Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Gentle Trap, Information Exchange
After that ambiguous and impactful kiss, Natasha completely gave up resisting.
Like a kitten that had let down its guard, she obediently let Lin Tian lead her by the hand and sit down on the sofa in the living room.
Lin Tian went to the bedroom to change into clean pajamas, and then poured her a glass of warm water.
"Are you still dizzy?" Lin Tian asked with concern as he sat down beside her.
Natasha shook her head, took the water glass, and sipped it slowly, the blush on her face not yet completely gone.
She was still a little dizzy from that kiss.
“Lin…” Natasha hesitated for a moment before finally asking, “You… really like me?”
It took immense courage to ask that question. She was afraid of hearing a negative answer, yet also afraid that if she heard a positive answer, she would completely lose control.
Lin Tian looked at her cautious yet expectant eyes and chuckled inwardly, but put on an extremely serious expression.
“Of course.” He grasped Natasha’s hand, the one not holding the cup, and held it tightly in his palm, his eyes filled with deep affection. “From the first time I saw you… I was attracted to you.”
“You are special, Natasha,” he said softly. “Your strength, your vulnerability, your beauty, and your danger fascinate me.”
Although she knew these words were probably just sweet nothings that Lin Tian had casually uttered, Natasha still felt as if her heart was soaking in a honey pot, so sweet it was almost cloying.
What woman could resist such a handsome, powerful, mysterious man who can see right through her heart, making such a heartfelt confession?
Even knowing it might be poison, they still willingly consume it.
"What about Wanda and the others?" Natasha asked, remembering the twins, her tone tinged with a hint of bitterness.
"Them?" Lin Tian smiled. "I've said before, they are my students, and also my family. My feelings for them are more about responsibility and guidance."
He paused, looked into Natasha's eyes, and said, word by word, "But you are different."
That one word, "different," instantly soothed all of Natasha's doubts and that little bit of jealousy.
It turns out I was special to him.
This realization filled Natasha with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and smug delight.
"So you attacked Hydra, also for them?" Natasha continued to probe, trying to learn more about Lin Tian.
"That's part of the reason," Lin Tian nodded, not denying it. "Baron Strucker used inhumane methods to experiment on them, and I will naturally seek revenge for that."
"And what about the other reason?" Natasha pressed.
"The other part..." Lin Tian smiled mysteriously, "is to clean up some garbage. Hydra, this kind of cancer, is just a menace if it's left alive."
His tone was calm, as if he were talking about something trivial, but Natasha detected a hint of... chilling murderous intent.
This man is definitely not a kind person.
But for some reason, she actually found him kind of handsome?
"So what are you planning to do next?" Natasha asked cautiously. "Continue targeting Stark with Wanda?"
“Stark…” A complex light flashed in Lin Tian’s eyes. “He does owe them justice. However, there are many ways to take revenge; it doesn’t necessarily have to be a fight to the death.”
He looked at Natasha: "Perhaps you can help me?"
“Me?” Natasha was taken aback.
“That’s right.” Lin Tian nodded. “You’re a member of the Avengers, and a friend of Stark, right?”
"If you could mediate and get Stark to pay some 'price' for his past mistakes, perhaps you could resolve this feud?"
Lin Tian's words made Natasha fall into deep thought.
Make Stark pay the price?
is it possible?
Given Stark's arrogant personality...
But if they could truly resolve the hatred between Wanda and her siblings and Stark, and avert a major war that could engulf the entire city of New York...
This seems like a good option?
And this was also the first time Lin Tian had asked her for "help"?
This made her feel that she was really important to him.
“I…” Natasha hesitated, “I can’t guarantee anything. You know Stark’s temper.”
"Just do your best," Lin Tian said with a smile, as if he had expected her to agree. "I believe in your abilities, Natasha."
Once again, he used this seemingly trusting and dependent approach to firmly bind Natasha to his "chariot."
Natasha felt a warmth in her heart when she saw the trust in Lin Tian's eyes, and nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
"That's wonderful." Lin Tian's smile widened even more. "As a token of my gratitude..."
He suddenly leaned close to Natasha and kissed her lips again before she could react.
This kiss was deeper and more... passionate than the last one.
Natasha was instantly captivated, once again indulging in the dizzying sweetness.
……
Much later, when Natasha left Lin Tian's apartment in a daze, she felt as if she had just woken from a dream.
She not only established some kind of ambiguous relationship with Lin Tian, but also...
He even agreed to help him "mediate" with Stark?
This...isn't this progress a bit too fast?!
But feeling the lingering warmth on her lips, and the irrepressible sweetness and flutter in her heart...
Natasha found that she didn't seem to regret it?
She was even somewhat looking forward to their next meeting?
As for Fury's orders? A S.H.I.E.L.D. mission?
It seems she has temporarily put all of that behind her.
Watching Natasha stagger away as if drunk, the affection and tenderness on Lin Tian's face vanished instantly behind the apartment door, replaced by a cold calculation.
"Done," he murmured to himself.
Sending Natasha to deal with Stark was a brilliant move.
Whether successful or not, it can effectively divert the Avengers' attention, buying him more time and space for his next plans.
And it would also deepen the "relationship" between him and Natasha.
Kill two birds with one stone.
"It seems this Black Widow is even more useful than I imagined." A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Tian's lips.
Who should be the next target?
His gaze seemed to pierce through the walls, landing in the direction of Stark Tower.
Tony Stark Pepper Potts...
It seems like we could play together?

Chapter 40: Jealousy Arises, Scarlet Witch Cries in Frustration
Lin Tian and Natasha's "intimate interaction" in the living room.
Although he tried to lower his voice, how could he possibly hide it from the twins in the room whose five senses were far beyond those of ordinary people?
Pietro was alright; he only vaguely heard some indistinct conversations and certain blush-inducing sounds. Although he felt disgusted by Lin Tian flirting with other women, he didn't care as long as it didn't harm his sister.
But Wanda is different.
Her exceptionally sharp mental perception, enhanced by the Chaos Magic, allowed her to "see" almost everything that was happening in the living room!
She saw how Lin Tian flirted with that red-haired woman, how they hugged, and even how they kissed!
A bitter flame of jealousy, unlike anything she had ever felt before, instantly ignited within her!
On what grounds?!
Lin Mingming belongs to her! She met him first! He gave her strength! He brought her unprecedented peace and joy!
Who is that red-haired woman?! Just an ordinary human agent!
Why should she receive such "gentle" treatment from Lin?! Even more "intimate" than towards herself?!
Wanda clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. The chaotic energy surrounding her became extremely unstable due to the intense fluctuations in her emotions, and the objects in the room began to vibrate slightly!
She even felt a strong urge—to rush out and tear that woman who stole Lin to shreds!
But she dared not.
She was afraid Lin would be angry.
She was even more afraid of losing Lin.
Since having a deep conversation with Lin Tian, she felt that her soul was now tightly bound to his.
Leaving the forest was like a fish leaving the water; it would cause her suffocating pain and panic.
This strong sense of dependence prevented her from doing anything that might anger Lin Tian, even though she was filled with jealousy and resentment.
She could only silently endure it, burying that bitterness and grievance deep in her heart.
When Natasha left and Lin Tian returned to the living room, Wanda immediately composed herself and walked out of the room as if nothing had happened.
"Lin, you're back." She tried to keep her voice calm, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear a hint of grievance and probing.
Lin Tian was incredibly perceptive; he naturally noticed the subtle change in Wanda's emotions.
He looked at the girl's feigned strength, yet a hint of resentment flickered in her eyes, and understood.
Is the little girl jealous?
That's an interesting phenomenon.
It seems that the "seeds" I planted earlier have not only sprouted in Natasha's heart, but have also begun to grow strong in Wanda's heart.
However, he did not immediately point it out, nor did he try to comfort him.
Sometimes, a proper sense of "crisis" can better stimulate the prey's possessiveness.
"Yeah, I'm back." Lin Tian replied casually, walked to the sofa, sat down, picked up a book, and started reading by himself, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Lin Tian's "cold" attitude, Wanda felt even more aggrieved.
He kissed another woman and came back, and he didn't even say anything?!
Am I really not important to him?
Wanda bit her lip, her eyes slightly red.
She desperately wanted to rush up and confront Lin Tian, but she didn't dare.
She could only silently walk to Lin Tian's side and sit down next to him, like a wronged little cat that dared not act spoiled.
