Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 1
Outside the window, cicadas buzzed incessantly, and the stifling heat made it hard to breathe.
Inside the room, Shen Yunxing lay on the **, his pajamas fluttering in the breeze from the fan, revealing a slightly chubby and tender belly.
On one side of the pillow, the ringing of his phone was insistent, like an urgent call for attention.
Shen Yunxing frowned and reluctantly answered the call.
“Shen Yunxing, what’s wrong with you? Do you know how hard I had to work to persuade Director Zhou to let you join the crew? If it weren’t for you being my junior, who would bother dealing with you? But look at you, after just a few drinks, you started acting like a big shot, without even a greeting, you just left. Tell me, have you ever seen anyone handle things like you do?”
“Yes, this role isn’t great. The total screen time is less than half an hour, and there are no lines. But you only graduated from high school, and getting this opportunity is already luckier than most people. Instead of starting out as a lead actor, you’re dreaming big from the start. Go ahead and dream your dreams of glory!”
The person on the other end of the phone continued to talk nonstop.
Shen Yunxing, already feeling unwell, became even more uncomfortable with this fuss, and his eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
“This pimp is so self-righteous. It’s the first time I’ve seen something like this.”
“…”
There was suddenly silence on the other end of the phone.
Shen Yunxing hung up the call, raising his arm and covering his eyes in exhaustion.
A night of debauchery after drinking, a wild night.
He couldn’t even clearly remember the person’s face, all he could recall was the man’s incredibly gentle deep voice, his domineering embrace that couldn’t be refused… and the mottled bruises all over his body.
Shen Yunxing had never experienced such a situation before, and the fear and restlessness that something suppressed for a long time was about to burst forth, the feeling of his body being out of control and gradually slipping away from his grasp, all of this made him choose to escape.
But the impressions left by the man were too profound, both in his heart and in his body.
“Thump, thump—”
“Xiaoxing, it’s time to get up and have breakfast.” Shen’s mother called from outside the door.
The Shen family was a family of educators; Shen’s mother was an elementary school teacher, Shen’s father taught at a middle school, and Shen Yunxing had an older brother who was now a university professor.
Despite this, Shen’s parents didn’t insist on Shen Yunxing pursuing a career in education. They respected his own choices.
“Xiaoxing came back late last night, and I don’t know what happened. His clothes reek of alcohol, he better not have been bullied. I heard that the entertainment industry is quite chaotic.” Shen’s mother couldn’t help but worry.
Shen’s father glanced at the closed door. “He’s a young man in his twenties. What trouble could he get into? He can go out and explore, and if he hits a wall, he’ll learn his lesson.”
Shen’s mother gave him a sidelong glance and retorted, “You’re being stubborn at a time like this. Who was it that bragged to his colleagues for several days about Xiaoxing joining the cast of a movie?”
Being exposed by his wife, Shen’s father felt a bit embarrassed, coughed dryly, and fell silent.
In the bedroom, Shen Yunxing picked a long-sleeved shirt to cover up the marks on his body, and then pushed open the door.
“Mom, Dad.”
Seeing his son dressed so cautiously, wearing a mask and sunglasses, Shen’s mother joked, “My son is handsome; it’s a shame not to be a celebrity with this look.”
Shen’s father chimed in, “Wearing so much in this weather of over 30 degrees Celsius outside, you’re just asking for heatstroke.”
Shen’s mother replied, “What do you know? This is called physical sun protection.”
Shen’s father quipped, “Why not wear a mink coat for even better sun protection?”
“…”
“I don’t want to talk to you.” Shen’s mother gave him a look and turned to serve her son some food. “Eat more, you’ve been losing weight.”
Shen Yunxing had no appetite and barely managed to drink a bowl of porridge.
“Mom, where’s my brother?”
“He’s on a business trip to Yun City. He’ll be gone for about ten days. I hope he can take care of himself.”
“Don’t worry so much. My brother is already in his twenties. How could he get lost?” Shen’s father’s attempt to assert himself at this moment didn’t go over well with his wife and son. He got irritated and ate a couple more meat buns, stuffing himself.
…
At 10 o’clock in the morning, Norton Hotel.
Holding an ID card, Fu Tingzhou’s brow furrowed, his headache becoming increasingly unbearable.
Secretary Yang Chen, in high heels, stood on the side, her gaze sweeping over the messy bed, and her heart was in turmoil.
Tsk tsk, the battle was intense… wait! The boss actually slept with a just-turned-legal young man, robbing the cradle like a beast!
“When did the person leave?” Fu Tingzhou raised his hand to pinch his throbbing forehead.
Yang Chen replied, “Around 2 o’clock in the morning.”
Given that the person entered the room at around 11 o’clock and left at 2 o’clock, it meant they spent three hours together. However, from the surveillance footage, the person who was on the receiving end didn’t seem to experience much discomfort. From this conclusion, Mr. Fu, you’re not up to the task!
Secretary Yang Chen was contemplating which urologist was more authoritative and how to tactfully convince the boss not to shy away from seeking medical help, when her boss gave her a new task: to find the person without any hesitation.
“Understood, boss.”
On the way back to the company, Fu Tingzhou received a call from a friend who playfully asked if he was satisfied with the gift they prepared for him.
“Speaking of which, you should have met the young man before. He’s my cousin from my uncle’s family. He’s admired you since he was a child. He just returned from abroad and signed with your Shengshi Entertainment. He even pestered me to introduce him to you. I was so annoyed, so I told him about what happened at Norton Hotel today.”
“How about it? Isn’t the young man good-looking? Let me tell you, you’re already in your thirties, and you’re still a virgin. No one will believe that. Alright, if you don’t like women, then try men. This young man just came back from studying abroad and is a top student. He’s a match for you.”
“Xiao Yuan?” Fu Tingzhou focused on the important name amidst the barrage of words.
“Tang Mingyuan, back when we were in school, every time you came to my house, you always clung to him. You were chubby back then.” The voice on the other end of the phone chuckled twice. “People really change a lot as they grow up. Even I almost didn’t recognize him.”
Fu Tingzhou had an excellent memory; he certainly remembered that clingy chubby kid. However, the person from last night wasn’t Tang Mingyuan; it was a young man who had just turned legal.
He believed himself to have strong self-control. There was no way he could be so careless as to have a drunken fling. Moreover, he hadn’t actually drunk much last night and wasn’t even close to being drunk. Yet, he had opened the door, allowing the young man outside to stumble and fall into his arms.
What happened afterward unfolded naturally. He was like a predator that had found its prey, tirelessly seizing every inch of the young man’s body until the other fell unconscious…
Thinking of the young man’s age, Fu Tingzhou’s headache intensified.
“Hey, are you listening, old Fu? I was saying that you shouldn’t be too picky. Be careful you don’t make yourself sick.”
Fu Tingzhou frowned, “I’m hanging up.”
“Hey…damn it!” Hearing the beep from his phone, Tang Che slapped his thigh. “He hung up so quickly; there must be a problem!”
He quickly dialed Tang Mingyuan’s number, only to find that the other’s phone was turned off.
After a three-second pause, Tang Che finally understood.
No wonder Fu Tingzhou’s voice sounded off over the phone. It was as deep and seductive as a sensual demon. It turned out that a thunderstorm had long since raged and struck down, leaving nothing but ashes!
“Wei Secretary, prepare a basket of red eggs for me!” he shouted toward the door.
…
It was nearly noon by the time Shen Yunxing arrived at school. His friend Xue Li, like an abandoned big dog, was squatting at the entrance to the communications room, chatting with the security guard. When he saw Shen Yunxing approaching, Xue Li rushed up and almost knocked him over.
“Finally, you’re here. I’m melting under the sun. Let’s go, the boss and the others are already waiting in the cafeteria.”
Shen Yunxing looked at his friend’s face, tanned like a monkey’s bottom, and felt a brief moment of sympathy.
“You could have just sent me the address. Why did you come out to wait?”
“The boss insisted. He made me wait for you at the school gate.” Xue Li imitated the boss’s voice, “Little Yunxing is young, so we older brothers need to take better care of him.”
“Speaking like the boss again. Watch out, I might report to the boss.” Shen Yunxing squinted and smiled.
By fate or coincidence, the oldest few male students in the class were all gathered in their dormitory. Shen Yunxing wasn’t the youngest, so he became the youngest brother in the dorm. Throughout high school, he had been taken care of by his older brothers.
“Don’t be like that. The boss is like Tang Seng. I don’t want to be lectured by him.” Xue Li mocked.
In the midst of their playful banter, the four brothers finally met up.
“Little Yunxing, come quickly. I ordered sweet and sour spare ribs, your favorite.” Big Brother Zhai Zilin called out.
Xue Li shouted, “Why only call Yunxing? I like it too. Boss, you’re biased!”
Zhai Zilin’s tone was calm, “If you looked half as good as Yunxing, I’d immediately arrange Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for you, not just sweet and sour spare ribs.”
“Hahaha—” Third Brother Xu Moyu mercilessly laughed.
“Damn, no personal attacks!” Xue Li retorted with a laugh, taking out a small mirror from his pocket. “Although I’m not as good-looking as Yunxing, I’m not that ugly.”
Xu Moyu quipped, “You’re not ugly, you’re just a bit entertaining to look at.”
“Get lost!” Xue Li playfully cursed, then remembered Shen Yunxing’s involvement in filming.
“Speaking of which, Yunxing, that Gou Xuechang introduced you to a film crew, right? How’s it going? I haven’t seen a film crew filming before. One day, when we go to the set to visit, we can check out the future big star’s work environment.”
Shen Yunxing’s expression paused for a moment. “It fell through.”
He omitted the details about entering the wrong room while drunk, briefly explaining the situation.
After hearing the story, the three were so angry they almost flipped the table.
Xue Li exclaimed, “Gou Jian, you cheap dog. Just hearing his name tells you he’s not a good person!”
Xu Moyu nodded in agreement, “It’s fortunate that Yunxing is fast on his feet; otherwise, the consequences could have been unimaginable.”
“A role with no lines, if it’s gone, it’s gone. There are plenty of opportunities, so don’t be sad.” Xue Li patted his youngest brother’s shoulder, comforting him.
“Speaking of roles, I remembered something. There’s an elder in my family who is a relatively unknown small director. He’s planning to shoot a web drama recently and is in need of a male character number eighteen. I showed him your photo before, and he was quite satisfied with you. He kept calling me, asking when you can join the crew. But later, you mentioned in the group chat that you were going to film a movie, so I postponed this. However, I didn’t completely shut the door. If you’re interested, I can call and inquire.” Zhai Zilin, who had been quiet all along, finally spoke up.
Although Shen Yunxing didn’t say anything, his eyes gleamed with anticipation.
“What are you waiting for? Call right now!” Xue Li smacked his thigh suddenly, looking even more excited than Shen Yunxing.
Zhai Zilin came from a somewhat wealthy background. He mentioned his relative, Qintian, who was a friend of his younger uncle’s. Money wasn’t an issue for Qintian; he liked to shoot TV dramas and short films during his free time. The script and genre he picked for this drama were fine, but the challenging part was that he only used new actors. In an entertainment industry that placed the highest value on star power, breaking through with newcomers was nearly impossible.
Whether the drama would become popular or not, Qintian didn’t care. The most important thing was that they had fun making it.
When Zhai Zilin called, Qintian had been worrying about the male character number eighteen in his drama. After hearing Zhai Zilin’s intention, he didn’t hesitate. He immediately added Shen Yunxing on WeChat and added him to the drama group chat.
【”Confessions of Assassin A” Drama Group】
【Director】: Warmly welcome our Male Character Number Eighteen! [Applause][Applause]
【Male Lead】: [Applause][Applause]
【Second Male Lead】: [Applause][Applause]
…
Shen Yunxing watched as the group members were numbered up to [Male Character Number Seventeen], his expression still somewhat baffled.
After three seconds of hesitation, he did something quite social-death-worthy.
He changed the group name from “Anyone with Dreams is Remarkable” to “Male Character Number Eighteen.”
Shen Yunxing: “!!”
Inside the group chat—
【Screenwriter】: Director, your Male Character Number Eighteen is quite innovative~.
【Director】: Of course, otherwise why would it be called “Anyone with Dreams is Remarkable”? [Smoking]
Shen Yunxing held his phone and feigned calmness.
