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

Chapter 411 Two Small Assists

Beep beep—just then, the sound of a cell phone broke the silence.

It's He Yi's phone.

After finishing the call, he came to Gu Zhiyao's side and said, "I have to go back to the company. I'm leaving this to you. Call me if anything happens."

Then he lowered his head and kissed Niu Niu, his voice extremely gentle, "Be a good girl and listen to Mommy, get well soon, and Daddy will take you to eat something delicious."

"Okay, I know, Daddy!" the little girl said sweetly.

He Yi touched her face again, then said a few words to Chenchen, looked back at Gu Zhiyao, and left.

Niu Niu immediately threw herself into Gu Zhiyao's arms and started to act cute. With He Yi no longer present, Gu Zhiyao relaxed and coaxed the little girl. Chenchen joined in, and the whole atmosphere was very pleasant.

By the afternoon, Niu Niu's temperature had returned to normal, and Gu Zhiyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Should we go back with Mom?" Based on past experience, even though the fever has subsided, she still needs to be well cared for for the next two days, and Gu Zhiyao was worried about leaving her here any longer.

But the little girl shook her head, "Mom, I want to stay a few more days. It's rare for Dad to come here, so I want to spend more time with him. He also said he wants to spend more time with me."

Gu Zhiyao stared blankly at the undisguised longing in her daughter's big eyes.

Previously, because of Xiao Lin, Niu Niu didn't lack fatherly love, but she never expected that Niu Niu would still yearn for He Yi's father so much. Shouldn't she have denied Niu Niu this right, shouldn't she have deprived her of this right in this way?

But she and He Yi were destined to be irreconcilable enemies, and since Niu Niu had chosen to be with her, she would inevitably lack a father's love.

"Mom, why don't you marry Dad? Dad's divorced from Aunt Zheng anyway, and you're planning to divorce Dad Xiao, so why don't you marry Dad? That way I can be with Mom and Dad every day!" Niu Niu suddenly said.

Gu Zhiyao composed herself, slightly shaken, "Niu Niu, how did you know Mommy is planning to divorce Daddy?"

"That day I overheard your conversation with Uncle Xiao. Mom, are you planning to divorce Uncle Xiao and marry Dad? If so, that would be wonderful..."

“No, that’s not what Mom meant. Even if Mom divorces Uncle Xiao, it’s not because she wants to marry your dad. In this life, Mom will never marry your dad!” Gu Zhiyao quickly said.

"Why?" the little girl asked, pouting.

Gu Zhiyao remained silent, lost in thought.

"Mom, why are you always so hostile towards Dad? My brother said it's because Dad made a mistake and upset you, but can't you forgive him just once? Every time I do something wrong, you say it's okay, I'll correct it. Why don't you ask Dad to change too? I believe he'll agree to change. Just give him a chance!" the little girl said, then rallied her ally, "Brother, you should also persuade Mom to forgive Dad. Dad is so good, handsome and capable. Where can you find a husband like that? Most importantly, he's our dad!"

Although Chenchen didn't say anything, he looked at Gu Zhiyao with earnest eyes.

Gu Zhiyao turned her face away, but Niu Niu continued to pull at Gu Zhiyao and press her for answers, becoming increasingly agitated. Gu Zhiyao couldn't hold back any longer and finally spoke up, "Your father's mistakes are different from yours. He has never respected Mom, never treated her as an equal. He is domineering, selfish, self-righteous, and does whatever he wants. He has hurt Mom time and time again, and Mom will never forget or let go of those hurts. You could say that all the pain Mom has experienced in her life was caused by him. Mom can never forgive him, and she can never be with him!"

Niu Niu and Chen Chen were both stunned when they heard this.

Gu Zhiyao took a deep breath and continued, "I understand how you feel. I also really want to give you a loving family, but I'm so sorry, Mommy can't do it. Mommy can't live with someone who pushed me into an abyss of despair, who never cared about me, and who only left me battered and bruised. Those past experiences are nightmares in my life. I don't even want to see him, so how can I be with him every day as if nothing happened? So Chenchen, Niuniu, I'm sorry, but Mommy promises you that I will do my best to love you and raise you to adulthood. Mommy also asks you not to make such requests again. Mommy doesn't want to have any unpleasantness with you because of this. Please understand Mommy, okay?"

Niu Niu cried, her little mouth pouting, her big, bright black eyes filled with glistening tears.

Chenchen was more composed, but she was also filled with sadness.

Gu Zhiyao was filled with guilt, but all she could do was look at them with guilt.

Unbeknownst to everyone, He Yi was standing right outside the door.

He quickly settled the company affairs and even went to Chinatown to buy a lot of snacks. Some of them were things he had bought for Gu Zhiyao when she was pregnant and went on a trip.

He carried the snacks and walked briskly straight here, only to hear Gu Zhiyao's words just as he reached the door.

She could never be with him in this lifetime.

I don't even want to see him!

Each word felt like a sharp pebble piercing his heart, striking his fragile soul.

A mocking smile appeared on his face.

He looked down at the steaming hot food in his hand, then took another step and slowly walked away from the doorway, heading out of the house.

Back in the car, He Yi slumped into the spacious seat, his mind replaying the words he had just heard, and recalling her repeated hysterical rejections, curses, and hatred towards him.

After some time, he picked up his phone, found her number, and sent a message: "I'm sorry, there was an emergency at the company, and I can't get away. Please take care of Niu Niu for the next couple of days. Call me if you need anything."

He stared at the text message for a while, then exited the app, started the car, and drove away.

Gu Zhiyao was taken aback when she received the message. Then, she casually told Chenchen and Niuniu about the situation.

"Oh, will anything happen, Mom? Tell Dad to be careful and to get enough rest so he doesn't overwork himself," Niu Niu said.

Gu Zhiyao pursed her lips and answered her yes.

Then start writing the information.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll take good care of them..."

After looking at it and finding it inappropriate, Gu Zhiyao deleted it.

"Okay, I got it. Niu Niu asked me to tell you to be careful and get plenty of rest."

But I still deleted it...

"Mom? Did you send the message?" Niu Niu asked.

Gu Zhiyao looked up from her phone screen and stared blankly at her daughter.

The little girl grabbed the phone, waved her little finger across it, and said, "Done, Mom, I've sent it for you!"

Uh—Gu Zhiyao took it and looked at it: "Daddy, it's me, Niu Niu. Okay, I know. You also need to be careful and get plenty of rest!"

Gu Zhiyao read the message a few times and didn't think anything was wrong. She then put the matter aside, asked Niu Niu what she wanted to eat, and asked Chenchen to keep her sister company while she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

He Yi returned to the company.

Li Xin was just about to leave the company when he saw him suddenly return. He was surprised and asked, "Didn't you say you were going home? Why did you come back again?"

He Yi ignored him, put the snacks on the coffee table, and leaned back wearily on the sofa.
