Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 13
Shen Yunxing’s phone vibrated, and he picked it up to see a message from Mr. Fu.
【Mr. Fu】: What did you have for dinner?
He lay on his back, rolled around on the bed while holding his phone, and then began to report to the man.
【Yunxing】: Mrs. Shen made Coca-Cola chicken wings. They were a bit greasy, but the vinegar-stirred shredded potatoes were good, so I ate a lot.
Fu Tingzhou stared at the message from the young man, and his brows slowly furrowed.
【Mr. Fu】: Why are you eating so bland? Have you forgotten what the doctor said?
【Yunxing】: There are only two people eating at home, and I don’t want Mrs. Shen to work too hard.
【Yunxing】: Mr. Fu, rest assured, I won’t let the baby go hungry. [Eating snacks.jpg]
Reading the messages, Fu Tingzhou’s brows furrowed even tighter.
【Mr. Fu】: Is your luggage packed? I’ll pick you up downstairs at 8 AM tomorrow.
There was no reply for a while. Fu Tingzhou placed his phone on the desk in his study and continued to work on his computer. He glanced at it distractedly until it was 1 AM before he coldly returned to his bedroom to rest.
Just as he turned around, the phone that he had intentionally left on the desk suddenly made a sound. He paused, turned back, and picked up the phone with a faint smile.
【Yunxing】: I’m sorry, Mr. Fu. I accidentally fell asleep just now. Can we discuss the moving arrangement in a couple of days? School is about to start, and if we bring up moving now, Mrs. Shen will definitely get suspicious.
After sending the message, the young man also added a playful and cute cat bowing emoji.
Fu Tingzhou was instantly appeased, and the corners of his cold lips slowly curled upwards.
【Mr. Fu】: Alright.
Shen Yunxing held the phone and, seeing that the man only replied with a cold “Alright,” for some reason, he felt a bit uncomfortable. So, he wrinkled his nose and tossed the phone aside.
He turned over, feeling unsatisfied, and then stretched his foot to kick the phone to the end of the bed.
*Bzzz*
The phone vibrated.
He closed his eyes and ignored it.
*Bzzz*
It vibrated again.
Shen Yunxing reluctantly lifted his eyelids, hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t resist reaching out with his toe to pull the phone closer. He unlocked it and almost exploded with anger when he read the messages.
【Mr. Fu】: Go to sleep early. I’ll pick you up downstairs tomorrow at noon.
【Mr. Fu】: Goodnight.
【Yunxing】: Didn’t you promise to discuss the moving arrangement in a couple of days? You’re not keeping your word!
The chat interface displayed “Typing…” and after five seconds, he received another message from the man, which made his ears turn red.
【Mr. Fu】: I’ll pick you up for dinner tomorrow. You said you liked the food at Willow Spring Garden, right?
Shen Yunxing’s cheeks were burning, and he changed the topic awkwardly.
【Yunxing】: The baby says it’s sleepy. Goodnight, Mr. Fu.
Mr. Fu, who received the message, had a growing smile in his eyes.
【Mr. Fu】: Goodnight. Also, please tell the baby “Goodnight” for me.
There was no reply from the other side, so this time he only waited for ten minutes before returning to the bedroom to rest.
Before going to sleep, he touched his phone and changed the young man’s nickname to 【Little One】
In just these words, it carried a tenderness and care that he himself hadn’t noticed.
The next morning, Shen Yunxing was still in a daze, but his phone kept vibrating under the pillow.
He furrowed his brows, pulled the blanket over his head, and tried to continue sleeping. However, the other person seemed determined to get his attention and continued to disturb him as long as he didn’t answer.
“Are you bothering me early in the morning?” He grabbed the phone in annoyance.
The person on the other end hesitated for a moment and then yelled back with an even louder voice, “Shen Yunxing, are you freaking crazy? I chose you for the male lead, and you dare to talk to the director like that! Are you even worthy?”
Guo Jian had originally wanted to brag to someone, but Shen Yunxing’s impatient response had caught him off guard. So, he didn’t bother pretending anymore and directly tore off the mask, gritting his teeth and saying, “I admit I was wrong last time, so I came to tell you about getting the role as soon as I got it. But you’re such an ungrateful bastard, you deserve to play cannon fodder for the rest of your life!”
This tirade completely woke up Shen Yunxing. He retorted with a “You’re crazy,” and then hung up the phone without saying anything else.
*Bzzz*
Just as he hung up, his phone rang again.
“Are you done yet? If you want to brag, go find someone else. I’m not interested in your trivial matters!”
He spoke impolitely, but the person on the other end surprisingly didn’t explode, which was rarer than a comet hitting Earth.
Suddenly, Shen Yunxing realized something. He held the phone and froze for a moment. After a brief pause, he brought the phone closer to his eyes and saw that the contact was actually “Mr. Fu”!
“I’m sorry, Mr. Fu. I didn’t know it was you.”
The young man’s tone was much less aggressive than before, and he sounded somewhat embarrassed and cautious.
A small smile tugged at the corner of Fu Tingzhou’s mouth. He found the young man, who had been so assertive and fiery just moments ago, rather cute now.
“Mm.”
On the other end of the call, Shen Yunxing heard Mr. Fu’s simple “Mm,” and his heart skipped a beat.
Could Mr. Fu be thinking that he has a bad temper, which might affect the baby’s prenatal education?
“Mr. Fu, the call just now was from a telemarketer. I’m not usually like that. It’s just that I was really annoyed,” he explained.
“I understand. If you receive telemarketing calls again, just block them,” Fu Tingzhou replied, going along with the young man’s explanation.
The man’s voice was deep, sexy, and gentle. Even though they were communicating over the phone, Shen Yunxing felt like it was right next to his ear. It reminded him of that night, and his cheeks turned completely red.
“Okay, I got it,” he mumbled, clutching his pants nervously.
“What did you have for breakfast?” the person on the other end of the line asked.
Shen Yunxing’s mind was in disarray, and he couldn’t come up with a lie. So, he told the truth.
“I haven’t eaten anything. I was woken up by a telemarketing call just ten minutes ago…”
The silence in the air felt somewhat daunting, and Shen Yunxing nervously called out, “Mr. Fu?”
After a moment, he finally got a response.
“Get dressed and come downstairs. It’s a bit cold today. Make sure to wear something warm.”
Shen Yunxing felt a bit wronged because Mr. Fu’s voice didn’t seem as gentle as it was earlier.
“Okay.”
He replied and, in a hurry, rushed to the window, pulled aside the curtain, and saw a familiar black car parked downstairs.
“Mr. Fu, please wait for a moment. I’ll be right down!”
“Put on your slippers.”
Shen Yunxing was once again surprised. “How did you know I wasn’t wearing slippers?”
Fu Tingzhou didn’t answer. He sat in the car, glanced at the sixth floor, and noticed that a certain black head hadn’t moved yet. He reminded the young man once more to go back and put on his slippers.
“I’ll do that, Mr. Fu. See you in a moment.”
After the call ended, Shen Yunxing rushed to put on his slippers. It took him about ten minutes to get himself ready, and then he hurried downstairs.
“Good morning, Mr. Fu,” he greeted politely as he got into the car.
Fu Tingzhou nodded in acknowledgment. After fastening the seat belt for him, he retrieved a thermos from the back seat and placed it in the young man’s lap.
“What’s this?” Shen Yunxing asked.
“It’s chicken soup specially stewed by Auntie Sun for you.”
Shen Yunxing looked puzzled. “Does Auntie Sun know about my situation?”
“Don’t worry, she likes you very much,” Fu Tingzhou reassured him.
More than just liking, she scolded him fiercely upon hearing that the young man had only recently turned eighteen. This morning, she had gotten up early to stew chicken soup for him and urged Fu Tingzhou to deliver it to the young man as soon as possible.
Thinking about Auntie Sun’s protectiveness, Fu Tingzhou shook his head and chuckled. He could already imagine how spoiled the young man would be when he moved in.
Shen Yunxing took a sip of the chicken soup and made a pleased sound.
Auntie Sun’s cooking was much better than Mrs. Shen’s. The chicken soup was fragrant and delicious, with no hint of fishy taste. It had a subtle hint of lemon fragrance, and just one sip made his eyes light up.
“Do you like it?” Fu Tingzhou asked as he observed the young man’s delighted expression.
Shen Yunxing nodded. “Yes, it’s very tasty. Please thank Auntie Sun for me.”
Seeing the young man finish the soup and meat, Fu Tingzhou decided to postpone their trip to Spring Garden for now.
“Do you have any plans to go out today?” he asked.
“No, I’d like to stay at home,” Shen Yunxing replied.
Fu Tingzhou nodded and then asked if the young man wanted to accompany him to the office. He could handle some work tasks while the young man was there, and it would be time for lunch when he finished.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yunxing agreed. “Sure.”
He was curious about what it would be like when the man started working. Would he be as serious and solemn as usual?
Half an hour later, Shen Yunxing followed Fu Tingzhou and took a dedicated elevator straight to the twenty-sixth floor.
As soon as they exited the elevator, they were met with dozens of curious glances. Shen Yunxing remained composed and followed the man into the office. After closing the door, cutting off all the outside gazes, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Fu, have you read all these books?” Shen Yunxing looked around the man’s office and, after a moment, asked about the two cabinets full of books against the wall.
“I’ve read most of them, and some are just for show,” Fu Tingzhou replied.
Shen Yunxing blinked in surprise. “For show?”
“For example, ‘Advanced Psychology,’ ‘Criminology,’ and ‘Criminal Law.’ These intimidating books are mostly for appearances.”
Shen Yunxing nodded. He sneakily glanced at Fu Tingzhou, who was working on the computer. Unexpectedly, for such a small matter, the man answered patiently and seriously.
He had always thought that Mr. Fu was difficult to get along with, with a bad temper. But thinking it over, Mr. Fu had never raised his voice at him, even when he said such absurd things yesterday. The cold expression lasted for less than two minutes. If it were anyone else, he would have been thrown out by now.
Mr. Fu was actually quite gentle.
Sensing the young man’s gaze, Fu Tingzhou looked up and met a pair of clear, innocent eyes.
“Gaming too much isn’t good for your eyes. There’s a resting area inside; you can take a break if you’re tired,” he reminded the young man.
“Just another half an hour of gaming, then I’ll take a break,” Shen Yunxing replied.
Fu Tingzhou nodded.
So, one sat at the desk processing documents, and the other sat on the sofa playing games seriously. Occasionally, the office was filled with the sound effects of double or triple kills in the game. The man didn’t even raise his head; he adapted to the situation quite well.
Yang, the secretary, pushed open the door, and upon seeing her boss, who normally didn’t tolerate any noise in the office, processing documents in this environment, she couldn’t believe her eyes. However, what surprised her the most was the young man sitting on the sofa.
Her boss, this “old bull,” had actually brought home a young partner!
At this moment, all Yang could think was: “Little brother, run away quickly, this bull is a workaholic!”
