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

Chapter 436 You're going to spare their lives?

“I never imagined I would give birth to such a devoted son. But he is just like this. Gu Zhiyao, I really hate you, you know? Although I know that all of this may have nothing to do with you and I can’t blame you, I still can’t help it. You not only made Ayi like this, but you also made Yifei devoted to you. Because of loving you, he has suffered a lot! And this painful life is not over yet. It will continue in the future. He may not even know when it will end, because only when he truly lets go of you will he be reborn!” He hope’s eyes were already red.

Gu Zhiyao's eyes also welled up with tears. At that moment, she suddenly understood He Xi and comprehended his feelings!

This is a mother's heartache, helplessness, grief, and resentment!

"Originally, I had decided to give up because I saw how stubborn he was and I didn't want to see him suffer every day. But suddenly Ah Yi insisted that he couldn't live without you. One is my younger brother who I have relied on since childhood, and the other is my son whom I carried for ten months and raised with great difficulty. They are the most important people in my life. I don't want them to become enemies because of you, so I had no choice but to come and beg you."

"That's right, Gu Zhiyao, I'm not here to scold you today, but to beg you. Please, spare their lives. If you still have feelings for A-Yi, remarry him. That way, Yi-Fei will finally give up. Although he'll still be in pain in the short term, time will heal all wounds. Besides, his father plans to transfer him to another city after the New Year, so you won't see each other anymore, making it easier for him to let go. This is the best solution right now, Gu Zhiyao."

Gu Zhiyao certainly didn't want Yifei to suffer!

The person she cherishes most and can't bear to see suffer the most is Yifei!

But to make her marry He Yi...

That's impossible!

Despite He hope's expectant, even pleading, gaze, Gu Zhiyao still refused to come out. "I'm sorry, I can't marry He Yi. My husband can only be the one I love. And he can never be."

"If you don't love A-Yi, then who do you love? Do you love Yi-Fei?"

"I...cannot love Yifei for the time being."

"If you don't love them, why are you still entangled with them? Gu Zhiyao, are you feeling smug? How can you play with them like this? You have to make a choice today, either Ayi or Yifei. Choose one, instead of dragging both of them along! Gu Zhiyao, I won't allow you to do this!" He Xi became agitated again, grabbing Gu Zhiyao's arm and shaking it violently.

Caught off guard, Gu Zhiyao's body immediately began to shake violently as she struggled.

Ke Hexi seemed to have gone mad, grabbing her and relentlessly questioning her, demanding that she choose one.

Gu Zhiyao was so dizzy and her body ached that she was almost in pain. Just then, a powerful force intervened and pulled He Xi away.

"Sis, calm down!"

It's He Yi.

He hope was taken aback at first, then shouted excitedly, "A Yi, let me go! Do you know what she said to me? I politely asked her to choose between you and Yi Fei, and she actually said that she doesn't love either of you and won't marry either of you. Haha, who does she think she is? What right does she have to treat you like this!"

He Yi's brows furrowed deeply as he continued to hold He hope tightly. "Sister, let me take you out."

"I'm not leaving. I won't let her go until she gives me an explanation! Ah Yi, help me make this ungrateful woman make a choice and stop her from ruining both of you!"

Seeing his sister's obvious loss of control, He Yi frowned even more. He glanced at Gu Zhiyao, then said to He hope, "Sis, leave this to me. You can go out first. I'll handle it."

"How are you going to handle this? She's completely ignoring you. Don't think I don't know! I just don't understand. With your looks and resources, you could have any woman you want, yet you chose such an ungrateful scoundrel like her. You and Yifei are both idiots!"

He Yi remained calm and composed, and after some persuasion, he finally managed to coax He hope out.

He returned here later.

He looked at Gu Zhiyao meaningfully.

Gu Zhiyao's emotions were still in turmoil. Suddenly, she packed her things and rushed out of the room.

He Yi grabbed her, "Where are you going?"

"Let me go!" Gu Zhiyao shouted directly.

“You want to leave? But you promised Grandma you’d stay here overnight. If Grandma finds out, she’ll not only be sad, but she’ll also scold your sister. Is that what you want to see?” He Yi held her tightly, speaking slowly and deliberately.

Gu Zhiyao paused, but still swung her arm, "I'll go explain to Grandma He."

“My sister has already left. I won’t let her bother you again. She cares too much about Yifei and is afraid that Yifei will be sad and in pain. Please don’t hold it against her for Yifei’s sake. It’s almost 10 o’clock now. No matter what, you have to stay until tomorrow. Grandma has been looking forward to this kind of family reunion for a long time. Let her enjoy it. Gu Zhiyao, let’s let Grandma enjoy this rare and wonderful time!”

As he finished speaking, He Yi's voice was low and deep. He stared at her intently, his dark eyes filled with sorrow and loneliness.

An inexplicable tremor ran through Gu Zhiyao's heart, but she gradually calmed down.

A moment of stillness fell over the air.

Until the phone rang.

Gu Zhiyao's WeChat rang; Xiao Lin had video-called her.

Gu Zhiyao glanced at He Yi, gesturing for him to leave.

But He Yi looked at her meaningfully without making a sound.

Gu Zhiyao said coldly, "He Yi, if you want me to stay here any longer, get out of here right now!"

He Yi frowned, glanced at her a few more times, and then turned and left.

Gu Zhiyao closed the door before answering the video call.

The image revealed Xiao Lin's gentle and refined face.

"Zhiyao, Happy New Year!" Xiao Lin greeted her with a smile, offering his congratulations first.

"Happy New Year, Brother Xiao Lin!" Gu Zhiyao smiled and asked, "Are you very busy with work?"

Xiao Lin's eyes flickered for a moment, then he said, "Yeah, I'm working on some tender documents. It's a holiday in China, but we're working normally here. By the way, you guys should be preparing for the New Year now, right? Is the New Year atmosphere very strong over there? It's Niu Niu's first time celebrating the New Year in China, the little girl must be very excited and curious."

"Yes, Grandma He invited us to spend the New Year at her place. Just now, I took Chenchen and Niuniu to the ancestral home to keep watch. Niuniu kept asking to set off fireworks, but I was worried about the danger, so I told her to wait until she's older."

"Hehe, she must be very upset. But with Chenchen watching over her, she should be fine." Actually, Xiao Lin wanted to ask her if He Yi was also there. On such an important day of family reunion, He Yi, as a member of the He family, must be with them, right?

What about Yifei?

Although Yifei was her nephew, Grandma He always doted on him.

Both of them were present, and it was unclear how Zhiyao would respond.
