Ux of conditional logic when numbered questions

I would like to apply conditional logic to a questionnaire to make it slimmer and easier to complete for our users. The new questions will appear dynamically appear on the page, under the trigger questions. Ex: How many employees work for the company apart from the founders? (if 0, question is not displayed if > 0, question will dynamically appear)

However, the questions need to be numbered: 1. How many employees work for the company apart from the founders?

How will I deal with the appearance of the numbers? Because until when the question appears (if it does), users will see skipped numbers and I believe that's not good, but I wouldn't know how to do otherwise. It will appear like this: 1. How many employees work for the company apart from the founders? 3. Where is the company based

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
