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

Chapter 547 Can I sleep here tonight?

He Yi then realized that he was completely weak, and he reflexively sat back on the bed.

Xiao Cui continued to ask him, "Young Master He, what do you want to do? Can I help you with it?"

"Go tell Miss Gu that I've woken up and would like her to come over," He Yi said.

Xiao Cui was taken aback, but quickly replied with an "okay" and went to Gu Zhiyao's dormitory.

Because of the commotion last night, Gu Zhiyao was listlessly looking at Xiaobao. When she heard Xiao Cui say that He Yi wanted her to come over, her muddled thoughts finally cleared up a bit.

Ask Xiaocui, "Has his fever subsided?"

"I just measured it, 37.8 degrees Celsius, I think there should be no problem."

Then everything is fine.

Gu Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief.

“Miss Gu, is it convenient for you to come over now? I saw that Young Master He was looking for you in a hurry. He was just trying to get out of bed and almost fell down.” Xiao Cui continued, “If you don’t have anything else to do for the moment, would you like to go and see him? Although the fever has subsided, he won’t get better so quickly. When you’re sick, your mood is very important.”

Gu Zhiyao looked at Xiao Cui's cautious yet expectant expression, and remembering that everyone in the room seemed to be speaking well of him, she smiled bitterly and nodded, "Okay, I'll give Xiao Bao some water and then I'll go over."

"Okay, then I'll go see Young Master He first and tell him." Xiao Cui left happily.

A moment later, Gu Zhiyao also stepped out of the bedroom and came to the next room.

Xiao Cui wasn't there; only He Yi was lying on the bed, his eyes fixed on the door. When he saw her, he was clearly delighted and quickly sat up.

Gu Zhiyao bit her lip, but still walked over, and he immediately took her hands in his.

"You were the one who kept wiping my body to bring down my fever last night, right? That means you were really worried about me and cared about me a lot. Thank you, Gu Zhiyao. I never thought that being sick would turn out to be a blessing in disguise. This illness really came at the right time, it's so good!"

Uh—Gu Zhiyao was embarrassed and looked at him speechlessly, trying to pull her hand back.

But He Yi wouldn't let go. He continued to gaze at her with excitement and passion, his eyes growing increasingly fiery. Suddenly, without warning, he kissed her lips.

Gu Zhiyao's mind went blank, and she froze. When she came to her senses, she struggled, "He Yi, don't do this! Let me go, or I'll get angry, He Yi!"

Hearing that she was about to get angry, He Yi stopped and said, "I'm sorry, I really couldn't hold back anymore. I haven't touched you for months. I... I miss you so much, I want to do 'that' with you. Gu Zhiyao, please come back to me, okay? You clearly have feelings for me. Let's get back together. I promise you I will cherish you, love you, and pamper you from now on. Also, I will pursue you again and let you experience a proper love. We'll date first, then propose, and then get married. Please give me a chance!"

His dark eyes sparkled, shining as brightly as stars.

Gu Zhiyao stared at him blankly, her mind in turmoil.

Dating, proposing, getting married.

These were steps she had always dreamed of, but she never got to take them. Now that she's past that age and has experienced many hardships, she's finally reached them, but has the meaning changed? Is it no longer necessary?

She wanted to refuse, to tell him to stop messing around, but she found that she couldn't send a single word.

Later, Niu Niu and Chen Chen appeared and saved the situation.

Gu Zhiyao took the opportunity to leave.

Even though she dared not face it, He Yi still took action. Perhaps because he had something to rely on and something to look forward to, his illness came and went quickly. He was able to leave his room in the afternoon and fully recovered the next day.

He had the nanny and bodyguards reposition the gardenia seedlings, and then picked another bouquet of flowers and delivered it to Gu Zhiyao's bedroom.

Looking at his handsome and gentle smiling face, Gu Zhiyao felt complicated and didn't know what to do.

Later, Lin Yu visited again, and she confided in Lin Yu. After a moment's thought, Lin Yu said, "Could it be that he deliberately used a self-inflicted injury as a ruse?"

A bitter plot?

Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but recall the scene at that time, but he was indeed in a lot of pain. Moreover, a cold and fever could be a minor or major issue. His body hadn't fully recovered since donating a kidney to Yifei, so what if something really went wrong...?

“Okay, I was just saying it offhand. Logically, it shouldn’t be like this, but he’s really going all out. He’d even risk his life for those gardenias you love. Yao, I think you should give him a chance. You once dreamed of becoming his girlfriend, dating him, and getting married. Now that he’s brought it up, why not give it a try? It would make your life worthwhile,” Lin Yu continued.

Then her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked with emotion, "I feel sorry for you. You've never truly been loved or happy in your life, and I hope to make it up to you. As for any fears you may have, put them aside for now. No matter how much pain you feel, it's not that big of a deal. Besides, we'll all be there for you. You've forgotten, you have three children. They are your strongest support. With them, nothing else matters!"

After Lin Yu's persuasion and understanding, Gu Zhiyao's mindset finally changed. When He Yi tried to please her again, she no longer resisted or refused.

Soon, she turned one month old.

Considering her special relationship with He Yi, the old lady didn't officially get married yet. Although she didn't make a big fuss, she still held a small full-moon banquet and invited close relatives to attend.

Everyone knew what was going on and offered their blessings. He Yi was the happiest person there, and could even be described as riding high.

Several of his childhood friends also attended the full moon celebration. Seeing his face flushed from toasting everyone, they couldn't help but tease and ridicule him. He didn't get angry or avoid it, but instead took the opportunity to say how happy he was, and even boasted that his fourth child's full moon celebration would be coming soon.

"Wow, I know you're strong in certain areas, but are you sure you can do this? Don't you need to ask the mother of your child first? Even though she's not as hostile or cold towards you as before, I'm guessing she hasn't completely forgiven you yet?"

"Brother, the revolution is not yet complete!"

"That's right, there's still a long road ahead, you have to keep going!"

"We can't offer any other help, so let's cheer you on with a drink! Cheers!"

The group kept toasting He Yi, and He Yi accepted every toast, eventually getting completely drunk.

After the banquet ended, the guests left one after another, the children washed up and went to bed, and the old lady also drifted off to sleep happily. Gu Zhiyao had taken a bath and was breastfeeding her baby when suddenly He Yi barged in.

After seeing his childhood friends off, he stood in the garden for a while, lost in thought. It was only after the nanny reminded him that he came inside, but instead of going back to his bedroom, he came straight here.

Because he was drunk, he walked unsteadily, and Gu Zhiyao's expression changed drastically. She stared at him in disbelief until he came up to her and stared intently at a certain part of her body, his eyes burning with desire. Only then did she realize what was happening. She quickly turned around and said, "Why aren't you asleep yet? I'll call Xiao Cui and the others and ask them to help you back to your room."

"No, I want to sleep with you, Gu Zhiyao. Can I sleep here tonight? Just for one night, please." He Yi pounced on her, his tall and imposing body collapsing onto her.

A strong aroma of alcohol wafted through the air.

Gu Zhiyao froze!
