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

Gu Zhiyao was stunned. In fact, she couldn't remember what she had said to him back then. It was too chaotic at the time. Wen Ya had drugged her, and the child slowly flowed out of her body. She was in pain all over, and her mind was filled with fear and despair.

All she remembered was that when she saw him arrive, she wondered if he was worried that Wen Ya and Zheng Yuanxi hadn't handled things properly, so he came to make sure things were done thoroughly.

In fact, she had long believed that he had authorized or tacitly approved Zheng Yuanxi to do this.

After all, ever since he learned of the child's existence, he couldn't wait to take her to have an abortion.

"Gu Zhiyao, say something!" He Yi said again.

"I don't remember what I said," Gu Zhiyao said calmly. "I said I knew you more than ten years ago? No, how could I know you? I only learned about you two years ago when I joined the He Group. Maybe I was confused at the time and couldn't explain it clearly, or maybe I mistook you for someone else, or maybe I wanted you to save me and deliberately tried to get close to you to elicit your compassion."

He Yijun's face tensed up again, and his gaze turned cold as he looked at her. He was angry!

But Gu Zhiyao ignored her. "Mr. He, you can leave now. Consider the expenses for these past few days as compensation for my miscarriage. You were planning to cover all the expenses when you forced me to have an abortion, right? Well, you're so rich, why would you care about such a small amount of money? Let's call it even. You can leave now. I'm tired and want to rest for a while."

After saying that, she lay down, facing inwards, leaving him with her back to her.

He Yi's expression turned even uglier. He stared at her intently, his mind filled with images of her cold and distant attitude, ignoring him completely.

Finally, he stormed out of the room in a fit of rage.

Hot tears also slid from the corners of Gu Zhiyao's eyes.

A moment later, Lin Yu came in. Lin Yu didn't ask Gu Zhiyao what she and He Yi had just talked about, but from He Yi's angry look, she guessed that the two had broken up. So she hugged Gu Zhiyao and comforted her, "Let's just treat it as a dream. From today onwards, let's pretend we've never met this person. I just asked the doctor, and the doctor said that there's nothing seriously wrong for now. If you really don't want to stay here, you can be discharged and go home to recuperate in a couple of days."

"Ayu, I'm in so much pain. It's finally over. I'll never have anything to do with him again. I know it was destined, and it should be this way, but my heart still aches. I'm so sorry, baby, I couldn't protect him! If he had been born to another mother, he would have been able to come into this world safely and enjoy the life he deserved. Ayu, why did this happen? Why won't they let me go? They..."

"Don't cry, Yao, please don't cry anymore. I know you're in pain, and so am I, but we have to accept this fact. You'll be discharged from the hospital in two days, and I'll go with you to the temple. We'll copy a few more scriptures for the baby and pray for his safety and that he will be reincarnated as soon as possible."

Gu Zhiyao continued to sob uncontrollably, collapsing into Lin Yu's arms.

At this moment, Quan Xinyu also drove He Yi back to the company.

He could clearly sense that He Yi was unhappy, and guessed that Gu Zhiyao and He Yi had talked about something unpleasant in the room.

Unfortunately, he was just a special assistant. Although He Yi valued him highly and would tell him many things, he couldn't ask questions directly. So he could only endure it and silently send He Yi back to the company.

"President, you haven't had lunch yet. Shall I order you some? What would you like to eat?"

"No need. The marketing department meeting is at three o'clock, right? Ask everyone if they're ready. If they are, let's move it up a bit," He Yi said.

"Oh well."

He Yi returned to his office, and Quan Xinyu immediately went to work as well. After the meeting, Quan Xinyu came to He Yi's office again to report some findings of the investigation.

"Mr. He, our investigators have checked the timeline and concluded that the most likely scenario is that you met Gu Zhiyao when you visited the Shanxin Orphanage 13 years ago. Gu Zhiyao grew up in that orphanage."

Kindness Orphanage?

He Yi thought about it for a while and gradually began to have some impression.

He was only fifteen years old at the time. His grandmother liked to do good deeds. One weekend, when he came back from boarding school, his grandmother took him to participate in a charity event, which was to distribute food, clothes, toys, and candy to the children in the orphanage.

It was during that time that he met Zheng Yuanxi.

At that time, he was in his rebellious phase, and his parents were arguing all the time. It seemed that his father was having an affair, which upset him and put him in a bad mood.

In a dark room, he simply hid inside, wanting to see how long it would take before someone came looking for him.

He then fell asleep in the dark room. When he woke up, he was awakened by the heat and found himself surrounded by fire and smoke. He realized there was a fire and tried to run away, but he was too weak to do so.

Just when he was despairing and thought he was going to die, he suddenly heard a faint, timid voice, "Brother He Yi!"

The smoke was too thick, and he became increasingly confused. He couldn't see clearly who was calling him, but he knew it must be a little girl much younger than him.

"Brother He Yi, don't be afraid, I will get you out of here."

"You'll save me? What right do you have to save me?" At the time, he just thought the little girl was naive and somewhat amusing, so he spoke to her with a mocking tone.

"Although I am still very young, I believe that as long as I persevere, I can win!" The little girl suddenly became confident, but then choked a few times and quickly said, "Brother He Yi, don't talk, or you will choke."

How did you know my name? By the way, what's your name?

"I... Ah, Brother He Yi, the pillar is burned. Let's get out of here quickly. Cough cough. Is anyone outside? There's a fire here, and we're trapped inside."

She kept shouting, but there was no response from outside.

"Alright, little girl, no need to call me that." He suddenly laughed. "If we are truly destined to die here, would you be willing to come with me to another world?"

"I'm willing. Wherever Brother He Yi is, I'll be there too."

"Hehe, do you know what this means? It's a vow of life and death between a man and a woman. By the way, how old are you? Do you understand love?"

"I……"

Suddenly another pillar crashed down, hitting He Yi squarely, and he let out a muffled groan.

"Brother He Yi, what's wrong? Does it hurt a lot? Here, let me blow on it for you."

"Silly girl, if we manage to get out of here alive, you'll come with me from now on, and I'll marry you!"

"Will you marry me?"

"Yes, you will be mine, my wife, and the mother of my children!"

"I understand, okay, Brother He Yi, I'll be your wife, and we'll have lots of kids! They'll definitely grow up to be as handsome as Brother He Yi."

"You little brat, are you someone who judges by looks?"

"Brother He Yi, let me carry you out."

He Yi touched her body and found it to be even thinner and more delicate than he had imagined. Could such a small body support him, who was over 1.8 meters tall?

He instinctively pushed her away.

But she seemed very stubborn, and kept trying, but of course she didn't succeed in the end. She had no choice but to give up. "Brother He Yi, I'm sorry, I can't carry you. I'll go out and find someone to rescue you. You have to hold on and wait for me to come back. By the way, I will definitely come back, I will definitely come back, please believe me?"

He did believe her, but he waited and waited until he fainted, and still she didn't come.

When he woke up, he was already in the hospital.

Zheng Yuanxi was also hospitalized with him.
