Chapter 508 Everything seemed peaceful
When Gu Zhiyao returned this time, she stayed directly at Grandma He's place. It was at the old lady's request. Gu Zhiyao thought that she and Yifei would be going to their new post soon, so she took the opportunity to let the children keep Grandma He company for a while.
The old lady was overwhelmed with excitement upon seeing her great-grandson. She pulled them aside and asked them all sorts of questions. Then her gaze lingered on Gu Zhiyao's still-flat stomach and she said, "Ayao, are you alright? This baby hasn't caused you too much trouble."
Gu Zhiyao's throat also felt hot. "Yeah, she's very well-behaved. I basically don't feel anything."
"That's good." The old lady looked at Yifei again, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "Good boy, thank you for your hard work."
Yifei shook his head and helped the old lady up, "Great-Grandma, let's go over there."
There was still some time before dinner, so everyone put their luggage away first. Yifei helped Chenchen and Niuniu unpack, while Gu Zhiyao stayed with the old lady.
The old lady gazed at her thoughtfully and said, "I heard you quit your job over there. Are you coming back to stay for a long time? Good child, you've both suffered so much. Fortunately, those bad people have been brought to justice and can no longer harm the world. But are you sure you're with Yifei?"
Gu Zhiyao's expression stiffened slightly as she stared blankly at the old lady.
“I used to think that if you and Ayi were truly destined to be apart, it would be good if you were with Yifei, because you are both very good kids. I never thought that fate would really arrange things this way. Ayao, what Grandma means is to do what you want to do. There is no need to pay attention to some worldly views. People live in this world not for others, but for themselves. You don’t owe anyone anything, and there is no need to care about their opinions. Grandma will support you.”
Gu Zhiyao couldn't hold back any longer, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"But this is going to be a difficult process. You need to put in a lot of effort and energy to make yourself like Yifei. This process may be painful, and no one can be sure what the future holds. But first, you have to get out there, right?"
"Thank you, Grandma He. I will try my best. Yifei is really good to me. He has done so much for me. I feel that I can't let him down again."
"Yes, Yifei deserves to be treated well, so let's just stay with him and not worry about the future. Just be happy now. The future is just a series of steps from now on to where we are! As for his mother, Grandma will talk to her. After this accident, her mindset has changed a lot, and she's not as stubborn as before. As for Yi, let's just consider it his ordeal." The old lady didn't mention that He Yi had donated a kidney to Yifei.
Since A-Yi doesn't want to deal with this, let's just keep it to ourselves.
As for what will happen to Ah Yi in the future, that depends on his fate.
A little while later, the nanny came to remind everyone that it was time for dinner, and just then He Yi appeared.
Niu Niu was the quickest to react, rushing to He Yi and exclaiming in surprise, "Daddy, didn't you say you had to go on a business trip? You're back!"
Earlier on the phone, Niu Niu asked He Yi if he would come to pick her up at the airport. He Yi, thinking that Yi Fei would be there, made an excuse that he was on a business trip and might not have time.
But he couldn't resist going anyway, and what he saw broke his heart.
He shouldn't have come back for dinner tonight, but he couldn't help himself, even though he could imagine that there might be scenes that stung his eyes and made him extremely uncomfortable.
No one knew any of this and didn't think much of it. Yifei came over and said, "Uncle, we were just about to eat. Why don't you come and eat with us?"
He Yi looked at him thoughtfully, then nodded.
Then, holding Niu Niu's hand, we walked into the dining room.
Gu Zhiyao seemed a little uncomfortable, but she gradually calmed herself down. With Chenchen and Niu Niu keeping the atmosphere lively, the meal went quite well.
After dinner, everyone returned to the living room. Niu Niu sat next to He Yi and kept chatting with him, while Chen Chen was quieter and just sat quietly with him.
A short while later, Gu Zhiyao accompanied the old lady to rest and personally helped her change her clothes. The old lady looked at her peacefully and said, "I haven't had such a good time in a long time. I've looked forward to it so many times, and now it's finally come true. Thank you, Ayao."
"You're too kind. I felt bad before because you like Chenchen and Niuniu so much, yet they spend so few days with you," Gu Zhiyao said apologetically.
"Don't say that. There's no need for such formalities in front of Grandma. Grandma understands everything. As long as you're all doing well and living happily, that's Grandma's greatest comfort. By the way, your maternal grandmother misses you all very much. Shall we take the children to see her tomorrow?"
"Yes, I will."
"Okay." The old lady thought of her grandson's dejected expression, and her heart stirred, but in the end she didn't say anything.
After Gu Zhiyao finished sleeping, she returned to the living room and found that only Yifei was there.
Yifei had just finished his work and stood up, smiling as he walked towards her. "Your uncle took Chenchen and Niuniu to their room. You must be tired from the long flight. Take a shower and get some rest."
"Are you staying here tonight?" Gu Zhiyao asked.
"That was my original plan, but I have work to do later. I'm being transferred to another city next month, and there are a lot of things to hand over. Several of my colleagues will be working overtime at the office tonight."
"Then take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
"it is good."
Yifei smiled again, his eyes sparkling with bright joy. He gazed at her for a moment before saying, "Shall I go with you to your room?"
"Ah."
Actually, Gu Zhiyao's belly wasn't showing yet, so there were no inconveniences in her daily life. Yifei escorted Gu Zhiyao to the bedroom and then went to do his work shortly afterward.
Although the nanny had already taken care of her luggage, Gu Zhiyao still tidied up a bit before taking a shower. As soon as she came out, she saw He Yi at the door.
She was taken aback at first, then nodded calmly to him and asked casually, "Are Chenchen and Niuniu asleep?"
"Hmm." He Yi came to her side, looking at her beautiful and refined appearance after her bath, his heart surged, but he quickly suppressed it and asked, "Are you feeling alright? Did the baby bother you?"
"She's very good. Compared to Chenchen and Niuniu when they were in my belly, she's very well-behaved," Gu Zhiyao said unconsciously, her beautiful face revealing undisguised maternal love.
He Yi's lips immediately curled up slightly as he gazed at her with infatuation until the atmosphere suddenly became strange. Gu Zhiyao snapped out of her daze and turned her face away.
Then she said, "He Yi, I've changed my mind about the arrangement of the children. I'm thinking of letting me take care of this baby, and Chenchen will stay with you."
Upon hearing this, He Yi was immediately stunned. After a moment, he said, "You're leaving Chenchen with me? But you miss him so much, you..."
He naturally remembered how much effort and dedication Gu Zhiyao had put in to bring Chenchen back to her side.
