Zhao Menglei and I got married after the new house was decorated.
I did not notify anyone in the department to attend our wedding because she and I had no intention of holding a ceremony at all. I came up with the idea of not holding a ceremony because I felt that she had been married once before and there was no need to make a big deal about it.
.
Of course, she has no different opinions.
I told my parents about my marriage on the phone. It was my mother who answered the phone. She knew Zhao Menglei because she went to parent-teacher conferences many times in middle school and knew that there was a beautiful female classmate in our class named
Zhao Menglei. The county town is not big to begin with. After knowing whose child Zhao Menglei was, her mother knew what she looked like.
My mother was extremely excited on the phone, "Okay, okay, just get married." [
I didn't tell her that Zhao Menglei had been married.
After a while, my father answered the phone and asked, "Has she been single for so many years?" my father asked me.
"No, her lover passed away." I had no choice but to tell the truth, feeling happy in my heart. Of course I didn't think it was revenge, but I knew that I was still rebellious to this day.
My father hung up the phone without saying a word. I felt lost.
The first person in the department to know about my marriage was Zhuang Qing, because she suddenly asked to introduce me to a girlfriend recently. "I'm already married, why should I introduce a girlfriend?" I smiled bitterly at her.
She looked at me in surprise, then smiled and said, "Congratulations."
I looked at her, "What about you? How are you? Are you and your boyfriend okay?"
"Very good," she said.
I think it’s really hard for little girls nowadays to understand.
Since the last incident, she has completely returned to the warm yet distant relationship between colleagues in front of me, as if what happened that day had never happened. From this, I completely believe in her actions that day.
Just to get revenge on her boyfriend, or for psychological balance.
I think her mentality is not normal. However, I know that I cannot be the same as her. At least deep down in my heart, I still regard her as my own woman. I don’t need to keep her forever, but after all, we once had her.
That's how it feels.
Therefore, I think I am still relatively traditional. Although I cannot completely control myself in terms of behavior, I know my heart well.
In fact, I know she also has me in her heart, otherwise why would she introduce me to my girlfriend?
There's one thing I didn't expect.
The day after Zhao Menglei and I applied for our marriage certificate, the captain of the criminal police detachment named Qian Zhan came to find me.
"Dr. Feng, congratulations." He invited me to a teahouse outside the hospital. As soon as I sat down, he congratulated me with a smile.
I was surprised, "How did you know?"
"I'm a policeman, of course I know." He smiled lightly.
"You have been investigating me, us?" I suddenly became unhappy.[
"Don't get me wrong," he said, "I am handling Zhao Menglei's case, and I still haven't figured out some issues until now. So it's normal to check in on your situation regularly."
"Isn't the case closed? Are you still doubting us? You know very well what happened that day. Zhao Menglei and I were not at the scene at all." I said, with an angry look on my face.
"Yes. I didn't doubt you? Haha! I just heard that you got married, so I came here to congratulate you." He said with a smile.
He said that I had nothing to say, but I had no interest in continuing the conversation with him. "Officer Qian, I'm still at work, so I'll leave first."
"Okay." He said with a smile, "Do you have my phone number? If you have anything, you can contact me at any time."
"If there is a chance that I witness a murder, I will contact you immediately." I said, then threw a hundred yuan into the waiter's hand and turned around to leave.
I didn't tell Zhao Menglei about this because I didn't want to make her unhappy. But I deleted Qian Zhan's number on the way back to the department.
Married life is happy, and I truly feel the warmth of family. When I wake up in the morning, I have hot milk and bread, and she comes home to cook for me at noon. After dinner, we go for a walk together, and occasionally go to the movies.
Something like that. We lived a very warm life, and I believe most families should be like this. Now, she and I no longer pursue romance and just want a normal life.
However, I discovered a problem.
Six months later, she still showed no signs of pregnancy.
