Assistant to My Contracted Husband

As soon as they thought of this, everyone spontaneously applauded for Mu Wan.

...

The graduation ceremony ended smoothly.

Next was the time for everyone to take pictures together.

Graduation photos, photos with teachers, and so on... there were just too many.

This bachelor gown definitely needed to leave behind some memories.

Mu Wan was carefully assisted by Qin Mu to the playground, which was already crowded with graduates taking pictures.

Mu Wan still had traces of tears on her cheeks, they say a mother changes after giving birth.

Mu Wan felt that she had become more sentimental and her emotions fluctuate easily.

Other than that, she hadn’t noticed other changes in herself.

So, having teary eyes became a usual thing.

"If you keep crying, Little Wanzi won’t be happy..."

Mu Wan sniffed and quietly retorted, "They say the tears women cry after marriage are the water that flooded their brains before marriage."

Qin Mu: "..."

It seemed there was such a saying.

But how could his wife have water in her brain?

Qin Mu smiled, raising his hand to wrap around the woman’s waist, and with his large hand just touching her belly, he could feel the little one inside moving about.

Jian Ran looked at the affectionate young couple and couldn’t help but say, "Come on, look at the camera... let’s take some pictures of you both first."

"Okay."

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow and struck a pose.

In fact, the man didn’t need any extraneous poses or actions; just standing there with his tall stature, he was undoubtedly poster-worthy like an idol star.

Mu Wan smiled gently, her lips spreading the most blissful smile, making others envious.

Old Master Qin and Qin’s father and mother were waiting eagerly nearby. Seeing that Qin Mu and Mu Wan had taken enough pictures, they hurried over to take photos with Mu Wan.

Although Old Master Qin had been retired for many years, he still stood straight as a board, and Mu Wan gladly took his arm.

Every happy moment was captured...

Finally, the entire Qin family gathered for a group photo...

Jian Anguo brought Tang Bao and Cubao along to join the fun. The two children became the stars, being held and smiling brightly for the pictures, showing no signs of stage fright, cooing and babbling, adorably.

...

At noon, everyone went to the Qin family for a gathering.

Soon, the conversation turned to the issue of Little Wanzi’s name.

Everyone had gotten used to calling the child Little Wanzi.

So, they hadn’t seriously thought about the name issue.

Old Master Qin immediately declared it the most important matter.

After all, nothing was more important than Little Wanzi’s name.

Mu Wan thought of several names, such as Qin Xiaomiao, Qin Xiaomeng, but she felt they were too cute, and figured the old master might not approve, so she didn’t mention them.

Qin Mu, on the other hand, wanted something special, like Qin Aiwan...

But for the moment, he didn’t have any great inspiration, so he had to put it aside.

Even Old Master Qin and Qin’s parents didn’t think of a suitable one, so they decided to discuss it another day, postponing the decision for now.

...

After graduation.

Mu Wan received many job offers from companies, even from international organizations, all of which she declined, stating her pending childbirth.

She didn’t have too many demands for work, as doing something she liked was the most important.

And she wanted to wait until the child was born, to spend some time with them.

After all, a mother’s care is indispensable to a child.

Little Cubao was almost 2 years old, and in these two years, it was actually Jian Ran who took care of him more attentively, wanting to give the child more comprehensive care and attention.

...

When Mu Wan was eight months pregnant, the Qin family started preparing for the childbirth.

Mu Qingqiu and Dr. Du moved into the Qin family home to help take care of Mu Wan.

After all, pregnancy cravings became increasingly hard to predict, and Qin’s mother might not always get them right, so they brought in Mu Qingqiu for help.

The Qin family liked Mu Qingqiu and Dr. Du’s temperament very much; plus, with two harmonious children, they were all family and needed no formalities.

Mu Wan’s swelling condition became increasingly severe...

Her whole body had grown plumper, but except for the swelling, her limbs hadn’t gained much weight.

Qin Mu put aside all his work to be with Mu Wan as she prepared for delivery.

Mu Wan herself wasn’t too nervous, more so filled with expectation.

But conversely, Qin Mu was tense all the time...

For instance, after Mu Wan became pregnant, her sleep became light, and in fact, Qin Mu was even more alert than she was.

At the slightest movement, Qin Mu would wake up, asking if she needed anything.

After it happened a couple of times, Mu Wan thought her movements were disturbing his rest. But as it continued to happen, she realized he wasn’t resting; he was entirely focused on her.

Qin Mu became increasingly nervous... No matter how Mu Wan comforted him, she couldn’t help it, so she called Jian Ran.

After thinking for a moment, Jian Ran concluded that Qin Mu was experiencing pre-fatherhood anxiety.

When Gu Mochen found out he was becoming a father, he acted the same way, and Jian Ran was already used to it.

Hearing Jian Ran’s explanation, Mu Wan’s tense heart began to slowly relax.

However, every time she tried to reassure Qin Mu not to be nervous, Qin Mu would always say... he wasn’t nervous at all, which made Mu Wan both laugh and cry at his contradictory behavior.

At night:

In the bedroom, Mu Wan nestled in Qin Mu’s arms, and Qin Mu was gently stroking her swollen belly, telling stories to the little one inside.

For Qin Mu, this was prenatal education.

Seeing the man not resting well, Mu Wan couldn’t help but speak softly, "You don’t really need to tell stories, you should rest earlier."

"No way... I have to watch you sleep."

Qin Mu’s magnetic voice recounted the fairy tale of Snow White, and Mu Wan felt a little dazed. Even though she was about to become a mother, she still liked listening to these fairy tales.

Even though she had heard them countless times.

Qin Mu’s voice was like a piano melody, and under his magnetic voice, Mu Wan slowly closed her lovely eyes...

Qin Mu’s thin lips curled up, gazing at the woman’s sleeping face, his dark eyes full of affection. He leaned down to kiss her lips but felt no trace of sleepiness himself.

In fact, Mu Wan wasn’t asleep; she was waiting for the man to fall asleep...

After a long while, she could hear the slight sound of the man turning off the lights in the room, followed by his gentle breathing, indicating he should have fallen asleep. Mu Wan breathed a small sigh of relief, just about to turn around a bit, when she clearly felt the man’s body tensing beside her.

Could it be... the man wasn’t asleep?

"Wanwan..."
