Chapter 140 Rest More, Stay in Bed More
The phone kept ringing. He Yi looked thoughtful, glanced at Gu Zhiyao twice, and then answered the call.
Zheng Yuanxi's gentle voice came through, "Ayi, are you still at the company?"
He Yi paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes."
"You're very busy with work, right? But you should also take care of your health and not overwork yourself." Zheng Yuanxi's tone was full of concern and care.
“Okay,” He Yi said, remaining expressionless.
The phone call lasted for a while before ending.
He Yi put his phone back on the table, looked at Gu Zhiyao, and looked somewhat uncomfortable.
Gu Zhiyao naturally knew who was calling; his expression said it all.
The previous sweetness vanished instantly, replaced by bitterness.
Suddenly she thought, what is the point of everyone acting like this?
He was still so good to Zheng Yuanxi, still loved her so much. But what about her? What kind of person was she in his heart?
Just the child's mother?
But yesterday he spoke so gently to her, and knowing she wanted to see shooting stars, he specially took her to the He Group's Science and Technology Innovation Center to see a recorded shooting star—it was so beautiful and breathtaking.
He slept with her when he got home last night.
Recalling the scene, Gu Zhiyao felt a ripple in her heart. After finishing her meal, Aunt Li left, and she once again did those bold things to him.
This time, He Yi stopped it from the start.
"Brother He Yi." Gu Zhiyao looked at him pitifully.
Such a state is absolutely fatal.
He Yi felt a fire ignite within him naturally, his gaze fixed intently on her, his Adam's apple bobbing, but he ultimately held back, saying in a hoarse voice, "Get some rest."
"I don't want to. I want to do that kind of thing with you. Don't you want to? But I really want to, Brother He Yi. I want you to be with me." Gu Zhiyao tugged at his clothes.
"No." He Yi pressed her down.
“We’ll be careful. I’ll tell you as soon as I feel uncomfortable anywhere, and then we’ll stop. Brother He Yi, I really want to experience that joy again. Baby is very strong, he’ll be fine.” Gu Zhiyao said, reaching out her hand.
He Yi quickly stopped her, his voice slightly stern, and called out her name, "Gu Zhiyao!"
Gu Zhiyao ignored him and kept calling out to He Yi, and she even took off her clothes.
In the past, He Yi would have pushed her away without hesitation and humiliated her. But at this moment, he had no such thoughts. His deep, dark eyes swept over her exquisite body inch by inch, over that area that was so alluring and irresistible. He really wanted to go all out and press her down on him.
But in the end, he quickly helped her put on her clothes, saying, "Sweetie, wait a little longer. The baby's still a bit unstable these days. How about we wait a few days until the doctor says the baby is fine before we do anything else?"
He gently coaxed her, and Gu Zhiyao looked at him with a wronged and pitiful expression, then nodded, "Then it's a deal, if you lie to me, I won't forgive you."
He Yi subconsciously tapped her pouting lips with his finger. "Hmm, if I lied to you, you can punish me however you want!"
Gu Zhiyao nestled into his arms, quietly listening to his strong heartbeat. The charming blush on her face gradually faded, replaced by a bitter taste.
She knew perfectly well what she was doing, but she couldn't seem to find a way to get his attention. She couldn't get his unique love without doing anything like Zheng Yuanxi. She could only debase herself and use her body to please him and win his infatuation.
When Gu Zhiyao woke up the next day, He Yi had already left. Aunt Li had breakfast with her. She remembered Dr. Zhou and made a phone call to him.
When the professor heard that she hadn't succeeded in going abroad, he was stunned, and then hurriedly asked, "Where are you now? Is the baby alright?"
“The baby is fine. He Yi took me back to his place and let me stay here until the baby is born. Aunt Zhou, I may not be going abroad again,” Gu Zhiyao said softly.
“Not going abroad anymore... is actually quite good. I was worried that you might not be able to get used to living alone abroad, or if you would have any problems. But the situation forced you to go, and I couldn't stop you. Tell me your address, and I'll come see you. I'm not out on house calls today, and I'm worried about not being able to check on you.”
Gu Zhiyao was also looking forward to meeting the older woman, so she immediately gave her the address.
"Auntie, let me call a car for you. I'll have it wait for you in your neighborhood," Gu Zhiyao said considerately.
"No need, I can take a taxi by myself. It's not like I haven't taken one before. Don't worry about it. Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
"Then please be careful and don't rush."
"Ah."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhiyao told Aunt Li that a doctor was coming over, the same doctor who had treated her before, and asked Aunt Li to prepare something, such as food, drinks, fruit, or snacks. This was not difficult for Aunt Li, and she went to prepare it right away.
Dr. Zhou arrived faster than expected. As soon as she entered the room, her attention fell on Gu Zhiyao. "Have there been any unusual developments in the past few days? Are you sure the fetus is stable?"
Gu Zhiyao held her aunt's hand with emotion and replied, "Yes, He Yi has already arranged for a doctor to examine me. The baby is fine. I just need to rest and recover. I plan to stay at home for the next few days."
"Yes, rest more and stay in bed more." Only then did Aunt Zhou have the mood to look around. When she came here, she saw that everything here showed wealth and luxury. After entering the house, she knew even more how rich the man this girl had found was. But unfortunately, he loved another woman.
"You just said he agreed to let you have the baby, so what about him and his girlfriend? What kind of explanation does he plan to give you? You've already given birth to his child, he should at least give you a proper status," the old professor asked.
Gu Zhiyao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "We haven't talked about this yet, but he's been very nice to me these past two days. He even took me to see the shooting stars the night before last."
"Really? It seems things aren't too bleak. Let's take it slow. I saw he was quite concerned about your miscarriage last time; he seemed very anxious. It seems anything is possible."
Gu Zhiyao thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Aunt Zhou, I'd like you to take care of me throughout my entire pregnancy, and you can also deliver my baby. Is that alright?"
Dr. Zhou was taken aback. "Are you sure? Did you discuss this with him? You just said he has another doctor."
“I haven’t discussed it with him yet. I’ll talk to him when he gets back tonight. There shouldn’t be any major problems. Although there are other doctors, I’m familiar with you. I’d like you to be with me to welcome the baby. That would make me feel more at ease. I just don’t know if you can help me.”
"Of course it's possible. Even if it doesn't work out, I'll make time for it, given our relationship. Speaking of which, I feel a connection with this child. So it's settled then. You can discuss it with him first, and if he agrees, we'll do as you wish. Now you don't have to hide anymore, right? Next week, find some time to come to the hospital. I'll get you an ultrasound and register your medical records. You need to prepare all of that too."
"Ok!"
They continued their conversation, and the old doctor gave Gu Zhiyao a lot of instructions, and also told Aunt Li some related matters before leaving.
He Yi had a social engagement that night and didn't return until around 11 p.m.
Seeing that Gu Zhiyao was still awake, he subconsciously frowned.
