He Yi's thin lips couldn't help but curl up slightly. Seeing her regain her mischievous and energetic appearance, his heart warmed. Then he touched her face with his large hand and said, "Call me if you need anything."

"Okay, you should go back to the company now." Zheng Yuanxi watched him get into the car, waved to him, and after the car drove away, she was about to turn around and walk into the coffee shop when she bumped into someone!

"Heh, you two are so reluctant to part, it's making everyone around us so envious!" Wen Ya, the daughter of the chairman of the Wen Group, another famous wealthy family in Yuncheng, and Zheng Yuanxi have been good friends since kindergarten.

Looking at her charming and beautiful best friend, Zheng Yuanxi said somewhat awkwardly, "Aya, why did you come out? You saw everything just now?"

Wen Ya nodded with a smile, "Yes, I saw the whole thing. I almost recorded a video and posted it online so that girls who don't want to be in a relationship could see how wonderful it would be to find someone they love!"

"Nonsense!" Zheng Yuanxi gave her a coquettish glance, and the group entered the coffee shop together.

"I hope your overseas performance went well. I'm sorry I can't attend your debut performance."

"It's nothing, you were just sick, aren't you? Are you really all better?"

"I should be able to survive." Zheng Yuanxi gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"I heard it was He Yi who found the bone marrow. He's really good to you," Wen Ya said meaningfully.

Zheng Yuanxi didn't notice anything amiss with Wen Ya and continued, "Yes. The person who donated bone marrow to me happened to be the legal counsel for his company, a very young and beautiful girl."

"A very young and beautiful girl?"

"Yes, her name is Gu Zhiyao. She's probably a few years younger than us. I heard she's quite capable. She was promoted to senior legal counsel in just two years. That's the He Group."

"From what you're saying, you quite admire her?"

"I feel not only admiration, but also gratitude. She gave me a second life, giving me the opportunity to live and grow old with He Yi." Zheng Yuanxi said with emotion, radiating happiness and looking absolutely beautiful.

Wen Ya looked at her quietly, a strange emotion churning in her eyes, but she tried her best to control it. Just then, she noticed that Zheng Yuanxi looked a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

It turned out that when Zheng Yuanxi thought of Gu Zhiyao, she recalled the scene of He Yi hugging Gu Zhiyao at the cemetery earlier. It was a very ordinary scene, but it seemed to have taken root in her heart, lingering and deeply affecting her emotions.

"No, how could he possibly have any other feelings for her? I'm just overthinking it," Zheng Yuanxi murmured unconsciously.

Wenya couldn't hear her clearly. "Yuanyuan, what's wrong? What are you muttering? You're better now, are you and He Yi planning to get married?"

"Marriage?" Zheng Yuanxi was taken aback again.

"Weren't you two planning to get married a long time ago? If you hadn't suddenly fallen ill, you would already be Mrs. He, and probably even have a child by now!"

“We originally agreed to get married after I was discharged from the hospital, but He Yi suddenly said to wait a little longer,” Zheng Yuanxi said hesitantly.

"Wait a little longer? Why? Wasn't he itching to make you take his surname right away? I remember he went to great lengths to get you to accept his proposal. Yuanyuan, is something wrong between you two?"

"Ah? No."

"Then...you looked strange just now, tell me what happened? Yuanyuan, we are the closest of friends, there are no secrets between us." Wenya grabbed Zheng Yuanxi's hand.

Yes, they were the closest of friends, like sisters. She shared everything with Wenya, including every little thing about He Yi.

As Wen Ya continued to press her for answers, Zheng Yuanxi finally voiced her thoughts, but then dismissed them, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. I remember seeing Gu Zhiyao at the hospital that day, and his attitude was terrible. He seemed to really dislike Gu Zhiyao. Every time I brought up Gu Zhiyao, he seemed reluctant to talk about her. So how could he possibly have a special relationship with Gu Zhiyao? But precisely because..."

“It’s because of his previous attitude that you’re suspicious, right? I’ve known him for so long, and he’s never paid attention to other women. Even with me, it was only because of you. But you said Gu Zhiyao saved you, could it be that he helped you because of that? But his attitude at the hospital before…” Wen Ya echoed, a strange light flashing in her eyes, “Why don’t you investigate their relationship?”

"Investigate him and Gu Zhiyao? Is that necessary? No, Wenya, I can't investigate him. I trust him."

“I know you trust him, and he is indeed very good to you, but don’t you have doubts in your heart? You also said that he postponed the wedding. It’s impossible to postpone a wedding without a reason. Even if it was delayed by company matters or other problems, he can solve them with his abilities.”

“Perhaps it’s because of his grandmother,” Zheng Yuanxi said quietly.

The matriarch of the He family never really liked Zheng Yuanxi.

Although she didn't dislike him, his attitude was lukewarm, and Zheng Yuanxi didn't know why.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that. I was overthinking it. He wouldn't do anything to betray me behind my back. My body has just recovered and I still need time to slowly recover. It's really not good to overwork myself. Anyway, it's only two more months. I've waited for so many years. The fact that I can still live well and grow old with him is already the greatest blessing."

Seeing her calm and content expression, radiating happiness and looking utterly beautiful, Wenya smiled slightly and remained silent, but in her heart, she began to calculate some things.

Zheng Yuanxi, if you don't want to investigate, I'll investigate for you!

You and He Yi have such a good relationship, and you've never had any other thoughts over the years. This sudden suspicion means there really is something going on. I'll show you that all men are the same. He Yi is nothing more than this to you. So what if you're Zheng Yuanxi? You're still the same as other women!

After leaving the cemetery, Gu Zhiyao made a detour to a maternity and baby store.

She heard that it's good to take folic acid during early pregnancy, so she bought some, along with prenatal milk powder. She kept buying things as the sales assistant recommended, but when she saw the total amount on the bill, she was stunned.

But she didn't cancel; she still paid and returned to her residence carrying her bags.

Soon, Monday arrived.

Gu Zhiyao was organizing the documents at hand and handing them over. There was a meeting that she was supposed to attend, but she suggested to Anxi that Zhong Jiahui attend instead.

"Should we send Jia Hui?"

“Since I’m going to transfer my work to Jia Hui, it’s good for her to get used to it sooner. She prepared all those materials last Friday, all by herself, and I think that’s fine.”

"Well, you're right."

Anxi then took Zhong Jiahui to the top floor.

Since this was Zhong Jia Hui's first time handling these matters, a mistake occurred in one of the steps. Coincidentally, the person presiding over the meeting was He Yi, who was known for his high standards and intolerant of any errors. He immediately flew into a rage.

Everyone was on tenterhooks, and Anxi and Zhong Jiahui were naturally the first to bear the brunt.

"Where's Gu Zhiyao?" He Yi's cold, deep voice rang out again in the silent conference room. "I remember she was in charge of this case? Why didn't she come to the meeting today? Why was it handed over to a newcomer instead?"

Seeing the anger emanating from He Yi, and not wanting anything to happen to Gu Zhiyao before she left, An Qian told him the truth, "Mr. He, Zhiyao plans to resign. She has handed over all her work to Zhong Jia Hui. I have trained Zhong Jia Hui. Although Jia Hui is still relatively inexperienced, she is diligent and has talent. I guess she is not used to it yet. I will train her even more and make sure that such a mistake does not happen again."

"Gu Zhiyao, resigning?" He Yi's attention was focused on this, and his expression clearly changed.
