After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Chapter 433 Moved

He Yi was taken aback, but looking at his innocent and lively daughter, he smiled and replied, "Yes."

The little girl immediately burst into laughter again, and linked arms with Gu Zhiyao, saying, "Mom, did you hear that? Dad has liked you for so long!"

Gu Zhiyao felt bewildered and truly annoyed, but she couldn't bring herself to vent her anger on her innocent daughter.

Aunt Zhang is good at reading people's expressions. She reminded everyone that it was time to eat, breaking the awkward situation.

The orphanage wasn't in great condition to begin with, but Niu Niu and Chen Chen didn't mind at all. Chen Chen was composed and steady, while Niu Niu continued to be lively and cheerful. They even taught some of the younger children how to eat and explained the names of the vegetables and how to grow them.

Everyone was amused by her and liked her very much.

Gu Zhiyao was very pleased to see this. Niu Niu was dressed smartly, and although she was obviously different from her childhood self, looking at Niu Niu was like seeing herself. It seemed like not long ago, she was the same age as Niu Niu, sitting here eating. In the blink of an eye, her daughter had grown up so much.

I can't help but marvel at how fast time flies.

Gu Zhiyao's eyes glistened with tears.

When Niu Niu saw this, she asked, "Mommy, what's wrong? Did you get choked by the chili peppers?"

Gu Zhiyao realized what was happening, quickly composed herself, and smiled, "Mom is very happy and gratified because Niu Niu is very sensible."

Niu Niu blushed slightly when praised, "That's only right!"

The meal was enjoyed in a cheerful atmosphere.

Even the hospital director said she couldn't believe she'd seen such a heartwarming scene.

The headmistress is really old; she'll be 70 this year. She's dedicated her whole life to this orphanage.

After lunch, Gu Zhiyao chatted with the elderly woman and helped tidy up her bed.

"Don't bother, let Xiao Zhang handle this," the dean said. "Your status is different now, don't do these things anymore."

Gu Zhiyao insisted on finishing tidying up, then returned to the dean's side, shaking her head and saying, "No matter how my identity changes, in my heart you will always be the dean's mother. It's only right that I help you tidy up your room since I rarely come back."

“You’ve always been such a sensible child. Kind people should be blessed.” The director paused for a moment, then continued, “Niu Niu’s father, I don’t know what happened between you two, but I think he’s a good person. In those years, everyone thought you were gone, but he often came to see us, bringing many things. He even asked us to renovate the orphanage, and he sponsored the children’s tuition. He also brought Chenchen to pay respects to you every year, from when Chenchen was one year old until he was five. Although I watched from afar and couldn’t hear what he was saying, I could tell he was very sad. The fact that he did this shows that he still cares about you.”

Gu Zhiyao's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly smiled. "Director, do you want me to get back together with him?"

“Uh… I don’t understand the things you young people do. I just think that you’ll eventually get married. Since he’s the father of your child and you’ve loved each other, why not give each other a chance?”

“He never loved me,” Gu Zhiyao said.

The director was taken aback. "Really? Even if he doesn't love you, you're still in his heart. I've never been in a relationship, but I can tell what it's like to love someone. He's a grown man, and he's insisted on bringing his child to see you for several years. Not everyone can do that."

"He brought Chenchen to pay respects to me only because he felt guilty and didn't want Chenchen to resent him when he grew up and learned the truth."

"Oh, you child, that's what you think. Well, I have nothing to say then. But no matter what, I still think it's a pity that you two broke up like this. That fire brought you together back then, and that fate is precious. Later, you even got married and had children, and the two children are so lovely. I can see that Niu Niu really likes this father. Even if it's for the sake of the children, you should really consider it?"

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, I'll handle things with him. Aunt Zhang said your health has been getting worse lately. You're only 70, you must take good care of yourself. Dean, I wish you a long and healthy life. I hope everyone is doing well." Gu Zhiyao choked up as she finished speaking.

The headmistress was also overcome with sadness. "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are things we can't avoid. I also hope to stay with you for a long, long time. Yes, I will take care of myself. I still want to see you get married and find your place. Xiao Zhang told me about your mother; she was a very pitiful person. Child, you must continue your mother's happiness so that her spirit in heaven can find comfort. Sometimes, you really shouldn't dwell on things too much. It's bad for your mood, and then many problems will arise. In this life, nothing is more important than life itself. Being alive is better than anything else."

Gu Zhiyao immediately burst into tears, "I know, I'll be fine. Come on, you should get some rest."

"it is good."

Presumably due to her advanced age and years of tireless work at the orphanage, the director's health has indeed been overloaded. At everyone's request, she now takes a nap every day.

Soon after, the headmistress fell asleep.

Looking at her frail figure, feeling life slipping away bit by bit, and wondering how many more times she would see this kind old woman, Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but burst into tears, feeling extremely sad.

Besides the dean, there's also her maternal grandmother and Grandma He; they will all grow old and eventually leave her forever.

By then, she will have fewer and fewer relatives around her as she gets older.

After staying for a while, Gu Zhiyao came out of the director's bedroom, her eyes still red and tears still flowing.

She came out and happened to run into He Yi.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment.

He Yi approached, his brows furrowing slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Zhiyao turned her face away and ignored him.

He Yi frowned even more. Seeing that she was about to walk away, he simply grabbed her arm. "Gu Zhiyao, what can we do to make things right for each other? Tell me what you want."

In the past, Gu Zhiyao would have taken the opportunity to berate him, and might even have said that she wanted him dead and that she would never forgive him in this lifetime!

But at this moment, she stared at him, unable to utter those words again.

She thought that perhaps it was because she had heard those words in the director's bedroom earlier, and the thought of the fragility of life and the helplessness in the face of the passage of time made her feel sad and unwilling to argue with him.

"I won't let you go. I've decided to win you back, marry you, and raise Chenchen and Niuniu together. You probably don't know, but I never give up on things I've decided to do. Why are you going against me? Gu Zhiyao, you will definitely marry me, and you will definitely become my wife, He Yi's wife!"
