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

Chapter 157 Surprises Given to Each Other

Zheng Yuanxi kept a close eye on him and continued, "We didn't talk, not a word. She probably didn't want to see me, so she left quickly."

He Yi's expression returned to normal, and he replied with a faint "oh".

Zheng Yuanxi naturally couldn't continue the conversation, so she changed the subject to something else. That evening, He Yi returned to Gu Zhiyao's place.

When Gu Zhiyao saw him, she immediately recalled the scene of meeting Zheng Yuanxi at the maternity and baby store during the day. She wondered if Zheng Yuanxi had told him, or if she had spread rumors and taken the opportunity to complain about him.

However, Gu Zhiyao wasn't afraid. She noticed that his expression naturally became colder than usual. After glancing at him a few times, she prepared to return to her dormitory.

He Yi followed him in.

Gu Zhiyao was taken aback.

Then, to her surprise, he walked straight to the wardrobe, rummaged through her clothes, picked out a light purple maternity dress, and returned to her.

"What... is wrong?" Gu Zhiyao asked hesitantly.

"Now do you change your clothes yourself or does Aunt Li help you? Can you change by yourself? Or do you need me to help you?" He Yi asked.

Gu Zhiyao frowned, looked at him coldly, and said, "He Yi, what exactly do you want? Why do you want me to change my clothes? I want to sleep."

"I'll take you to see the stars," He Yi said.

Gu Zhiyao froze.

Stargazing?

He said...really?

Is he planning to take her to the lab again?

but……

"Let me change you." He Yi seemed not to notice her questioning and slightly cold gaze, and began to unbutton her pajamas.

When Gu Zhiyao came to his senses, he found that his shirt had been completely undone, exposing a large expanse of fair skin to the air. His eyes were fixed on it, and he stopped moving.

Gu Zhiyao's pretty face flushed, and she subconsciously pulled up her clothes, but He Yi reached out and pressed her down, his fingertips just brushing against her chest.

Gu Zhiyao trembled immediately, her breathing becoming erratic.

"You... let go!" she said in a trembling voice.

Originally, He Yi simply wanted to help her change her clothes. Even though he was a little distracted when he saw the beautiful spring scenery just now, he didn't have any particular thoughts. But now, as his fingers brushed over a certain spot, some enchanting images from the past quickly surfaced in his mind. His eyes suddenly darkened, his breathing became heavy, and his slender fingers began to wander unconsciously.

Gu Zhiyao trembled repeatedly. Reason told her to stop him, but she found herself speechless. This touch reminded her of some beautiful moments from the past, making her fascinated, excited, nostalgic, and yearning.

"Gu Zhiyao, you're such a little vixen!" A suppressed and hoarse murmur broke the silence.

Gu Zhiyao noticed that his hand had left her and he had helped her change her clothes.

She looked up and met his burning gaze, which held a hint of mockery.

Gu Zhiyao's pretty face immediately turned red. She subconsciously tried to push him away, but he pulled her into his arms and led her out of the room, all the way to the garage.

He drove himself, placed her in the passenger seat, and glanced at her every now and then while driving.

Gu Zhiyao was still a little dazed, as if she were dreaming.

His thoughts were still lingering on what had just happened, on those enchanting scenes, as his fingers traced her skin inch by inch.

"Come on, get off the bus."

He Yi's shout rang out, and Gu Zhiyao finally calmed down. She looked around and realized that this time they were not going to the He Group's science and technology innovation center, but to another large white oval building.

Where is this?

Puzzled, she followed He Yi into the building and all the way to the rooftop, where she was immediately stunned.

The huge rooftop is filled with all sorts of astronomical instruments, the most eye-catching of which is the giant telescope in the center.

Gu Zhiyao was so excited that she almost rushed over, but she calmed down and looked at the scene in front of her with shock and surprise.

He Yi walked to the middle and began to fiddle with the binoculars.

As he worked on it, he asked her, "Gu Zhiyao, what did you major in?"

Gu Zhiyao was taken aback. She was a legal professional, so what other major could she study? She replied rather irritably, "Law."

"Why did you choose law? Don't you find it boring?" he asked very seriously.

How could it not be boring?

She chose law because she once saw on the news that his group had been embroiled in a major scandal due to the negligence of a legal staff member. The scandal had a significant impact at the time, and although he sincerely apologized in the face of public condemnation and eventually calmed things down, the incident was deeply etched in her mind.

So she thought she would study law well, then work for the group, and do her best to help him.

Although this is just her dream, and she may not be able to get in, and even if she does, she may not be able to control everything, after all, such a large group has dozens of employees in its legal department, but she just wants to give it a try.

"And you? What did you choose as your major in college?" Gu Zhiyao asked him in return.

"Economics and management, and finance, and then I went to MIT to get a master's degree in engineering," he answered seriously.

In fact, some of his personal information, including his education and honors, was recorded in the company's introduction, which she had already read, but she never thought he would say it out loud.

She had only asked casually and hadn't expected his answer, but he did.

Gu Zhiyao stared at him blankly, feeling a strange sensation in her heart. Before she could figure out what it was, she heard him say again, "Are you interested in changing careers and studying astronomy? My childhood dream was to become an astronomer. I think the universe is a very mysterious and interesting place, and I want to explore what I want to know."

"Why did you stop studying later?" Gu Zhiyao asked.

He Yi paused for a moment, his expression darkening slightly, and then said, "Because I am a member of the He family, and my grandmother chose me long ago to inherit the family business. My life is all about doing business, so I have no time to observe the mysteries of the universe."

For some reason, Gu Zhiyao sensed a hint of loss and melancholy when he said those words, and then she couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness in her heart.

Many children from wealthy families appear to have a glamorous life, full of power and influence, but this may not be the life they truly desire. They are simply given this mission and honor from a young age.

“You can continue this interest in your spare time, and the company’s business can also expand in this direction. Now is a period of transformation or upgrading for many industries. If done well, it will be a leap for the He Group. It may become another kind of glory and legend, and you will be recorded in the history books.” Gu Zhiyao said softly.

He Yi looked at her with surprise, his deep black eyes shining with a different kind of light. Her ideas were indeed good, and they were exactly what he had thought of before. He never expected that such a small woman would have such grand ideas.
