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

Quan Xinyu secretly observed Gu Zhiyao's expression and saw that she was uncomfortable. He continued, "Your relationship with the president will always bring some trouble. Anyway, you and the president will no longer be related after the agreement expires, so why create so much trouble? Miss Zheng is very grateful to you now. You can use this relationship to plan your future. It can be considered as a way of repaying you."

"Do you think so? Do you think Miss Zheng will stay in the dark about my relationship with him forever? No, she will definitely find out that I was married to He Yi, and she'll find out very soon!" Gu Zhiyao mocked.

Quan Xinyu was taken aback for a moment, then calmly said, "You don't need to worry about this. The president will handle it. Just listen to the president and don't have too much contact with Ms. Zheng anymore."

“What if I don’t agree? You just said that Miss Zheng is very grateful to me. I can use this relationship to seek benefits for my future!” Gu Zhiyao said meaningfully.

"Gu Zhiyao!" Quan Xinyu couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed. "That's not what I meant at all! You know that! You're so smart, with a bright future ahead of you, why do you have to have these unrealistic dreams like other girls? You know how the president feels about you..."

Even though the president is usually cold and aloof, he would never hurt someone for no reason. Even if there are some competitors in the business world, he has never thought of hating them. But he hates you and despises you. Do you know how serious the consequences are for being hated and despised by him?

How much do you really know about him? You have no idea how terrifying he can be when he really gets ruthless. Why bother? Wouldn't it be better to just focus on your work and life? Besides, you're a good catch. You could find someone similar to you, marry them, and live a peaceful life. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

You don't understand him at all. You have no idea how terrifying he can be when he really gets ruthless, or what completely unexpected things he might do to you!

Quan Xinyu's words struck Gu Zhiyao's heart like a boulder, and even after she had left Quan Xinyu's office, they continued to echo in her mind.

As expected, Jung Won-hee wanted to invite her to tonight's celebration, but she politely declined.

After get off work, I wandered around the streets and didn't get home until 10 p.m.

Feeling inexplicably tired and cold, Gu Zhiyao nestled on the sofa, arms crossed, looking around at the luxurious and grand environment that exuded prestige. She felt as if she were watching her life slip away bit by bit.

Then another scene flashed through her mind: Zheng Yuanxi was holding a celebration party, and Zheng Yuanxi and He Yi were smiling as they accepted everyone's blessings. He Yi looked at Zheng Yuanxi with deep affection throughout the party, protecting her.

Ah!

Gu Zhiyao screamed uncontrollably, picked up her phone, found He Yi's number, and dialed it.

As usual, no one answered the phone, so she sent a WeChat message instead: "Tonight is the agreed-upon date for our intimate moments. I hope you haven't forgotten!"

WeChat also disappeared without a trace.

Gu Zhiyao felt that he was deliberately ignoring her. She recalled his various terrible behaviors towards her, his contempt and abuse, and compared them with his affection for Zheng Yuanxi. She remembered how he cherished and doted on Zheng Yuanxi. Her will, which she had been holding on to, finally collapsed, and she continued to send him WeChat messages.

"If you don't show up by midnight, I'll immediately go find the woman you love! I mean what I say!"

After sending the message, Gu Zhiyao felt as if she had exhausted all her strength. She returned to her bedroom and threw herself onto the big bed.

She thought about all sorts of things, and the more she thought, the more tired she became. Then she fell into a deep sleep, but in her drowsy state, she was awakened by a familiar pain.

She opened her sleepy eyes and saw He Yi's magnified handsome face, which was as deep, sinister, and cruel as ever.

Is it a dream?

Gu Zhiyao looked around blankly, but the violent impact on her body and the all-too-familiar tearing pain clearly told her that this was not a dream, but that he had really come back!

He saw her message and was afraid she would go to Zheng Yuanxi and reveal everything, so he had no choice but to rush over. Then, he used this method that almost killed her to vent his anger and disgust.

Yes, Gu Zhiyao might not have understood these things at first, but gradually she could see that he was deliberately using this method to retaliate against her!

What He Yi said next plunged her into an abyss.

"Gu Zhiyao, you like being slept with by men so much, don't you? I'll make you remember this, make it your nightmare for the rest of your life, and see if you dare to be so wanton again!"

Tears immediately welled up in Gu Zhiyao's eyes.

My heart feels like it's being torn apart by a thousand knives; the pain is so intense I can't breathe.

Brother He Yi, why are you doing this to me? I love you, I love you so much!

You've forgotten what you once told me.

Have you forgotten what you promised me?

You forgot...

You forgot...

Through blurry, tearful eyes, she looked sadly at the man on top of her. He was as cold and cruel as Satan, his gloomy and terrifying presence sending shivers down her spine. Gradually, a gentle and handsome face flashed into Gu Zhiyao's mind. It was him when he was young. He was like a ray of light illuminating the cold, dark room. Although he wasn't very strong yet, his powerful arms held her tightly, and he made a beautiful promise that was almost like a vow.

Gu Zhiyao trembled all over, tears streaming down her face, yet she could not hide the deep affection and love in her eyes...

Finally, he fainted again from the unbearable torment.

I woke up at 3 p.m. the next day.

My phone was practically bombarded with calls.

There were messages from Anxi, Zhong Jiahui, and a secretary from the Ministry of Justice; their WeChat messages were also filled with various voice and video calls and messages.

"Gu Zhiyao, what are you up to? You didn't even tell me you were taking leave!"

"You've never been such a tactless person before! What happened?!"

"Gu Zhiyao, answer the phone! Answer the voice message! If you keep disappearing like this, I'm going to report you to the police station!"

"Gu Zhiyao, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

"Zhiyao, what happened? You haven't been in a good mood lately. Is there something wrong? Can you tell me?"

"No matter what, answer the phone first. By the way, nothing is more important than life. No matter how a person comes into this world, no matter how bitter their life was originally, whether or not someone loves or cares for them, as long as they care about themselves, that's enough. Living is all hope! These are the words you said to me!"

"Don't scare me, don't let anything happen, Sister Zhiyao, I can't live without you..."

Looking at these messages filled with concern and worry, Gu Zhiyao seemed to see An Qian and Zhong Jia Hui's anxious and frightened faces, especially Zhong Jia Hui. That silly girl must have been crying in a panic.

Abandoned by her parents at a young age, she thought she was all alone in the world until she met Brother Xiao Lin and Aunt Zhang. But they all left her one by one, and she became lonely again. After entering university, she met Lin Yu, and they became like sisters. An Qian and Zhong Jia Hui also gave her a lot of warmth.

Gu Zhiyao quickly wiped away her blurry tears and replied to Zhong Jiahui on WeChat: I'm fine, I'll tell you later.

Then I dialed Ansie's number.
