Chu He smiled. She knew what kind of man Gu Jinglian was.

  Although he had an awkward personality, he would never say hypocritical sweet nothings. Because he was a very powerful man, there was no need for him to say anything hypocritical to win the favor of others! Only others would try to please him, he had never spent his time and effort to try and please others!

  Therefore, everything he said was completely true to what he thought. He would not forgive any betrayal. Similarly, he would not betray.

  Since he chose this marriage, he had to be true to his own choice. Rather than saying that he was being loyal to her, a better way to put it might be to say he was being loyal to his own decision. If there came a time that he did not like her anymore, he would break up before going on to the next relationship. To have an affair during his wife’s pregnancy because of the lack of sexual intimacy was something that Gu Jinglian scoffed at!

  If a man could not even control his most primitive desires, what difference was there between him and a lowly primitive creature!?

  Humans are known to be highly-evolved because they are intelligent and know how to control their emotions and desires. If they were unable to keep themselves under control for ten odd months, then to him, they were only as good as half-evolved, low-level creatures.

  Gu Jinglian believed that men were more capable than women. They had great physical strength, tall physiques, and extraordinary charisma. So why couldn’t men do what women could?

  Initially, Gu Jinglian had some doubts as to why Chu He would ask such a question. However, Chu He did not intend to hide it from him.

  “Do you remember the pregnant woman I met during the prenatal checkup?”


  “Yeah, I remember.”


  “Later on, she invited me to a chat group for mothers-to-be. All the members are mothers-to-be. I thought that given our common ground, we would be able to learn from each other.”


  After a pause, Chu He told him the whole story.

  After hearing her out, the man did not take it to heart.

  After all, that was the business of other women. What did their husbands’ affairs have to do with him? He couldn’t be bothered to probe further. Besides, affairs and betrayal were common. He had no interest in knowing what the other pregnant women thought of him.

  Chu He went straight to the point, “They even said that my husband must be ugly. Otherwise, how could you bear with me being pregnant for so long, and give your word that you’ll never betray me.”


  “How did you reply?” Gu Jinglian asked. Compared to the opinions of others, he cared more about her opinions and feelings towards him. He didn’t care about the others.

  Chu He said, “My husband will definitely not cheat on me because even if he cheated on me, he wouldn’t be able to find someone as beautiful as me!”


  Gu Jinglian was flabbergasted.

  Where was her shame?

  Shameless.

  “Where did you get your confidence from?” Gu Jinglian snorted.” There aren’t many who are prettier than you, but there are many who are more feminine, flirtatious, and passionate than you!”


  “There are many men who are more gentle than you too!” Chu He added, “And many who are more handsome than you!”


  “Who are they? Tell me.”


  “I think the husband of that woman Yun Shishi, that man by the name of Mu Yazhe, is very handsome.”


  However, Gu Jinglian was not bothered and sneered. “How can he compare to me?”


  “Why not? Isn’t he handsome? I think he’s more manly than you!”


  Gu Jinglian was flabbergasted.

  How dare she say that!
