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

Chapter 460 Painful Memories Ignite Like a Bomb

But when Niu Niu learned about this, she couldn't wait to shout, "Dad, are you serious? This is the house where Mom lived when she was pregnant with me and my brother. It's so meaningful! Why did you only bring us here now? You should have brought us here a long time ago!"

After saying that, the little girl shook Gu Zhiyao's hand again and said, "Mom, you must have a lot of memories, right? The teacher told us that babies are born after ten months in their mother's belly. Do a lot of things happen during those ten months? Can you tell me? It's so amazing that I was in my mother's belly."

Gu Zhiyao was surprised by her daughter's reaction. When she saw the little girl reach out and touch her abdomen, she immediately felt a strange sensation, and those scenes from that time flashed into her mind.

Yes, so many memories!

Unforgettable.

During that time, she thought He Yi truly loved her, and she also thought that he and she were normal expectant parents welcoming and waiting for the arrival of their child, and they really spent a very sweet time together.

He acted so realistically, with unprecedented tenderness. At first, she was reserved, but as the baby grew bigger, she took the opportunity to act coquettishly with him. Several times, she even woke him up in the middle of the night to cook noodles for her and said she wanted to eat desserts from a certain place. He then ran out to buy them, even though the temperature was minus five degrees Celsius!

"Mommy?" Niu Niu's voice came again.

Gu Zhiyao came to her senses, looked down at the little girl's raised face, and smiled slightly, "Come on, Mom will take you to put your things away, and then let's see your room?"

"Great!" The little girl didn't think much of it and was so happy she almost clapped her hands.

There are a total of five rooms here. In addition to the master bedroom, there are four other rooms that can be converted.

Gu Zhiyao looked at the specially renovated children's room and felt a slight jolt in her heart.

"This was arranged by someone when I learned Niu Niu's true identity. Chen Chen's room is next door," He Yi's deep voice rang out.

Gu Zhiyao looked at him and saw the burning look in his eyes, so she quickly looked away.

Niu Niu ran around touching this and that, even climbing onto the bed and jumping around. Then she excitedly shouted, "I love this room so much! It's even prettier than the rooms in Canada! Daddy, did you design all of this yourself? Thank you!"

He Yi walked over, tugged at her sleeve, and said with a smile, "How will you thank Dad?"

Boo!

"Is this enough?" The little girl immediately gave her a kiss.

He Yi smiled even more happily, "If Niu Niu can give me another kiss, Daddy will be even happier."

Boo!

Boop!

The little girl gave it a few more kisses, then laughed happily.

Gu Zhiyao watched this scene silently, her heart surging with emotion.

In fact, this was a scene she had once fantasized about.

During her pregnancy, there wasn't much to do, so she spent her days moving around the house, looking at the rooms and thinking about how to plan the nursery. Just when she finally mustered up the courage to discuss it with He Yi, she discovered the shocking truth: she was just being used as a tool for having children, and her child would not be raised by her at all, but was born for Zheng Yuanxi!

No wonder he never planned a nursery for her!

After much agonizing reflection, Gu Zhiyao's body trembled violently, and her emotions surged intensely. She turned and rushed out of the room.

He Yi caught up with her and grabbed her at the gate. "What's wrong?"

His voice was gentle.

Gu Zhiyao remained silent, panting heavily.

He Yi frowned slightly and continued, "What happened? Are you feeling unwell? Gu Zhiyao, tell me?"

Gu Zhiyao took a deep breath, staring intently at him. Then, she pointed to her chest and said, "This doesn't feel right. I remember how happy I was waiting for my child to arrive, dreaming every day about how I would spend a happy life with the baby. But Wen Ya and Zheng Yuanxi told me that I was just a tool for them to have children, that the child would never belong to me, and that once born, the child would be taken away and pretend that Zheng Yuanxi gave birth to the child! She would call Zheng Yuanxi 'Mom,' and she might not even know I existed!"

“Gu Zhiyao…” He Yi’s expression changed drastically.

“He Yi, I don’t want to stay here. If you really want to protect us, arrange another place for us to stay. Or I can ask Brother Xiao Lin to arrange it. His previous house had pretty good security. So, let me leave.”

"No, Gu Zhiyao, I... I know you're upset, but let's calm down. I'll stay with you and calm down, okay? I know anything I say now will seem weak and powerless, and you won't forget those bad memories. I just hope you won't think about it anymore, okay?" He Yi quickly said.

He held her tightly in his large hand, his tone almost pleading, "I'm sorry, I made a foolish decision back then. But I was happy during the time we lived here together. You said I acted out a scene to make you want to have a child, but that wasn't true. Although I don't know why I did that, maybe it was because of love. Maybe I already liked you back then, and without realizing it, I fell for you."

Every touching scene here, including me cooking for you, getting up in the middle of the night to make you a midnight snack, going out at -5 degrees Celsius to buy you sweet fermented rice, and, of course, making love with you—all of these are deeply etched in my mind. Just a thought brings them back like a movie. It's these beautiful images that have kept me company during some lonely times. So, don't overthink it, I love you! Chenchen and Niuniu were born, grew up, and were nurtured under the loving care of their parents!

"Shut up, He Yi! Don't try to fool me with that! I don't believe you!" Gu Zhiyao shouted excitedly.

"I'm not lying to you, it's true, Gu Zhiyao. I don't know how to make you believe me, but it's really like this. What's done is done, and I can't undo it. But I want you to know that you're not the child-rearing tool they're talking about. I love you, Gu Zhiyao. Zheng Yuanxi may have already sensed my feelings for you, which is why she's so jealous of you, because she knows what kind of person I am. Actually, if I wanted a child, I could have found another woman to have one, and I could have other ways to get revenge on you. Why did I choose this particular method? It's because I want to do that kind of thing with you, I want to have a child with you, do you understand?"

Gu Zhiyao covered her ears and struggled and twisted her body.

Just then, Niu Niu ran out, "Mommy, what's wrong? Mommy..."

Gu Zhiyao stopped struggling and looked at her daughter.

"Mom, are you feeling unwell? Dad, what's wrong with Mom?" Niu Niu continued to ask worriedly.

He Yi had already released Gu Zhiyao, looking back and forth between his daughter and Gu Zhiyao, remaining silent.

Looking at her daughter's worried and confused face, Gu Zhiyao felt extremely distressed. Then, her eyes unconsciously glanced at He Yi.

He Yi looked at her with pleading eyes.

Gu Zhiyao took a deep breath, and after a painful internal struggle, ran towards the bedroom!
