Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 17

“When will you return to Lin’an, Mr. Fu?” On the way back, Shen Yunxing asked.

 

“For the time being, I don’t plan to go back,” Fu Tingzhou replied.

 

Shen Yunxing paused, “What about the company?”

 

“The company has grown to its current scale. Even if I take a year off, it won’t have much of an impact,” Fu Tingzhou said with a smile and a hint of helplessness. “Those people in the company aren’t just there for a free lunch. I pay them millions in salaries to come back when necessary, so that I can relax a bit.”

 

Shen Yunxing nodded, then heard the man’s warm voice saying, “You’re alone in Yun City, I’m worried.”

 

He followed the man into a high-end residential complex and asked happily, “Mr. Fu, do you plan to stay in Yun City?”

 

He thought Mr. Fu would settle himself and then leave, but he didn’t expect Mr. Fu had no intention of leaving at all!

 

“Yeah, Aunt Sun won’t be able to come for a few days, so you and Baby will have to bear with me and eat the meals I cook,” Fu Tingzhou said with a smile.

 

Shen Yunxing vigorously shook his head, his eyes shining as he looked at the man.

 

Not at all, not at all, he was happy inside.

 

The boy’s silly smile and the dependency in his eyes touched Fu Tingzhou’s heart. He raised his hand and rubbed the boy’s head twice, then reminded him to take a nap.

 

Shen Yunxing nodded, “Okay, Mr. Fu, you should also rest for a while.” Mr. Fu had been driving all morning and must be tired.

 

“Okay, I will.”

 

Hua Ting is one of the top high-end residential complexes in Yun City, with excellent environment and views.

 

Shen Yunxing returned to the bedroom and felt instantly healed when he looked out of the window at the vast blue sea not far away.

 

He was in a good mood, even sleeping with a smile on his lips.

 

At four in the afternoon, Shen Yunxing woke up rubbing his eyes, thinking of Mr. Fu’s words about staying in Yun City to take care of him, feeling a sense of unreality in his drowsiness. So, he forgot to put on his slippers and ran downstairs.

 

Not in the bedroom, not in the study, not in the kitchen…

 

Mr. Fu… is gone?

 

He stood in the middle of the living room in confusion, feeling like something was missing from his heart, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

 

The doorbell rang, and Fu Tingzhou pushed the door open and saw the boy standing barefoot on the floor, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

 

“Why aren’t you wearing slippers again?”

 

Shen Yunxing stiffened, suddenly looked up at the doorway, and saw Mr. Fu standing there with two bags of groceries. Tears fell from his eyes with a “plop”.

 

“Mr. Fu, I thought you had left.” He looked at the man with red eyes, his tone aggrieved and helpless.

 

Fu Tingzhou’s heart skipped a beat, he dropped the groceries in his hand and strode over to embrace the boy.

 

“Both you and Baby are here, where else can I go?”

 

“Mr. Fu…”

 

Shen Yunxing murmured, then tightly hugged the man.

 

Shen Yunxing felt that he had been feeling increasingly wrong lately, but he didn’t want to think about it now. He just wanted to hold the person in front of him tightly and never let him leave.

 

“It’s okay,” Fu Tingzhou stroked the boy’s back, comforting him softly.

 

“Mr. Fu, next time you go out, no matter where you go, can you tell me?” Shen Yunxing buried his head in the man’s chest, his voice muffled.

 

The boy hugged him tightly, his mouth uttering soft words, melting Fu Tingzhou’s heart.

 

“Okay,” he promised, rubbing the boy’s soft short hair.

 

The two of them hugged in the living room for a long time, until Shen Yunxing’s feet went numb from standing for so long. Blushing, he felt a little embarrassed to leave the man’s embrace.

 

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

 

No wonder he didn’t feel the cold standing barefoot on the floor for so long. It turned out that he had been stepping on Mr. Fu’s back!

 

Seeing the boy’s guilty and worried look, Fu Tingzhou smiled and said, “It’s okay, take it easy.”

 

Looking down at the boy’s bare feet, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

 

“Go upstairs and put on your slippers before coming down.”

 

“I’ll go right away!” Shen Yunxing said, about to run upstairs, then remembered that Mr. Fu said he shouldn’t run so fast, so he slowed down.

 

When he came downstairs wearing slippers, he found Mr. Fu was no longer in the living room.

 

Following the sound, he found Mr. Fu in the kitchen, wearing an apron and working at the glass countertop. He felt relieved to see him there.

 

“Mr. Fu, let me help you with the vegetables,” he said, walking over to the man and standing close to him.

 

The kitchen here was much bigger than his own, but he just wanted to be close to Mr. Fu; nothing else mattered.

 

Their elbows occasionally bumped into each other, causing Mr. Fu to drop the potatoes a few times. He glanced at the youth beside him, noticing the dimples on his cheek, and couldn’t bear to scold him.

 

They cooked three dishes and a soup, but due to someone’s interference, it took three hours longer than usual. Watching the youth finish dinner, it was already past nine in the evening.

 

“Tired?” Mr. Fu asked with a smile as he saw the youth nodding off.

 

“No,” Shen Yunxing shook his head stubbornly, even though he could barely keep his eyes open. “I still want to watch TV for a while.”

 

“Mr. Fu, can you stay with me a bit longer?” he asked, tugging at the man’s sleeve.

 

The sleepy youth looked so adorable and obedient; Mr. Fu couldn’t bear to refuse and nodded in agreement.

 

Ten minutes later, the youth fell asleep leaning on his shoulder, just as expected.

 

“Yunxing?”

 

There was no response from the latter; he was clearly fast asleep.

 

Mr. Fu carried him to bed, covered him with a blanket, and sat by the bedside, gazing at the youth’s innocent face for a while before leaving the room.

 

“Hey, Laofu, I heard from that guy surnamed Liu that you’ve come to Yun City?” Just as he returned to the study, Tang Che’s call came in.

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Hey, you didn’t even tell me when you came. Don’t you know I’ve been on a business trip to Yun City these days?”

 

Tang Che complained for a bit before teasing, “You’ve come all the way to Yun City to chase after that kid, what’s the situation now, have you caught up with him?”

 

“No, he’s too young, and the situation is a bit complicated right now, not the right time to talk about it.”

 

Mr. Fu knew what he felt for the youth, and he could see the dependency and comfort in the youth’s eyes when he looked at him. But that wasn’t what he wanted; he wanted genuine affection and admiration from the youth.

 

Moreover, the youth was sensitive, and with the baby on the way, his emotions were unstable. If Mr. Fu were to express his feelings now, the youth might think it’s out of responsibility.

 

“Hey hey hey, Laofu? Where are you?”

 

“I’ll call you back when I have time,” Mr. Fu frowned.

 

“Hey, don’t hang up, what do you mean by the situation being complicated? Also, I want to ask you, has that bastard Liu Huijin been stimulated recently? He called me and rambled on for ages, then ended up sarcastically saying I can’t give birth. Damn it, I’m a man, how can I give birth! Even if I could, it wouldn’t be with him!”

 

Tang Che was so furious that he started swearing towards the end.

 

“Even if I could give birth, it has nothing to do with him. If I were to have a child, it would be him giving birth to me!” Mr. Fu said softly after a moment of silence.

 

Tang Che was puzzled for a long time, unable to understand what he meant. He could only curse and laugh, “Damn it, I must be losing my mind to let that animal Liu Huijin give birth to me. I’ll be a legendary idiot!”

 

Mr. Fu: “…”

 

Mr. Fu: “Wish you all the best.”

 

“Damn it!”

 

…

 

The next morning, Shen Yunxing stared at his belly in the bathroom for a long time.

 

Under Mr. Fu’s careful care in recent days, he had experienced much less morning sickness. Apart from a bit of extra belly fat, he felt no real sense of being pregnant. Sometimes, he even doubted if he was pregnant at all, and if Dr. Liu had made a mistake during the examination.

 

“Yunxing, breakfast is ready.”

 

Hearing Mr. Fu’s voice, his lips couldn’t help but curl up, and he replied as he tidied his clothes, “Coming.”

 

After breakfast, Shen Yunxing carried a bag of snacks and was escorted to the school gate by Mr. Fu.

 

“If you need anything, call me. If I don’t pick up, remember to call Secretary Yang,” Mr. Fu reminded.

 

“I know, Mr. Fu, be careful on the road,” Shen Yunxing waved to the man with a smile.

 

The latter nodded. “I’ll come pick you up after school.”

 

After seeing off Mr. Fu, Shen Yunxing turned around and saw his three roommates.

 

“Yunxing, hurry up, the school bus is about to leave!” Li Mu shouted to him.

 

“Coming,” he said, jogging a few steps to catch the bus.

 

Once he sat down, Li Mu leaned over and tapped his shoulder, staring at the departing car with widened eyes. “Was that your brother’s car just now?”

 

Seeing him nod, Li Mu’s eyes, which were normally just slits, widened considerably.

 

“Not bad, Yunxing, your brother is really rich,” Zhao Qian joked.

 

Li Mu shook his head incredulously. “It’s not just about being rich. This car isn’t something ordinary rich people can afford.”

 

“It’s not that expensive,” Yu Jing scratched his head, thinking that his family had two identical cars parked in the garage. His parents always said they didn’t have money, so if this car was really expensive, his family wouldn’t be able to afford it.

 

“You don’t know, this is a global limited edition!” Li Mu grabbed Yu Jing’s neck, enviously exclaiming.

 

But it’s really not that expensive, even though his family is so poor, they can still afford it.

 

Yu Jing was choked and couldn’t speak, feeling helpless. He could only refute silently in his heart.

 

Ten minutes later, the school bus stopped in front of the teaching building, and the four of them looked excitedly at the campus wall covered with photos of the top ten outstanding students of the school over the years.

 

“Yunxi, I’m here,” Li Mu clenched his fists, looking determinedly at the empty photo frame hanging above. “One day, my photo will be hanging here too.”

 

Zhao Qian raised an eyebrow. “Then you have to surpass me first.”

 

“My acting skills aren’t bad either,” the baby-faced Yu Jing, who was half a head shorter than the other three, said seriously.

 

Yu Jing had a baby face that made it hard to determine his actual age. When he spoke seriously, there was always a sense of humor about it. Li Mu held back for a long time, but couldn’t help bursting into laughter in the end.

 

“What are you laughing at? My acting isn’t like this.”

 

Yu Jing’s face was full of frustration. He wished he could be as tall and handsome as his big brother, but he ended up with a baby face. His parents wouldn’t let him get plastic surgery, so what could he do?

 

Watching the three of them laughing together, Shen Yunxing couldn’t help but smile.

 

“Liao Weifan, the actor, is Yunxi’s classmate. Do you think we’ll get to meet him in person someday?” Zhao Qian suddenly asked.

 

“Definitely, Yunxi is Liao Weifan’s alma mater. He’ll definitely come back to visit Yunxi.”

 

“Are you guys new students?” Someone passing by interrupted their conversation upon hearing them talk about Liao Weifan.

 

Shen Yunxing nodded. “Yes, hello, senior.”

 

“So you’re freshmen. No wonder you didn’t know that Liao Weifan will be appearing at the Drama Department this afternoon. Not many people know about it. I’m telling you because I think you guys are nice. But don’t spread it around, okay?” The person said, placing a finger to his lips in a “shh” gesture.

 

The four of them nodded hastily. “Thank you, senior, we promise not to tell anyone!”

 

The four of them couldn’t stop thinking about the afternoon drama performance. They felt like sitting on pins and needles throughout most of the classes, and as soon as the bell rang, they disappeared in a flash.

 

Shen Yunxing forgot that he wasn’t alone now. When he remembered, he felt scared after the fact. Thankfully, the baby was behaving well today; it only kicked a bit and didn’t make him feel uncomfortable anymore.

 

“I’m sorry, Daddy will be more careful to protect you in the future.” He touched his belly, saying with lingering fear.

 

“He’s here, Liao Weifan is on stage!” someone shouted.

 

Since his stomach didn’t hurt anymore, Shen Yunxing didn’t pay attention. He looked up at the stage, his gaze gradually drawn to Liao Weifan’s superb acting.

 

“No wonder he’s called Liao Weifan, he’s amazing!”

 

“He’s handsome and talented, no wonder he’s famous!”

 

“Ah, Liao Weifan, I love you!!”

 

Some girls screamed crazily next to him, their voices so loud that Shen Yunxing’s heart raced. He stood still for a while, but instead of the palpitations disappearing, they became more and more severe.

 

One minute later, he couldn’t hold on any longer and had to leave the crowd, exiting the auditorium.

 

The feeling of abdominal pain became stronger and stronger. Shen Yunxing leaned against the wall, his face quickly losing color.

 

He dialed Mr. Fu’s number on his phone, but after three attempts, there was still no answer. He held his phone blankly for a while before remembering that Mr. Fu had said to call Secretary Yang if he couldn’t find him.

 

Shengshi Entertainment, Secretary Yang received the call from the little cutie, feeling happy, she answered the phone with a smile. But when she heard the weak voice of the little cutie, her heart skipped a beat.

 

“Yang Chenjie, do you know where Mr. Fu is?”

 

“The boss is in a meeting. Yunxing, what’s wrong with you? Are you okay now?” Yang Chenjie asked worriedly, running towards the conference room in high heels.

 

Shen Yunxing shook his head, sweat dripping down his forehead. “My stomach hurts so much…”

 

“Yunxing, hang in there. I’ll go find the boss!”

 

The door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Mr. Fu saw Secretary Yang rushing in anxiously, his heart tightening suddenly.

 

“Boss, Yunxing is in trouble!”

 

Mr. Fu’s face darkened suddenly. He left with a brief “meeting adjourned”.

 

“Boss, Yunxing called you three times.” Secretary Yang handed him the fully charged phone, worried. “I don’t know how Yunxing is now. I just received a call from him, and he could barely speak.”

 

“Call Liu Huijin and have him contact a reliable hospital. After everything is taken care of, notify me.” Mr. Fu calmly instructed, but his fingers holding the phone were trembling slightly.

 

“Beep beep—”

 

After two rings, the call was finally answered. Hearing the weak voice of the teenager, Mr. Fu’s heart ached.

 

“Mr. Fu, is that you?”

 

“It’s me, stay right where you are, I’m coming to get you.”

 

“Mr. Fu, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have disobeyed you…” The teenager’s voice gradually became tearful, sounding uneasy. “My stomach hurts so much, Mr. Fu, the baby… the baby will be okay, right?”

 

Mr. Fu’s steps paused slightly, then he spoke softly to reassure him, “Everything will be fine, the baby is very strong, and the baby’s daddy has to be strong too.”

 

“Yeah, I’ll be strong.”

 

“Wait for me, I’ll be there soon.”

 

“Okay… Mr. Fu, I’m a little scared, please don’t hang up, okay?”

 

Shen Yunxing’s voice was even weaker than before. Unconscious, he alternated between calling the man’s name and calling him Mr. Fu.

 

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Fu’s brow furrowed tightly. “Okay.”

 

Shengshi Entertainment was forty minutes away from Yunxi. Mr. Fu comforted the teenager and ran three red lights along the way, finally arriving twenty minutes later.

 

In a corner next to the auditorium, Shen Yunxing held onto his phone tightly, calling out to the person on the other end with dependence.

 

“Mr. Fu, I’m really scared. I once said I didn’t want the baby, but it wasn’t true. I really like it.”

 

“Yeah, I know, it’s all my fault. The baby won’t blame you.”

 

“Mr. Fu, when will you arrive? I’m really in pain.” Shen Yunxing tucked his head into his arms, curling up into a shrimp-like shape.

 

Mr. Fu arrived panting, and when he saw the huddled figure in the corner, his entire body felt as if it had been frozen, and his eyes stung as if pierced.

 

“Yunxing.” He strode over and held the teenager in his arms, his fingers gently sliding over the other’s pale cheeks, the icy touch making him feel even more uneasy.

 

Shen Yunxing remained stunned for a while before slowly lifting his head.

 

“Mr. Fu, you’re here.” He looked at the man in front of him and gave a weak smile, feeling relieved yet vulnerable.

 

Mr. Fu was clearly not a doctor, but Shen Yunxing always felt that as long as Mr. Fu was there, everything would be okay.
