Chapter 506 Dream, Heartache
The following day, Yifei boarded a plane back to China.
Gu Zhiyao brought Chenchen and Niu Niu to see them off.
Niu Niu held onto Yi Fei's hand reluctantly and said, "Dad went back a while ago, and now even you, Brother Yi Fei, are going back. I really don't want this to happen!"
Seeing the little girl on the verge of tears, Yifei couldn't help but hug her tenderly and coax her softly, "The separation is only temporary. We'll see each other soon. I'll be waiting for you in China next weekend. I'll have prepared lots of delicious food and fun things for you."
"It's a deal then! Also, Yifei, when you get back to China, remember to exercise and get fully recovered so you'll have the strength to take me and my brother out to play."
"Yes, definitely!" Yifei touched her face, then chatted with Chenchen for a few words before standing up and coming to Gu Zhiyao.
Gu Zhiyao had a gentle smile on her face, her eyebrows were curved, and her expression was serene, like a fairy. She could instantly calm people's hearts and make all their worries and troubles disappear.
Yifei couldn't take his eyes off her. After a while, he said meaningfully, "Zhiyao, I'll be waiting for you!"
"Yes, have a safe journey and take care of yourself," Gu Zhiyao said gently.
Everyone, we parted ways completely.
The plane soared into the sky and gradually disappeared into the atmosphere.
Gu Zhiyao brought Chenchen and Niuniu home. As she sat there, she suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart.
Chenchen came over with a glass of warm water. "Mom, have some water."
Gu Zhiyao smiled and took the drink, then stared at her son's handsome face. Naturally, He Yi, who had a face that looked just like hers, came to mind, and then she remembered what He hope had said.
"Mom, you must be very tired. Why don't you take a nap?" Chenchen took the cup, put it down, and held her arm.
Gu Zhiyao carefully stood up and, with the little one's help, returned to the bedroom.
Chenchen even covered her with a blanket.
Gu Zhiyao felt a warmth in her heart, a relieved smile on her lips, and then she watched her son fall into a deep sleep.
But in her sleep, she had a dream.
She dreamed that the child in her womb was born and given to He Yi, but the child was difficult to take care of, often cried, and was not in good health. At first, Grandma Gu would help take care of the child, but later Grandma Gu passed away. He Yi was very busy with work and could not take care of the child at all. He Xi asked He Yi to remarry and find a good woman to take care of the child, but He Yi insisted on not getting married, and almost all his time and energy were devoted to his work.
Once, when the child was sick and on the verge of death, He hope personally brought the child to her after she was saved.
Under her meticulous care, the child's condition gradually improved.
He Yi became even more lonely. As the years passed, he passed away in his office at the age of 40 due to the intensity of his work.
The surrounding area was filled with the sound of crying. Chenchen, Niu Niu, and Xiao Bao were all in front of He Yi's grave, crying and trembling.
She looked at his photo as if struck by lightning, her soul seemingly leaving her body. Then, she lost her footing and plunged into a bottomless abyss!
Ah!
Gu Zhiyao screamed shrilly.
I woke up with a start.
"Mom?" Chenchen came in just then and was startled to see her like this.
Gu Zhiyao first looked around, and then gradually realized that she had a nightmare. However, she couldn't get those images out of her mind. Looking at Chenchen's face, which looked just like He Yi's, she seemed to see He Yi's lonely life, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Mommy, are you alright?" Chenchen continued to ask. "Are you feeling unwell? Is the baby making you uncomfortable? Tell me."
Gu Zhiyao composed herself, looked at her son who was full of concern, and made a decision in her heart. She slowly said, "Chenchen, if Mom leaves you with Dad after we return to China and lets you stay with Great-Grandma, will you be unhappy?"
Chenchen froze instantly, staring intently at her.
Gu Zhiyao felt a pang of pain in her heart, and immediately hugged her son to her chest, choking back tears, "I'm sorry, Chenchen, I'm so sorry."
"Why? Mom, have you made a decision?" Chenchen asked after a while.
Gu Zhiyao thought for a moment and said, "After Mom returns to China, she might go to where Brother Yifei works, and then she'll stay there with him. Chenchen, you're still young, and there are many things that Mom can't tell you right now because you might not understand. Whether Mom is by your side or not, Mom will always be thinking about you, and she will often make time to come back and see you. When you grow up and miss Mom, you can come to Mom."
Chenchen's little body stiffened even more. After a moment, he stepped out of Gu Zhiyao's arms and stared at her intently. "Mom, do you mean you're never going to be with Dad again? You're leaving me with Dad? You want me to stay with Dad? To stay with Dad forever?"
Gu Zhiyao felt a burning sensation in her throat again and nodded, "Yes. Brother Yifei was seriously injured this time. Although he has recovered, his physical functions are not yet fully normal. Mom wants to take care of him."
Chenchen looked at Gu Zhiyao with a half-understanding look in his eyes, and then nodded. "If Mom thinks this is good for you, then I will listen to your arrangements. Don't worry, Mom, I won't be unhappy. I know you have no choice but to do this."
At this moment, Gu Zhiyao burst into tears, hugged him tightly, and apologized again, "I'm sorry, Chenchen, Mom is so sorry."
Gu Zhiyao felt incredibly guilty. He hadn't grown up by her side back then, and she had put in so much effort and sacrifice to finally bring him back to her side, but now she had to separate from him again.
The excruciating pain made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Hearing Chenchen sobbing also broke her heart, and she trembled all over.
Then Xiao Lin appeared.
Xiao Lin was taken aback at first, then rushed over, "What happened?"
After Gu Zhiyao and Chenchen parted ways, Gu Zhiyao first told Xiao Lin through tears that everything was alright, then wiped away her son's tears and said, "Go wash your face first, Mom and Uncle Xiao have a few words."
Chenchen nodded obediently again and went out.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Lin and Gu Zhiyao sat down facing each other. "Did Chenchen do something to upset you? But it can't be that bad, he's always been very well-behaved."
"Yes, he didn't do anything. I told him to stay with He Yi after he returns to China next week."
"You mean... give him to He Yi to raise? But didn't you say you were going to give this baby in your belly to He Yi?" Xiao Lin asked in surprise, "What happened?"
Gu Zhiyao then shared her dream scenario, "Although it's a dream, I really can't ignore it. Actually, thinking about it carefully, it's unrealistic to give it to the baby in my belly. The baby is so small, and it will definitely be very uncomfortable without its mother's company. And I can't bear to part with it either. After thinking it over, if I have to let a child stay with He Yi, then let Chenchen stay with him. Chenchen grew up by his side and they have a very good relationship. Moreover, Chenchen is very sensible and capable. When it grows up, it can go with him to work in the company and help him reduce his workload so that he doesn't have to suffer so much."
