Chapter 465 He actually knelt down before her!
Chapter 465 He actually knelt down before her!
She once hoped to see him treat her gently, but it seemed that every time...
It's all endless harm, all nightmarish, leaving you covered in wounds.
"Gu Zhiyao, what's wrong? Gu Zhiyao..." He Yi became even more anxious when he saw that her expression was a little off.
Gu Zhiyao closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
She couldn't help but think of his indifference and violence, and the days when she was hurt.
"Gu Zhiyao?"
"I'm fine." Gu Zhiyao finally opened her eyes.
Yes, why think about these things? It will only make you unhappy and upset. I promised myself I wouldn't think about it anymore.
He Yi looked at her with concern, and suddenly felt a little regretful.
"I'm sorry, I was too hasty. I shouldn't have done this to you so quickly. I couldn't control myself, and I was thinking..."
"You've never given up on the idea of getting back together with me, have you?" Gu Zhiyao asked.
He Yi was taken aback. Meeting her cold and sharp gaze, he made his decision and nodded, "Yes, but I have no choice. I saw how much you rejected me before, especially after that accident at the airport. I felt that maybe I should really leave your life, as long as you live well. The truth is, I just can't do it. Gu Zhiyao, I've tried, and I still want to be with you."
"So you're using this opportunity to try and win me back? And last night when you took me, you had your own agenda. You thought that since we had sex, my feelings for you would change, and if I were lucky enough to get pregnant, you could gain status through your child. For the sake of the child, I might really let go of the past and live happily ever after with you."
Uh—He Yi's eyes widened slightly, not expecting that she had guessed everything correctly.
Seeing her growing increasingly cold and clearly angry expression, He Yi instinctively grabbed her and hurriedly said, "I admit I had those thoughts, but... I'm sorry, please don't be angry, okay? Please forgive me? I, I..."
In her memory, aside from his indifference and disgust towards her, he was always self-possessed, composed, and confident, as if nothing could faze him.
But now, he seems flustered and even somewhat at a loss.
He was completely different from the man I remembered.
He Yi, is your cowardice and panic just an act? Are you trying to gain my sympathy so I won't hold it against you?
Gu Zhiyao suddenly realized that she could no longer tell which of his actions were genuine and which were feigned. He was pretending too much, and she could no longer tell the difference.
“Gu Zhiyao…”
"Get out," Gu Zhiyao said coldly. At this moment, she really didn't want to see him. She wanted to calm down and didn't want to argue with him.
He Yi remained motionless, his brows furrowed slightly as he looked at her with frustration.
“He Yi, I don’t want to argue with you, so I hope you’ll leave. Otherwise, I don’t know what I might do,” Gu Zhiyao continued, her tone clearly revealing suppressed anger.
He Yi quickly patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll go out. Don't get agitated. Tell me what's wrong. I'm willing to be punished, however you want."
"Really? Then I'll make you turn yourself in and admit that you forced yourself on me against my will last night!" Gu Zhiyao said unexpectedly.
“Gu Zhiyao, you…” He Yi’s eyes widened again, filled with disbelief.
Gu Zhiyao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Let's go out."
Finally, He Yi left.
The air fell completely silent. Gu Zhiyao kept her eyes tightly closed, her heart pounding. She vaguely sensed a hint of fear.
Although he led the way last night and had ulterior motives, she could have refused. However, she didn't resist to the end, giving him a complete opportunity to achieve his goal. So it's her problem, and she also has a problem.
This problem terrified her.
He did win. In those gentle advances, when he risked his life to save her at the airport, when he helped her investigate the truth, when he took her to reunite with her father, when he accompanied her to the cemetery to pay respects to her mother, when he sheltered her from the wind and rain, and when he gently and carefully dried her hair, her heart was unknowingly touched, and she gradually and uncontrollably succumbed to his charm.
How to do.
Gu Zhiyao, how are you going to get out of this quagmire? Can you even get out of this quagmire? If you don't get out, what will happen in the future? Will you fall into the abyss of no return like before?
She was completely lost and confused, feeling only enveloped by deep fear and dread.
The phone rang.
It rang repeatedly for several minutes before Gu Zhiyao finally came to her senses and saw that the caller ID showed it was Niu Niu.
She answered the call.
"Mommy, where are you? Haven't you finished your business yet? How long will it take you to come over to Great-Grandma's? Dinner is all ready, we're all waiting for you and Daddy to come and eat!" Niu Niu's sweet and adorable voice was full of joy.
Originally, according to the plan, after she and He Yi visited her father, they would stop by the He family's old house to meet up with Chenchen and Niu Niu, but who knew these things would happen.
"Mom? Are you on the phone?"
"Yes, Mom is here." Gu Zhiyao said slowly, "Niu Niu, why don't you and your brother have dinner with Great-Grandma first? Mom still has some things to finish here, so I might not be able to make it over."
"Oh? Is that so? Okay then." The little girl's tone was clearly full of disappointment.
Gu Zhiyao tried her best to suppress her thoughts and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
"Uh, Mom, you don't need to apologize. Although I feel it's a bit of a pity, I understand. You go ahead and do your work. By the way, Dad is still with you, right? You should let Dad stay with you so that my brother and I can feel at ease."
Gu Zhiyao stiffened slightly, then said, "Okay, I understand."
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore, Mom. You go ahead and do your work."
After the call ended, Gu Zhiyao let her hands fall limply, burying her head in her hands, once again lost in confusion and disorientation.
A moment later, her hand was gently removed, and in her line of sight, she saw He Yi's familiar figure. Gu Zhiyao's expression immediately changed drastically, "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why are you still..."
"I'm sorry!" He Yi knelt down in front of her with a thud.
Gu Zhiyao was completely dumbfounded!
He is...
Although he had said he would accept whatever punishment she gave him, she never imagined he would kneel before her. He was such a high-spirited, powerful, and influential man, and he was kneeling in front of her like that.
For some reason, a surge of anger welled up inside Gu Zhiyao. Not wanting to see such a jarring scene, she simply walked outside.
He Yi quickly got up and caught up with her, saying, "Let's go to Grandma's house."
Gu Zhiyao stopped in her tracks, looked up at him intently, and then said angrily, "He Yi, do you think I'll forgive you just because you kneel down like this? Let me tell you, that's impossible. Don't try to gain my sympathy by playing the victim."
