American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 282 Abin, you have to work harder

Bruce had been eavesdropping for more than half an hour, pressing against the kitchen door, capturing every subtle sound. His face remained calm, but his heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation.

In the kitchen, Selina's words became bolder and bolder: "Abin, don't you think it's a long night? We should do what we should do."

However, Xiao Xian's voice remained calm, as if he remembered Bruce's teachings and would not even hold Selina's hand without his permission. He whispered:

"Mrs. Wayne, we can't do anything to let Mr. Wayne down. You should respect yourself."

Selina was obviously stunned for a moment, her voice full of dissatisfaction and confusion: "Are you really not moved at all? We were clearly in the afternoon..."

Xiao Xianze replied firmly: "Selina, I understand how you feel, but we can't cross the line. This is not only unfair to Mr. Wayne, but also bad for ourselves."

Bruce, who was outside the door, frowned when he heard this, and wanted to rush in and slap Xiao Xian. His heart was filled with anger and disappointment. He had been hoping to hear a hearty card game, but Xiao Xian's attitude disappointed him greatly.

Bruce cursed in his heart: "Is this Abin a blockhead? So rigid!"

Bruce clenched his fists, wanting to push the door open directly, but reason made him suppress his impulse.

In the kitchen, Selina tried to make one last effort. She leaned closer and whispered, "Abin, is there really no way?"

Xiao Xian remained calm, gently held her hand, and said softly: "Selina, you are a smart woman, we should know our limits. Please believe me, this is good for all of us."

Bruce, who was outside the door, almost gnashed his teeth. He took a deep breath and muttered to himself in a low voice, "Damn Abin, you are so stubborn. Just agree to Selina!"

Bruce was furious, and his plan was disrupted step by step, which made him feel extremely frustrated and angry. He decided to wait for a while. If there was no progress, he would have to take other measures.

At this time, Selina in the kitchen seemed to have given up. She sighed helplessly, took a step back, and forced a smile: "Okay, Xiao Xian, maybe you are right."

Bruce finally couldn't stand it anymore, his anger had reached its limit. He took out his cell phone and quickly dialed Harley's number. His voice was low but with a hint of urgency: "Eucliwood, come to the kitchen right now, I need your help."

A few minutes later, Harley arrived at the kitchen door. Bruce lowered his voice and said to her, "Go in and find Selina. Tell her that a new batch of jewelry has arrived. Let her go and see which one she likes."

Harley nodded, opened the kitchen door and walked in. She saw Selina and Xiao Xian busying themselves, and said with a smile, "Mr. Wayne, a batch of jewelry has just arrived. Would you like to come over and take a look and see which one you like?"

When Selina saw Harley come in, she looked at Xiao Xian meaningfully, then nodded and said to Xiao Xian, "I'll go take a look first and be back soon." After that, she followed Harley out of the kitchen.

Bruce, who was hiding in the dark, rushed into the kitchen quickly after seeing Selina leave, his eyes flashing with anger. He grabbed Xiao Xian by the collar and angrily asked, "Abin, why did you reject Selina's kindness?"

Xiao Xian looked innocent and answered calmly, "Mr. Bruce, you said not long ago that I can't even hold your wife Selina's hand without your permission. I strictly follow your request." Bruce was so angry that his face turned red and his breathing was rapid. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't mean to be one-size-fits-all! You should have some judgment on when you can and can't! I asked Selina to bring you to the kitchen, don't you understand?"

Xiao Xian was stunned for a moment, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "When is it possible, and when is it not possible?"

Bruce was so angry at Xiao Xian's words that his head hurt. He let go of Xiao Xian's collar and took several steps back. Bruce rubbed his temples hard and cursed: "You idiot! As long as I don't allow it, it's allowed!"

Xiao Xian then asked: "What do you not allow?"

"F**k!" Bruce was so angry this time that he grabbed his hair and cursed. He decided to give up worrying about these details. He looked at Xiao Xian and said helplessly: "Forget it. Anyway, when it's not possible, I will tell you clearly. At other times, it's possible."

Xiao Xian nodded this time, and said with a hint of understanding in his tone: "I understand, Mr. Bruce."

After Selina and Harley finished choosing jewelry, they returned to the kitchen. As soon as she stepped into the door, Xiao Xian came up to her with a smile, pointed at the midnight snack that had been prepared and said, "The midnight snack is ready, Selina. Go and take it to Mr. Wayne."

Selina looked at the delicious dishes neatly arranged on the plate, smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

However, Bruce, who was hiding outside the door, was so angry when he heard Xiao Xian's words that he almost exploded. He cursed in his heart: "Such a rare opportunity to be alone, and Abin didn't even know how to seize it! What a fool!"

Selina gently pushed open the kitchen door, holding a plate filled with freshly baked midnight snacks, and she carefully carried the plate and slowly walked towards Bruce's room.

As soon as Selina left, Bruce hurried into the kitchen. With sharp eyes, he asked quickly, "Abin, why didn't you follow orders?"

Xiao Xian was cleaning up the dishes by the stove. Hearing Bruce's question, he turned around and answered innocently, "Mr. Bruce, I didn't reject Miss Selina's kindness this time."

Bruce frowned even more and reprimanded, "It's not enough to just refuse, Abin. You should take the initiative, look for opportunities, and take the initiative."

Xiao Xian straightened his back and nodded, "I understand, Mr. Bruce, I will work hard to improve!"

Bruce nodded, patted Xiao Xian on the shoulder, and quickly left the kitchen.

Using his super speed and the secret passage of Wayne Manor, Bruce appeared in front of his door before Selina. He gently pushed the door open, quickly glanced at the room, then quickly walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV. He adjusted his sitting posture and pretended to be concentrating on watching the program on the screen.

The door was pushed open again, and Selina came in with a plate. She saw Bruce sitting on the sofa, the light from the TV reflected on his face, looking so natural. Selina smiled and said softly, "Honey, this is the midnight snack I prepared for you, try it."
