Chapter 325 They are not a real couple
Of course, he wouldn't expose it.
He said to his pretty and adorable daughter with doting affection, "Uncle will check the schedule first. If possible, Uncle will definitely come and celebrate your birthday with you."
"Really? That's wonderful! In previous years, only my parents and Grandma Hua celebrated my birthday with me, but this year, Brother Yifei and my brother, and Uncle He Yi, are here too. I'm so happy!" Niu Niu exclaimed with delight and joy. Then she turned to Chen Chen and asked, "Brother, what gift are you planning to give me? You'll give me a gift, right?"
"Yes, of course. What gift do you want?" Chenchen looked at her with eyes full of affection.
"I like anything my brother gives me!" the little girl said with a smile.
"Then I'll try my best to think of something to give you. I'm sure you'll like it very much and be very satisfied!"
"It's a promise!"
The brother and sister held hands. Yi Fei was unaware of some of the truth and didn't think too much about it. He just felt gratified and happy for Gu Zhiyao.
He Yi silently watched the heartwarming and loving scene before him, his heart surging with emotion, deeply moved, and unable to recover for a long time.
Because he had a banquet to attend that evening, he and Chenchen and Niuniu parted ways at five o'clock.
"Uncle He Yi, we can see each other again, right? When are you free again? Why don't you come to our house for dinner next time? My mom's cooking is so delicious!" Before parting, Niu Niu held He Yi's hand, reluctant to leave.
He Yi was still deeply moved and couldn't help but kiss the little girl on the cheek, saying, "Yes, of course we'll meet again. Next time, Uncle will take you somewhere else to play and then have dinner with you."
“Okay, I’ll tell Mom when I get back that I’m inviting you over for dinner!” Niu Niu said innocently.
He Yi hesitated for a moment, then didn't stop her. He continued to smile and touch her face, then said a few words to Chenchen. When he turned to Yifei, his gaze was meaningful. Finally, he left.
Yifei took Niu Niu and Chen Chen home.
Gu Zhiyao had already returned home from get off work. Actually, she was still affected today and couldn't concentrate on her work at all, so she simply came home early.
Seeing Yifei return with his son and daughter, she felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She rushed over and hugged them both tightly.
After a while, she released them and led them into the dining room.
Xiao Lin had a business dinner tonight and didn't come home for dinner, so it was just the four of them eating.
While we were eating, Niu Niu suddenly said, "Mom, I told Uncle He Yi that I'm planning to invite him to our house. When are you free? This Saturday should be fine."
Gu Zhiyao's hand, which was picking up food, froze in mid-air. She looked at Niu Niu, a flame flickering in her eyes.
Yifei was aware of the grudge between Gu Zhiyao and He Yi, and immediately noticed Gu Zhiyao's unusual mood, which made his heart tighten.
A moment later, Gu Zhiyao relaxed and casually said to Niu Niu, "I'm sorry, Niu Niu, Mommy will be quite busy these two weeks and may not have time. How about next time?"
"When will that be? I'm afraid He Yi will go back soon!"
“Uncle He Yi has a company here, and he comes here often. Mom works very hard, and if she takes leave without permission, people will talk about her behind her back,” Yi Fei suddenly said.
"Weekends are supposed to be rest days! Don't they let people rest? We can sue them!" the little girl said indignantly, her lips pouting.
“That’s true, but when there’s work to do, I have to work overtime. That’s what makes Mom so great—taking responsibility for her work. So many people like and support Mom because she works so hard. I’ll talk to Uncle He Yi about it later. I think I heard he’s coming again next month. Maybe he can attend your birthday party.” Yi Fei continued to patiently reassure her.
Niu Niu was convinced after hearing this. "Brother Yifei, then remember to tell Uncle He Yi. Although he promised to celebrate my birthday today, I'm still afraid he won't come. Please remind and tell him."
"Yes, yes! Don't worry!"
"Yes, Brother Yifei is indeed reliable! I'll leave it to you then, Brother Yifei. Oh, by the way, this is your favorite sweet and sour pork, I'll get it for you."
"Thank you, Niu Niu!" Yi Fei picked up the bowl and handed it over, taking the dishes that Niu Niu eagerly offered, and then gave Gu Zhiyao a knowing smile.
Gu Zhiyao returned his grateful gaze, and everyone continued eating.
After dinner, Chenchen and Niu Niu played together, while Yifei and Gu Zhiyao talked alone.
Yifei briefly reported the situation to Gu Zhiyao and then reassured her, "Uncle probably just wanted to see Chenchen. He doesn't have any other intentions, so you can rest assured."
"Thank you, Yifei!" Gu Zhiyao finally expressed her gratitude formally.
Yifei shook his head, looking at her beautiful and refined face, and suddenly wanted to ask her if she still liked her uncle.
But at the crucial moment, he held back.
He thought, "I probably won't love anymore."
Her uncle had caused her so much harm that anyone with common sense would never fall into that trap again. Besides, she was now married to Xiao Lin, who was a much better man than her uncle. She wasn't stupid!
Yifei stayed until 10 o'clock before leaving.
He Yi had already returned from the banquet. There was supposed to be a second part, but he declined. Quan Xinyu accompanied him back to the hotel. Then, Quan Xinyu received a phone call and immediately reported to He Yi, "President, you guessed right, Gu Zhiyao and Xiao Lin may not be a real couple."
He Yi, who had been squinting, suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently at Quan Xinyu.
Quan Xinyu continued, "The person we arranged was a fellow villager of Aunt Hua, who worked as a maid in Gu Zhiyao's house. The two have known each other for more than ten years and have a very good relationship, often visiting each other. She just tested Aunt Hua a little, and Aunt Hua unknowingly said that Xiao Lin and Gu Zhiyao do not sleep in the same room. That means that Gu Zhiyao and Xiao Lin are not a real couple at all, otherwise it would be impossible for them to sleep in separate rooms for so many years."
He Yi's emotions became increasingly surging.
Quan Xinyu continued, "Perhaps Xiao Lin has those kinds of feelings for Gu Zhiyao, but Gu Zhiyao may not love Xiao Lin, so Xiao Lin doesn't force her. In her heart, Gu Zhiyao probably still loves you."
"She still loves me?" He Yi finally murmured.
“It should be, otherwise she couldn’t have remained indifferent to Xiao Lin all these years.” Quan Xinyu thought for a moment, wondering whether he should ask He Yi what he planned to do next, and whether he would divorce Zheng Yuanxi.
Just then, He Yi's phone rang!
It was Zheng Yuanxi calling.
He Yi's tone remained gentle. He patiently answered whatever Zheng Yuanxi asked, and then comforted her, saying not to worry and that nothing like that would happen. Quan Xinyu then thought that Zheng Yuanxi was probably being difficult again, bringing up how she viewed Chenchen.
So, Quan Xinyu completely suppressed the thought that had just crossed his mind, then gestured to He Yi and left.
