He didn't know what Li Qingqing was thinking. She was just the widow of a comrade-in-arms, so why would she hold a grudge against him for so long?
They completely ignored him and didn't care about his feelings.
The children are now completely unfamiliar with him; those who don't know him probably don't even know who his biological children are.
“Qingqing has been having issues with me these past few days. I want to have a good talk with her, but I never have the time, and I don’t know how to bring it up. She’s the one who manages everything at home. I know she works hard, but she can’t keep holding a grudge like this. Life isn’t always smooth sailing for a couple.”
He tentatively looked up at Xie Zhiyan and said, "Chief Xie, your family is always so harmonious. Is there some secret to it? Could you share it with me?"
He was trapped in it, especially by Li Qingqing's attitude.
Xie Zhiyan originally wanted to go home as soon as possible, as he had already spent a long time at work today. However, another unexpected person appeared out of nowhere, so he could only patiently help Duan Huaichuan analyze the situation.
"You should always look for the reasons within yourself. She gave birth to your child. A woman goes through the ordeal of childbirth, and you became a father for no reason. Why would a woman be cold towards you? Don't you know the answer in your heart?"
Although Xie Zhiyan wasn't entirely clear about what Duan Huaichuan had done, he had learned a thing or two from Shu Ying's words.
No woman wants to share her husband with another person, even if it's to repay a debt of gratitude. But Duan Huaichuan clearly had a better choice, yet he chose to do something that would hurt Li Qingqing.
Xie Zhiyan, standing next to Duan Huaichuan, subtly hinted at something. He took a deep breath and looked in the direction of his home. "But I had no choice but to do this. Originally, we didn't have any feelings for each other, but I gradually realized that I had to take on the responsibility of a man. Now I just want to experience this kind of relationship with her, but he is always bothered by Yun'er. We are really innocent, otherwise how could it be my turn to marry her?"
Xie Zhiyan stared at him in disbelief. How could anyone say such a thing to their wife?
"Marriage is something we can't control. But as a person, you have to be true to your conscience. If you marry someone, you have to be responsible for her. If you have one person in your heart and another person by your side, it's not fair to either woman. Sometimes, to balance family and work, you have to put in more effort."
Duan Huaichuan looked down at his feet. He understood Xie Zhiyan's words, but he was already very busy with work. He had to stay by Zhong Yun'er's side and also take time to come back to be with Li Qingqing and the child. Where did he have so much energy?
"But if she had trusted me more, none of this trouble would have happened. Why is she always unwilling to trust me?"
"Is it that people don't want to believe you, or have you gradually exhausted all the trust they have in you over the years? It's important for people to have self-awareness. If you can't even distinguish these basic things, then if you're just venting to me today, then our conversation is meaningless."
Xie Zhiyan interrupted Duan Huaichuan before he could finish speaking.
Duan Huaichuan was stunned.
“I do regret my attitude towards him back then. I was indeed a bit cold. But I also promised Lao Zhou that he sacrificed himself to save me, and I would treat his child as my own. I can't be an ungrateful person, can I?”
