Chapter 143 Look, even the baby is protesting!
Seeing the delight in the man's eyes, Sang Qian's heart trembled slightly.
Therefore, he never had the thought of "not wanting children," and he was actually looking forward to the arrival of his child.
Sang Qian reached out and touched her belly, then suddenly asked him, "Jin Changyu, you really won't fight me for custody in the future, will you?"
Meeting her worried and wary gaze, Jin Changyu was speechless.
He was expressing his feelings to her, and she was wary that he might try to take the child away.
He sighed inwardly, but said firmly yet gently, "Don't worry, it never will."
If anyone's going to fight over something, it'll be the child fighting over you, not you fighting over the child.
Seeing her visibly relieved, Jin Changyu pursed his lips and tentatively asked, "Have you ever thought that we could actually be with the child together?"
Sang Qian was taken aback, and looked up at him, "...What do you mean?"
Jin Changyu observed her expression subtly. "What I mean is... if we remarry, the child will have a complete family, won't he?"
The woman frowned slightly, clearly disagreeing with what he said.
"Should parents stay together just so their children can have a seemingly complete family?"
Jin Changyu hadn't expected her to interpret it that way. Just as he was about to explain, he saw her shake her head. "No, I don't think this is good for the child or responsible."
"Parents with emotionally dysfunctional backgrounds are unable to provide their children with a healthy family environment. Children who grow up in families that appear harmonious but are actually broken and forced together will only become more emotionally sensitive and vulnerable, and will lack a sense of security."
She didn't want her child to have to go through all that in the future.
"How could it be a forced arrangement?"
Jin Changyu straightened his back and looked at her earnestly, "Qianqian, we can love each other, can't we?"
Loving each other?
For the sake of the children?
Sang Qian lowered her head and gently stroked her belly, her gaze deep and unsettling.
Love with ulterior motives—how much of that love is genuine? And how many years can it withstand the test of time?
She was engrossed in this depressing question, while Jin Changyu anxiously awaited her response...
It was in such a serious atmosphere.
Suddenly, two "gurgling" sounds came from the quiet air.
The two of them were stunned for a moment.
Jin Changyu looked at the belly that she was gently stroking.
Sang Qian didn't expect her stomach to object before she could.
She looked up at the man, blinked her big, bright eyes, and said, "Look, even the baby is protesting."
"..."
Jin Changyu was both amused and exasperated, and couldn't help but raise his hand to gently tap her smooth forehead. "It's protesting that you didn't eat any snacks before you left the house."
Neither baby should go hungry.
Jin Changyu sighed, and could only interrupt the previous topic. He gently instructed her, "You sit here and don't run around. I'll go get you something to eat."
"oh."
Sang Qian sat there obediently, watching the man get up and walk away before she looked down at her stomach again.
Baby, are you really hungry, or are you protesting what your dad just said, hmm?
As I was muttering to myself with my head down, a voice came from above.
"sister in law."
Sang Qian looked up at the sound and saw Li Moyang walking over.
"Young Master Li."
Li Moyang looked around. "Where's Changyu? Why are you the only one here?"
"He... just left to get me some snacks. Do you need to see him? I'll call him back."
Seeing her pick up her phone as she spoke, Li Moyang quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need."
"I'll just sit here and wait for him."
Li Moyang sat down in the chair opposite Sang Qian. "He said he was coming to the Yan family's birthday banquet tonight, so I guessed he was here to accompany you."
Li Moyang joked, "This guy usually doesn't join in on this kind of fun."
Sang Qian smiled slightly, then heard him say, "Oh, of course, it's also because he's too busy, focused on his work, and has no time or inclination to deal with these social obligations."
After Li Moyang finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Jin Changyu had said that Sang Qian was disappointed in him because of his lack of companionship over the past two years.
Thinking of this, Li Moyang suddenly felt like slapping himself in the face.
Isn't he just exposing his own brother's shortcomings?
Knowing full well that their marriage was in trouble because Jin Changyu was too busy with work and neglected his family, he still brought up the very thing he didn't want to talk about.
"Um... Sister-in-law, do you think Changyu is just a workaholic who only cares about work?"
Sang Qian didn't know why he asked that, and smiled, "Didn't you just say the same thing about him?"
"In the past two years, he has indeed devoted himself to his career. To be precise, he has to put all his energy into expanding his business."
Sang Qian's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Li Moyang. "What do you mean by that?"
"Two years ago, around the same time you got married, he took over the reins of the Jin Group from his grandmother."
Li Moyang's expression also became serious. "Having taken office at such a young age, countless people and eyes are watching him, the newly appointed head of the Jin family, both within the group's senior management and outsiders."
"Sitting in the position of commanding the three armies, if he cannot win people's hearts with his ability and stabilize the morale of the troops, then he will not only fail to live up to Grandma Jin's expectations, but also, if he is not careful, cause the senior management of the Jin Group and the management of the company to fall into crisis."
"The business world is always cutthroat. There are countless people outside who want him to fail, to laugh at the Jin Group, or even to pull the Jin Group off its leading position."
Hearing this, Sang Qian felt a pang of heartache for Jin Changyu.
"Therefore, he carries a heavy burden and is under great pressure, especially under the powerful halo of Grandma Jin's reputation. If he wants to create his own glorious era, he is destined to put in far more effort than ordinary people. In particular, the first two or three years are the key period for him to consolidate and develop his career. So it is unavoidable that he has been busy for the past two years."
After hearing this, Sang Qian felt a tightness and discomfort welling up in her heart.
Even though Jin Changyu never told her about the difficulties and hardships at work.
She knew it wasn't easy for him to take over the company from his grandmother, so she was always understanding of his busy schedule.
However... she still underestimated his situation and difficulties.
Now that Li Moyang has said this, she realizes that the difficulty of Jin Changyu taking over the company is a hundred times greater than she imagined.
especially……
His wife couldn't offer him any help at all.
If he had chosen a wife from a wealthy and powerful family, perhaps he wouldn't have had to struggle so much on his own.
Sang Qian felt as if her heart was being pierced by countless needles, making even breathing bitter and painful.
Seeing her suddenly become gloomy and her eyes redden, Li Moyang was startled. Had he given her too much medicine?
Why is she reacting like this?
