Chapter 401: Envy
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Upon hearing Mr. Watson’s voice, Papa Le put away his phone as if nothing had happened. Then, he put on a helpless expression.
“It’s my wife. She’s used to relying on me, so she called me when she couldn’t find something. She even told me to come back early.”
Mr. Watson raised his eyebrows.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Le to be so henpecked. Didn’t know that a successful man like you would still dote on his first wife so much? It’s a rare type in the industry.”
Papa Le had heard similar words too many times in the past ten years, so he was already familiar with how to deal with them.
Papa Le said in a slightly disdainful tone,
“It can’t be helped. Although my wife has her own career, she’s very free every day. She looks more like a full-time wife, so she spends most of her energy on me and the children. She definitely has to keep an eye on me every day and rely on me for everything.”
However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that although he said those words of disdain, his expression was very proud. It was obvious that he thought that being controlled by his wife was a very glorious thing.
“Oh, right, there’s something I have to do, but I wonder if Mr. Watson would mind?”
Mr. Watson was puzzled.
“What is it?”
“Just now, my wife called to ask me where the things were, but I know her well. It’s a lie to ask about the things. Her real purpose is to check on me. She knew that I came to the clubhouse with you, so she was afraid that I would bump into a young and beautiful girl here. You know how paranoid women are, so to stop her from bothering me…” Papa Le smiled and raised his phone. “So you don’t mind if I take a photo of the scene for her to see?”
Mr. Watson didn’t expect him to be so henpecked. However, since Papa Le had brought it up, even though he didn’t like it, he didn’t have any reason to reject it. After all, he was the one who had met Papa Le today to make peace. He couldn’t offend him over such a small matter. Therefore, he put on a happy expression and agreed.
“Of course. After all, we really didn’t call any girls today, so there’s nothing to be afraid of, right?” Mr. Watson gave Papa Le a knowing look.
What he meant was that after reporting, he could ask the young girls to come in and play. At their level, if they wanted young and beautiful girls, or even supermodels, as long as they could afford it, they could basically get it done with a phone call.
There were even professional pimps who specially recruited a bunch of girls and even celebrities to serve rich people like them.
Papa Le understood what he meant, but he didn’t respond. He pretended not to understand and pretended to be happy instead.
“It’s great that you can cooperate. I’ll shoot it now.”
Papa Le unlocked his phone with one hand and placed his other hand on Mr. Watson’s shoulder. Ignoring the fact that Mr. Watson’s body suddenly stiffened, he turned on the camera and started recording.
Mr. Watson saw his figure appear in the selfie and subconsciously squeezed out a stiff smile. Obviously, Papa Le’s friendly attitude didn’t conform to his usual social etiquette, so he didn’t know how to deal with it.
Papa Le laughed in his heart. Seeing that the phone had frozen the two of them, he moved the camera away and took a picture of the clubhouse’s private room. He sent it to Mama Le to report.
Mr. Watson couldn’t help but glance at his phone interface. He saw the red hearts floating on the screen and couldn’t help but shiver. He didn’t expect that a 50-year-old couple would send such mushy messages to each other.
Mr. Watson brought it to himself. If he and his wife did this, as long as he imagined that scene, he would feel a wave of physiological discomfort surge up, and he immediately stopped imagining the strange scene.
As expected, there was still a difference between husband and wife. The way the Le couple interacted with each other was a little too clingy and unacceptable.
Then, he remembered that his wife had become more and more powerful in recent years, and she had become more and more aggressive in fighting for power and profit in the company. Suddenly, he was a little envious of Papa Le.
“Actually, it’s good to be a full-time wife like your wife who doesn’t interfere in the company’s affairs..”
