Chapter 486 No More Entanglement
Did he listen to her and go back to China?
Gu Zhiyao looked around, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her, a feeling of relief mixed with an indescribable sense of unease.
Just then, Aunt Hua walked over. "You're awake?"
Gu Zhiyao nodded, "Where are Chenchen and Niuniu?"
"They went to school. Mr. He took them. They left at seven o'clock."
That's it!
Gu Zhiyao wanted to ask Aunt Hua if He Yi had revealed anything, but she held back in the end. She went to wash up, eat breakfast, and then went back to her workplace.
He Yi, after sending his child to school, went to the branch office.
"Judging from your expression, has the revolution failed? Gu Zhiyao still doesn't want to give you a chance? But don't be discouraged, you have an ace up your sleeve," Li Xin teased him.
trump card?
He once thought that this child was an opportunity given to him by God.
But I can still recall what happened last night.
He Yi's confidence is really disappearing little by little.
He had always been able to overcome any crisis or predicament he faced in his career, but he was completely lost in this matter and didn't know how to overcome her inner obstacles.
In the evening, he went to Gu Zhiyao's residence again and found Xiao Lin there as well.
Xiao Lin was both surprised and unsurprised by his appearance, and invited him to sit down and have a meal together.
What followed was another heartwarming scene. Niu Niu took good care of He Yi, and Gu Zhiyao watched silently. She was no longer as jealous or unhappy as before, perhaps because she had decided to entrust Niu Niu to him for upbringing.
After finishing their meal, Xiao Lin and He Yi went to the garden.
Xiao Lin opened a can of beer and handed it to He Yi, then asked, "Did you come because of Zhiyao's pregnancy?"
He Yi then admitted this. Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Zhiyao is more stubborn than I imagined. I'm not sure if she still loves you, but I think it will be very difficult for you to get her back. Of course, this is also your own doing; the hurt you caused her was too profound. So, I have a suggestion."
"Well, any suggestions?"
“Why don’t you try to put things aside for a while? You can come see the child, you can express your care and love, but don’t bring up the topic of getting back together with Zhiyao in front of her, don’t say you love her, and definitely don’t do anything uncontrollable intimate with her again.” Xiao Lin paused, her eyes revealing undisguised displeasure as she looked at He Yi. “Honestly, this pregnancy is quite infuriating. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s a little life, and Zhiyao couldn’t bear to let it go, she definitely wouldn’t have kept the child.”
He Yi's expression immediately turned somber.
"From my perspective, I'm inclined to let Zhiyao be with Yifei, as I've told you before. Although you and Zhiyao spent some time together six years ago, and she had several children for you, ask yourself honestly, how much do you really know about her? How many shared memories do you have? Do you truly love Zhiyao, or is it just because you're unwilling to accept it? Because you feel you should be with her, that you should make it up to her? Have you ever seriously thought about these things?"
“I…” He Yi was taken aback.
"Haven't you thought about this? Back then, you repeatedly indulged Zheng Yuanxi. You knew she had done many heinous things, but you still didn't punish her. I don't want to say whether it was because you loved her too much, but that's the impression you gave off. Not only me, but Zhiyao also felt that way. And shouldn't you face the truth of this? After all, you and Zheng Yuanxi were together for so many years. You were willing to pay any price for her, even sacrificing your marriage. If you didn't love Zheng Yuanxi, you wouldn't have done those things. And this is a problem that you, and even Zhiyao, dare not face, but that doesn't mean it's not in your heart. Perhaps it's because of this factor that Zhiyao has never been able to open her heart."
“Zhiyao’s inner conflict is already very deep. She’s been able to persevere because she’s always thinking about Chenchen and Niuniu. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened to her? Would she have gone crazy? Committed suicide? Now that she’s pregnant, her emotions will be going through a period of instability. If you insist on being aggressive, I’m worried she won’t be able to handle it. If such a tragic consequence occurs, you’ll regret it. He Yi, the hurt you’ve caused her has made her suffer for five years. How can you expect to win back her love in just a few months?”
These words were incisive and to the point. Although they made He Yi feel uncomfortable and unhappy, he had no way to refute them.
He fell into a long silence.
After a while, Xiao Lin continued, "As Zhiyao's family and friend, and someone who has been with her for many years, I want to ask you to stop pursuing her so relentlessly. Give each other some space and let things take their course. Who knows, you might be able to gradually break down her heart."
"Dad, Uncle Xiao?" Suddenly, a clear voice called out.
Everyone relaxed a bit when they saw Niu Niu's charming and cute figure.
Xiao Lin gave Niu Niu a loving look, then cast a meaningful glance at He Yi before leaving.
Niu Niu came up to He Yi and said, "Daddy, what's wrong? You don't seem very happy?"
He Yi gazed at his daughter's pretty and lovely face, then shook his head. "No, Dad was just thinking about some things."
"That's good. I'm most afraid of Daddy and Mommy being unhappy. Now that Mommy is pregnant, it's a joyous occasion, and we should be even happier," the little girl said innocently, climbing onto He Yi's lap.
He Yi felt a slight warmth in his throat. Remembering what Xiao Lin had just said to him, he gently helped the little girl up, kissed her forehead, and said, "Daddy might be going back to China in a few days. You have to be good then, listen to Mommy, and don't make her angry. Mommy is pregnant, and her mood is very important. You absolutely mustn't upset her, okay?"
"Huh? Daddy, are you going back?" the little girl asked immediately, her little mouth already pouting.
He Yi paused for a moment before replying, "Well, there are many things at the company back home that Dad needs to handle, so Dad can't be away for too long. Therefore, Dad has a task for you: to take good care of Mom in Dad's place, okay?"
Niu Niu tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Yes, I understand, Dad. I will try my best to complete the task!"
"So good!"
After spending some time with his daughter, He Yi returned to his room and chatted with his son in his room. When he came out of the living room later, he found the surroundings quiet and Gu Zhiyao and Xiao Lin were nowhere to be seen.
He thought for a moment and then went to Gu Zhiyao's bedroom.
Knock on the door.
The door opens.
Gu Zhiyao was stunned when she saw him.
He Yi simply stood at the door and said in a low voice, "I've booked a flight back to China for the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyao's pretty face froze again.
