For the first time, the man humbled himself, pleading with her to stay, and even shed tears.
But Li Qingqing that day was more direct and decisive than a thunderbolt falling from the sky.
She flung Duan Huaichuan's hand away, her expression blank, and strode forward without looking back.
That day, Duan Huaichuan walked for a very long time in the pouring rain from the Civil Affairs Bureau to the military compound. After returning home, he developed a high fever and was unable to get out of bed for three days.
In his dazed state, he was still calling out the names of Li Qingqing and Tuantuan.
But they didn't even visit him in the hospital once.
Belated affection is worth less than grass.
The idea that a prodigal son's return is more precious than gold is just a beautiful ending imagined by men.
Women in the new era have the courage and right to choose not to forgive; they deserve a better life.
People in the compound couldn't help but secretly give Li Qingqing a thumbs up, secretly marveling that this was the punishment a scumbag deserved.
Duan Huaichuan was the one who acted recklessly back then, and now he deserves the fate of being separated from his wife and children.
After Duan Huaichuan recovered from his high fever, Li Qingqing arranged to meet him.
At that time, Duan Huaichuan was extremely haggard—his hair was a mess, his beard was unshaven, and he hadn't taken care of himself in a long time. His dark circles were almost reaching his feet, and he looked like a walking dead tree.
Only when he saw Li Qingqing did his lifeless eyes regain a glimmer of life.
But when he learned that Li Qingqing had only come to discuss the child's schooling with him, the little hope that had ignited in Duan Huaichuan's heart was extinguished, leaving him with a sore throat.
Duan Huaichuan no longer has the right or the qualification to make amends to Li Qingqing.
He could only channel all his guilt towards Li Qingqing into the child, and Duan Huaichuan agreed to almost all of Li Qingqing's suggestions without hesitation.
Tuantuan is already in elementary school this year. The two of them have agreed that Tuantuan will continue to attend school in the military compound.
After all, the educational resources in the military compound are indeed good, the atmosphere is positive, and the children who go to school together have all grown up playing together. Most importantly, the compound has good security and is relatively safe.
Because Duan Huaichuan is Tuantuan's father after all, Li Qingqing allows the child to reunite with him once a week.
Although Duan Huaichuan was somewhat reluctant, feeling that the time they spent together was too short, he did not raise any objections and agreed.
After discussing the child's situation, Li Qingqing got up and left without hesitation.
Duan Huaichuan instinctively stood up, wanting to stop her, but looking at Li Qingqing's dashing back, he pulled back the foot he had just taken out.
Now, it seems he no longer has any leverage or qualification to keep Li Qingqing by his side.
She's living such a wonderful life now, as if she's taken big strides on the road of life and gone far ahead, leaving him far behind.
He can no longer catch up with her.
There is no possibility for them anymore.
Duan Huaichuan was aware of this, and so were Li Qingqing's relatives and friends.
Upon learning of Li Qingqing's divorce, no one advised them to reconcile; instead, they all wished her a fresh start.
As expected, Li Qingqing devoted herself to her career after the divorce.
