Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Our House was Robbed (2)_1

...

Han Jingnian, who was waiting in the airport’s VIP lounge, subconsciously glanced at his phone after hearing two "ding-dong" sounds. Seeing there were no message notifications, he continued to look down at his computer.

Zhang Te, who was sitting next to him, assumed it was his phone, took it out to check, saw there were no new messages, and then uttered, "President Han, those two reminder sounds just now seemed to be coming from you."

Ignoring Zhang Te, Han Jingnian scrolled through some documents on his laptop. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he pulled out another phone from the document folder he was carrying.

On checking, sure enough, it was a WeChat message from Xia Wan’an.

He immediately closed his laptop and checked the message.

As he opened WeChat, he saw Zhang Te from the corner of his eye, craning his neck to peek at his phone screen. Han Jingnian got up and walked far away before checking the content of the message.

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "Zhang Te, don’t you think Han Jingnian is acting strangely today?"

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "I think he might have a fever. Do you want to bring him a thermometer to check his temperature?"

Han Jingnian: "..."

After a while, Han Jingnian forced himself to respond as Zhang Te, "Mrs. Han, how are you?"

"Why does Mrs Han say so?"

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "You probably don’t know, but when Han Jingnian came home today, he actively chatted with me for a bit. He told me he’ll be on a business trip and will be back by the weekend. You should keep an eye on him, I fear he might have fried his brain with a fever."

Han Jingnian was speechless:"..."

Did she think so little of him? So little that telling her about his whereabouts leads her to conclude that he had fried his brain?

Eager to salvage his image, Han Jingnian responded, "Mrs. Han, President Han is not ill, he is quite normal. Him telling you all this is probably just a way to report his whereabouts to you."

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight" sent an emoji of a laughing rabbit.

After a while, another line of text came into Han Jingnian’s view.

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "Zhang Te, to be frank, this is the funniest joke I’ve heard this year."

Then, another laughing emoji came into Han Jingnian’s sight. The emoji was an animation; it laughed its teeth out, put them back in, and proceeded to laugh them out again... it was quite comical. But seeing this comical emoji that was likely to make anyone laugh, Han Jingnian did not find it the least bit amusing. He even felt it was somewhat sarcastic.

Is the distance between them this great? So great that... reporting his whereabouts to her becomes the year’s funniest joke.

A wave of unspeakable bitterness swept over Han Jingnian. He stared at the screen for a long while before replying to Xia Wan’an.

"Mrs. Han, this is not a joke. President Han is genuinely reporting his whereabouts to you."

Xia Wan’an did not reply straight away.

Thinking the airport signal might be poor, Han Jingnian paced around with his phone, then sent another message.

"Mrs. Han?"

After a good while, just as he was about to send a third message to Xia Wan’an, her message finally arrived.

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "There’s a thief in our house!"

A thief?

Without a moment’s hesitation, Han Jingnian headed towards the exit of the VIP lounge. As he walked, he sent Xia Wan’an a message, "What’s the matter? What’s been stolen? Is the thief still in the house? I’m calling 110 right away..."

Just as he was about to call the police, he received another message.

"The Most Beautiful Goodnight": "Several bottles of Yakult are missing."
