Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 44

“By the way, Alger, who is this handsome boy beside you? He is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful boy, like the dazzling sun.” The French man gesticulated as he spoke.

 

Fu Tingzhou: “This is my beloved. I don’t like others staring at him.”

 

Shen Yunxing was stunned. He didn’t know what Mr. Fu said to the foreign man, but Mr. Fu’s expression seemed a bit unhappy.

 

“Tingzhou, don’t worry, he is an artist. When he sees anything beautiful, he becomes like this.” Xu Bingying explained.

 

Fu Tingzhou nodded. For the rest of the time, he chatted coolly with the French man, but his attention was entirely on the boy beside him.

 

“This fish is pretty good, want to try it?” he asked.

 

Shen Yunxing nodded, putting some of what he found delicious onto Mr. Fu’s plate.

 

Xu Bingying didn’t even finish her meal before leaving with her boyfriend, whom she had known for just a few days.

 

These two were just too lovey-dovey; she couldn’t stay any longer.

 

“Are you full?” Fu Tingzhou asked when he saw the boy stop eating.

 

Shen Yunxing patted his stomach and nodded.

 

On the way home, he told the man about his brother wanting to visit him.

 

“What should I do, Mr. Fu? I should be recovering in my hometown right now. If I see Li Mu and the others, they’ll know the truth.” He asked, flustered.

 

“Don’t worry.” Fu Tingzhou reached out and gently pinched the back of the boy’s neck, “I remember you said a few days ago that Li Mu and the others were going to start their internships, right? Just tell your brother the truth.”

 

Shen Yunxing’s eyes lit up.

 

Right, although the internship started at the end of the month, telling him a few days early wouldn’t be lying.

 

Being pregnant really affected one’s intelligence; he wasn’t this silly before.

 

He patted his increasingly bulging belly and once again blamed the unborn baby.

 

After they got home and washed up, it was just eight o’clock. Shen Yunxing’s favorite TV show had just started its opening song. He sat cross-legged on the sofa with a pillow in his arms and waved at Mr. Fu, who was holding snacks and fruit.

 

“Mr. Fu, hurry up, it’s about to start.”

 

Fu Tingzhou smiled, placing the snacks and fruit in front of the boy, then sat down next to him.

 

As soon as he sat down, the boy naturally leaned over, his shoulder tightly pressed against his, and because he was shy, he placed a pillow in his lap to cover it up.

 

“Mr. Fu, it’s really comfortable to hold this while watching TV, you should try it.” Shen Yunxing said, his ears turning red.

 

“Okay.” Fu Tingzhou responded with a smile.

 

After watching TV, it was time for bed.

 

Before going to bed, Shen Yunxing ran to his room and came back with a box.

 

“What’s this?” the man asked, feigning surprise.

 

“A gift.” He scratched his nose, a bit embarrassed, “I originally planned to give it to Mr. Fu on his birthday, but plans couldn’t keep up with changes, and I confessed to Mr. Fu ahead of time.”

 

His voice grew quieter and quieter, and by the time he said “confessed,” it was almost as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.

 

Fu Tingzhou looked at him with a smile in his eyes. Shen Yunxing’s face flushed under his gaze. He pushed the gift toward the man and said, pretending to be calm, “Mr. Fu, open it and see if you like it.”

 

“I like it.”

 

“You haven’t even seen it yet…”

 

“I’ll look now.” Fu Tingzhou said with a smile.

 

In fact, he had already seen it. The boy had spent more than half a month making a model of their first home together as a gift. How could he not be moved by such a gesture?

 

“I really like it, thank you.” He said solemnly, holding the boy’s heartfelt gift.

 

“No need to thank me, it’s only right for a husband to give his wife a gift.” Shen Yunxing said, his cheeks red.

 

“Wife?” Fu Tingzhou chuckled, placing his hand on the boy’s swollen belly, and asked with a smile, “Who exactly is the wife?”

 

The man leaned closer and closer, the heat from his stomach, though very low, still made his heart race. He pressed his hands against the man’s chest, unsure of what to do, and called out “Mr. Fu.”

 

“Are you scared?” Fu Tingzhou pinched the boy’s flushed earlobe and asked in a low voice.

 

Shen Yunxing first shook his head, then nodded.

 

It was strange. Before confessing to Mr. Fu, he had longed for intimate contact with him. But after confessing, he became timid. Even before Mr. Fu touched him, his face would turn red, his heart would race, and he wouldn’t know where to put his hands and feet.

 

Yet he also yearned for the man’s hugs and kisses. He had suddenly become so contradictory, unlike himself at all.

 

Looking at the man’s handsome face, he mustered the courage to move closer.

 

The young man closed his eyes, his expression one of heroic martyrdom, which was both laughable and endearing.

 

Fu Tingzhou lightly knocked on the young man’s head and said helplessly, “What are you thinking about? You’re pregnant now.”

 

N-no, wasn’t it about that?

 

Shen Yunxing covered his head, his face as red as a tomato.

 

He thought Mr. Fu was going to…

 

Seeing the young man’s relieved expression, Fu Tingzhou found it both exasperating and amusing. He gently pinched the young man’s cheek and said dotingly, “It’s late, go to sleep.”

 

“Mr. Fu, what about you?” Shen Yunxing’s speech was slurred because his cheek was being pinched.

 

“I have some work to finish. I’ll take the next couple of days off to keep you company at home.”

 

Shen Yunxing’s eyes immediately lit up. “I want to go to the aquarium to see the dolphins, and I want to go to the cinema to watch a horror movie. Can we, Mr. Fu?”

 

He had heard that dolphins were very intelligent, about the level of a six or seven-year-old child. He wondered if they could understand French.

 

He remembered Mr. Fu saying “mon amour” during dinner. He couldn’t spell it and had no way to look it up, but he felt the word was familiar, like he had heard it somewhere before.

 

As for horror movies, he had always loved them. Right after graduating high school, he and Zhai Zilin had planned to experience a 3D ghost movie together.

 

But Zhai Zilin and the others chickened out and bought tickets to the adjacent “Green Snake Catastrophe” instead. Although that movie was also good, it was a bit of a letdown.

 

“We can see the dolphins, but no horror movies.” Seeing the young man’s disappointed expression, Fu Tingzhou ruffled his short hair and coaxed him with a smile, “After the baby is born, I’ll take you to see one.”

 

“Really? You promise!” Shen Yunxing cheered up again.

 

“Really.” Fu Tingzhou said, his eyes full of affection.

 

…

 

Early the next morning, Shen Yunxing opened his eyes to see Mr. Fu’s handsome sleeping face.

 

He looked at the man’s thick eyelashes and high nose, feeling an itch in his hand. He reached out a finger to touch him, only to have his hand caught.

 

“Why are you awake so early?” Fu Tingzhou kissed the young man’s fingers, his deep, husky voice making Shen Yunxing’s heart race.

 

His heartbeat skipped a beat. He curled his fingers, embarrassed. “Mr. Fu, I’m hungry.”

 

That single sentence fully woke up the man.

 

“What do you want for breakfast?” Fu Tingzhou asked.

 

“Something light.”

 

“Vegetable and lean meat porridge or mushroom and chicken porridge?”

 

Shen Yunxing thought for a moment. “Vegetable and lean meat porridge.”

 

“Alright, lie down for a bit longer. I’ll call you when breakfast is ready.”

 

As Fu Tingzhou was about to get up, the young man kissed the corner of his mouth.

 

“Mr. Fu, go quickly. The baby says it’s been hungry for a long time.” Shen Yunxing said, his head buried in the covers.

 

He heard Mr. Fu chuckle, and then felt a gentle pat on his head through the blanket.

 

“Don’t stay under there too long.”

 

Hearing the door close, Shen Yunxing threw off the covers, his face flushed. He sat up and waited for the heat in his cheeks to subside before getting out of bed and going downstairs.

 

In the kitchen, the sound of chopping vegetables could be heard. Following the sound, he saw Mr. Fu wearing an apron, his legs straight, his back long and lean.

 

“You’re up?” Fu Tingzhou turned at the sound of footsteps and smiled at the young man. “The porridge will be ready soon.”

 

Shen Yunxing nodded, his eyes nearly drooling over Mr. Fu’s good physique.

 

“Mr. Fu, I’ll go set the table.”

 

He was afraid that if he kept looking, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from doing something.

 

They had a warm breakfast together, and by nine, they were ready to go out with a bag of snacks.

 

“I heard the mermaid dance starts at ten. Mr. Fu, have you ever seen a mermaid dance? The last time I went to the aquarium was in middle school, and I missed it.”

 

Mr. Fu, who had been dragged to watch “The Little Mermaid” at least fifty times by Tang Che as a child: “No, I haven’t. This will be the first time.”

 

Hearing this, Shen Yunxing smiled with his eyes curved.

 

“Then we can watch it together.”

 

Not just mermaids, there would be many firsts with Mr. Fu worth remembering in the future.

 

Today was Saturday, so the aquarium was especially crowded. Fu Tingzhou, worried about the young man being jostled, held his hand and guided him through the less crowded areas. When it was unavoidable, he would protect the young man by keeping him close to his chest.

 

“Mr. Fu, look, it’s a polar bear!”

 

The polar bear exhibit usually didn’t attract so many onlookers, but today was an exception because a three-month-old polar bear cub was out playing with its mother.

 

The polar bear cub was small, with round eyes and a furry body, incredibly adorable.

 

“Do you want to take a photo with the polar bear cub?” Fu Tingzhou asked the young man, seeing that visitors were lining up for pictures.

 

“Yes!” Shen Yunxing nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

 

After interacting with the polar bear cub, they went on to see the sea lions, dolphins, and sharks, and finally watched the young man’s long-awaited performance—the dancing mermaid show.

 

[Old Man]: Where are the photos of my grandson-in-law? Why haven’t you sent me the photos yet!

 

[Old Man]: All you know is how to have fun. Don’t you know to let my grandson-in-law rest a bit!

 

[Old Man]: Brat, if you don’t send the photos soon, I’ll have to take extreme measures!

 

Fu Tingzhou was taking photos of the young man when messages from Grandpa Tang came one after another.

 

He shook his head with a smile, then selected a few photos and sent them to the old man.

 

After the photos were successfully sent, the old man finally calmed down.

 

[Old Man]: When will you bring him back for me to see?

 

A moment later, Grandpa Tang sent another message asking.

 

Fu Tingzhou looked at the young man interacting with the penguins from a distance and smiled as he typed a few words.

 

[Fu]: I’ll bring Yunxing back to see you at the beginning of next month.
