Chapter 13: How Should She Address Him
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Reaction?
What… reaction?
Gu Anbao looked at him dumbly for a long time before she suddenly realized what he meant!
Is… is he referring to… that kind of reaction?!
Her sister had secretly told her once, that men would have a reaction in ‘that place’! But… she did not have a real concept of this so-called “reaction”!
How the hell would she know how it happened?!
Her whole face burned red hot instantly!
Looking like a well-cooked lobster, she stumbled a few steps backward as she stared, dumbfounded, at him. Flashbacks on her earlier stupid actions kept looping through her mind!
I actually… rubbed… it…
Ahhhh! I actually rubbed him at that spot?! Am I stupid or what!
He watched her scarlet-red face and stunned reaction with concern…
Will the high heat burn the chip inside her…?
To him, a man’s erection was a normal physiological response that warranted no alarm. This was especially so when the subject in this issue was just a robot. There was no need to feel embarrassed or ashamed.
As a normal, mature man, it was only natural for him to experience such a phenomenon when a sweet, young thing with an “F” cup hovered to rub him over.
Of course, it was one thing to have a physiological reaction. Whether he was thinking about it was another matter altogether. If every such physiological reaction required action, then his morning erection everyday would have wasted so much of his time…
“Ruan Ruan?” he attempted to shake her out of her stupified state.
Still in a state of shock, and standing two meters away from the bed, the robot hung her flushed face with the white towel still clenched in her hands.
The man heaved a sigh of resignation silently in his heart.
Forget it.
Her embarrassed and terrified look was just too real for a robot, and it made him feel like he was bullying a little girl instead…
“Fill up the bathtub with water, I’m gonna take a bath.” Since he could not have a rub over, he might as well take a bath.
Gu Anbao nodded her head eagerly and quickly made a slip through the door. She was in such a hurry that she even forgotten to take along the basin of water with her.
She’s just like a frightened little rabbit.
He almost broke into a laugh for no reason…
When the little girl knocked on the door once more, he suddenly decided to tease her. Leaning his hand against the door frame, he held her cheek with the other palm, towered over her slightly and whispered into her ear, “You’re feeling so hot… Do you need… medicine to keep down your temperature?”
Then he got up and left for the bathroom in great satisfaction after he saw her slight pinkish cheeks heating up into a bright pink shade.
Stunned beyond words, she watched the bathroom door closing on her…
He… he… he, he…
… is so bad!
A sudden loud ringing tone from the phone scared her out of her wits.
Holding her flushing hot face, she quickened her steps into the bedroom to pick up his phone and ran back to the bathroom. Knocking lightly on the door, she said, “… Chen… Chen Yuheng, you have a call.”
She could hear running water flowing on the other side.
Worried that he might not hear her, she repeated, “Chen Yuheng, your cellphone is ringing.”
She heard his slow, leisure reply after a while. “Can you see who’s calling? Ignore the call if it’s a foreign number.”
She lowered her eyes to glance at the phone screen. It said: Shen Xinran.
Hey… is this referring to that actress, Shen Xinran? Or perhaps, the caller happened to have the same name as her…
“…Erm… It’s from someone called Shen Xinran,” she told him.
It might be due to the soothing hot bath that rendered his lazy reply. “Oh… There’s no need to answer the call.”
Huh?
No need to answer the call? … Then… just ignore it?
Bewildered, she put the phone back in its original spot, at the same time wondering who could this person be.
The phone kept ringing… The unceasing ringtone could easily fluster anyone.
She really admired the person’s patience. Under normal circumstances, the caller would stop when no one picked up a call after a few rings. However, this person by the name of Shen Xinran kept going… It was as if the person was all out to win this waiting game.
Can it be an emergency?
She thought to herself.
Finally, the phone stopped ringing. By then, the screen had already displayed 12 miscalls.
How persevering…
However, barely after two minutes, the phone started to ring again.
It was still Shen Xinran.
Why doesn’t he want to accept the call? Should I go and ask him again…?
Just as she was fretting over this, a large palm could be seen stretching out from behind her back, it grabbed the phone and rejected the call straight away. Thereafter, the phone was switched off…
“?!”
She twirled her head around and found her face plastered close to the face of the man standing behind her.
This is too close…
He seemed to be spraying his moist, warm breaths on her cheeks while his deep, pensive eyes were about to swallow her… The girl did not dare to look him in his eyes. Slowly she shifted her gaze downward only to see that he was not wearing anything underneath the bathrobe…
She forced herself to stay calm and took her eyes off him, too afraid to cast another glance in his direction.
After switching off the phone, the man threw it aimlessly on the table. Standing up, he realized that the robot’s face had turned red again and asked with a chuckle, “Are you always so easily embarrassed?”
“No… not at all,” she fixed her eyes on the empty wall and rebutted guiltily.
Giving a smile, he used a dry towel to knead his hair, sat on the bed once more and asked, “What did you call me just now?”
“Huh?”
“Just now, how did you address me when you asked me to answer the call?”
Stunned, she answered hesitantly, “Chen Yuheng… Did I address you wrongly?”
“Eh, it was wrong.”
Looking at him in surprise, she retorted, “Isn’t this your name…?”
His lips curled into a smile. “This is my name, but you aren’t supposed to address me directly. Understand?”
No… not at all…
If I can’t address you as Chen Yuheng, then how should I address you?
She thought hard about this. Was it… rude of her to address him directly by his name? Besides, she was only a robot and not anyone special to him…
Then what is a better way to address him? How do his employees address him?… Devil king? Oops, no, no, that’s not correct; it’s President Chen! But… that feels strange…
Despite thinking hard for a long time, she could not come up with a satisfactory term.
All this time, he was watching the various expressions playing out on her face with interest.
With his lips still curled in a smile, he asked, “Have you thought of how you should address me?”
She mumbled as she watched his expression guardedly, “… Master?” Since she was his personal robot, then addressing him as “master” should be appropriate, right?
Holding his hand to his forehead, the man was stunned at first before breaking into an unexpected low titter.
She widened her eyes with incredulous disbelief.
Don’t tell me… I’m wrong again?
Shaking his head with a smile, he stroke her cat ear and said, “Normally, the robot will address the owner as mister if it is a man, and madam if it’s a woman. Of course, if the consumer has specific requests, the manufacturer can program something specifically for them. For instance, some ladies with dogs will prefer to be addressed as ‘mommy’. So it all depends on the consumer’s request. For me, you can address me as ‘Mister’ or ‘Mister Chen’; either will do.”
She could not help feeling nervous when she heard him mentioned the word “consumer”. Unbothered by the tickling sensation as he stroked her ear, she asked, “will you… sell me off?”
Selling off?
Of course not, he was only planning to send her to his former residence to look after the Old Master.
Her face broke into a smile of sweet relief and her heart filled with happiness when she saw him shaking his head.
If he’s not gonna sell me off… then that means we’ll always be together, right?
