Chapter 34: The Child Can't Be Mine

Regarding the child in Wenwen's womb and what she was going to say today, although I had rehearsed all kinds of possibilities in my head, I almost shouted "Are you crazy?" when it really happened.

After all, I couldn't tell if this surprise was worried about Wenwen or for myself, so I swallowed back the words that came to my throat and tried to use a calm tone to hide my inner apprehension: "You know who the child is, right?"

"What do you think?" Wenwen squinted at me.

"You are an unmarried girl, and if you don't even know who the father of the child is, what should you do when you give birth to the child?" I felt suffocated halfway through these words, and remembered what she asked me before turning around and entering the community after returning from Lingang.

Wenwen frowned tightly and looked at me as if she didn't know me: "Do you have to tell me with a belly and go around that I am pregnant with your child that you admit it?"

What should have come is still coming.

But how did this kid come about?

From Wenwen's point of view, there was no doubt that the child in her womb was mine, because she knew best if she had sex with other men, and I was probably the only man who had slept with her.

Although I can't deny the fact of that tooth mark, it is clear in my heart that I really did not go to her that night, let alone have such intimate acts with her as she said.

"I don't want to say you're wrong, but I never went to your place that night, really, I swear I'd die if I lied. ”

"Do you not want to admit it or don't you dare to admit it?" Wenwen was much calmer than I was, looking at me with puzzled and even sympathetic eyes.

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course! The difference is big, there is a qualitative difference. ”

"It's not that I don't want to or dare, if it's really my child, what do you think I don't dare, I'm single and you're not married, aren't there people all over the street who marry my son? But that's not the problem now!"

"Can I understand it this way, if it can be proved that the person who made love to me that night was you, and this child is yours, you would consider marrying me?" Wenwen was very serious when she said this, and her eyes looked extraordinarily bright.

Based on such an assumption, coupled with Wenwen's expectant eyes, I shook my head instead of nodding my head.

It's just that Wenwen's firmness and self-confidence almost collapsed my psychological defense.

"I think there's definitely something strange about it. But the baby in your womb may not be able to wait for us to get things thoroughly figured out before it should be born. Think about it, if you give birth to a child, in case in the end, I mean what if, you find out that there is really someone else, for example, someone is pretending to be me, how do you say you will deal with it, what will you do in the future, is it really a person living alone with a child who doesn't even know who the father is? ”

"First of all, I don't think the 'what if' you said is going to happen, and secondly, I must have had a lot more to give birth to a child than you think. Wenwen remained calm.

"Of course, I'm just suggesting that you insist on giving birth to a child, and I have nothing to object to. "I don't care about the tone that always sounds like I'm shaking.

After being silent for a while, Wenwen asked me, "Do you really plan to spend the rest of your life guarding your wife's portrait?"

Not again!

"I didn't say that, my wife died early, I just feel that I owe my wife too much, and I can't get over this hurdle in my heart, wait for me to find ......"

"What are you looking for?" Wenwen took advantage of my hesitation and immediately took over curiously.

"I mean, if my wife asks someone to dream of starting a family as soon as possible, I'll still listen to her. ”

Wenwen made no secret of her disappointed expression.

"I didn't expect you, a person with modern higher education, to believe these nonsense. What if your wife is not so enlightened and says she doesn't agree with you to marry again?"

"I won't do anything that makes my wife sad anymore, and I will obey her whatever she asks me to do. ”

Wenwen stirred the coffee in the cup twice unhurriedly: "Fortunately, people and ghosts can't interact, otherwise the world wouldn't be a mess." ”

I managed to squeeze out a smile, and then we were silent for a few moments.

"If you decide to remarry in the end, between me and Xinya, who will you choose to go with?" Wenwen broke the silence with this huge difficult question.

I'm a little irritable, the same question Xinya has asked half-truths before.

Wenwen helped me a lot in the first two years of my wife's death when my daughter was still young, and so did at work, and then stubbornly unrequited love until now I became an older leftover girl, to be honest, I look distressed and blame myself, if I can really let go of my wife and marry a woman, Wenwen may not be a very worthy choice.

But I don't have the idea of remarrying yet, and I can't let go of my wife's departure yet.

In fact, as early as after understanding Wenwen's infatuation, I once asked her to express my attitude in a small talk, and even made it clear that I would probably not marry again for the rest of my life, but she has been so stubbornly waiting there, silently watching my every move.

"I really haven't thought about it, you don't think about it when I get married, how can I think about who to choose?"

"So, as far as Xinya and me are concerned, I still have a 50% chance?" Wenwen actually smiled, smiling very comfortably.

I smiled bitterly: "I'm such an unpopular person, how can I be worthy of you like this?"

======

When I met with Wenwen, except that Wenwen decided that the child in her womb was mine and intended to give birth to the child, she didn't talk about a reason, neither reached any consensus nor made any decisions.

When they broke up, Wenwen said that she would go back and think about the child's affairs.

When I got home, Xinya brought me a plate of cut watermelon and put it on the coffee table in front of me, and asked curiously, "Did Wenwen tell you who the child in her belly is?"

"No, no. "I quickly picked up two slices of watermelon at a time and stuffed them into my mouth, making it very difficult for me to speak.

"And what did she say to you?"

I pretended to be very concerned about what was on the TV, and when I went to fork the watermelon, my eyes were still glued to the TV screen, and of course I didn't hear Xinya's question at all.

"What about you?"

"What?" I turned to look at Xinya.

"I said Wenwen talked to you all afternoon, what did you say?" Xinya's tone was of course full of dissatisfaction with my lack of concentration.

I want to talk about work, but this lie is obviously a bit disregard for the facts, and talking about things outside of work is afraid that it will attract more rights and wrongs, so in the end, let's face the reality.

"I mainly talked about the children, and I talked about it for a while. ”

"Does she have a boyfriend or not? I don't know who the child is, can't it?"

"It's not that she doesn't know, it's that she won't tell me. ”

"And is she going to give birth to the baby or ......?"

I don't know if it's because women are born to ask questions, or if it's because I'm hard to answer because I think there are too many questions.

"I'm not her, who knows what she thinks, she said she didn't think about it. ”

Xinya obviously saw that I was a little impatient, and smiled slyly: "Forget it, don't ask you, I'll ask her to go to work on Monday." ”

Now it's my turn to be calm.
