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

Tan Yifei cheered, "Well done, Uncle! I was so afraid that you wouldn't marry Sister Yuanxi because of everyone's pressure! You truly are my idol!"

Seeing his nephew's energetic appearance, He Yi casually asked, "Are you dating anyone?"

Tan Yifei paused for a moment, then said disdainfully, "I haven't found anyone I like. Those women may be pretty, but I don't think they're anything special and they're not good enough for me."

Haha, I'm not good enough for you!

You brat.

He Yi glared at his nephew and said, "It's right not to date. Your main task now is to study and prepare for the college entrance examination. You can date in college."

"Okay, Uncle, can you stop talking to me about this? I'm already annoyed. Is going to university really that important? Anyway, I'm not from a poor family who needs to find a way to change my fate. My dad is a high-ranking official, and my mom is a successful businesswoman. Their money is enough for me to live comfortably for several lifetimes!"

"It is precisely because your father is a high-ranking official and your mother is a successful businesswoman that you must be more outstanding than them. Look at your peers, whose children are not striving to get ahead? Even if not for anyone else, think about your mother."

"Hehe, will she be sad? She's just afraid of losing face. As for my dad... he's always ignored me. He only cares about his career. He doesn't even care about my mom, let alone me."

He Yi thought of his sister and brother-in-law's situation and fell silent for a moment. Then, he reached out and gently pressed on Yi Fei's shoulder. "That's why you have to work even harder, Yi Fei. You've been with me since you were little. Besides your sister and grandmother, you're the person I value most. I hope you can be even better than me!"

Tan Yifei froze upon seeing his uncle's serious and solemn expression.

Uncle, aren't you my closest relative? You're even more important than my parents.

But he quickly suppressed his emotions, reverting to his usual carefree attitude, and playfully laughed, "Alright, Uncle, you were wrong just now. Auntie should be more important to you than me, right? Speak of the devil, Auntie, come and take your uncle away. Stop lecturing me all the time. I'm already so old!"

He Yi turned around and saw Zheng Yuanxi walking gracefully towards him.

"Uncle, Aunt, I won't bother you any longer. Have a pleasant evening."

Tan Yifei slipped away. Zheng Yuanxi looked at him for a while, then turned her gaze back to He Yi, her eyes swirling, before slowly saying, "Ayi, does Grandma not agree to our marriage?"

“No,” He Yi said quickly.

"That……"

"Yuanyuan, the wedding will proceed as scheduled. We can start preparations tomorrow. But I'm sorry, the company has been quite busy lately, with many new projects and expansions into new areas. I might be a bit busy and unable to keep up with everything, but I will try my best to make time for it." He Yi took Zheng Yuanxi's hand and said apologetically.

Zheng Yuanxi shook her head, "Ayi, don't be like that, I understand. You just go ahead and do your work, leave these things to me!"

"Yuanyuan, thank you!"

"Why are you being so polite? We shouldn't thank you."

"Then, shall I do it another way?" Looking at her stunning face, He Yi lowered his head and kissed her rosy lips.

Zheng Yuanxi was taken aback at first, then closed her eyes and went along with it.

As He Yi kissed her, his large hand naturally slid to her chest, becoming increasingly intense and passionate. But suddenly he stopped abruptly, pulled up her collar, and said in a low, husky voice, "I'm sorry, I forgot you're not fully recovered yet."

Zheng Yuanxi stared at him blankly, her face flushed, still not fully recovered from the infatuation she had just experienced.

This was the first time they had been so intimate since she recovered. Although they had been close for many years before, their relationship had never been very intense because her illness prevented such impulses, and he had always restrained himself.

But tonight...

A thought suddenly flashed through Zheng Yuanxi's mind: Could he have mistaken her for Gu Zhiyao?

During those days, he and Gu Zhiyao often did that kind of thing, and he even got Gu Zhiyao pregnant. So he developed this habit. Just now, thinking it was Gu Zhiyao again, he naturally did such passionate things. Only when he realized it was her did he quickly stop.

No, Zheng Yuanxi, you can't think like this. It's all in the past, and you've decided to let it go. Why are you thinking about this again? You have to get out of this obsession, otherwise you and him will always have problems!

Zheng Yuanxi took a deep breath and forcefully shook off this curse-like thought.

"What's wrong?" He Yi noticed that something was off about her and asked with concern.

"It's nothing," Zheng Yuanxi said casually, gazing tenderly at his handsome and tall figure. She continued, "Ayi, I really hope my illness can be cured as soon as possible so that I can do the things that couples do with each other."

He Yi was taken aback, then said, "Yuanyuan, it's okay. I love you, and it's not for this reason."

“But I think, before we got married we could say there was no rush, but soon we'll be husband and wife. If I can't even fulfill the most basic responsibilities of a wife, I'll be in great pain! I won't be happy! Ah Yi, I don't want... other women…”

"Don't talk nonsense!" He Yi quickly covered her mouth, his handsome face darkening slightly, and continued, "Yuanyuan, I mishandled the matter with Gu Zhiyao, but I promise you that it will never happen again. No matter what you do, I will not find other women. This is my promise to you, otherwise I..."

"Okay, I believe you. You don't need to swear!"

"I will continue to find renowned doctors to cure you as soon as possible, Yuanyuan. I will give you the most beautiful things in this world!"

"Thank you, Yi. I am so lucky to have met you. No matter what the future holds, I am content!"

He Yi touched her face and hugged her tightly.

At this moment, Gu Zhiyao, accompanied by Lin Houze, had just come out of Lin Houze's law firm.

She started working at the law firm that afternoon and began reviewing the various case files Lin Houze had given her, as well as all the information about the case that Li Xuedong had sent her. She's been reviewing them ever since.

"Were you this dedicated when you worked at the He Group? Whoever is your boss is truly blessed." Lin Houze said as he walked, noticing a few strands of hair falling across her forehead. He instinctively wanted to reach out and brush them away, but then he held back.

Gu Zhiyao didn't notice any of this and smiled faintly, "Our department director is a very hardworking and conscientious person. Sometimes when she's busy, she works overtime until midnight, so we feel bad leaving early. But she's a really nice person and takes good care of me."

"You're so smart and have such a great personality, you're destined to be liked! Zhiyao, have you ever considered staying with me after this case is over? Although it's different from your previous business dealings, I think it's more challenging. By the way, I've never understood why you, with your excellent grades, would consider becoming a top lawyer instead of a legal counsel?"
