“Aiya, you should have asked me! I’m an expert at knitting and know all kinds of patterns. I can teach you! I’ll definitely teach you everything unreservedly!”
Chu He was amused. “Are you serious? I’m clumsy and a slow learner.”
“Don’t worry! I’m very patient. Just bring the materials over on the day and I’ll draw a pattern for you. I guarantee that you’ll get it very quickly!”
“Oh!”
Chu He was tempted.
That woman continued, “Actually, I know that you’re probably afraid that you might have caused some unhappiness in the group and that it would be awkward for you to meet them. But it’s alright. We’re all mothers, so we have no bad intentions. Actually, that woman has been upset and already unhappy. Given what you said, wouldn’t you be suspected of attracting hatred?”
Chu He smiled. “I’m not angry anymore. I had good intentions and felt that it was wrong for a man to have an affair. In the end, she became unreasonable and argued with me. Actually, I don’t have to say so much to her. I’m living my own life and it’s not for others to criticize me. I’m not angry anymore. I just feel wronged!”
She shouldn’t have been so kind. They would have thought that she was showing off since they did not share the same frequency. But what she had said was true!
“Then it’s settled!” That person probed again, “Will your husband come then?”
“Eh?” Chu He sent an emoticon with a confused expression. “Why should my husband be there?”
“Aiya, it’s good that your husband comes along to interact too! It’s not appropriate to leave him alone at home when you’re out!”
The event was taking place on a Sunday. She had thought that Gu Jinglian would not be at work. In reality, although Gu Jinglian had rest days, they were not fixed days. He could rest any time he wanted to. However, most of the time, he didn’t take any breaks.
On Sunday, if Chu He didn’t need to go for a prenatal checkup and didn’t have anything important to do, Gu Jinglian would still go into the office, but he would be home earlier than usual.
Chu He replied, “My husband is busy. He probably won’t go.”

“Ah… do come together! Doesn’t your husband rest on Sunday?”
“No he doesn’t.”
“He works so hard?!” That person sent a smiling emoticon. “Is your husband a salaryman? Which company does he work at?”
However, Chu He was not willing to talk too much about Gu Jinglian’s profession. Hence, she changed the topic and said, “Now that I know about the event, I will be there. I’ll get you to teach me how to knit the cotton-padded clothes for my baby on that day!”
“It’s no big deal. As long as you’re here, I’ll teach you.”
After ending the conversation hurriedly, Chu He put down her phone and saw Gu Jinglian walking out of the bathroom.
When she saw him, she recalled the conversation they had earlier in the group chat and started to feel somewhat uncomfortable!
Sitting on the bed, she called out to him, “Gu Jinglian, I have a question for you.” Even though they were married, she was still used to calling him by his full name.
The man turned around and raised an eyebrow as he towel-dried his wet hair. “What’s up?”
“Let me ask you a question!”
“Yeah, go ahead.”
“What’s your opinion where extramarital affairs are concerned?”
“Extramarital affairs!?” Confusion flashed across Gu Jinglian’s eyes. “Why are you asking this?”
“I want to know your opinion on this matter!” Chu He added, “It’s just a question that came to mind, no other reason!”
