After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Ye Yingying was still immersed in the joy of having a child.

She was startled by Gu Tianyou's question.

The smile on his face gradually faded.

Instead, there is fear, terror, sadness, and grief.

“Brother Tianyou, don’t worry, I won’t make you take responsibility. Although Grandpa Gu said we should get married at the end of the year, he’s no longer in this world. You have the right to pursue your own happiness.”

He had assumed that Ye Yingying's visit to tell him she was pregnant meant she wanted to marry him.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't.

Instead, it's about fulfilling one's own desires.

Gu Tianyou was surprised by Ye Yingying's change.

This woman seems to have changed.

Has he really reformed?

"Are you really willing to grant me happiness?" Gu Tianyou asked tentatively.

Ye Yingying's eyes instantly reddened, and she nodded heavily.

"As long as Brother Tianyou is happy, I will be happy."

"Really? Even if I marry Shen Yao in the future?" Gu Tianyou probed further.

Ye Yingying's smile froze for a moment.

However, this is almost a thousandth of a second.

A gentle smile spread across her face again.

"Really, if you and Yao Yao can get back together, then I sincerely wish you both the best."

Gu Tianyou sat up straight little by little, his brows furrowed as he scrutinized Ye Yingying.

Having known this woman for so many years, in my memory she has always been a gentle, considerate, and soft person.

If Bo Yuxiu hadn't exposed Ye Yingying's other side, Gu Tianyou wouldn't have believed that Ye Yingying was a two-faced and scheming woman.

Now, this woman is pregnant with his child and doesn't even ask him to take responsibility.

It seems to fit her gentle and sensible personality from before.

"Get rid of the child, and I'll give you 1000 million."

Gu Tianyou looked into Ye Yingying's eyes and spoke in a consultative tone.

"Get rid of it?" Ye Yingying couldn't believe her ears.

She had considered that this man might not want to marry her, and she had considered that he might not love her, but she never imagined that this man would even abort his own child.

Ye Yingying's hands, resting on her knees, trembled slightly.

This man was more cruel and ruthless than she had imagined.

"Isn't the money enough?"

Gu Tianyou's tone was much gentler than before.

However, to Ye Yingying, it sounded even more biting and piercing than snow in June.

"No...it's just aborting a child, it doesn't cost that much money."

Ye Yingying forced a smile at Gu Tianyou.

"Consider this money my compensation to you."

Gu Tianyou spoke very sincerely.

Ye Yingying sneered inwardly, "You're worth hundreds of billions, and you only give me ten million. That's like giving money to a beggar."

She thought this to herself, but Ye Yingying remained expressionless.

"Brother Tianyou, can I give birth to this child and raise it myself?"

Ye Yingying pleaded with Gu Tianyou.

She had to save this child.

This will also be a bargaining chip for manipulating this man in the future.

What's the point of having a child who isn't loved by their father?

Gu Tianyou's once tender gaze turned cold.

"Brother Tianyou, he's still your child, don't you like him?"

Ye Yingying's voice had become choked with sobs.

Gu Tianyou closed his eyes slightly, his handsome face appearing even more cold under the cold white light.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said, word by word, "Why did you suddenly come to my room that day?"

When the topic returned to that day, a look of panic flashed in Ye Yingying's eyes.

“That day, you had a high fever. You can ask Aunt Wang if you don’t believe me.”

"Ask Wang Ma?" Gu Tianyou stopped wiping his mouth.

He tossed the napkin onto the table, leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, placed his hands on his knees, and stared intently at Ye Yingying with his dark, inky eyes.

"Wang Ma, come here for a moment."

Gu Tianyou stared at Ye Yingying's face and shouted out these words.

Wang Ma, who was preparing desserts and fruits in the kitchen, responded quickly when she heard Gu Tianyou call her.

"Young Master, you've arrived."

She quickly washed her hands, wiped them with a napkin, and went straight to the restaurant.

As soon as I entered the restaurant, I sensed that something was wrong.

Gu Tianyou reclined arrogantly in his chair, his expression indifferent.

Ye Yingying stared intently at Gu Tianyou.

The bright kitchen environment further highlighted the stark contrast between the two people's states.

Wearing an apron, Wang Ma cautiously approached Gu Tianyou.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Gu Tianyou sat up straight and rested his elbows on the table.

A pair of dark, indifferent eyes finally moved away from Ye Yingying and landed on Wang Ma.

"That day, when I had a high fever, did you ask Miss Ye to come upstairs to take care of me?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ma realized it was about what happened that day.

Actually, on that day, Wang Ma saw Ye Yingying go up to the second floor.

She initially thought it was the young master who was about to do that kind of thing.

As a servant, she naturally wouldn't interfere in her employer's private life.

So she simply watered the plants and weeded outside the yard.

It wasn't until she was cooking dinner in the evening, when she heard a commotion coming from the second floor, that she realized something was wrong.

Now that Gu Tianyou is asking her about what happened that day in front of her, she thinks about it and decides to tell the truth.

“I didn’t know you had a fever that day. It was my duty.”

As Wang Ma spoke, she apologized to Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou looked at Wang Ma with gratitude in his eyes.

But more than anything, it's about appreciation.

Surprisingly, Wang Ma, who seems so ordinary, has such high emotional intelligence.

Since Wang Ma didn't know that Gu Tianyou was sick with a fever.

Ye Yingying, however, appeared in Gu Tianyou's master bedroom on the second floor.

Then there are only two possibilities.

First, it was Gu Tianyou who asked Ye Yingying to go up and take care of him.

Secondly, Ye Yingying entered Gu Tianyou's master bedroom without permission.

The first possibility was quickly ruled out.

Because Wang Ma could see the confusion and anger in Gu Tianyou's expression.

Clearly, Ye Yingying sneaked into Gu Tianyou's room while Wang Ma was busy.

Thinking of this, Wang Ma's expression towards Ye Yingying became somewhat unnatural.

Because when Ye Yingying arrived at the Gu family villa in the evening, she kept touching her belly.

This is simply unbelievable.

With Wang Ma's sixth sense, the word "pregnant" immediately came to her mind.

Yes, it's pregnancy.

Only when a woman is pregnant will she caress her belly like this.

Ye Yingying's presence here indicates that this child is related to Gu Tianyou.

While Wang Ma was still sighing that Ye Yingying would be the future mistress of the house, Gu Tianyou summoned her to the restaurant.

Judging from the expression on Gu Tianyou's face, it was clearly not the kind of joy one would expect to feel when about to become a father.

No, it wasn't even happiness; it was disgust and anger.
