Chapter 3768: A New Addition (384)
“There’s no answer!” Gu Jinglian sat on the sofa and pursed his lips. “Why an extramarital affair? If you don’t like your spouse, you can just break up with him or her. And if you’ve broken up with your spouse and subsequently go out with someone else, that can’t be considered cheating!”
“Then… what if you cheated before you broke up?”
Gu Jinglian laughed. “I don’t understand. Why would you be thinking of someone else before you break up?”
Chu He hesitated and then said, “Perhaps, your feelings have faded? You don’t like your spouse anymore?”
The man replied straightforwardly, “If you don’t like your spouse anymore, then you should break up.”
“Then… what if you still like your spouse? It’s just a spur of the moment…”
“If you still like her, then there’s even less of a reason for you to cheat on her. You’re already an adult, so you can’t use spur of the moment as an excuse for everything.”
Gu Jinglian paused and his gaze suddenly became dangerous. He looked at her meaningfully. “Why are you suddenly asking this!? Are you planning to have an affair?!”
“Pffft!” Chu He snorted. “Of course not! Do I need an affair? Besides, I’m pregnant. How do I even have an affair? I might as well kill myself!”
“Kill yourself, you dare?” Gu Jinglian started to look more nervous. “What’s the matter? Why are you suddenly asking this? I sense that something’s bothering you.”

“I’ve heard that some men would have their physical needs settled by other women when their own wives are pregnant and are unable to have s.e.xual intimacy.” Chu He paused and continued, “Will there come a time when you are unable to control yourself?”
At the mention of this, Gu Jinglian turned somewhat gloomy. “What else can we do?” He added meaningfully, “It’s not like somebody will understand me.”
Cough.
Chu He turned her face away awkwardly.
“But don’t worry. I can take it.”
Chu He suddenly asked, “Will you forgive someone who cheats on you?”
Gu Jinglian was stunned. Noting that Chu He seemed to be very insistent on this question, he answered solemnly, “Everyone has their bottom line. It depends on what it is. For me, the answer is ‘no’! I will never forgive a man who betrays me. No matter what his ident.i.ty is, all is equal. You are my wife, so you must be loyal to me. Similarly, I am your husband, so I will be responsible and loyal to you. This is my principle and my bottom line.”
Chu He’s eyes lit up. “Are you serious about that?”
“Of course!” Gu Jinglian said disapprovingly, “Do you think I’m joking?! Since we are married, then there will be no divorce in this marriage, only death of a spouse.”
Chu He felt an odd chill down her spine and asked half-jokingly, “If I made you a cuckold, will you strangle me to death?”
“I will. I’ll strangle you before I strangle that adulterer.”
“How violent.”
“Good that you know.” Gu Jinglian snorted. “So behave and don’t betray me, and you won’t be strangled to death by me.”
“What about you?” Chu He suddenly asked with interest, “If you betrayed me, what would you do?”
“What would I do? First of all, there is no ‘if’. The scenario is impossible.”
Chu He found it unbelievable. “You are that confident?”
“I’m married.” Gu Jinglian emphasized again. “Since we’re married, as a husband, I can’t break the rules of marriage. I’ve always kept my word and valued rules. It’s not my style to break rules.”
