Since there were not many people coming to get their marriage certificates today, the two of them were not in a hurry and slowly lined up and waited.

While waiting, both of them were actually feeling a surge of anxiety, but their faces showed no signs of emotion at all, appearing remarkably calm. They remained remarkably composed until a staff member came to greet them.

"Marriage examination is voluntary. The whole set of examinations may take quite a while. If you don't need it, you don't need to fill out the form." The staff member explained patiently.

"We need it." Su Zeqi felt that getting married was a very important matter, and all the procedures had to be followed.

So, the two of them took the marriage examination form and went to the designated hospital for examination together.

The entire process took almost an afternoon. The two of them rushed and finally got the marriage examination report before the Civil Affairs Bureau closed.

At this moment, the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau was thinking that there were not many people who underwent marriage examinations, and the two of them were celebrities in Beijing, so they were quite excited to be able to apply for a marriage certificate for them.

But after waiting for a long time, it was already time to get off work, but the two still didn't show up.

"You should have received the report, why haven't you come to get the certificate yet?" the staff member asked puzzledly.

"Maybe they didn't get the report, or they were delayed on the road. It's the evening rush hour now, and the traffic must be very congested." Another staff member analyzed.

"What a pity! I originally thought that their marriage certificate could be issued by me." The staff member couldn't help but sigh.

The situation on Su Zeqi and Huo Jianqiu's side was not too good either.

Huo Jianqiu sat quietly in the hospital lobby, clutching her marriage medical report tightly, her head bowed. Her mood was particularly complicated. Just then, she heard familiar footsteps. She slowly raised her head and looked at Su Zeqi. He was holding a bag with a pharmacy logo clearly printed on the outside.

"Go test it again." Su Zeqi walked up to her, took her hand, helped her stand up, and then followed the signs to the bathroom.

Arriving at the bathroom door, Huo Jianqiu took the bag from Su Zeqi's hand in a trance and walked into the bathroom. Su Zeqi was holding her marriage examination report, and his mood was also very complicated.

The doctor's words kept echoing in his mind...

Congratulations.

Congratulations……

When they heard this, they were both a little confused. It was just an ordinary premarital checkup, how could there be a "congratulations"? So Su Zeqi subconsciously replied: "Thank you, doctor."

"You two should have told us about your pregnancy in advance. Fortunately, we didn't take X-rays, otherwise it might have affected the baby..." said the doctor with a smile.

You know, a marriage checkup is a matter between two people. It is impossible for the doctor to conceal the problem for one party when he finds it. Naturally, if there is anything, he should speak out frankly.

After hearing what the doctor said, the two were stunned for a moment!

What the hell? This is unbelievable!

"Doctor..." Huo Jianqiu's voice was trembling. She spoke with difficulty, "You said I..."

"Your blood HCG level is very high. Blood tests are more accurate than other testing methods and are infallible."

Generally speaking, regular marriage checkups do not include blood tests such as HCG, but this hospital tests more items.

"Don't you know yet?" the doctor looked up at the young parents and said.

Just a few minutes ago, Su Zeqi was still thinking that the timing was just right so he could rush back to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate. However, the bombshell news at this moment was like a heavy hammer, hitting them both hard and making him feel a little dizzy.

Su Zeqi, who was always known for his ability to remain calm even under pressure, now had a crack on his face that was difficult to conceal.

The doctor looked at the two people and said nothing more. He just told them that pregnancy would not affect the marriage certificate. If they were worried, they could buy an early pregnancy test and take another test.

Huo Jianqiu was in the bathroom, clutching the box tightly, a complex mix of emotions swirling within her. She knew the outcome was already decided, and whether or not to test it was no longer relevant. She hadn't expected it to happen so suddenly, leaving her completely bewildered.

Su Zeqi stood at the door of the ladies' restroom, sweat oozing from his palms, and his heart was filled with tension and panic.

About five or six minutes later, Huo Jianqiu slowly walked out of the bathroom, and the things in the bag were still intact.

"No test?" Su Zeqi looked at her and asked softly.

"No need." Huo Jianqiu shook her head slightly. She had already used her mobile phone to look up a lot of relevant information on the Internet and knew in her heart that this was an indisputable fact.

"Unhappy?" Su Zeqi looked at her expression carefully and found that she was frowning.

"Not really... I just feel that everything happened too suddenly." Huo Jianqiu frowned slightly, with a trace of confusion and helplessness on his face.

Su Zeqi and Huo Jianqiu looked at each other quietly. For a moment, that absurd night appeared in their minds.

That day, Su Zeqi came back from a business trip. They were so excited and passionate after a short separation that they were indeed a little crazy... Later, it seemed that they forgot to take any measures because they were too involved.

At this moment, Su Zeqi's phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Madam Su calling, so he quickly picked up the phone.

"Zeqi, when will you come over?" Mrs. Su's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I understand. I'll be right back." After hanging up the phone, Su Zeqi turned around and looked at Huo Jianqiu affectionately. He placed one hand gently on her abdomen, a happy smile on his face, and said, "I'm very happy. We are going to have our own child."

Huo Jianqiu also responded with a smile: "Me too, this is really an unexpected surprise."

*

Su Zeqi held Huo Jianqiu's hand tightly as they walked into the Su family mansion. Perhaps the air from the air conditioner was too cool, Su Zeqi tilted his head slightly and asked her with concern, "Are you cold?"

"It's okay." Huo Jianqiu shook her head gently. She really didn't have any special feelings about the pregnancy. After all, it had only been more than ten days, and she didn't think she was that fragile. "Why don't you tell everyone later? I'm not mentally prepared yet..."

"What about my parents..." Su Zeqi frowned slightly and said with some concern.

"I'll talk to them." Huo Jianqiu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"I'll listen to you." Su Zeqi nodded with a gentle smile on his face.

At this moment, the two walked into the hall together, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Su Banxia, ​​naturally the leader, looked at them curiously, "Brother and sister-in-law, are you two going on a date today? You're so late..."

"Brother, you came too late. You must drink three cups as punishment later!" Su Jingmo smiled.

"That's right, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time!" Su Banxia agreed with a smile.

"Okay, stop interrupting! Zeqi, Jianqiu, please sit down and eat." Yu Wantong said with a smile, her eyes full of concern and love.

Amidst the noise of the crowd, Su Zeqi and Huo Jianqiu slowly took their seats. Since Su Zeqi wanted to drink, Su Jingmo pulled him to the other side, while Huo Jianqiu was arranged to sit between Yu Wantong and Qu Qingdai.

When Su Zeqi was pulled away, he looked at Huo Jianqiu helplessly. Huo Jianqiu smiled and nodded to him, indicating that it was okay.

Yu Wantong affectionately took Huo Jianqiu's hand, helping her sit more comfortably, a warm smile on her face. Qu Qingdai watched all this with a gentle smile in her eyes.

"Where did you and your brother go today? Did you go to take wedding photos?" Qu Qingdai gently nudged Huo Jianqiu with her arm, and asked with a smile, with a bit of curiosity and anticipation on her face.

"No." Huo Jianqiu looked calm, shook his head slightly, and replied softly.

"Oh, so you're dressed like this, are you just going on a date?" Qu Qingdai raised her eyebrows slightly and continued to ask.

"That's about right." Huo Jianqiu pursed her lips and said with the same indifferent look.

"Hahaha, Jianqiu really doesn't want to tell everyone? This is such a happy event." Yu Wantong listened to their conversation with a warm smile on her face, her eyes narrowed into slits.

"What? I want to hear it too!" Su Banxia came over and said to Huo Jianqiu with a gossipy look on her face.

Qu Qingdai looked at Huo Jianqiu expectantly, her eyes gleaming with curiosity. Huo Jianqiu smiled helplessly at the sight of them both, a faint blush spreading across her face.

"Hahahaha... This is indeed good news. Wantong, you can announce it for them." Old Madam Su smiled happily, and the wrinkles on her face smoothed out.

"Okay, then let me..." Yu Wantong was about to speak with a smile on her face.

"Grandma, Mom..." Huo Jianqiu seemed to have anticipated what Yu Wantong was going to say. With a hint of anxiety on her face, she tried to stop her, "Stop talking for now, let's eat."

"What? Are you still shy?" Old Madam Su looked at Huo Jianqiu's anxious look and couldn't help but find it amusing. She smiled and teased, "After all, you are a girl, thin-skinned, and you know how to be shy."

After hearing what Old Lady Su said, Huo Jianqiu's face flushed, her eyes flickered, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

"No, everyone has been waiting for so long, Daidai and Xia Xia must be hungry." Huo Jianqiu said as he winked at the two of them, his eyes full of anxiety.

Su Banxia looked innocent, blinked her eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm not hungry yet."

"Me too!" Qu Qingdai said with a gleam in her eyes and a smile on her lips.

Huo Jianqiu looked at the two people's reactions and sighed helplessly. She had no choice but to keep winking at the other party, Su Zeqi.

But Su Zeqi was also in a dilemma. He looked at his mother and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. He couldn't just go up and cover her mouth and drag her away. If he did that, his father who was sitting next to him would definitely beat him.

"Hey, look at what these two children are doing? Why are they exchanging glances?" Old Lady Su teased with a smile on her face and loving eyes.

At this time, Yu Wantong also smiled and said, "These two kids are probably used to keeping a low profile and are embarrassed to talk about their affairs in front of others. However, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you a good news. They've already gone to get their marriage certificate today!"

As soon as Yu Wantong finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the restaurant. For a moment, everyone seemed a little unresponsive.

After a while, Su Banxia opened her eyes wide, opened her mouth, and looked surprised. There was a look of surprise and a sense of sudden enlightenment on her face.

"This is great news! We should definitely celebrate!" Qu Qingdai was the first to react. With a delighted smile on her face and sparkling eyes, she said, "Brother, sister-in-law, congratulations!"

Su Jingmo also smiled and began to congratulate: "Congratulations, brother and sister-in-law!"

At this moment, Su Banxia came back to her senses. She said directly, "Quick, quick, take out your marriage certificate. I really want to see what the photo on your marriage certificate looks like!"

"Yes, let's take it out and have a look." Su Liuxing, who had been silent all the time, also spoke, with a look of anticipation on his face.

"I want to see it, too." Yu Wantong looked at Huo Jianqiu, her eyes full of smiles. Her face was filled with anticipation, as if she really wanted to see the marriage certificate.

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became heated, and everyone was excitedly swarming and shouting for the two to quickly take out their marriage certificate. In fact, the marriage certificate itself was not a rare thing, but the atmosphere at the moment had already been set to this point, and everyone couldn't suppress their curiosity and wanted to see it very much.

Huo Jianqiu was about to speak when she heard Su Zeqi say slowly, "We haven't got a marriage certificate yet."

"Cough--" Su Banxia was choked by the sudden news. The peanuts in her mouth got stuck in her throat, causing her to cough violently. Her throat felt hot and painful, as if it was burned by fire.

At this moment, Yu Wantong suddenly stood up excitedly, her movements so large that her chopsticks knocked to the ground, making a crisp sound. "Su Zeqi, what did you say?" Her voice was filled with disbelief and anger.

The entire box was instantly plunged into a dead silence. Su's mother had just announced the good news that the two had obtained their marriage certificate, but Su Zeqi turned around and said that they hadn't. Wasn't this a slap in the face of his own mother? This didn't seem like something he would do...
