Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Inside the bedroom:

Hua Nuan’s attention was already focused on the name An’an.

An’an was undoubtedly the name Huo Zun gave to the child.

Hua Nuan wasn’t very good at choosing names, so she planned to leave it all to Huo Zun.

Hua Nuan raised her eyes to look at Huo Zun and pursed her lips, saying, "The baby’s name?"

"Yes."

Huo Zun’s blue eyes flashed with a shimmering light, and he nodded seriously. Before Hua Nuan could ask about the meaning, Huo Zun had already volunteered the explanation.

"I hope the Little Princess grows up safely and peacefully. This is my greatest wish in life."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Indeed.

As parents, it’s secondary for children to succeed.

What’s most important is, of course, wishing the child a safe and peaceful life.

Hua Nuan’s beautiful eyes grew moist, and she sniffled, as all the discomfort she felt earlier transformed into a deep sense of gratitude.

"Yes."

Hua Nuan nodded and said softly, "The name sounds lovely, and its meaning is good. I really like it."

"As long as Little Nuannuan likes it, you know, all my efforts in this life are for your likes and happiness."

The deepest confession of this life.

The man’s vow was sonorous and forceful, stirring Hua Nuan’s feelings of gratitude.

"When did you become so smooth-talking?"

"It depends on your social circle; who made me hang out with Mo Chen and Qin Mu all the time? I learned from them."

A clever touch of humor.

This was a playful way of saying Gu Mochen and Qin Mu are eloquent, wasn’t it?

Hua Nuan chuckled out loud, feeling both amused and disdainful of Huo Zun.

...

Under Huo Zun’s comfort, Hua Nuan’s discomfort gradually improved greatly, and Huo Zun voluntarily spoke, "Actually, I’ve thought of more than just the name An’an; I have many others. Want to hear them?"

"Of course I do."

Huo Zun’s warm hand rested on her abdomen, massaging it and making it warm. Hua Nuan felt cozy and relaxed.

"Like Ruirui, Flower Bud."

"And Meimei."

"Or Meow-meow, hmm... seeing Xiaobai all the time, having another little cat, they could play happily together."

That Xiaobai was adorable, once a little kitten, now a big fat cat, all chubby, mainly because the butler fed it constantly, and since Hua Nuan became pregnant, she hardly had a chance to take the little one out for a walk. Xiaobai grew fatter, now turning into Dabai.

Dabai seems to have sensed Hua Nuan’s pregnancy too; if anyone wants to get close to Hua Nuan’s belly, it immediately stretches out its claws.

Even Huo Zun can’t approach.

After driving everyone away, Dabai cowers in Hua Nuan’s arms, taking great care not to squash her rounded belly.

In any case, Huo Zun both loves and hates Xiaobai.

...

Hua Nuan listened to the man continuously recounting the names he had once chosen for the little one, and she smiled.

Such care from a father-to-be for the little one in the belly.

Hua Nuan felt warmth all over and couldn’t help but question:

"Yes, but you’ve prepared only girls’ names and clothes. What happens if it’s a boy?"

"It won’t be; I trust my instincts. It’s just regular performance."

A god-like confidence.

Hua Nuan had gotten used to the man’s god-like confidence.

"Okay, then what would over-performance look like?"

"Giving birth to a pair of twins."

Hua Nuan responded, speaking irritably: "Go get some sour plums, I want to eat sour plums."

"Alright."

Huo Zun quickly retrieved sour plums, blueberries, strawberries, everything Hua Nuan liked, and brought them all.

Hua Nuan quickly abandoned any discomfort and, faced with the delicious food, she didn’t need to think much before she started eating.

...

When Hua Nuan was nine months pregnant, her belly started to move noticeably.

The fetal movements became more evident; the little one seemed to punch around inside her belly, making it bulge and uncomfortable.

Watching the belly bulge like a ball, Jian Ran and Mu Wan found it challenging.

With such a big belly, it seemed unlikely to be a girl.

Judging by the look, it seemed more like a boy’s build.

But everyone knew that Huo Zun was supremely confident, so they refrained from saying anything in front of the man.

Yes, never hurt a man’s self-esteem.

After all, Huo Zun was counting on showing off his daughter in front of Gu Mochen and Qin Mu.
