Chapter 145 Return at Night
Until Quan Xinyu called.
After hearing Quan Xinyu's report, He Yi replied, "I'll go back now."
He got back into the car and drove out of the garage.
After arriving at the company, I was busy until 6 p.m.
Quan Xinyu brought in the collected information for him, but it wasn't something he needed urgently today. Remembering that He Yi had been going straight back to Zhiyao's house whenever he didn't have any social engagements in the past few days, he hesitated and asked, "President, are you going straight home later?"
He Yi put down his pen, looked at Quan Xinyu for a few seconds, and asked, "What other activities are planned for later?"
"The chairman of Honghui Group originally invited you to dinner, but he is feeling unwell and said he would postpone it for a few days," Quan Xinyu reported.
He Yi nodded and then fell silent.
Quan Xinyu was puzzled for a moment, wondering what this meant.
Should I go home or not?
Seeing that He Yi showed no sign of leaving and continued to bury himself in his work, Quan Xinyu didn't say anything more and left first.
He Yicai left the company at around 8 o'clock.
He made a phone call to Lai Haoning.
"We're at Nightshade. Chen Ze had a fight with his girlfriend and wants to go out for drinks. You suddenly called me, is something wrong? Are you coming over? We just started, you can come over for a meal while you're at it."
He Yi hesitated for a moment, then responded with an "Mm." About 20 minutes later, they arrived at the club where everyone usually gathered.
Aside from Chen Ze being preoccupied with his own troubles and not in the mood for humor, Lai Haoning and Meng Xiao watched him with great interest, then teased, "You and Zheng Yuanxi had another fight? I'm saying, are you two going through that long-term itch? I've never seen you two like this before. Everyone, do you think this is a sign that A-Yi is starting to get tired of you?"
"Come on, it's normal for couples to argue. Chen Ze argues too, but ask him if he's willing to let go of He Lu?" Meng Xiao said.
Chen Ze was already in a bad mood, and being called out made him frown even more, giving the two of them a cold glare.
Meng Xiao turned his attention back to He Yi and said seriously, "Is it still about the child? If all else fails, why don't you go and sleep with Gu Zhiyao again, or even twice? With your abilities, you'll definitely get pregnant."
"She's pregnant," He Yi said unexpectedly.
"What!" Everyone was stunned.
"Is this why Zheng Yuanxi argued with you?"
"Wasn't this her idea? What's the point of making a scene now? I always said that women aren't that magnanimous, and you actually believed it. I think you've really fallen for her. You become a fool whenever it comes to her!"
"What's the big deal? We can't expect Gu Zhiyao to abort the child again, and she wouldn't agree anyway. It seems she was the one who overturned Wen Shiren's case last time. If you push her too far, she might do the same to you. There are witnesses and physical evidence. If she really wanted to deal with you, it would be much easier than the Wen Shiren case. You should be careful. Talk to Zheng Yuanxi properly. You've given her love and a title. What else could she possibly want? It's not like you wanted this. It's her own fault for not being able to have children."
"Alright, stop talking!" Meng Xiao nudged Lai Haoning, signaling that He Yi was unhappy.
Seeing He Yi's rather gloomy face, Lai Haoning said, "I'm doing this for you. You're my good brother, of course I'm on your side. Actually, thinking about it, Gu Zhiyao is quite pitiful. She risked her health to donate bone marrow to you, and was forced to be your womb, getting pregnant one child after another. I think, no matter what, don't abort this time. Miscarriages are very harmful to a woman's body. Chen Ze is the most qualified to say on this, isn't he?"
Chen Ze gave him another cold glare.
Lai Haoning laughed, "I was just giving an example."
He Yi remained silent throughout, simply drinking his wine in silence, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Around 11 o'clock.
He said goodbye to everyone.
"Don't worry, love is never smooth sailing. You've only just begun. There will be all sorts of problems after marriage. Just take it easy. My cousin and her husband argue every day, but they're still inseparable. That's how it is with couples. You and Zheng Yuanxi are inseparable; you're destined to be together for life," Meng Xiao offered as a final word of comfort.
He Yi gave him a meaningful look a few times before leaving the club.
He asked Quan Xinyu to pick him up.
When Quan Xinyu learned that he had come to drink, and seemed to have drunk quite a bit, he was surprised again, recalling the phone call from earlier that day.
Since He Yi didn't say, he didn't dare to ask, but he could roughly guess that He Yi was in a bad mood because of the phone call during the day.
What happened in the end?
Quan Xinyu still didn't dare to ask, and just focused on driving.
He Yiwei leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep but not quite.
Once the car returned to the underground parking garage, Quan Xinyu woke He Yi up, "President, we've arrived."
He Yi opened his eyes, his expression blank.
This was another rare situation for Quan Xinyu, and his heart was filled with emotion. Then, he asked, "Shall I take you up?"
"No need, you should go home early. Don't you have to meet guests tomorrow?" He Yi said, getting out of the car.
Quan Xinyu watched him walk into the elevator before getting back into his car. He sat and waited for a while, estimating that He Yi had arrived home, before starting the car and driving away.
He Yi had indeed returned home. He looked around the entire living room, then habitually walked to the balcony, only to find it empty and Gu Zhiyao nowhere to be seen. His eyes flickered slightly, and then he went back inside to Gu Zhiyao's bedroom.
Gu Zhiyao was naturally having a very bad day as well.
After being comforted by Aunt Li, she patiently waited for He Yi to return, but he never showed up, not even sending a message or making a phone call. Her heart sank.
Seeing her sadness, Aunt Li kept comforting her with the baby. At dinner, Gu Zhiyao tried her best to eat, her eyes full of tears.
"Silly girl, don't cry, okay? Maybe President He is busy with work. He'll be back when he's done."
"Thank you, Aunt Li. Actually, I know what happened. I'm busy with work, but you don't even have time to make a phone call or send a message? No matter how busy you are, you wouldn't do this." Gu Zhiyao stopped crying, but her eyes were still red.
After finishing her meal, she habitually went to the balcony to get some fresh air.
"Aunt Li, it's getting late, you should go home now."
Aunt Li shook her head, she didn't trust her at all.
“I’m fine. I’ve gotten through the toughest times before. Now, everything will be alright. Just like you said, the baby is the most important thing, and I have to be responsible for her.”
"Yes, you need to think more about the baby; the baby is more important than anything else."
Despite her repeated urging, Aunt Li left.
She remained nestled on the lounge chair on the balcony, recalling that day when he had been aroused by her and lost control, and they had done *that* to each other right there. Although he stopped halfway through, it was still done.
Later, he took her to see shooting stars, and these past few days, he has treated her so gently.
If it weren't for what happened today, she would still be living in a beautiful dream.
At ten o'clock, she returned to her dormitory from the balcony and cried silently, eventually falling asleep while still crying.
So even now, her peaceful sleeping face still shows traces of tears.
He Yi first stared at her silently for a moment, then slowly stroked her face with his fingers.
Suddenly, Gu Zhiyao woke up.
She stared at him intently, but her eyes were no longer filled with infatuation; instead, they were cold and indifferent.
He Yi immediately frowned, clearly showing his displeasure. When he heard Gu Zhiyao's next words, his handsome face turned completely gloomy.
