Chapter 183 His tenderness was all for the children.
He Yi continued to talk to her, but Gu Zhiyao didn't say anything. It was 9:30 when they arrived.
"It's getting late, you should go back to your room and rest," He Yi said, picking her up in his arms.
Caught off guard, Gu Zhiyao instinctively tried to struggle, but in the end she did nothing and just let him carry her back to the bedroom.
He Yi carefully placed her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then gently patted her belly, saying, "Little one, be good and don't bother Mommy. You're so big, it's been very hard for Mommy to carry you. Daddy will reward you well when you come out!"
Gu Zhiyao stared at him blankly, her eyes gradually reddening. When He Yi looked up and saw her, she quickly turned away. He Yi naturally didn't see her like that and thought she was still being stubborn. After a moment of thought, he stood up and said, "I'm leaving now. If you need anything, have Aunt Li call Quan Xinyu."
Gu Zhiyao turned around and watched him leave, her eyes fixed on him. Suddenly, she called out, "Brother He Yi!"
He Yi's tall and upright figure froze instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in front of her.
Their eyes met, each filled with complex thoughts.
A moment later, He Yi asked, his voice trembling with barely suppressed excitement, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Gu Zhiyao bit her lip slightly, gazing at his cold but no longer gloomy face, hesitating to speak.
He Yi raised an eyebrow, then helped her straighten the blankets and said, "Be a good girl and give birth to our child. I will raise him well and make him a man as capable as me or even more capable than me. Gu Zhiyao, no matter what, this is our child. The blood flowing in his veins is ours. This can never be erased and nothing else can replace it. Do you understand?"
Gu Zhiyao continued to gaze at him silently for a while, then spoke up, "Okay, I promise you, but I want to go out. I want to be free like before, instead of being locked up here. Shall we go out?"
He Yi also fell silent for a moment.
Gu Zhiyao continued, "When I heard you were going to give the child to Zheng Yuanxi to raise, I was really furious. Because this is my child, how could you give it to someone else? And... even though I always knew you loved Zheng Yuanxi and might do anything for her, I thought we still had some feelings for each other. You took me to the research base to see meteors, took me to see celestial bodies in the universe, took me to admire flowers, took me to watch the sunset, and even promised to take me to see the most beautiful sunrise after the baby was born. I felt that what you did wasn't just for the baby, but also for me, right? So when Wenya told me the truth, it was like a dream shattered. I couldn't believe you treated me like this, I couldn't accept you treating me like this, and then..."
Gu Zhiyao choked up as she spoke.
He Yi reached out and touched her shoulder, then said solemnly, "Gu Zhiyao, I said, no matter who raises the child, he is your child, the child you gave birth to for me."
"Brother He Yi, do you like me? Do you love me? At least you don't hate me anymore? Otherwise, you wouldn't have done so many things for me, and you wouldn't have done those intimate things with me." Gu Zhiyao raised her head again and stared at him intently.
Her clear, bright eyes were like stars.
He Yi's eyes flickered for a moment, then he said, "By the way, do you want to go see the stars?"
Gu Zhiyao was stunned.
“There are shooting stars tonight, not many, but still quite nice. We watched them at the research center last time, shall we go straight to the mountaintop this time? But the temperature on the mountain should be very low, you should wear something warm.” He Yi said as he walked to the wardrobe, picked out a pair of pants for pregnant women, and then took out a thick coat. By the time Gu Zhiyao was dressed, ten minutes had passed.
Gu Zhiyao stared blankly at him. He Yi reached out and tapped her cute little nose, his warm breath brushing against her face. He said, "Come on, let's set off. We'll be at the top of the mountain in just the right time."
The mountaintop was already crowded with people, especially couples.
He Yi put his arm around Gu Zhiyao and found a less crowded place, pulling her coat up for her. "Aren't you cold?"
Gu Zhiyao shook her head.
"Wow, it's here! It's so beautiful! Everyone, make a wish!"
Suddenly, someone cheered excitedly.
Gu Zhiyao looked up and saw, sure enough, streaks of dazzling white light flying toward them.
He heard He Yi's voice in her ear, "Want to make a wish?"
Gu Zhiyao didn't answer him, but slowly closed her eyes. After a while, she opened them and continued to watch the bright white lights streak across the sky and fall.
"What did you wish for just now?" He Yi asked.
Gu Zhiyao looked back at him and said, "I wish the baby health, safety, and a worry-free life."
He Yi's heart skipped a beat. Seeing her hair being blown by the wind, he reached out and tucked it behind her ear. Then he leaned closer to her, pulled her into his arms, and said, "As long as you behave, your dreams will definitely come true!"
Where he couldn't see, Gu Zhiyao curled her lips into a deep smile.
After the meteor shower ended, He Yi took her home, sat for a while, and then left.
After seeing He Yi off, Aunt Li entered Gu Zhiyao's room and said happily, "Zhiyao, didn't I tell you? Look, President He specially took you to see the shooting stars, and he even told me that he can take you downstairs for a walk tomorrow. You can finally go out! Thank goodness!"
Gu Zhiyao smiled gratefully and said, "Auntie, thank you."
"No need to thank me, it's all your good fortune. Although President He married that Miss Zheng, I believe you and President He are still destined for each other. I've seen many marriages between wealthy families, and very few of them last long. Miss Zheng is so vicious, I believe God won't be kind to her." Aunt Li said hopefully, while Gu Zhiyao didn't say much, only smiling faintly.
The next day, she was indeed freed.
However, she knew that He Yi must have sent people to secretly monitor and follow her, so she was very careful and only stayed in the community downstairs for the time being. He Yi would come over every few days, and each time he would touch Gu Zhiyao's belly, interact with the baby, and then talk to Gu Zhiyao about the baby.
Gu Zhiyao responded nonchalantly, and everything seemed to have returned to those sweet days. Aunt Li was delighted, thinking that Gu Zhiyao had resolved her inner conflict and was full of love for President He again. But Gu Zhiyao did not fall into despair. No one knew that her mindset had changed. She dared not and could not indulge in this illusory and fleeting dream that could disappear at any time.
She was eight months pregnant.
Gu Zhiyao's weight had reached 140 pounds, her belly was getting bigger and heavier, and she was exhausted, but she remained clear-headed, thinking about how to keep both children with her. She knew that He Yi was being so good to her simply so that she could calm down and give birth safely.
In his plan, the child would still be given to Zheng Yuanxi!
And the second child might also be discovered and taken away!
How can she change this situation and keep her children with her?
