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

Chapter 468 She has psychological problems; I'm afraid she'll go crazy.

Niu Niu continued to press for answers, and then ran up to Gu Zhiyao.

After calming the little girl down, Gu Zhiyao turned to He Yi with a slightly cold expression, "I did say I wanted you to go to jail, but not now. Didn't you say you were going to help me deal with Zhao Guilan and Wen Ya? If you go to jail, who will help me? Who will protect Chenchen and Niuniu? So, I beg you, please don't say these things again!"

He Yi stared at her intently for a moment before replying, "Okay, I understand, Gu Zhiyao. Please give me some more time. Once I've dealt with Zhao Guilan and Wen Ya, I'll turn myself in. Then you can finally let go of the past."

In front of the child, they stopped talking about the topic. Not long after, He Yi received a phone call. He had an urgent matter to attend to at work. He took Gu Zhiyao and the child home. Before leaving, he looked at Gu Zhiyao deeply a few times.

The children quickly fell asleep, but Gu Zhiyao lay on the soft bed, unable to sleep at all. She kept thinking about what had happened that night, and the more she thought about it, the more chaotic her thoughts became.

He Yi still hadn't returned by the next day. Gu Zhiyao wondered if she should call him to ask what was wrong, but before she could decide, Lin Yu arrived.

After all, they were good friends for many years, and Lin Yu could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Gu Zhiyao and that she was clearly not in a good mental state, so she immediately asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with He Yi? Did he bully you again?"

After some thought, Gu Zhiyao recounted what had happened yesterday, including He Yi's plan to turn himself in.

Lin Yu was surprised after hearing this, "Did he really say that? Could it be another ploy to make him suffer?"

"I don't know. I also suspect that he's doing this on purpose to gain my sympathy, but I can't really let him go," Gu Zhiyao said quietly.

Lin Yu calmed down a bit, looked at Gu Zhiyao, and said, "Yao, there's something I want to tell you. Don't be angry after you hear it."

Gu Zhiyao was taken aback. Seeing Lin Yu's serious and solemn expression, she nodded and said, "Yes, go ahead."

"I think you still love He Yi in your heart."

Sure enough, Gu Zhiyao's whole body stiffened.

Lin Yu continued, "Perhaps you hated him and have always tried to suppress this feeling, but it's already taken root in your heart, so deeply that no matter how hard you try, you can't uproot it. But the hurt you suffered back then was too deep, making it impossible for you to forget, let go, or forgive. But being unable to forgive is one thing, and still loving He Yi in your heart is another. This painful and contradictory struggle constantly controls your heart and affects your thinking. I'm afraid that one day, you will break down, Yao."

As Lin Yu recounted her story, Gu Zhiyao's emotions surged. After a long while, she finally spoke, "So, what do you think I should do?"

"From a friend's perspective, I've witnessed all the suffering you've endured over the years, the pain and torment you've endured. I don't want you to have anything to do with He Yi anymore. However, I know you can't truly let go of this emotional attachment. To avoid seeing you break down, I suggest you give each other a chance and try to forgive him." This wasn't what Lin Yu wanted, but as a friend, she didn't want to see anything happen to Gu Zhiyao, so this was the only advice she could offer.

Gu Zhiyao froze once again.

"Forgiving someone isn't actually that difficult. The reason you can't forgive is because you keep remembering the hurt. If you let go of that hurt and stop constantly remembering it, your perspective will change, and you'll slowly begin to forgive. The love that you've suppressed in your heart will also resurface, and then..."

The rest is self-explanatory, and Gu Zhiyao understands it all.

Father, like son.

But in reality, she is not unaware of her own feelings; she simply refuses to confront or face them.

She knows her own heart best. Just like Ayu said, she can't completely let go of He Yi. From beginning to end, her heart has always held him, as if he has taken root in it. Unless she empties her whole heart, He Yi will not disappear!

Seeing him protect Zheng Yuanxi time and time again, she felt not only grief and indignation, but also jealousy and longing. She wondered why this indulgence and protection wasn't for her!

He tolerated Zheng Yuanxi hurting her time and time again. She was resentful and angry each time, but she also longed for him to get justice for her.

Now she has finally waited for him to bring Zheng Yuanxi to justice, but she doesn't want to accept it anymore, simply because of the resentment in her heart.

Ultimately, she was just an ordinary person, and all sorts of human desires and attachments occurred in her.

Gu Zhiyao, you're just an ordinary person!

"Yao, what's wrong? Are you alright?" Lin Yu noticed that Gu Zhiyao was acting strangely and hurriedly asked.

Gu Zhiyao's thoughts were churning. After a moment, she shook her head at Lin Yu and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Is it really okay?"

"Yeah, I just feel a bit tired and really want to get a good night's sleep, the kind where I never have to wake up again."

"Uh, what nonsense are you talking about? You can rest if you're tired, but don't say you don't need to wake up. Have you forgotten Chenchen and Niuniu? They are the people you care about the most and worry about the most."

"Yes, I used to think about taking Chenchen back and raising them properly, but now, I suddenly feel that it doesn't matter if they are not there. They are the descendants of the He family. Grandma He, He Yi, and He Xi will definitely take good care of them and will not let them have a bad life."

"Uh, shut up, Yao, why are you talking like that? What are you saying!" Lin Yu gradually realized what was going on and panicked.

She instinctively gripped Gu Zhiyao's hand tightly, her voice trembling as she said, "They are them, and you are you. I know they really won't abandon Chenchen and Niuniu, but you mean something different to Chenchen and Niuniu. You are their mother, the person in this world who loves them the most and understands them the most. So, you must take good care of them and raise them. This is your responsibility, Zhiyao!"

Yes, no matter what, she still has Chenchen and Niuniu. Since she brought them into this world, she has to take responsibility and raise them well. That's a must.

But she really is...

Gu Zhiyao suddenly clutched her head, feeling an excruciating headache and extreme discomfort.

Lin Yu grew increasingly panicked and fearful, quickly holding her close and continuing, "I'm sorry, Yao, I shouldn't have given you that suggestion, but it just shows my worries weren't unfounded. You might really be having psychological problems. I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on if this continues, so you really need to think about this carefully. Actually, nothing is more important than life. You've already survived the most difficult period, so what's there to fear in the future? You really don't need to torture yourself. Why not try to forgive him?"
