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

Chapter 121 Pregnant, and Going Abroad Again

Lin Houze said to himself, "I thought I could take advantage of our proximity, and that even if it didn't work out now, I thought you would eventually be moved after spending more time together. It seems that we are truly destined to be apart."

"Don't be like this, Houze, you deserve a better girl," Gu Zhiyao said, choking back tears and feeling guilty.

"A better girl, even if she really is better than you, isn't the one I want. But it's okay, don't take it to heart or feel burdened. Everyone has a crush on someone in their life, some even have a crush on several without any results!" Lin Houze laughed self-deprecatingly.

Gu Zhiyao continued to be moved. Yes, how many people can have a smooth love life? How many are as happy as Zheng Yuanxi? She was also secretly in love with He Yi, but she was destined to never have him.

In this respect, she and Lin Houze were quite similar. Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but feel a deep pang of heartache, a sense of shared suffering. Then she reached out and touched Lin Houze's face.

Lin Houze was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Gu Zhiyao felt sorry for him and guilty for not being able to accept his love, so he tried to smile at her as if nothing was wrong.

Everyone remained silent for a while. When the car arrived at the apartment complex where Lin Yu rented a room, Gu Zhiyao said goodbye to Lin Houze and watched him leave before going upstairs herself.

Gu Zhiyao still had the pregnancy test strips she had bought before, so she couldn't wait to take the test. The result was obviously different from the last one; it showed two lines!

She is indeed pregnant!

She's pregnant again!

Gu Zhiyao looked at the test results repeatedly, her fingers trembling and even her body shaking. She gently touched her abdomen with her other hand and couldn't help but shed tears of excitement and joy.

Baby, you're finally back with Mommy, right?

Aren't you happy? Mom is happy too. This time, Mom will definitely protect you well and never let anyone hurt you again!

"Yao, what are you doing? Are you alright?" A concerned voice suddenly came from behind.

Lin Yu is back.

Gu Zhiyao then slowly turned around.

Lin Yu immediately noticed the pregnancy test in Gu Zhiyao's hand and saw two lines on it. She was instantly shocked. "This...whose is this? Yours? You're pregnant again? Oh my god, who's the father of that child..."

"It's He Yi." Now that things have come to this, Gu Zhiyao no longer hides it. Besides, she never intended to hide it in the first place. She had planned to tell Lin Yu the whole story once she was sure she was pregnant.

After hearing the whole story, Lin Yu felt her head buzzing.

Such a thing actually happened! The few days I was away on a business trip gave He Yi, that beast, the opportunity to bully Shu Yao. He even forbade Zhi Yao from taking the morning-after pill, and as a result, Zhi Yao really got pregnant.

Gu Zhiyao continued, "Although he wouldn't let me take the medicine at the time, what made me decide to take the medicine was a dream I had. I dreamed that the baby came back to find me. Ayu, you once said that your grandmother told you that aborted children will come back to be reincarnated."

Yes, that's what she said, just to comfort her.

But unexpectedly...

"What can we do now? He doesn't love you at all, and he's already planning to marry Zheng Yuanxi and even undergo IVF. Zheng Yuanxi will soon have his child, and that child will be showered with love and be a legitimate descendant of the He family. But your child is..." Lin Yu choked up.

Gu Zhiyao hugged her and then announced her decision, "Ayu, I might have to go abroad again."

"Going abroad again?" Lin Yu was stunned.

"Although he kept emphasizing that if we had a child, we should have it, and Quan Xinyu also said that he might want to give me a child as compensation, I still feel uneasy. I don't understand what he wants to do, and what worries me the most is Zheng Yuanxi."

You're right, Zheng Yuanxi should be pregnant soon too. She absolutely won't allow He Yi to have any other children, plus that Wen Ya who's always stirring up trouble... I don't want the tragedy to happen again, so I have no choice but to run away.

You know what? I didn't even dare go to the pharmacy just now. Luckily, I still had the pregnancy test from last time. Pregnancy tests can be inaccurate sometimes, but I couldn't go to the hospital to confirm. I'll just assume I'm pregnant. My period is late, I feel nauseous when I smell fishy odors, and I got two lines on the test, so I'm sure I'm pregnant. I'll just assume there's a little life inside me.

Lin Yu listened to Gu Zhiyao's explanation and found it reasonable. Yes, Zheng Yuanxi and Wen Ya must not know that Gu Zhiyao is pregnant. Even He Yi must not know. Who knows what he is thinking? Will he suspect that Zhiyao is planning to get pregnant secretly and deliberately say that so that he can get rid of the child as soon as possible?

He did that before he was even married to Zheng Yuanxi, and now that he and Zheng Yuanxi are preparing for their wedding and have even undergone IVF, he naturally wouldn't allow Zhiyao's child to be born.

Even though Lin Yu was reluctant, she agreed with Gu Zhiyao's decision. "Luckily, the visa is still valid, so we can go anytime. Yao, I suggest we fly from another city again this time? Just treat it as a business trip. By the way, you should tell Lin Houze that you're going abroad, what if he asks..."

“I told him today.” Gu Zhiyao then told Lin Yu about what happened tonight.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes welled up with tears, and she hugged Gu Zhiyao tightly, her heart breaking.

She had thought it all through; it was going to be so difficult!

"When do you plan to go?" Lin Yu asked, her voice choked with emotion.

"There's no need to rush this. I'll go back to the company tomorrow to continue working with Lin Houze and then hand over some cases to him. It should take at least half a month. Ayu, this time I didn't go to the hospital or the pharmacy. Even if He Yi sends someone to follow me, he won't be able to find out or even think that I'm pregnant. I'll just leave before my belly shows."

"But the sooner the better. Just to avoid any unforeseen complications." Lin Yu then revealed her reluctance, "Then I'll have to part ways with you again. Why don't I go out too? After being blacklisted this time, I'm actually tired of this kind of life. In this society, how easy is it for ordinary people to stand out? Others can destroy the results of your years of hard work with just a flick of their fingers."

"No, Ayu, don't be discouraged. This matter has been resolved, and He Yi has promised me that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future."

"He agreed, do you believe him?" Lin Yu asked.

Gu Zhiyao remained silent, but she believed it in her heart at the time.

After a while, Lin Yu continued, "Yao, I don't know what to say to you. Seriously, can you please stop loving He Yi? This is what people call 'love-struck.' I hope you won't make any more foolish mistakes. Look at you, you should have rejected him when he came here last time. Although being pregnant now is a good thing, making up for the regret and pain of last time, you still love that bastard He Yi..."

"I know, Ayu, don't worry about me. I won't be polite to him anymore. Everything will be for the sake of the child!" Gu Zhiyao murmured, her slender hand slowly stroking her lower abdomen. Her words and actions revealed an unprecedented determination and courage.
