Assistant to My Contracted Husband

...

After Hua Nuan confirmed her pregnancy, she decided to take a good rest for the first three months, following the doctor’s advice.

She postponed her lab arrangements until after the three-month pregnancy period.

So, the things Hua Nuan did most often were visiting the Gu Family and the Qin Family, and then getting picked up by Huo Zun to accompany him at the company.

Actually, Huo Zun could totally stay at the villa with Hua Nuan and Xiaobai.

It’s just that Hua Nuan got bored at home, so she wanted to go somewhere else for a change.

Having rested for a whole month, Hua Nuan found herself counting fingers every day, hoping time would pass quickly so she could safely get through the first trimester.

...

At 10 a.m., Huo Zun brought Hua Nuan to the company and then went to a meeting.

In fact, he’d already tried to push all the non-important meetings in the company, but this one was unavoidable.

Hua Nuan was idly playing with her phone in Huo Zun’s office, when suddenly, a new Weibo notification appeared on her phone.

News of Pregnancy, Exclusive Report: According to insiders, the lovely wife of Huo Family’s CEO, Huo Si, is already two months pregnant. Congrats!

Hua Nuan: "..."

What?

Hua Nuan blinked in surprise, then quickly clicked open the news.

The news passionately reported her two-month pregnancy.

The words were full of envy and blessings, and netizens started commenting excitedly upon hearing the news.

Everyone knew the good relationship between the Qin Family, Gu Family, and Huo Family, and started matchmaking, claiming that if this baby is a boy, he can totally form a love triangle with Little Wanzi and Little Cubao.

Some even shouted in the comment section that having a girl would be fine too...

Hua Nuan’s lips twitched slightly.

Where did this news come from?

After getting pregnant, she had repeatedly reminded Huo Zun to keep a low profile.

Don’t be high profile.

That’s why most of the pregnancy check-ups were done by doctors who visited their home.

Very low-key...

The school lab teachers were also simply told she was unwell, nothing about being pregnant.

Where did this news come from?

Hua Nuan rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache. She had always wanted to stay low-key.

She didn’t want everyone staring at her belly as soon as they saw her, it felt weird.

...

Huo Zun was in a meeting, and after it ended, he saw Hua Nuan pouting slightly, looking a bit displeased. He approached with concern, asking, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Currently, Huo Zun was most concerned with Hua Nuan’s health.

Though her early pregnancy reactions weren’t intense, she was slightly uncomfortable and a bit tired.

But Huo Zun often made a fuss over small issues, prioritizing his wife’s health above all.

"No..."

Hua Nuan tugged at the corners of her lips, then whispered, "Look, here’s the news."

Hua Nuan handed the Weibo message to Huo Zun.

"Sigh... I don’t know who leaked the news, everyone knows I’m pregnant... Ugh."

"So annoying, now the whole Quanyun City knows I’m pregnant."

Huo Zun raised an eyebrow, adding, "For now, it’s just Quanyun City, not the whole world."

Okay.

Hua Nuan mumbled, "I really don’t want all their attention focused on my belly."

Hua Nuan took a long sip of juice to calm herself and then brightened up.

"We don’t have to admit it, neither denying nor confirming. Well, over time, without official confirmation, it’ll just be a fake rumor and everyone will forget."

Hua Nuan looked at Huo Zun with hopeful eyes, saying excitedly.

Huo Zun: "..."

Really?

Seeing the subtle change on his handsome face, Hua Nuan curiously asked, "What, you don’t agree?"

"No..."

Huo Zun replied flatly.

True... it’s just according to insiders, the involved parties haven’t given a definite answer.

If left unaddressed, in time, the media might treat it as a false report and ignore it.

Huo Zun squinted his charming blue eyes, a trace of contemplation flashed across.

"Be good and rest on my lap for a bit. I’ll arrange for someone to prepare whatever you want to eat."

"No, I’ve already gained five pounds in just a month, still have eight months to go, can’t keep doing this..."

"Hmm."

Huo Zun’s thin lips curled up. He reached out to pinch her soft cheeks, then took out his phone and called the secretary.

"Prepare two servings of fresh milk, three different flavored freshly squeezed juices, and one each of egg tart and Black Forest cake, the freshest ones. And bring over three boxes of snacks."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Okay, there’s no talking sense with this soon-to-be dad.

He’s completely saying one thing while I’m saying another.

Hua Nuan tugged at her lips again, feeling even more helpless.

...

Three days later:

Huo Zun personally accompanied Hua Nuan to the military hospital to see Aunt Li for a check-up.

Sometimes, domestic traditional Chinese medicine massages can help pregnant women feel more comfortable.

After all, Mu Wan had Little Wanzi there, so Hua Nuan and Huo Zun really trusted Aunt Li.

The news of Hua Nuan’s pregnancy, after no response over three days, began to subside.

Hua Nuan felt a little relieved.

It’s not that she didn’t want to share the good news, she just preferred to keep things low-key.

The baby was doing fine, and Huo Zun accompanied Hua Nuan back to the Huo Family. At 11 a.m., there was an all-staff meeting.

As the year-end approached, there were inevitably more tasks, which Hua Nuan understood well.

During year-ends, Hua Nuan would accompany Huo Zun to events, and this year was no different.

At the company meeting, Hua Nuan dressed quite formally, her small blazer accentuating her waistline.

At just over two months pregnant, her waist was still slender, no signs of pregnancy, just a bit plumper from good nourishment, making her even more womanly.

Because of Hua Nuan’s pregnancy, Huo Zun stayed close by, afraid she might fall or get hurt.

Throughout most of the meeting, Hua Nuan sat and watched Huo Zun speak, followed by department heads giving their annual reports.

Hua Nuan felt a bit sleepy...

Thankfully, perhaps due to Huo Zun’s prior arrangement, the meeting wasn’t very long. It was almost over in an hour.

As the meeting ended, Huo Zun was the first to help An Ge leave their seats, without noticing his slower steps.

Soon, they heard the assistant’s respectful voice in the audit room.

"Mr. Huo, your items have arrived."

Hua Nuan blinked, wondering what had arrived?
