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

Chapter 321 Do we really have to have another child for him?

“Brother Xiao Lin, I understand your feelings and I am very grateful to you, but I feel that I can’t take your love for granted. You have already helped me enough, and I don’t want to hold you back like this. You should go back to a normal life.”

“Zhiyao, don’t say such things. It’s only right that I help you. We grew up together, and I’ve said for a long time that I would protect you, accompany you, and make you happy. As for your so-called normal life, there’s nothing wrong with my life. All these years, you and Niu Niu have been with me. Even if I’m tired from working outside, the thought of coming home to see you makes all my fatigue disappear.”

Gu Zhiyao stared at his sincere and earnest expression, speechless.

What he just said may have some merit, but we're all adults, and some things are better left unsaid.

Her idea of ​​a normal life goes beyond that. He's a normal man, in the prime of his life, and surely he has needs in that area. She doesn't want him to sacrifice for that!

"Alright, don't think so much. We can take our time with the divorce. Anyway, I haven't met anyone I like yet. If I do meet someone someday, it won't be too late to divorce you then."

“But since you’re nominally husband and wife, other women will think you’re married. Even if they like you, they won’t dare let you know,” Gu Zhiyao said.

“That just means we’re not meant to be. If we were a perfect match, we would have ended up together anyway. This is actually a test. The fact that we can fall in love under these circumstances means we’re destined to be together. So, you really don’t need to think so much. I’m very satisfied with my life right now, Zhiyao, really.” Xiao Lin patted her head, his face and eyes still showing sincerity. “Besides, although Chenchen is back by your side now, things aren’t stable yet. We still need to be wary of Zheng Yuanxi making a comeback. If we divorce at this critical juncture, it will definitely attract their attention. Not to mention they might think you’ve lost your backer and take the opportunity to deal with you, if they investigate further and find out that Niu Niu is also He Yi’s daughter, that would be a huge problem.”

Gu Zhiyao stared at him intently, and after a moment, slowly said, "Brother Xiao Lin, actually, He Yi already knows Niu Niu's true identity."

"What? When did he find out?" Xiao Lin asked in surprise, his expression instantly turning serious.

“Yesterday. It must have been the day I took Niu Niu and Chen Chen to say goodbye to Grandma He. I inadvertently mentioned that Niu Niu doesn’t eat eggs, which made the old lady suspicious, because Chen Chen doesn’t eat them either, and neither does He Yi. He Yi has already taken Niu Niu’s sample and his own for a paternity test. I’ve seen the report.” Gu Zhiyao omitted the details of He Yi’s visit to her last night.

Xiao Lin finally remembered her insomnia last night, and it seemed to be related to this.

"He actually found out, but he still let you leave with Chenchen and Niuniu. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have let you leave. If you appeal, the court should at least award him one of the children. What is he trying to do?" Xiao Lin wondered. "No wonder you said you couldn't sleep last night, it must be because of this."

Gu Zhiyao then recalled how He Yi had bullied her last night, and the bastard things he had said, such as asking her to have another child for him.

She wasn't sure if he said that just to bully her, or if he really intended to. If he really intended to, it wasn't impossible, after all, he had done a lot of terrible things before. If he had a conscience, maybe he wouldn't do this, but he was an absolute beast, a piece of scum!

Seeing her indignant expression, Xiao Lin hugged her and comforted her, "No matter what, I won't let him bully you. Chenchen and Niu Niu will be by your side. Don't worry, I will find the evidence that Zheng Yuanxi harmed you back then as soon as possible. Maybe we can use this evidence to make a deal with him. By the way, does Zheng Yuanxi know about Niu Niu's true background? If she does, she will definitely appeal as soon as possible."

"I don't know, but I should know, since He Yi loves Zheng Yuanxi so much, he would definitely tell Zheng Yuanxi this news." Gu Zhiyao's mood was indeed very heavy, and a deep unease rose in her heart again.

"Then we need to speed things up. It's alright. We were lucky to get custody of Chenchen. We'll get through this difficult time safely. Of course, we still need to take necessary precautions. I'll send someone to follow Chenchen and Niuniu to ensure their safety."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao Lin."

"You're welcome. Don't be too pessimistic. If anything's on your mind, just tell me. Don't keep it bottled up inside, okay? Zhiyao, you are the bravest and greatest mother in the world! God will not let you down!"

"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Xiao Lin."

"Go to sleep. You must be tired after a long day on the plane. Take a shower and get some rest. See you tomorrow."

Good night, Xiao Lin, you should get some rest too.

After Xiao Lin left, Gu Zhiyao pondered for a moment, then picked up her clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Some marks on her body hadn't completely disappeared, and Gu Zhiyao noticed them at a glance. Then, she couldn't help but recall the scenes from last night, and her hand slowly covered her abdomen.

Should I really have another child with him?

The thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

She quickly shook it off and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Gu Zhiyao, he's crazy, are you going to go crazy too?

It was one thing to not know the situation before, but now you see clearly what kind of person he is and have witnessed how bad he is. Why would you still want to get involved with him?

And since you've taken the medicine, it's absolutely impossible for you to have it!

Wow…

Gu Zhiyao quickly turned on the tap, and the warm water sprayed down from the showerhead, washing over her entire body and clearing away the chaotic thoughts in her mind...

Perhaps she was too tired, because she slept very soundly that night and didn't wake up until 7:30 the next day.

Originally scheduled to return to work next Monday, she decided to take advantage of these few days to familiarize Chenchen with the environment. After breakfast, she took the two siblings for a walk nearby. Yifei was also going back to school, and Xiaolin had a lot of things to deal with at the company, so only Aunt Hua accompanied them.

However, Gu Zhiyao was not inconvenienced and spent the whole day out. She continued to spend time with the little one in the following days, and even after returning to work, she tried her best to go home whenever possible.

Even Niu Niu said that her mother was biased. "Before my brother came back, Mom was so busy with work that she didn't have time to spend with me at all! Mom, do you like my brother more than me? You can't do that. My brother and I are both your biological children. You can't be biased."

Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but laugh. She pinched the little girl's cute face and glanced at her son. She saw him smiling at her, and Gu Zhiyao felt even happier. Just as she was about to comfort the little girl, she heard her son speak.
