Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Huo Qing tugged at the corner of his mouth, so... what do these voters mean to him?

Are they also godparents then?

Or is Mommy being harsh... Her words were particularly stirring, infecting everyone’s emotions.

...

After all ten contestants finished expressing themselves, the host got a bit sentimental and asked the hundred audience members present to cast their votes.

Hua Nuan watched eagerly as everyone voted, unaware that Huo Zun and Huo Qing, the father and son, were most concerned about Hua Nuan’s belly.

This little one better not cause trouble in Hua Nuan’s belly...

...

The voting was done directly on site, with the audience handing their votes directly to their favorite contestants.

Before long, Hua Nuan received more than ten votes in her hand, deeply moved.

Huo Zun and Huo Qing also quickly received more than ten votes, while the other contestants each received a few.

Actually, the vote count for the top three wasn’t far apart.

Hua Nuan wondered if the three of them seemed too high-profile?

Looking at the trend, it’s highly likely that the top three would be herself, Huo Zun, and Huo Qing—one family.

...

Huo Zun looked at Hua Nuan with her eyes wide and full of anticipation, his thin lips curling.

Sometimes, he realizes his wife’s heart is really too girlish, which is very cute and makes him adore her immensely.

Huo Qing, on the other hand, somewhat feels Hua Nuan is rather childish.

Hmm, Mommy is so childish, just like Sister Jiujiu.

But he also really likes Mommy, and really likes Sister Jiujiu.

Huo Qing takes after Huo Zun’s aloof and unique style, a paragon of elegance, but these traits obviously crumble in front of Qin Jiuxi; facing Qin Jiuxi, Huo Qing immediately reverts to being shy and bashful, just a young boy.

...

"All right, everyone look at the big screen behind you, the votes are getting closer."

With the host’s call, everyone couldn’t help but look toward the stage.

Soon, the last audience member cast their vote... and the final results were out.

Hua Nuan, Huo Zun, and Huo Qing each received an astonishingly equal number of votes, 28 each, tying for first place.

Hua Nuan was overjoyed, in a state of extreme happy bewilderment.

Wow...

Unexpectedly, the family of three really made a splash!

Hua Nuan enthusiastically bent down, holding Huo Qing’s handsome face, planting a kiss.

"Great."

Huo Qing: "..."

His cheeks were damp, and the main thing was Hua Nuan kissing him in front of a crowd; although Huo Qing tried hard to maintain his cool image, his handsome face was tinged with an unnatural blush, making him look almost like a young girl.

Huo Zun, meanwhile, was waiting for Hua Nuan to plant a kiss on him too; Hua Nuan indeed planned to do so, but realizing they were still on stage and hadn’t revealed their marriage publicly, even with the enticing male charm before her, she bit her lip and held back.

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

The whole room erupted into applause as the host awkwardly said, "The prize for first place is only one, but three first-place winners emerged at once."

Huo Zun and Huo Qing graciously spoke simultaneously.

"I’m willing to give her the first place."

"I am too."

After saying that, the father and son made a gesture of concession in perfect sync.

Hua Nuan was moved to tears... This father and son duo is so cute.

"Okay, very gentlemanly of the two gentlemen, so let’s congratulate contestant number ten, our super adorable soon-to-be mom, for winning today’s first place."

Following that, the host proactively had a giant teddy bear sent over; it was a large bear, and Hua Nuan struggled to hold it in her arms, though her joy was undeniable, her brows arching, feeling tremendously happy.

Upon seeing Hua Nuan’s good mood, Huo Zun and Huo Qing smiled, acknowledging that she’s the most important one at home; when her mood is good, naturally, the whole family’s mood improves.

...

Finally, the host also awarded Huo Zun and Huo Qing, with teddy bears slightly smaller than the one Hua Nuan was holding.

"Thank you."

Hua Nuan repeatedly expressed her thanks, feeling delighted inside.

Once the event wrapped up, Huo Zun and Huo Qing carefully helped Hua Nuan off the stage.

Off the stage, when everyone’s attention was elsewhere, Huo Zun quickly took the bear from Hua Nuan’s arms and handed his own bear to her.

"Little Nuannuan, Merry Christmas Eve..."

"Mommy, Merry Christmas."

Huo Qing also handed over his teddy bear.

There’s no helping it; to cheer up Hua Nuan, they naturally spared no effort.

Seeing the grand sync between them, Hua Nuan smiled, squinting her refined phoenix eyes, full of joy.

"Hmm, thank you..."

Hua Nuan raised her hand to hug Huo Qing in front of her, filled with happiness.

Huo Zun then raised his hand to pull Huo Qing into his arms, and simultaneously embraced Hua Nuan as well, brows filled with indulgence.

Mmm, hugging the mother and son trio like this feels pretty good.

...

Elsewhere.

After seeing Hua Nuan, Huo Zun, and Huo Qing leave, the host increasingly felt the trio was familiar, but couldn’t quite place them.

Until the director excitedly approached the host and asked.

"Do you... do you know who that family of three was just now?"

"What? What family of three?"

The host was still a bit dazed, only to hear the director excitedly continue: "It’s the award-winning family of three just now; they... they’re Huo Zun’s family."

The host immediately felt bewildered.

Ah...

So the award-winning pregnant woman, the handsome young man, and the handsome older man are one family.

No wonder they seemed familiar; it turns out to be Mr. Huo’s family.

The host suddenly understood, no wonder they seemed especially familiar.

"Oh my, how did you find out?"

"Our event was live-streamed online, and sharp-eyed people recognized them, see how silly we are, missing such great news, but it’s okay, haha, our viewership numbers are guaranteed now."

Still in a daze, the host finally snapped back to reality upon hearing the director, feeling incredibly delighted.

"I said they looked familiar; oh my, I didn’t realize they were important people, you guys better give me the recording later; just the thought of having a photo with them is like hitting the jackpot."

"You’re quite lucky, playing with those having money; who would have thought that the Huo family trio, or rather quartet, would appear here?"

"Haha, indeed..."

...

Huo Zun held Hua Nuan’s hand, and Hua Nuan held Huo Qing’s hand, with three assistants following behind, each holding a big bear.

The family of three let snowy flakes fall on their shoulders, sweetly and warmly, completely unaware that they, the family of four, were dominating the headlines of major news outlets at that very moment.
