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

Chapter 179 It really is twins!

However, Aunt Li did not directly ask Gu Zhiyao. Although she and Gu Zhiyao were no longer just master and servant, there were still some things that needed to be kept in check. If Gu Zhiyao wanted to tell her, she would definitely do so on her own initiative.

Therefore, Aunt Li continued to do her best to take care of Gu Zhiyao. In order to remove fetal toxins, she made lotus seed and egg soup for Gu Zhiyao to eat. It was just cooked and brought in.

Gu Zhiyao took the bowl, drank it, and then returned it to Aunt Li, thanking her.

Aunt Li gazed at her and couldn't help but say, "Zhiyao, are you alright? Seeing you like this should make me feel relieved, but for some reason, I just don't feel at ease. If you're in pain, just let it out. You can tell me anything. Although I was hired by President He, you know I've always been on your side. If you ever need my help, I'll definitely do my best!"

Gu Zhiyao looked at the woman in front of her with emotion, her eyes gradually welling up with tears.

After a while, she said, "Aunt Li, thank you. I understand your intentions, but I also know that I can't do what I want. Rather than fighting against an innocent person, I'd rather bear it alone. However, I won't give up. I will definitely find a way to keep the child with me!"

"That's good. If you need anything from me, just let me know. Although President He is powerful, I believe he can't really be lawless, and I believe he won't really become that cold-blooded. He still cares about you. What you need to do now is take good care of yourself and protect the baby. Besides, no matter what you do, you need to be healthy."

"Yes, thank you, Aunt Li."

Aunt Li went out to do her work first, and Gu Zhiyao opened her phone, logged into one of the most popular foreign online platforms, and consulted a Chinese lawyer about some matters.

These past few days she has indeed stopped focusing on grief and anger, because that won't save her or her child. She can only try to save herself in another way.

She plans to sue He Yi, but not for forcibly taking her. So much time has passed, and even if she is pregnant with his child, it doesn't prove that he took her against her will. She can't win that case. So now she is mainly thinking about how to get the child back to her.

However, several lawyers she consulted all concluded that if she were only pregnant with one child, she would inevitably have custody of that child based on the current circumstances. The problem is that she is now pregnant with twins. Regardless of whether He Yi loves her or not, or whether he is married to someone else, if He Yi insists on fighting for custody, he can still obtain custody of one child.

Of course, it's possible that she could have both, but that's uncertain and no one can guarantee it; it's a gamble.

But she dared not gamble.

A few days later, Dr. Zhou came for a prenatal checkup, which was something Gu Zhiyao had fought hard for. On the third day of her imprisonment, she asked Aunt Li to call Quan Xinyu. On the phone, she calmly and firmly made this request to Quan Xinyu. In fact, it didn't matter who gave Gu Zhiyao the prenatal checkup. Even if Dr. Zhou might be biased towards Gu Zhiyao, they were protecting their authority and naturally weren't worried that an old aunt like Dr. Zhou could rescue Gu Zhiyao.

Therefore, Quan Xinyu said this to Gu Zhiyao on the phone: "I won't say anything more. You're a smart person, you should understand the situation. You can't fight against President He at all. As long as things are peaceful now, at least the child can come into this world safely. If you keep making trouble, and something happens to the child, then it's really over. No matter how you fight, it's all for the child, right? Once the child is gone, all of this becomes meaningless. So, you need to prioritize and understand cause and effect."

Although Gu Zhiyao understood that Quan Xinyu was trying to persuade her, she also felt his goodwill and thought that there was no need to make things difficult for him, so she didn't say anything. Quan Xinyu also hurriedly persuaded and explained to He Yi, and finally managed to get Dr. Zhou to continue to give Gu Zhiyao prenatal checkups.

Of course, Dr. Zhou's arrival was also under surveillance, and Quan Xinyu even warned Dr. Zhou about what he shouldn't do.

When Dr. Zhou learned that Gu Zhiyao had been imprisoned, she was shocked and furious. She immediately said that she would report it and make things difficult for them as well.

But Gu Zhiyao stopped her.

In response to Dr. Zhou's question, Gu Zhiyao explained, "Aunt Zhou, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm thinking of another way."

"Other methods? Can you tell me about them?" Dr. Zhou then asked.

“I have consulted many well-known lawyers online. Based on my current situation, I think the chances of having both children are very small. If only one child is awarded to He Yi, although making a scene like this would be a way to get revenge on Zheng Yuanxi and expose her fake pregnancy, making them a laughing stock in the city, that’s not what I want.”

All I want is for my children to stay with me. Whether those people are laughed at or not is irrelevant to me. I hate them, and I wish them misery, but I want my children to stay with me even more than they want to be taken away!

Aunt Zhou suddenly realized, and her eyes revealed appreciation and admiration.

She grabbed Gu Zhiyao's hand. "I'm so glad you're so clear-headed. You're right, we don't need things that are useless to us. Right now, all we care about is getting both children. By the way, I know some lawyers. Do you think they can help you get both children?"

"That probably won't work either. I've consulted many people, both domestic and foreign, and they all agree that it's very difficult. So after thinking it over, I think I might really have to use the method I told you before: on the day of delivery, have the baby pretend to have an accident!"

“But this is very difficult.” Dr. Zhou frowned, his expression serious. “And now I’m worried that the other child will also be discovered. I thought I could try to make it seem to the outside world that you only had one child, but who knew that you were imprisoned by that person. I’m worried that on the day of delivery, President He will send a lot of people to watch over you, and he might even send his own doctor to follow you into the delivery room. At that time, no matter what I do, I won’t be able to hide it.”

Gu Zhiyao understood what Dr. Zhou meant. In fact, she had regretted it since the second day she was imprisoned, regretting her impulsiveness and making the situation so passive.

Aunt Zhou couldn't bear to see her sad, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, maybe we'll find a way. Let's just play it by ear for now. As long as there's a sliver of hope, we'll succeed."

"Yes, thank you, Aunt Zhou. And thank you for your hard work."

"It's alright. The baby is doing very well lately, all the data are good, and..." Dr. Zhou paused for a moment, then continued, "I just checked, and they're twins, a boy and a girl. You're very lucky! They are a boy and a girl!"

Twins?

It really was a man and a woman!

Gu Zhiyao's heart warmed instantly. Because doctors are not allowed to reveal the baby's gender in advance, she hadn't thought about it. She felt that as long as they were healthy and safe, it didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl.

But Aunt Zhou still risked violating the rules by speaking out.

Gu Zhiyao then happily said, "No wonder I felt they were very different. One was obviously very active, while the other was very quiet. Especially recently, the baby's movements have been particularly strong. The one that kicks me the most is a boy, right? And the quiet, well-behaved baby is a girl?"

"It should be!" Dr. Zhou nodded, watching Gu Zhiyao's joyful and touched expression, but he couldn't help feeling sad. He then asked solemnly, "Zhiyao, if you really can only take one child with you, would you prefer a boy or a girl?"
