Even though Lin Xinyuan insisted she could go alone, Qin Nanfeng still set aside his work and accompanied her to the hospital.
Sure enough, after a series of tests, her condition was clear: she was three weeks pregnant.
After receiving the doctor’s instructions, the two of them walked out of the hospital.
As she walked, holding the pregnancy test report, Lin Xinyuan couldn’t help touching her lower abdomen.
Although there was no visible curve now, she still felt as if a tiny life was throbbing inside her belly, matching the rhythm of her heartbeat.
Gradually, aside from nervousness and panic, a hint of tenderness involuntarily crept into her eyes.
Seeing the girl like this, Qin Nanfeng’s eyes briefly showed a daze, then darkened, but quickly faded away.
“Feng Ge… do you think he… will be a boy or a girl…” Lin Xinyuan couldn’t help murmuring, lifting her head to look at Qin Nanfeng with sparkling eyes.
She eagerly awaited his answer. This was also the question she had been looking forward to.
‘If I give birth to a little girl… will Feng Ge be unhappy…’
Her mood inevitably dropped at the thought, but she tried to act as if nothing was wrong. Yet her conflicted gaze still betrayed her current emotions.
“A girl. I don’t like boys.” As if thinking of something, Qin Nanfeng’s eyes flickered, and he pinched her little cheek, his tone full of teasing. “I still like Little Xiaoyuan; she will definitely be just as cute.”
Hearing this, Lin Xinyuan’s face instantly flushed red, but immediately she felt a bit annoyed, and couldn’t help muttering, “No way… I want a boy…”
Although the child wasn’t born yet and its gender wasn’t certain, she already found herself complaining about the “daughter” she had never met.
‘What does it matter if I give birth to a girl? Feng Ge is still mine—I can’t let her snatch him away…’
Seeing Lin Xinyuan’s puffed-up little face, Qin Nanfeng felt both amused and helpless.
‘This girl… the child isn’t even born yet, and she’s already jealous…’
‘But… I really do like Little Xiaoyuan like this.’
‘A Xiaoyuan who loves being jealous and blushing—too adorable.’
“Then no, I want a daughter.”
“No way, no way! I’m the one giving birth, so I decide!” Hearing his words, Lin Xinyuan became even angrier, directly retorting like a child, puffing out her fair little face.
The two of them bickered, arguing over the unborn child’s unknown gender, which ended with Lin Xinyuan’s victory.
Of course, mainly because the other person was indulging her…
The pregnancy news was confirmed, but Lin Xinyuan decided to wait a while before telling her mom and Qin Nanfeng’s mother, to avoid being nagged.
She wanted a few more peaceful days.
Qin Nanfeng didn’t say much about this, but he still asked her to avoid cooking as much as possible, or at least wear a mask in the kitchen, and to reduce screen time.
At first, Lin Xinyuan was unwilling, but after watching related videos and seeing it could affect the baby, she obediently complied.
In the following two days, during their free time, the girl was taken by the young man to the Civil Affairs Bureau with their ID cards.
When the two marriage certificates—with red-background photos and official seals—appeared in Lin Xinyuan’s hands, no matter how much she tried to restrain herself, she couldn’t control the curve of her lips, breaking into a happy smile.
Looking at the photo of the two of them in white shirts—the man handsome and refined, the girl beautiful and charming—both with unrestrained smiles on their faces, the joy in her heart was unstoppable.
‘I finally married Feng Ge! How wonderful…’
Lin Xinyuan repeated this sentence in her mind over and over, feeling dazed, as if floating in an unreal lightness.
‘From now on, I can be with Feng Ge forever!’
‘Never apart…’
“Xiaoyuan, look ahead.”
Just as she was still lost in thought, Qin Nanfeng suddenly called out to her.
“Ah?”
Lin Xinyuan was startled, dazedly lifting her little head to look ahead, thinking something had happened.
But when she looked up, she immediately saw the two of them reflected in her phone screen.
With a “click,” the image was instantly frozen.
Confused, she tilted her head and looked at Qin Nanfeng, only to see him take one of the marriage certificates from her hand with his big hand, smiling as he waved it: “Take a photo?”
Lin Xinyuan immediately understood what he meant. Her face flushed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded: “Mm…”
Another crisp sound—a photo was taken of two hands, one big and one small, each holding a red booklet.
Sitting in the car, as they counted down together,
Under the girl’s fluttering heart, the two of them simultaneously posted the same status on Green Bubble.
“From now on, it’s you.”

……
The black Audi sped down the road, heading home.
Lin Xinyuan sat in the co-pilot seat, scrolling through the various comments under her social media post.
Seeing the blessings from friends and family, she felt a warm glow in her heart despite her shyness.
She patiently replied to each one, sometimes blushing, sometimes wanting to laugh, her expressions vivid.
Her apricot eyes curved, revealing sweet dimples.
At this moment, the girl’s happiness from the inside out was impossible to hide.
Having escaped the quagmire, she showed a beauty completely different from her former gloomy self.
The young man observed this touching scene through the rearview mirror, a faint smile on his lips and tenderness in his eyes.
Only deep within that expression hid a hint of complexity and darkness, barely perceptible…
