Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 41

“What do you have in there that’s so precious?” Fu Tingzhou asked the young man clutching his backpack tightly on the way home from work.

“Nothing much.” Shen Yunxing pursed his lips and said seriously, “Mr. Fu, it’s best not to chat with passengers while driving; it’s very unsafe.”

The young man, with a stern expression and straight gaze, looked serious yet adorable. Fu Tingzhou glanced at him and couldn’t help but smile.

“Alright,” he responded with a smile.

When they got home, Auntie Sun had just finished making dinner. Shen Yunxing changed into his slippers, placed his backpack upstairs, and then went downstairs to wash his hands and eat.

After dinner, from seven to eight was their walking time. Shen Yunxing went to his bedroom to change into more comfortable clothes. When he came out, he found that Mr. Fu was wearing the same outfit as him and couldn’t help but grin.

“Mr. Fu, shall we go?” He walked up to the man and naturally slipped his hand into his.

“Tingzhou, you and dear wear something warmer. It’s getting colder today; it might be quite chilly outside,” Auntie Sun said as she chased after them with matching jackets.

Shen Yunxing took the jacket, his dimples deepening as he said, “Got it, thank you, Auntie Sun.”

“You child, we’re all family; no need to be so polite.” Auntie Sun patted his hand with a smile, reminded Fu Tingzhou to take good care of dear, and then let them go out.

“Auntie Sun really likes you,” Fu Tingzhou said, holding the young man’s hand.

The moon was nice tonight. Shen Yunxing looked up at the stars, swaying their joined hands as he nodded, “I really like Auntie Sun too.”

“And besides Auntie Sun?” After Fu Tingzhou asked, he noticed the young man’s expression freeze for a moment.

Shen Yunxing glanced up at him, then quickly looked down, pretending not to understand. “Besides Auntie Sun, there’s Ms. Shen, Mr. Shen, and my brother.”

And you.

He kicked the pebbles on the ground, his ears turning red as he added silently.

“Xiao Fu, taking Yunxing out for a walk again?” A familiar face greeted them warmly as they passed the garden.

They often walked hand in hand in the neighborhood, never avoiding anyone. Initially, people were curious and inquisitive, but it soon became a normal sight. If they didn’t see the young couple walking hand in hand for a few days, they would even start to miss them.

“Good evening, Auntie Chen.”

Fu Tingzhou always kept a stern face in public, nodding as a greeting, while Shen Yunxing smiled and said good evening.

“Look at them, and then look at you. I’m pregnant, and you act like it’s a big deal to take a walk with me. Xiao Fu takes Yunxing for walks every day; that’s what a good husband should do,” Auntie Chen’s daughter-in-law scolded her husband.

“Wife, it hurts! I was wrong. I’ll strive to win the ‘Best Model Husband’ award for you next time,” Chen Jingchuan grinned in pain but still tried to appease his wife.

“‘Best Model Husband’?” Shen Yunxing looked puzzledly at Mr. Fu beside him, who shook his head, indicating he didn’t know either.

“You two don’t know yet? Ever since you moved into Huating, the number of people taking their wives and kids out for walks in the evening has more than doubled. When you first moved in, I thought there weren’t many people in our neighborhood, but now I realize there are quite a few.”

Chen Jingchuan’s wife, a friendly person, enthusiastically explained everything.

“You two have become the model couple of Huating. We often see Mr. Fu going out to buy groceries. There aren’t many husbands who cook for their wives and take them for walks nowadays. A husband like yours is a model husband.”

Shen Yunxing blushed, hearing her repeatedly refer to “your husband.” He tugged at Mr. Fu’s hand, silently signaling him to find a way to leave.

If they stayed any longer, his face would turn as red as a monkey’s bottom.

Noticing the young man’s hint, Fu Tingzhou smiled. He gently squeezed the young man’s fingers and then said, “The child gets easily embarrassed. We’ll be on our way.”

“No problem, young couples are always like this in the beginning. It’ll get better over time,” Auntie Chen said in an experienced tone.

As they walked away, Chen Jingchuan let out a yelp as his wife tugged his ear again.

“Listen, listen, how sweet their nicknames are. You always call me Fat Tiger. I look like this because I’m carrying your baby!”

“Wife, that’s a term of endearment. In my heart, you’ll always be the most beautiful fairy. Even if you weigh 200 pounds, I’ll love you forever!”

“Alright, you’re cursing me to weigh 200 pounds? Chen Jingchuan, this isn’t over!”

Their playful bickering gradually faded away. Shen Yunxing raised his hand to touch his slightly rounder belly, secretly worrying if Mr. Fu would still like him if he gained weight.

“What are you thinking about?” Fu Tingzhou noticed the young man spacing out and shook their clasped hands slightly.

“Nothing,” Shen Yunxing shook his head.

Now wasn’t the time to think about this. What he needed to focus on was confessing to Mr. Fu!

Fu Tingzhou shook his head and smiled. The young man was hanging his head, not even paying attention to where he was going. If it weren’t for Fu Tingzhou leading the way, he would probably have gone into the wrong house.

“It’s about time to go home.” Fu Tingzhou checked the time and reminded him.

“Okay.” Shen Yunxing nodded, tightening his grip on Fu Tingzhou’s hand and instinctively leaning closer to him.

Under the streetlights, their shadows gradually stretched out, looking like a single entity from afar. They were inseparable, completely intertwined.

At home, Fu Tingzhou placed a cushion behind Shen Yunxing, turned on the half-watched TV show, and gently ruffled his hair, saying softly, “Don’t watch for too long. I have some work to finish. I’ll come back to accompany you once I’m done.”

Feeling sweet inside from being pampered, Shen Yunxing nodded obediently, “Mr. Fu, go finish your work.”

He was eager to search on Baidu – how to confess to someone.

Fu Tingzhou raised an eyebrow. Why did it seem like the young man was hoping he’d leave?

Without pointing it out, he replied, “Alright,” then bent down to plant a light kiss on Shen Yunxing’s forehead. Seeing the young man’s dazed expression, his earlier disappointment melted away.

Shen Yunxing stood there for a long time before coming back to his senses. Blushing furiously, he touched his forehead where Fu Tingzhou had kissed him.

The place where Fu Tingzhou had kissed was burning hot, but his heart was even hotter.

This was the second time Fu Tingzhou had kissed him. Though it was only on the forehead, Shen Yunxing had never seen him be so close with anyone else.

Did this mean he was special to Mr. Fu?

His heart was pounding so hard he couldn’t think straight. Staring blankly at the TV for nearly two hours, it wasn’t until Auntie Sun brought him a glass of milk and reminded him of the time that he realized he had completely forgotten about his plan to confess because of that forehead kiss!

“Yunxing, can you grab a file for me? I think I left it on the bedside table,” Fu Tingzhou called from his study.

“Uh, okay.”

Shen Yunxing went to the bedroom, retrieved the file, and knocked on the study door to hand it to Fu Tingzhou.

“Mr. Fu, is my set of pajamas with the little cows in your room? I couldn’t find it just now.”

Lately, he had been sleeping in the same room as Mr. Fu, so their clothes were kept together. Auntie Sun rarely entered their room, so Mr. Fu usually organized their clothes.

His memory had been failing him recently; he kept forgetting things he had just put down. Fortunately, Mr. Fu was there to help.

Fu Tingzhou was in a meeting. The senior executives, startled by the boss’s spouse’s voice, pretended not to hear, focusing intently on their own tasks. Some pretended to be busy, while others faked phone calls. Only Secretary Yang and two female executives held their phones, ready to gossip.

“It’s in the left cabinet.” Fu Tingzhou took the file, then advised, “Don’t spend too long in the shower. Make sure to dry your hair before sleeping.”

“Got it. Mr. Fu, will you be busy for much longer?” Shen Yunxing, blushing, asked shyly, “I don’t want to sleep alone.”

Secretary Yang and the two female executives: Wow, another juicy piece of news besides the little cow pajamas. Who knew the boss’s spouse was so good at acting coy?

Fu Tingzhou glanced at the people in the video conference, then turned off the microphone.

“I’ll be about another half hour. I should be done by the time you finish your shower.” He smiled.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you in the bedroom.” Shen Yunxing nodded, his dimples making him look adorably sweet.

After the young man left, the smile vanished from Fu Tingzhou’s face. He sternly said, “Let’s continue.”

Secretary Yang: Boss, you change expressions faster than a Sichuan opera performer →-→.

While the other two secretaries took notes, she openly started to gossip on her phone.

“Little Spouse vs. Top Green Tea Group”

[Secretary Yang Was Smitten Again Today]: Ladies, today’s sweetness level is off the charts. The little spouse just coyly said they don’t want to sleep alone. You should’ve heard it, so soft and sweet it made me melt [content~]

[Hugs to the Boss’s Spouse]: Ahhh, I can’t handle it. The little spouse is so soft and sweet, and the boss is so doting. I’ve never seen the boss look so gentle before [excited spinning]

[Secretary Yang Was Smitten Again Today]: ?? Aren’t you supposed to be taking meeting notes?!

[Hugs to the Boss’s Spouse]: I thought you were doing it! [shocked]

[Green Tea Be Gone]: Don’t worry, I recorded it~ [cue the music and dance]

[Boss, You’ve Changed]: I regret not applying for a secretary position back then [biting handkerchief]

[I Choose the Little Spouse]: I don’t want to sleep alone [shy][tongue out]

[Green Tea Is Mine, the Little Spouse Belongs to the Boss]: Hey upstairs, you dropped your bitter melon on my balcony [lighting a cigarette]
