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

"Sister An, let's not delve into these things anymore, okay? I'm sorry I didn't tell you before because you're still working at the company, and I didn't want my situation to affect you. You're a very competent boss. Although everyone might feel discouraged and frustrated because of your strict demands, we all know you're doing it for our own good. I can't guarantee the same for others, but at least Jia Hui, Xiao Jing, and I genuinely like you and are grateful to you. So, don't doubt your leadership abilities. Having a boss like you is a blessing for us."

"Don't flatter me, the topic isn't about me, we're talking about your business," Anxi said.

“But I’m telling the truth. Besides, I can’t let my dear sister overthink things, and I can’t let you cry. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen you cry. I was surprised and heartbroken. Sister An, thank you for your love and care, but I’m fine. It’s all in the past. I will live well. Just like you said, I’m so talented, I deserve a brilliant life.” Gu Zhiyao smiled.

But Anxi teared up again.

Gu Zhiyao wiped away her tears. Anxi thought that this was someone else's shop after all, so she calmed down and returned to the counter with Gu Zhiyao.

The shop assistant immediately told Gu Zhiyao that most items could be returned, but there were two items that, according to the rules, could not be returned once they left the store, unless there was a quality issue.

"It's okay, I don't need to return these two items. You can handle the rest for me, thank you!" Gu Zhiyao said.

"Okay, you're welcome." The shop assistant already felt sorry for Gu Zhiyao because she had lost her child, so her attitude was even better.

After a short while, the process was completed. Gu Zhiyao handed the two non-refundable items to An Qian, saying, "Sister An, do you have any relatives who might need these? Why don't you take them back with you? I have no use for them here anyway, so let's not waste them."

Anxi recently discovered that her cousin was indeed pregnant, so she readily accepted the invitation. After everyone left the store, Anxi gazed at Gu Zhiyao, feeling a pang of tenderness in her heart, and then asked, "Are you still going abroad?"

Gu Zhiyao paused for a moment before answering truthfully, "I went abroad before thinking of secretly giving birth to the child. Now that the child is gone, I probably won't go abroad again, at least not in the short term. Sister An, we can get together for a meal. I haven't seen Niu Niu and Lele in a long time. How about I bring them out next time and treat everyone to a meal?"

"That Wen Ya, she'll get what's coming to her! Her brother is a prime example, and it'll be her turn soon! And that Zheng Yuanxi, I used to think that President He and she were a perfect match, but now I just wish them a terrible end!" An Qian rarely spoke ill of people like this, but she was just too angry and felt sorry for Gu Zhiyao.

Gu Zhiyao smiled faintly, "Come on, let's go."

In the afternoon, Anxi happened to be attending a meeting on the top floor.

She was still thinking about Gu Zhiyao, and her gaze towards He Yi naturally carried resentment and bitterness, a resentment that everyone present could feel.

After the meeting, Quan Xinyu called out to An Qian, "My dear aunt, what's wrong with you today?"

Anxi understood that Quan Xinyu was referring to her performance in the meeting, and asked him, "Assistant Quan, Zhiyao was once pregnant with President He's child, right?"

Quan Xinyu froze, staring intently at Anxi.

Anxi continued, "I went to the baby store today and ran into Zhiyao returning a lot of children's items. She had bought them for her baby in advance, but now she doesn't need them anymore. I guess she's afraid of being reminded of her by seeing them, so she's just selling them. I'm a woman too, and I know a mother's heart all too well. How can President He be so heartless? No matter what, it's still his child. Doesn't he fear retribution for treating his child like this in the future?"

As Anxi's words became increasingly outrageous, Quan Xinyu quickly said, "Uh, what are you saying! This isn't President He's fault; it was Wen Ya who caused it."

"Even if it's not his fault, it's still because of him. Besides, if he really had any feelings for the child, any conscience, he should have made Zheng Yuanxi pay the price she deserved, instead of marrying her. Ha, I thought Zheng Yuanxi was so noble and kind. It seems I overestimated her. The number one princess of Yuncheng? Bah!"

Quan Xinyu grew increasingly helpless. "Anxi, I know you and Gu Zhiyao have a good relationship, and I feel sorry for Gu Zhiyao, but you need to know your limits, right? Since you know that Miss Zheng is the apple of President He's eye, someone he would protect at all costs, then you shouldn't meddle in other people's business. You've already taught President He a lesson from last time. Don't let President He actually fire you!"

Anxi paused for a moment, but still snorted coldly, "I heard Zheng Yuanxi can't do that kind of thing? Then just wait and see. As the heir of the He family, President He can't possibly be without descendants. Hmm, just watch."

After saying that, Anxi left.

Quan Xinyu watched her retreating figure, remaining speechless.

How could he not understand what Anxi meant?

And that last sentence about retribution.

It's simply a way of saying that President He will never be able to have children again!

Fortunately, President He didn't hear any of this, otherwise he would have fired Anxi immediately!

Well, he's not a god, he can't control everything. Let's just leave it to Anxi's fate. If Anxi is determined to die, there's nothing he can do to save her.

Quan Xinyu arrived at He Yi's office just as He Yi was on the phone, his voice gentle, even his eyes carrying a faint smile.

You don't even need to listen to know who's on the other end of the phone.

Quan Xinyu couldn't help but recall Anxi's accusations, and felt a pang of sadness. Later, He Yi ended the call and talked to Quan Xinyu about the wedding, repeatedly instructing him to make sure the wedding was arranged properly and perfectly.

Quan Xinyu felt even more depressed, but this was his boss, so naturally he had to obey orders.

At the same time, Zheng Yuanxi was telling Wenya the good news that the old lady had agreed to the marriage.

This would undoubtedly be a bombshell and a devastating blow to Wenya.

She secretly loved He Yi and of course did not want He Yi and Zheng Yuanxi to really become husband and wife. She always held onto a sliver of hope, even though she knew that He Yi did not love her at all, and even felt disgusted by her after all these things!

"What's wrong?" Zheng Yuanxi asked, puzzled, when she saw Wen Ya remain silent and have a strange expression.

Wen Ya regained her senses and gazed at Zheng Yuanxi's radiant face. She was secretly furious with jealousy, but on the surface, she pretended to be happy for Zheng Yuanxi and said, "I... I'm just a little surprised, and I'm happy for you."

“Ayi’s parents are gone, so his grandmother is like a parent to him, and he has a deep affection for her. Although he said he would marry me as planned no matter what, now that we have his grandmother’s consent, I can finally rest easy. But Aya…” Zheng Yuanxi’s joy faded, and a hint of worry and unease appeared on her face. “His grandmother wants us to get pregnant as soon as possible, but you know my body. I can’t even do that kind of thing with him, so how can I get pregnant?”
