you know what she's thinking right now?" The White Queen rolled her eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Xian asked.

"She's imagining the scenario of you cheating on her after you get married."

"Oh, this... how could she think of me like that?" Xiao Xian said, displeased. How could he possibly be that kind of person? "How could I possibly get married?"

"You've disappointed me so much! I even wanted to marry you! Go back to them!" Mary Jane threw the limited edition bag Harry had bought for her at Harry, then ran out crying.

"Don't go, Jane!" Harry said, pulling up his pants, and got up to chase after her.

"Never mind her, come with us!" At this moment, a girl grabbed Harry and persuaded him, "You can be with as many as you want."

"Remember to downplay their importance in Harry's heart, his love and guilt towards Mary Jane," Xiao Xian reminded him.

"Of course, don't worry," the White Queen nodded, glancing at Xiao Xian as she spoke, intending to subtly intensify his affection for her, only to be surprised to find that she hadn't done so at all.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xian asked, noticing the white empress looking at him with a disappointed expression.

"It's nothing, you have no interest in me at all?" The White Queen asked somewhat insecurely. Originally, she was very confident in her figure and looks, but in front of Xiao Xian, she suddenly felt a little insecure.

"You?" Xiao Xian glanced at the meticulously dressed White Queen. Her skin was as white as snow, her legs were long and thick, and her white boots and socks added to her charm. He gave her a thumbs up and said, "Very nice. If I didn't have mind-reading abilities, I would like to have a friendly match with you right now."

"Then why don't you love me at all?" the White Queen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Who says beauty has to be loved? That's lust, not love." Xiao Xian shrugged. "Appearance is just a means of attracting people. Good personality, shared experiences, and mutual support are what create love."

"I see." Upon hearing this, the White Queen understood. She knew that Xiao Xian was not lying; he really thought so.

"Besides, these days, in this place, only naive young people pursue love," Xiao Xian continued. "I'm not interested in that stuff. You can covet my body, or my money, but if you covet my heart, then you're going too far."

"..." How scummy, but so handsome. Even the way he says these things is so charming," the White Queen thought, looking at Xiao Xian who was staring at her warily.

"Get away!" Shaking off the woman who was holding him, Harry ran out without even bothering to put on his clothes, wearing only his pants and shirtless.

Watching Mary Jane run away, tears streaming down her face, Harry felt as if his heart had been ripped apart. He hurriedly chased after her, knowing he had made an irreversible mistake, but he didn't want to lose this precious love.

"Mary, I was wrong." Harry's voice trembled slightly, his heart pounding wildly. He looked at Mary Jane's red, tear-filled eyes and said with remorse.

"I know I've let you down, but I'm truly sorry. Please forgive me. I promise this won't happen again. I was just drunk yesterday... Hit me! Hit me! It's all my fault."

As Harry was saying this, he tried to grab Mary Jane's hand to hit himself, but Mary Jane pulled her hand back.

"You bastard! But I can't bear to hit you~" Mary Jane said, tears streaming down her face, which broke Harry's heart.

At this moment, Harry's tears began to fall silently. He felt his heart struck by Mary Jane's words and tears. He understood that no matter how much he repented, he could not undo his past mistakes. He had actually let down a girl who loved him so much. But perhaps he could choose how to treat this relationship in the future.

"Mary, I will do everything in my power to make up for my mistake," Harry said softly, his voice filled with determination. "I will show you how much I love you, and I will prove my sincerity with my actions."

Mary Jane looked up, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "Are you really sure you can?" she asked.

"I swear," Harry replied solemnly, "I will make you feel my love and trust again."

"Words are no proof, what do you plan to do?" Mary Jane asked, wiping away her tears.

"It will affect him, it will affect him." Xiao Xian quickly reminded Empress Bai, "The family foundation, and the prenuptial agreement."

"I'm working on a family foundation. Okay, now that we've expanded on this topic, next up is the prenuptial agreement. Hmm? It seems he never intended to sign one?" the White Queen said, quite shocked.

"Huh?!" Xiao Xian was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this. He really was the landlord's stupid son.

"I want to add you to the list of beneficiaries of the Osborne Family Foundation. To make you a true part of the Osborne family."

After a brief moment of thought, Harry looked at Mary Jane and gritted his teeth, saying, "And I promise I'll put aside those immature forms of entertainment and focus more of my time and energy on our relationship."

"I understand that you want to have fun, and as the successor of the Osborne Group, you have to socialize and entertain, which is hard to avoid, and I understand that too."

Fearing that Harry would be constantly hovering around her, Mary Jane quickly said...

"You just need to promise not to mess around or cheat on me again."

"Of course, don't worry, I'll behave myself from now on and I definitely won't cheat on you again. None of those other women can compare to you."

Harry was deeply moved that Mary Jane would allow him to continue his entertainment. He had been determined to give it up, but things had taken a turn for the better! What an understanding wife she was!

"That's hard to say. Didn't you just sleep with a few women outside?" Mary Jane rolled her eyes and pretended to be angry.

"I was just drunk and acted impulsively. Don't worry, I promise this will never happen again!" Harry quickly assured him.

"Hmph! No, I'm still furious. I can't get over your infidelity." Mary Jane snorted. "Besides what you promised, I also need to punish you to vent my anger."

"Darling, you can punish me however you want, how about you slap me a few times, I promise I won't fight back!" Harry coaxed. Sweet words don't cost money, and even if they did, Harry had plenty of money.

"No, I can't bear to hit you. I have to punish you in another way." Mary Jane pretended to think. "What was that employee you hated so much the other day, the one you said you had to fire after taking office called? What was his name again?"
