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

Chapter 322 Yifei's Heartwarming Moments

"Mom probably saw that I had just returned home and was not familiar with this place, so she was worried that I wouldn't be able to adjust. She tried to spend as much time as possible with me to help me settle in. If you were me, Mom would do the same. So don't overthink it. Since you and I are both Mom's children, Mom will naturally treat us equally and love us both the same!"

"really?"

"Really, and I will love you too. You see, you have double the love."

"That's right, but brother, I love you too!"

"Okay, don't overthink it anymore. We love each other and are happy!"

"I'll listen to my brother. I'm sorry, Mom. I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart. I know you love me just as much as you love your brother."

Gu Zhiyao was so moved that tears streamed down her face. She hugged them tightly and choked out, "Yes, you are both the most precious people to me. I love you both so much! But I still want to apologize to Niu Niu. I did neglect you because of work before. I will try my best to make up for it in the future."

“Okay, Mom, it’s okay. Even if you don’t have time to spend with us, we won’t blame you. Brother Yifei has told me this many times. He told me to understand Mom and support her, saying that Mom is the person who loves me the most!”

Gu Zhiyao was moved again upon hearing this, and the image of Yifei flashed through her mind.

She had been back in Canada for half a month and could clearly feel the changes in Yifei. Just as he had said, he tried not to cause her any trouble, so he didn't appear as often as before or take Niu Niu away.

She understood why he did this, but she couldn't help feeling a sense of loss and guilt. She felt that she had restricted him. It was his life, and he could do whatever he wanted. He could choose not to contact her, but he liked Niu Niu so much that he could take her out. In order not to cause her any trouble, he even gave up Niu Niu.

The more Gu Zhiyao thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and even a little panicked. So she said, "Niu Niu, do you miss Brother Yifei? How about we invite Brother Yifei to dinner?"

"Really? I don't know if Brother Yifei will be free. Every time I look for him, he says he's busy studying for his degree."

"Okay, let's ask." Gu Zhiyao said, then took out her phone and dialed Yifei's number.

The call was answered almost instantly.

Gu Zhiyao was taken aback for a moment, then casually replied, "Yifei."

"Zhiyao, what brings you here? Is something wrong with Niu Niu, or Chenchen?" Yifei asked.

Her gentle voice is as comforting and moving as ever.

Gu Zhiyao sniffed and said, "Niu Niu and Chen Chen are both fine, don't worry. We just thought we hadn't seen you in a long time and were planning to ask you out for dinner. When are you free? Are you free recently?"

"Eat... Okay, I'm free, we can eat tomorrow!" Yifei quickly replied.

Gu Zhiyao smiled unconsciously. "Then let's eat at a restaurant near the municipal government in the morning and afternoon. I have to go back to the office for a meeting in the morning and I'll be busy in the afternoon. How about we eat at a restaurant near the municipal government? I'll have Aunt Hua take Chenchen and Niuniu there."

“Actually, I can pick up Chenchen and Niuniu and then come over to meet you,” Yifei said.

"Are you coming to pick me up in person? Is that convenient?"

“It’s convenient. I just finished my exams yesterday and have a few days off, so I’ve decided to go tomorrow morning. I’ll play with Niu Niu and Chen Chen for a while first, and then I’ll set a time to come see you.”

"In that case, let's arrange it that way. Thank you, Yifei."

"You're welcome."

Gu Zhiyao handed the phone to Niu Niu so that Niu Niu could chat with Yi Fei and Chen Chen. Seeing their excited and happy expressions, her vision blurred again.

The next day, Yifei arrived at Gu Zhiyao's place early. Gu Zhiyao had already gone to work. Aunt Hua greeted him. Everyone was quite familiar with each other, so he felt at ease. He played with Niu Niu and Chen Chen until about eleven o'clock, then took the two little ones to find Gu Zhiyao.

After everyone met, Gu Zhiyao glanced at Yifei thoughtfully for a few moments, then smiled and said, "You seem a bit darker? Or is it just my imagination?"

"She's gotten tanned. Niu Niu noticed it this morning. She went to give an outdoor thesis presentation with her supervisor a while ago and was exposed to the sun for several days in a row. She's recovered a lot in the last two days."

“But it doesn’t matter if a boy is a little tanned. It makes him look healthy and energetic. I’d be happy if Chenchen wanted to participate in some outdoor activities,” Gu Zhiyao said.

Yifei smiled sheepishly, gazing intently at her with deep affection and longing in his eyes. However, he quickly suppressed this affection before Gu Zhiyao could notice.

We had lunch at a Chinese restaurant. With Niu Niu, the social butterfly, around, there was no need to worry about the atmosphere being quiet or awkward. However, the little girl hadn't seen Yi Fei for a long time and kept saying how much she missed him. She even asked Yi Fei if we could meet more often in the future and not go through such long intervals again.

Yifei looked at the little girl's expectant face, and his heart immediately melted. He then looked at Gu Zhiyao and replied to Niu Niu, "Okay, I'll try my best. There won't be as many things to do next, so I should be able to see you more often."

"It's a deal then. And with you coming over, Mom won't have to spend so much time with me and my brother, so she can focus on her work."

"Are you very busy with work?" Yi Fei asked Gu Zhiyao.

"I've been back in China for a while now, and there's been a lot of things piling up here, but it's all within my expectations. I just wanted to spend more time with Chenchen since he just got back, so he can adjust as soon as possible," Gu Zhiyao explained with a smile.

"Then I'll contact them more often in the future," Yifei said.

"Well, we'll see. If I'm really too busy, I'll ask you to take care of them. Thank you for your help."

“It’s no trouble at all. I like them too, and I also want Chenchen to adapt as soon as possible.” Then, Yifei took the opportunity to chat with Chenchen.

After all, they were already familiar with each other as family, and Chenchen was noticeably more lively. Gu Zhiyao watched silently, feeling grateful to Yifei.

After finishing her meal, she had to go back to work at the municipal government, so she naturally left the two little ones with Yifei. Yifei reassured her to focus on her work, and his gentle and considerate manner was truly heartwarming.

Gu Zhiyao's work efficiency was also exceptionally high in the afternoon. She finished her work around 5 o'clock and then went home.

But when she got home, she found that Niu Niu and Chen Chen hadn't returned yet. When she asked, she learned that Yi Fei had continued to take them out to play.

"I should be back by 6:30," Yifei said.

"It's alright, take your time. We'll have dinner here tonight before you leave. By the way, what would you like to eat? Aunt Hua and I will prepare it."

"Are you going to cook yourself? I like whatever you make, just do what you think is best." Yifei's tone revealed a hint of joy.

Gu Zhiyao smiled slightly. "Okay, I understand."
