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

Chapter 324 Reluctant to give in to each other

"Zhiyao, Zhiyao, what's wrong?" After some time, a voice called out.

Gu Zhiyao turned around and looked at Xiao Lin's familiar, handsome face, which was full of concern. She couldn't help but burst into tears. "Brother Xiao Lin, he's here! He actually chased me all the way here! I knew he wouldn't give up. How could I have thought I could get rid of him! He's a devil!"

Xiao Lin was taken aback upon hearing this. "You mean, He Yi came to Canada?"

"Yes, he also said he wanted to see Chenchen and Niuniu, but I won't let him see them!"

That's true, but He Yi is, after all, Chenchen and Niu Niu's biological father. Even if Gu Zhiyao is awarded custody, He Yi still has the right to see the children.

Gu Zhiyao lost control and collapsed precisely because she thought of this.

Xiao Lin hugged her and said, "It doesn't matter if he sees us. I'll send someone to follow him. Even if he tries anything funny, we won't let him succeed. This is Canada, so don't worry, don't be afraid, okay?"

Gu Zhiyao gradually calmed down, stared at Xiao Lin, and suddenly threw herself into his arms. "Brother Xiao Lin, he is truly the most hateful person in the world. How could I have fallen in love with such a devil? I really wish time could turn back. I would never have let things develop to this point, and I would never have liked him!"

"Yes, it's all in the past. You know what happened, so just treat it as a normal divorce. You see, many divorced couples still have children, but they're all doing well. So, don't worry too much about it, just treat it as normal."

“I know, but I still can’t help it. Niu Niu is very biased towards him, as you’ve seen in many situations. As for Chen Chen, he grew up with them and is naturally biased towards them, so I feel very uncomfortable. He’s the child I risked my life to give birth to, but he seems to be closer to me. If Niu Niu knew he was her biological father, she might run away with him!”

"Hehe, you're exaggerating. It's undeniable that Niu Niu is somewhat special to him, but I think it's driven by blood ties. If it really came down to a choice between the two, Niu Niu would definitely choose you. As for Chen Chen, he's slowly getting used to it, and after a while he'll become even more dependent on you. Just like you said, they are the precious babies you risked your life to give birth to, and they know how important you are!"

In short, don't overthink it, and definitely don't take your anger out on the children. They're still young, and sometimes their behavior or attitude might make you uncomfortable. Don't worry about it, lest you scare them. If something happens to them, you'll feel even worse, won't you?

With Xiao Lin's comforting words, Gu Zhiyao calmed down completely. Later, Xiao Lin stayed by her side until she fell asleep.

Seeing the obvious tear stains on her pale face, Xiao Lin's eyes darkened inch by inch, and he began to ponder and make plans in his mind.

Two days later, Chenchen, Niuniu, and He Yi met. Gu Zhiyao did not bring her own children but entrusted Yi Fei to go instead.

Yifei didn't know that Niu Niu was also He Yi's biological daughter, so he didn't think much of it. However, after some recent events, his feelings towards He Yi were no longer the same as before. Nevertheless, he still showed He Yi the respect due to etiquette.

He Yi casually chatted with him, "How have you been lately? If you have any difficulties with your studies, remember Li Xin, he will help you."

"Yes, I remember, but it's alright for now. Thank you, Uncle."

He Yi naturally noticed Yi Fei's aloofness. After a moment's hesitation, he continued, "I heard that you haven't called your mother since you came to Canada?"

"Hearing my voice will only add to her annoyance or even make her angry, so why should I affect her mood?" Yi Fei said calmly, then turned the topic to He Yi, "Uncle, have you and Aunt considered trying IVF again? I heard that it's quite advanced in this area now, and I think you could try a few more times. I also talked to a friend about it before, and he has a cousin who is an expert in this field. If you need, I can introduce you to her?"

He Yi's brows furrowed slightly as he stared intently at Yi Fei's indifferent yet hurried expression. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Yi Fei, do you completely disregard my uncle? Whatever happens between Gu Zhiyao and me, you shouldn't get involved. Remember, you're no one to her!"

Yi Fei's expression changed drastically. Looking at He Yi's ever-confident and domineering face, he used to think he was cool and handsome and admire him. But now, he smiled bitterly, "Uncle, Zhi Yao is no one to me. She is my closest friend and the person I will always protect in this life. I will not let anyone bully her!"

“No one will bully her!” He Yi pondered for a moment and said, “Yifei, I know you have some misunderstandings about me, but I just want to tell you that Gu Zhiyao is Chenchen and Niuniu’s mother. No matter what you have in your heart, you should have let it go long ago. There are plenty of good girls out there, and those are the ones you should be pursuing!”

“Uncle, it’s my own business who I want to be with. I’m an adult now, and even my mother has no right to restrict me, let alone you. I would like to say something to you, Uncle: since you can’t give Gu Zhiyao any explanation, then don’t provoke her. After all, you have your aunt. Any slightly intimate behavior from you will cause your aunt to misunderstand, and then she will hurt Zhiyao. Hasn’t this happened many times before? You would say that Zhiyao is Chenchen and Niuniu’s biological mother, and just because she gave birth to one of your children, give her a way out? Uncle.”

He Yi frowned even more deeply, his handsome face becoming incredibly somber as he coldly stared at Yi Fei.

Yifei showed no sign of backing down or fear, and his face remained serious and resolute. After a while, he continued, "Uncle, do you know why I hid my feelings for her? It's because I saw that Niu Niu's father was really good to her. He is the one who truly loves her and can give her happiness. Now that Chenchen is back by her side, she smiles much more than before. She is genuinely happy. I hope she can stay this happy forever."

Looking at Yifei's composed yet subtly melancholic appearance, He Yi recalled what Yifei had just said, and his mood grew heavier and heavier.

For about fifteen minutes afterward, neither the uncle nor the nephew spoke.

Then, Chenchen and Niuniu returned from the amusement park. Yifei quickly adjusted his mood, took out a towel to wipe Chenchen and Niuniu's sweat, and his movements were careful and natural, just like a father taking care of his two children.

He Yi watched all of this silently, feeling very uncomfortable.

Wiping away her sweat, Niu Niu walked up to He Yi and said, "Uncle He Yi, how many days will you be staying in Canada this time? My birthday is on the 10th of next month, and I hope you can come to my birthday party."

The birthday Niu Niu mentioned was actually a made-up date. Her real birthday was naturally the same as Chen Chen's. Every year on that day, Gu Zhiyao would secretly boil a few eggs as a way of celebrating her son and daughter's birthdays and wishing them health and peace.

He Yi also knew Niu Niu's real birthday.
