No worries if not!
Informal Polite
What it really means
A texting softener added after a request. It offers you an easy way out, but the sender usually really hopes you will say yes. Reply either way — silence is the only impolite option.
Chinese explanation
发消息提请求后追加的缓冲语。它给你留了台阶，但发信人通常很希望你答应。答不答应都请回复——已读不回才失礼。
Example conversation
A: Any chance you could feed my cat this weekend? No worries if not!
B: Happy to! Drop the keys round.
A：这周末能帮我喂下猫吗？不行也没关系哈！
B：没问题！把钥匙送过来吧。
