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

Chapter 536 Never Give Up

Although Yifei made a one-year agreement, he knew that this was just an excuse for each other, and that nothing would change between him and Gu Zhiyao a year later.

Therefore, he devoted his time and energy to his work, trying to shift his focus. He took on the most arduous tasks, went to the most backward villages, and worked day and night to lead the local people to improve their lives and escape poverty.

Today, after a busy period, he was about to return for a meeting when he heard that Gu Zhiyao had been admitted to the hospital to prepare for childbirth, so he rushed over to see her.

"Yifei, when did you come back to Yuncheng? Was it for work? Or did you come to see me specifically? I'm fine, everything's going well for me." Gu Zhiyao spoke first, smiling as she casually spoke to Yifei.

Looking at her beautiful and serene smiling face, Yifei felt a surge of relief. He quickly composed himself and replied, "I came back for a meeting and heard that your due date is approaching, so I thought I'd drop by to see you."

"Yes, I'm fine. The baby is very good, and the doctors are helping me. I don't think the delivery will be too difficult," Gu Zhiyao continued happily.

Yifei nodded and asked her about the baby. After she finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment, as if they didn't know what else to talk about.

After a moment's thought, Gu Zhiyao asked about his work in the countryside. Yifei seemed to have found a topic to talk about and shared many of his experiences with her. Gu Zhiyao was secretly happy for him and full of admiration for him as she looked at his enthusiastic and sincere appearance.

Just as she had told him before, he was a good official and a blessing to the people. He had made the right choice in taking this path!

Hearing her undisguised praise, Yifei suddenly scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said, "Many things are only worthwhile after you've done them. Zhiyao, I will do my best and strive to walk this path to the heights I can reach."

"Yes, I believe you can do it, Yifei, you are really great!" Gu Zhiyao said sincerely.

Yifei's eyes lit up.

They gazed at each other intently.

Just then, He Yi arrived.

He Yi sensed the unusual atmosphere in the room, and seeing the smiles on Gu Zhiyao and Yi Fei's faces, his heart skipped a beat, and a sense of melancholy washed over him.

"Uncle." Yifei had already spotted him and called out happily.

He Yi regained his composure and stepped forward casually, asking, "When did you get back?"

"I just arrived and stopped by to see Zhiyao first. I have a meeting to attend later," Yifei said frankly.

He Yi nodded.

The three stood facing each other, making the atmosphere even more awkward.

Just then, medical staff came to accompany Gu Zhiyao for some prenatal checkups and guidance, so the two men left the room and went to the end of the corridor.

Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts. After a moment of silent eye contact, Yifei broke the silence, "Uncle, you'll persevere, right?"

He Yi was taken aback.

Yifei continued, "I thought that after I left, you and Zhiyao would have more opportunities to be together. I never expected that she would rent another place and live with Lin Yu. Sometimes I don't know what she's thinking. She clearly has feelings for you, so why does she still keep you at arm's length? Uncle, I hope you won't hold it against her. She's really had a hard time, after all, she's been through so much hardship!"

He Yi looked at Yi Fei with mixed feelings, even feeling a little guilty, but he quickly suppressed it and said firmly, "Yes, I will persevere and wait for her to open her heart. Yi Fei, thank you."

Yifei shook his head. "Please don't say that. I'm not asking you, Uncle. I'm doing this for Zhiyao. She loves you, and she's only truly happy with you. I hope you can be more patient and not give up."

"I will, don't worry."

"Okay." Yifei looked up at the sky, and the vast blue sky eased his heavy heart considerably.

He smiled slightly and continued, "I should be able to see the baby when I come back next time. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. If it's a boy, he'll probably look like you, Uncle. If it's a girl, she'll look like Zhiyao. I'm really looking forward to it."

He Yi didn't know what to say. Although Yi Fei seemed nonchalant, he knew that Yi Fei was faking it and that Yi Fei must be feeling very bad and in pain inside.

But, Yifei, I'm sorry, I can't back down anymore. I can't push Gu Zhiyao to you anymore. I'm willing to give you everything else, and I'll do my best to help you in the future. But Zhiyao is the only one I can't live without.

"Something's wrong! Miss Gu suddenly has abdominal pain and her water broke. It looks like the baby will be born prematurely." Suddenly, a nurse ran over to report to He Yi.

The other two medical staff members have also been busy making preparations.

He Yi's expression changed drastically, and he asked, "Are you sure? Are you going to give birth now?"

"Yes, we're about to take Miss Gu into the delivery room. One family member can accompany her inside. Would you like to go in, Mr. He?" the nurse said hurriedly.

Although Ms. Gu did not tell everyone about her relationship with Mr. He, it was clear that Mr. He was the father of the child, and in addition to the child in her womb, they also had two seven-year-old twins.

So, the nurse naturally asked He Yi if he wanted to go in and accompany her during childbirth.

He Yi glanced quickly at Yi Fei, then nodded to the nurse and hurried to the room.

Yifei stared intently, a touch of melancholy on his face. If only he were the one to accompany her during childbirth!

But Yifei, are you stupid?

That's your uncle's child. Your uncle is the father and the one most qualified to go in. Besides, you've already chosen to let go and give way to his wishes.

Yifei's eyes welled up with tears, and his vision blurred, but he quickly wiped his eyes and began to worry about Gu Zhiyao.

Gu Zhiyao, you must hold on! You are so brave, you can definitely do it!

I'm waiting for your good news.

The surroundings began to fall into disarray, with footsteps and figures rushing around everywhere.

Yifei arrived at the door of the delivery room and waited quietly.

In the delivery room.

Gu Zhiyao was placed on the delivery bed, and the contractions became more and more intense, to the point that she even became somewhat delirious.

She didn't know why the baby was suddenly about to come out.

She still has three days left until her due date.

Was it because he suddenly saw Yifei and his emotions were too turbulent?

Yifei...

She murmured something to herself.

I struggled to open my eyes and saw a figure.

It's He Yi!

He Yi grabbed her hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I will always be here with you, Gu Zhiyao. You are the greatest mother and the bravest mom!"

Gu Zhiyao immediately burst into tears.

He Yi lowered his head and kissed her face, continuing to comfort her.

"Where is Yifei?" Suddenly, he heard a faint moan coming from her mouth, and his body immediately froze.
