After the incident was exposed that day, she never saw him again. He still exuded a cold and ruthless aura that kept strangers at bay.

Everyone says the CEO is very aloof.

But she had seen his gentleness; it was a gentleness directed only at Zheng Yuanxi.

Quan Xinyu nodded to Gu Zhiyao in greeting.

Gu Zhiyao also glanced at Quan Xinyu, then lowered her eyes slightly, waiting for He Yi to pass before continuing to walk.

As He Yi got into the car, Quan Xinyu reported to him, "President, Miss Wen went to see Gu Zhiyao again today, along with Miss Zheng. Miss Zheng wanted Gu Zhiyao to dissolve her marriage with you ahead of schedule, but Miss Gu Zhiyao seemed unwilling."

He Yi's body stiffened slightly, and he said in a low, hoarse voice, "Wen Ya didn't do anything out of line, did she?"

"Miss Wen originally wanted to beat up Gu Zhiyao, but Gu Zhiyao stopped her. Miss Zheng didn't have any special reaction, and her emotions have calmed down a lot."

Several days after the incident was exposed, He Yi went to see Zheng Yuanxi. Zheng Yuanxi did not stop him, but she also did not talk to him much and did not mention Gu Zhiyao again. However, He Yi knew that she was still angry.

But he didn't blame her.

He wronged her; he broke his promise, making their love imperfect.

"How's the big garden you asked me to build coming along? Send some more people to speed things up. I think it should be finished by this weekend," He Yi suddenly ordered.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Quan Xinyu understood. This was something that could be solved with money, so there was no problem. After all, the president had plenty of money.

He Yi relaxed his furrowed brows, opened his phone and found Zheng Yuanxi's number, but after hesitating for a moment, he did not dial it. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Gu Zhiyao had a busy day at the company, and in the evening, Zhong Jiahui took her out to dinner. Zhong Jiahui had gradually accepted the fact that she had resigned, and with Zhong Jiahui's accelerated guidance these days, she was getting better at her work, so her confidence was also doubling.

At this moment, Zhong Jia Hui pulled Gu Zhi Yao and said, "Sister Zhi Yao, is your period over? Can you drink now? How about we go to a bar? I heard there are a lot of male models there, with top-notch bodies and faces. The most important thing is that we can ask them to do whatever we want. I want to experience that too."

"Why don't you go with Xiao Zhou next time? This kind of occasion is more suitable for young people like you." Gu Zhiyao declined. Although she had never been to these places, she had heard of them and wasn't particularly interested.

But Zhong Jia Hui still hoped she would go, saying, "What do you mean, 'young girl'? Sister Zhi Yao, why do you talk as if you're much older than me? You're only two years older than me, we're the same generation! So many guys in the company used to pursue you, but you didn't like any of them. Actually, I think some of them are quite good. Although they're not from wealthy families, they have a bright future and will be worry-free for the rest of their lives!"

"It's all about feeling," Gu Zhiyao said with a smile.

"That's true. I wonder who will win your heart in the future. Actually, I think the president is a good match for you, but unfortunately he has a girlfriend. However, I heard that the president and his girlfriend have been having a fight recently, and everyone in the secretariat is on edge, afraid that they will be the ones to get shot."

"You're so gossipy too," Gu Zhiyao said casually.

"It's because they're talking. I can't just cover my ears and not listen, otherwise they'll think I'm hostile to them and try to trip me up. Besides, we don't have boyfriends, and we just work every day. A little gossip is good for enriching our boring days."

"Zhiyao, do you think the CEO and Ms. Zheng are really that in love? Will they stay together forever? I don't think so. It's not that the CEO is unfaithful, but I feel that even perfect people aren't immune to setbacks; there are always unexpected events."

"That's their business, not something we can imagine." Gu Zhiyao was not interested and didn't really want to talk about this topic.

Seeing this, Zhong Jiahui also said, "That's true. Let's not talk about them. When you go abroad, you'll be surrounded by people of all skin colors and eyes. Wouldn't it be even harder to find a boyfriend? Although you're very capable, I still think you should find a partner while you're young. Having children early won't do so much harm to your body."

"Yes, I will pay more attention to outstanding people around me."

"It's a deal then, remember to tell me as soon as you find a boyfriend. I'll take a look at your eyes!"

"it is good."

Next, Gu Zhiyao naturally didn't go to that bar with Zhong Jiahui to find male models. They just had a normal dinner and then went home.

Since becoming pregnant, Gu Zhiyao has felt noticeably tired. When she returned to her residence, she lay on the sofa and didn't want to move at all, so she simply fell asleep.

I vaguely heard footsteps.

She opened her eyes and saw a huge dark shadow appear before her.

Why is he here?

Oh right, today seems to be the day we were supposed to do that thing.

But she told him she wasn't using it recently.

Unlike before, he didn't immediately ravage her upon arrival. Instead, he stood there, his eyes sharp and cold, like a leopard's.

Is he here to settle scores with him?

He knew that Zheng Yuanxi had met with her today and assumed that she had done something to Zheng Yuanxi again.

"Gu Zhiyao, you'd better not have any contact with Yuanyuan, or I will definitely not let you off the hook!"

His warning flashed into Gu Zhiyao's mind.

Gu Zhiyao's bright eyes instantly dimmed. She stood up and walked past He Yi.

"Stop!" A low, cold shout came from behind.

Gu Zhiyao stopped.

He Yi came up to her. He was 185cm tall, and she was 168cm tall, almost a head taller than her.

Looking down at her in the darkness like this creates an even greater sense of oppression.

"Name your conditions, as long as you're willing to annul the engagement early." His words, devoid of any warmth, continued to escape his thin lips.

Gu Zhiyao smiled and looked at him without saying a word.

A flash of anger crossed He Yi's eyes, and he said in a harsh voice, "Is one hundred million enough for you?"

One hundred million?

Haha, there are more and more of them.

If she continues to persist like this, will she eventually reach a billion, or even ten billion?

Gu Zhiyao continued to stare at him intently, then spoke up, "One hundred million is too little. I want ten billion. I wonder if President He can meet that requirement?"

Ten billion!

Even though He Yi was incredibly wealthy, he couldn't help but frown and become even colder and more intimidating when he heard her ask for such a huge sum of money.

"Well? Mr. He is reluctant to part with it? Then I'm sorry..."

"Gu Zhiyao, don't be ungrateful!!" He Yi grabbed Gu Zhiyao's neck with his large hand.

Gu Zhiyao winced in pain, grabbed his hand and struggled fiercely, "Mr. He, since you want to use money to solve our marriage, then be more sincere. You love Miss Zheng so much, your love for her is not just a mere 10 billion, it should be 100 billion, trillion, or priceless?"

"Gu Zhiyao, are you looking for death? Shut up! You think you can provoke me like this? Who do you think you are!" He Yi shouted.

“I’m nothing, I’m your legal wife, He Yi. We’ve slept together, I’m your first woman, we’ve done it so many times, so I’m nothing!” Gu Zhiyao was also provoked by his contemptuous attitude towards her, and she retaliated against him even more fearlessly.

He Yi was naturally furious.
