Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 34

Shen Yunxing was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, reaching out to touch the corner of Mr. Fu’s mouth, which was slightly upturned in the photo, and the dimple on his cheek sank deeply.

 

He hugged the photo frame stupidly for a while, then lay down on the **, found a post titled “108 Ways to Confess Love” by a netizen, and continued to study it seriously.

 

After having lunch with Mr. Fu, he watched a movie on the sofa with his tablet, occasionally glancing up at the man who was working diligently. Whenever their eyes met, he would flash a shallow dimple at him.

 

At five-thirty in the afternoon, Mr. Fu finished work on time, packed up, and then took his hand to leave the company.

 

After dinner, the two walked hand in hand downstairs for a stroll. When they reached the garden where they often met Grandma Liu, Shen Yunxing paused his steps. He looked around and unexpectedly saw Grandma Liu sitting on the bench in the garden.

 

“Mr. Fu, let’s go over and say hello to Grandma Liu,” he shook the man’s hand and said.

 

“Okay,” the latter smiled and agreed.

 

Before the two could pass through the corridor, Grandma Liu spotted them.

 

“Yunxing and Xiao Fu, come over here!” she waved at them.

 

As they approached, she pulled a middle-aged man with an extraordinary appearance beside her and said with a smile, “Come, let me introduce you. This is my son, Cai Siyuan. Xiaoyuan, these are Yunxing and Xiao Fu, both good kids like you.”

 

Isn’t Grandma Liu’s son surnamed Song?

 

Shen Yunxing was puzzled for a moment, but then quickly realized that this Cai Siyuan should be the male partner of Grandma Liu’s son.

 

“Hello, these days my mom told me that two handsome new residents moved into Huating, even said she wants to introduce them to me and Song. I thought my mom was exaggerating, but it turns out it’s true,” Cai Siyuan said with a smile. “Nice to meet you guys.”

 

Cai Siyuan didn’t look very old, probably not more than forty, and he was handsome, giving off a warm and friendly feeling. But in Shen Yunxing’s impression, people who design airplanes and rockets were all old professors with glasses. When Grandma Liu mentioned that Uncle Song and his partner worked at the Aerospace Manufacturing Bureau, the first face that came to mind was Professor Wu, the aircraft design expert. He never expected this Uncle Cai to be so young!

 

“Hello, Uncle Cai, I didn’t expect Uncle Cai to be so young,” he greeted with some surprise, accidentally speaking his mind.

 

The latter’s smile deepened when he heard this.

 

“Young? I’m already forty-three this year,” Cai Siyuan said.

 

“Ahem, dare I call myself old in front of this old lady?” Grandma Liu gave him a glance.

 

“Mom, where are you old? Yesterday when we went out to buy vegetables together, Xiao Song and I couldn’t squeeze in, and when we looked back, you were already coming out with two bags of rice,” Cai Siyuan joked.

 

The old lady glared at him. “What do you mean couldn’t squeeze in? I think you and Mingzhe just didn’t want to squeeze in.”

 

Just then, Grandma Liu’s son, Song Mingzhe, walked through the corridor and came to Cai Siyuan’s side, leaning over to kiss him on the face as if no one else was around.

 

“Mom, why did you take away my wife again?”

 

“What do you mean take away? This is my son-in-law. Can’t I ask him to accompany me for a walk?” Grandma Liu scolded her son.

 

“Sure, but why don’t you ask me to come along for a walk?” Song Mingzhe asked.

 

“Why should I ask you? You’re like a clingy plaster,” Grandma Liu teased her son.

 

“I’m not sticking to my wife, who else should I stick to?” With that, he kissed Cai Siyuan on the corner of his mouth.

 

Grandma Liu turned away, went to see her group of old sisters playing cards.

 

Shen Yunxing was speechless.

 

In just a few words, this little Uncle Song had kissed Uncle Cai several times! Looking at how close they were, he had no doubt that if he and Mr. Fu weren’t there, these two might as well have a French kiss.

 

“Don’t mess around, let me introduce you to two little friends,” Cai Siyuan somewhat helplessly pulled Shen Yunxing away from him.

 

“Hey, this one looks a bit familiar,” Song Mingzhe looked at Fu Tingzhou and said, “Called Fu, Fu what?”

 

“Fu Tingzhou,” Fu Tingzhou nodded at him.

 

“Oh right, Fu Tingzhou! I’ve seen you in a news interview!” Song Mingzhe clapped his hands and said, “Are you very rich?”

 

Fu, who was low-key: “Not bad.”

 

Song Mingzhe nodded, “That’s good. I happen to have a business, are you interested in cooperating?”

 

“You two talk, I’ll go over there with Yunxing,” Cai Siyuan said, as the little guy had been staring at him hesitantly since earlier.

 

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunxing looked at Mr. Fu expectantly.

 

“Go ahead, I’ll come over to find you after I’m done here,” Fu Tingzhou said.

 

“Okay.”

 

Shen Yunxing followed behind Cai Siyuan and walked back and forth in the corridor twice before mustering up the courage to speak, “Uncle Cai, can I ask you a question?”

 

“What question?” Cai Siyuan smiled and asked.

 

“Who confessed first between you and Uncle Song?” he asked, his face turning red.

 

“It was me,” Cai Siyuan replied.

 

Seeing the young boy widen his eyes in surprise, he couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “Are you so surprised? If I tell you, I confessed not just once, but three times before he agreed.”

 

“!!”

 

Shen Yunxing was so shocked that he couldn’t even speak.

 

“At that time, we were good buddies. I still remember the first time I confessed to him, he was both surprised and angry. He didn’t talk to me for a month. I thought our friendship was over, but then this guy came to me after getting drunk, saying he still wanted to be friends.”

 

Cai Siyuan shook his head, smiling, “Actually, at that time, he already liked me. He even kissed me secretly while I was asleep.”

 

“I thought to myself, since we both like each other, we shouldn’t miss out. Since he didn’t dare to take the first step, I took ninety-nine steps, and he just needed to take the last step towards me.”

 

With a happy smile on his face, he continued, “Luckily, I didn’t give up, and neither did he.”

 

As the storyteller didn’t cry, Shen Yunxing, the listener, made himself teary-eyed. He rubbed his eyes and his determination to pursue Mr. Fu became even stronger!

 

After listening to Uncle Cai’s many stories from the past, he hadn’t had enough of their fairy-tale love story when Mr. Fu returned.

 

“Mr. Fu, are you done talking?” he walked up to the man and proactively held his hand.

 

Mr. Fu’s heart stirred slightly, he squeezed the boy’s fingers, and smiled, “Yes, let’s go home.”

 

Shen Yunxing nodded, said goodbye to Cai Siyuan, and then stuck to Mr. Fu all the way home.

 

They arrived home at exactly eight o’clock. He cuddled with snacks in his arms and watched TV shows with Mr. Fu.

 

Seeing the web drama he starred in, with the ratings soaring all the way, and even faintly surpassing the TV dramas directed by popular directors, he was excited all night. He yawned and got up from bed the next morning.

 

Today was October 7th, the day school started, and he had to go to school with Mr. Fu to apply for leave.

 

Things went smoothly, but when he went back to the dormitory to pack his things, he was bombarded with questions by several roommates. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he had to lie and say he was sick and had to go home to recuperate.

 

The three of them didn’t suspect anything and even said they would visit him during the break, which scared him into shaking his head and saying he was going back to his hometown to recover. Only then did they give up.

 

“Are you going home to rest or coming to the company with me?” After leaving school, Fu Tingzhou asked.

 

Without hesitation, Shen Yunxing replied, “Go to the company.”

 

He smiled and ruffled the boy’s hair, fastened his seatbelt, and then drove towards Shengshi Entertainment.

 

On the way, Shen Yunxing suddenly received a call from Zhai Zilin, and as soon as he answered, the guy shouted loudly, “Yunxing, guess what I found!”

 

He held the phone away from his ear and waited for the other person to finish before saying, “How should I know what you found!”

 

“A photo! A photo of me and Uncle Fu!”

 

“You’re talking nonsense. Are you too immersed in the drama and having hallucinations or something?” 

 

Shen Yunxing became anxious as soon as he heard this. He had been living with Mr. Fu for several months and only managed to get four photos together. Zhai Zilin had only seen Mr. Fu once, and now he had a photo together? He didn’t believe it!

 

“It’s true. If you don’t believe me, I’ll send you the photo on WeChat for you to see.”

 

As his phone vibrated, he opened WeChat and saw a photo of two boys, one big and one small. The older one looked about seventeen or eighteen, and the younger one was only about seven or eight. He looked at it again and again, and the teenager who looked seventeen or eighteen was none other than Mr. Fu, who had just graduated from high school!

 

“Why do you have a photo with Mr. Fu?!” Shen Yunxing instantly became jealous to the point of bursting.

 

“I asked my mom, and she said Uncle Fu was with Aunt Qianran at the time, and he only came once. This photo was accidentally taken by my mom, and later she thought Uncle Fu looked too handsome, so she kept it.”

 

Zhai Zilin was also particularly surprised. “I didn’t expect the world to be so small. After so many years, I actually met Uncle Fu again. This is probably fate!”

 

Fate, my foot. Shen Yunxing thought to himself: I’m the one who has fate with Mr. Fu. Forget about it.

 

He was still thinking about the photo even after entering the office with the man.

 

“Mr. Fu, do you remember this photo?” After being silent for almost half an hour, he walked up to the man with his phone, intending to clarify things, or else he would feel uncomfortable for several days.

 

Fu Tingzhou was also surprised when he saw the photo because he didn’t even remember when such a photo was taken. It wasn’t until he saw Fu Qianran sitting in the corner that he remembered.

 

“I remember,” he recalled. “The woman sitting on the left side of the sofa is my aunt. That day, she had a big fight with my second uncle, her father, so she took her luggage and went to stay at her friend’s house. I drove her there.”

 

Second uncle? Shen Yunxing thought: It should be the second uncle that Sister Yang mentioned.

 

But those weren’t the main points!

 

“That was our first meeting, but why were you holding him?” He pointed to the two people leaning shoulder to shoulder in the photo and asked sourly.

 

The first time he met Mr. Fu, not only did they not hug, but he was also coldly stared at by the man…

 

Fu Tingzhou was stunned for a moment, then he gently touched the boy’s blushing eye corner and smiled, asking, “Are you jealous of something that happened more than ten years ago? And it’s with a seven or eight-year-old kid.”

 

“Who’s jealous? I’m just asking casually,” Shen Yunxing raised his chin stubbornly.

 

Fu Tingzhou chuckled softly, then pulled the boy into his arms, patting his back and soothing him softly, “Be good, don’t be angry anymore, okay? From now on, I’ll only take photos with you, alright?”

 

The boy buried his head in the man’s chest without saying a word, and after a moment, he whispered, “And the baby.”

 

Author’s note:

 

Mr. Fu (laughing): The first time we met, you were the one who was in my arms, weren’t you?…

 

Shen Yunxing (blushing): Ahhh, shut up!

 

For those who didn’t get the little red packet, the story continues, and the first ten cute readers who leave a comment will receive a red packet~

 

“Old vinegar” is a Chinese metaphorical expression that refers to jealousy or resentment, especially in the context of romantic relationships. It’s often used to describe someone who feels jealous or resentful towards their romantic partner’s interactions with others, or towards someone who is perceived as a romantic rival.

 

In the context of the chapter title “陈年老醋” (Chén nián lǎo cù), “陈年” (chén nián) means “old” or “aged,” and “老醋” (lǎo cù) means “old vinegar.” So, the title “陈年老醋” can be translated as “Aged Old Vinegar,” metaphorically implying feelings of jealousy or resentment.
