Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 23

After Liu Huaijin left, Shen Yunxing lowered his head, unable to meet the man’s gaze.

 

There was no change on Fu Tingzhou’s face, but his palm was slightly warm.

 

“Do you want to turn off the light?” He broke the silence after a moment.

 

Shen Yunxing hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded. The next moment, everything was plunged into darkness.

 

In the darkness, the ambiguous and awkward atmosphere eased somewhat.

 

Suddenly, Shen Yunxing’s body tensed, and he placed a hand on the back of the man’s hand, nervously calling out, “Mr. Fu…”

 

“Don’t be afraid, nothing will happen.” The man whispered softly in his ear.

 

The man’s voice and actions were too gentle, with a hint of probing, gradually making Shen Yunxing less afraid. He slowly let go of the man’s hand.

 

“Mr. Fu…”

 

He called out nervously, unable to help but draw closer to the man.

 

…

 

Shen Yunxing had never experienced this feeling before. His head was nestled in the man’s arms, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

 

“Mr. Fu, I can help you too.” His cheeks flushed red as he hesitated, debating whether to gather the courage to speak.

 

“Yunxing.” Fu Tingzhou held the young man’s wrist, his lips brushing against the young man’s forehead in a gentle kiss.

 

“Let me hold you for a while.”

 

Mr. Fu’s voice was deep and hoarse, as if carrying a hint of charm, making people unable to resist.

 

Shen Yunxing blushed and obediently let the man hold him in his arms. The place where his forehead was lightly kissed was burning hot.

 

For some reason, as long as he stayed by Mr. Fu’s side, he would feel very reassured. Now was no exception. He reached out to wrap his arms around the man’s back and fell asleep peacefully with his forehead against the man’s chest.

 

The next day, the two tacitly avoided discussing what happened last night. As usual, after having breakfast face to face, they were driven to school by the man.

 

The only difference was that this time, Mr. Fu accompanied him into the office building.

 

The school was about to start a ten-day military training, but his current physical condition prevented him from participating. Mr. Fu came this time to help him get a sick leave.

 

“Oh, Mr. Fu is here. Thanks to the donation Mr. Fu made before, it filled the gap in the school’s library renovation fund.”

 

At first, Shen Yunxing was curious about what benefits Mr. Fu had given to the school to allow the principal to drive him in, but today he finally found out.

 

Everything went smoothly, and in less than ten minutes, the principal signed the sick leave form.

 

Before leaving, he went back to the dormitory to get something. When Li Mu and the others heard that he didn’t have to participate in the military training, they jumped and danced with envy for a while. In the end, under Mr. Fu’s gradually chilling gaze, they reluctantly let him go.

 

“Yunxing, your brother’s eyes just now were so scary.” Yu Jing muttered to him in a low voice.

 

Shen Yunxing followed his gaze and saw the man smiling at him, so he also smiled back.

 

“Really? You must have seen it wrong. Mr. Fu is very gentle.”

 

Seeing the whole process of the man’s face change from the three brothers: If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would almost have believed your nonsense!

 

On the way back to Huating, Shen Yunxing received a call from Mrs. Shen. After exchanging greetings, she mentioned the upcoming National Day holiday and asked when he would be coming home.

 

“I don’t know, we haven’t had the holiday yet.” He glanced at Fu Tingzhou sitting in the driver’s seat and said vaguely.

 

“I’m just a teacher, how would I not know when the holiday is? Your brother happens to be free on the 30th, so you can ride with him back home in the evening.” Mrs. Shen said firmly, not allowing any refusal.

 

Mrs. Shen rarely acted so assertively, and Shen Yunxing guessed that something might have happened at home. After questioning repeatedly, he finally got it out of Mrs. Shen’s mouth.

 

“It’s nothing major, your aunt’s child is sick, so they’re coming to our house for a few days.”

 

Shen Yunxing knew that Mrs. Shen didn’t like his aunt, although he didn’t know why, but that family loved taking advantage of others, which he couldn’t appreciate.

 

“Are they going to stay at our house?” He asked.

 

“Yeah, I booked a hotel for them, but they said they won’t stay in a hotel with so many people, saying it’s not clean.”

 

Shen Yunxing frowned.

 

No wonder Mrs. Shen called him insisting that he come home. There were only three bedrooms in their house, so if he didn’t go back, his aunt would have an excuse to stay there.

 

“Got it, I’ll call my brother later.”

 

“No need, I just called him a moment ago. Your brother will come directly to the school to pick you up, don’t forget.” Mrs. Shen said and then reminded him to take care of himself at school before hanging up.

 

Seeing the young man staring blankly at his phone, Fu Tingzhou asked, “Is something wrong at home?”

 

Shen Yunxing shook his head. “My aunt’s child is sick and coming to stay at our house for a few days.”

 

Fu Tingzhou, unaware of the strained relationship between Mrs. Shen and her sister-in-law, asked, “Which hospital are they going to?”

 

“Ling’an Hospital.”

 

The man seemed to ask casually, nodded, and didn’t say anything else.

 

Shen Yunxing stared at Mr. Fu’s handsome profile for a while, then withdrew his gaze and leaned his head against the car window, staring blankly at the scenery outside.

 

Mr. Fu had never mentioned his family before. Did he find family matters troublesome?

 

And what about him? Was he troublesome too?

 

His brows furrowed involuntarily.

 

Why did he care so much about Mr. Fu’s thoughts? They were only living together because of the baby. When the baby was born, he would leave, and Mr. Fu would have other men and women around him, and they would have no connection anymore.

 

Feeling a bit stifled in his chest, he frowned and forced himself not to think about the future.

 

At least for now, Mr. Fu was by his side, within reach.

 

As the car headed towards Huating, Shen Yunxing cheered up when he saw Aunt Sun, returning to being the cheerful and sunny young man who could make people happy.

 

…

 

With a week left before going home, Shen Yunxing found it boring to stay at home, so he kept himself busy every day, either helping Aunt Sun tidy up the house or volunteering to go grocery shopping.

 

But Aunt Sun refused to let him go alone, holding his wrist like taking an old man for a walk, strolling out and back, treating him like fragile goods and not allowing him to carry even a bag.

 

【Mr. Fu】: What are you doing? Have you had lunch?

 

At 12:30, he received a greeting message from Mr. Fu.

 

What am I doing? Nothing much.

 

Thinking about how Aunt Sun was protecting him so carefully, he sighed deeply.

 

【Yunxing 】: I’ve already eaten. What about you, Mr. Fu?

 

【Mr. Fu】: Not yet. I have a meeting later, so I don’t have time to eat.

 

Shen Yunxing furrowed his brows at first, but then his eyes lit up.

 

【Yunxing 】: Mr. Fu, I’ll go to the company to bring you lunch [obedient]

 

On the other side, Fu Tingzhou looked at the emojis sent by the young man, as if he could see the young man’s hopeful face with wide eyes, full of anticipation, and the smile spreading in his eyes. Several executives waiting for the meeting were stunned, unable to believe that this was the same terrifying boss who had just scolded a newcomer and almost made her cry.

 

【Mr. Fu】: Okay, I’ll have my secretary Yang pick you up.

 

Shen Yunxing received the man’s reply and almost jumped up with excitement.

 

【Yunxing 】: No need to trouble Secretary Yang, I’ll take a taxi over [happy]

 

After a moment of hesitation, he replied, “Be safe on the road.”

 

Shen Yunxing was overjoyed and quickly ran to the kitchen to find Aunt Sun.

 

“Aunt Sun, could you please make two more dishes? I’m going to bring lunch to Mr. Fu at the company.”

 

Aunt Sun was startled when she saw him running in. “Slow down. If Tingzhou knows you’re running around at home like this, he might not let you out in the future.” She tried to scare him with a stern face.

 

“I’m sorry, I won’t do it again. Please don’t tell Mr. Fu, okay?” Shen Yunxing hugged Aunt Sun’s arm, employing his skillful coaxing.

 

Faced with such a powerful opponent, Aunt Sun was powerless to resist and could only smile and shake her head.

 

An hour and a half later, at the CEO’s office of Shengshi Entertainment.

 

“Boss, aren’t you going to have lunch?” Secretary Yang, wearing high heels, knocked on the door and entered.

 

“I’m not hungry yet. You guys go ahead.”

 

“Not hungry?” Secretary Yang thought to herself: It’s been a whole morning without eating anything. Is my boss trying to cultivate immortality?

 

“How about I bring you something back?”

 

“No need.”

 

Seeing how his boss was neglecting his health, Secretary Yang’s heart skipped a beat.

 

Was her boss going to revert back to being a workaholic again?!

 

With a worried expression, she left the office, unaware of the faint “rumble” sound behind her.

 

Inside the office, Fu Tingzhou pressed his slightly aching stomach, got up to pour himself a glass of water, drank it all in one gulp, and finally felt a bit better.

 

【Fu】: Where are you?

 

He took out his phone to send a message to the young man.

 

Shen Yunxing didn’t see it. He was stopped by the security guard outside the building, holding a thermos, no matter how he explained, the security guard just wouldn’t let him in, and even said that there was no such person as Mr. Fu in the company.

 

“What Mr. Fu? There’s no such person in the company. You’ve got the wrong guy.” The security guard said impatiently.

 

Shen Yunxing frowned. “That’s impossible.”

 

“Hey, what’s wrong with you kid? I’ve been here for six or seven years, how could I not know who the boss is? There’s only one boss in the company surnamed Qian, there’s no one surnamed Fu! Hurry up and leave, or I’ll call someone!” The security guard tried to push him away.

 

“Yunxing!”

 

Fu Tingzhou came out of the elevator just in time to see this scene, his face suddenly darkening.

 

He hurried to the young man’s side, holding his wrist anxiously and asking, “What’s wrong, is there something uncomfortable?”

 

Shen Yunxing shook his head. “Mr. Fu, I’m fine.”

 

Fu Tingzhou saw that the young man’s complexion was healthy, not like someone who had a problem, but instead of putting his heart at ease, he felt a sudden chill.

 

“You’ve been working in the company for six or seven years and still don’t know who the boss is. I think you don’t need to continue working here. Go to the finance department tomorrow and apply for resignation.” He said expressionlessly.

 

The security guard’s face changed drastically, but he still mustered the courage to say, “You’re quite good at pretending. I’ve been in the company for so long, I know everyone from top to bottom, and I’ve never heard of any leader surnamed Fu!”

 

Fu Tingzhou glanced at him. “Who are you related to?”

 

“My niece is Mr. Qian’s wife.” The security guard raised his head proudly, looking quite pleased with himself.

 

Just then, Qian Youde, with a beer belly, came running over in their direction. He heard his subordinate say that his opportunistic uncle was arguing with Mr. Fu, and he was scared out of his wits. After dragging his weak legs down the stairs, he saw Mr. Fu’s cold gaze and felt a chill down his spine.

 

Seeing his powerful backer approaching, the security guard became even more pleased with himself. He was about to call someone over when he saw his nephew-in-law bowing and smiling at the man surnamed Fu in a flattering manner.

 

“Mr. Fu, what are you doing here?”

 

Mr. Fu? The security guard was dumbfounded, his legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground.

 

Fu Tingzhou was furious. “Qian Youde, when did my Fu Group change its name to Qian?”

 

“Mr. Fu, you’ve misunderstood. My uncle is just an ignorant country bumpkin. Please don’t lower yourself to his level,” the latter wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.

 

“So, if Mr. Qian says so, does that mean I lack magnanimity if I punish him?” Fu Tingzhou said coldly, then ignored the uncle and nephew and walked into the elevator holding Shen Yunxing’s wrist.

 

“Mr. Fu, that’s not what I meant!” Qian Youde glared fiercely at his opportunistic uncle and quickly followed.

 

But they were in a private elevator, and he didn’t have access, so he could only watch helplessly as they left.

 

Inside the elevator, Shen Yunxing looked at the man beside him with curiosity written all over his face.

 

It was the first time he had seen Mr. Fu angry like this, with a stern expression and cold questioning. It was completely different from when Mr. Wu Chengshan had turned cold towards him, and the previous Mr. Fu was much scarier.

 

But he wasn’t afraid at all; instead, he felt completely safe.

 

“Sorry for scaring you just now,” Fu Tingzhou said, pursing his lips.

 

Shen Yunxing shook his head and pulled Mr. Fu to sit on the sofa, placing the dishes from the thermos on the table one by one.

 

“Mr. Fu, let’s eat quickly. The food is still hot.” He handed the chopsticks to the man and smiled brightly.

 

Fu Tingzhou’s heart fluttered, and he took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of pork rib, and brought it to the young man’s mouth.

 

“Want to eat together?”

 

Shen Yunxing blinked, feeling a bit embarrassed, but he followed his inner desire and opened his mouth to bite it.

 

“Is it delicious?” the man asked with a smile.

 

He nodded, his cheeks slightly flushed, but he felt extremely happy inside.

 

So they ate together, one bite at a time, until the meal was finished very cleanly.

 

Luckily, they had brought plenty of food; otherwise, Mr. Fu would have ended up hungry with this way of eating.

 

After the meal, Shen Yunxing rubbed his full belly and praised himself for his cleverness.

 

After finishing up in the office, Fu Tingzhou took out an apple from the fridge, peeled it and cut it into small pieces, then handed it to the young man.

 

“Eat some fruit.”

 

Shen Yunxing once again rubbed his belly. Even though he was already quite full, he couldn’t bear to refuse the apple that Mr. Fu had specially peeled for him.

 

“Thank you, Mr. Fu,” he smiled sweetly at the man and mechanically brought the fork to his mouth.

 

Seeing the young man still rubbing his belly, Fu Tingzhou smiled helplessly. “Silly boy, why force yourself to eat when you’re already full?”

 

Shen Yunxing smiled awkwardly and put down the fork obediently. “Mr. Fu, could you please help me put this away? I’ll eat it later.”

 

“Sure, go rest in the lounge for a while,” Fu Tingzhou replied.

 

Shen Yunxing nodded. He had been feeling quite tired lately, and if he didn’t rest at noon, he would definitely feel drowsy in the afternoon. Moreover, having Mr. Fu around made him feel much more at ease.

 

As he pushed open the door to the lounge, he paused and turned to look at the man. “Mr. Fu, do you want to join me?” he said, his face slightly flushed. “Um, I mean, the baby says he misses you.”

 

He patted his belly, attributing the invitation to the baby in his womb, who wasn’t even three months old yet.

 

Fu Tingzhou’s heart stirred slightly at the young man’s initiative.

 

“You go ahead and sleep. I’ll come after finishing up this document,” he said.

 

Shen Yunxing nodded and casually added, “Then I’ll wait for you.”

 

Lying on the bed, clutching the blanket that still carried the scent of the man, Shen Yunxing excitedly rolled around a bit before realizing how ambiguous his words just now had been.

 

But Mr. Fu’s expression hadn’t changed. He probably hadn’t thought much about it, right?

 

He buried his head in the blanket, feeling embarrassed to the point of almost steaming up.

 

Shen Yunxing, you’re not right. He scolded himself inwardly.

 

Could a man really enjoy being hugged by another man, craving the touch of his body?

 

He could.

 

He liked Mr. Fu’s embrace, longed for the warmth Mr. Fu left on him, and even unconsciously wanted more. Now, he was holding the blanket he had slept with Mr. Fu, and his heart was pounding like crazy.

 

With this thought, Shen Yunxing suddenly opened his eyes wide.

 

Could it be… he had fallen for Mr. Fu?
