Chapter 39 Keep the child
The journey was silent; everyone remained still, each lost in their own thoughts.
Suddenly, He Yi's phone rang.
He looked visibly excited when he saw the caller ID.
This was the first time Zheng Yuanxi had called him since all these things happened.
On the phone, Zheng Yuanxi's voice returned to its usual gentle tone, "Ayi, are you busy with work?"
He Yi's spirits rose even higher. "I have some errands to run outside. How are you feeling today?"
"I'm feeling alright. I suddenly remembered the Lok Kee pastries you used to buy for me, and I really want to try them again."
Since his secret marriage with Gu Zhiyao was exposed, Zheng Yuanxi has not ignored him, but he can clearly feel that a wall has been built between them, and Zheng Yuanxi must resent him.
Therefore, when he heard Zheng Yuanxi say this, he replied without hesitation, "I'll go buy it right away, and I can bring it to you in about half an hour."
"You're going now? Aren't you busy outside?" Zheng Yuanxi asked hesitantly.
"It's nothing, I'm all done with work. Oh, by the way, I have some good news for you."
"good news?"
I'll tell you when we get there.
"Okay, then be careful."
"Okay, see you later." He Yi hung up the phone, still unable to hide his excitement.
Gu Zhiyao saw all of this, her body trembled, and her stomach seemed to hurt again.
His phone didn't leak sound, but she could guess it was Zheng Yuanxi calling, since only Zheng Yuanxi could make him become so gentle in an instant.
And he seemed very happy.
Has Zheng Yuanxi forgiven him?
Yes.
The man who loved her so much, even if he had been married and had done *that* with other women, it was all to save her. Any woman would be moved by that. Even if Zheng Yuanxi couldn't accept it at the time, she would eventually let it go.
Gu Zhiyao suddenly felt like a clown, and some words just slipped out, "He Yi, why do you love Zheng Yuanxi so much?"
He Yi frowned as he looked at her, his expression returning to its coldness.
Gu Zhiyao smiled in a way that others couldn't decipher. "Is it just because she's pretty, from a good family, and very capable, or is there another reason?"
"Why are you asking these questions?" He Yi said in a deep voice.
"I...I'm curious. There are so many women in the city, yet you're not tempted by any of them, only Zheng Xiyuan. What special magic does she possess? Has she helped you? What meaningful past have you shared?" Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but want to tell that story.
However, He Yi interrupted her without any politeness, "This is not something you should be asking about! Gu Zhiyao, I have already allowed the child to stay as you requested. You better not try anything funny. Since you have decided to go abroad, don't come back. Just stay there and I will have Quan Xinyu transfer another sum of money to your salary card."
Ah!
Gu Zhiyao's heart clenched, and the words she was about to say shattered into fragments.
Looking at his cold and ruthless handsome face, so different from the gentleness he showed when answering Zheng Yuanxi's call, a sudden surge of resentment welled up inside her!
I really want to go all out and tell him the truth about what happened back then.
But when she touched her belly and thought of the baby, she gave up the idea.
What's the point of saying it?
He and Zheng Yuanxi already had such a deep relationship, even if he remembered this special past, it couldn't outweigh his love for Zheng Yuanxi.
Forget it, Gu Zhiyao, since this is fate, just accept it. You have a new faith in your life, and someone more precious to cherish.
You must protect the baby!
Give birth to him and watch him grow up.
The rest can be considered fleeting moments, like a passing cloud.
Gu Zhiyao stopped talking and asked Quan Xinyu to stop the car when they reached the next subway station. Quan Xinyu glanced at He Yi and then pulled over. Gu Zhiyao opened the car door and got out.
The car drove back onto the bustling road, and Gu Zhiyao watched it drive away for a long time, her vision blurred by tears.
He Yi remained expressionless in the car, his face cold and his thoughts unfathomable. After a while, he instructed Quan Xinyu, "Go to Taihe Plaza in the west of the city."
Upon hearing this, Quan Xinyu realized that He Yi was preparing to buy Zheng Yuanxi's favorite pastries.
For some reason, Quan Xinyu felt a pang of sadness. The image of Gu Zhiyao squatting at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, covering her face and crying, flashed through his mind.
He didn't pay attention to every single employee in the company, but he did keep an eye on Gu Zhiyao, not only because of her outstanding work ability, but also because of her good reputation in the company.
Gu Zhiyao is low-key, simple, and hardworking. Unlike those women who are infatuated with CEOs, her condition for marriage is probably simply because she loves the CEO. After all, the marriage contract is only for three months. Even if she is pregnant with CEO He's child, she would not think of using the child to gain status or achieve some ulterior motive.
Thinking of this, Quan Xinyu couldn't help but think of He Yi again.
He never expected that President He would let Gu Zhiyao keep the child, since keeping the child would lead to many uncertainties in the future.
If Zheng Yuanxi finds out, she probably won't be able to accept it.
"Full-time assistant?"
He Yi called out, his tone not very friendly.
Quan Xinyu then realized they had arrived at their destination. He quickly stopped the car, apologized to He Yi, and He Yi glanced at him thoughtfully before getting out of the car.
Quan Xinyu watched He Yi's departing figure, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to think about what had just happened, speculating whether President He had any special feelings for Gu Zhiyao.
The conclusion is yes!
Otherwise, given President He's personality and his fastidious approach to love, it's impossible for him to have a relationship with a complete stranger, let alone get her pregnant and have the child born.
