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

Chapter 114 A Nighttime Visit

"Yuanyuan?" He Yi immediately raised his voice and looked at her incredulously, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

“I’m not talking nonsense, Ayi. This is the best solution I’ve come up with after careful consideration. My mother has already told me what she told you. First of all, please forgive my mother’s directness. She’s just too worried about her daughter. I hope you won’t hold it against her. But she’s right. My body really can’t get pregnant. If I force myself and something happens, I won’t even be able to stay with you for the rest of my life. How can I talk about having children? I can’t let you be unfilial to your grandmother. The only way is for you to have a child with another woman.”

"Yuanyuan!" He Yi continued to growl, his expression becoming increasingly exasperated.

Zheng Yuanxi, however, remained calm and composed, and smiled at him again, "Ayi, don't get excited, let me finish, okay? That child will be raised by me, as if he were my own. You might need to help me plan this out, and we'll have to deceive your grandmother a little, but this is the best way."

My mom said that if you can't accept her request, she'll make us break up. But I can't live without you, Yi. I want to marry you, I want to see the grand wedding you've prepared for me, I want to be the happiest bride in the world. So, please, for the sake of your love for me, grant me this request.

"After thinking it over, I feel that instead of finding a strange woman, it would be better to find Gu Zhiyao. We know her inside and out, and she is easy to control. We will give her a sum of money. And you know what? Ever since I caused Gu Zhiyao to miscarry, I have been living in unease. I even wonder if what I am doing now is retribution, or God's punishment for me causing Gu Zhiyao's child to miscarry."

So I want to take this opportunity to give Gu Zhiyao a child. Although the child won't grow up by her side, she'll know the child is alive and well, will receive a top-notch education and care, and will become the esteemed heir of the He family in the future. She'll be very happy then. Ah Yi, shall we proceed with this plan?

After Zheng Yuanxi finished speaking, a long silence fell over the air.

He Yi stared at her intently, as if she were a monster.

He couldn't believe these words came from Zheng Yuanxi's mouth. She was Zheng Yuanxi, the proud Zheng Yuanxi.

Then, he felt a deep sense of guilt.

He's the one who turned her from someone so proud and confident into this!

Therefore, how could he possibly accept this, and how could he do such an absurd thing?

But Zheng Yuanxi had made up her mind. In the past, she might have been moved by his rejection, but her mind was filled with the images Wen Ya had shown her, and it was these images that completely broke her down.

Suddenly, she showed all the photos and videos to He Yi.

He Yi froze completely after seeing it.

“Ayi, I’m showing you this not to blame you. You’re a normal man with normal needs, I understand. I’m already very grateful that you’ve been able to keep yourself pure all these years.”

"I can't deny that I'm jealous, but I won't blame you. Since you also have feelings for Gu Zhiyao, and since you like her, my suggestion is the most appropriate. It's better than asking you to find another strange woman to do that kind of thing. I believe you wouldn't want that either. I believe that the person I love deeply isn't indiscriminate!" Zheng Yuanxi said, crying.

"Enough, Yuanyuan, stop talking, okay? You're not allowed to say these things!" He Yi roared in anguish. "I don't like Gu Zhiyao. It's not what you think between us."

"It's not what I think? You mean these photos are photoshopped? Or, the person in them isn't you? Or did Gu Zhiyao seduce you? But Ayi, even if Gu Zhiyao did seduce you, you didn't refuse, you didn't push her away, right? That was in public, with so many eyes possibly watching, yet you let her do such... intimate things to you? Based on your personality, if you didn't like being touched by others, you would have pushed them away long ago, but you didn't."

You even planned to have her bear your child, Ayi. If you say you have no feelings for her whatsoever, you're just deceiving yourself. Please stop lying to me. I'd rather you tell me the truth, even if you really like her, than have you lie to me and then I find out about those lies elsewhere. It's like a sharp knife stabbing into my heart. The person I always thought loved me the most is torturing me like this!

This was the most direct and unreserved thing I've ever said.

These words incisively pierced through the already precarious bottom line between the two.

He Yi was shocked once again as he watched Zheng Yuanxi's pained and desperate state, her completely reckless attitude. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind went completely blank.

Some time later, he reached out to hug her and explain, but she dodged him, and his words got stuck in his throat; he couldn't utter a single one.

Yes, why didn't he push her away? Even if Gu Zhiyao took the initiative unexpectedly, he could have refused.

So why not refuse?

He Yi also questioned himself in his heart, but unfortunately he couldn't find an explanation!

At this moment, Zheng Yuanxi called her mother, meaning to ask her to come in.

He Yi couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

Soon, Zheng's mother came in. Sensing the unusual atmosphere in the room, she felt a pang of sadness, but still spoke to He Yi politely.

"Ayi, you're busy with work, go back now. I'm fine, don't worry about me, my mom will stay with me," Zheng Yuanxi said nonchalantly, as if nothing had happened.

He Yi stared at her intently until Zheng's mother came forward and said something to him. He then nodded to Zheng's mother, gave Zheng Yuanxi a deep look, and turned to leave.

The moment the door closed, Zheng Yuanxi collapsed into her mother's arms and burst into tears.

Zheng's mother called out anxiously, "Yuanyuan, what happened? What did you and Ayi talk about just now? I'm sorry, I was just too worried about you and acted impulsively. If you don't want things to turn out that way, just pretend I never said those things. If you need me to intervene, I can talk to He Yi and tell him it was all my idea, that you don't want to break up with him, and that the wedding will proceed as scheduled. As for the old lady, we'll find a way to persuade her."

Zheng Yuanxi shook her head vigorously, her slender white hands gripping her mother's clothes tightly, and continued to sob uncontrollably.

After leaving the hospital, He Yi drove straight to Gu Zhiyao's residence.

Lin Yu happened to be away on a business trip these past few days.

Gu Zhi went to bed early, but was woken up by a phone call. When she picked it up, she saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

She didn't answer immediately, but just then she heard faint knocking on the door outside, so she got out of bed and went out.

Someone really knocked on the door, and it was a very violent one.

Her phone kept ringing.

Is the person who called her the same person who is knocking on the door?

But who?

A few seconds later, Gu Zhiyao answered the phone.

"Open the door!" The man's deep voice, tinged with barely suppressed rage, immediately reached my ears.

It's He Yi!
