Liu Ming's passionate pursuit of Dr. Shen was not diminished by her refusal, and he continued to pester Dr. Shen, hoping to marry her. However, Dr. Shen has no love for Liu Ming, and although she has repeatedly expressed her attitude sharply, she has not been able to stop Liu Ming's stubborn fighting, and even brought trouble to her daily life.
When Ma Kui learned about this, he decided to come forward. He intercepted Liu Ming on the way, and sternly warned the other party as Dr. Shen's "big brother" that if he continued to harass him, he would definitely take tough measures. originally thought that this move would be enough for Liu Ming to retreat, but he quickly made a comeback like a tenacious cockroach and continued to follow Dr. Shen. This time, Ma Kui chose a more direct way, declaring that he was Dr. Shen's lover and holding hands with her in public, thus completely shattering Liu Ming's illusions.
In fact, Ma Kui has long had feelings for Dr. Shen. When Wang Sufen was leaving, he hinted and clearly suggested that Ma Kui should treat Dr. Shen well, because Dr. Shen also had deep feelings for him and did not want this feeling to be disappointed. Since Wang Sufen left, Dr. Shen has been like a member of the Ma family, taking care of Ma Jian every day, taking care of housework, and even sharing a bed with Ma Kui, winning Ma Yan's trust and often confiding in his heart. And Ma Kui has repeatedly defended Dr. Shen and treated him like family, and the four of them jointly built a harmonious and warm family atmosphere.
Although they have not officially entered the marriage hall and have not publicly expressed their hearts for each other, their relationship has transcended the boundaries of relatives and reached the level of heart-to-heart, only a layer of window paper has not been pierced. Liu Ming's appearance happened to give Ma Kui an opportunity to bravely confess his desire to marry Dr. Shen, and Dr. Shen also confessed his inner feelings. originally thought that the two would be able to grow old together, but unfortunately, an accident broke this beautiful vision, and Dr. Shen finally chose to leave Ma Kui.
Looking back, I have been speculating about why a woman like Dr. Shen has never been married for 40 years. Dr. Shen is gentle and virtuous, able to write and martial arts, can not only show elegance in the public, but also show her talent in cooking and sewing, healing and saving people in daily life, she is really a rare good woman. In those days, people who did not marry often did so because of problems with themselves or their families. At first, I thought that Dr. Shen might be due to personal reasons, such as having a crush on Ma Kui, and after Ma Kui got married, she stuck to the love in her heart and was unwilling to settle, so she was not married for a long time.
Perhaps Dr. Shen had suffered from male injuries, which made her lose confidence in marriage and love and chose to live a single life. However, Ma Kui's release from prison many years later seems to have rekindled the emotional fire in her heart, allowing her to regain the ability to love.
It wasn't until an old man appeared in Dr. Shen's house that I suddenly realized that my previous guesses were wrong. It turned out that the reason why Dr. Shen was unmarried was because of family reasons. Her father had been imprisoned for a mistake, a secret that made her deeply fearful and uneasy about her marriage.
It is precisely because of the pain and grievances of her father that Dr. Shen cares for Ma Yan and Wang Sufen very much, and she hopes that through her own efforts, Ma Yan will be less harmed. Over the years, Dr. Shen has given a lot of help to the Ma family openly and secretly, which has greatly improved the lives of Ma Yan and Wang Sufen.
His father's imprisonment experience brought a huge psychological shadow to the young Dr. Shen. Like Ma Yan, she was also forced to endure the humiliation and grievances of others. At school and in the workplace, she suffered endless pain and suffering. Therefore, she didn't dare to get married or fall in love, and her inferiority complex made her afraid that she would be known to be the daughter of the ** criminal.
Dr. Shen has always lived alone, never visited by relatives, never mentioned family or returned home. She chose to settle in the railway compound and stayed there for decades. Here, she is able to be herself freely, away from the exclusion and discrimination of the outside world.
Although she has a deep affection for Ma Kui, she does not dare to confess. When Ma Kui confessed to her, she did not feel happy, but fell into distress. The reason was because her father, who had been released from prison, was about to return. No matter what era it is, people around you who are in prison will be discriminated against by society.
Dr. Shen silently picked up his father and hid him, not daring to let the outside world know the secret. Her inner struggles and contradictions are deeply sympathetic. However, fate doesn't seem to favor her, and an accident puts her life in trouble again. This time, will she be able to bravely face the challenge, step out of her inner shadow, and spend the rest of her life with Ma Kui? It's still a cliffhanger.
