After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

Susan and Qiu Nian chose to get married in the fall.

Their wedding was held in a church with many guests.

The wedding day was very lively and the church was almost packed with people.

They were dressed in formal attire and greeted the guests at the door with smiles on their faces.

As Qiu Nian's niece and Susan's best friend, Shen Li naturally arrived early. She held An An's hand with one hand and Lu Jingchuan with the other.

"Why didn't the two kids come?"

Susan was a little surprised not to see Shen Li's other two children.

"Those two kids still have to go to school, so I didn't let them come over to avoid causing trouble."

The two children were at the age when they could make mischief, and there was no way to stop them from having fun everywhere, so Shen Li simply let them go to school well.

Lu Jingchuan smiled slightly, "I wish you a happy wedding and a baby soon."

"Okay, we won't talk too much as a family. Please come in."

Susan accepted their blessings with a smile, and Shen Li leaned over and whispered in her ear.

"I have prepared some gifts for you, remember to open them when the time comes."

She put a lot of thought into this gift.

"Okay, I'll definitely take a look then."

Susan was stunned for a moment, and a warm feeling spread through her heart.

Shen Li is always so considerate and caring.

"Then we'll go in first."

Lu Jingchuan took Shen Li into the church and sat down in the front row. An An was young and was half asleep with his head drooping.

Shen Li had no choice but to hold An An in her arms and let him sleep well.

After Susan and Qiu Nian received the guests, they came to the center of the church and took their wedding vows according to the priest's instructions.

The pastor asked the groom: Shen Qiu Nian, are you willing to marry Susan, love her, comfort her, respect her, protect her, and be faithful to her no matter she is sick or healthy, rich or poor?

The two smiled at each other and answered at the same time: "I do."

There was constant cheering from the audience, and everyone kept shouting: "Give me a kiss, give me a kiss!"

The two had no choice but to kiss in front of everyone.

The wedding went on very quickly and before we knew it it was evening.

Most of the guests had left, leaving only their family members.

Susan thought of what Shen Li had just said and opened the gift she had sent.

Inside are Chinese medicinal herbs with long ages and excellent medicinal effects that Shen Li carefully selected, including ginseng for nourishing qi and blood, ganoderma lucidum for calming the mind and promoting sleep, saffron for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, etc. Each herb exudes a rich medicinal fragrance and is of superior quality.

There are also carefully forged gold ornaments, which shine brightly in the sun and are carved with exquisite patterns, symbolizing good luck and a love that is stronger than gold.

Qiu Nian and Susan were both a little surprised. They didn't expect Shen Li to prepare such an expensive gift.

"Ali, thank you for the gift you prepared. I would like to thank you on behalf of your aunt."

Qiu Nian poured Shen Li a glass of wine and they clinked their glasses.

"Uncle, when you marry aunt, I must prepare a big gift for you as my niece. If you want to repay me, please give me a brother as soon as possible."

Although they don't have children yet, in terms of seniority, their child will be Shen Li's younger brother from birth.

"Don't worry, uncle guarantees to complete the task." Qiu Nian smiled gently and promised with determination.

Susan's face suddenly turned completely red. She glared at him, feeling extremely shy.

"Okay, let's stop talking. If I continue, your aunt will beat me up later."

He said with a hearty laugh.

Shen Li couldn't help feeling relieved when she saw him so happy.

Fortunately, everyone around me is happy.

Seeing them happy, Shen Li was happier than herself.

Qiu Nian and Susan finished their meal with their relatives and friends before returning to the hotel they had booked in advance.

The hotel's large bed was covered with red rose petals, and there were two wedding candles next to it.

Susan and Qiu Nian sat opposite each other, their eyes filled with deep affection and attachment to each other.

Qiu Nian gently held Susan's hand and said softly, "Wife, we will be husband and wife from now on. I will take good care of you and love you for the rest of my life."

Susan's cheeks flushed, she nodded slightly, tears of happiness sparkling in her eyes.

He leaned over and kissed her on the lips, and she responded shyly.

……

A night passed, and when Qiu Nian woke up the next day, his eyes were full of happiness as he looked at Susan lying beside him.

Time flies quickly, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Susan is pregnant.

When Qiu Nian heard the news, he was ecstatic and danced with joy, completely unlike his usual elegant university professor.

He regards this child as very important.

Susan was not in good health, so he prepared different kinds of medicine for her every day to nourish her pregnancy.

The precious Chinese medicinal materials that Shen Li sent, including many good medicines for preserving pregnancy, were all used by him.

The medicines proved to be effective, and Susan's condition remained stable.

"Wife, it's time to take medicine."

Qiu Nian walked up to Susan and spoke softly. He held the medicine bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, stirring the medicine gently. When it was at the right temperature, he brought it to Susan's mouth.

It has become a habit for him to prepare medicine and feed her medicine every day.

Susan looked at Qiu Nian's serious expression and felt sad.

She always remembers all the kindness Qiu Nian has shown her.

After taking the medicine, Qiu Nian asked Susan to lie down and prepared to give her a massage.

"Aren't you worried about stretch marks? I've consulted a lot of people and they said massage is helpful. Should we give it a try?"

Qiu Nian knew that many pregnant women would develop stretch marks after pregnancy. He knew that Susan loved beauty, so he asked around for ways to maintain her beauty.

After finding out that applying pregnancy oil combined with acupoint massage can effectively relieve stretch marks.

He immediately bought the best pregnancy oil and prepared to apply the pregnancy oil massage to Susan.

Susan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that he had done so much homework behind her back.

Qiu Nian squeezed out the pregnancy oil and gently applied it on her abdomen, legs and other parts, and then used warm palms to slowly massage along the acupoints.

His movements were gentle and skillful, and each press was just right. Susan fell asleep comfortably, and he smiled indulgently.

Under Qiu Nian's careful care, Susan's health is getting better day by day. She still maintains a good figure and looks radiant. You can't tell that she is a pregnant woman at all.

Shen Li also cares deeply for Susan.

She often visited Susan and brought many nutritious meals she made herself, all suitable for pregnant women.

"Aunt, you are pregnant now, so you should eat more. These are specially made for you and are good for the baby."

Shen Li gave many warnings, saying that she had experience in giving birth.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Susan agreed with a smile.

As the days passed, Susan's pregnancy life was peaceful and happy.

Under the careful care of Qiu Nian and Shen Li, she successfully spent one peaceful day after another. After ten months of pregnancy, she finally gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
