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

Chapter 21 Resignation and Departure Abroad

The old doctor was relieved, saying, "Although there were signs of miscarriage, you have a good constitution. Just be careful and you should be fine."

"Really? Thank you, doctor!"

"You're welcome. Remember my words: protect yourself and protect your child! A mother's love is unbreakable. The bravest and greatest person in the world is a mother. You must make your child proud of you in the future!"

"it is good!"

The experienced doctor took many precautions for Gu Zhiyao, and told her that she didn't need to be hospitalized for the time being. He advised her to go home and rest well, avoid overexertion, and repeatedly told her to stop having sex.

Gu Zhiyao wrote down everything and repeatedly expressed her gratitude before bidding farewell to the doctor.

She was overjoyed; she was finally pregnant and carrying his child.

Brother He Yi, do you know you're going to be a father?

Unfortunately, he will never know, and he never will!

Gu Zhiyao's joyful mood quickly turned somber upon hearing this.

However, remembering the doctor's advice, she tried her best to adjust her mood and then called Lin Yu to share the good news.

Lin Yu was overjoyed to learn that she was pregnant and exclaimed subconsciously, "Wow, that bastard He Yi is quite fertile! He got you pregnant so quickly. Yao, congratulations! Where are you now? Are you going back to work or going home? Let's meet up. I don't have anything urgent to do right now."

“Okay, come over here. I’m going back from the hospital now. The doctor said that although the fetus is fine, I did have some bleeding, so I should rest more for safety reasons,” Gu Zhiyao said.

"Okay, I'm coming now. Be careful on your way."

"You too."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhiyao had already left the hospital. There happened to be a taxi outside, so she got in, leaned back in her seat, and closed her eyes to rest.

Many things flashed through my mind—some happy, some sad, some excited, and some worried.

She tried her best to regulate her thoughts and avoid extreme joy or sorrow.

Not long after I got home, Lin Yu arrived.

This was Lin Yu's first time setting foot here. After roughly observing the entire house, she clicked her tongue in amazement and exclaimed, "It's so good to be rich! This is an absolutely stunning ocean view. This place must cost at least several thousand dollars, right? One of their houses is more than we could earn in a lifetime!"

"About fifty million." Gu Zhiyao said indifferently, showing little interest.

Lin Yu then sat down with her in the living room and started talking about serious matters. "You're pregnant now. What are your plans for the future? You definitely can't let He Yi know, right? But your agreement states that you have sex once a week. People say that the first three months of pregnancy are very important and you can't do that kind of thing."

"I can get away with this. He didn't want to touch me in the first place. If I take the initiative to suggest not doing it, he'll be more than happy to do it," Gu Zhiyao said bitterly.

"But won't he suspect something? After all, these are your conditions. If you suddenly say you're canceling, he's such a shrewd person, I'm afraid he'll find out something," Lin Yu reminded him.

Gu Zhiyao paused, remembering that He Yi always used derogatory or even more offensive words to describe her, assuming that she must be such a shameless woman. If she suddenly canceled, he would indeed become suspicious.

"Why don't you dissolve your marriage with him beforehand?" Lin Yu suggested.

End of relationship...

Yes, ever since she moved here, the only time she and he have met is when they do *that* kind of thing every week. If she were to cancel it, he probably wouldn't come here again, and then there would be no point in her staying in this marriage.

But the thought of ending her marriage with him and becoming completely estranged from him filled Gu Zhiyao with overwhelming pain.

She put in a lot of effort, even risking her health to donate bone marrow to Zheng Yuanxi, in order to get this marriage. Although she hadn't thought about getting pregnant at the time, and only hoped to be with him for as long as possible, she was still very reluctant to let it end.

But if she wants to secretly give birth to this child, she must leave him as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

"Let me think about it some more," Gu Zhiyao said sadly, holding her head in her hands.

Lin Yu then hugged her tightly, comforting her, "Okay, no rush, think it over slowly. Anyway, you've been through this a couple of times, so you can still manage. Just use your period as an excuse, or say you're not feeling well. You should also be prepared to resign from the company, right? You've worked so hard and achieved so much, it's not worth giving up like this..."

Seeing Lin Yu's regretful expression, Gu Zhiyao remained calm. Originally, she went in for He Yi, to be with him, but after everything that had happened recently, especially with Zheng Yuanxi barging in now, nothing was more important than the baby in her belly!

"You can find another job if you lose one. With your abilities, it's not a problem at all. You've achieved so much in the He Group in just two years, so you can certainly make a name for yourself elsewhere. So, which city are you planning to go to next? For safety's sake, you can't stay in Yuncheng anymore. Where should we go? How about I come with you?"

Gu Zhiyao looked at her friend with emotion, then shook her head and slowly said a few words, "I plan to go abroad."

"Going abroad?"

“My advisor had suggested that I study abroad many times before. I ran into him recently, and he was still very regretful. He said that as long as I wanted, he could still help me get a recommendation.”

“Going abroad is indeed a good thing. With such a long distance, even if He Yi is very capable, he wouldn't be able to detect it. But I…”

“Ayu, I know what you mean, and I’m grateful, but you don’t need to come out with me. Your career is here, and the future is bright. Just keep working hard!” Gu Zhiyao glanced around at the magnificent surroundings and continued, “You said this house is something we could never earn in a lifetime, but I believe it’s not just a dream for you. Maybe one day you’ll be able to afford a house that’s even more luxurious and expensive than this!”

"You really know how to motivate people!" Lin Yu said with a wry smile.

"I'm serious! Anyway, with advanced communication technology these days, we can keep in touch. You can fly over to see me when you have time. Of course, it would be best if you could schedule it around the time I give birth. I'm all alone, Ayu, I'm scared!" Gu Zhiyao's eyes reddened.

Lin Yu hugged her tightly again, "Don't be afraid, I will definitely come. I will try to come whenever I have time, and I will definitely be there when you give birth. If I break my promise, I will punish you by making you never speak to me again. However, I want to be the baby's godmother!"

"Yes, she has to be my godmother!"

Everyone was very happy and couldn't wait to see the baby arrive.

Gu Zhiyao continued to rest at home in the afternoon, and returned to the company the next day.

Zhong Jia Hui immediately asked her how she was feeling, and other colleagues also expressed their concern. Gu Zhi Yao told everyone that she was fine, but when she saw An Qian later, she directly told her about resigning.

Anxi froze, thinking she had misheard. "What did you just say?"

“I’m planning to resign. I might leave after this month. I’ve finished all the big cases I had on hand, and I’ll take care of the smaller ones before I leave. Do you think we need to hire someone new, or should we select someone from our existing staff to take over my work?” Gu Zhiyao said earnestly.

"I'm not saying this to be mean, Gu Zhiyao, do you even know what you're saying? You had a fever and a cold a couple of days ago, weren't you exhausted? Don't you need to rest? I've approved of you for as many days as you want, but you don't need to resign..." Anxi finally understood and spoke up angrily.

"No, Sister An, it has nothing to do with this," Gu Zhiyao stammered.

"What does that have to do with? You're pregnant? Getting married? Even if you're married and pregnant, there's no rush. We have maternity leave, there's no need to resign." Anxi was really anxious. You could say that in the legal department, she had thought about anyone who would resign, but she never thought about Gu Zhiyao.
