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

Chapter 210 He Yi is coming

Gu Zhiyao didn't say much about the election, because she had to go back to work at the municipal government later. Actually, she was already very busy. Niu Niu suddenly disappeared, so she had to come out. She just happened to be having lunch during her lunch break, and since it was almost time to go back to work in the afternoon, she couldn't stay any longer.

Although Tan Yifei was somewhat disappointed, he didn't want to bother her. He hesitated for a long time before mustering up the courage to ask Gu Zhiyao for her phone number. Gu Zhiyao gave it to him, and seeing his excited and thrilled expression, as if he had won the lottery, she couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Thinking back to how we met in China, and then unexpectedly met again abroad, and how Niu Niu really likes him, I guess this is a special kind of fate.

Later, everyone parted ways.

Aunt Hua took Niu Niu home, and Gu Zhiyao went straight back to the municipal government. Before parting, the little girl held Tan Yifei's hand and said reluctantly, "Brother Yifei, will we really see each other again next time? You already have my mother's phone number, remember to call me, okay? If I call you, will you find it troublesome?"

"No, we will definitely meet again."

"It's a deal then, I'll invite you to my house next time."

Tan Yifei glanced at Gu Zhiyao and replied, "Okay!"

The taxi arrived, and Aunt Hua took Niu Niu into the car.

Gu Zhiyao turned around and smiled at Tan Yifei, "I'm sorry."

“It’s alright, Niu Niu is very cute, I like her very much, and what I just said was from the bottom of my heart,” Tan Yifei said directly.

Gu Zhiyao said goodbye to him again, and then walked towards where she had parked her car.

Tan Yifei watched her until she was out of sight, then hailed a taxi and headed straight for his residence.

He spent the entire afternoon searching online for information about the latest executive vice mayor. The more he read, the more shocked he became. Although the internet didn't go into detail about her situation over the past few years, he could imagine how difficult it must have been for a woman from China to overcome so many obstacles and become a high-ranking official in this city.

Therefore, while he admired her, he also felt sorry for her and was filled with doubt.

He could tell she wasn't the kind of woman with a strong sense of ambition. What made her willing to endure so much hardship to pursue this profession? What exactly happened between her and that man back then? How did Niu Niu get pregnant? What was the relationship between Niu Niu's father and her?

The biographical entry doesn't mention her husband; it only states that she is married.

It seems he can only learn about it gradually.

Didn't Niu Niu say she'd invite him to her house next time, so she could see her husband then?

Tan Yifei felt a surge of anticipation, wishing that day would come immediately.

buzzing...

Just then, his phone rang.

It's my uncle!

Tan Yifei quickly answered the call, his tone as respectful as ever, "Uncle!"

He Yi's deep, magnetic voice came through the phone, "Have you decided when you're coming back to China? I might be going there next week to attend an economic conference. Do you want to come back with me?"

Tan Yifei paused for a moment, then resolutely said, "Uncle, I may not be planning to go back for the time being."

"You weren't planning to come back, but didn't you say a few days ago..."

"Yes, but now... I want to get another degree."

"You want to continue your studies?" He Yi was at a loss for words.

This is a good thing, and it makes sense, but for some reason he feels something is off. Is it because things happened so suddenly?

However, considering that Yifei is already an adult and 25 years old, he has the right to decide his own life, and even if he is an elder, he cannot interfere or stop him.

He Yi didn't say much more, but asked, "Have you discussed this plan with your mother?"

"Not yet. I might need your help, Uncle, to persuade her."

"Hehe, there's no need to worry too much about that. Your mother has already started to look at you differently because of the changes you've undergone in recent years. She'll be even more pleased if you stay here to continue your studies."

"Yeah, just in case."

"Sure, if your mom can't handle it, just talk to your uncle."

"Okay!" Tan Yifei exclaimed excitedly. "By the way, Uncle, how's Zeze doing lately? Has he grown up a bit? I haven't video chatted with him in ages. Can you send me a recent photo?"

"Okay, I'll send it to you later. I'll come over next week, and we'll talk again when we meet."

"Okay, Uncle."

After the call ended, Tan Yifei quickly received a photo from He Yi on WeChat. The photo showed a very handsome little boy who looked a lot like his uncle. In fact, he also looked somewhat like Tan Yifei, since nephews usually resemble their uncles, and Zeze naturally looked like him too.

Therefore, Tan Yifei really liked this little brother.

Looking at the little guy's photo, Tan Yifei suddenly remembered Niu Niu's appearance and then realized that Niu Niu and Ze Ze looked a bit alike.

Ha ha!

It seems he was mistaken.

Because he liked both of them and they were about the same age, he subconsciously felt that they were similar.

Next, Tan Yifei flipped through Gu Zhiyao's phone and tried to enter the number into WeChat, but unfortunately, he couldn't find the relevant WeChat ID. He stared at the number absentmindedly.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhiyao was enjoying her dinner.

"Niu Niu, come here and try the cheese lobster Daddy made for you. Remember to give it a good review!" Xiao Lin picked up a delicious lobster that was longer than his palm and placed it in front of Niu Niu.

The little girl immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, Daddy, five-star review!"

Gu Zhiyao was immediately amused and smiled broadly. She subconsciously exchanged a glance with Xiao Lin, and when Xiao Lin picked up another one for her, she quickly said thank you.

After a delicious dinner, Xiao Lin went to his study to do some work, while Gu Zhiyao took Niu Niu to bathe and rest.

Niu Niu is used to listening to her stories before bed, but today the little girl kept talking about Brother Yifei and seemed uninterested in the stories.

Seeing her enthusiastic expression, Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but think of what happened during the day. She took the opportunity to teach the little girl a lesson, but the little girl pouted and said, "I know Brother Yifei isn't a bad person. I feel like he's my family."

"Relatives?" Gu Zhiyao was taken aback.

"Yes. I feel like Yifei is a blood relative of mine!"

Gu Zhiyao was embarrassed, but luckily the little girl didn't say it was her father.

She didn't take her daughter's words to heart and continued, "Niu Niu, next time, would it be better if you called him 'Uncle'? That would show more respect for him."

To everyone's surprise, the little girl immediately shook her head, "No, it's brother, I love calling him brother!"

Gu Zhiyao continued to feel embarrassed. Could it be that this girl has taken a fancy to him?

But she was only five years old.

Gu Zhiyao then realized she was overthinking things.

Shaking off this ridiculous thought, I continued chatting with the little girl, and before long she finally fell asleep.

Gu Zhiyao continued to sit by the bed, staring intently at her daughter, but her mind drifted away, thinking of another child, another precious baby who had left her shortly after birth.

Baby, please wait a little longer, Mommy will bring you back soon! Please wait, okay?

She murmured to herself, tears welling in her eyes.
