Although the vulgar wedding pranks greatly diminished Xiao Yilin's long-awaited bridesmaid experience and even added some unpleasantness.

But she didn't want these upsetting things to wear each other down, so she quickly adjusted her mindset and put those complicated and annoying moments behind her.

On the two nights before returning to Shanghai, in the quiet room, an orange table lamp cast a warm and tender glow, projecting the intertwined shadows of the two onto the wall, creating an atmosphere of intense and ambiguous intimacy throughout the room.

Xiao Yilin ended her long, passionate kiss with Yu Chenzhou, gently pressed her fingertips against his chest, slowly broke free from his embrace, then bent down and hooked the buttons on his shirt collar, slowly unbuttoning two to reveal the delicate skin on his neck.

She turned and moved to the open space beside the bed. The white shirt she was wearing, belonging to Yu Chenzhou, was excessively large, with the hem barely covering her upper thighs.

His fair and slender legs were partially revealed with each gentle movement, and he danced a sweet and alluring dance to a silent rhythm.

When she twists her hips, her waist traces a soft, boneless arc, and as she spins, the hem of her clothes rises gently, revealing her smooth calves and slender, delicate ankles.

Her fingertips slid slowly down the collar of her shirt, brushing against the skin of her collarbone. When she looked up, her gaze was fixed on Yu Chenzhou, a faint smile playing at the corners of her eyes, carrying a hint of allure that she was unaware of.

Every movement she made precisely stirred his heartstrings, making it impossible for him to take his eyes off her for even a moment.

As she danced to her heart's content, she lightly leaped into Yu Chenzhou's arms, hooking her arms around his neck and offering him a kiss.

With a touch of playful probing, her tongue traced the shape of his lips, kissing him softly and sweetly, full of dependence and love.

Yu Chenzhou was aroused by this gentle advance, and reached out to hold her waist tightly, wanting to deepen the kiss.

She slyly stepped back half an inch, her fingertips gently caressing his lips, which were reddened from the kiss, her eyes filled with coquettishness and subtle provocation.

She just watched him quietly, seeing the emotions in his eyes gradually surge and intensify until he could no longer hold back.

Only then did she smile and shake her head, her tone brimming with barely concealed joy, mixed with a hint of mischievous glee:

"Honey, I have good news for you—my period is skipped this month."

Yu Chenzhou froze on the spot, the heat in his eyes instantly fading, replaced by a startled and bewildered expression, as if he hadn't quite understood the meaning of those words.

The next second, ecstasy and trepidation intertwined and surged in his heart, spreading through his blood to every part of his body.

In the instant he realized what was happening, he no longer had time to complain about Xiao Yilin deliberately teasing him.

He almost staggered to his feet, his movements a mix of panic and urgency as he rummaged through his suitcase to retrieve a pregnancy test he had prepared beforehand.

Since the proposal, the two decided to have a child and stopped using contraception. The thoughtful Xiao Yilin had already prepared several pregnancy tests at home, which came in handy at this moment.

Xiao Yilin took the pregnancy test, her fingertips trembling slightly, a mixture of joy and nervousness.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the pounding in her heart, and followed the instructions step by step to complete the procedure, then placed the pregnancy test aside to rest.

The two stood side by side, staring intently at the small pregnancy test. The air seemed to freeze instantly, and even the sound of the wind outside the window became clearly audible.

Every second of waiting felt like an eternity, and they breathed cautiously, afraid of disturbing this hard-won anticipation.

As two clear red lines slowly appeared on the test strip, becoming increasingly vivid, the two of them held their breath in unison, and everything around them seemed to fall silent.

A moment later, Yu Chenzhou suddenly pulled her tightly into his arms, the force so great it seemed he wanted to meld her into his very bones. His chin rested lightly on the top of her head, his voice filled with barely suppressed ecstasy and barely contained excitement:

"We're having a baby, Linlin, it's true!"

Xiao Yilin nestled in his warm embrace and replied with a smile:

"Yes, we're having a baby, honey."

Yu Chenzhou lowered his head, his voice gentle, and said with heartfelt gratitude and solemnity, "Thank you, Linlin, for giving me the most precious gift."

"No, honey, it's a gift for us!"

"Yes, ours."

After saying that, the two hugged each other tightly again.

This sudden joy was like a warm fire, keeping the two of them awake all night, their eyes filled with longing and anticipation for the future.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking and the sky was still faintly tinged with the pale light of dawn, Yu Chenzhou got up, carefully put away his household registration book and ID card, and then carefully told Xiao Yilin to keep warm before taking her hand and rushing to the hospital.

During the wait for the blood hCG test, he held her hand tightly, his fingertips repeatedly stroking her knuckles, soothing her in a low, gentle voice:

"Don't worry, our baby is very good and will be fine."

The gentle words were like a warm current, dispelling the slight tension and unease in her heart.

When the doctor smiled and told him, "You are three to four weeks pregnant, the embryo is developing stably, and the pregnant woman is in very good health," Yu Chenzhou instantly breathed a sigh of relief. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down, and his gaze as he looked down at Xiao Yilin was so tender it could melt your heart.

He raised his hand and gently stroked her flat stomach, his movements filled with tender care, and whispered:

"You'll have to work hard from now on."

As they left the hospital, the warm sunshine fell upon them, its gentle warmth dispelling the morning chill.

Xiao Yilin looked up at him with a smile, her eyes sparkling with an unconcealable sweetness, clear and bright.

Yu Chenzhou understood immediately, took her hand tightly, and drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

While taking the photo, he noticed the stray hairs on her forehead that had been blown about by the wind. He quietly reached out and tidied them for her, his fingertips brushing against her cheek with a slightly cool touch.

Xiao Yilin pressed herself even closer to him, her lips curving into a bright smile, her eyes sparkling. She gently took his arm, her fingertips playfully tickling his sleeve, exuding a charming and adorable aura.

The moment they received their marriage certificate, they both reached out to take it. The instant their fingertips touched, Yu Chenzhou grabbed her hand tightly, the warmth of his palm transferring to her, and he never let go.

As we walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the sunlight shone brightly, making the red marriage certificate particularly dazzling.

After getting into the car, he gently stacked the two marriage certificates together and carefully placed them on his lap. Then, he lowered his head and pressed a tender, lingering kiss to the corner of her blushing lips. His voice was soft, but filled with heartfelt solemnity, and it clearly reached her ears:

"Ms. Xiao, from now on you will be my Mrs. Yu."

As Xiao Yilin tilted her head back to kiss him, the smile in her eyes almost overflowed. From that moment on, their lives would be bound together, never to be separated again.

When Yu Chenzhou's parents learned that their daughter-in-law was pregnant, they were overjoyed. Their smiles never faded. They immediately busied themselves serving up carefully prepared nourishing soups and cooking various delicious dishes for Xiao Yilin.

At the dinner table, the two elderly people kept asking the couple about their wedding plans, their voices full of anticipation.

Yu Chenzhou first picked up a piece of steamed fish, Xiao Yilin's favorite dish, before turning to look at her gentle-looking face beside him. After a few words of discussion, they decided to hold the wedding in December.

While Xiao Yilin's belly is still small and she is still able to move around easily, the ceremony can be completed in a dignified manner, while also minimizing her travel and fatigue.

After the wedding arrangements were finalized, Xiao Yilin missed her parents, who were far away in Shanghai, even more. Her longing for them grew stronger, and she eagerly anticipated returning home to share the double joy of getting their marriage certificate and her pregnancy with them, so that the two elderly people could also share in this happiness.

Because of Xiao Yilin's pregnancy, the two stayed in Yu Chenzhou's hometown until the end of the National Day holiday. It wasn't until October 10th that they packed their bags and set off together to return to Shanghai.

The carriage was warm and cozy, and the scenery outside the window slowly receded into the distance.

Xiao Yilin leaned back in the passenger seat, her fingertips repeatedly tracing the photo of the two of them together on their marriage certificate, her eyes full of smiles. Suddenly, she straightened up with a beaming smile.

She took out her pregnancy test report from her bag, carefully laid the marriage certificate and the report side by side on her lap, adjusted the angle with her phone, and took this meaningful photo. Then she quickly typed out a playful and happy caption:

"The eldest daughter of the Xiao family has a husband! The eldest daughter of the Xiao family is going to be a mother!"

The moment she pressed the send button, she gently stroked her still flat stomach, her eyes filled with anticipation and love for the little life inside.

For Xiao Yilin, this trip back to Yu Chenzhou's hometown was filled with happiness and fulfillment, leaving her with no regrets.

The greatest reward is not only the marriage certificate with my beloved, but also the little life quietly sprouting in my womb, full of boundless hope.

When they arrived, she walked side by side with him, heading towards a tender moment hidden in the fireworks;

On the return trip, they found a little baby with them, and the family of three was filled with happiness and anticipation throughout the journey.
