Chapter 144: Chapter 144 - You Are Important

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mu Huan’s irritated mood vanished at once upon her reading that message from her husband. It looks like I’m a little more important to him than his nephew. This means that I’ll be fine even if I beat up Gu Chenyi!

Alas, her happiness was short-lived because, a few seconds later, she received another message from Bao Junyan, saying, “Chenyi can swim, so he needs no saving.”

Mu Huan: “...!!!!”

Her indignation had had her posing another question to him.

“If your nephew and I are caught in a life-threatening situation at the same time, who would you save?”

The man’s brows wrinkled. Why is it with Chenyi again?

After a brief rumination, he replied, “Why would both of you be in danger at the same time?”

Mu Huan: “...”

Is this the point at all?

“It’s just a simple ‘what if our lives are in danger at the same time, who would you save if you can only save one’ question!”

“Well, I’ll never let you two be in danger.”

How can I let my loved ones be in danger?!

The young lady’s lips twitched hard. “I’m saying ‘what if’!”

Bao Junyan: “No such thing will happen.”

Mu Huan: “...!!!!”

“Hubby, go get back to work. I’ll go wash up and sleep!” There was no way she could continue this conversation anymore!

Meanwhile, Bao Junyan felt a little perplexed when he read that message of hers. Wash up and sleep? She wants to wash up and sleep at this time of the day?

It’s almost two o’clock in the afternoon now.

And so, he replied, “You’re going to sleep now? Don’t you have class in the afternoon?”

His little wife instantly burst into fits of laughter when she saw his reply.

Without further ado, she replied, “You’re so cute, Hubby!”

That got him creasing his brows tightly for a good while. I’m so cute?

No one has ever used the word ‘cute’ on me, not even when I was just a kid.

At this point, PA Wang entered the office to deliver a document to him, and he noticed his boss staring at his phone with a frown, as though he was studying something profound and incomprehensible. Hence, he leaned over to take a look and saw Mu Huan’s message saying that she wanted to go wash up and sleep.

And when he saw his boss’ reply to that, he burst out chortling in mirth, unable to hold back his laughter at all.

That got him a look from the man.

He stopped laughing right away and bowed his head as he tried holding back his laughter.

“What are you laughing about?” The gall of him to laugh at me because my wife found me cute!

“Nothing.” PA Wang hung his head even lower than before.

Bao Junyan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze murderous.

His assistant confessed right away, “I’m laughing at the reply you sent to your wife when she said she wants to go wash up and sleep.”

“What’s so funny about that?”

“What she means here is that she’s ending the conversation to go do her own stuff. She’s not really going to go have a bath and then head to bed. It’s an Internet lingo.”

Bao Junyan: “...”

He kept his silence for a good while before he ordered, “Go do up and give me a report on the latest Internet lingo and their meaning.”

“Understood.” Just as PA Wang was about to leave, he could not resist adding, “I apologize, Sir, but I also saw what Madam had sent you earlier. Those questions are probably her way of asking you who is more important to you — Young Master or Madam.”

Bao Junyan: “...”

She can just outright pose this question to me, why the need to ask it this way?

The assistant continued, “Girls’ way of thinking is more mild and indirect, and this is especially so for young ladies like Madam.”

His boss’ voice turned a little frigid. “You know her very well?”

He hastily shook his head at that. “N-no, but I have a sister who’s about the same age as Madam! Since they’re similar in age, their mentality should be similar, too!

“Sir, if there’s nothing else you need, I’ll get back to work!”

After his assistant left, Bao Junyan stared at his phone for several seconds before finally replying, “You’re important.”
