Assistant to My Contracted Husband

In the corridor of the military district hospital.

As the cry of a newborn rang out, Huo Zun shot to his feet in excitement, but something about the sound felt off, so he couldn’t help dropping back into his seat, muttering to himself.

"No... no, no, no..."

This cry wasn’t right.

He’d at least had a son before; he could recognize a baby boy’s cry the moment he heard it, no way he’d get that wrong.

A son’s crying was strong, a bit deep, but the cry just now was obviously soft and delicate, so it didn’t match.

Huo Qing was a bit confused, not understanding why Huo Zun suddenly said something was wrong.

"Daddy, Mommy should be the only pregnant woman giving birth in the hospital right now. If it’s not Mommy, who else could it be? How could it be wrong?"

Huo Zun: "..."

Right, that made sense.

Joy flashed across Huo Zun’s face; with a jolt, he rushed straight toward the delivery room, and Huo Qing, baffled, quickly followed after him.

He couldn’t figure out why Daddy’s expression had suddenly gone from pleasant surprise to utter ecstasy.

Like he’d unexpectedly hit the jackpot.

No, more exaggerated and more thrilling than winning the jackpot...

What on earth was going on with Daddy?

...

Inside the delivery room.

Auntie Li was just as excited after helping deliver Hua Nuan’s baby.

"Nuannuan, it’s... it’s a girl..."

"Nuannuan, congratulations, ah, my, my, that’s wonderful, a Little Princess, now your family name is complete."

After she finished speaking and saw that there was no response from Hua Nuan, she looked up and realized Hua Nuan had already passed out from exhaustion after giving birth and couldn’t hear a thing.

...

Leaving the aftercare to the other doctors, Auntie Li quickly wiped the Little Princess clean, weighed her, then wrapped her up snugly in a little blanket, her face full of joy. Right then, a nurse couldn’t help coming over.

"Director Li, Mr. Huo is about to rush in."

Hearing that, Auntie Li inwardly clicked her tongue. This expectant dad, already on his second child and still this impulsive.

"Mm, I’ll take the baby out; you handle things in here and send the patient to the ward."

"Got it..."

The nurses all knew Hua Nuan was the famous Mrs. Huo, so they naturally didn’t dare slack off and moved quickly and efficiently.

...

"Mr. Huo, stop knocking on the door."

Auntie Li opened the delivery room door, beaming, the Little Princess in her arms. The Little Princess who had just let out a couple of delicate cries was now sleeping soundly in her arms, quiet as could be and unbelievably cute.

Sigh, she’d worked in obstetrics and gynecology for most of her life without making any major mistakes, but when it came to the Huo Family, she’d made two in a row.

Both times her prediction had been wrong.

First she’d thought it was a girl... turned out to be a chubby baby boy.

This time she’d thought it was a big chubby boy, but it turned out to be a precious baby girl. Fate really liked to mess with people.

Sigh, even though she’d been wrong, letting Huo Zun get what he wanted was still a happy outcome.

So nice...

Huo Zun stared fixedly at the tiny bundle in Auntie Li’s arms, pink and plump, noticeably smaller than Huo Qing had been at birth.

"Sorry, I was just too anxious. Auntie Li, just now... was that her crying?"

Soft and delicate, not at all like a little man, more like a tiny girl.

"Yes. Haha, Mr. Huo, congratulations, six jin six liang, a precious baby girl..."

Huo Zun: "..."

This time, Auntie Li again took the initiative to hand the baby over, but Huo Zun still raised his hands with difficulty; his hands were shaking so badly that after hesitating for a moment, he lowered them again.

He was so nervous.

Huo Zun was so tense he took several steps back in a row.

A daughter?

Seeing him still hesitating, Auntie Li laughed and said, "Mr. Huo, I’m not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, all the nurses in the delivery room saw it. She’s a girl, not missing any parts."

After Auntie Li confirmed it again and again, Huo Zun finally started to believe it a little.

Heh...

Was this... Heaven’s favor?

Huo Zun stood there stunned for a long while, then let out a soft laugh.

So good.

Huo Qing was also a bit dazed. A daughter meant it was a little sister.

What a surprise...

He’d actually always wanted a little sister.

Auntie Li watched as Huo Zun went dumbfounded yet again and chuckled, taking the initiative to hold the baby out to him.

"Here you go. I heard you named your daughter An’an. And today just happens to be Christmas Eve—this name couldn’t be more fitting... Mr. Huo, your Xiao An’an. Your Little Princess."

"Mm, thank you, Auntie Li."

His own Xiao An’an.

Ecstasy surged in Huo Zun’s heart as he slowly digested it. He finally raised his hands with difficulty and took Xiao An’an into his arms. The soft, pink little baby lay quietly in the blanket, sleeping peacefully, like an Angel.
