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

The last time she saw He Yi and Zheng Yuanxi trying on wedding dresses at a bridal shop, she actually went there the next day. The sales staff immediately greeted her warmly, asking what type she liked, whether the wedding would be held indoors or outdoors, Chinese or Western style, and even asking when the wedding would be. She didn't answer any of them, but carefully looked at each wedding dress. In the end, she ordered one.

Actually, why is she ordering a wedding dress? She's not getting married. Who is she going to marry?

I don't know why I ended up doing it that way.

I've been so busy with Xiaoyu's case lately that I've completely forgotten about this.

Yes, how could one take something done on a whim to heart?

"Miss Gu?" The person on the other end of the phone called out softly when she didn't respond for a while.

Gu Zhiyao recovered from her daze and replied, "Okay, I'll go over after get off work."

"Then I'll prepare it for you."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhiyao continued to stare blankly. She opened WeChat and scrolled through it, then exited, went outside the office, and dialed Lin Yu's number. "Yu, are you free later? Come with me somewhere?"

"Sure, I just finished my live stream and was just about to call you. How did that case go? Did you win?" Lin Yu asked.

"Yes, Wen Shih-jen was sentenced to five years."

"Wow, that's awesome! That villain finally paid the price! Let's go out for dinner tonight, we have to celebrate!" Lin Yu's voice was filled with excitement.

Gu Zhiyao remained silent, lost in thought.

"Yao? By the way, you just asked me to go somewhere with you? Where would you like to go?"

A few seconds later, Gu Zhiyao slowly said, "To the wedding dress shop."

"Going to a bridal shop? What for?" Lin Yu was immediately stunned. Seeing that Gu Zhiyao remained silent, she didn't think too much about it and agreed, "Okay, I can go with you. I can leave now! Where is that bridal shop? Do you want me to pick you up from Lin Houze Law Firm?"

“It’s near the law firm, I can walk there. We can meet at the entrance of the bridal shop. I’ll send you the address later.”

"Row."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhiyao was still in a state of confusion. She knew that Ayu must be very curious and surprised, and she wondered if she would be even more shocked when she found out what happened, or even think that she had gone crazy again.

Yes, only a madman would do that.

Gu Zhiyao's thoughts couldn't help but return to the courtroom scene today, and He Yi's image flashed through her mind.

She was quite surprised to see him there. She had thought that Zheng Yuanxi might accompany Wen Ya to sit in on the proceedings, but she didn't expect him to show up as well, given how busy he was.

Indeed, there are differences between people.

Even if he's incredibly busy, what does it matter if he's busy with countless tasks? Can any of those jobs compare to Zheng Yuanxi?

"Zhiyao?" A concerned call woke Gu Zhiyao up.

Lin Houze was startled when he saw the tears in her eyes. "What's wrong? Are you crying?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking about Xiaoyu. I felt that this journey has been too difficult." Gu Zhiyao quickly wiped away her tears.

Lin Houze didn't think much of it when he heard her say that. "It was tough, but the storm has finally passed. By the way, are you free tonight? A few of us male classmates are having a get-together. We all know you fought a great battle today, and we want to celebrate for you."

"Tonight? I'm sorry, Houze, I already have other plans." Gu Zhiyao refused without hesitation.

"Really?" Lin Houze said with some regret, but quickly added, "What's the arrangement? Is it important? Is it with Lin Yu? You can invite Lin Yu along."

Gu Zhiyao remained silent.

Seeing this, Lin Houze stopped making things difficult for her. Actually, he always felt that Gu Zhiyao was a bit strange. Although she was a bit aloof and didn't pay much attention to people when she was in school, she was completely different now, giving people a feeling that she was hard to understand.

What has she experienced at the He family in the past two years?

By the way, He Yi also came to the hearing today. Someone of He Yi's status wouldn't normally come.

"Houze, how about we reschedule the meal?" Gu Zhiyao suddenly suggested.

Lin Houze was excited, "Okay, let's change the time then. When would be most convenient for you?"

"Either way, it's up to you."

"Okay, I'll talk to everyone again and let you know when we've set a time."

"If it's really troublesome, that's fine. I just feel a little bad about it, but I really have something to do today."

"I understand, it's alright, it's alright. Don't feel bad about it. We all believe in ladies first, and we will definitely cooperate with you!"

Gu Zhiyao smiled slightly and said that a colleague was looking for Lin Houze, so they all parted ways.

Because Gu Zhiyao wasn't officially employed here, she left the company at five o'clock. When she arrived at the bridal shop, Lin Yu had already arrived as well.

Lin Yu naturally knew that this was the largest and most famous wedding dress shop in the city. Looking around at the beautiful and luxurious storefront, she couldn't help but ask, "Yao, you still haven't told me why we came here."

"I've come to pick up the wedding dress," Gu Zhiyao said truthfully.

"You've come to pick up the wedding dress?" Lin Yu was still stunned. "You..."

Gu Zhiyao finally told her the whole story. Seeing Lin Yu's anxious expression and her heartache for her, she took Lin Yu's arm and said bitterly, "Yu, please don't scold me. Didn't you ask me if I was wearing a wedding dress?"

"I did ask that question, but at the time I was..."

"Yes, I know you're worried about me, Ayu. Maybe I acted impulsively back then. I knew he didn't love me, and I knew I had to face the truth, but I still felt unwilling to accept it, so I did this crazy thing. It's okay, Ayu. I just wanted to wear a wedding dress. I wasn't planning to come today, but I thought I might not have this opportunity again in the future, so I decided to give it a try and see what I look like in a wedding dress!"

Lin Yu was speechless. She wiped away her tears and took Gu Zhiyao's arm as they walked into the store.

The shop assistant came forward to greet her and then took Gu Zhiyao to see the wedding dress. This was a style that Gu Zhiyao had personally chosen. She had even made some modifications to the design draft herself, and the overall effect was better than expected.

The sales clerk kept praising it, "I'm not just flattering you, this is the most unique and beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen in all my years of work. Especially this little butterfly, it's the perfect finishing touch. Even our in-house designer couldn't help but praise it. Our boss even said he's planning to hire Ms. Gu as our design consultant."

Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but smile faintly, "Thank you for your praise. It's because of your overall strength. I was just giving you some small suggestions."

"Why don't you try it on first? You have such a great figure and looks, you'll definitely look very, very beautiful in it!" The shop assistant then led Gu Zhiyao to the dressing room without delay.

Lin Yu followed her in, and she and the shop assistant helped Gu Zhiyao put on the dress. As the shop assistant said, the beautiful wedding dress looked even more stunning on Gu Zhiyao, and could even be described as unparalleled.
