Chapter 1272: The Most Loyal Ally 4

In the past, there was some apprehension, often hiding things. However, as the pregnancy progressed, any sense of restraint vanished without a trace. She started commanding him left and right, more and more brazenly.

Gradually, it became second nature.

Moreover, she no longer fears him saying things like, “Xixi, you need to learn to be independent; you must never lose the courage to live as an individual.” Seriously, after getting married, he hasn’t spouted that kind of wisdom anymore.

Especially since getting pregnant, he’s been even quieter.

At this point, she doesn’t need to learn anything about independence and self-reliance — don’t believe it? Lie down and vomit every day to give it a try!

She instructed him with justified confidence.

He certainly didn’t dare refuse, accepting it willingly.

Lately, he’s been more docile than a meek lamb.

Occasionally, she herself wondered: back in the day, this man was like a paper tiger, seemingly frightening. Even when pampering and loving, he would still hammer down hard, never accommodating excessively without principles — but now, look!

He’s almost like the legendary docile husband.

Why did he change so drastically after getting married?

Just as she wore pajamas, careless, her face sallow — during the first pregnancy, she was terrified of letting him see her ugly side, never facing him without makeup.

Now, she couldn’t care less.

His hand gently pressed on her shoulder, giving it a few squeezes, teasing with a smile: “Silly girl, many pregnant women nowadays are afraid their husbands will stray during pregnancy, aren’t you the least bit worried?”

She answered bluntly: “No!”

He was surprised: “So confident? Or are you so sure of my character?”

“Not at all, not at all.”

“Then do tell.”

“Haha, I’ve never believed in moral power, but now how would you stray? You must calculate the price and costs of cheating!”

“…”

“If you dare to stray, I’ll daringly split half your assets and run away, causing you huge economic losses. Furthermore, if handled badly, I’ll kick you out of the house…”

He raised an eyebrow: “You dare to chase me away?”

“Why wouldn’t I dare? Empress Dowager added my name to the old house’s deed. I can chase you away. After kicking you out, we’ll move to Switzerland to live permanently; Empress Dowager has already bought a house for the grandchild in Switzerland… haha, am I afraid of you?”

“…”

“Even Emperor Tang Ming loved Yang Guifei dearly, he couldn’t help but secretly tangle with other concubines… Wu Sangui dared sell out the nation for Chen Yuanyuan, but she was only one of his many concubines…”

“I never believed in the power of self-discipline. You know, anyone can maintain self-discipline for a year or half a year, but ten or eight years, decades? Countless hypocrites are made this way. But I believe in legal constraints…”

If the law defined: with one act of extramarital affair, assets are automatically confiscated or must leave with nothing, then the number of unfaithful men and women would be pitifully few.

She boasted contentedly: “I never believed you were a paragon of virtue… but I absolutely believe you would never endure family division or asset forfeiting for any insignificant fling. Isn’t that right?”

“…”

She pointed at his nose: “From now on, only I and our little buddy are your loyal allies. You must also stay devoted to us. Understand?”
