(Thanks to the leader Lan Bin for his strong support for this book)
In Nassau County, New York, the former mobile phone company headquarters building no longer has the huge silver sign belonging to Titanium Corporation.
The company employees, visitors and customers of related companies who used to bustle around the building every day are nowhere to be seen.
Except for security guards and some odd-job personnel, the people here are now all researchers who seldom move away once they enter the room.
When Ginny bought this building of more than ten floors, it had already been built for more than 20 years.
Now, more than ten years have passed, and it looks even older.
However, within the building park, green plants are scattered everywhere, alternating between dense and sparse.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the past, there is a sense of quiet beauty where the glitz has faded and the years have settled.
The top floor of the building is still Ginny's daily residence in New York.
Except for the addition of a delicate and small botanical garden on the roof, everything else was almost the same as when she first came to New York.
The eldest lady is a nostalgic person.
Similar treatment to this top-floor living room is also given to the small "mansion" at the foot of Beverly Hills in Los Angeles - it was there that she first met Luke.
Although that meeting had nothing to do with love at first sight, Luke still used it to tease the chairman from time to time.
For example, a young detective handcuffed a female suspect's hands and searched her body for contraband. This kind of "case simulation.JPG" happened more than once.
Over the past decade, Ginny has progressed from a business newbie to an upstart to a big shot to a tycoon.
From initially boasting in front of people all over the world with great ambition, to now being separated from most of the specific affairs and leisurely controlling hundreds of small and medium-sized companies behind the scenes in the form of hidden shareholdings, her life has been very fulfilling.
At this moment, the chairman was covered with a thin blanket, lying lazily on the large soft couch in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony.
The flat-panel projector on the small table in front of him was playing economic news, and the host was reviewing the details of the recent surge in many technology stocks across the United States.
But Ginny's attention was no longer on that.
On a summer afternoon, the sky outside the balcony was clear and white clouds appeared. The sound of cicadas and birds could be heard faintly among the red flowers and green trees, mixed with familiar professional terms from the news.
The chairman gradually fell into a state of half sleep and half wakefulness.
She didn't know how long it had been before she smelled the aroma of coffee lingering on her nose. Her heart moved, and then she felt someone was hugging her.
Without opening her eyes, Ginny knew who was coming just by the position and posture of the hand.
Of course, it is impossible for others to pass Angel's level.
She did not open her eyes, nor did she speak. She just lazily leaned back and got closer to someone, and a faint "hmm" sound as faint as a firefly came out of her nose.
After waking up from a nap, the chairman felt limp all over and didn't want to move at all.
Fortunately, that someone had sharp hearing, was well versed in psychology, and was very capable, so she didn't worry that he would misunderstand her.
Luke couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the young lady in front of him who was as delicate and slender as a Barbie doll.
I remember that in the past, this guy would not even take a nap. Even before going to bed at night, he would whisper in his ear about the company's development and future plans. Now he has even started to take a lazy nap.
But now it is the beginning of May 2019, and it is almost a year since Thanos's arrival.
In the first two months, Luke and Selina boarded a spaceship and traveled all the way to the Chaos Planet, and then brought their family back to Earth after being transferred there using Space No. 2 before the war.
After that, he and Selena took a vacation at the Shackelford Ranch Villa for more than half a year, and only recently resumed their activities.
During this period of time, in order to study the body of his original self with all attributes, he had not activated his clone again.
Without the multi-threaded operation of a clone, he would not have enough time as he was tied up.
Therefore, Ginny had only met him briefly a few times in the past year, and the long vacations promised to him every year had accumulated.
Fortunately, after returning to New York this time, the research on the complete form has been completed and the clone has been activated again.
With three clones taking charge of scientific research and miscellaneous tasks, although he is still doing these things himself, Luke himself can at least have some free time on the surface.
To use an inappropriate analogy, he has a physique 200 times stronger than an ordinary person and has the fighting power to defeat all the female goblins in the Pansi Cave one by one, but he cannot defeat the female goblins in two caves at the same time.
Fortunately, the chairman has been busy with his career in recent years and has not taken a vacation in a year. There have been a few times when he made up for it, but no one had any intention of making trouble with him.
But today, it was already afternoon, and she was still wearing her silk pajamas, not even bothering to change into her home clothes.
Apparently the two hadn't seen each other for more than three months, and the chairman had a serious backlog of official business that needed to be dealt with vigorously before she could get back to work.
The thoughtful Luke simply reduced the strength in his hands, using the softest massage techniques, combined with the faint light of life to replenish Ginny's body, slowly allowing her body to return to its peak state.
The chairman was obviously very satisfied with his massage skills, and he changed from lying on his side to lying on his stomach so that his body could relax faster.
Neither of them spoke during this time. Ginny didn't even open her eyes, allowing Luke to relax the muscles in her waist and legs that were tired from sitting for a long time.
Luke didn't stop until she fell into a deep sleep.
With a sweep of his telekinesis, he "brushed" the chairman's sweat into a trash can in the distance. Then he embraced her, who was limp all over, and covered her with a thin blanket.
With a clone, sleeping with the real person won't affect work at all.
It's just that machine number one is temporarily in hibernation, and the processor's computing power is allocated to machines number two, three, and four, but it can satisfy the psychological needs of girlfriends.
No wonder some people say that clone is a necessary skill for many novel protagonists.
Although his clone has no independent consciousness and can only be regarded as an alternative "limb", this can also avoid the danger of being sent to the grassland by the clone, which is very suitable for someone like him who lacks security.
A soul-penetrating Lu-style massage helped Ginny have a sweet afternoon sleep.
She didn't wake up until the sun set and the orange-red afterglow created large patches of brilliant clouds in the sky.
The familiar hand was placed in a familiar position, firmly grasping her key points, and the strong muscles on his back brought her a full sense of fulfillment, making her sigh comfortably: He was so considerate from beginning to end, how could I bear to get rid of him
Angel, that muscle-brained man, didn't understand the beauty of this at all! Ginny despised her security guard and half-bestie in her heart, slightly sideways, and turned her head to look behind her.
As expected, Luke's gray-blue (or ice-blue to be more pleasant) eyes were staring at her quietly.
Ginny smiled: "Hi, long time no see."
Luke smiled back, "Well, long time no see."
As they talked, their heads came together again.
After a long while, Ginny said vaguely: "Luke, I'm... a little... hungry."
Luke hummed, "Yeah, you fell asleep too quickly and didn't eat my delivered lunch."
Ginny: "Get lost, I don't want to eat your fast food, I want to eat chicken."
Luke: "Okay, how about barbecued pork chicken?"
Ginny: "I want you to feed me."
Luke: “No problem.”

I didn’t dare write too much in the main text before, for fear that the editor might be overly sensitive and interrupt the continuity of the plot.
Now it's a special episode, so it doesn't matter.
Well, this chapter is written for people with complicated thoughts. It’s none of my business if you think too much.)
