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

Chapter 172 I feel so miserable

He Yi frowned.

Gu Zhiyao continued, "Is it because you've already given yourself to someone else? Zheng Yuanxi? Today is your wedding night, you must have done *that* kind of thing, right? I almost forgot. Hmm, you're married now, I can't do *that* kind of thing with you anymore, otherwise I'll be a mistress! And that would confirm the charges Wen Ya and Zheng Yuanxi leveled against me!"

The reason you refused is because you felt that you were married and couldn't betray Zheng Yuanxi anymore? You were so good to her. You gave her an unparalleled wedding of the century, making her a woman that everyone envied and worshipped. You protected her from any harm.

Aunt Li told me that as long as I wasn't married, she would try to win me over, and I tried my best. I thought my efforts had paid off, but it turns out I was just a clown. How ridiculous my wishful thinking was! I am who I am, and I can't compare to Zheng Yuanxi. She's the person you cherish most, the one you chose long ago. No matter how hard I try, I can never replace her!

He Yi's expression grew even more somber, and he remained silent.

Gu Zhiyao continued, "Then what are you doing here? Spring nights are fleeting, you should cherish every moment you spend with her. Why did you come here? Are you worried about the baby? Quan Xinyu should have told you everything, right? But don't worry, the baby is fine. He's the most important person to me, I won't let anything happen to him. Now that you know the situation, you can leave!"

He Yi didn't move, his deep, dark eyes fixed on her, his gaze shifting from looking to staring!

He was clearly in a bad mood, and his handsome face was frighteningly gloomy.

Gu Zhiyao felt no fear, only excruciating pain. She tried her best to hold back her tears, not wanting him to see her weakness and sorrow.

Because he won't feel sorry for you.

He might even lecture her, saying that her behavior is negatively impacting his child!

“I know what you’re thinking, and I’ll give you an explanation. I’ll protect the child and ensure his safe arrival into this world. But I have a request: I hope you won’t restrict my freedom anymore. My life will remain the same as before; I won’t run away. You can also send more people to follow me. I just hope I’m not imprisoned in this house like a criminal. You don’t want me to go crazy, do you? If my mood is affected, it won’t be good for the baby either. Of course, if you no longer care about this child…”

After saying this, Gu Zhiyao fell silent, and He Yi remained silent as well. Time passed in this terrifying silence. After a long while, a heavy slamming of the door broke the silence, and He Yi stormed out.

Gu Zhiyao collapsed weakly to the ground, tears falling silently, flowing more and more fiercely.

Aunt Li walked in and hugged her tightly, "Zhiyao, don't cry, don't cry!"

"Auntie, my heart aches so much. It feels like a piece of it has been hollowed out. Why wasn't I the one he loved? Auntie, what did I do wrong? My parents don't want me, and the person I love doesn't want me either. Why is this happening?" Gu Zhiyao burst into tears.

“Nothing of the sort, don’t overthink it, okay? Your parents may have their reasons, but as for your love life, there will always be someone who truly loves you, and you will find the happiness you deserve.” Aunt Li also began to sob.

"Will it? No, it's impossible, Auntie. I really want to leave here. I don't understand the meaning of my life. Fate is so unfair to me. What's the point of me living? Living is so painful. I might as well die. Dying would end it all. If I die, I won't have to suffer this pain or this injustice anymore!"

"You can't think like that, Zhiyao, you can't have such thoughts!" Aunt Li was shocked and hugged her tightly, advising, "Auntie knows you are very sad, even to the point of suffocation, but it will pass. Even if you have lost your parents and your lover, you still have your child."

That's your and Mr. He's child, the continuation of your lives, a blood relative in this world. You feel resentment and grief because your parents abandoned you, so naturally you can't do the same thing as your parents, right?

So, you must bring your baby into this world safely, so he can have love, live a good life, and never become another you. Auntie begs you, my dear girl, please, let's live on, okay? Only by living can there be hope.

Gu Zhiyao continued to cry uncontrollably, and Aunt Li also cried while holding her. In the end, Gu Zhiyao fell asleep in Aunt Li's arms.

Aunt Li couldn't sleep all night and dared not go to bed.

Moreover, she was pondering what to do next, how she could accompany Gu Zhiyao through these long days.

There was another person who stayed up all night: He Yi.

After leaving Gu Zhiyao's place, he didn't go back to the new house immediately. Instead, he drove around, his mind filled with the image of Gu Zhiyao crying, which he couldn't shake off.

He didn't return to the bridal chamber until 5 a.m., when Zheng Yuanxi was still asleep. He then went directly to the study and left for the factory around 7 a.m.

At this moment, Gu Zhiyao slowly woke up. She looked around blankly and thought about last night, feeling like she had just had a dream.

Yes, if only it were a dream!

Unfortunately, it wasn't a dream.

He married Zheng Yuanxi and never touched her again, even though she shamelessly seduced him, he remained unmoved.

Ha ha!

Tears streamed silently down Gu Zhiyao's cheeks again. She only stopped crying when Aunt Li came in a little while later.

With Aunt Li's help, I washed up, ate breakfast, went back to my room, and didn't come out again until noon for lunch, followed by dinner. That's how the day went.

Aunt Li suggested going downstairs for a walk, but Gu Zhiyao shook her head and replied that she didn't want to go.

And this continued for quite some time.

Gu Zhiyao had lost a lot of weight, which worried Aunt Li. She took the opportunity to call Quan Xinyu, but Quan Xinyu couldn't do anything about it and could only tell her to take good care of Gu Zhiyao.

It was time for another prenatal checkup.

When Dr. Zhou saw Gu Zhiyao, he was immediately taken aback, especially after examining all the findings, his brows furrowed deeply.

Gu Zhiyao used to get very nervous whenever Dr. Zhou frowned even slightly, thinking something was wrong with the baby. But now, she seemed not to see Dr. Zhou's expression at all; she was completely lost in her own world.

Dr. Zhou sighed and said, "Have you been eating properly lately? It's been half a month, and you've lost two pounds since then. Are you not planning to have the baby?"

Gu Zhiyao then realized what was happening and stared intently at the old doctor.

“I saw his wedding too. Even an old lady like me who doesn’t care about outside affairs could see those reports, which shows how grand it was. You started to become like this from then on, girl. You’re demeaning yourself. No one will feel sorry for you if you do this, they won’t even know. So why bother?” Dr. Zhou almost cried.
