Chapter 582 Mr. He's Life as a Soon-to-be Father
He Yi was immediately stunned and clicked his tongue, "This is too fast! I told him not to mess with Xiaoyu before, but now he's taken advantage of her. Doesn't this mean they're destined to be together?"
"It seems Xiaoyu has fallen in love with him, but I don't know if his feelings for her are genuine, or how long they will last," Gu Zhiyao said worriedly. "And didn't you say his family is wealthy? Will his parents accept Xiaoyu? What about his other siblings? After all, Xiaoyu comes from an ordinary background, and there's that incident..."
Seeing Gu Zhiyao's worried expression, He Yi quickly said, "Alright, don't worry so much. I think Zhuang Yi has thought all this through. Although Zhuang Yi was a bit of a playboy in the past, he's charming but not lewd. I can tell he really wants to settle down. Xiaoyu should be good with him. I'll ask him for his opinion when I get back. As for his family, don't worry too much. He's not a child; he can handle them!"
“You’re friends and business partners, so he should listen to you. People say birds of a feather flock together. If he’s really unreliable, you’re not allowed to hang out with him anymore!”
"Yes, my dear wife! Even if he's unreliable, I'll try my best to change him! Of course, that's just a joke. Since he's willing to date Xiaoyu with marriage as the premise, it means he has the intention. As for how long they can last after marriage, or whether they can grow old together, nobody can say for sure. People say that marriage is a matter of fate, and isn't that true?"
At this point, everyone suddenly paused for a moment.
He Yi quickly smiled again, "Of course, we will definitely grow old together."
Gu Zhiyao nodded and changed the subject, "Are you busy with work over there? Remember to take a break."
"Yes, I will. Don't worry."
Although she said she wasn't worried, Gu Zhiyao still couldn't let go of her worries, because she always remembered that he had donated a kidney to Yifei, and his brain disease. Although he hadn't been in any problems recently, who knew what might happen to him one day?
Thinking of this, Gu Zhiyao felt a pang of sadness and murmured, "Husband, I miss you."
He Yi was taken aback, then said happily, "I miss you too. I can go back tomorrow at noon."
"Ah."
Then everyone started exchanging sweet nothings until about 10 o'clock.
"You're pregnant now, so you need to rest early, okay? I'm going back tomorrow at noon."
"I know, don't worry about me. Be careful over there and take good care of yourself."
"Yes!"
They gazed at each other silently, their eyes filled with unspoken affection, and then finally the video call ended.
Gu Zhiyao thought for a moment and then called Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu said gratefully, "Thank you so much, sister. I'm so sorry to trouble you with such a small thing. My brother-in-law is so busy with work, and I'm so sorry to have to ask him to worry about this."
“How can this be considered a small matter? Since you are my sister, he wouldn’t dare to take your marriage lightly. Besides, Zhuang Yi is his good friend and business partner. He’s also afraid that if Zhuang Yi hurts you, I’ll hold a grudge against him. But he said that Zhuang Yi genuinely wants to spend his life with you. Since he’s made this decision, he should have thought things through. Xiaoyu, if you really like him too, then give it a try. Just like what I told you today.”
"Okay, sister, I will."
Xiaoyu thanked him again and hung up the phone.
The next day at noon, He Yi returned on time and immediately reported Zhuang Yi's news to Gu Zhiyao. Just as he said, Zhuang Yi had admitted everything and expressed his desire to settle down, marry Xiaoyu, and take responsibility for her.
"I've already asked him seriously, and since he said that, there's nothing to worry about. Can you trust me?"
"Actually, I already told Xiaoyu last night."
"Really?" He Yi was delighted. "Wife, thank you for trusting me so much!"
Gu Zhiyao smiled gently.
He Yi's gaze then gradually slid to her abdomen, and he said, "Baby, have you been good? You haven't been bothered, have you?"
Gu Zhiyao was taken aback, then chuckled, "He's probably just an embryo right now, the size of a tiny bean, and doesn't have any thoughts yet, President He."
He Yi awkwardly touched his nose, but still reached out and placed his hand on her belly. "Baby, you have to be good and don't bother your mommy. Daddy will reward you well when you come out."
Gu Zhiyao burst into laughter again, gazing at him tenderly before nestling against his chest. "I missed you so much!"
“It’s a pity we can’t do that right now,” He Yi said.
Gu Zhiyao was embarrassed.
"Hehe, just kidding. I miss you too, honey, I love you!"
Hearing his loving words repeated countless times every day, Gu Zhiyao remained unchanged, nestled against his chest for a long time, enveloped in happiness.
Next, Gu Zhiyao officially entered her pregnancy.
He Yi truly treated her like a queen, constantly paying attention to her situation. At home, it goes without saying that he would send her a message almost every half hour after everyone went to work, and then call her every hour. Sometimes, when Gu Zhiyao didn't have time to reply, he would contact Lin Houze.
"If I hadn't experienced it myself, I really wouldn't have known he was this kind of person. He's so different from his appearance. Sigh, seeing you two so happy and sweet makes me want to find someone to have a proper relationship with," Lin Houze said with a smile.
"Sure, you're not getting any younger, it's time to settle down. Although you're a good catch, the older you get, the fewer options you'll have. You should hurry up and do it."
"Hehe, look at how smug you are. Alright, I'll look carefully. Now let's get back to work. Take another look at this agreement with Taihua Group. If you think it's okay, we'll sign it."
"You've already seen it, you have more experience in this area than I do."
"That's true, but we still need your consent. You're two months pregnant, right? Are you sure you can still handle it?"
"Yeah, it's okay. I've already had three kids!"
"Yes, I'm experienced and practice makes perfect."
Feeling embarrassed, Gu Zhiyao started arguing back.
Just then, the assistant came to report that President He had arrived.
Gu Zhiyao was taken aback. Lin Houze joked, "I think he might want to shrink you down so he can carry you in his pocket all the time!"
Gu Zhiyao rolled her eyes at him, then went out with her assistant and sure enough, she saw that familiar, tall figure.
He looked a little nervous.
"Why did you come here?" Gu Zhiyao asked.
He Yi approached her, examined her carefully, and said, "Why didn't you reply to my messages and phone calls?"
Gu Zhiyao was taken aback, then remembered that she had overheard everyone talking about radiation today, so she tried to avoid using her phone, and later when she went to talk to Lin Houze, she didn't bring it at all.
So I didn't see his messages or calls.
But is that why he made a special trip here?
That's too...
"You're not allowed to stop using your phone from now on, understand? Actually, cell phone radiation isn't that high, but I'll have someone research how to reduce the radiation level even further. Our group's research team is currently developing a near-zero radiation cell phone, which we plan to provide to pregnant women, children, and the elderly."
Gu Zhiyao looked at him steadily, feeling a warmth in her heart. "Okay, I know. I'll try to check my phone every half hour. I'm fine. You really don't need to worry about me too much."
He Yi looked at her without saying a word, clearly disagreeing with her suggestion.
Gu Zhiyao had no choice but to give up.
To her surprise, when she was in her third month of pregnancy, He Yi moved his work to the law firm, right in her office.
