The child is still young and doesn't understand the complexities between adults, but when Tuantuan gets older, he will understand that his father doesn't love him.
This is cruel for a child. Li Qingqing didn't want Tuantuan to feel that his father didn't care about him, so she had to at least put on a good show.
As for her, she and Duan Huaichuan didn't have any feelings for each other. Since they had chosen to live together, they might as well just make do for the rest of their lives.
As long as Duan Huaichuan doesn't do anything to ruin his future, she won't make any excessive demands.
"And then there's the child's education. Although it doesn't matter whether he has a father or not, Tuantuan is a boy after all. When you're not busy with work, you should at least take a day to spend with him."
This request wasn't excessive, and Duan Huaichuan could understand it; raising one child was the same as raising two.
He will then bring the two children together and help them develop a relationship. Once they start school, if anyone bullies Zhong Yun'er's child, Tuan Tuan can protect him.
Li Qingqing, unaware of Duan Huaichuan's thoughts, pondered for a moment and said, "That's all. What I'm asking for shouldn't be too much. You can do it, right?"
Duan Huaichuan assumed that Li Qingqing was just jealous. After all, they used to argue about these things back in Shanghai, and now that they had a child, it was understandable that she would be more possessive.
Just as he was about to say something, Li Qingqing said frankly, "It's not that I can't tolerate Zhong Yun'er, but I just don't want rumors to affect your work. Your job is quite special, and so many people in the compound are watching. If you help her too much, rumors will inevitably spread."
Li Qingqing met Duan Huaichuan's gaze directly: "If you are labeled as having improper conduct, it will definitely have a great impact on your work. I don't want you to do anything that will be used against you. No matter what, your work is the most important thing."
Their workplaces were highly competitive, with everyone scrambling to get in. He had worked incredibly hard to achieve his current success, so Li Qingqing wasn't distressed by his sacrifices.
At the very least, Duan Huaichuan's level, position, and salary directly affect her and her child's quality of life.
She decided to bring her child and Shuying from Shanghai to the unfamiliar capital, not to live a life of hardship.
There are quite a few people living in the compound. If something happens in someone's family, it will spread throughout the entire compound in less than half a day. Everyone has a mouth, and everyone has different thoughts. If someone cannot keep themselves clean, they should avoid being talked about by others.
Duan Huaichuan's expression froze for a moment. Li Qingqing was very different from before. He tried to find something unnatural on her face, but the result was obviously disappointing.
"Of course, I know you mean well. I will be careful. Also, I will try to keep my interactions with Zhong Yun'er under the watchful eyes of others, and I will never let her affect you and the child."
Li Qingqing nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.
"I don't care what Zhong Yun'er thinks, so your thoughts are probably not as important as your work. If you want to ruin your future, I don't know what I would do."
Li Qingqing has a clear understanding of her own position; at least for now, she needs to rely on a man, as she is not that independent or self-reliant.
Before he had the ability to start his own business, Duan Huaichuan was an inexhaustible ATM.
Moreover, Tuantuan is his biological child, and she is his wife in the legal sense. In Shuying's words, every penny Duan Huaichuan earns belongs to the joint property of the couple.
