Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Okay."

Qin Mu’s emotions gradually calmed under Mu Wan’s soothing, but Mu Wan couldn’t sleep and spoke up.

"I want to watch you sleep, hmm, you and Little Wanzi sleep together."

"Hmm."

Qin Mu voluntarily rested his head on Mu Wan’s lap but didn’t put his full weight on her legs, making it easier for Mu Wan.

Mu Wan gently rubbed Qin Mu’s forehead and brows with her hand, gaze fixed on his handsome face, a slight smile on her lips.

"Sleep."

"Okay."

Mu Wan softly hummed a tune, and under her voice, Qin Mu quietly fell asleep.

Finally hearing the man’s shallow breathing, Mu Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially since the fatigue was still noticeable on the man’s handsome face.

Under the pale yellow light, everything appeared exceptionally peaceful and cozy...

It was the warmth Mu Wan loved.

Mu Wan didn’t feel much like sleeping, watching the view outside the window; before she knew it, it was already September.

If all goes well, Little Wanzi would be born in October, early autumn, which would undoubtedly be a good time...

Mu Wan’s lips curled up.

...

Seeing the man’s brows still furrowed in sleep, Mu Wan cautiously reached out her small hand and gently smoothed them out.

With Mu Wan’s gentle touch, the brows that were knitted slowly relaxed.

"Don’t go..."

Listening to the man’s faint murmurs, Mu Wan lowered her head close to his ear.

"Wanwan."

"Don’t go..."

"You’re most important; I don’t want a child."

"If we’re lacking a child, I can spoil you like one."

"I can’t do without you."

Mu Wan: "..."

Mu Wan’s lips carried a faint smile as she prepared to hear what amusing words the man would say.

Unexpectedly, all the words from Qin Mu’s lips were related to her.

The anxiety and urgency in his words caught Mu Wan off guard.

Mu Wan bit her lip; it seemed Qin Mu was having a nightmare, still about her leaving him 8 months ago.

When she returned pregnant, she thought the matter was over.

In fact, it had left a deep impact on Qin Mu, becoming a nightmare in his heart.

Not mentioning it didn’t mean it was forgotten...

"Don’t go... Wanwan."

Watching Qin Mu’s sleeping face becoming more tense, Mu Wan quickly raised her hand to shake his shoulder.

"Qin Mu, wake up, it’s just a nightmare... It’s not real, I’m here."

Under Mu Wan’s shaking, Qin Mu quickly awoke, lifting his eyes to look at the woman beside him, anxiety evident in his dark eyes.

"Wanwan."

"Yes... Qin Mu, I’m here, I haven’t gone anywhere."

The man’s gaze was as helpless as a child’s, which made Mu Wan’s heart ache terribly.

Mu Wan proactively raised her hand to hold the man’s large hand, using her presence to soothe his emotions.

"Hmm."

Qin Mu nodded, quickly sitting up to embrace Mu Wan in his arms.

Mu Wan: "..."

In close proximity, she could feel the man’s chest tensing, emotions clearly restrained.

Mu Wan slowly reached out her small hand to hug the man, speaking softly.

"Silly, as long as you’re here, I won’t go anywhere. Hmm, it’s just a nightmare, don’t worry, it won’t happen again."

"Hmm."

Qin Mu forced a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

Mu Wan then kissed the man’s cheek, whispering: "Alright... Tell me, soon-to-be daddy, how long have you been having nightmares?"

"About half a month, since the doctor told me your due date would be in the next couple of months."

There’s also the possibility of an early birth.

In any case, knowing that Little Wanzi would soon arrive, Qin Mu became quite anxious.

"Hmm, Ranran has already had two, don’t worry."

"Hmm."

Mu Wan wasn’t sure if the man heard what she said, but seeing Qin Mu’s dark eyes gradually calming, she stopped speaking.

"Wanwan, you should sleep; Little Wanzi needs to sleep."

Mu Wan: "..."

Alright, the conversation stopper is always the daughter.

A timeless truth.

Mu Wan was long used to it, proactively saying: "Okay, but you have to promise me, no more wild thoughts and nightmares, understood?"

"Hmm."

Qin Mu squeezed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, helping Mu Wan lie down, allowing her to rest her head on his shoulder.

They both quietly enjoyed the peaceful time.

Mu Wan waited until Qin Mu’s breathing truly became shallow before she followed him to sleep.

Secretly thinking, this father’s-to-be tension is truly a problem.

Why does it exceed that of a mother’s-to-be?

...
