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

Chapter 358 Let's make a deal!

Gu Zhiyao's expression also changed slightly; she naturally understood what Xiao Lin meant.

Looking at her pale face, Xiao Lin felt a pang of heartache. "But I will find another way and make sure that public opinion doesn't turn against us. Don't worry, I'm still relatively optimistic."

Gu Zhiyao nodded gratefully to him.

"You should get some rest, it's getting late."

"Okay, Brother Xiao Lin, you should get some rest too. You've worked hard these past few days."

Xiao Lin gently ruffled her hair, smiled tenderly at her, and then left.

Gu Zhiyao lowered her eyes to look at the ground, recalling the scenes from earlier, pondering how to resolve any potential accidents and problems.

She tossed and turned all night. When she got up to use the restroom, she also went out for a drink of water. She passed by Niu Niu's bedroom and went inside.

The little girl still hasn't changed her habit of kicking off the covers while sleeping. Fortunately, Aunt Hua always turns up the air conditioner temperature so she doesn't get cold.

“Dad, remember to divorce Aunt Zheng and be with my mom. I can’t bear to part with Mom, and I can’t bear to part with you either. The best way is for you to marry Mom.”

The little girl murmured in her sleep.

Gu Zhiyao froze completely.

Overwhelmed with emotions, my throat felt hot.

Silly girl, Mom doesn't need him. Mom will never marry him, not in this lifetime. He's not good enough for me!

"Huh, Mom?"

It turned out the little girl had woken up.

Gu Zhiyao quickly composed herself, "Did Mom wake you up? I'm sorry."

"No, I woke up on my own. I just dreamt about Daddy and you, and then I woke up." The little girl sat up. "Mommy, I dreamt that Daddy agreed to marry you. Actually, Daddy is a good person, and he likes you too. The other day I was upset with you, and Daddy taught me not to do that, saying that you care about me the most, and if I'm angry with you, you'll be very sad. See how good Daddy is to you? So please don't dislike him. Although Daddy said he did something wrong that made you angry, you taught me that it's okay to do wrong things, as long as you know your mistakes and correct them, you're a good child and deserve forgiveness. Will you forgive Daddy too?"

Gu Zhiyao felt even more complicated after hearing her daughter's words.

He actually said that to Niu Niu?

He even admitted that he did something wrong?

Ha ha!

"Mother……"

“Niu Niu, Mom knows you like him a lot, but this is an adult matter. You're still young, so don't worry about it for now. Mom won't stop you from seeing him. When you grow up, if you want to go back to China to see him, Mom will agree.”

"But I want my dad and mom to be together. I want to see my dad and mom every day, and I want my dad and mom to go on trips with me."

“You have a father. He used to do all these things, and he loves you very much. You can’t just abandon him like this.” The father Gu Zhiyao was referring to was Xiao Lin.

The little girl was also taken aback upon hearing this.

"Niu Niu, don't overthink adult matters. Also, Mom hopes you'll talk about your father as little as possible in front of him. We can't let him feel hurt."

"Okay, I understand," the little girl said sullenly.

Gu Zhiyao hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry."

"Uh, Mom, you don't need to apologize to me. Although I'm sad, I understand," the little girl quickly added.

Just as Yifei said, she has always been a good child.

With tears in her eyes, Gu Zhiyao hugged the little girl tightly, then lay down beside her and sang to her until the little girl finally fell asleep again.

A little while later, Gu Zhiyao also left. Passing by Chenchen's bedroom, she pushed open the door and went inside.

Chenchen slept much better than Niu Niu; he was very upright and had a peaceful expression. His handsome little face, despite his young age, made Gu Zhiyao lose herself in thought.

She knew that face all too well.

She was practically a miniature version of her father. She could imagine that when Chenchen got older, he would look even more like He Yi.

As Gu Zhiyao looked at her son, she thought about everything that had happened that day, and gradually an idea came to her mind.

She arranged to meet He Yi, but she called Quan Xinyu first.

When Quan Xinyu received her call saying she wanted to see He Yi, he was completely stunned.

"Quan, the special assistant?" Gu Zhiyao called out when she saw that he hadn't responded for a long time.

"Oh, I'm here!" Quan Xinyu said excitedly. "Okay, I'll talk to President He about when you plan to meet, and where?"

"If possible, I'll send you the address later at 3 PM today."

"Yes, I'll report this to President He right away."

Gu Zhiyao didn't say much and hung up the phone.

Quan Xinyu was excited for a moment before running to find He Yi and telling him what he thought was good news.

He Yi was also surprised. "She wants to see me? Did she say why?"

"It must be related to Miss Zheng?" Quan Xinyu asked.

Is it related to Jung Won-hee?

Does she want him to stop helping Zheng Yuanxi?

"President, are you planning to go on the date? It's rare for her to take the initiative to contact you, you must seize the opportunity and make a good impression!" Seeing He Yi frown, Quan Xinyu quickly changed the subject, "She said she'll send me her location later, I'll check her information first."

At 3 p.m., the two met in a secluded mansion.

Looking at Gu Zhiyao's still somewhat pale face, He Yi couldn't help but recall seeing her kneeling before the Bodhisattva in the temple yesterday, weeping bitterly and trembling all over. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "How are you feeling? Are you all better?"

Gu Zhiyao was immediately taken aback, perhaps not expecting him to ask that, but she quickly calmed down and said in a low voice, "Well, it's nothing. I asked you out today because I wanted to discuss a deal with you."

How about we make a deal?

He Yi looked at her expressionless pretty face and felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Gu Zhiyao said to herself, "You should know that I went to the police station to report the case, and you should know what I told the police. Although it was just my verbal account, everything I said was true. My purpose is very simple: Zheng Yuanxi has hurt me time and time again, and she will not stop trying to harm me. I want her to pay the price for what she has done, and I want to avenge my two innocent little lives. I hope you will stop siding with her, otherwise I will sue you. He Yi, I will sue you for rape!"

He Yi's originally moved face instantly froze, his sword-like eyebrows furrowed as he stared at her cold and aloof expression.

Gu Zhiyao continued, "As long as you agree to my conditions, I will not prevent Chenchen and Niuniu from recognizing each other in the future. Even during long holidays, if you want them to come back to China for a while, I will agree. How about it?"

He Yi pondered for a moment before finally speaking, "Gu Zhiyao, are you sure this accident was really only caused by Zheng Yuanxi? Did you yourself have any inappropriate thoughts?"

Gu Zhiyao was taken aback, then sneered, "What inappropriate thoughts? Are you saying I used this child to frame Zheng Yuanxi? That's what she told you? Do you believe her? Hmm, you probably believe her, after all, you love her so much, she's a flawless goddess in your eyes. It seems my actions today were unnecessary. I understand what you mean, so let's leave it at that."

After saying that, Gu Zhiyao stood up and prepared to walk outside.

He Yi grabbed her arm.

Gu Zhiyao struggled.

“I didn’t say I believe her. I just wanted to ask you, why don’t you change your personality? Why are you always so stubborn?” He Yi said, his tone full of frustration and helplessness.
