?Chapter 718:


    Connor understood the situation now and couldn’t suppress a smile.


    He looked at Bu with interest and asked, “So, what happened next?”


    Bu rolled his eyes in frustration. “Your wife is incredibly ruthless. She had the bodyguards stuff me into a suitcase and leave me on the roadside. Then she called my assistant to pick me up and made her escape.”


    Bu red at Connor and added, “Oh, and she also instructed White Mallow to deny everything.”


    Bu deliberately omitted the part where Silver Fox had stripped him naked, as it was rather humiliating.


    Connor couldn’t help butugh at the story. The thought of the whole situation was highly amusing to him, especially since he knew exactly how mischievous his wife could be.


    Bu’s face darkened as he continued, “You’re actuallyughing? Your wife is so heartless and cruel. Aren’t you going to do something about it?”


    Connor touched his nose and said with a grin, “Haven’t I already told you? I’m afraid of my wife.”


    Every story starts at gα?ησν????s


    Bu’s lips curled slightly. He had anticipated this reaction.


    He knew how Connor acted as if his wife was the most important person in the world; even if she did something outrageous, Connor would likely overlook it and might even support her actions.


    Connor showed no sign of remorse and instead taunted Bu, “Even though you’re covered in injuries, you don’t seem too bothered or angry. In fact, you look like you almost enjoyed the encounter. So why would I make my wife unhappy just because of you?”


    Bu was momentarily speechless. After discovering that his assant was Silver Fox, he had indeed found some strange enjoyment in the experience.


    It was his first close encounter with the girl he admired, even if it was a bit extreme. Moreover, it gave him an opportunity to have a direct conversation with her.


    Of course, Bu couldn’t share these feelings with Connor for fear of being mocked.


    He just replied, “White Mallow wasn’t targeting me; she simply entered the wrong room. But your wife, even after realizing the mistake, came up with a rather bad solution. So, in my view, she’s even worse.”


    Connor smirked, “So what should I do? Should Ipensate you? How much?”


    Bu scoffed, “I don’t need your money!”


    “Then what do you want?” Connor asked.


    “Let me join you for lunch,” Bu said. “I need your wife to deliver a message for me.”


    Connor initially thought of refusing, as he had spent the morning preparing for a private lunch with Marissa to strengthen their bond. But then they ran into Arabe, and now Bu wanted to join.


    Without giving Connor a chance to refuse, Bu had already entered the restaurant, leaving no room for any objections.


    With Arabe already there, Connor and Marissa wouldn’t be having their private moment anyway. Adding Bu to the mix didn’t make much of a difference
