It must be said that Lin Houze's words made a lot of sense, were reasonable, and were very tempting.

Gu Zhiyao is intelligent and hardworking, and has always grown up in adversity. She has her own ideals and ambitions, but because she is infatuated with He Yi, everything she does is for He Yi's sake.

Now that she has decided to move on from that painful relationship, this opportunity is truly invaluable for her.

As for Lin Houze...

Looking at the man's face, which was as sincere and gentle as ever, she knew that although they had only known each other for a month, it was enough for her to understand him, what kind of person he was, how much he cared about her, and how much he thought of her.

She was truly grateful to him!

This is the person closest to her besides He Yi.

He was someone she cared about, even though she only considered him a good friend.

"Zhiyao..." Lin Houze continued to call out with pleading.

Gu Zhiyao took a deep breath and nodded in agreement, "Okay, Houze, let's give it a try!"

Lin Houze was overjoyed and almost jumped up, but he managed to hold back and just spun around!

Then he gave Gu Zhiyao an awkward smile.

Gu Zhiyao smiled and remembered his cute side.

Everyone reached an agreement that Gu Zhiyao would officially join the law firm as a full-fledged lawyer, as well as a partner and shareholder of the firm!

Lin Houze immediately issued an internal notice and said he would treat everyone to lunch to celebrate Gu Zhiyao becoming a shareholder of the company.

Everyone was naturally happy. Ever since Gu Zhiyao brought Wen Shiren to justice, many companies have come to her for help. She's been overwhelmed with cases lately, and the company's business has soared. Making big money means that everyone's year-end bonuses will also increase. Who wouldn't be happy!

It's quite natural that he would like Gu Zhiyao, this "god of wealth".

Today we went to a restaurant with a wide variety of dishes. Someone ordered braised fish, which Gu Zhiyao usually likes, so she took a bite.

But as soon as she smelled the fishy smell, her stomach churned.

Sitting next to Gu Zhiyao was the assistant who had been trying to matchmake Lin Houze and Gu Zhiyao. Upon seeing her, the assistant couldn't help but ask with concern, "Attorney Gu, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Gu Zhiyao suppressed her nausea and smiled at her.

The assistant then joked, "I almost thought Attorney Gu was pregnant! But considering that our CEO Lin is a gentleman and has enough respect for Attorney Gu, he'll definitely save his first time for his wedding night."

Everyone immediately cheered and made a fuss.

Lin Houze scolded his assistant reproachfully, "You're so good with words."

The assistant knew his personality well and wasn't too flustered.

At this moment, Gu Zhiyao also spoke up to explain, "I haven't been feeling well lately. I went to see a doctor yesterday and was diagnosed with mild gastroenteritis."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Attorney Gu, it was my oversight. I should have known better than to order this braised fish." A colleague immediately apologized.

Gu Zhiyao shook her head at her, "It's okay. I used to like braised fish too. I'll eat it again when I'm better. I'll treat everyone then."

"Okay! Attorney Gu, have a bowl of soup first. This soup is very sweet and refreshing, it should help suppress your nausea."

Gu Zhiyao found it did indeed whet her appetite, thanked her colleague, and began to drink the soup.

The atmosphere returned to normal, and everyone chatted happily again. One bold person even asked Lin Houze if the company would give double bonuses at the end of the year since they had received so many cases.

Lin Houze glanced at Gu Zhiyao and said meaningfully, "You'll have to ask your shareholder Gu about that; she'll decide!"

Everyone turned to look at Gu Zhiyao, and seeing their warm and friendly attitude, Gu Zhiyao replied in a good mood, "Yes, it's my pleasure!"

"Wow!" Everyone cheered and shouted "Long live Attorney Gu!"

The meal was finished happily.

As her colleagues returned to the company one after another, Gu Zhiyao told everyone that she was going to buy some things. Lin Houze asked if she wanted to go with her, but Gu Zhiyao declined, saying, "I'll go buy that."

Although Lin Houze was a boy, he understood immediately, his handsome face slightly flushed, "Then be careful."

"OK Bye Bye."

After parting ways with Lin Houze, Gu Zhiyao started walking alone, but then suddenly stopped.

She wasn't actually going to buy sanitary pads, because her period hadn't started yet, and it was already a few days late!

Delayed periods are not a big deal, as they are sometimes related to diet and lifestyle. However, the fishy smell that made Gu Zhiyao feel nauseous reminded her of the time when He Yi mistook her for Zheng Yuanxi and had sex with her!

Is she really pregnant?

Is she pregnant again?

Gu Zhiyao's emotions were churning, a mix of feelings she couldn't quite put her finger on.

I remember the last time she was pregnant, she was looking forward to it, longing for it, and naturally excited.

But this time, I felt a tightness and heaviness in my chest!

Anyway, I need to buy a test strip to confirm.

Having learned from her previous experience, Gu Zhiyao quickly bought a test strip, but she didn't expect to run into He Yi as soon as she stepped out of the pharmacy!

Gu Zhiyao subconsciously made a move: she put the bag containing the pregnancy test strips behind her back.

He Yi noticed it too, his eyes flickered, and he asked, "What's that?"

Gu Zhiyao didn't answer, gave him a faint glance, and walked past him.

He Yi then reached out and snatched the bag.

Gu Zhiyao's expression changed drastically. "What are you trying to do? You're not allowed to touch my things! Give them back!"

After saying that, she immediately tried to grab it, but of course she couldn't. He Yi opened the bag, took out the contents, and his handsome face was completely stunned.

Gu Zhiyao took action again to snatch the items back and quickly left.

"Wait a minute!" He Yi grabbed her arm. "You're pregnant?"

Gu Zhiyao immediately froze, then paused, her arm twitching. "No, I'm not pregnant."

"Then why did you buy this?" He Yi's voice was extremely deep.

"What I do with it is none of your business. I can't buy it because I like it. It's not like it's contraband. Mr. He, you're being too nosy."

"Gu Zhiyao!" He Yi called out her name through gritted teeth, his eyes slightly angry. "Answer my question!"

Gu Zhiyao stubbornly looked back at him and said, "Yes, my period is late, so I came to buy a test to check. But even if I am pregnant, what does it have to do with you? Don't worry, the child isn't yours!"

"If it's not mine, then whose is it?"

"Whose is it? I don't need to tell you. Do you think I can only do that kind of thing with you? What era are we living in? Men don't only have one woman, and women are the same. Who says you can only be with one man? As long as you have feelings for each other, you can give it a try... Ah..." Gu Zhiyao screamed.

It turned out that He Yi had directly grabbed her by the neck.

Gu Zhiyao quickly grabbed his hand and struggled violently, angrily saying, "He Yi, you bastard, what else can you do besides treat me like this? You're a devil! What kind of man treats a woman like this!"
