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

Chapter 134 Hoping it's twins

He glanced at the message, his eyes flickered as he pondered for a moment, then left without a word, putting down his phone and continuing to bury himself in his work.

At noon, Quan Xinyu arrived at He Yi's residence with a housekeeper.

Gu Zhiyao rushed over upon hearing the sound, and a clear look of disappointment flashed in her eyes when she saw only Quan Xinyu.

Quan Xinyu took a deep breath and said casually, "This is the nanny that President He arranged for you. She will be responsible for your three meals a day. You can tell her what you want to eat."

"Hello, Miss Gu. My surname is Li. You can just call me Aunt Li if you don't mind."

"Hello, Aunt Li!" Gu Zhiyao greeted her politely, then turned her gaze back to Quan Xinyu, called him aside, and whispered, "May I go out and have some free time?"

Quan Xinyu was slightly taken aback, and said, "But President He's meaning..."

“I won’t run away again. I’ve already made a promise with him that I’ll stay here until the baby is born. Besides, you must have sent people to follow me, right? Even if I really wanted to escape, I wouldn’t be able to get away.”

Quan Xinyu was a little embarrassed, and then said, "It would be better if you talked to President He about this in person. The fetus is a bit unstable, so try to stay at home for the next few days and wait until the baby's condition stabilizes before making a decision."

"Okay," Gu Zhiyao said hesitantly after a moment of silence.

“If you want to eat anything or need anything, you can call me, or you can call President He directly,” Quan Xinyu added.

“I texted him this morning, but he didn’t reply,” Gu Zhiyao blurted out, her tone tinged with grievance.

Upon seeing this, Quan Xinyu couldn't help but recall that morning when President He had instructed him to book a restaurant and flowers, saying that he was having dinner with Zheng Yuanxi.

Gu Zhiyao definitely doesn't know about this, right? Yes, it's impossible for her to know. If she knew...

"The president is quite busy. He's been in meetings all day and probably hasn't had time to check the message yet. I'm handling all the work-related matters. He'll see the message when he has some free time," Quan Xinyu said after a while.

Then Gu Zhiyao's gloomy face brightened instantly. "Really? No wonder I didn't receive his reply. I thought... It seems I misunderstood him! Okay, it's alright. Anyway, it's about that incident. You're right, the baby's condition isn't completely stable yet. It's better for me to stay home as much as possible. I'll listen to you then. I won't go out for the next few days!"

In Quan Xinyu's memory, Gu Zhiyao was a smart, capable, and diligent legal specialist. In the last case involving Wen Shiren, she also displayed a strong sense of justice and decisiveness. However, her behavior in her several conflicts with President He was quite extreme, completely different from what she showed today.

At this moment, she was showing all the signs of a little girl, completely like a young girl in love.

Oh, right, she just mentioned that President He and she have agreed that she will stay here until the baby is born.

What exactly did President He talk to her about that made her obedient so quickly?

Of course, Quan Xinyu didn't ask any more questions. After arranging the relevant matters and completing the task, he left first.

Gu Zhiyao started chatting with the housekeeper. The housekeeper had experience serving people, and Gu Zhiyao was down-to-earth, so the two quickly got along well.

"Aunt Li, how many children do you have? Did you have severe morning sickness during your pregnancy? Did you vomit often? Around what month did your baby start to move?" Gu Zhiyao sat in the dining room and chatted with the housekeeper who was preparing lunch in the kitchen.

Aunt Li turned around and smiled at her, replying, "I've had four children in total. The first three were daughters. My mother-in-law is from the countryside and has traditional ideas. She insisted on having a son, which is why I had four. But now they're all grown up, and I don't think it's too many anymore. I'm actually glad I insisted on having more."

Yes, pregnancy is indeed tough, especially for a first pregnancy. You experience all sorts of symptoms. Back then, our circumstances weren't good, and I still had to work. Every time I vomited, I felt like I was losing half my life. Now you're all doing very well; just pay attention to rest and diet.

The kind-hearted girl immediately looked at Aunt Li with sympathy and pity, and then asked, "What are the differences between carrying a girl and a boy? Besides an ultrasound, how else can we tell?"

"I let nature take its course with my first pregnancy. When I started having my second pregnancy, I went for ultrasounds. The hospital didn't allow it, so I went to a small clinic secretly. I didn't pay much attention to anything different. Girls are always more well-behaved, and the pregnant women aren't as tired. I had a lot of morning sickness with my fourth pregnancy, but I was happy because it was a boy. No matter how hard it was, I was still happy."

Gu Zhiyao nodded, her face also filled with longing.

"This is your first pregnancy, so don't worry too much. Even if it's a girl, it's okay. I heard there are special formulas for having a son now, so it'll be easy if you really want a boy." Although Aunt Li had never met the man of the house, judging from the mansion and the location, she knew they were a very wealthy family. Money could solve any problem for them!

Gu Zhiyao came to her senses and smiled shyly, "If I could, I would like to have twins, a girl and a boy, to make a perfect family."

"This is the wish of all women. We can complete the task after just one painful experience. Does your family have a history of twins?"

Gu Zhiyao's smile froze. Looking at the kind Aunt Li, she whispered, "I don't know. I'm an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage and have never met my parents."

Ah!

Aunt Li quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay, Auntie, don't be nervous, it's all over now. Although at first I was very puzzled and even complained, why didn't they want me? Since they went through so much trouble to bring me into this world, shouldn't they cherish me? Look at other people's parents, they treat their children like their precious treasures."

But later, seeing the children constantly coming into the orphanage, I came to terms with it. I wasn't the only one in this world like this; many people are. Since I'm not destined to be with the people who gave me life, why should I care? Just accept what comes. Ultimately, being able to come into this world and live well is already the greatest blessing, isn't it?

“It’s good that you think that way. Although we met for the first time, I can tell that you are a very good girl. Mr. He must be very good too. Now that you have a new family and your own child, it means that you have a long good future ahead of you. Besides, if you don’t mind, you can treat me as family.” The old lady was a kind person and immediately felt sorry for Gu Zhiyao.

“Okay, Aunt Li, thank you. I used to know an Aunt Zhang at the orphanage. She was a volunteer there and she was very kind to me, like a mother. It’s a pity that later… Aunt Li, thank you for appearing in my life. Maybe Aunt Zhang saw that I was lonely and specially arranged for you to take care of me and keep me company. Although you are here to help me with the work, don’t be too reserved. Just treat this place as your own home. You can tell me anything directly.” Gu Zhiyao gradually regained her composure. In the end, she had already gotten used to it.

When I was little, I would feel sad and long for my parents to be there. Now that I'm grown up, I've developed resilience and optimism.
