Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Mm."

Hua Nuan raised her hand to tousle Qin Jiuxi’s hair beside her. Little Jiujiu was so comforting; she was just cuddling with Qin Mu, and now seeing Hua Nuan a bit nervous, she voluntarily came forward to soothe her.

Hua Nuan really liked Jiujiu, so she couldn’t help but pinch the little girl’s soft cheek.

"Jiujiu, bring your aunt some good luck."

"Hehe... Auntie, you can do it!"

Qin Jiuxi’s bright smile was like a breath of spring air, filling Hua Nuan with energy.

"Mm, wait for me to come out."

...

Aunt Li was a professional gynecologist, so the entire examination process was quick.

But when it came time to check the baby’s gender, Aunt Li was stumped.

Upon close inspection of this crucial area, there was indeed a little something extra.

But the little one’s tiny hand was right nearby, making it hard to judge...

Aunt Li shared her dilemma with Hua Nuan, who by now had some experience and followed Li closely on the ultrasound instrument, feeling a bit conflicted herself after a while.

These...

Boy or girl, it was truly hard to tell.

The little one’s hand was just perfectly in the way.

"Nuannuan, what do you think we should do? Mr. Huo is waiting for our update."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Hm, I’m not really sure what to do either.

Huo Zun was indeed eagerly waiting for the news.

"Aunt Li, let’s wait a bit longer... maybe it’ll be clearer later."

"Alright."

Hua Nuan and Aunt Li anxiously waited for half an hour, and upon re-examining, they found a shadow in that special location...

For a moment, the two of them were a bit dumbfounded.

The other doctors in obstetrics and gynecology were also stumped.

They rarely encountered such a situation...

Finally, Hua Nuan, pursing her lips, spoke firmly: "It looks like the likelihood of a boy is higher, right?"

"According to this situation, yes, it seems so..."

Aunt Li was again in a quandary.

Should she speak the truth and have Mr. Huo bring Hua Nuan for another check next time?

Seeing Aunt Li so hesitant, Hua Nuan raised her hand to rub her eyebrow, pursing her lips: "Then let’s say it’s a boy... let’s not mention it could be a girl, or else Huo Zun might be even more disappointed... Rather than disappoint him, just tell the truth now."

Aunt Li: "..."

Alright then.

Hua Nuan does understand Huo Zun well.

Aunt Li paused for thought, then sighed and said tactfully: "Cough cough, Nuannuan, congratulations, you have another little lover..."

Hua Nuan was helpless too.

Who knew Huo Zun’s genes were so strong?

Hua Nuan reluctantly rubbed her eyebrow, sat up, and placed a hand on her belly.

"Well, third son... welcome..."

Hua Nuan had mixed feelings.

For the first child, she didn’t mind if it was a boy or girl.

Honestly, when expecting this child, she secretly hoped for a daughter.

Having both a son and a daughter is every parent’s wish.

The point was, it also fulfilled Huo Zun’s small wish.

Unexpectedly, things didn’t go as wished, but it’s okay... having another son isn’t bad.

Hua Nuan forced a smile.

"Aunt Li, I’ll go out and share the good news with everyone."

"Ah yes, Nuannuan, be careful, I’ll help you..."

"Mm."

Aunt Li supported Hua Nuan as they left the examination room, where everyone had gathered, waiting for the results.

Huo Zun and Huo Qing sat there, large and small, looking strikingly cool and handsome...

Both of them had their hands clasped, visibly nervous and eager for the results.

Hua Nuan couldn’t help thinking another son wouldn’t be so bad.

Three of them looking identical could be quite a sight.

If the youngest son could resemble her a bit, even better.

...

Huo Zun saw Hua Nuan and Aunt Li coming out and slowly stood up, his hawk-like eyes revealing his tension.

He strode toward Hua Nuan, glanced at Aunt Li, and said, with lips pursed: "How are the results, is the child healthy? And, is Nuannuan okay?"

In truth, more than the gender, Huo Zun was concerned about the child’s health and his wife’s condition.

"Mr. Huo, rest assured, the child is fine, growing well, just continue with care as it’s been."

"Mm."

Huo Zun felt a slight relief knowing the little one was okay.

Hua Nuan interlocked her fingers, looked at Huo Zun, and cautiously began to speak.

"Aunt Li just checked, um, unless there’s any surprises, it’s still a boy..."

As Hua Nuan said "still," everyone gasped.

Two boys in a row, not bad, this one-fourth chance truly found its way to Huo Zun.

After saying this, Hua Nuan couldn’t help but look at Huo Zun’s handsome face, which was tightly drawn, unable to reveal any emotion.

Before she could comfort him, Huo Zun already reached out, enfolding her in his arms, placing a deep kiss on her forehead.

"It’s okay, a son is fine too... Little Nuannuan, after this one, we’re done."

In essence,

a daughter is actually not necessary...

This is the last one.

With two kids at home already, there’s plenty of liveliness.

The main point, Huo Zun thought, was if they’re old in the future, the two boys would have each other for company.

Hua Nuan: "..."

How stubborn the man was about having a daughter before, now, how adorable he is.

Hua Nuan couldn’t help but laugh, and though she wasn’t sad, tears brimmed in her eyes.

"Okay, whatever you say... after this one, no more kids."

"Mm."

Huo Zun enfolded Hua Nuan, processing this himself.

Yes, disappointment is unavoidable.

But it’s okay...

Huo Zun struggled to control his emotions...

Gu Mochen and Qin Mu initially teased Huo Zun quite a bit, but seeing another son in reality, they decided to remain silent.

Attempting to empathize with Huo Zun, they realized how hard it truly was.

Jian Ran and Mu Wan each gave their husbands a twist of the arm, punishing and expressing their disdain.

...

The atmosphere dropped a touch, yet it was saturated with warmth.

"Actually Mr. Huo... you could have it checked again."

Aunt Li couldn’t help but suggest, seeing Huo Zun’s disappointment, especially the way he masked his emotions, which was really touching.

"No need, Aunt Li... a son is just fine, he’d be Huo Qing’s brother."

Huo Zun mainly didn’t want to go through the cycle of expectation and disappointment as with Hua Nuan’s pregnancy with Huo Qing.

That feeling was truly unpleasant.

Continuously planning...

Now, he’s accepted it.

It’s good.
