In what way does ちうわけで serve this sentence?

From my understanding, absent "ちうわけで", this simply means, "Is it OK if I go to
break." Is it similar to "こういうわけで"?




ちう (and ちゅう) is a slurred version of という, so ちうわけで is the same as というわけで.

というわけで basically just means "So, ..." or "For that reason, ...". It's mainly
used to describe a conclusion after stating a reason. It's also used to draw
the listeners' attention before moving on to the main topic (e.g., " **So** ,
let's start today's lesson"). Sometimes it's used even at the very beginning
of an exchange (like English " **So** , hello, my name is ...").

From [this answer](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/2258/5010):
